4-way reboot

I stumbled on this 4-way reboot hack for miui to reboot into recovery, or dl mode but it doesnt work. The menu is there for it, but it fails. The phone doesnt even reboot normally. Any tricks to get this working? At least a reboot at minimum?

http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?2301-MOD-4-Way-Reboot-Mod-for-All-Devices

EDIT: I scrolled down to the next post on the page, it has a tutorial for messing with the .smali and putting it back in. Any one want to give it a go?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
I was actually just checking that out today. When I get home tonight I'll see if I can get it working.

Quick question. I just installed MIUI, and I noticed I have two Gallery apps. One with a darker background than the other. I tried removing one, but it says I can't remove system apps. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
you can remove the one that you dont want through titanium backup.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
One gallery is the android gallery and the other is the 3d miui gallery.

That would be awesome. There is a tutorial on mikeymikes page for getting home haptic to work. I was able to do it on a theme before. It seems like a similar process. Might want to glance at that too, some good info

I know I already set it up but it's worse than it was before now for me. Every time I receive a message it closes. It's getting annoying
[Captivate Android Development] Cozmo1:
trialsrider1, if you want you can install this update (a simple update I put together) to Miui 1.5.27 - which is the English 1b pack that includes the MMS force close fix file.

Download here.

Looking for help installing an

Email.apk file in MIUI. I use root explorer and put it in system/app and mount and set permissions but it never install on reboot. Can someone help a newb out on what he's missing? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] trialsrider1:
Flash through recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] Cozmo1:
Yes. Sorry I should've said that initially.

Boot into recovery and choose "install zip from sdcard"
[Captivate Android Development] Cozmo1:
What happens when you click on the Email.apk file? It should try to install and ask you to replace the current one. If this is not the case make sure you're setting the permission to 644 (rw-,r--,r--)

SMS/Notification bar

ok 1st of all i must say that i love this rom and i have using it for almost a month now . i just update to the latest version and here is few things that bugs me. what is that dialog box when i get a text msg !!!?? how do i get rid of it ?? and where is my beloved notification bar ?? how come i don't have all the options anymore ? adjust brightness,screen rotate, shut down, reboot and etc ... ??!
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Is the dialog box you referring too the one asking for permission when you get a text?

Scroll the icons to the left and you will see the rest of the icons.

Of if you want to go back to the old drop down:

Settings -> Personal -> turn off Enable custom toggles
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I would go back to the old mms.apk. I'm currently having issues with it as well.
[Captivate Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
I have the same problem and im using glitch I don't remember this happening without it
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
I had this problem a few builds ago, but I don't remember it happening since maybe build 20 or so, but it may happen still and I just don't notice anymore :)
[Captivate Android Development] ronii1123:
So, I've been reading and I noticed that I am not alone with the SMS issues, but I was wondering if anyone fixed the force close when you click on a contact and select SMS. That and in SMS, when typing it doesn't display all my contacts, which forces me to check my contacts which force closes when I select the option the send an SMS to the contact... any ideas and fixes for this?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
There was a fix posted earlier but it just caused more problems. It will be fixed on Friday. Click on each contact and edit the phone number, click on the mobile icon (do it again if they are already on mobile), and then they should be searchable through the sms app.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Wow this is strange Im on the newest version of miui and have had no problems with sms at all. I have sent video via text as well as pics...hmmm
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The bug is if you go into the contacts app and then pick a person and select sms, and you will get a force close. But if you choose someone with whom you already had a conversation with, it won't force close.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
hmmm...okay now I see it, I guess I didn't even notice it, maybe because im having converstions with the same people over and over again. I did notice another glitch. Whenever I want to send a video via text, even if I use the low grade setting on the camera, when I try to attach it I get a pop up saying that the file is too large. Is there anyway I can change the file size limit?
[Captivate Android Development] trialsrider1:
I tried changing the limits in mms_configure.xml but I got fc's so I removed the changes. Anyone know how to adjust it?
[Captivate Android Development] jlo20431:
Everytime I import a theme into theme manager it doesn't show up. I. Have made sure it's an mtz file also and also imported it manually by putting it in the miui theme folder myself. Does anyone know why I can't get the themes to show up? It was working a yesterday and today stopped
[Captivate Android Development] piyush7243:
sometimes say 2out of 10 calls just dont get through and i cant even disconnect them. There is a green icon in the taskbar which shows a call is on and then i have to reboot my phone to get connectivity back.

It happened on .20 and .27 on JL2 and JK4 modems. Any way to fix this.
[Captivate Android Development] nima352000:
yea dialog box asking for permission how do i get rid of this ? :(
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Use the old mms.apk from 1.5.27.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
If it's not showing up then the theme hasn't been updated to work on the new MIUI. Are these themes you've created or ones you're downloaded?
[Captivate Android Development] nima352000:
where do i get it from ? link ?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's in the 1.5.27 download. If you still have it on your sd card, you can just extract it from the zip, copy and paste the mms.apk, overwrite it, change permissions, and then reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] jlo20431:
I got this one from the miui devs forum. http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?1082-THEME-UPDATED-5-29-11-Elite-Pro-HD-V3.5

It says it was updated on 5/29 so I'm not sure why it doesn't show up. Is there a limit to how many themes you can have in your theme manager? Cause I do have a lot

I've had some issues as well, BUT if you try a reboot they might show up if they are created for the newer Miui
[Captivate Android Development] jlo20431:
Yeah that fixed it. Thanks a lot, it was really beginning to get on my nerves. Now I just need to learn how to make my own themes.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Hmm, the theme manager might not be refreshing properly when you import certain themes.

I'll have to do some tests.
[Captivate Android Development] dawiejr:
No Panarama mode on MIUI Camera...and poor battery life (10 hours)

That's so far the only complaints I have...

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] ronii1123:
An easy alternative fix for the SMS issue is pretty much download a different SMS app like Go SMS, That's what fixed it for me, now I just use Go SMS and I get no force closes or anything, I am now content with MIUI :)
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:

hey guys...i cant seem to get the homescreen wallpaper to work....this is the first time im flashing a MIUI rom..so maybe ive missed out something?
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
I'm on the newest version as well, and didn't have this problem. Chose the contact, selected SMS, and it went to a compose screen.

Overall loving MIUI. Yeah, the battery drains about 3 times as fast as a normal 2.2 rom, but hey, that's the price you pay for beauty :)
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
I charged it to 100% last night then took it off. 90% after 8 hours of not doing anything! All I ever do on my phone is SMS, and that takes a big toll on battery!
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
So are you saying your phone used 90% while idle? If that is the case then something is definitely wrong.

I unplugged mine last night, as well and I am sitting at 58% right now and here are my current stats
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Nah, my battery was 91 when I woke up, and now it's 89%!
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Ok good then thats great battery :)
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Yeah, I know! My biggest problem is texting all day and result battery. I can text all day and that's all I do on my phone, and I'll be down to something like 35% after 15 to 16 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Then you are one of the lucky few that doesn't have the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Well I agree I do the exact same thing you do, but only get 10+ hours, but 99% of my problem is, I have very poor signal at work, so 90% of my battery is used by constantly searching for signal.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Is it going to be worth it to update my phone to the newest version out now?
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Depends on what you want. I mean the newest version has been out for a couple of days and seems to be very stable other than the MMS bug, which is fixable.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
No fix currently, the one posted earlier caused force closes. Won't be fixed until Friday.

So if you use the contact app sms feature, wait until Friday.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Has anyone had any issues with GPS not working? I flashed to stock to redo my process and flashed only the newest Miui. Everyother time I have flashed RC2 but figured that was fixed to where we didn't have to anymore. Is that still a prerequisite for Miui? And when I say GPS wont work I mean it won't find any location with only GPS enabled.

Edit: I should say I flashed back because my phone had the bad IMEI issue so I flashed back to stock for that purpose. My phone was kind of laggy as well so I figured why not.
[Captivate Android Development] ronii1123:
Well, if you are willing to use a different SMS app like Go SMS then all is well. I am currently using Go SMS and everything is working fine.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
not sure if i'm just lucky, but i've noticed that a lot of others are having major battery drain due to Android OS eating it up when you're looking at battery use in the settings menu. it seems to not let the phone go into deep sleep. i've been trying something out over the last 3 days and my results have been consistent.

1.)I flashed the 1.5.27 update as usual being sure to format system and cache just like i normally do. i run the update and i'm getting major battery drain and i noticed that the Android OS is taking of well over 20% of the battery. Battery killed in about 8 hours easily.

2.)So what i did next was said screw it, flashed back to stock,master cleared, then went on to flash MIUI again with a fresh start this time. I noticed a huge difference in battery drain (it wasn't draining, it was Awesome) and the Android OS wasn't eating up any kind of battery. it wasnt even in the menu when i checked my battery use through settings.

3.)So i thought this must just be a coincidence. I then flashed back to the 1.5.13 update just to see. ran it for a few minutes and then flashed back to 1.5.27. I noticed that once again the Android OS was back in my battery use settings and it was eating a major portion of my battery again.

4.)I said screw it again, flashed back to stock, master cleared, flashed back to MIUI 1.5.27 again and everything was all good again. No Android OS eating up battery! I'm getting 24-30 hours with a lot of use no problems. I can only imagine what my standby time would be. Probably 2-2 1/2 days at least.

So i think now I would suggest anyone who is having major battery drain to flash back to stock and then go back to MIUI and see what happens. Like I said I have tried this process over the last 3 days and it has been the exact same results.

^thnx task

i was gonna try the same thing , was just waiting for every1 to go to sleep so i dont miss any calls or txts :P

also ,

i just enabled 3g on my phone and want a toogle for it , as in 2g-3g in one click

i cant find it anywhere , all widgets redirect me to network settings , from where i can toggle it , its nice , but i preffer one click :P

and main reason being tht 3g signals are not good here in india[3g has just started -.- ] and this makes my network signals down and hence also of diturbance and bad battery

Spooky...

This has happened randomly three times, twice on 1.5.20 and once before .20 . I will unlock my phone to reply to a message, and it made a large beep noise, it's definitely not my text notification ring tone though. Does anyone know what this is or had this issue?

Just a couple of questions ..

1. In the GPS configuration is the info by default right?? Maybe this is why so many of us are having problems with our navigation?

2. My wifi and network signal icons (top) change when I pull down the notification bar, is this known already??

I was finally able to upload screen captures ... :)
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
1. Change "europe" to "us" and see if you get better results.

2. Yes, it's suppose to do that. It's how it was designed.

Flashed this ROM about two months ago (I think RC3?) and flashed back because battery life killed me and I had problems getting signal and messaging and such. I think I'm going to come back to it now though and give it a try. Coming from GR-12 while waiting for an update. Really love the new black theme. A couple questions about battery related things: Does it still stop charging around 95% to prevent overcharging? Is average battery life what the above person posted?

EDIT: Also, while I'm waiting for my phone to charge, is there a different zip to install before flashing 1.5.27? It's a small file (84mb), and I know I had to flash RC2 before RC3, so just making sure.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Battery life is getting better for sure, but is different for each user.

Battery fully charges to show 100% charge now

You can flash the latest. It contains everything you need. Just follow the instructions in the first post, but remember if you are coming from a GB bootloader rom, you must start over.

4 days later, suddenly, I have issues...

After 4 days of almost flawless testing, I had the following issues, even after reboot and clearing Battery STATS (from boot loader) - 70% battery:

1) Battery life still poor - 10-12 hours with average use - work e-mail, calls, etc. (I used to get 16 - 20 hours). I've done 3 full charge cycles.

2) SMS messaging crashed a few times - even after reboot.

3) Camera blacked out (Did not crash).

4) It'd be nice if the contacts on the SIM card and EXCHANGE, etc. were separated visibly.

5)Can the external SD be made visible?

Those are the only flaws - not bad work, guys. The ROM looks and runs well.

PS: Also - I've flashed many many many ROMS and this and MOSAIC III has been the only ROMS where my CAMERA worked for a decent amount of time before failing. On the Froyo ROMS, it actually crashed - usually after 1/2 days for most of them.

I'd help out if I had more time...but I'm in the middle of a $80m project at work, so I can't experiment too much.
