I upgraded to 1.7.22 earlier today and have just had a spontaneous reboot. The phone was sitting idle and not doing anything at the time.

It's the first time I've encountered such a problem with MIUI. Hmmm. Wonder if I should move back to 1.7.15 which was stable?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I did a clean install of 1.7.22 over nordic base and i have had no problems at all. No reboots etc. I'd definitely check any overclock or undervolt settings and adjust them or even try with stock values.

I have been playing with the default theme mtz and adding my own icons in trying to get some that kind of match. Looks ok so far!
[Defy Android Development] zencoran:
how can i install the miui dialer and messaging app on cm7? i unyaffed the system.img, and when i try to install the apps, it says not installed
[Defy Android Development] Dewman4life:
I the same as you did and have no problems at all. Very stable Rom and everything I've tested works as it should.

I have changed in the NTP server to in.pool.ntp.org. How much accuracy should I expect when indoors? I once got 40m but mostly it's at 500m and it takes quite some time to narrow it down. Is this normal?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
You can't. These apps rely on changes to framework also and the rom is closed source so no access to exact changes.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
Oddly enough, the 'Up time' number shown by my phone would tend to indicate that my reboot yesterday didn't actually occur! I wonder, does this number not reset if the phone crashes?

The Vsel settings I am using are the same as those previously used for the last couple of months or so on MIUI so I doubt that was the problem.

Ultimately, I suppose I may need to try a full wipe at some point as I've just flashed on top of the previous install for the past month or so when upgrading (cache/dalvik cache wiped, of course).
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Are yousure it was a reboot and not the launcher redrawing itself?

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
Hi there! I've done some more serious testing since last afternoon so I can share my experiences. I did a fresh install over 179-6.1GB with full wipe. My opinion hasn't changed much. Very promising, yet very immature ROM. I think developers should bugfix, rather than integrate new features. What I didn't like:

- autobrightness is still buggy, hesitating

- WI-FI signal indicator doesn't always update properly (tends to get "stuck" in a position)

- touch sensitivity is sometimes buggy (related to multitouch patch? works great under Froyo)

- FCs in theme manager

- Bluetooth toggle doesn't work sometimes (requires reboot)

- Scrolling between the screens is still not as smooth as it should be

- I miss a weather gadget and a screen-wide 4x2 clock

So... still a bit unstable, but getting better and better. I'd prefer bugfixing to feature-enrichment.

What do you think?
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Yeah, I guess it's ok now.. Have you turned on all the other agps options on in the location settings? First few times may take some time, max of 20-30 seconds.. But outdoors definitely less than 20 seconds.. Umm.. For indoors that's fine, but if you're sitting next to an open window without surrounding obstructions, again should be the same as being outdoors.. Also depends on cloud cover and weather conditions.. And also depends on your gprs/internet connectivity.. Faster the better.. :)
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Also try afresh by clearing maps data and cache..
[Defy Android Development] WolVish:
Guys I have one bug to report.. When I went from my home town network to the nearby town (roaming), my signal dropped and showed SOS mode.. I got a notification that I have disabled data transfer so that I have lost connectivity.. I don't use 3g/HSDPA at all.. I only use wifi, becase 3G rates are very high..

P.S. - After I turned on the data transfer in the toggle, I got back my network... Is this normal? My friend encountered the same with his version of MIUI, the stable one.. I am on 1.7.22..
[Defy Android Development] abhi.eternal:
Thanks. Outdoor location tracking is definitely better. Will try clearing cache afterwards, not of much use indoors anyways.

I am unable to properly connect using wifi. The phone can see the network and connect, but it also disconnects almost immediately. It is not able to keep a lock on the router. I'm using 1.7.22. I have tried selecting 'forget' but the issue remains. Any fixes?
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Umm.. Personally, I've never had any wifi troubles ever, on

Cm7 or miui.. But since these guys are using the same stuff that's there in cm7, I think you could give the solutions posted in the cm7 forum a try.. And they just released a new wifi version yesterday.. Supposed to be the best of the lot.. Try integrating that into this rom.. Other than that, what router and encryption are you using? Maybe it could be solved temporarily some other way.. Till they integrate it in the next release..
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
I'm not entirely sure. The phone 'buzzed' and the the MIUI loading screen appeared for a brief amount of time before the launcher loaded. However, I didn't see the Moto logo that would indicate a hard reboot.

Something to do with 2nd-init, perhaps? (I must admit that I've not actually looked into what 2nd-init actually does!).
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Hmm well experienced 3 of these soft reboots so far. While using the device too. 2 of them just tonight.

No idea why ill hope for it to be fixed on Friday. Maybe try and catch a logcat or last_kmsg of the reboots.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] re1743:
Yeah, I did too. I did a no wipe upgrade from MIUIandroid 1.7.15 using both miui.us and MIUIAndroid 1.7.22 and I had these soft reboots. The battery life sucked too.

I hard reset the phone, reflashed the roms and I've had no problems, but the battery life still isn't what it used to be. This release is not nearly as good as the 1.7.15
[Defy Android Development] Bendary:
I downloaded the official chinese rom from miui.com, all I need to do is to use your english add on pack and your guide as I'm switching from cm7???
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
That won't do, you need:

-the deoxed pack zip (first post, from miuiandroid).

-and the translation pack zip (first post, from miuiandroid)..

-the baseband switcher zip( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052745).

-1% battery step zip (first post).

And follow the instructions from the first post.

Good luck!
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Hey ephumuris... what do you think we could do to report issues and bugs to china? I feel this is the worst part of using miui vs cyanogenmod... the lack of ability to send feedback. The random rebooting is really annoying.

Any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
Are you using the new miui? Is it randomly rebooting?

[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Yes, since 1.7.15 I'm getting some of these I think. I do overclock, but these are soft resets. And euphemis also had them and he does not overclock.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Umm learn Chinese unfortunately, it's possible to speak to a few general devs but to pass on information to Defy specific devs i'm clueless. But you have to remember that for the few of us using a translated version there will be thousands using the Chinese version. I guess the devs do get bug reports from these users...i'm just not sure how high a priority fixing them are.

For me the only major issue on 1.7.22 is the reboots and even then they aren't too frequent. I hope for a fix on Friday. If not i go back to CM7 for now.

For everyone...what bugs do you currently see as "major"? I'm struggling now to find any as the rom does everything i need it to and looks pretty too.
[Defy Android Development] SimboXXX:
Been using 1.7.22 from Miui.us since Friday (Nordic base). Installed with cache/dalvik wipe over previous version. No reboots, no bugs. Theme Manager FC a few times downloading a theme, that's the only problem.

Battery use on standby at about 1% = 2hrs when 3g turned off.
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
Just installed miui... so far so good.. nice rom, its fast...

[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
I don't have any major issues.. No reboots either.. Atleast not cuz of miui, I have undervolted to the limit that it allows, so that causes rare reboots during demanding situations.. The rest are just minor bugs.. Can be easily overlooked as you barely notice they're there.. I've pretty much settled down on miui.. And loving it.. But I really do wish they would make an option available to this that's there in cm7, which is the option to choose between vibration and sound only for alerts during calls.. It's really irritating to have the phone buzzing at your ear when you're talking.. Battery life's decent too.. Getting 20 hours or so..
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Just noticed something that has only just started happening. My Facebook constantly flicks back to the top of the list on its own as i am reading statuses.

It's almost like it is constantly refreshing. Really irritating...is it just for me?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Pretty cool mod by Andy Thomson, Extended Settings.

It adds options to hide clock and date, change carrier name and disable wallpaper scrolling.

[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Tomorrow, we get a new version of miren browser with MIUI 1.7.29! awesomeee...

I use and love miren browser, and we never got a new version.

from miuiandroid.com:

* New Miren Browser with tabbed support for web site browsing (Miren is made by Xiaomi.com)

* AppShare has a new updated market category system allowing rating and recommendation / sharing with friends

* New Access control settings, control password security, app visibility, open app permissions, say goodbye to hiding icons in folders, the new access control settings make it global

I have no idea about the other "big" changes. And I hope they include bugfixes.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
They aren't allowing any site to publish a preview changelog anymore so that's all we will know before tomorrow's release.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
How do i change the carrier name?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
It's under date and time options. Set date and carrier format option. I had trouble finding it at first too.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] Bendary:
I had the cm7 by quarx rom but today I tried to install the miui rom by your guide and I'm stuck at the motorola logo forever, tried everything and flashed old sbf but still stuck at motorola logo what should I do??
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
Got it! Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] WolVish:
Try doing a factory reset under stock recovery (Power + vol down) and flash the full sbf again..
[Defy Android Development] samorgs:
Do you have a link for this? Nothing showing on the XDA App on my phone.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Your Facebook app right? I guess it's just you, doesn't happen to me..
[Defy Android Development] sg3707:
Yes try flashing full sbf of your choice by using RSA lite tool. It was also stuck once and it worked.
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
1.7.29 is up at miuiandroid.com. I'm downloading now, lets see how it goes.
[Defy Android Development] viron_sv:
can thy we requset for an application drawer???

MUIU's own App Drawer...
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
Downloaded and tried.... Not so many differences so far. We have some tiny little (and unneccessary) changes in Settings, but autobrightness still sucks big time and scrolling smoothness hasn't changed... Overall, it's a good ROM but I'm not sure developing is going in the right direction...
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Might not be great differences but i don't have a problem with the scrolling in this rom!

Autobrightness is a bit crappy but i'd be happy to try manual editing of the levels. Provide me with a framework-res.apk from a rom where your autobrightness works fine and i'll apply them to the latest rom. Maybe a certain Eclair or Froyo rom?

Full changelog for this week...
[Defy Android Development] Bendary:
HELP. I'm stuck on chinses after installing the rom and installing the english pack everything is still in chinese and i cant even change settings to english as its all in chinese plz help !!!
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
OK, I admit: this is a great ROM despite all shortcomings :) I just don't understang why the most trivial problems have the least attention from the developers :) Scroll is OK, anyone can live with it, but look at CM7 :)

To be frank: it's hard to switch back to other ROMs from MIUI because they all look and feel so obsolete when compared... :)
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
From the launcher:

-menu button

-settings (middle bottom)

-second tab of options

-second option of second group (keyboard drawing)

-second option

-english.

done.

Then, you need to go back to the bootmenu, goto stable recovery, an clear cache and dalvik cache.

Hope it works!

NOTE: if anyone care to check if chinese version has % battery level, so we can ask mark to correct that, it would be great!
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
I certainly hope there is an option to disable this change in the settings.

Can anybody who has installed 1.7.29 check this for me, please?

I often send long SMS messages and these are free on giffgaff, unlike MMS messages! The idiotic auto-convert to MMS used to get on my nerves on the standard Android messaging app, too.

I would check myself, but I'm flat out at work at the moment and don't think I'll have chance to mess around with the phone too much today and I'm heading for a weekend away early tomorrow morning!
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Do you REALLY send SMS more than 9 sms long? Thats just nuts to me. Still I checked, and there is no option that I can find to switch it off, but, it says on the right how long your message is, and it tells you its converting to mms, and if you go back to acceptable (ehem) SMS length, it switches back.
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
Yep. :)

I send football match reports for my local team to friends who live around the country and these often get up to 12 SMS messages in length!

Taking the choice of SMS or MMS away from users is just foolish, IMO.

Thanks for taking the time to check, however. ;)
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
I see... still I think its fine right? just stop when it switches to mms, delete 1 char, send as SMS and start over... its similar to what you have to do now when you reach the limit.
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
About the reboots... do you think it could be related to the SMARTASS governor? I was using it with my usual OC settings:

300/20

600/32

1100/60

And getting soft reboots.

I will go back to ONDEMAND with those settings, I used that for a long time without issues, and report back.
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
Hmmm. I suppose I could split my match reports so there is one shorter one for each half!

How many messages does it get to before it converts to MMS? Did you say it was 9 SMS messages? That would be usable for me most of the time.

My problem in the past was when the stock android messaging app converted to MMS after just 3 SMS messages in length! I didn't realise it was doing this for one match report and it ended up costing me a small fortune in MMS charges!

Incidentally, that's an interesting theory about the Smartass governor. I've had to bump up my Vsel settings since moving to MIUI from CM7. I may try to drop them down again next week using the OnDemand governor and see how that works out. :)
[Defy Android Development] lanfearxt:
is it me or is my icons at the dock keep running all over the place everytime i restart the phone?
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Same for me.... :P
[Defy Android Development] Bendary:
ok, I got everything working using the miui.us rom , now its a little lagy and I heard something about increasing the dalvik heap size, any help on speeding up??
[Defy Android Development] androidtester80:
DND is in Chinese like on miui.us?
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Does dnd work for anyone? I'm on .22 and dnd is active but isn't functioning.. Blacklisted number still gets thru on voice calls..

And is it worth upgrading to .29 or is it just a bunch of problems thrown our way?
[Defy Android Development] wiiija:
I wouldn't upgrade, it feels slow and for me at least the cpu wont scale past 800mhz no matter what I do (boot menu settings or setcpu).
[Defy Android Development] cile381:
Try SetVsel,but even the phone operates on 1.3GHz you will not notice any difference ... miui is lagy by itself on Defy.
[Defy Android Development] wiiija:
I'm back on 1.7.22 and honestly it is silky smooth for me, especially compared to the new version.

Turning off wallpaper scrolling uing extended settings makes it a MUCH smoother experience by the way.
[Defy Android Development] sg3707:
1.7.29 has issues with Ice cobalt theme. so people please be aware and update with default theme before updating to 1.7.29...

The launcher keeps on force closes with Ice Cobalt theme and I had to reset to factory settings which wastes lot of time for again restoring all the apps and settings back.
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
I really don't understand. I don't see any differences in speed. I did a fresh install of .22 then upgraded (with no wipe) to .29. Mine is working at the same speed as the previous version. Have you guys performed a fresh install of .29?
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
This is not working right... I think I'll try wiui later on. Anyone has experience with it?
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
Just one more word for autobrightness: while playing with custom settings I accidentally realized that under low light conditions, sensor gives a "-1" value for brightness, for which we cannot assign any screen-brighness level. If it were "0", there would be no problem.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Not had chance to read the latest comments in this thread but my opinion on latest update... Sucks.

Problems with theme manager.

Dock icons changing their order.

Noticed my maps app disappeared but still appears under search... Strange.

[Defy Android Development] drakeM:
hey guys. Now i'm on the latest cm7 nightly and i would like to try MIUI, so, could i follow the same steps as if i already was on MIUI or i should follow the "long way"? Moreover, qhere can i find the italian language pack? Thank you!
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Haha.. Was waiting for your final opinion.. Now definitely not updating.. Staying on .22.. :-P
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah the only issue I have with .22 is the occasional soft reboots. I can live with that.

.29 with the theme manager issues and icons rearrange issue is just irritating!

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Yeah.. Here too.. Very rare.. But doesn't affect me at all.. :)
[Defy Android Development] digitalhater:
How do I get back to stock after installing MIUI if I need to take the phone to service?

Thanks for helping!
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Download the stock sbf file that matches your region and network. Flash using rsd lite. Done :-)

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] digitalhater:
How do you revert back to the original ROM if needed?

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Defy Android Development] stunno:
He answered you in the post above!

Reading the sbf sticky at the top of this section
[Defy Android Development] drfakeacc:
And do a full wipe.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah forgot that part. Full wipe in stock recovery or you just loop.

Overclock on bootloader isn`t works for me.

From CM7 to MIUI 1.7.29, wipping data/cache and dalvik.

Installed from scratch, still OC from bootloader not working.

Someone with this issue too?
[Defy Android Development] cyman777:
Are there also other languages available - looking for German in particular...

Thanks!!
[Defy Android Development] drfakeacc:
And 2.3.4 is darn old..

The oly issue I had with 1.7.29 is a crash when chaning browser-settings. That's it. Running smooth and without trouble.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
1.8.5,

Fixed theme manager FC.

Fixed icons rearranging on dock.

Updated to 2.3.5.

Apparently it is also faster too :-)

Looks like I may actually update from 1.7.22 tomorrow!

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
can't wait for the new update..
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
I think I might wait for the stable one. These are getting worse and worse. The best so far for me was 1.7.15.
[Defy Android Development] sg3707:
Yes even I am in 1.7.15. Where can I get older builds for eg 1.7.22....
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Surely this is an exaggeration? The rom has improved a lot in the past few weeks minus last week's release! Tomorrow's release should be good I expect.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] drfakeacc:
Wait.. updated to 2.3.5? I'm using 1.7.29 and it shows me it is already on 2.3.5
[Defy Android Development] mujju85:
cant wait for 1.8.5 upload fast miui is just great & u r doing a great job thanks mate :)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Oh I never noticed that, it applies to all devices though not just defy version. :-)

All in doing is keeping a thread going. Not doing much hard work.

Lol.. Same here.. :)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Some fantastic changes coming including some nice Defy specifics. Cm merge again ;-)

I'll pm u my gtalk or facebook :)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
English is apparently included in MIUI china roms now. Using Marks work from MIUIandroid! Fantastic news.

Not sure if there will still be MIUIandroid language packs still but there may be to update parts :-)

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Ok confirmation. For the time being there are still language packs but in the near future full English will be included in the Chinese rom. In a way i guess the MIUIandroid rom will be the "official" English version.

[Defy Android Development] darktyroll:
FC radio in 1.8.5 like in old versions. Where is that apk from miui.us that is working?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Hopefully if they use Quarx beta 6 sources then both MIUI and CM7 will be a lot easier to hop between as the bootmenu versions will be able to restore eachothers nandroids and install eachothers rom zips!

At the moment switching between is a painful process!

Regarding battery CM7 beta 6 has great battery overnight. Only a couple of percent used. Miui seems good for me too. It's only CM7 beta 5 that had huge battery issues.
