[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
For the first time since it was released i'm keeping this newest version of MIUI as my daily rom. Only agps not working seems to be an issue for me, otherwise great rom, smooth and pretty with the included dark theme applied.

The sms popup is my favourite feature, sms app is also pretty.
[Defy Android Development] re1743:
I only have two issues: The battery life is pretty bad and the SMS app force closes. Any fixes?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Battery life seems fine to me to be honest...

Here is the link for the sms app force close fix!

Replace the new mms.apk into system, either using manual adb, android commander or root explorer with correct permissions :)
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
It is a pretty nice ROM but it is laggy. It lags a lot in settings, the stock launcher looks great but it is choppy. Too bad. I really hoped to be as smooth as CM7.
[Defy Android Development] MisterWB:
YI like so much this rom. I use it everyday since last friday (1.5.27)

On my side battery life is ok, I undervolted with Setvel and overclock to 900mhz as I found ui a little laggy.

Camera is ok (green lense)

I did a quick gps test, seem ok.

I'm using 1% battery step patch.

I tried to put lib, service and apk for fm radio but unsucessfull :(

I made a full wipe data/factory reset before installing rom, and use miui backup tools to restore my settings+app. I think this is the best way to avoid strange behavior like fc !

I'm sure next versions 'll solve radio, agps and so on...

One question: anyone know how to translate miui ? Maybe can I help for the french version.

Uptade:

Regarding my last question I found some answers, google is my friend :)
[Defy Android Development] Jokerchris2000:
I've used the german full release for few days now and i quite like it.

BUT i think that the gps is sometimes very slow in case of getting a fix and the whole sytem feels a bit laggy. Maybe only the launcher but as a main app to use on a smartphone the launcher should be fast and stable.

Therefore im switching back to CM7 and hope that the MIUI tema will add some performance tweaks in future releases.

Good night
[Defy Android Development] re1743:
Battery life fixed: I wiped, reflashed and restored. Then used setvsel to undervolt/overclock it. The ROM is running very smoothly now.

I noticed that the GPS doesn't work well (A-GPS is fine, though).

SMS still FCs. Even with the fix posted on the miuiandroid.com forum.

Stock launcher is fine. LauncherPro runs beautifully, but I like the look of the MIUI launcher.
[Defy Android Development] carlsberg112:
nice rom , but gps .. any fix for that ?
[Defy Android Development] powertony84:
no, Agps don't work.

for sms release a new mms.apk to put in /system/app with adb or rootexplorer at miuiandroid.com.

but I return to cyanogen. is another planet.
[Defy Android Development] cammel:
I can't call numbers with * on miui 1.5.27, I get a force close.

Back to 1.5.21 and the problem is solved...anyone experiencing this problem calling numbers with an *?

Is there any Android-Expert who can help getting FMRadio to work?

I already managed to get the fmradioserver-binary working by copying CM7's libbinder.so into /system/lib.

But the FMRadio-App can't load the radio. Here is the logcat:

As you can see, there is an error:

Maybe this is the problem? But how to fix it?

Hope anyone can help, because I really need FMRadio and MIUI is very great. :)
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
i think its better for the devs if you post this at MIUI Android Forum, anyway thanks for the effort, mate.

Thx will try it soon. I'm currently using galnets version 1.20 have you tried it before? If yes whats the diffrence (speed ,performance )?
[Defy Android Development] MisterWB:
MIUIfr provide a french translate rom for Defy, french version is 1.5.30.

There are still few chinese text, and i found french rom more laggy than 1.5.27

So today I prefer to use 1.5.27, but i'm optimist for future release.

UPDATE !

I made a quick test yesterday evening, without wiping.

Tonigh I've tested again this rom and this time I made a full wipe data/factory reset + wipe dalvik-cache.

Now rom is smooth, and some chinese text disapear :)

Sorry for my previous bad feeling. This rom seems great.

can i follow the install instructions in the main post to install miui ?

is there any thing i should know about ?

thnx :)

This vers needs some improvements in order to be fast and smooth. Any ideas on what we could do, or suggest them to do ?

Hi ephumuris,

Could-you add existing translations on your post number 2 ?

Today, I know 2 translations:

* one from m11kkaa (post 291)

* and other one from my post (295)

Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
How's the performance and battery in the latest build?? Is it worth switching from CM 7 Beta 6??
[Defy Android Development] crazyjosi:
Maybe some could ask galnet or look into his version for the tweaks? I won't update to 1.5.27 or higher versions if it's laggy.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I don't think 1.5.27 is laggy at all but i am overclocked to 1.2ghz. Granted it is not as quick as cm7 but for how it looks it is worth it. :)
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
Galnet has abandoned the project. He doesn't have acces to a Defy anymore.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
To be honest i'd love to see if what he did really made any difference in real world usage or was it just a Placebo effect. I'd like to see cold hard proof :)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Friday 3rd changelog preview.

Looks like a possible fix for settings lag. No mention of Defy specific agps issue but lets hope it gets a fix anyway :)
[Defy Android Development] crazyjosi:
I'm looking forward to this release, but can I update to it when I come from 1.5.20 galnet without losing apps, settings etc.?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Most likely will be fine just create a nandroid first then test by updating.

Should be no issues.

[Defy Android Development] zohan569:
to update from 1.5.20 to 1.5.27, can i just flash or should i wipe then flash?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Just update should be fine but as always nandroid first.
[Defy Android Development] donP73:
Mmm...

It would be good... but I don't hope it anymore (after I had seen latest releases) :(
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Main disappointment so far has been gps and agps very poor.

Also the new change log says they have disabled autofocus on. Defy as its unsupported! Err works for me lol

Help, Ive been using the rom for a week and love it but wanted to see what CM7 was like so i loaded CM7 had a play and decided i preferred MIUI so tried to load it back on.. This is where ive screwed something up all i get now is the red moto screen, i dont get a blue led and it doesnt register with RSDLite. Is there anything I can do or have i completley screwed up?

i'm on chinese rom (odexed) since release (about 12 AM EET) seems stable, settings ui laggs just a tiny bit (lot of improvement), no assisted GPS (it seems) but locks to sattelites preety fast 1,5-2 min.

Hmm, I am on CM7 and I don't know if I will go back to MIUI, but I am really eager to try this. I never managed to go back to MIUI without reflashing with RSD.
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
why? i allways do it:P

wipe data/cache

install miui

reboot

for me it works (1st version didn't but now does)
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
I always ended up on a bootloop and couldn't even get to 2nd init. I just tried it now and it works.

I haven't tried with 1.5.27, only with 1.5.13.

Thanks for the tip !
[Defy Android Development] JackSparrow17:
This really a helpful tip...I'll try next time...Thanks:)
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
If I go ahead and flash the new one now and get in to language settings and hit English, will it be somewhat useable or will the chinese still be overwhelming? Anyone who has it running already test that please?

Otherwise will have to wait till mark posts the Launguage pack.
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
There is still a lot of chinese even if you select English. The language pack is needed.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Language pack is delayed as Mark is in Amsterdam but he said it should be up by "this evening".

Shame the aGPS isn't working still but should be ok...have they really removed autofocus for the Defy?
[Defy Android Development] danielck78:
Auto fucos still works, still no wide screen mode. Menu and settings has improved a lot.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Nice...i wish i understood the problem with aGPS so i could have a look at fixing it :@
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
No, autofocus is still present.

[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
So - just found out that there is a official MIUI in U.S. - it's MIUI.US. Just got the 1.6.3 build in english.

- sms bug fixed. Although, I still can't access all my contacts while in the sms, but at least now I can go into contacts and access everyone and click on sms and it doesn't fc.

-AGPS seems to be working. I had 11 sats in view and using 8 with 15.2 feet accuracy. Took about 10 seconds or so...which is the best I've had in some time.

-Did not wipe, just flashed over .27. So far everything seems to be working. Settings seems to be smoother as well as waking up and sliding lock bar (in .27 it took me a few seconds for the slider to become active), now immediate.

-With camera360, I have wvga camera and put jpeg settings at super high, takes pretty good pics (around 1.2 mb).

-Bluetooth works (couldn't send pics on .27 but now can).
[Defy Android Development] avers:
You're Great!

The US version works well on my Defy and it's already English.

[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
if i come from CM7, with a full wipe, can i just restore this or need to flash nordic sbf?
[Defy Android Development] avers:
You don't need to flash any sbf. The MIUI uses the same bootloader as the CM7.
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
for me theme manager FC after selecting a new theme...is this the case for you?
[Defy Android Development] avers:
I had some problems with themes as well.

I had moved all the theme files from the /sdcard/MIUI/themes/ to a different dir and imported again one by one. It has solved.
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
still FC:(
[Defy Android Development] bioan:
I have no FC when changing themes, but GPS does not work.
[Defy Android Development] avers:
Hm. No FC for me, but cannot load the online themes actually.

There's a lot changes in the theme manager in the 1.6.3, so it's maybe a new bug.

I'll keep trying and refer if I find something.
[Defy Android Development] avers:
Which version you're using?

1.5.27 or 1.6.3 ?

I have no problem with GPS (1.6.3). I tried with GPS test plus, and found 8 sats in 15 seconds.
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
When choosing Themes, the app FC'es, but the theme is downloading anyways and working after it's finished.

GPS isn't working correctly for me, comparing to same position and on CM7. I testet with "GPS Status & Toolbox", no sattelites after 1min, no fix. Got at least 6 sattelites in the same place with other ROMs.

Will test some other things, I like the look of this ROM :>

Lauchner doesn't seem to be 100% smooth, but it's getting better.

Im on the 1.6.3 build in english from avers' link (http://goo.gl/qTSt1)

edit: Installed swype and some apps. Got various FC and had to reboot one time when I was adding/removing a widget. Not quite as stable as I expected. Switching back to CM7 and waiting for next version.
[Defy Android Development] looker_cia:
Im on the 1.6.3 but Gallery and File Explorer give me FC.

I must do Wipe on something in Custom Recovery?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Hmm I'm not sure it is worth upgrading to either version now. Seems a lot of bugs. I assume you all wiped and did a clean install? I just want agps working. I don't have a problem with sms on previous version.

What is the change from first released miui rom for defy until now?I really dont understand defy miui developers what are they doing.Every week I looking and hoping they fixed some bugs, but nothing.So why they release new version of miui.I really like miui theme and visualitions but bugs dont allow to use miui.They should just take quarx last version than modify it.I exhausted every friday flashing new miui rom.But after that, I wont try anymore.

SO, you see the indeed did something. I have to admit, that I don't get why they won't switch to the latest Cyanogen codebase, but the do fix bugs and they do improve the rom a lot.
[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
I am not having any of the bugs reported by users since my post...just to make sure we are all on the same page:

1. Before coming to MIUI, I wiped everything and flashed the nordic sbf.

2. I installed .27 MIUI and the language pack. Used for a week or so.

3. Found MIUI.US and their rom includes language pack. Flashed the 1.6.3 zip without wiping.

My gps/agps works, themes online works (just downloaded another one and applied without any problems), gallery/camera works, bluetooth works, sms works...I haven't come across a bug yet! So...maybe for those that are having issues they might want to follow above steps if they didn't do this.

I'm loving this rom, by far the best IMO! The themes are friggin sexy :)
[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
Have you restarted the phone yet? Try that, if still fc, then wipe cache. If still fc, then wipe davlik.
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:
I'm running the US Miui you guys posted and it's working great, the only FC is with the themes, but it still applies them. SMS is working normal again and the speed is pretty nice. I am happy with it, wonder if there is any real difference between this and the one posted in Chinese waiting on the English pick
[Defy Android Development] jjp84:

[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
From what I understand, the official MIUI is the following:

http://en.miui.com/

There are other sites that official recognizes as partners or fan clubs (per the official miui's website...such as miuiandroid.com and miui.us - as well as many other sites for other countries (links can be found on official miui). The official MIUI website states that the fan club sites are not official as the MIUI official team has not reviewed/tested the other sites rom ports...from what I understand, the fan club (non-official) sites just take the official rom and ports for more phones than what the official supports as official only supports a few phones (e.g. so our lovely defy wouldn't have a port without unofficial sites like miuiandroid.com and the others).

How to use Swype keyboard with MIUI 1.6.3? I am unable to disable Swype to generate license. Help!!
[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
Ephumuris - have you tried gps fix from the market? My first run with 1.6.3 on gps/agps worked great like you but for some weird reason has since gone haywire, so I used gps fix and within 5 seconds I'm back to where I was on first run (11 sats, 6-8 used, 15 feet accuracy). Also - in gps test program, I updated the agps files.

Oh, and I was having a problem with music player crashing and freezing the phone after 10-20 minutes of use (was noted by other users as well). I think I solved that one too...I had setvsel to limit to vsel 1 upon screen timout. I disabled that when I was using music player and that did the trick for me, no more freezing up.

On a side note, wish I had realized the vsel thing before my run today...was in the groove with my stride just as the phone froze, couldn't get the groove back for a few more miles as i stopped to pull the battery and restart which is when i figured to disable the vsel option (I obviously suck at running, my stride is a major WIP):D
