aGPS Fix for 1.6.17!

Please test and report back not had chance to update yet.

[Defy Android Development] JackSparrow17:
Where is the new lock-screen?:)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Apparently you download them...

GPS Not working properly...

Its working... And I love this Rom... I think I'll stick with this ROM for sumtime now...
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
I've not had chance to try the aGPS fix yet.

However, for some reason, my phone thinks it is currently 5.14am here. Just 12 hours wrong!

I've got the time settings correct yet it won't adjust them. A bug, I assume?
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
i was waiting for this...:) maybe you can make public the changes you made and somebody contact the miui team to add them in the next release
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Untick auto time. Select correct time zone. Retick auto time. I think its to do with the timezone setting in build.prop il have a look at the included English one and see if they can fix it.

Already in process of contacting and passing it on. :-)

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
Tried this, but it didn't work, unfortunately. The same process did work with 1.6.10, oddly enough.

I've resolved the problem by unchecking auto time, changing the time manually (to PM from AM), then rechecking auto time.

This seems to have worked for me for now though my PC is showing a different time to the phone. Just a minute's difference, however.

I'd have thought that they ought to both be the same, using NTP servers? Strange.

I have got an irritating problem, however. When my phone rings, it often takes several seconds of ringing before the screen switches on. Then, when I slide down to unlock, the call isn't answered - I have to slide down the notification bar to access and unlock the call! What the heck is all that about!?!

I'll be trying the aGPS shortly when I pick up my girlfriend (I've already applied your fix) and will report back whether or not it is working correctly a little later.
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
I've just used GPS (CoPilot) in a short journey and I'm not sure everything is functioning quite correctly.

The quick first fix from CoPilot put me a couple of hundred yards away from my actual starting location. I exited CoPilot, checked I had wireless networks allowed for location and the fix when I restarted CoPilot was accurate.

All was running well but the phone spontaneously rebooted half-way through the journey. After that it worked OK.

Not sure whether this problem was something to do with MIUI or not - I rarely use satnav (only when I'm heading away somewhere) but haven't encountered a reboot before. Even on my old San Francisco! ;)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I think i also had that problem too with a call but it doesn't happen all the time! Finally got to testing agps too and it seems to work great again. :)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Hmm strange that you got a reboot using gps. I regularly use mytracks and haven't had this issue.

Reminds me of the Blade/San Fran that's why i moved away from it. Saved me tons of time doing themes for three roms too lol.
[Defy Android Development] javi422:
thank you for the GPS fix worked like a charm both on 1.6.17 and 1.6.10.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
No problem I like to think I contribute on a small way.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] TweetyPeety:
Thanks for the fix

QUESTION is it save to update to the new Bootmenu 0.8.6 on your first page, isn't it said that CM7 and MIUI work only with earlier versions, not with the newest one ???
[Defy Android Development] Jean-DrEaD:
Yes... i don't why, but 2nd init 1.4 is only work... After flash new miui in 0.6.1 you flash the bootmenu patch to 0.8.6 work :)

sorry about poor engrish :p
[Defy Android Development] TweetyPeety:
thanks for this info, but then whats the advantage of being on 0.8.6 because I am not sure but doesn't need flashing on CM7 also 0.6.1 ??? so it would case problems when flashing on CM7?

all other roms would be fine with 0.8.6 I think!

thanks in advance
[Defy Android Development] dieandromeda:
new lockscreen look gorgeous!
[Defy Android Development] cile381:
The GPS works great, but Ndrive or IGO restart the phone! The same happens with previous versions of rom...
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
BootMenu 0.8.6 offers overclock/undervolt settings like those provided by SetVsel. Quite handy.
[Defy Android Development] killmastern3:
Is there any way to get 1% step battery in MIUI?? Mine is in 10%..
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah flash the fix from cm7 thread.

The vibration on keyboard,dont work.
[Defy Android Development] dieandromeda:
i hope u can put the link in 1st post.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
You are right it doesn't. It works in other keyboards though.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] iaio72:
yed i downloaded gb keyboard from market and works fine!
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
Screen sensitivity goes right into the crapper for me when the phone is charging. It is very difficult to send texts or use the interface in this case. Not too much of a problem as it is easy to unplug the phone, but something worth noting.
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
flash this http://www.multiupload.com/CD4WX9HVCW
[Defy Android Development] dieandromeda:
thanks.. ;)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Updated first post.

New language pack. Download here

Updated second post fixes. Added battery percent single steps.

Download battery steps fix here. Thanks for the link fabianowerner.

To apply fix install zip from recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache and battery stats. (Recovery, advanced.)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
1.6.17 Volume Control Mod Allows you to long press volume keys to skip music tracks when screen is off, short press still controls volume. Thanks Andy Thomson
[Defy Android Development] paijho158:
theres bug in miui.. which i found

-lag when accessing app drawer on another launcher.

-keyboard doesnt vibrate although i set it enabled.

-when i make a phone call it always said not connected..

im in indonesia btw.. anyone can help me?

otherwise... this is great rom anyway.
[Defy Android Development] dieandromeda:
installed but not working. when i'm clearing the battery stat, nothing shows to indicate it already cleared.
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
no need to clearing batt stats, its supposed to be only for battery calibration purposes. all you have to do is install the patch as mentioned early, wipe cache and dalvik, go to battery settings and change GRAPHICAL to PERCENTAGE.
[Defy Android Development] alaageria:
how do you change the laungauge??????
[Defy Android Development] alaageria:
changed the launguage but still have chinese text

cleared the dalvik cache and same its the same thing

what should i do?
[Defy Android Development] hashim17:
Unable to install MTP USB driver

I've just installed MIUI 1.6.17 on my Motorola Defy. The installation was ok but now my phone will not install MTP USB driver when it's connected to my pc via sync cable. Is there a workaround on this? I cannot connect to my phone via Phone Tools or WMP sync because on this.
[Defy Android Development] ashburn:
Guys im new with Defy. Do i need Nordic Froyo rom to actually install this?
[Defy Android Development] TweetyPeety:
You need any Froyo 2.2. Nordic, France, German Version, doesn't matter. I am from Germany but for me the France one works everytime.

If somebody ist interested in a German Version with a lot of fixes and some extras here is my Custom Rom of MIUI 1.6.17. It should be in Englisch too, because the Language Pack is always German/English.

If you want you can flash it over an existing Version because "cache" and "Dalvik cache" are wiped during the installation

MIUI Defy 1.6.17 Custom Rom German Edition *also Englisch included*

have fun
[Defy Android Development] ashburn:
Thank you. It works now =DD
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
installed this on my 2.2 uk froyo de blur.. working fine... small issue when i hold the home button for the torch light the light will flash one time then nothing... is there a fix??
[Defy Android Development] losdrivare:
Itching to try this, only one question:

There was reports in the miui.us thread about problems to send SMS with .10 and .17 MIUI for Defy. Can someone confirm that it works to send SMS with this version?
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
Im using the .17 and sms works fine..
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Try few more times and it works for me. I am on .17 version.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah strange bug. Slide lockscreen slider down slightly let go then press home. Works for me.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
seems like doing a reboot solves my problem with the torch light... is there anyway that i can switch my wallpaper to no scrolling??

[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
I've got everything working like a charm right now, however, I'm just curious - what kind of fixes (aside from fixes in OP) and extras...would you mind listing so those of us that are flash happy can see what we'd be getting?
[Defy Android Development] pjgowtham:
i was using cm7 and i wanna give miui a try.....it s just amazing and the interface itself tells how brainy u pepple are

NOW i m a follower of miui
[Defy Android Development] TweetyPeety:
I have to say it is specially made for Germany so most of the fixes and hacks are add to be perfect for that, but can be changed easily.

GPS Satellites are set to de.pool

GPS Fix here from Topic ( thx to ephumuris also mentioned in the credits )

GPS location.cfg from the official German Froyo 2.2

changed host file to have Adfree

Battery Step fix so it shows 1%

Juves Ram Mod to have mor RAM ( its really nice )

Baseband changed to the best German one, but can easily be changed with Basebandswitcher which is included

Swype Keyboard Support, added it to system/lib

Extra Apps like Basebandswitcher, SetVsel, Google Maps, Fancy Widgets + 5 Styles,

New and Extra Wallpaper, Lockscreens, Sound Files

New Icons from my Theme which is based on Project Vexillum so around 500 Icons that match in the default theme to the MIUI style

Finally it can be installed over an existing Version because it wipes automatically cache and dalvik cache

If somebody wants to use it for change its no problem. I try to provide it every week around Saturday/Sunday and it would be easy to change it to fit perfect for Englisch. The only thinks that have to be changed is

GPS set to eu.pool or I don't know which one, but can be also set easily in MIUI through Settings

Baseband switch to something what fits more for you guys

Lockscreens replace with the English Versions, because the ones are German

and thats it, if the locaction.cfg should be changed I don't know, there isn't such a big difference.
[Defy Android Development] lanfearxt:
the built-in firewall doesnt work...which is why ;)

I use this to get more languages (in my case dutch).

Its an Miui SGS patch but it works for defy.
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
This ROM is very nice, but i've got some problems:

When MIUI starts up, I hear the camera noise. ( is it normal ? )

Softkeys ( touchkeys? how shall i call them? ) don't bright anymore after the lockscreen opens ( to make them turn on, i've to increase illumination or connect phone to pc via usb ).

Some apps don't start.

Am I the only one having this bugs ( if i may call them so )?
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
how did you installed it? im using this rom no probs as of now... some FC's on operamini nothing else..
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
I've installed it over a froyo nordic sbf ( 3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC ).

I followed the normal procedure: rooted my phone, installed SndInit Defy, wiped data+cache+dalvik, installed zip from sdcard ( miui + language pack ).

The softkeys problem appeared only some days ago, the other 2 are occuring since i've installed the rom.
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
what version of SndInit did you installed? you should use 1.4.2... mine's doing good... i don't know if theres a diff but my order of wiping is dalvik+data+cache... installed it on uk froyo de blur.. everything's still good as of now... try wiping the cache again..
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
@all..

how long does your battery last??
[Defy Android Development] lmmfs:
What languages ​​are included?
[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
I'm lost...I had a minor issue and wiped cache to see if it would fix it. Nothing, and now, my themes fc's on me. I went back in and wiped davlik, didn't help. Here's what's great...I've been trying to get the themes back up and now have 3 different themes combined together to make one crazy looking setup!

Oi vey, I love this rom but boy is it the most finicky one I've ever used. It's like a woman, you love her but she'll make you work for it :D
[Defy Android Development] 57op:
I've got 1.4.2 too ;)

However, softkeys are now working fine.

The only thing i can't absolutely stand is the camera noise on start up :\!
[Defy Android Development] killmastern3:
Lol.. I like the way you put it. :)
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Around 20 hours. Whit the same OC settings I got 30+ hours in liquidarc and similar ROMS. Thats with everything enabled and auto-brightness (300/20 | 600/32 | 1100/60 @setVsel).

I think its quite low. The main offenders I think are:

-the fact that auto-sync has no nightime saving mode,

-that by default wifi goes to sleep when you lock the screen (leaves 3g on, which drains more power)

-I think phonecalls drain too much power in this rom.

I still prefer this rom. I think I will try to remember to disable sync at night, and disable auto-sleep and see how it goes.
[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
I get around 40-48 hours (a little less when I'm messing with it as the screen will be on for an hour straight at times).

Using 2ndinit for OC/UV - 1100/62, 1000/58, 700/46, 300/28. It's ok, not near what I was getting on LiquidArc (once got 96 hours with moderate use)...miss that for sure but for me it's worth the sacrifice.

EDIT: Yeah...I guess I should mention I keep data off unless needed. Most of the time I can access wifi.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I get 20 hours tops. Although the most i have ever gotten out of an android phone is around 24.

That includes HTC Tattoo, HTC Desire, ZTE Blade and Moto Defy. I guess i'm a heavy user :D

I turn off data when not using it too. Only use it on 3g though.
[Defy Android Development] michka:
Ehm yea whas to lazy tot look it up

but alot like:

Dutch

Hebrew

Russian

Polish

Danish

Slovanian

Croatian

Spanish

French

Portugese

Romanian

And alot more languages i cant name in english. But a try wont harm.
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Another question... do any of you think this rom charges the battery slowly on AC Adapter? its slow as the USB cable for me, in every MIUI I've tested.
[Defy Android Development] androidtester80:
Although in the menu appear all languages, not all are actually translated. I've tried Romanian and is just the English version from the Chinese ROM, that is the menus are part in English part in Chinese. Can you please post a link from where you got that package to clear the things out.
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
I've finally installed MIUI after few months of using CM7. It toked me a while to get used with the MIUI menu/interface, but I can not accommodate with the MIUI launcher (I simply don't like the fact it's dropping all installed apps on the screen). It is indeed eye candy and haves some goodies that where not in CM7 but in the same time it is missing some functionality present in the last one. I'll stick to this version for a while but I guess I'll return to CM7 soon.

Does anyone know if it's possible to choose between ring (sound+vib/sound/vib/silent) and network (2G/3G/Auto) modes on MIUI? I've go trough all menus for few times but without any luck.

@androidtester80 Do you really what to use it in Romanian? If it's so then you can contact the guys from miuiandroid.com and get involved in the translation process. I simply can't stand an app/OS that it's translated into Romanian (I find it hard to use).
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Some great fixes and changes this week guys. Such as flashlight on lockscreen! Finally :-) So here's tomorrow changelog preview...

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Looks like they finally fixed agps for our defy. Won't know for definite until I can take a look at framework.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] andemort:
They would definetly if they use the newest sorces of Quarx. Why don't they do so?)))
[Defy Android Development] abhi.eternal:
When will MIUI fix the damn FM radio app!!! What is holding them when the hardware and CM7 supports it?
[Defy Android Development] andemort:
As i understood their politics is to port from Cyanogen just once. They used Quarx sources before and don't wanna do it again. May be because of difficults of this proces. But it is just my guess.

I really hope that the fact they fixed GPS somehow connected with Qurx sources))))
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
They have already damn well said its coming in July. They want it to be supported across other devices too at the same time. Who really uses fm radio anyway? Internet radio is the future :-)

@andemort I think its more to do with it being fixed for milestone too. Same fix as for ours more or less. I think that dev helped for defy too.

Unfortunatly are the MIUI Sources old.

1% battery step still not working. should i flashed new sbf. i remember the last sbf i flashed is korean froyo.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Still not working on which version? SBF shouldn't matter as the modification for 1% steps only changes one file. You have to flash the fix from cyanogenmod thread.
[Defy Android Development] dieandromeda:
already done that. twice.. i'm using 1.6.17
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
When i did it i flashed zip, wiped cache, dalvik and battery stats...did you do this? Then go to miui battery settings and choose percentage?

@androidtester80 you are brilliant my man! You can use private messages for further "brilliant" replies.

@ephumuris any news on the weekly update?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
First post updated to 1.6.24 release today testing it myself now after upgrade install :D
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
ephumuris I'll wait for your feedback. Hope it works without data wipe like CM7 nightly builds.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Hmm first impressions are aGPS is not fixed...will decompile and take a look. Fix coming if required. :)

EDIT: I've installed with no data wipe.

Install rom update zip.

Install language pack.

Boot.

Reboot to recovery.

Install Battery percentage fix.

Wipe cache, dalvik and battery stats.

Job done.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Really annoyed it seems they tried to add agps support...correct files in framework but changed the services.jar... doesn't seem right to me. GPS taking ages to fix...looking into it.
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
Great news I'll download the latest version and will give it a try. Thanks for your quick reply!
[Defy Android Development] je198ß:
I installed CM7 RC1 (today released).

Then I installed miui 6.24 (with wiping...).

Installation of miui works, but when I install englisch Language (CWM) Pack or Baseband Switcher nothing changes. Still chinese and no Baseband Switcher.

Maybe RC1 changes something with the CWM, that I cannot install any further Zip-File !?

Any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Can some people download 1.6.24 and report their findings on gps? After my editing i still didn't get a fix for about 20 seconds and it wasnt as good as previous versions with fix.
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
@je198ß after you'll install MIUI and reboot the CWM will be automatically downgraded. MIUI has version 2.x. If you came from CM7 it's strongly recommended to do a wipe before installing MIUI, then install MIUI and let it boot once. Only after that you should install the language pack. Follow the steps from OP.

PS: I guess if the updater-script in CWM3/4 from one zip unmounts the system partition it won't be properly mounted by the second zip's script. The solution for this is to comment the umount line in the script or to reboot in custom recovery and apply the 2nd zip. Don't take this for granted ... this is what I've noticed.

EDIT: @ephumuris I don't have enough battery left to upgrade, but I'll revert asap.
[Defy Android Development] iisniperzzz:
Can I install 1.6.24 over 1.6.17 without data wipe and just cache and delvik?
[Defy Android Development] JackSparrow17:
Yes you can....:)
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
I've just installed the latest version. aGPS seems to be working for me but I'm not sure if it's using the cached data. It's a bit late to go out and test it right now, but I'll do it tomorrow.

PS: I see the bootmenu was upgraded.

Questions

On the Chinese page there is a 8MB update from 1.6.17 to 1.6.24

miuiandroid.com insists on making two zip packages and they are not even translated right (the folder on the main screen is always in Chinese). More, on this version after flashing the English Package, the File Explorer is missing.
[Defy Android Development] r3flux:
No English?

I've installed 1.6.24 and the English Pack. After installing the language Pack, the boot animation is now in English but everything else is in Chinese still? Even after wiping Cache and Dalvik. What gives?
[Defy Android Development] dieandromeda:
don't forget to change language in the setting.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
First post updated, new language pack. Fixes some launcher force close, brings back file explorer. Also fixes some Chinese in phone.

Urgh hangover....

[Defy Android Development] lanfearxt:
is it me or is it that this ROM is not so stable in terms of getting a reception? any idea if can incorporate a baseband switcher like CM7? i was on 1.6.10 and had no reception problem, but now on 1.6.24, seems like it's more difficult
