1.7.8 is latest weekly development version. 2.3.4a is stable version based on an older dev version. That is all.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
Is there any difference in the MiUi available at www.miui.us and other at miuiandroid.com ??

The only thing is miuiandroid.com gives language pack...where as its integrated in miui.us version...any other difference..??
[Defy Android Development] iisniperzzz:
So I just flashed nordic now I'm on miui 1.7.8. I'm made a nandroid backup before I flashed. Is it safe to restore just the data from the nandroid backup?
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Hi, I've been having problems with the following games just crashing back to launcher since 1.7.1:

-Plants vs Zombies

-Tetris

-Age of Zombies (just hangs)

-Samurai II: Vengeance.

any ideas? have any of you guys had any luck with them?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I know plants vs zombies works for me!

[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
Does anyone know how to keep agps from automatically turning on wifi and data when a gps program is in use (program I am using is runkeeper)?

I don't have an unlimited data plan and after a couple weeks of not realizing the data was turned automatically on it wiped my plan out...not too pleased about that one! Plus it turns on wifi and drains battery quicker. I've manually turned data/wifi off but being that runkeeper is actively using gps, the rom immediately switches wifi/data back on for agps.

oh - and swype function isn't working anymore either...the keyboard is there and I can single press letters but the swype function isn't working...anyone with similar issues?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
For the agps turning on wifi, look at location settings there are 3 options. One is for what you want to turn off. Might be the third one down. :)

It annoyed me to so i turned it off.
[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
That was it...thanks Euph! I guess the downside is that agps won't work without that...it's taking me several minutes to get a few sats locked in. Is this what you are experiencing too or are you locking in quickly?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
No agps still uses mobile data. I get a fix in 6 seconds or less. As long as you only disable that one option.

To test switch off gps and open maps...does it show your rough location? Could be a couple of miles away but still that means agps is working.
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
I wiped and it worked. Tried installing everything step by step and it turns out that having amazon appstore installed prevented those games from running.

So everything is fine now :)

thanks for letting me know that it wasnt MIUIs fault.
[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
ok, looks like it's working...thanks again!

Anyone having issues with swype I mentioned earlier (swype keyboard is working but the actual swype function isn't)?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I'm guessing you have not downloaded the app from amazon and have obtained it through "other" channels.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Yes with PvZ, but I got Samurai II when it was free on the amazon appstore and still would not work.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Swype isn't supported by miui yet.. But follow the instructions given in the link below in one of the posts to get it working..

[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Lots of changes this week. Also news in the form of the Xiaomi M1 official MIUI phone!

Defy support for 1% battery increments, improved launcher, new lockscreen, new widgets and a new default theme! They all look fantastic.

Release may be a little later on Friday if there are a lot of new translations for Mark to do.

P.s. MIUI Phone...
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Full changelog for tonight release guys. Updated Fm radio again.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
Looks promising. I'll definitely give it a try. I hope this weekly update will be without surprises (language pack bug). I'd rather wait for one hour or two ... let's hope the guys from miuiandroid will not rush the launch process.

PS: ephumuris are you still testing MIUI or you have already returned to "old love" CM7?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
To be totally honest i'm using CM7 day to day. But a couple of days of the week i use MIUI just to test releases. I prefer the looks of MIUI but it's just a shame to be behind CM7 in relation to say the camera fixes etc. :)

Also i hope they don't rush and make mistakes with language packs! MIUIandroid the original English translators for MIUI the first and the best. :)
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
miui 1.7.15 (chinese) uploaded to mediafire http://www.mediafire.com/?l94dzrf9n8rp3g9
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
I agree with you. The MIUI theme support it's far better than CM7 and the first is a bit more polished. I'm somehow confident that in the future the theming support will improve on CM7 too. Now regarding the bug fixes, I somehow understand that MIUI devs are focusing on more devices and they are a bit behind, but let's agree that for CM7, at least here on xda, all devs (those few great guys who are actively involved) are focused on only one device (the Defy).

However I'm glad we have some smart guys which managed to overcome the Defy limitations (e.g. locked bootloader) and to bring us such great ROM's like CM7 and MIUI.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
The thing is CM7 is so hugely supported and so organised now as it has been running for a while. The MIUI guys are still relatively new. MIUIandroid support around 20 devices now and growing, what they have achieved so far is amazing and will continue to grow.

We just need to be patient, i can't wait to test new home, widgets and lockscreen etc but i will wait for English language pack first from Mark and co.
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
i just can't find the new keyboard:( i was looking forward to that:(
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
That's very strange? Looks like the new fm radio is coming later today maybe not part of the pack.
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
how do you know? i already have that version:-??
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Oh maybe its included. Fm 2.0?

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
i think so, i have the option to go to a specific freq
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
deodex and english available (i can't download the language pack though <same happened last week, but eventually worked>)

...now downloadable:)
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
First post updated with 1.7.15 release links. Battery percentage fix should be included now. Will flash and test right now :D
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Looks like Google apps were removed :) Will add link to them in first post!
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
the new keyboard still missing:(

...and if the home becomes a little bit more fluid (like on galaxy s) it will be just perfect
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
I've installed the latest update and noticed they've messed up the screen brightness while booting. Same applies to bootmenu/cwm. The screen is quite dark and my guess is that they've selected the lowest brightness level. Also the FM radio it's not working (FC). I guess will have to wait for an updated language pack or for the miui.us radio app.

EDIT: also the 1% battery steps patch was not included.
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
the brightness (i think) is also changed on cm7 (they only merged)
[Defy Android Development] axionman:
MIUI.US rom released.

it includes the battery percentage fix, but i still have FC with radio.
[Defy Android Development] t830mc:
Multitouch detects 5 points only (Not that I need more...) :D
[Defy Android Development] Remington78:
Hmm does not deal with the camera to shoot with any other mode though. Any fix for this yet guys??
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Keyboard still doesn't vibrate either. Oh dear tut tut. Looks like Google apps still are there after booting, flashlight lockscreen bug still present.

No real bug fixes for us Defy guys.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] lanfearxt:
so, is this worth flashing? i'm still at 1.7.1, but with all these issues, doesnt seem worth it, or is it?
[Defy Android Development] axionman:
anybody got a solution for the radio ?

thx
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
I think there is something wrong with the FM.apk translation because the Chinese one works (I've manually replaced the app with the one from deodexed zip).

I see the miui.us have published their MIUI version, so I've extracted the FM.apk from miui.us release (same as last week) and created an update.zip. Download it and install it through CWM. Seems the miui.us guys are paying more attention when releasing those updates.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Ok so I am actually impressed by how much the launcher has increased in speed. I don't ever use Fm radio so that doesn't bother me at all. I use HTC keyboard so don't mind the lack of vibrate as it works on HTC's.

Also I installed cm7 camera app. Video recording works well but wide recording force closes, otherwise great.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] kevev:
Same here. Much faster and keyboard input is smoother. I also noticed my phone not heating up when asleep. So I hope battery drain is slower too, but time will tell. The lock slider action area seems bigger or maybe just more responsive. I can now unlock in one swipe. :D

One gripe, the lock screen number is too transparent, and I can hardly tell where the keys are. Maybe I should change the wallpaper. :)
[Defy Android Development] jimmyme:
just loaded up new .15

MIUI is GREAT!!!! really impressed!!!
[Defy Android Development] iisniperzzz:
Hay guys I downloaded the uk version if miui and I want to go to the us version because of the miui us app. How do I install the us version
[Defy Android Development] WolVish:
Gmail FC s all the time. I flashed the gapps, uninstalled and re-installed Gmail twice, tried clearing up the data and re-synced again, no luck.. It FCs once in a while even if I didn't open it at all.. It's really annoying.. :(

P.S. - My install is no data wipe install..

Maybe MIUI people want to drive Google out of the way in Android phones.. :D
[Defy Android Development] WolVish:
Hurray.. Found a way to install Swype....

First, uninstall everything swype, the keyboard and the installer.

Reboot phone into recovery, wipe cache (just making sure it is all gone)

Download swype installer on phone

Install swype (I have used the smaller eng/span but either should work)

Swype will not be able to register because you can't disable swype

Take an MIUI backup of Swype keyboard (not the installer) just in case

uninstall swype (just the installer)

Reboot phone

Verify the android keyboard is selected in settings (make sure there is orange dot next to it, select it if there isn't)

Run Swype Installer again

Now it should say "Your swype is installed, licensed and ready to use" and it'll ask to enable swype..

Enable Swype.. Enjoy.....

P.S. - I also had Swiftkey Beta in my phone and I selected that as default...
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
I've already provided a method to install swype a few pages back.. That's easier.. No reboot required..
[Defy Android Development] kevev:
Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I got gmail issue on clean install too. Remove and install from markets fine. Google apps shouldn't need flashing I think they are actually included.

[Defy Android Development] bartekopa:
Hey, i have question. Is path fixed progress bar in PowerAMP?
[Defy Android Development] WolVish:
Oh ok.. Never knew that.. Then why isn't it updated in the first page?. :)

@ ephumuris: Please fix the link in the working swype linky in the first page.. :)
[Defy Android Development] WolVish:
No luck still.. ephumuris is having the same issues it seems..

What is the difference between miuiandroid's ROMS (miui original and translation pack) and miui.us's ROMs.. The latter doesn't even have a separate translation pack it seems..
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
I assume miui.us are including the translated apps directly into the original deodexed release and rebuild it. Last night I've installed for the 1st time the miui.us ROM and it's working flawlessly. No market/gmail issues, the FM.apk it's properly translated and it's working. The new launcher looks nice but i still miss the old appdrawer, for which I've found a third party app, but i couldn't find a way to disable the process that adds the newly installed apps on the desktop.

PS: I'm a bit disappointed by the latest miuiandroid.com releases. I don't know why they rush the release process. It's not like I don't appreciate their efforts, but this way they are forcing more and more people to move to other builds. I guess everyone can be patient enough and can wait a little longer for a fully working release.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
MIUIandroid have had a few hiccups lately. But they are the fastest and original English translators of miui. They work fast and work hard, they always deliver fixes of asked. They have been really good with me so I stick by them.

For gmail uninstall then install from market works.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] androidtester80:
Can you please ask them to submit their translation to miui.com. Even if the official RC is based on an older version, it isn't entirely translated in English.

As for the roms, in my oppinion the best is ROM MIUIEs Motorola DEFY - v.1.7.8.1 beta includind OTA updates.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Ephumuris, bro.. Why'd they take off the power saving feature?? It's draining more battery than usual now.. :(

And have you tried Wajk's WIUI??
[Defy Android Development] tiagoclc:
Slow WiFi...
[Defy Android Development] totti123456:
do you have 1% step in battery percentage? mine is still at 10% but i thought i saw in changelog that this was going to be fixed. i am running 1.7.15.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
They seem to have forgotten the file doh! Hopefully next week. Otherwise this weeks release is pretty nice minus the stupid Fm radio :-)

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
What about camera's recording performance. Still choppy? In MIUI I see a lot of potential... on GUI side, much more then in CM7... but those stupid, immature bugs prevent me from flashing it on my phone again.

perhaps like seen in Regina...

taht would be very nice nice...:D

everything is on the screen, like an Iphone.
[Defy Android Development] WolVish:
Guys I have a small doubt. I am on the stable version of MIUI, 2.3.4a, if I want to change to the beta version, can I just flash the MIUI.zip and language pack, without losing data? Or should I start from scratch..?
[Defy Android Development] NITRO_100:
I think you could do that without loosing data.

I have several bugs, my defy often restarts during calls, it takes 10 min to boot and today I'm not able to connect to my wifi network !?! Is there some workaround ? Can someone help ? Especially with the wifi issue ?
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
You can do so without any problems.. I've been doing that without any problems so far.. Only if you're changing roms do you usually need to do a full wipe..
[Defy Android Development] confusedfella:
I really want to try miui. Would really appreciate the help.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Just follow the instructions on the first post.. It's enough.. Or follow the installation faq in the cm7 forum, just substitute the zip with the miui one.. That's all.. But make sure you follow it to the letter.. After that if you still have doubts, I'll be happy to help.. :)
[Defy Android Development] blackon:
i went from 1.7.1 to stable 2.3.4a and had to full wipe alse nothing works. never tried going back to betas yet though.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Yeah, never downgrade.. The stable version is based on 1.6.. Upgrade shouldn't be a problem..
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Flashed 1.7.22, and FM still FCs...

:/
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
use FM radio apk from miui.us it works fine
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Updated first post with links to new 1.7.22 rom and language pack.

Same bugs as usual for me.

No vibrate on stock keyboard.

Flashlight on lockscreen requires you slide in opposite direction before holding home button.

No battery percentage single steps.

FM Radio force closes.

The only thing i notice fixed is can now select different scenes for shooting pictures. It's a big shame...back to CM7 now :P
[Defy Android Development] Remington78:
@ephumuris - Dude I can confirm that this is a much stable version, camera scene modes have been added alright and the video recording quality has been increase. I was never a big fan of the stock keyboard so I use ultrakeyboard and it works perfectly well, (vibration and swype). FM radio works well no FCs for me. Games and stuff are working perfectly well too. The Flash light issue still remains but you can use the slider either way up or down to make it work (that's not that big an issue). I dunno about CM7 as it seems to be taking ages to work. At least MIUI are producing some quality work and what an eye candy too :)
[Defy Android Development] abhi.eternal:
I just cannot get the FM working!! I am using the latest version. I have used the FM from MIUI.US but no luck. Can I install the MIUI.US ROM over MIUIANDROID ROM without wiping data? Also, I have put all my apps inside one folder to make it like a drawer but it scrolls very slowly. Any fixes?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I am by no means disrespecting the work MIUI do, the non translated fm radio apk works fine too. That is something the MIUIandroid guys are getting wrong.

The video recording also is verrrry much improved i did a test video. I only went back to CM7 as i am already set up on it.

I love how MIUI looks and it's much smoother these days also the refreshed launcher is fantastic. Maybe when i have spare time i will swap back to MIUI full time.

I also don't use stock keyboard! :)
[Defy Android Development] kranti2064:
Dunno if this is a bug.. I sometimes get notifications that one of the games or applications is trying to receive sms's.. If i allow, these are just normal text sms's... If I deny this, the sms's are not delivered to me and my friends get a delivery failed report...

Is there an issue with the text messaging app or the rights management in Defy in MIUI? CM7 has never given me such notifications...
[Defy Android Development] confusedfella:
The english pack download link seems to be down.

one of my friends installed the MIUI rom on his defy but when he installed somthing named RTL FIX his defy stocked on Motorola logo and it dosn't start anymore. He thinks that he installed a wrong version of that file(rtl fix) and he tried to flash some other roms with RSD Lite but seems like it dosn't work! please help us. thanks a lot!
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
What the hell is the RTL fix? Remove battery, reinsert and hold volume up. RSD should recognise the device. You need to flash a stock sbf and start from scratch.

Looks like in updated language pack the FM radio is finally fixed. Still a few bugs but i have returned to this rom full time now.

Any Fix for GPS?
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
GPS works fine..
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Ephumuris, have you ever tried undervolting on these miui roms?? Cuz everytime i try it,nothing connected with the miui interface works (as in all the menus).. They just close (reset/restart) and reopen the entire app again.. Why does this happen? Undervolting shouldn't affect them, should it? Doesn't do this in CM7 or even the stock roms..

Example: Launcher pro works fine but as soon as i go to the preferences page, it restarts.. No FC, nothing.. It'll just disappear and restart..

I mean, my values ain't even close to the threshold.. I'm using:

300@26

600@36

1000@52

On CM7 i use:

300@20

600@34

1000@48!
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I don't really undervolt at all. Looking at my values they are much higher than yours. Sorry I can't really help.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Could you please temporarily try it out once and let me know what happens? I just wanna know if this is happening to just me or its a property of miui.. Setting the vsels back to normal brings miui back to normal, so its not harmful in anyway.. It's just a 5 minute test.. You'll immediately notice if it conks off.. :P Nothing will wanna stay open for long.. Then just go back to your old vsels and it'll be normal again.. I.e., if it happens at all..
[Defy Android Development] Maringer:
I can confirm that MIUI was a little bit flaky when using the Vsel settings I carried over from CM7.

After bumping up the values (around 4 points each, IIRC), I've not had any problems with stability in MIUI. Not sure of the reason for this difference but I doubt it will affect battery life too much.
