OOOH MY GOD!

AT THE FIRST TIME I WAS SCEPTICAL ABOUT THIS ROM

NOW I'M IN LOVE with this ROM..

it just like a brand new phone!!

but what's bugging me is:

-a bit laggy on transition and scrolling

-aGPS is not present yet

-camera shift

else, just eye candy and impressive.

by the way, it just stupid question, where's the app drawer..? :)

i wish there is dual boot: CM7 and MiUi.. :)
[Defy Android Development] gsk_lnl:
Today I installed MIUI ROM, everything seems to be working correctly except FM radio. Thanks a lot to the people who helped me. I wish there would have been Hindi read support too.

Great ROM.
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
Recorded video is also choppy... Are yours the same? Otherwise, it's a great ROM, by far the best in terms of usability and look'n'feel.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Video is choppy cos it still is in quarx cm7. The only downside to miui is it will always be behind cm7 fixes wise as its based on cm7.

There is NO app drawer...its iphone like thats the point...organise all your apps into 1 folder if you want to create a sort of app drawer.

For camera shift set it to 5mp and at least the pics dont shift...just no wide option yet.

FM Radio is not a priority to these guys so dont expect to see it til around July unless we can fix ourselves.

Very nice theme!!! Thanks!!!!

No camera shift for me with Camera 360 Lite. Can anyone else verify?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Only tested on stock cam app.
[Defy Android Development] :
will the new release include the graphic fix we can find on the first post?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Almost definitely.
[Defy Android Development] RichmondPSH:
Nice rom :)
[Defy Android Development] powertony84:
Yes, widescreen photo fine. Camera 360 with hardware conpatibility mode on
[Defy Android Development] javi422:
I really do like the Rom just credit needs to be giving and miui devs need to get off there lazzy a and work as well not wait for quarx but I do love the Rom just very appealing while being android :)

And yes hopefully tomorrow we get update with many fixes based in latest git from quarx xD

Looks like my wifi isn't working as it's suppose to...can't connect sometimes and sometimes shows low signal even though I'm right next to the router....

Anyone with same wifi kind of issue?

Remember this is a based off quarx work well we certainly think so ;) so anything that was in quarx early builds is most likely in miui

whats the diff with miui 1.7.29?
[Defy Android Development] mujju85:
ya fc on fm radio :(
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
theres a huge post from today in this thread about this. We're all lazy but don't be soooo lazy man. :)
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
Bugs in 1.8.5:

-FC in radio app.

-Reboot bug persist. (I just had my first. I think it might be that 2.3.5 is less OC friendly.)

-1% battery step patch is not included in this release. thanks nepotu.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Use app from .22 or .29 for now guys i'll let them know and they will probably fix it quite quick if it is same issue as previous.

Try the attached file. Flash through recovery or copy to system/app and set permissions. :)

Doesn't work for me...
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
Hi all. Long time no see. I've just installed the latest release (clean install) and noticed it's laggy. Besides the "bugs" mentioned above I see the 1% battery step patch is not included in this release.

I respect the miuiandroid guys for their work but I simply don't get it how the heck it's possible to screw the FM.apk on each release. If they know they did it for many times by now why don't they test it before releasing the update? I don't want to sound rude but this is annoying now.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
They switched to an automated packaging system and there are issues now and then.

I imagine this issue will cease to arise once they go fully English on the Chinese release. No more language pack very sooooon.
[Defy Android Development] kevin_diu:
How can i install another kernel in this rom? thanks

edit: I can use 179 kernel from cm7 site and do i have to install it via rsd?
[Defy Android Development] mujju85:
Same fc on radio
[Defy Android Development] coolzarjun:
This update is really good.. I came from 1.7.22 and its really fast...

Just that fm fc.. Rest everything fantastic

Ephumuris.. I applied ur zip.. Fm still fc.. I strange :/
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
I am asking coz i cant seem to figure out the diff..

Sent from my Nerd Machine
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
It's all good a new language pack coming soon to fix the FC on radio! I'll post when it's up.

In other news rom runs nice. No reboots etc yet although I am only undervolting no overclock for first time in my Android life! Clean install.

Ephumuris
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Defy specifics only include update to latest cyanogenmod sources.

Lots of other general fixes... I posted a huge changelog :-)

Ephumuris
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
saw it.. but in my tapatalk app i can't see the change log that you posted.. is it ok to upgrade w/ no data wipe from 1.7.22 to this 1.8.5? whats the best digits for undervolting? can you share yours?
[Defy Android Development] drfakeacc:
I'm using 18/300, 30/600, 52/1000 flawlessly.
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
is it ok to enable the oc via 2nd init or just via setvsel? just installed miui 1.8.5 over my 1.7.22.. will give feedbacks later..

does the status bar mod and 1% battery steps works with 1.8.5?
[Defy Android Development] MadStu:
I've updated from 1.7.15 - seems all good so far :)
[Defy Android Development] Evil Slayer:
hello

first thank you guys working on this rom for providing us with the miui experience on our defy

second i have a question...does this rom support arabic or not...and is the 3d performance is as good as cm7 performance?? since i play hd games alot

thanx in advance
[Defy Android Development] drfakeacc:
I would reccomend using 2nd-init and ditching SetVsel completely. They might interfere with each other.
[Defy Android Development] shibabz03:
If I enable Oc via 2nd unit and my digits isn't good wont I be stuck?

Just tested a fixed FM radio. Works great. As I suspected the Chinese changed something so the auto packaging of fm.apk got messed up. Should be a new language pack up soon. Morning at latest. 6am bst.

Should be OK now. Re download language pack and re apply.

Ephumuris
[Defy Android Development] SimboXXX:
As I have posted for the last 2 or 3 releases > using the miui.us version (no language pack for English needed) and the fm radio works great, and also has 1% battery step.

In 1.8.5 has fixed bugs in Theme Manager and the dock icons rearranging. Wifi connection time seems a lot faster.

All seems as fast as normal, that means no lag. Camera starts nice and fast, but still a problem with auto flash. Added a nice shutter animation.

All good, thanks MIUI :)

hey all

ive got a few questions..i tried cm7 but didn't like the battery life and the problems with the camera,so can anyone tell me what's the battery life like?does the camera work ok?..any other problems?..also how do you go back to stock if you don't like the rom?..thanks in advance..:D
[Defy Android Development] Ineedtoys:
Seems to have that silly bug where you have to jiggle the main lock bar upwards before it will slide down to unlock. Slide down on the edge Call and SMS icons works fine. Annoying!
[Defy Android Development] YashBhatt:
I just flashed the 1.8.5 Version + ENG Pack

Worked great and booted fine

But now i dont get any network....It just says SOS : Emergency Calls

EDIT : Installed the Baseband Switcher and it worked

And yea is there a menu in this one ? or is everything located on the homescreens ?

If yes then i'm unable to acess it....

Kinda new to this ROM...was using CM7

Any solutions ??
[Defy Android Development] JackSparrow17:
Use Baseband Switcher and change ur band..
[Defy Android Development] YashBhatt:
Yup...made it work !!
[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Everything's great! No problems as such.. I'm on miui.us version though.. There's no way any sane person can not like it.. Lol.. :-P

I don't get that at all. Still have to slide up to make the homescreen press for torch to stay on bug.

I'm already on 1.8.5 but the one from Ephumuris thread.. Now I want to flash the miui.us release.. can I do it in the same way I did while upgrading from 1.7.22?

Please help :/
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
Just wipe dalvick cache.
[Defy Android Development] coolzarjun:
Are they both same or different.. I think both are different. Rite?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Not really. More or less identical.

Differences are miui.us has integrated English.

MIUIandroid has separate language pack however... They are always first up with the releases and they are partnering with miui china to make the MIUIandroid English part of the Chinese rom. Means no more language packs and even quicker releases than MIUIandroid already provide.

And for those who complain about the problems with FM etc... Simply use a stable release instead. These are all test builds for an eventual stable anyway. They always fix it quickly anyway :-)

Ephumuris
[Defy Android Development] coolzarjun:
So which one is better miui rom according to you ... MIUIAndroid or miui.us??
[Defy Android Development] zencoran:
how come there are no themes for miui which change the statusbar icons to like different shapes and colors?
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
This ROM is just beautiful but what's up with Button leds? They light up as soon as I take off my hands off the phone and stay turned off when I keep then on the device...
[Defy Android Development] salimbest83:
just slide up lock button ( or opposite way of unlocking) to fix it.

works everytime for me
[Defy Android Development] salimbest83:

I always use miui.us release cuz they fix all the overlooked bugs, like the fm this time and every other time from the very beginning.. :-P plus advantage of not having to flash extra language pack and no hint of chinese anywhere.. :) it's worth the wait for a few hours after initial release.. :)
[Defy Android Development] coolzarjun:

[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
I think one of the Miui.us guys has a defy. Nobody at MIUIandroid does so we're the testers. The reason fm breaks is the Chinese keep changing parts so the translation had to be changed. The reason it is overlooked is the rom is autopackaged with English translations for speed of release.

Like I say soon MIUIandroid will be working with the Chinese Make English available as standard... Which is hugeeee. No more language packs. :-)

Ephumuris
[Defy Android Development] SimboXXX:
There are plenty. I like neonGT, neonBT, Buuf.

Anyone got any bugs they have noticed? I notice nothing new...

well i calibrated my phone and it seems like i have worse battery life now
[Defy Android Development] awo23:
i have the us version on, no problems at all. in the latest cm7 nightly i had more and more problems. only 2 things are annoying: 1)no haptic feedback in stock keyboard - i solved with swype or htc KB; 2)weird autobrightness - solved with fixed brightness value...
[Defy Android Development] martin.flory:
I still got a couple of reboots... And I'm using VERY conservative OC values.

Still its a much better release.

How can I center the clock on status bar?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
No calibration just used as it is.

No underclock just about 10 points off each value to undervolt in setvsel. I do however disable data when not using it. This is probably the biggest battery saver. I use 3G a lot just always disable afterwards.

Wats the min vetsel for 1ghz u use.. Im on 54 :/
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
Tried this for 2 days now, and there's still some things to do for them ;)

although it's much, much better that the last version it suffers from battery-draining (which I also noticed in some CM7-nightlys!) and the launcher is - compared to the 1.8.5 MIUI on the Samsung Galaxy S - really slow. Otherwise there are some small bugs like not correctly showing some previews in the theme-chooser, but nothing really annoying :)

GPS works perfect now, so does WIFI.

I like that it's stable now, and will keep it for now, but I hope they squeeze some more out of the Defy :>

Hi all!

MIUI.us 1.8.5 absolutely fresh install with full wipe (base: official Froyo CEE DeBlur). First I had a problem with not finding the Market app anywhere. I downloaded the new Market apk, tried to install which led to an "update" - so I suppose the Market application was already installed (only invisible).

Secondly, I have wi-fi problems. When I browse the Internet or try to download anything from Market, after a few minutes suddenly all downloads seem to be stuck. Nothing happens except "hourglassing". I switch off wi-fi, mobile data connection comes back and all downloads continue flawlessly. In latest MIUI releases wi-fi worked perfectly. What happened?
[Defy Android Development] awo23:
it happens to me in CM7 in 1.8.5 miui.us version i don't have this problem. in CM7 when you select the wallpaper you got a screen with a frame and your wallpaper beside, you have to enlarge that frame. don't know if you can do this in miui

I noticed a bug in both CM7 and MIUI, if you edit the name of an mp3 file in file explorer, it won't play in any (music) player. I think it's new in 2.3.5 . Does any of you guys have this problem? I posted this in many threads but no one replied :(

shibabz03 how old is your SIM card. I had the same issues with stock eclair and at the beginning i was blaming the Defy, but when I've tried it in a Nokia phone and I saw the same behavior I concluded it was a faulty SIM card. I went to my network provider and asked to change it. Since then it's working fine.

Wiping cache and data won't solve your issue. I see you already switched your baseband so (IMO) there can be only 2 options: faulty SIM or defective device (Defy).
