[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peakay:
Hey guys,

Despite my post title, I really like MIUI a lot (I'm on Evo with 1.5.20). It's been extremely stable for me, no FCs and the interface is very clean in a way that I like. Its been fine as a daily driver for me and I just have a few issues that are preventing me form staying with it, but I thought I'd ask for help/feedback first:

1) Lagginess: Everything I read about MIUI said it was blazing fact, but on my evo, i find its a bit slow. It doesn't "stutter" in the middle of things like my stock rom, but it just is slow moving. Any feedback on whether this is normal or if I have a setting wrong?

2) Google shortcuts: I used to have shortcuts directly to gmail folder/labels so I could jump right into some filtered email. Now I don't see this capability in MIUI or any direct navigation or call shortcuts, etc. Why?

3) 3G speed: My 3g seems slower and laggy as well. Web pages often get stuck at 10% and then take a long time to resume and load. Any idea why?

4) Bluetooth: I get occasional bluetooth drops if I try to do something else on the phone while talking. For example, I took a business call today, then fired up wifi to look something up while talking and my bluetooth dropped.

5) Sounds/themes: the range of sounds seems limited or not to my liking and the downloadable themes look to "Asia" to me. Any way to get better system sounds and more clean, americanized themes?

6) Clock timer: I used my stock stopwatch or minute timer when BBQing all the time and was shocked to find there isn't one on MIUI. Is here an update or do you just use another app?

Thanks in advance for any help. Despite the list above, its really somethign I am very happy with and haven't had the urge to reflash, but I would like to get these last issues resolved.

Try a reboot that happened to me and a reboot fixed it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peakay:
Thanks Killa, but I've rebooted before. it's not hugely slow, but sure as heck isn't blazingly fast as many reviews indicated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
Just curious, what did you wipe before you flashed? A few of the issues are common with people who flash a new ROM without wiping. Did you use Calikulin's format all?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peakay:
I went into recovery, wiped both cache's and did a factory data reset. I don't get any (well, very few) FC's and the phone runs just fine, its just slower than I expected.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killakarl:
You might want to back everything up and use either calks format all or virus superwipe. What recovery are you using? Clockwork had a problem not fully wiping, I dont know if that is still the case. I use amon-ra recovery, myself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peakay:
Using clockwork. The problem with half this rooting stuff is everyone is using different tools and its tricky to find where to download them all. A lot of threads and links end up being outdated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killakarl:
If you have rom manager you can switch to amon-ra through the application. The option is at tge bottom it says flash.alternate recovery, that is amon-ra. You can get calk's format all zip from his threads he has a couple. You can also search by author of thread. His handle is calukin.

If you are still having trouble I have virus superwipe I will post it when I get to my comp.

Maybe a stupid question, but have you choosen the right band with defy band switcher on CM7?

If i don't do it i get the same as you...

Hi,

I'm using Miui on the moment,

any idea how to switch band on that one?

when I look at battery usage, cell standby is the most power consuming thing.

looks like it's network searching all the time.

I should be on 900 or 1800 band

Help!

I've had CM7 on my phone for some time now

I left my phone in my room when I went out, I noticed when I got back it had ran out of battery and kept booting, running out of battery, and restarting. I put it on charge and it was running and charging ok, but accidentally pulled the power wire out and it died again.

I've tried restarting the phone since then and it just boots to a blank screen, I've tried booting to recovery, fastboot and normal powering on, all of these just boot to the blank screen and does nothing

Please help with any suggestions!

Gee. try connecting your phone to your pc then see if your pc reads your phone. If it does then you could try installing stock ruu from your pc to the phone.

Which one is the best app on Android market for this task?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Touranaga:
Titanium Backup is the best as far as I know. Though you will need to root the phone to be able to backup.

there is the web site matrixrewriter.com/android/

you can easy find the app on android market as well.

No matter what i have tried, i can not get any of the motorola software to detect my phone on all of my P.Cs ive tried un installing drivers, software, re-installing and so on. However i have managed to get the MSU update working on some one elses P.C where it installed the 2.2.2 froyo update to:

System Version

Version.34.164.3.MB525.Retail.en.FR

Model Number

MB525

Firmware Version:

2.2.2

but on all my home P.Cs Motorola software update, and RSD lite just wont detect.

the only thing that they have in common is that they all run, or have had Sony Ericsson PC suite installed.

after searching google, it turns out that the Sony ericsson PC suite causes all sorts of problems with other software/USB hardware, and i think my little defy has fallen victim to this.

So, i have un installed the SE software form my main P.C searched for the drivers, and deleted them, serached through the USB devices in device manager, and uninstalled all USB root hubs, and hub that have Sony ericsson drivers, and reverted them back to microsoft drivers, re-installed things over and over again, spent god knows how much time trying to sort it.

An after all that, still nothing. i could type the magic words format C:\ but i really really dont want to do that as its a complete pain in the arse to get it all back together again.

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Try deleting registry entries. I used advance installer pro.
[Defy General] reaperzero:
before deleting registries try using the motorola driver installer and clear and reinstall the driver package
[Defy General] 2Pints:
Many thanks for you replies, ive tried the re-install the drivers route, and i had a look at advance installer pro, but i was way out of my depth with that, although i am happy to have a look through the registry and alter things there manualy ( as i know what ive done ) as long as theres a decent guide.

I have even tried to run the MSU from a virtual machine running windows XP ( VMware player) but the install always stops with an error message check_hotfix_for_vista.vbs

[Defy General] salingpusa:
is your windows updated or does it have the necessary reqts to run rsd? If they do, try reinstalling rsdlite. I still use rsd4.9 plus the necessary motorola drivers. If that still doesn't work. Try repairing your windows if you still have your installer.

AOSP Style Contacts/Dialer APK​

I have a simple request. I will be purchasing the HTC Sensation 4G in a few days and we all know that for the most part root isn't available. As a result, I will be forced to use HTC Sense 3.0 until root is established and Custom Roms become available. I will probably use ADW EX as my launcher, but I will be stuck with the HTC Sense Dialer/Contacts. Is there any brave soul out there that can create a dialer/Contact apk that is the same as the AOSP version that can be installed without root? There are a few mods/fixes out there that require root to move the dialer.apk to the main system folder etc but obviously since the Sensation doesn't have root yet I will not be able to use those.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE STOCK HTC DIALER & CONTACTS APPS

... I am willing to donate to the person that figures this out....also I'm sure I am not the only person interested in this so uploading the apk to the android market could prove profitable for you also? Here are some examples:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=539752

I am as well! I absolutely hate the HTC Dialer/Contacts. I urge manufacturers to stop messing with the GOOD AOSP apps!

So glad you're doing this eugene. I especially hate senses quickcontact look! Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
AWESOME!!! Thanks! I hate the HTC contacts and dialer. Are you making a flashable version? Since I update my ROM often, I think I'll end up having to replace the APKs every time.
[HTC Sensation] oldjuju:
So I might not have understood your original requirements, but you don't need root to be able to use another launcher. Unless you are wanted to dispense with Sense altogether. By now though, you'd be aware that root is available and you've probably custom ROM'd as well.

For me, I use Go Launcher, Go Contacts/Dialer and Go SMS. For me, they are more than suitable replacements to Sense versions.

I can't get rid of Sense altogether as I rely on HTC Facebook to link all my contacts with images.
[HTC Sensation] stevekixs:
The Facebook app does the same thing.
[HTC Sensation] oldjuju:
Oh, good to know. I've tried an senseless rom in the past and it didn't seem to link to the contacts. Might have to try again.

Although I am now quite fond of the Sense 3.0 lock screen with weather animations.
[HTC Sensation] chen kh:
Please upload the apk. I am very excited to try it.
[HTC Sensation] gokberks:
Thanks for this bro. I hate HTC's People app too
[HTC Sensation] L.N.X:
Thank you for your job and distribution.
[HTC Sensation] etawful:
I hit the same snag. Anyone know how to disable the stock dialer so we can use only the RocketDial?

Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind, the key is to disable caller ID in RocketDial which leaves only the Sense caller ID running so you only have to "answer" once.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
are you going to allow us to try your new dialer or do we have to wait and install the rom you are working on?

However I also wasn't complaining. :P
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:

[HTC Sensation] hello00:

[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
LOL dude every rom for the sensation is GB.... you must mean AOSP ROM
[HTC Sensation] htcclay:
Eugene has done it already. I don't understand?
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
What's not to like about HTC's dialer? You type the person's name who you want to call using T9, their name appears, you tap their name, you make your call. Pretty damn simple.
[HTC Sensation] :
Its not that we hate htc's dialer, we just prefer the vanilla style dialer over it. Aosp is better and less laggy than sense
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
The stock AOSP dialer requires you to tab-over to contacts and then scroll through your contacts or press the search key and then type in your contacts' names to select them and then dial. I don't see how this is faster. It's slower.

Regardless, there's a free market solution that trumps both dialers IMO. Dialer One. Simple, quick and customizable.
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
I like being able to access the dialer from contacts! Its useful. Also, most people don't need to search their contacts, but I agree for those who do the htc dialer is useful. I like my favorites tab on stock as well, I use it often. Another good point for stock.
[HTC Sensation] :
Aside from these AOSP components... did anyone ever make a AOSP lockscreen for our phone? Like a flashable zip or apk?

EDIT: nevermind... found this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9391357&postcount=1
[HTC Sensation] :
i didnt say that the aosp dialer was faster, i was trying to say that we want to remove sense components of the phone to make it be more aosp be cause sense is just slowing down our phones. its all personal preference though
[HTC Sensation] Switcherd:
Also, the htc dialer doesn't scale when lowering the lcd density.

I realy like the htc dialer, quick easy and simple. But I love lowering my dpi more. That's why i can't wait for a proper aosp dialer.
[HTC Sensation] hello00:
Yeah that's what I meant thanks
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
Does anyone know if there was an update to this project? I am eager to get rid of the sense dialer and contacts application.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] transformerfan:
I'm confused (normal) regarding TF "reset".

The easy one (I think) is "Factory Reset" from "Settings" menu - Wipes out all data including MicroSD ? - Does it do anything else ?

Then we have depress and hold "Power Button" for 10 - 12 seconds - Then what ? - What does it do ?

Now I hear press "+ Volume" and "Power Button" - Then what ? - What does it do ?

HELP !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xformulax:
factory reset is going to delete all your data and restore it to the state it would be in if you opened it new.

depressing power is a normal reset... like a shutdown or a reboot...

volume up and power is NVFLASH (firmware flashing bootloader type screen)

volume down and power allows you to flash an asus supplied zip file on your external uSD memory.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] perigee:
After the 3.1 update, things were OK but not quite right. gmail wasn't notifying me of new messages and things were kind of sluggish. I did a factory reset and everything seems much more smooth and I have no problems. It didn't take me long to set everything back up either, since all my apps reinstalled themselves. Just realize you'll lose any settings / data in each app.

I can now more fully appreciate the benefits of 3.1

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Freelancerx:
after i rooted with primeordial to 3.1 i was having wierd issues like sometimes my screen would flicker really quickly, or even some random reboots, i did a factory reset and i havnt had a singe problem. I would say its a good idea to do one if you have some flaky issues like that.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] xplosiveone:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
not to be a downer, but I wonder if the hard resetting is faster only because the accumulated trash files were cleared out, just like reinstalling a Windows OS would be faster but only for a limited period of time before trash files become accumulated again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] akarol:
Exactly. I doubt OP will be pleased after a couple of weeks.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] carlitos66:
how about the volume level after factory reset? Is it still low or does it goes back to pre 3.1 levels. Movies are unwatchable in plane, volume is too low.

What are you saying? I haven't done any factory reset after countless reinstallation and I'm STILL pleased...
