Video Review of 1.7.15

Hey everyone,

Sorry I didn't get a video review of last weeks build done, the new job is keeping me busy! Watch the latest video here and spread the word to everyone to check it out!

[YOUTUBE]RRsDEpls5yE[/YOUTUBE]​
[Nexus S Android Development] i.peteycent:
So far rock solid on my phone. Only problem I can see is I can't mount my phone to the computer. Anyone having this issue or know of a fix? I don't use the phone as a USB often so not sure if its just a bug with my phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] jerrycycle:
What kernel are your using. Some 3rd party kernels had that issue. You can always mount usb in recovery
[Nexus S Android Development] eatTHESEbullets:
Anytime I use trinity it rebooted on me constantly
[Nexus S Android Development] BJNK:
Can anyone comment on how the newest version deals with contacts?

For example, if I have an exchange account and a Gmail account on the phone, can I choose too only display certain groups or does it show all contacts like the previous versions? Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] jerrycycle:
Try matr1x with proton for undervolting. I was having the same issue until I changed the kernel. If defaults to 1.2 but if don't want that high of speed use setcpu to 1
[Nexus S Android Development] i.peteycent:
Using ogbears kernel. Reflashed seemed to fix the issue. Thanks for the tip about mounting in recovery, I had totally forgot about that.
[Nexus S Android Development] bluecluenj:
Beautiful ROM. Faster and smoother than previous versions. My only issue is serious lag in maps, particularly during navigation.
[Nexus S Android Development] TheBassman369:
I was yesterday. I made a folder for my games and they all just disappeared. I had to clear the launcher data to get them back.

adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
[Nexus S Android Development] josehu:
I have the same problem. Its fine with two folders, bur when i make the third folder its the same like the second One?
[Nexus S Android Development] TheBassman369:
A reboot fixed any folder issues for me. If not, clearing the launcher data should.

adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
guys what's about you battery life? :/
[Nexus S Android Development] TheBassman369:
I had to leave it plugged in for the majority of the day yesterday, but I was using maps and Navigation a lot.

On other days it's decent.
[Nexus S Android Development] BJNK:
Can one of you please comment on how contacts are displayed?

I am wondering if they have finally added the ability to go into contacts, hit menu and then choose "Display Options" where you can decide which group of contacts is shown? Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] cman675:
You can go to contacts, then choose groups. But there is no way to say, only show this and that groups in my contacts list, at least from what I just experimented with.

Is there anyway to get more functionality out of the stock launcher though? I love being able to set secondary (swipe) gestures on launcher pro, but there are some things I like about the stock launcher too. Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] dwd3885:
I'm having a problem with netflix. No video will play. There is an error: Issue with account or device was deactivated (2004)
[Nexus S Android Development] i.peteycent:
Had my first reboot yesterday (at least that I know of). No bootloop, just a reboot. Will see if this happens again.
[Nexus S Android Development] LordPhong:
I'm kind of new to this MIUI thing. Can someone tell me if/how I can change the applications in the Sense lock theme and date format?
[Nexus S Android Development] jerrycycle:
Working here. Uninstall Netflix then reboot into recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik. Reboot reinstall. Hope this helps you
[Nexus S Android Development] mizunox:
A couple of observations..

I've had a few random reboots with 1.7.15.

The default lock screen has been unresponsive at times as well.

Battery life has been good :)
[Nexus S Android Development] :
What kernel can I use for 1.7.15? Jame Bond doesn't work anymore.
[Nexus S Android Development] jerrycycle:
I'm still using matr1x kernel with proton for undervolting.
[Nexus S Android Development] window7:
Use Matrix Kernel, or Trinity :)
[Nexus S Android Development] josehu:
Im using neterchy 1.3.7 universal. Had no problems yet. Overclocked 1.2 gh.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
I had a read through the Jame Bond thread, and saw evidence that it would work ok. Someone had a problem with wifi, but solved with a cache wipe.

I went ahead and flashed 1.5.9.3 CM7/Any Kernel Sabai Dee and it is working on MIUI 1.7.15. I got a quadrant of 3100. I always check performance with Google Earth too, and it works very nicely. No lag.

What made you think it wouldn't work?
[Nexus S Android Development] ShadowVlican:
also encountering random reboots... can't pinpoint exactly why
[Nexus S Android Development] coloxim:
for the miui....the best kernel for battery life, is the original...or the james bond o trinity?
[Nexus S Android Development] dwd3885:
thanks. that did it!

any way to change the status bar signal and clock icons? Can't seem to find an easy way.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
I found trinity didn't work well with MIUI. It was laggy. I'm using jame bond, but I didn't compare it to the stock kernel, which did however seem to be very good for battery conservation.
[Nexus S Android Development] areicko:
same here... sometimes while listening to music, sometimes while browsing the web, and more often while getting SMS...
[Nexus S Android Development] kyleds:
Can you guys add and sync your facebook account in the settings?
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
im using trinity UV 1.1 and UI is smooth for me really noticeable when using preview mode and selecting screen. Stock miui kernel lags but smooth on trinity
[Nexus S Android Development] coloxim:
now i'm using a stock kernel..is very fast...

in 4 hours the battery is 77% with 50 minutes display..

maybe the james bond is better...
[Nexus S Android Development] jerrycycle:
Find theme with mtz format. Use the theme manager under to change the status and icons. Theme manager let's you pick individual parts if the theme. So you can mix different themes to make one that satisfies you.
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
guys when using Trinity kernel power off the screen "standby" then turn back on after boot it will run fast.

If you dont do that it will be really sluggish and wont run good.

Trinity kernel runs great with this rom
[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
Go to superuser app, you'll see apps that asks for calls/texts permission, change the ' always ask' to' always' and the reboots will be gone.

Sent from my Google Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] tanclo:
Yes. Same here. Made one folder then Added another 3 folders..they all cloned themselves then I removed apps from one.. went into widget mode Again and returned to 4 empty folders. Then sorted apps accordingly.

SwiftKeyX'd from MIUI-powered Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] ammarmalik:
can someone tell me which kernel should i use?

netarchy 2.3.3 for non-stock or 2.3.4 for non-stock
[Nexus S Android Development] dwd3885:
i'm just using the stock kernel 2.3.4 and it seems to work fine on miui. I'm not sure what the benefit would be of moving to another kernel. The only thing I have a problem with is that the task manager takes a long time to open when I long press the home button.
[Nexus S Android Development] ammarmalik:
i need voodoo
[Nexus S Android Development] onei0077:
2.3.4 works great haven't tried his newest from today, but the stable version is great.
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
You could try Matr1x too
[Nexus S Android Development] ammarmalik:
there are lots of those and im a noob at kernels. tell me exactly which one to download.

and i hope u make one with no OC. I seriously do not want to OC my phone, not even for a second.
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
Lol.

You can adjust the settings accordingly hehehe, go into setcpu and make it 1 ghz
[Nexus S Android Development] coloxim:
try trinity....
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
Or trinity, yeah
[Nexus S Android Development] MistaJae:
Hi All,

I have just installed MIUI 1.7.15 as I got bored of AOSP stock roms.

I created a status bar, icons & honeycomb battery via the online kitchen (http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/). I flashed the file and it works perfectly, until I change to a dark theme. The problem is that I had to use the SystemUI.apk & framework-res.apk from the stock ROM to create my theme. This gives me a dark theme and white (default) status bar :eek:

My question:

Is there a way to edit an existing .mtz and add my own battery and icons etc?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Android Development] ammarmalik:
trying miui after a long time and noticed u cant sync FB contacts with your contacts. anyway to do this??
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Works for me

Ronnie

Sent by pure Google™
[Nexus S Android Development] ammarmalik:
yes working for me too now. however still one issue. if my contact is both on twitter and facebook, miui randomly chooses the DP. Can i specify if i want the FB pic or twitter?
[Nexus S Android Development] Beako:
I just flashed this today, but I had the KB3 radio flashed on my phone while I had CM7.0.3. Do I need to flash it again now that I'm on MIUI?
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
The radio? no.
[Nexus S Android Development] Beako:
Ahh okay, thanks. I seem to be getting a lot of reboots and all I have is the latest MIUI and Netarchy's 1.3.7 CFS kernel...
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
I haven't messed with battery icons yet im liking the stock ATM im learning as i go

But you can edit .mtz file by dragging to you computer desktop rename it .zip extract

then when you're done compress the files back up into zip file put back onto phone and with miui file explorer locate the .zip file rename back to .mtz

Ive found that when messing with themes for some reason its better to use built-in file explorer rather than root explorer..ect IDK im new to this whole miui but m really liking so far
[Nexus S Android Development] kyleds:
anyone else having problem with the browser? the language is all screwed up.
[Nexus S Android Development] tanclo:
battery life isn't very good here is it?
[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
go back a page or two, I've posted a fix for the reboots on miui...

use trinity uv11 kernel.. REALLY good battery like with this rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] tanclo:
Thanks ..which Trinity suits miui best? Last time I found an oxygen and a cm version.
[Nexus S Android Development] wuyanks:
how does this differ from the other MIUI rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] bluecluenj:
I used this ROM this week for a few days. I found it to be rock-solid stable. Not as fast as some of the non-MIUI ROMs out there that I use like Infin1ty or Zulu but definitely fast enough for daily use. I switched mainly because the iPhone sort of UI isn't my thing but if it's yours, this ROM is really brilliant.

My one and only issue with it was that in the texting app, the system didn't distinguish between mobile phones and say, home phones so when you pull up a name within the Messaging app, you get a list of numbers with no way of identifying which is the cell phone number of that contact.

All in all, incredibly great work!
[Nexus S Android Development] Jibreil:
Yes please can someone answer this.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Because there were no official posts, until now of course.
[Nexus S Android Development] pnnorth:
This isn't an official post from miui. In my opinion the OP is completely misleading, the rom is based on the official release from miui.com and holds no more credibility than the release from miuiandroid.com.
[Nexus S Android Development] JasonK75:
It is clearly listed in OP and title thread that this is brought to you by MIUI.us. We do our own porting/dev/translation and so it is cooked its own way compared to how someone else might do it.

Sorry if you feel mislead some how. :confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] Jibreil:
Here's my verdict on this one. Feels allot more stable, snappier, faster boot loads times and smoother than the one by miuidev. Noticed the nice ON | OFF text on the toggles and confirmation on Dialog boxes if an sms is sent by an app etc.

WhatsApp doesn't cause a reboot with this one. A very nice release.

Another big plus is that it contains the GB Keyboard with English dictionary etc.
[Nexus S Android Development] rejanmanis:
So this rom based on stock instead of cm7 ? So I will flash custom kernel for stock rom? Or I have to with kernel base cm7 ? Thx before...

Video Review of 1.6.10

I'm proud to present the MIUI.us review of the 1.6.10 build!

Enjoy! :D

[YOUTUBE]4ZlxdI5FzEw[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus S Android Development] nickwarn:
I have to agree i always flash the us version just because of the reasons above + so far it has had much better battery life. I only wich they fixed the theme manager force close. But its just to flash chinese build first then wipe cache and then US build and it all works. Thank you guys for bringing this to Xda
[Nexus S Android Development] kid1da:
Is anyone experiencing bln not working.
[Nexus S Android Development] lvnatic:
UOT kitchen doesn't modify the battery for me, everything else seems to be working from the flashable zip. Also, the miui themes from theme manager don't modify things as its shown in their previews. The toggle colors aren't modifed and the status bar always remains the same. Lock screen is never changed BTW, never.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jibreil:
Visit the MIUI.US forum, they are releasing a fix for the Theme Manager.

The best kernels that work with this ROM are:

- Netarchy

- Matrix

- James Bond

Unfortunately Trinity 1.44 isn't compatible.
[Nexus S Android Development] nickwarn:
And why wouldnt it be? It worked for me, but i changed to UV12 Trinity
[Nexus S Android Development] Aztriltus:
Sir, you are a genius!!

Let me explain in a more detailed manner for those who still cannot get theme manager to work.

1) Download 1.6.10 from miui.com for nexus s

2) Flash this chinese rom after wiping data.

3) Boot up your phone and play around with the theme manager

4) Go back to recovery and clear only the cache

5) Flash the miui.us rom

That should make your theme manager work :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Jibreil:
The dev's will release an improvised version by today
[Nexus S Android Development] timpychu:
i flashed Netarchy CFS 1.3.4 and bln works :D
[Nexus S Android Development] jkhrist:
Trinity is compatible with my phone on miui but can't overclock. I can't overclock with trinity on any rom tho, but it works
[Nexus S Android Development] jkhrist:
What's up with ext4 speedboost I notice lag on miui that I don't get with my aosp rom. Phone takes forever to process I/O in quadrant.
[Nexus S Android Development] kid1da:
i got it to work i dont know what the problem was. Are you using universal or the stock netarchys?
[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
Just look threw the thread on the latest pages you'll find the latest uv11.. The new version works on any rom without a problem

Thanks. I'll give that a try!
[Nexus S Android Development] MurukanDHD:
Hey guys i am in desperate need for some help here.

I got my Nexus S on Monday and after 2 hours the bootloader was unlocked and the device was rooted. I immediatelly installed MIUI on it.

As a result of this my phone did not receive a proper initial charge.

The problem i am facing now is that the phone charges only up to 96% and it wont go higher.

Battery goes to 4.181V and the % is stuck.

I have tried rebooting, reflashing the rom, wiping battery stats and even a full factory reset and a fresh install. Left it on charger overnight and still was stuck to 96%.

Any ideas woul be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
This is intended as a feature to protect the battery from overcharging. This has been discussed many times before. Mine only goes to 97 %.
[Nexus S Android Development] MurukanDHD:
Well excuse my noobness on the matter but the Nexus was an impulsive buy and i didnt have much time to read about it.

So according to what you are saying its a feature of the phone and it should not worry me?

This is my 3rd android device and it never happened before.
[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
Its perfectly fine.. if you do want it to charge up to 100% (which is useless and damage the battery on the long-term) just set the Screen-On time to longest possible and stick it to the charger.. you'll get 100% eventually.

Im getting up with 96% everyday and goes to sleep with around 25..
[Nexus S Android Development] MurukanDHD:
Ok then, i will stop worrying and enjoy my phone. :-)

Thanks to both of you.
[Nexus S Android Development] kud0s:
Weird this is my third device as well. All 3 have had that feature in place.
[Nexus S Android Development] MurukanDHD:
I have had a Desire, a Wildfire, my current Desire HD and now the Nexus S.

The previous 3 were all rooted and with custom roms installed. All of them charged up to 4.199 and 100% reading.

Thats why i was confused on the matter.
[Nexus S Android Development] IcOpRo:
Hi i was reading this because i just had my first splash reboot, I just installed MIUI today for the first time, I installed the SU app, which I tough btw that it came installed when I flashed the ROM, anyway, I cant find that app(s) that ask for calls/text permissions.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
[Nexus S Android Development] kud0s:
It won't show up in the list until its been accessed and granted permission or denied it. (At least that's what I'm thinking. Could be wrong though :)
[Nexus S Android Development] IcOpRo:
Thats what i tough also, it needs to ask for permission first before i can see it on my SU app...

I just want to find a ROM where i get no random reboots... ^^
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
been messing with this RAM optimization script and really makes things allot more snappy and seems to decrease load times

IMO worth trying out you guys might like it

[Nexus S Android Development] nafeasonto:
My call recording are mute there is no playback
[Nexus S Android Development] Bolick:
Are you sure that call recording is supposed to work on Nexus S?

AFAIK call recording should be somehow supported in Linux kernel.

Stock kernel for Nexus S doesn't have those patches applied to enable call recording. I suppose kernel from MIUI is quite close to the stock one.

On the other hand you may flash whatever 3rd party kernel we have here for our Nexus and if one of them has call recording support enabled you'll see call recording working.

BTW check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868166
[Nexus S Android Development] Deyez:
Closest thing you'll get to zero reboots...

Stock - 2.3.4 - GRJ22 - Deodexed w/radio for NS/NS4G

I think the chance of random reboots definitely goes up the more the code has been tweaked and adjusted. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] laurentbon:
Been running MIUI for 48 hours now on my Nexus S with Netarchy kernel.

I really like some of the features of that ROM. The camera and Music App are miles ahead and the notification/switch area and the fully themeable interface are great.

But why do I feel somehow it doesn't work?

- My phone is a bit laggy. Launching app (twitter, etc..) take a while

- The battery last a good 25% longer than when running stock!! BAD

- The lockscreen is SO promising yet fails to deliver on some notifications (email for example)

- Missed items works fine on some elements but not others.

- NoLed doesn't work properly on this ROM (a must on the led-less Nexus S)

I am loving the concept but, unless I am missing a point, it is not quite there yet for Nexus S.. Perhaps in a few months?

Anyone sharing / rejecting violently my views?
[Nexus S Android Development] coloxim:
with miui 7.8 the battery life was fantastic....with the last miui,...is terrible..
[Nexus S Android Development] ammarmalik:
Tried this ROM after 3 months and it still has the same issues it had 3 months ago. One that's annoying me is when I click the battery bar in battery usage, it just force closes. It works a few times after a phone restart but goes back to like this again
[Nexus S Android Development] kyleds:
Is there a way to add the back button to the messaging? Can't go back to all messages coming from one person.
[Nexus S Android Development] sterescugabriel:
i have a problem with mounted Sdcard to PC, is not working.

can someone please help me. in clockworkmod also not working.
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
So bfs sometimes does that, I would flash the cfs kernel. If problem still persists, not a kernel issue then.
[Nexus S Android Development] eatTHESEbullets:
1.7.22 is up and live.
[Nexus S Android Development] sterescugabriel:
i have flash Matr1x-cfs_v4.5 and still not working
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
If you can reflash and let me know? remember to wipe dalvik cache!

If problem persists, try a different rom
[Nexus S Android Development] chuckenfoot:
Will 1.7.22 be added to rom manager?
[Nexus S Android Development] cman675:
Dunno but you can download 1.7.22 from miui.us. They have a qr code too
[Nexus S Android Development] ragnarokx:
Haven't had any random reboots yet like I did with 1.7.15. Auto rotation speed is faster, as is the launcher. Good stuff.
[Nexus S Android Development] cam_hamlin:
Been running this for a day and so far so good...no bugs that I've seen yet...I want to try a kernel with...any recommendations..?
[Nexus S Android Development] Nux1990:
I want try an alternative kernel, also. What is the better?? (I want performance but also dignified battery life :D)
[Nexus S Android Development] eatTHESEbullets:
You both should try matr1x. I could not get it running right but after some playing with the OC and UV I gotnit just right. My battery is at 22 hours so far with 21% left.
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
V5.0 of Matr1x is released btw ;D
[Nexus S Android Development] LordPhong:
Wow. Are you a heavy user? I can't even get a full 8hrs with either trinity or netarchy.
[Nexus S Android Development] sinik420:
Better to manually delete using root explorer. Just multi select and delete all from data>dalvik and cache>dalvik and then reboot. Also can try clearing the data from the app and going to your Netflix account and removing the previous phone identity

[Nexus S Android Development] mizunox:
I suggest you get something like system tuner and monitor your cpu usage. I found that I had an app that was keeping my cpu awake and scaled to 1ghz. Got rid of said app and the cpu sat idle at 100 mhz..much better battery life.
[Nexus S Android Development] coloxim:
can you post your settings?

but 21% without use it?
[Nexus S Android Development] cam_hamlin:
Great thx..
[Nexus S Android Development] pooley:):
Nice ... and 1.7.22 Pure French ? lol non ?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Just want to say, I've tried lots of ROMs and this one just seems really good for battery and really slick user experience.
[Nexus S Android Development] pooley:):
Just 3 things on this ROM i'd like to see in :

- App drawer (because homescreen with all my icons... yerk ! i tried to pass over creating a folder named "apps" then put it on the middle of the dock, but when I open it... :S well ...

- Stock android Icons (I ain't seeing these on the online icons ressources).

- A working French language pack (:))

I'm not on matr1x but on netarchy 1.3.7 bfs (but will try cfs and those 2 matr1x too) and keep the one my phone loves:rolleyes:

greetz
[Nexus S Android Development] Bandis710:
An appdrawer is not a part of miui so that will not happen. If you want an appdrawer you will have to install a third party launcher, eg. Go adw or launcherpro. Then you can also choose stock icons( as a theme). The miui rom from brainmaster has 30 languages I think French is included.
