The phone gets hot sometimes when you flash new ROMs, warming up as it settles in, syncs things, etc. This also happens to me on occasion when flashing a new RK, CR and CM7 ROM. But it settles down after an hour or three.

I've been running Galnet MIUI for a while now. Long enough to have the battery settle in and to test a couple of different modems. In MIUI, as in RK and CR, I found the KI4 modem to perform well (good audio, strong/persistent connections).

Battery life for me on MIUI has been very good. It draws perhaps a little more power than RK and CR on the KJ3/KI4 ROMS. My battery life over the last week/10 days has been 85-90% of what I get with the RK/CR ROMs. With the RK ROM I was getting roughly 30-40 hours per charge with my normal usage. With the MIUI ROM I get maybe 4-6 hours less. In any case, all the mentioned ROMs provide enough battery life that it is no longer a major issue for me.

As Kenny mentioned, the Galnet MIUI ROM is different enough that it takes a little while to see how/where it does things differently. As mentioned before, for me the most useful thing is the way the notifications come in - with live windows that allow me to act/respond immediately. Some folks might find this intrusive (preferring quiet background notifications in the top bar)... but for me that works.

MIUI also boots faster than any ROM I have used to date, including CM7. And many apps seem to startup and execute a good bit faster than in the Sammy ROMs (Titanium Backup, Gallery, etc.).

On the MIUI threads there are some comments saying that the camera in MIUI is not nearly as good as the camera in the Sammy ROMs. I haven't really had a chance to do a proper comparison, so don't have a view on this yet. Took a few photos and they came out fine... but none of them particularly challenging.

[[ For reference - I'm not suggesting Galnet MIUI is better than any of these others... just enjoy seeing how different Devs are implementing their ROMs. And I know Tricky enjoys doing the same. :) ]]
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
To be honest mine isn't getting any hotter than before. I've had a bit of overheating on occasion on Sammy roms too so I guess I could call it 'settling in'

But Yeah.... A lot of settings customization... and a lot of playing to do today :D

Boot times are def faster. Live windows are nice but u can turn them off too so that's cool.

Afaik the stills camera is supposed to be fine, just the interface a bit different and maybe not as good as Sammy roms.

So far though I must say I like this rom better than cm7.

At the moment it's a bit of a EYE CANDY and a new toy!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
i have tried MIUI ports before and it gives us a host of nice settings and tweaks.

But i always had bad battery life in MIUI. The camera in Sammy ROM is the best.

MIUI music player is neat. One gets a lot of themes in MIUI thats a plus for theme likers. battery stats in MIUI is broken. And i dont like the iphone-ish homescreen+appdrawer concept. So i had to install alt drawer or something to get the applaucher. but overall lotta eye candy but not much performance when compared to Sammy ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] js8:
I had bad battery life in CM7, so have always ended up back in Sammy ROMs. But the battery life with Galnet MIUI 1.11.11 w KI4 modem has been, as noted, pretty close to the Sammy ROMs.

Interesting, your experience with performance. Galnet is notably more responsive in all respects for me than my Sammy ROMs. And the Sammy ROMs have been very very good of late, so the difference was completely unexpected.

Re homescreens: I always use Go Launcher, whether in Sammy ROMs, CM7, MIUI etc. The homescreen settings survive nicely even on CM7/MIUI. So the iPhone-ish-ology doesn't bug me much. That said... I played with Espier Launcher a bit, just to bug my iPhone buddies (yes, I shamefully admit a few of my friends are iPhone wonks). It's always fun to show them I can have an iPhone in 5 seconds any time I want :~}

[[ Tricky - sorry to take up so much space here talking about MIUI. But I know you don't mind, being an agnostic "try them all" guy yourself :)) I'm running your RK KJ3 just now... hopping back and forth between RK and MIUI just to see if my observations are my imagination or not.]]
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
miui and siyah is the best combo. I had a few reboots using 1.11.9 and some apps didn't work. I have had kj3 for a couple of days, but I feel bored of Samsung roms, maybe because I have been looking at them (as you have js8) for well over a year. On my sgs I never tried miui and cm7 was never stable enough. I am looking forward to Samsung ics add I hope they will take a different approach to the ui. I may try 1.11.11 later but running a stock kernel on kj3. Although I wouldn't mind flashing a stock ROM with chainfires new tool.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yeah.. 1.11.11 is running here nicely now. A few improvements from 1.11.9 apparently.

Miui is quite a bit snappier in my opinion. Battery is draining hard at the moment but I'm using it hard too :)

Sammy roms have gotten a bit boring for me too to be honest.

Its awesome with Siyah beta 6.

Might stay with this for a while yet.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
+ 100 exactly my thoughts :).. How about fully optimized miui Tricky? :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
:D :D :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Wow, I guess I'm kind of late, but Chainfire releasing Mobile Odin app.. Great!!

Oh and also ICS animations. This phone is fun again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
MIUI or sammy, battery life goes for a toss with data usage.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] js8:
So far Galnet 1.11.11 has worked with everything I throw at it. Which apps didn't work?

I've said this before, but what we really need is some clever programmer to crack the dual/multi boot on the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Is this not what Hellcat was developing?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lynx2k50:
Hey.

Is the KJ3 version (from Tricky) using the KI4 modem or a other one?

See the modem.bin but dont know which version it is.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
It has the ki4 modem as far as I remember
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
yup that's correct :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Guys running galnet miui.... are ye running v9 or v11?

I flashed v1.11.11 thinking it was the ics build. Am I wrong here?

I'm a bit confused with the different builds.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
.9 is ics build :) afaik.. Check about phone mine says 4.0.1 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
So this miui thing.... Enlighten me. Never tried it.... Lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Sorry for not much input the last couple of days, but reading, reading

and more reading for Kindle Fire.

I have two arriving on Friday so been following a bunch of different

threads on it.

death2all110 has already rooted it with SDK and SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.

Once I get them rooted will be back to SGS II

Still running RK KJ3 with speedmod s2 k2-18-test3

:D

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Build number 1.11.11

Dammmm ..... I guess I have the ginger miui. Is there actually much difference cause mine is running sweet.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Galnet miui Dan.... check it out . Its like a whole new phone again.... lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Don't think there is. All the apps are still 2.3.7, just framework is 4.0.1 I guess, but that might change soon as we have sources now.

I read that their stable builds will incorporate ics framework also and weekly builds will just go ahead with official miui releases.

It's all new to me also lol.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
Ooooh i like the sound!! Kids in bed later im on it!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marvinhemstock:
i just had 16hrs up time with 5% battery loss great rom ;)

Thanks, already have it.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
From kj3 kitchen ROM I used chainfires mobile Odin to flash the o2 xwkj1 worked really well, other than my phone reaching its 12GB limit, I have now formatted the int. sd, chainfires app worked on the stock kernel, although I do like the sound of a fully optimized miui ROM, I think out may work. They may optimize, although it takes time, so I will give it a go.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
The mobile Odin app gets even better. Just flashed from the stock kernel to Tegraks so I could try his 2nd core app
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I downloaded it, but haven't tried it yet.

Will try it over the weekend.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I like the sounds of that
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] js8:
The Galnet gang are from Scotland (it would seem)... so if they are not still upset about Culloden then perhaps they'll be happy for an optimized branch :)

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

.9 has the ICS framework.

.11 has the GB framework.

Both are running sweet on my phone. If you plan on upgrading with the weekly builds then just stick with .11

lttldvl has incorporated a hardware acceleration hack, which works with any apps that support hw acceleration. http://goo.gl/OujVQ

Galnet MIUI are working on a stable build that will incorporate ICS, but the weeklies will continue to use the full MIUI base from China.

Quote from Galnet the dev: http://goo.gl/4nu1t

"It will be more than a couple of days for the next ICS build, as we are going to start working on the Stable version which will include ICS by default.. The stables go through a lot of testing prior to being released to the public."
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
This thread is turning into a miui thread ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I was wondering who would be the first to moan :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] js8:
!

Yeah... but it is also the "Tricky and the RK Team have open minds, so they like to try all the ROMs to see what works best" Thread :eek:

Back in the i9000 days (oh soooo long ago!) we were even looking at an RK-CM7 variant :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] morphjk:
I'd read that the miui ROM has a ios feel is that correct?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
yes it does. the menu settings and no app launcher with apps on homescreens give you that effect.

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

haha :))

@js8

nah am fine with all ROMs. i was just saying . thats all.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yeah it kinda has an iOS feel to it with total customization. That's what I love about it. I mean, for example you can a have a certain theme running and have the status bar from another theme and end up with the best bits of 5 or 6 different themes all running at the same time. Mix'n'match is what its all about.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Exactly ! We will always give new roms a go and be open minded about it. Its easy nowadays to hop from rom to rom in a matter of minutes.

Roms have come a long way from when I had cm7 on the i9000 ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] morphjk:
I'll have a bit more of a look at it. Always interested in new things.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lynx2k50:
Tricky do you have time for KK1, android 2.3.6?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350424

Would be wonderful.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] js8:
Actually, I personally don't see much iOS-ness to the Galnet MIUI ROm... but...

The reason is probably that with pretty much every ROM (RK, CheckROM, CM7, MIUI) the first thing that I do is install Go Launcher. So I have never played much with the Galnet default launcher. Go Launcher retains all the settings, widgets, etc. so I have a familiar base interface. And I've never had any issues with FCs, stability, etc. using Go Launcher across all these platforms. [[May be the same with LP and others... I haven't checked them lately. I used to use ADW, but had occasional glitches getting it to work across different ROM platforms. ]]

As far as the notifications, settings, toggles, etc. in Galnet... I'm not sure I see any iOS-ness there. But I am finding Galnet to be really snappy when starting apps, loading content, etc. ... I would say notably faster than my KI4 and KJ3 builds on Sammy ROMs.

Re IOS: I mentioned some time ago that as a special treat for my iPhonic friends I keep Espier launcher handy... then in 5 seconds I can turn my RealPhone into an iPhone... and back again. Makes them feel cheated somehow, that we can downgrade to iOS-ness at will :~p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] morphjk:
I use GO Launcher as my launcher of choice on all of my roms so that is good if MIUI use it then that is good.

And from what I have read it is also good battery wise as well.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Heavily themed rom, I have stock running now.. I think I will pass on this, good that we have 2.3.6 all the same.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] js8:
Go Launcher is not the default launcher for GalnetMIUI ... but it does work fine :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] morphjk:
Oh right. Must've miss read that part.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Im actually using Go Launcher now for the last few weeks. It DOES Work well on all roms.

The miui default launcher is similiar to IOS in my opinion...and the settings pages and toggles.

IOS now even has the pulldown notification bar too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I flashed everything via mobile odin and got network locked popup.. anyways, nothing special except it is 2.3.6.. Back to gmiui for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] js8:
Yep... I think it is time for Google to sue Apple for copying their OS :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Metalkill:
Hi, I have a question regarding ki8. Ppl that phone me are complaining about hearing them self when calling me. Is this because I have a wrong modem for Norway? I have the default modem for ki8.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
I just flashed a modem over it and it cleared the network lock, but I couldn't stay on that rom. I had CM7 build 116 on my phone so I am now on this.

I will try to stay here for a minute although I can already feel the pull of miui :) I can't stand the CM7 dialer..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
Guys does the galnet mini has the no service bug?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Not for me (I have no idea what it is, but I have service all the time).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
i think it occurs when your running on 3g and get weak/low signal and it switched to Edge you'll lose signal but am not so sure tbh
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yes it does. Apparently it only happens if you reboot while connected to charger / usb .
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Have u tried rocket dial? That's what I'm using now. Miui dialer is cack too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Have you a casemate tough cover by any chance? It has been known to cause that problem.

If not, try another modem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I am at that situation all the time at home and didn't experience it yet. I had it once on Sammy rom, when after losing wifi signal phone didn't want to connect to data, but unticking and ticking data connection in settings solved it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Ah okey, I never reboot connected to a charger / usb so that's why I never experienced it :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Not tried Rocketdial, I will give it a go now. I like miui dialer as it has t9 predictive dialing,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yes..so does rocket dial ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Once I get the kids to bed I will try out the Optimized Miui, I have already optimized the files, just got to mix and match them, also think of the version name, not sure how Miui will take it having me play with the files, but I can only try :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Looking forward to Trickiest Miui out there :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Quite a few files to remove also :). Change the launcher, this could be fun.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
A few others have done it and renamed it so I don't see a problem
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Miui is nice but I hate the battery usage monitor don't like you have to reset it all the time otherwise it'll just show continuous usage.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yeah I've noticed that. Having said that....I'm at about 16 hours uptime with approx 3hrs screen time and 55% battery left. Not bad ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Optimized miui seems good, sending out via pm shortly to my selected few :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
No not yet, the latest Samsung roms have not enough of a performance gain over ki8, this is why we are off trying other roms.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
ahh screw pm messages :)

If Galnet dislike what I have done I will happily remove it, all credits to Galnet and Miui, I only spent a few hours on this..

Tonight I decided to modify the Galnet Miui rom, it is from the weekly 1.11.11, the rom is amazing already but I decided to optimize all of the apk files, and also remove many of the apk files from system/apps. The rom is available here and if you want any of the removed apps you can add them to the system/app folder before flashing, they are available here . This rom has zeam as the standard launcher, all of the png files are optimized even those that are removed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
Thanks tricky =)

not to be a moron or anything but would in it be better if u waited till tomorrow? wont MIUI release a new build on Friday? actually every Friday or i am mistaken?

Again thanks for your efforts
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TecQuality:
Clear, anyways i've a Q: i wont include the kernel in the cooked rom, is it possible?

Will wait for the latest optimized galnet miui from rom kitchen ;-) later today.

And on the dialers go dialer , ex dialer, touchpal dialer also work well. Only thing is certain USSD codes that work on default dialers won't work on them.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Not 100% sure I will be on it today, although it is so much easier to work with than a Sammy rom. With only 66 apps to play with,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Looks like I don't need to rush it out. I have never seen any of the bug fixes in here. https://mobile.twitter.com/miuirom/status/137429416790855680/photo/1

Can't wait to try this tonight!

Guys...its non wipe?

@therealwells .... how's b14 running? Is BT and backlight keys working ok again?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I wiped :D

what was the problem with bt and backlight so I can test?

I was a bit absent last few days due to sickness.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Bt car kits didn't connect on miui and cm7 from beta 7 onwards. Might be working now.

Backlightkeys keys wouldn't turn off afaik ..

That's why he had the last known good beta as beta 6 (which I'm still running).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Backlights seems to work fine now. BT car kit I don't have to test :(..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Can't find backlightkeys settings... dammmm...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
You mean something like in Sammy ROM to turn off after certain time? Don't think it exists in MIUI.

Nice thing about b14 is that lowest brightness settings are lower as in speed mod so I don't need to use screen filter app anymore.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Just trying it out now

EDIT... b14 working great :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
1.11.18 has already optimized at home (team viewer) :) I will get on with it later. Looks like it has no kernel either so what ever is on your phone will stay. Nice
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Very nice

Having some weird **** going on today. Getting high drain and betterbatterystats is pointing to GPS location provider (and I don't have gps on, network location on or maps installed. Then I go into root explorer to take a look and some if the folders are missing letters. A reboot sorted the missing letters but I'm wondering about the drain.

Yesterday I got about 30 hours , today ill be lucky to get 11 with less usage.

Guess who will be trying 1.11.18 tonight !!! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Me, me, me...

(aka therealwells)

:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Who are u ? :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Fully optimized alien. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Tricky have u tried 1.11.18 yet??

Anybody know what gpslocationprovider wakelock is related to?? I've no gps turned on or no gps apps installed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Evening. I have not tried 1.11.18, but I have optimized it and it is uploading now :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joaobarroso:
I have give a shot to galnet miui and try it again. Still the same for me, to hot and high battery drain. 100% loss in 24h.

With RK rom i get 48h with the same usage.

So i will return to RKrom KJ3 in this moment.

I need o new aspect to my phone but not " iphone " type =D
