Hey guys.. If you guys are interested, i've made a guide on how to install swype on this ROM: http://neurra.blogspot.com/2011/08/installing-swype-on-galnetmiui-twooey.html
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raulinho7:
still its quite good results, especially with wifi ON very often.

it wasnt like that 2-3 months ago :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zolah:
Yes it is good.

I get 2-3 days out of darkyy rom with very very little use. ( i tried not to use my phone once from a full charge to see how it lived ).

So this is comparable to custom stock roms which is a MAJOUR achievement.

A friend of mine is still running an older version of Galnet MIUI and is getting less than 1 day battery with hardly any use. ( He doesnt know how to use odin so he needs to come to my house to get him on GB BL for him lol ).

Regards to Batt life:

There are many factors for batt to drain and there is only so much you can squeeze from a 1500mAh batt on a gorgeous 4 " Amoled screen.

Firstly is definitely screen brightness, using it at the lowest brightness is batt saving but not pleasing to view at. using auto will varies esp if you are using it outdoor.

Secondly and most importantly is 3G connection. a simple sync can cost you 5-10% if you are at a bad reception area. also when some apps "malfunction" you could be syncing useless data for some time.

Pigs really can't fly. i was overseas and without 3g my phone can last 3 days with some gaming and lots of photo n video shooting.

since 2.3.4 the batt life is already amazing.

cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lttldvl:
Awesome! Would it be ok for either you to post it in the guides section of the galnetmiui forum, or for me to add it in?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mdfaiz:
does deleting "telocationprovider.apk" in /system/app have any effect? i heard that it causes problems/batt drain. true?

anyone tried it?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burner07:
I am expirencing a nasty problem in gameloft games.. but i think is a prob with gingerbread.:

in games like nova or rainbow six Multitouch isn`t working correctly ...

when i use the joystick to move (holding the finger on the screen) and then using the other hand to look in game (move the camera) after releseasing the joystick (but still pressing the screen with the other hand ) the camera gets stuck i need to release both hands... and vicevers (holding right hand on screen for camera then using the joystick)

I hope you understand what i sed its very anoying.

thx
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
I know what you mean:

you can't properly move around more than 1 finger on the screen in a decent way (?)

I've also observed this with doodle dash

there seems to be a kind of "low resolution / refresh rate" issue with the screen that it doesn't react fast enough to that kind of stuff

but e.g. not with Gun Bros

so it might be the way how the games handle this internally or an issue with the touchpad driver

does this also happen on stock (samsung) roms ?

also check whether this happens on cm7 [afaik it also did for me]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burner07:
i saw this on stock ginger jvq/jvr and miui cm7 didnt test but on 2.2.1 i dont have this problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Moudii:
Haha Zach love your Samuel L Jackson signature, been using tapatalk so much I've missed it until now! Should get the point through! :D

Back to topic, All you people with FC and battery issues must be doing something wrong. I have had no such problems. Well, battery will always be a problem on this phone but compared to other MIUI builds until now its good if not great!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
I haven't had these problems and I have multiple gameloft games such as Nova 2, Rainbox Six, Real Football 2011 HD, Spiderman Total Mayhem and Modern Combat 2 which all work fine for me. Also when playing Tegra 2 Games such as Samurai 2 they also work and so does fruit ninja which when I'm playing zen mode I have 3 fingers on the screen and I randomly swipe.

Edit: I tested and this problem only happens if you press the joystick first and then hold the camera and let go of the joystick. The only way I was able to reproduce this was following your instructions exactly and never happens to me if I play normal as I have already complete the first 2 missions without problems in Rainbox Six.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lirkaren:
Is there any oc/uv kernel for this rom with BLN?

Wanted Glitch kernel but it seems like the latest version don't work with this rom.

About the issue with fc previously mentioned by other people including me, I'm starting to get this issue more often: twlauncher, browser, gapps, goweather widget and many others get force closed..... have to restart the phone to temporarily fix it but it come back again in one - several hours after that....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexhull24:
Been running Twooey II since release, no major issues at all. I did lose 23% battery last night and the phone died, but I think I must have left an app running or something and I didn't clear the memory as recommended. Otherwise I've easily been getting 2 days + out of the phone and idle drain has been minimal.

I swapped the theme for one called East Jade. That's really my only criticism, the Twooey II theme is not for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hieber:
Make sure you check that they aren't installed on SD.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] poundesville:
I tried it and see improvement on my battery life.

I use titanium backup to make a backup of it and then uninstall it. Tb doesn't allow me to freeze it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TerraBuzz:
Hello...

I've had this FC problems too. Gmail, Market, Kaiten, Whatsapp, Facebook, etc. Restarting seems temporarily solved the issue, but it will appear again.

Then I tried to move every apps that can be moved to SD Card, starting from the biggest one such as Earth, Opera, Firefox, etc. Using built in application manager.

Somehow, this solved the problem and I have no FC anymore...

camera

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7267

Many improvements to the camera in cm7. It has not been aproved yet but the changes look promising (quoting changelog):
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
they were all installed to the phones memory, i tried moving to SD it still force closed, I ended up doing a factory reset and un installing the apps that FC and re installing them through the market.

all is working well so far, Havent noticed the signal issue YET !!

i dont know why i keep updating lol, everything was fine for me on galnet v4... i just have to have the latest release
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Shad88:
No, I just use it like a normal phone, like anwser SMS, call, sometime I go on the net, Market, Facebook, check mail etc...Even if it just stanby, it's just too nice for a Miui Rom.

Galnet said he has reported 48% remaining after 2 days.

I just confirm it, ~60% remaining after 2 days for me:

I'll try to run for 3rd day now.. xD
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] phalanger:
Well I'm glad atleast some people get great batterylife.. personally I don't get anything near that. With 2G and very little actual use, I get 2 days maybe, but with 3G and sync and heavy use, it sometimes doesnt even get past 10 hours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BlitterTwisted:
I am not sure where to go with Galnet at the moment. Was running v3 for a long time and was very happy. Upgraded to v6 recently and it's clearly quicker but I've got chinese text in numerous places i.e. phone app, and get some random reboots. Also the browser is flaky

Are the Twooey releases better than v6?

Otherwise I'm thinking of going back to CM7 as I like the extra browser features, but I have having to manage all the desktop shortcuts myself, I prefer the iPhone style way you get with MIUI/Galnet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thierrz:
Better? DUDE! Twooey will open a whole new world for you! It's such a big improvement, it's much faster, much more stable and the battery drain is fixed!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] utsmaster18:
Don't know why but now the phone is freezing a lot leading to me reboot a couple of times. I don't OC/UV so I know its not related to that. I didn't even install anything. For some reason it just decided that it won't be as smooth or quick as before and now when uninstalling or moving app to sd, it will just freeze leading to another reboot.

As much as I like miui I think I'm going to try CM7 again as I read they also fixed the GB BL and I'm guessing their battery probably got better as well. Hopefully the next time I come back to MIUI it will be even better than it is now.

Great job guys on Twooey II. Keep up the good work.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mrbuzz1967:
I'm afraid I have a confession to make. Last night I strayed from the path of galnet miuiness in order to try another "amazing fast and stable" rom. However after 2 hours of use this morning I realised the error of my ways and re flashed twooey v2. Please forgive my errant behaviour and welcome me back to the galnet miui family!

nice, plugged in the usb charger and no sd (int/ext) recognized. phone froze then rebooted :(

did another battery test this time with 3G(HSDPA) data ON...didnt last even for 7h, it's ridiculous...but expected from any i9000 ROM not just MIUI.

on 2G data i easily got 2 days

offtopic: does anyone have the Meizu M9 theme in the new format?

nevermind, get it from here: http://db.tt/F937lY2

This has already been covered in this thread, go back and read. Or just delete the TelocationProvider.apk in the system\app folder. Then you should see an improvement in battery life. As for the reboot, beats me.

Regards to sd reboot:

if you have ext sd in yer phone you will get reboot once awhile when mounting...

also some themes will increase occasion reboot so just change theme and try it out.

i personally i feel is the ext sd that is causing the prob as my wife has no reboot as she does not hav an ext sd.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:

British humour for you!... (But if you do leave again you WILL be banned!!!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zerozoneice:
I removed it long time ago mate.

The 6-8h range on a full charge with Hsdpa is consistent across all roms i tried on this phone. It simply can't do more. Full stop.

I suspect its a hardware/driver issue, it can't be that there's such a huge difference between 2G and 3G in range...2 days vs 6h on the same configuration and usage pattern. My "old" 3GS holds for 3 days on 3g network. Even an iphone4 easily does 2days with even heavier data connection usage than mine.

Afaik 2g (gsm network) is in the 900mhz range, while 3g/hsdpa is around 1800/2100mhz. The antenna/driver/kernel/power mgmt/etc implementation simply gets out of control when switching to higher frequencies.

Its almost like the stupid phone switches to 2100mhz cpu speed instead of radio frequency :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jermu^:
Idle drain is very low, but now that I've used the phone for about an hour of 3g, battery has gone from 100% to 46%. I don't think v6 drained that quickly. I have been on Twooey II since it was launched so shouldn't be a calibration issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kally:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jedi5diah:
whenever you flash...using cwm for theme/updates etc is consider flash.

so therefore it will "screw" the batt stats a little...

stablised after 4 full cycle then batt will be accurate.

Question:

Can i flash Galaxian on this rom? thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] radatia:
I have exactly the same experience, to the nearest hour, with respect to battery life and 3g / 2g across all roms / modems I have tried.

Leaving 3g on my phone drains incredibly quickly, even when in deep sleep (unless wifi is also connected). Have never solved this, wonder whether I have a faulty phone when I read other posts - it's not even about high / low usage, just that 3g drains excessively even when not being used.

I like your theory on cpu speed!

Back on to this Rom - awesome work, smoothest and quickest I have ever experienced my phone, and the best I can say about battery is that it matches my experience on stock....just wish the 3g issue was solved!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jehan1:
Anyone knows how to reset the proxy settings? I've entered a proxy but apparantly now it crashes all the time and can't get back in to change it.

Is there a way via ADB shell to delete the string or any other method (but not factory reset)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superbar:
any solutions for the 720p recording?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zerozoneice:
the biggest difference between cm7/miui and stock is that on stock you can force 3G instead of HSDPA (data icon shows 3G instead of H) via secret code.

3G drains less power/battery than full speed HSDPA, it's a known and tested fact.

in cm7/miui you can't and never will :(

add to this the camera issues (fixed center focus, low light stutter, 720p recording issues, skipping frames, etc) and for me the those 2 things are probably eventually going to drive me nuts and make me go back to stock. I personally don't care if my phone looks better and has more customizations than stock if it can't last 8h on a full charge.

Being able to force 3G instead of HSDPA would buy me another 3-4h easily which means i can unplug in the morning, dont worry about it the whole day and recharge in the late evening.

the hell with that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zerozoneice:
yea, go back to stock ROM.

anything else is a lame workaround atm...great effort from the devs, but still far away from stock experience.

imho the reason is: cm7 would need to either integrate samsung frameworks (which probably never will) or reverse engineer the code to write own camera app and subsystem which uses hw acceleration for a start. But for that you need to know how the drivers are written, which is afaik closed code...and for a good reason.

you either look at a black box and try to figure out how it works by looking what's put in and what's getting out.

or you need to learn and have access to the GPU HW specs and and write own code to make an app that does the same thing as a "stock camera app" and framework

it's kind of like you're trying to debug x86 code without having the 8086 architecture manual, instruction set, registers, bla, bla bla.

http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/

have a look here and see how a hardware error is found by examining the result of what "should be"...and this is w/o knowing 100% how the processor works internally:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ntdebugging/archive/2011/06/29/a-classic-case-of-whodunit.aspx

@devs: feel free to challenge this theory if you think it's nonsense :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] radatia:
Forcing 3G instead of HSDPA helped me only slightly when I was on stock, but I still preferred using 2G to ensure I had enough juice at the end of the day - I only switched to 3G when I was away from wifi and needed quick data (generally maps usage - double hit on battery!).

However many others seem to have no issue leaving 3G / HSDPA on permanently and achieving 24 hours + battery......I couldn't achieve that even with no widgets / apps running / zero display use on any rom. I think there is a batch of I9000's with a faulty radio of which I have one.....

Therefore on 2G, MIUI / CM7 roms are as good as stock for me, notwithstanding the camera issues (I borrow the wife's iphone when the toddler does something cute!).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yaatzek:
I read somewhere that when you disable hsdpa on stock, and then flash miui it will be still blocked. Havent try it, but it could work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zerozoneice:
i tried it, it didn't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fishiness:
I'm very happy with Twoeey II. After all the tweaks (disable autosync, telelocation, etc..), battery life is comparable to stock. Also it's silky smooth and beautiful. I won't go back to the ugly stock rom.

Thanks Galnet and team :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ujjwal321:
here's my review after using miui for about 2 months

pros:

1. looks beautiful, totally different from the stock one.. so if you get bored with the stock android look, you can completely change your phone without sacrificing much features.

2. some features like file manager, call screen, incoming caller pictures, notification bar, messaging app, dialler app, backup app, data usage, are better than any ROMs.

3. theme support is awesome.. you can completely change the way the phone looks..

now the cons:

1. battery life though better than before is not good.

2. I get random force close and reboots.. (1-2 times a day)

3. the biggest problem for me is that the audio quality is not as great as the stock ROM with voodoo.. I don't know the reason here.. with voodoo sound I think there should not be any difference in audio quality..

4. video playback and video recording is nowhere near the samsung ROM.

5. lack of FM radio..

6. lack of TV out support.

so basically MIUI adds tremendous value to galaxy S.. the ability to switch between two phones (ROMSs) is what makes android great... I usually switch between MIUI and other custom ROMS almost every week..

long live MIUI and long live galnet and all the devs working on galaxy S.. with your support I am planning to use galaxy S for yet another year..

Sorry but it's back to Darkys until you sort that out.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Higadeb:
While I apprechiate what you're saying. I don't see how you can do a review on MIUI based on two months of experience with it. A new version comes out pretty much every week! It's changing all the time. I've used MIUI since the start of May and still don't think I could put a review together that covers MIUI as a whole.

Anyway, here is my view on the things you've said...

1) Battery is actually very good if you follow the full clean install guides. I've used my phone a reasonable amount today, 11hrs unplugged 2hrs of screen usage, 25min music and 15mins calls and am currently on 79%. Yes, stock ROMs may be better, but there is no shame in the above performance battery wise.

2) Again, follow the clean install guides. I've only had a FC in Google+ but I restored that in TB, since installing it fresh from the market I've had no issues.

3) I admit, the audio did used to be a dud. There were lags and blips everywhere. But not currently (fingers crossed it stays this way), I'm using Neo 16 & Voodoo Plus and the sound is top draw. Maybe it isn't so strong with the stock kernel? I don't know.

4) Video playback is good if you use diceplayer. It's a bit costly but it does work. Other players I agree, do seem to have issues. Video recording too is sadly lacking atm, it's actually worse than it used to be :s

5 & 6) Greatly missed :( sadly I don't think we'll see either of these too soon either. Fingers crossed though.

So there you go, just my 2p. Feel free to completly ignore me or rip my arguments to shreads if it pleases you :rolleyes:
