I am not having a problem with mine in the same manner as you. I cannot get tethering to work at all. It always says USB not connected even when it is.

A couple other issues I've ran into:

1. Setting notifications will set ringtones to silent even if you pick something. Once you select one it shows up as silent. Not sure why. Works fine when you use music to select a ring tone rather than theme manager.

One thing I did notice about this is if you go to theme manager and change ringtones there it will say "Successfully Applied" and have a button that says Apply while changing the setting in a app it says Select and there isnt a confirmation.

2. Some system settings don't seem to stick unless the phone is rebooted. I turned off the wireless notification setting and it kept coming back up until i rebooted then it stayed off. Same with bluetooth settings and some other ones

I'm more concerned with the first problem as now a lot of my notifications are silent
[Droid X Android Development] JagoX:
Funny...not having any of those problems (haven't used tethering though since I have no need for it.) Weird! :confused:

Are you running 1.7.29?
[Droid X Android Development] JagoX:
Guess you miss the statement a couple 2-3 posts ago where I said I was using 1.7.22.1? :rolleyes:

I'm not applying 1.7.29 until the chinese character issues get fixed plus even though I don't use the DND features, I'd prefer that it get fixed too just in case I need it. Even though USB is acting up, I can still use the FTP server built into the File Explorer.

I feel compelled to post about my battery life since flashing since everyone seems be having issues. I came from Liberty 2.01 FroYo, and my battery life easily extended by 50%.

I made sure to fully charge before flashing, and wiped battery stats during flashing. I can charge my phone, and with minimal to occasional use it will be at around 30% the same time the next day. I have disabled quite a few programs from auto updating and such, so that may have something to do with it.
[Droid X Android Development] will4958:
I've been playing with this rom for a little while, and so far the only problem I have with it is that I can't get the a2sd to work. I've wiped data and dalvic twice, formatted the memory card with an ext3 of 512 and 0 swap, and flashed the dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip. I really like this rom and would like to keep it, but if I can't get a2sd to work, I'll have to restore my cm7 backup. I know there should be an update coming this week, but if anyone has any ideas on how to get the a2sd thing to work, it'd be appreciated. Oh, and for some reason I keep getting an i/o error when trying to restore a backup through My Backup Root. Again, any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Droid X Android Development] curtdragon:
I'm not getting an I/O error but backups are getting stuck at Backing up System...

I think my SD card is going so I ordered a new one. I will see if that helps
[Droid X Android Development] TheYar:
Battery life will be inconsistent after flashing a ROM. Any ROM. It may seem to suddenly drain fast, or it may seem to suddenly sip slowly. 99 times out of 100 (and yes I've flashed at least 100 times on various Android devices), the issue is battery stats. And charging to 100 and wiping stats does not fix this. Charging to 100 before a flash, and wiping stats after, basically guarantees a couples of things: 1) you'll likely experience rapid battery drain for the first few days on the ROM, and 2) it will go back to normal faster than it would if you hadn't charged and wiped.

There just isn't a whole lot a ROM can do that would affect battery. Screen, processor, and antennae; these are what use battery, and unless there is an error of some sort, they aren't going to vary much from one ROM to the next. The battery is a chemical thing, the screen and radio and chip are largely physical. Other than something blatantly churning CPU or radio in the background, a ROM isn't going to change how much juice the chip and antennae use, at least not drastically.

OSMonitor would show you anyway. It will tell you if anything's using a lot of CPU or radio.

There are exceptions. Notably, non-stable releases of CM usually have a lot of debug code and logging enabled, which is turned off in a stable release. This adds an overhead to CPU, which can cause a noticeable but un-huge difference in battery drain. From time to time, a wifi config or a gallery app has been known to chew battery for no apparent reason. And research does indicate a small, but significant difference in battery usage across different ROMs on the same device regardless. But again, 99/100, it's probably just the after-effects of flashing a new ROM. Spend several days with it, charing to 100 and draining to shut-off whenever you can, and then consider your battery usage.
[Droid X Android Development] PimpShit420:
I'm going to have to disagree. There are A LOT of things someone can put into a rom to change the way ot affects the battery such as build.prop edits. How long does it take to scan for wifi just for a quick instance. Also flashing a rom puts its specific kernel on your phone and switching kernels effects battery stats as well. I know I do small kernel changes on all ROMs I make. mute point though...ROM does effect battery life big time and MIUI is a decent ROM for battery life. I'm running it on three different phones and have had good battery life on all three with the Moto getting better then both HTC's

Does anyone know how to get the camera button to work
[Droid X Android Development] curtdragon:
Doesnt work at all?

What phone?

If it is the X then you need to go into the settings once and change the resolution Anything but 6M (3264x1840)
[Droid X Android Development] midnight93933:
I meant the hardware button
[Droid X Android Development] will4958:
I just had a thought... could the problem I'm having with My Backup Root producing an I/O error have anything to do with my ext3 only being 512 MB. My latest backup was done while still running cm7 and no ext of any kind, with the final size of said backup being 1.3 gigs. To me it sound plausible, considering I just successfully restored at lest two apps. I could be totally wrong about this, so if someone could verify this for me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for any help.

anyone having a problem with theme manager force closing?
[Droid X Android Development] will4958:
I've found that if you go to Edit Theme under Theme Manager and choose Status Bar, you can download any theme you want. After you download your chosen theme, press the back arrow key to get back to Theme Manager's default window and your download should be there. Just click on it and then click Apply, after choosing all your theme options. It worked for me, should work for you.

Edit: I forgot to mention that you can mix-and-match your themes, too. I have one theme on my phone with the lock screen from another with a different background not related to either one. Long live MIUI and Droid x!!!!

[Droid X Android Development] tranoidnoki:
LOVING this rom! It's better than Liberty 2.1 and all of the stock ROMs I've dealt with. The battery life seems to be the most solid out of any smartphone I have used to date! I DO have a couple of issues with the ROM.

-The keyboard! I think the big letters are rather ugly. How do you revert the keyboard to something a lot less ugly?

-Notification sounds do not work. When trying to set them in apps (ie facebook and twitter apps) they select, but stay set to "Silent". Is there a way to fix this? Or do I have to wait for an update?

My method, for people that were curious. I don't use any app backup programs, etc. I SBFed back to stock .340 from Liberty, rooted using z4root and recovery using droid X bootstrapper. I then wiped data/cache, and flashed the rom. No bootlooping, no nonsense, came up without any issue. Tweaked the brightness settings and such, and here we are! Runs great! Keep up the great work!
[Droid X Android Development] lancem71:
What is the total size of this download? Mine stopped at 100mb. My thunderbolt ROMs average 317mb. Just want to make sure before I flash.

Thanks.

MIUI Issues Please help

For starters, im running a DX, MIUI 1.7.29, if i reboot the phone it comes up fine, however if i try to flash D2 Bootstrap since the DX one apparently wont work, if i bootstrap the recovery and click reboot recovery, it gets stuck at the Motorola M logo forever. Only way i can get into recovery is by holding down the Home button and still brings me back to the stock recovery and if i wipe it doesnt do anything and i need to SBF back. Which will make it impossible to upgrade even using Rom manager whenever this is fixed. Also, Theme Manager force closes every time. If i attempt to System Update, it force closes as well.

Also, not that big of a deal, but the caps button makes the text of the keys entirely too big for the button. Also, i get notified that i recieve a text message after i send one which makes it really confusing sometimes to know wether or not i have a text message.

Any guidance would be great, i would hate to have to SBF again. If i cant access recovery then i think i will just go back to Stock rooted until all the bugs are worked out.
[Droid X Android Development] ardeleon09:
For miui you don't use the dx or d2 recovery you have to download rom manager and flash the droid x 2nd init recovery. The keyboard text is due to the rom more than likely it will be fixed friday. And for the messaging under settings you might have delivery reports on turn that off and it should solve that. Hope everything helps
[Droid X Android Development] Xylems:
THANK YOU! :)

As Far as updating, should i just use the Update Rom button on Rom manager ( i have premium).

Also, DND mode does not work and neither does the theme manager any intel on that?
[Droid X Android Development] ardeleon09:
I wouldn't know about using the rom manager for updates I know people do if you have premium I say go for it. The theme manager and dnd are also bugs with .29 if you want the best experience I'd change to .22 and then patch to 22.1 or you can wait for friday and see what update comes out. Glad I could help :)

[Droid X Android Development] Xylems:
The current bugs are not really impacting me i think i will wait till friday because i dont really want to redownload all my apps again and sync email and calendar and contacts and update etc etc etc. lol

Again thanks a load for the help.

I know this is the DX forum, but my friend was trying out MIUI for D2G and the only issue he was experiencing is that he could not turn off airplane mode. Do you have a fix for that maybe or do you think its a glitch that needs to be fixed by the devs?
[Droid X Android Development] Xylems:
Lastly, Do i have to install the wireless tether app or is it cooked in somewhere? Under Tethering and Portable hotspot all i see is the USB tethering.
[Droid X Android Development] will4958:
Is anyone else having trouble with Swype on this rom? I followed the instructions exactly for installing it on MIUI.us, but when I bring up the keyboard for the first time, it says it'll function with limitations due to an improper license. The keyboard works, you just can't swyp with it, it works like any regular keyboard.
[Droid X Android Development] DroidXChat:
ive only read this page so ill just make a few comments:

1) can't use either droid boostrapper with a 2nd-init rom (neither miui nor cm7), you have to use rom manager. if you get stuck at bootloop, just sbf back to froyo and reinstall miui.

2) the sound after sending a text message is an indicator that the recipient received it successfullly, this can be turned off in settings

3) DND mode is fixed already (i was given a new AntiSpam.apk by nix himself, which got rid of the force close) he will be including it in tomorrow's update

4) android keyboard shoudl be fixed tomorrow (the big letters), along with a million other little bugs

5) swype keyboard licensing issue means you didnt install correctly, you should download the swype installer from swype's website on your phone, then reinstall and make sure you hit "generate license", that will fix it

6) wireless tether was removed purposely but there is some talk of readding it since someone got it working on android 2.3.5 (which tomorrow's upgrade is based on)

screen capture

just flashed this MIUI ROM onto my X and i love it, but i cant find screen captures. I hold the menu button then volume down. I hear the picture noise and then look for the screeen shot but i cant find it. in the MIUI folder on my sd card there are no images. i made a screenshot folder and still nothing. can anyone help me out? also...i heard updates come out on friday...but when i go to settings and look for new update i get a foreclose.
[Droid X Android Development] ardeleon09:
More than likely with D2G its with the port or the devs if no one else is experiencing it on that phone it may be a bad download or other small things like that. Don't take my word for it though since I don't use that device.

Wireless tether isn't built in in the current builds, but like DroidXChat said it might be added.

I installed swype a different way it works for me the only problem I have is when I reboot I have to make swype the primary keyboard again. I first install a back up of the swype with TB then I make sure it comes up it won't let you type/swype anything it'll just flash I reboot into recovery and then flash stygian swype (its a black and grey themed swype)

If your one .29 the screen shots are broken I'm currently running .22.1 and they are working fine. I did run into that problem on .29

[Droid X Android Development] CashmereEsquire:
For some reason the Camera does not work for me, smh I really want to use this, but I guess I`ll wait for fixes.
[Droid X Android Development] Xylems:
It does work, just the default setting is jacked up. Go to the camera then go to camera settings and change it to anything thats not 6M. I suggest 5M works for me
[Droid X Android Development] Xylems:
also, 1.8.5 is the next update and it should be out either tonight or tomorrow. Since its a port instead of what the MIUI staff actually works on, it takes longer to get it out. Ive seen forums that say its normally saturday for D2 and DX.
[Droid X Android Development] CashmereEsquire:
thanks, I assume there is no support for the physical camera button?
[Droid X Android Development] andrewp3481:
How will I be able do update if when I go to system updates it forecloses? I hope there is a patch zip I can't just install. Any news yet on an update?

Anyone getvthe built in screen capture to work? Hold menu plus volume down. I get the sound but cannot find it on sd card. Anyone have this feature working? So far that and the 16:9 camera option are only bugs left that I can see. The miui team has done a very good job of updating and improving on their ROM.
[Droid X Android Development] curtdragon:
I have the same issue. It is supposed to go into the MIUI folder but it doesnt.

Browser from 1.7.29

I personally prefer the browser from the 1.7.29 build better than the update. I've posted it below for those who like it better. Just flash it in Clockwork recovery and it's back..
[Droid X Android Development] piiman:
Well I messed with it for a while and finally got out terminal emulator typed "reboot recovery" and it booted to v4 and it now does it as it should from RM. go figure.

I Don't know what caused it or what fixed it but I'll remember the cache thing if I have trouble again.

I did find both recoveries (v2 and v4) in zip form that RM had downloaded and I was going to flash it but thought I would try the emulator thing first and that worked so didn't have to. Anyways I now have a zip of v4 that I can flash from now on.

Thanks for the tip!
[Droid X Android Development] curtdragon:
Current issues:

1. Text message order messed up. I will have a text from someone hours ago as the first in the list when I texted 2-3 other people after that.

2. ClockworkMod Recovery does not back up (4.0.0.5). It sits on backing up system data and won't go past that. I tried reflashing the recovery and even bought a new SD to see if that would help.

3. As mentioned before screen shot app makes noise like it takes a screen shot but the picture is nowhere to be found.

4. Wireless tether missing. Wired tether doesnt work

5. Not a bug but a request. Anyway to set Google Search instead of the built in search when the hard search button is pressed?

6. Ringtone issue. When you try to change it the only selections are the default ones. You can't set your own ringtone unless you go into the music app and long press a song from there. (All other app notifications give you the option of using Theme manager or music to choose but the call settings dont)

7. When sending a text message you type in the name and it lists number but doesnt show what number is home cell etc

8. Toggles don't work well. Either they don't do anything or they do what they should for a split second then revert back
[Droid X Android Development] infazzdar:
I don't use the stock MIUI texting app, so I can't comment on those issues.

2. ClockworkMod v4 backs up perfectly fine for me.

3. I've also had this issue.

4. Same issue; however, I use the wireless tether app.

5. My search function uses Google search, you can set it to by pressing the menu button and going into settings while in the search window.

6. Can't comment on this.

7. Can't comment on this.

8. All of my toggles work perfectly fine with no issues whatsoever.

Which version of MIUI are you running, by the way?
[Droid X Android Development] curtdragon:
For 5 I meant the actual Google Search app.

I am running 1.8.5. The most current version.

[Droid X Android Development] MahaVoodoo:
Thanks to Curtdragon!

I'll wait until thethering issue would be resolved.
[Droid X Android Development] curtdragon:
What I did was

SBF

Wipe data

Z4Root

D2Bootstrapper

MIUI 1.7.22.1

Install ROM Manager

Flash to ClockworkMod 4.0.0.5

Install current MIUI

You might be able to skip/replace step 4 with installing ROM manager and flashing to 4.0.0.5 and then install the current MIUI but I have not tried it that way so I can't confirm it works
[Droid X Android Development] C0L7:
There seems to be an issue with the camera on the latest 1.8.5 anyone else have this issue?
[Droid X Android Development] infazzdar:
My camera is functioning just fine, what seems to be your problem?
[Droid X Android Development] JagoX:
I've never had a problem installing Swype although I have had that "limited functionality" issue come up if I try to use it right after installing it.

Installing Swype then rebooting fixes the problem...this has worked on both the DX and Dinc versions of MIUI.

Updated Browser

So the browser that was included in 1.7.29 was an older version of the Miren Browser. I have updated the newest Miren Browser and stuck it in the attached zip. If you liked the browser before the 1.8.5 update you will love this one. It will replace your current browser with the Miren browser just flash the zip in clockwork recovery...

Anybody having any issues with data loss? I recently had some issues where I would loose service (No Service) message. I then updated the baseband from .07 to .12 and the No Service issue seemed to be fixed and my signal looked to be better. Now I'm getting no data errors. This is very intermittent.

Before I did the baseband update I backed-up and did a data wipe/cache and then reload the backup.

Anybody else experiencing similar issues or any ideas?

I have heard that pretty much any 2nd-INIT Roms have signal issues.

Thanks.
