[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
Automatic brightness bug is fixed in the 1.9.9 update.

Personally, every friday, I do a full MIUI backup, system (excl contacts) and apps, then format cache, data, and system. Then flash the new update. I find things are much smoother this way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tricky76:
Silverton do you then use backup to restore *all* your apps and system settings or are there some things you dont?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
I dig this out of all the miui so far. No reboots, built in governer, and fast.

How can I get voice commands to work for programs such as navigation? I notice in all miui that isn't present.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
That is great to hear. I'm so glad to find a great MIUI ROM that is fully functional and works absolutely AMAZING on my phone. After just about a full days use, with average usage, I'm still at 60% battery life. It doesn't get much better than that.

I was never a fan of the Tiamat or Umaro kernels, but used them simply because of the smartass governor. I always preferred pershoot's kernel and am glad that it comes stock on here without having to use setCPU to set it up.

How does this compare to your battery life on osimoods rom?

As battery life is my biggest problem I'm a heavy user and can fully drain the battery in 4-6 hours NOT Overclocked with gps wifi and bluetooth. Battery life in standby is awesome but aweful when screen is on. (Although cell standby is the biggest battry drainer for me)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
So far, the battery life has been much superior. As stated, I'm not a heavy user of the phone, just average of about 20-30 calls a day and about 2 hours (a few mins here and there) of Facebooking, with a few other tidbits thrown in here and there. My battery life is currently holding at 60% and running smoothly. Plus, with the Virtuous Overclock Controller, there is no need for setCPU at all which is an added extra bonus. Everything about this ROM just seems smoother.

With Carpe's Osimood ROM at about this same point, my battery life would probably be at around 40%. Nothing against his ROM though. It introduced me to MIUI and will always be one of my favorite ROM's ever.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Looking into a flashable patch for G2 users. The ROM is based on the DZ, which has a slightly different keyboard than us.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Download Google Voice Search from the market, that should restore the functionality you're missing. Maybe I'll include it in future builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks for sharing your experiences and stats for other users. People like you make things a lot easier to maintain these threads :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Patch 1 uploaded! It's in OP along w/ changelog. Fixes a few bugs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noble69:
Flashed the patch and lost all signal. Recoverd from my backup and got my signal back
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
That's really weird. Can anyone else confirm this? I tested the patch and didn't experience anything of the sort.

edit just thought of something, did you switch to a different kernel before flashing the patch?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noble69:
It happen right after I flashed it. I'm waiting right now to see if I lose signal again without the patch to see if its tmobile, but so far so good. I'm useing the latest radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Made an edit to my last post right before you replied, heh. Did you switch kernels prior to flashing the patch?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noble69:
Nope. The only thing I flashed over was the OC deamon, wificalling removal and extended settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks. None of those should break your radio. Mind trying to redownload the patch and flash it once more?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noble69:
Yea I'll try it right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Just had someone on IRC test it, patch worked fine for them -- no radio issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noble69:
So far so good. I downloaded it off the second mirror. Might have been corrupted
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
I didn't have that problem at all. I stuck with the stock kernel that comes with the ROM and everything is a-ok. Loving the new patch BTW.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
Hi!

might be a bit offtopic, but I've started a MIUI Guide

I would like to know that too before upgrade :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Update. ROM manager updated too
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HunnyBearLewis:
Thanks :D downloading now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
Also downloading now. I absolutely love this ROM and my brother, who's phone doesn't have MIUI yet, is always super jealous of my phone with this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shellin:
Updated and it's running smoothly :) all I did was wipe dalvik.

I can't seem to produce the auto brightness bug anymore, which is good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Only thing that stops me from using this rom is the My Number Unknown in about this phone issue. I have this problem with every MIUI rom. Is there a way to manually set it in this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SteveRiley:
Well, I came from MIUI.US without doing a full or data wipe. Just ran the script that converts to EXT4 and then flashed Bulletproof over existing ROM and it's working fine so far. I wiped only the cache and Dalvik cache.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HunnyBearLewis:
Flashed

Since it's Saturday and I'm not busy at all I decided to wipe everything for a clean install.

Everything looks good, just as smooth if not more so than last update :)

Not a big deal, but still having an issue where taking a picture with flash sets my brightness to 100% regardless of having Auto-Brightness on or not.

I seem to have lost root somehow... Coming from MIUI.us, fresh install... I get "Permission denied" in Terminal Emulator when I type "su" :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kara mustafa:
how to check cpu frequency? and can i install HTC-RIL_2.2.0098HM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Raul^:
There is info about Superuser on 1st post.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HunnyBearLewis:
If you mean to check what frequencies your min/max values are at:

Use Root Explorer, go to the folder "etc", then "virtuous oc", open whichever file your curious about in a text editor.

If you want to find out the available frequencies for the relevant kernels, they are on the second post of the first page.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Just flashed 1.9.9 and will report any issues if I encounter any. So far after initial reboot, no problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Oh, I was using the wrong Superuser app -_- my bad. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
I checked the "sleep_min_freq" setting and it's currently configured to 245 MHz, but from the OP it says it's been updated to 376 MHz. Shouldn't this have been configured as such in the 1.9.9 update? The file in question is this one...

/etc/virtuous_oc/sleep_min_freq
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HunnyBearLewis:
I thought the sleep_min was always at 245 MHz. I looked in the OP for anything about the sleep_min and nothing :( unless I'm blind. On the second to last update it mentioned the sleep_max being switched to 368 MHz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GetTargetedFans:
I'd like to know, from your experience, which of the recommended kernels gives you the longest battery life overall? CM7, Taimat, Pershoot, etc.? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Wow, my bad. I totally read it wrong. /embarrassed :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Surprised it took me this long to try MIUI but I just flashed it. Very different but its definitely intriguing. I'll have to see it after a few days of use.

So after installing things, the first thing I noticed was "my phone number" under "about" doesn't show up. Had this problem in CM7 and I could change it through the "call settings" but I can't seem to find the setting here... I see others have asked and got no real response. Anyone figured this out?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
it's been 2d and 7h since unplugged, and i got 60% battery left... havent done muvh tough, but the stanby time seems great.. whit the included pershoot... Time to update to 9.9

HI,

I'd rather use this ROM over the MIUI Android one if only I could find a way to add language input pack that includes italian and spanish...

Looked and researched but can't find a way.

Would it be possible in the next releases to include them or can anybody point me in the right direction?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Italian: http://www.nexus-lab.com/miui-rom-italian-packs/

Spanish: http://miui.es/

The only change you may need to make, is to edit the updater-script in the packs to mount /system as ext4. Let me know if you have trouble.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martinpescatore:
hi Tun4f1sh,

do you mean

ui_print("------------------------------------------------");

mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/system");show_progress(1, 10);

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

ui_print("Eliminazione applicazioni non necessarie.");delete("/system/app/AppShare.apk");

My battery life seems to have gotten worse after flashing 1.9.9, and my phone also seems to be running on the warm side (not all the time, just when I'm using it). Is it better sticking with the stock kernel or flashing an alternate one? I wasn't getting very good battery life before 1.9.9, but it does seem worse to me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Let's give this ROM a go and see what the fuss is all about... :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
I haven't noticed any change of battery life, but mine still has calibration issues. It stays on 100 for hours, then drops quickly to 40, then drains out normally. I've found charging it overnight, then manually calibrating the battery helps. I used to use the Tiamat kernel, which gave slightly better battery life, but if I missed a call, I would lose signal.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
This ROM seems to be making my phone heat up quite a bit at times. I had to drop the CPU max a little to improve it.

Also, you mention that ondemand is the best governor to use yet its not the default. So I had to change that too.

Its still early days though, so I'm not going to jump to conclusions here. I'll ride it out and see how it handles.

Does the Letter that shows up when a long alphabetical list is scrolled using the thumb scroller get stuck on the screen for anyone else?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
I've also noticed the phone getting a bit warm. I tried to edit the files in file expert and I'm having troubles getting it to work. It says "save fail" every time. (yes I have root permissions for file expert, etc.). I run CM7 at 806mhz and I would like to do the same for this. I think 1.1ghz its overkill honestly.

edit: using ES File Explorer made it super easy to change. File Expert was just being difficult. Dropped it down to 806400. I think it may be a bit low to run MIUI fluidly (lots of extra effects) but we'll see. I have to get a few more days of use before I see how the battery life is. I'm thinking something in the mid 900mhz area will be good.

Really? ondemand is the governor for both sleep and wake on mine. Haven't changed anything from a stock flash.

I'd tend to agree ondemand or interactive are the best. I use ondemand with CM7 with good results.

I absolutely LOVE the addition of the MI-Button. I no longer need to have a shortcut for my app drawer on the homescreen. Awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
What button is this? I tried pushin them all but get no results.. how exactly do I use this mi-button.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g1junky:
go to settings > system > button settings then scroll to the bottom and you'll see it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
That. You can set it up to pretty much open anything that you want it to. I love using it to open Alt Drawer.

When you have it set, the camera button on the side will become your MI Button. A quick press will open the app of your choosing and long pressing the camera button will open your camera.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
Found it thanks. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Well, to be honest. I didn't read the instructions on how to play with the daemon, so I just did it through SetCPU. So I think I dun goofed on that point. Lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Using SetCPU disables the daemon. You'd be better off uninstalling SetCPU and using the default daemon settings :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Don't use SetCPU it disables the daemon, which works fine so far.

Read the link on the first post, it explains how the daemon works and how to edit the files. Essentially there are just 8 text files you have to deal with to change it. 2 show the frequencies and governors available, and 6 show the frequencies and governors currently in use, navigate to them in a file explorer and edit them to change the clock speeds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Explosive:
Just to add to this.... if you're going to use the daemon controller app, you will need to edit the frequencies and governors in the text files correctly or the app will force close. So if you use a different kernel, find out the right frequencies and governors or the Rom/app will not run correctly.... =D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Yeah.

I noticed the Daemon how-to guide, after I messed around with SetCPU/No-Frills.

I've uninstalled both now and rebooted my phone and will play with the text files mentioned. :)

Let's hope I don't break anything!

On another note, my battery life has been pretty bad so far... O.o

I'm already down to 40% after not a lot of hours...around 5 to be exact...which definitely isn't normal.

But..I will wait it out and recharge later and see how I get on.

---EDIT---

Maybe I'm blind...

But I'm sure that there used to be some settings where you can set default applications, like browser, music etc.

Have they been removed? Or am I just looking in the wrong place? I'm sure it used to be under the "Applications" tab of Settings.

Or have they never been there, and I'm going crazy...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
It's in settings, programs, manage applications, then select the app you want to clear defaults on

So I updated to the newest bulletproof and still have problems with car mode turning on and off at completely random, is there any way to just remove the car dock functionality as I don't intend to use it anyhow. Also where do u want me to shoot the logcat? It has something to do with detecting being connected to a dock, even when the phone is no where near a dock. In fact the only time it doesn't do it is while it is plugged in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SashaSki:
Would also like to know where to find this feature.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Yeah I've noticed some strong drain too... even after clocking down to 806mhz.

Hmm looking into the battery use statistics, I think I have a wakelock problem. My blue bar for "awake" is almost completely solid. Are there any known wakelock issues on this ROM? Certain problem apps?\

could it be related to a lockscreen theme I've installed? On normal Android ROMs like CM7, the "awake" bar will only be lit up when the phone is actually awake... is MIUI different? Am I reading this wrong?

edit: I wiped and reflashed. I KNOW that its going to sleep properly now on a clean flash with no apps installed (but restoring settings with MIUI backup). Restoring some apps and things now and seeing if that changes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
Did a fresh install and everythings running smooth, no issues, no battery problems. Thanks for all the hard work. :) I will say thou it seems I have to do a fresh install to avoid issues, if I wipe cache I get fc all the time after updatin. No biggie since the miui.us backup feature saves everything I just have to reload 4 widgets. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Same here. Did a full wipe and it's running very well. Battery life doesn't seem anything unusual (I'm on the Tiamat kernel though).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
I think the battery drain has calmed down now.

Maybe playing music via Bluetooth is killing it.

Although, I was still able to finish a day's work with at least 40% battery.

It also might be because for some reason, my bluetooth headset would rather open the stock music player and play from there rather than just work with Winamp which is already playing music resulting in double battery drain..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccb04:
Is there a way to change the volume from vibrate and silence without going into the setting?? Example..Holding the volume button down to put it in silent and another time down to vibrate like in the CM roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Why not slide down the notifications and click the Sound icon?

Actually, holding down volume slides all the way to silent for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
Agreed.. and gives you some options when you keep it held down for a second..

Or just use an app like audiomanager...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Quoting myself because I think I've fixed my problem. I did a complete wipe and reflash of the ROM, restored my settings backup and some select apps, but left a couple out. I think it solved my wakelock issue. Not sure but I think! Its sleeping normally as of now, but I'll know in an hour or so if its gonna keep sleeping properly.

mmm not looking good. Going to keep it unplugged overnight and see how often it wakes etc. somethings just not right. i should never see this kind of battery drain casually using the phone on WiFi.

I think I fixed some things by re-flashing, like the launcher and a few apps are no longer 100% awake, etc. I have a feeling that lockscreen mods might have been causing launcher wakelock issues.

I think the phone might be staying awake while charging... charged over night and the awake bar was solid the whole night. Unplugged for 45min and it was sleeping properly while on battery power. Really weird. And no, I don't have "stay awake while charging" turned on in dev settings.

Any of you guys still getting lockups when playing music?

I've had it happen to me a few times, both with the stock MIUI music player and Subsonic. I managed to snag a logcat of the lockup occurring, but it looks to be something on the system (inherited from MIUI proper) level. I've also read reports of people on the MIUI.us version having the issue, so I'm wondering if it's a problem with their recompiled APKs. /shrug

Just looking to get some feedback from other users.
