2 issues

hey guys,

about to upgrade to 1.9.30, but i had a question about 2 problems i've been having since the most recent version (23)

1) whenever i upload a photo to facebook, it shows two uploads in my notifications, one of them finishes the other gets stuck at 40% and doesn't go away until i reboot. i wiped cache & davlik before flashing 1.9.23 so i don't think wiping cache is it...

2) i have it set to google search when holding the search button (instead of the miui assistant or whatever its called... sidekick... whatever). but also, since 1.9.23, whenever i search for something, it finds it and then force closes the search. at first it was only happening a couple times here and there but now its every time.

any ideas?

Is it possible to use Tiamat's updated kernel with this rom? It's version 1.1.3

Also, is anyone else having issues with the Power Control Widget? I can place it on my homescreen but its blank o_O
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codf4ther:
Pure Messenger widget doesn't seem to like 9.30 for some reason. The scrollable widget won't load, even after clearing app data.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
advanced clock widget and pure calendar widget don't seem to load either...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arich:
I went into the LauncherPro settings and tweaked some of it's memory usage defaults, things are snappier now but I still sit at 36mb of free ram. Not sure whats going on because I used to run the exact same apps and homescreen on a Sense rom and I averaged about 90mb free on that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
oh and even though they load, it seems like catch and spotify widgets are broken too... only widget i have that's still working is mint. the others either don't load or load but it's like they're just the image of the widget but clicking on them does nothing. this is since flashing .30 this morning...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheUndertaker21:
Yeah widget problems. Some work but not all for instance YouTube Pandora and more
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jankypr:
Is WiFi tethering working on 9.30? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codf4ther:
I tried to push just the the Launcher2.apk from 9.23 but the graphics are all distorted. Gonna have to reflash the full 1.9.23 rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
Alright so I got a few questions to figure out the best way for me to update, I enjoy the weekly updated but not the issues..

I know everyone says I can just wipe cache and flash.. but I always get so many fc's after doing so and its not quick, slows down.

1. I flash and restore apps+data using the miui backup built in.. should I or no?

2. Roms says ext4. My sd card is not partitioned.. do I need to partition it to take full advantage of this rom? Seems to run fine for me on a clean wipe and install..

Thanks in advance guys.. :)

P.s. to tun4, best rom out there.. really enjoy the speed of this miui rom, thanks a lot man. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hulo_:
Is it some sort of nandroid backup? I know than nandroid backup your current partitions (like ghost/rsync backup), but you can backup apps+data using titanium backup.

Working here. Not working on previous version for me. Got "error" when I tried it on the previous version.

Whoa, Never knew MIUI was sooo good until now.. but I miss the real functionality of the Browser in CM7. Does any one know how to replace the MIUI browser with the one from Cyanogen 7.1?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
call me crazy, but wouldn't you be able to pull the browser.apk from system/app/ in CM7 and put it on MIUI? They're both AOSP based.

Looking for confirmation here lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yudhistre:
I tried that, and restarted the phone. but the replaced browser apk did not show in app draw. There was a .dex file when I did the search of the entire system in root explorer. Dont know what that means but...

Trying again with the app I got from

Hi tun4f1sh,

Installed this release and both beautiful widgets and fancy widgets don't refresh. Not only the weather but also the clocks. Any idea? (did a full wipe)

Thanks

Upate: seems to be happening only for miui.us
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
read the last 2 pages :P this update borked widgets.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martinpescatore:
yeah saw it, it's miui.us only
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Explosive:
I found widgets will load once u close launcher and reload it... Just go to settings, running programs, launcher, force close, then hit the home button and ur widgets should be present... this is just a temp fix tho, dunno how long they'll work =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mastergrifis:
Impressive! Thank you dude, i'll flash it later and let you know ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eioous:
I had to revert to previous version to get beautiful widgets working again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mastergrifis:
I can confirm that now the translation pack works, but I'm having an annoying issue that I had with the official miui too (that's why I wanted to try bulletproof): there's no backlight on the qwerty keyboard and on the 4 soft-touch (home, menù, back and search) there's a blinding light. Maybe is a bug related to the translation pack :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
this worked! awesome.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codf4ther:
Do you need to do this every time you reboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Explosive:
Yes, I found that out this morning but its only a temp solution =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
This works, but widgets don't update (ie Twitter posts dont update). They just stick on the post they were at when you force closed the launcher.

Thanks for the info but unfortunately they dont update after :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yudhistre:
Anyone else knows how to port CM7 Browser to this?

1.9.30 Patch 1 online. Fixes widget issues and updates kernel.

If you use the feature, ROM manager should notify you to update, or just grab the patch from OP.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
Widgets working properly once again. Appreciate the hard work!! ;D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Oh, quick heads up regarding patch 1: it disabled scrolling widget support.

I figured working widgets > scrolling widgets.

If you prefer scrolling widgets, don't flash the patch (but keep in mind your other widgets will be broken).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Thanks for the quick response + fix. You da man.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
working definitely better than scrolling but is scrolling back on the to-do list to get back in a future update? pretty please? :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Yeah, I'm sure scrolling widgets will be working properly in a future build. if MIUI.us updates their base again (before Friday) I'll likely release another patch.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dimqa:
I just installed MIUI for the first time and I'm loving it :) Is there any way to enable track pad wake up? Couldn't find by searching this forum.

Could you fix this APP to install in BP Miui?

Hi!

I would love to see this APP to work in Bulletproof MIUI.

Toggle 2g/3g

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739530

Would you tun4f1sh like to see if you can fix this? I can install Toggle2G-Update.zip with recovery. When i try to install Toggle2G.apk-unsigned.apk it says Application not installed. I get a Toggle 2g widget but it doesnt do anything.

I have poor 3G network at home and that app would be so nice. Example when you have wifi on phone changes only to 2g, this would work so automatically and nice at my home.

>MadAri<

Im using Bulletproof MIUI Ver 1.9.23
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
+1 to this

and how's everyone finding the new kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
What's all this talk about scrolling widgets? I'm still on 1.9.2 (which is many updates back, works great for me so I'm not fixing what ain't broken). I use Android Pro Widgets and I can scroll in those widgets. So what's all this scrolling widget support everyone talks about now?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
I always wondered this too, I never have problem scrolling in widgets. Even in Lp with the option off, they still work fine.

Between the click of the light and the start of a dream.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MadAri:
Hi!

I use Pro Widgets too, in ver 1.9.16 you must click to the scrolling button at pro widget to get it scroll. But in 1.9.23 Pro Widgets are scrolling directly and you dont need to press scrolling in widget. Scrolling button in widget doesnt come up at all in ver. 1.9.23. Hope you understund what im saying, im not so good at English.

>MadAri<
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
No one??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Thanks for the clarification. Still not reason enough for me to update though. I don't scroll those widgets often at all. If I have to I don't mind pushing a button first.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
2G/3G Toggle is already built in the newest MIUI update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Toggle 2G/3G is a drop-down notification toggle now in the latest build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MadAri:
Hi!

Is it just only toggle 2G or 3G? Same that you can do settings=>mobile network settings=>network type selection?

Because that APP toggle 2g/3g does many things automatically.

>MadAri<
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
1. You have to wipe cache and dalvik cache before, and run fix permissions after to avoid force closes. But restoring apps and data with the built in MIUI backup is perfectly safe.

2. Ext4 is referring to the /system partition on your phone, not your SD card.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
It just moves your phone from 3G connection to EDGE connection, and back again if you choose. You can also have a toggle widget to turn data on/off completely. Its not as robust as the CM7 notification widgets but they're good enough. I don't really need to toggle 2G/3G that often lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eric0668:
I am having similar issue..

but with my skill level I feel it may be worse

I am very much a novice, and totally understand/understood risks of rooting and flashing

I got help rooting the mt4g and help flashing the first ROM. Since then I have been fine with different ROM's in a basic fashion

Now, however, it wasn't the flashing, it was the me (I saw about the brightness) but I suppose I didn't understand it or think I was in autobrightness or not in it..whatever

I again hope I didn't brick my phone. I SEE NOTHING.

can someone help me. I only know how to flash with ROM

If you can't or think no one will be able to, please let me know

I appreciate your time either way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Can you boot into recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
You have a G2/DZ or are you using MT4G? This ROM is *only* for the former.

gps issues in 1.9.30-1

Hi all, anyone else having trouble getting gps to come on? I had trouble with the data comming on at first but it just came on after a bit, but when I open google nav it just doesn't come on, no gps icon in stat bar, and its deffinately toggled on. 1.9.30-1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Which radio are you using?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lewy255:
Err its a stock radio from vodafone au, its 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
That's a pretty old radio. I'd recommend trying 26.08.04.30 to see if it fixes the problem (I'd actually be very curious to know!)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
I have noticed it takes a little longer to locate, but I just assumed it was because it was cloudy and miserable here in Cleveland this week. Have you wiped you EFS partition lately? That's a pretty common fix for no icon at all. Here's a flashable zip for that.http://db.tt/hLKOVGMO

Haven't flashed a rom in a while, I'm using a G2 on virtuous glite with stock radio and dz hboot. Anything I need to know or do before flashing besides wipe data/cache?

EDIT - heh auto correct, you funny
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
A romantic, eh? ;)

Nothing special, just a full wipe then flash away!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killswitch11:
Odd... I had to walk away from this ROM after the 3rd release due to GPS issues. Now with this latest one, these issues seem to be resolved. Now others are having GPS woes. Though I'd agree flashing the latest radio is a good move.

One question: What exactly did this latest patch do? I haven't noticed any difference pre-patch to post-patch.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lewy255:
Hrmm, I've never flashed a radio on a dz, I'll give it a shot, cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
I'd say wiping data/cache and flashing, then rebooting fixing permissions and rebooting again. I'd stay away from restoring apps and data with Titanium Backup as it causes lots of FC and wakelocks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lewy255:
Flashed 26.08.04.30, working now, cheers all, I'll do efs now just for kicks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
It fixed widgets on the stock launcher and applies a different kernel.

I cleared all cache/data then flashed ROM. It's on it's first boot right now and has been stuck on the MIUI splash screen for a good ten minutes now.

Suggestions?

EDIT - rewiping cache/data fixed it, why does this happen every time i flash a rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
I think Rom manager just writes over the cache partition instead of formatting it. I've never had a problem when I used this to wipe. Go thank AmazingLarry.http://db.tt/BYmTVG8D

Another Q, is there a way to sync facebook contacts to existing contacts only? Right now it's syncing all my contacts over from FB. The option is ticked but nothing. I googled and it seems to be a problem with the MIUI roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fredcorp6:
Quick question.. should I be using the virtuous oc controller or the beater application that installed with the new update??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] somesayinice:
First of all great rom. Amazing speed and stability and battery life regardless of the radio I'm using. Thanks so much tun4. I only have one problem and pretty minor at that. I just flashed the patch and my widgets don't scroll anymore. Is there anything I'm missing? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
1. Hopefully someone else knows, I switched from Facebook to Google+ a long time ago.

2. Use the beater app, the virtuous one is obsolete.

3. I'm pretty sure this was mentioned already, but the patch fixes standard widgets at the expense of scrolling widgets. Hopefully the guys at MIUI and get it fixed by next week. If you need both use another launcher this week, they're not affected.

Can someone help me with MIUI...It is flashed the apps are there. I even changed my email

But the WIDGETS dont work.

beautiful widgets wont show the clocks in opaque

mlb 11 keeps loading

calendar pad is apparently there, I can drag it, but nothing shows up

the regular calendar shows no events

the account is there and is set to sync..

any help is appreciated. If it is there, please forgive me, my nerves probably made me miss it. your pointing it out would be appreciated

Much Thanks

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cruxiality:
I have applied the latest version with Patch 1 update and notice that my battery usage seemed to be heavier with this version installed. Is it just me or anybody else feeling the same?

Notice that Virtuous automatic battery calibration script is included so that we don't have to manually wipe the battery stat so is this this battery calibration issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
The only reason I suggest a full wipe when coming from other builds, is that my build uses the ext4 file system, all theirs use ext3.

edit: sorry, i neglected to actually answer your question. worst case scenario, you'll be in force close city, and the ROM won't be usable. best case scenario, everything will work, but not to its maximum performance potential. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SteveRiley:
Hmm...so busybox has a tune2fs command...I'm tempted to boot into recovery and attempt a file system conversion to EXT4 so I can flash without wipe. Should be interesting!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Yep, in theory that should work. Here's how rmk does it in Virtuous:

# Unmount all filesystems
umount /data
umount /cache
umount /devlog

# Convert from ext3 to ext4

# /data
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p26

# /cache
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p27
e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p27
tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

# /devlog
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p28
e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p28
tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p28

If we make this a flashable CWM zip and flash it could we just basically flash your rom with little to no problems?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Here you go:

Flash it via recovery if you're feeling adventurous. I haven't tested it, so make sure you nandroid.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkspadez:
Thanks tun4,

The script then flashing over my MIUI build seems to work ok. I don't have any FCs or anything just yet but will post back if I find anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Anyone tested the extended settings? Flashed it twice yesterday but nothing happened. Not that I really need it just wanted to see what it's all about. Liking this rom more and more for each hour! Have just about set it up the way I want it now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Wow, your theme looks fantastic! I don't personally use any of the addons, so I can't really help you. AFAIK, it should add a bunch of new options to "Launcher Settings".

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
That's what I wanted to say too, great theme!! I flashed this yesterday to test it out and I really love it. You can customize so much! Also tried to flash the optional downloads but didn't see it, I will try the tip from cjward23, thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks, cj. I added a tip to the extended settings link on the front page.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SteveRiley:
Now this is just too cool. I ask a question while waiting in the airport in San Francisco, and by the time I land in Seattle, we get a script to test. Impressive!

One more thought: why not also format /system as EXT4?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
/system is formatted as ext4 when you flash the ROM :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SteveRiley:
Right. Silly me. Just blame the gin tonics. Hazard of flying first class, alas :)

Browser problem

For some reason after some time of using the browser, my browser wont load any pages for the longest time, then it will go back to normal. Even when im on wifi. Any ideas? I wiped clean twice and reflashed. still same problem
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RobBull69:
I don't know what it is, but the last few MIUI updates have had a really slow stock browser. Try Dolphin HD - it is much faster than the stock browser with a lot of cool features.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Ever since MIUI started bundling their own browser (it's essentially the Miren browser), things have been a bit wonky. I'd suggest doing what RobBull69 recommended, and install a 3rd party browser until MIUI pulls theirs together properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oefox:
Been on virtuous for most of the last 9 months whilst trying out other roms, liking this build immensely for the configuration options and general snappiness. Read through and found answers to the trackpad wake and a few other little helpers, but...

I like my lockscreen to be around 2 mins (is either 1 or 5 but can live with that) but I prefer my security password to not kick in till after 15mins but I can't seem to set this separate to the lock screen.

Can you configure the lockscreen timeout and the security timeout separately?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martinpescatore:
Apparently no, looked for it long and large and some 3rd party applications have a lower priority than my corporate email. It is only possible with sense roms and cyanogen afaik. We are stuck with entering the pw every time :-(
