Quick Question:

Is it at all possible to get the Dialer to take preference over everything during an incoming call?

I.E.: Phone is somewhere, I get an incoming call, it rings a few times, I get to the phone, but instead of seeing the "SLIDE TO ANSWER" option, i have to Unlock the device, close any pop up notifications I may have, and THEN I see the slide to answer screen... a lot of times it's too late as the call gets missed lol

Any way around that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Sounds weird. I have never had that problem. Whenever my phone rings the "slide to answer" thing always comes up first. Occasionally it lags and takes like 5 seconds for it to show up but not too big of a deal for me since it never makes me miss any calls when it happens.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Thats weird... are you using a custom theme or custom lockscreen? What apps are giving you popups? The slide to answer lockscreen should always been in the very foreground when a call comes in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
I am using a custom theme (my own combination of various stuff) and my lock screen theme is: something in asian text lol

The apps that give me pop ups are SMS and GTalk.. it's as if my screen turns itself off after some time during an incoming call and I have to turn the screen on myself... then I have to go through the shabang of unlocking and closing out pop ups

I'm trying to find this too. I want it to launch the default Google search.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

Hmm. That actually looks all kinda buggy, the whole UI and stuff is messed up. Does it do that with ANY folder you make?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
Just install search from the market and make it the default app when you press the button.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Tried but I never got the prompt to make it the default, and I'm unable to clear the current search as the default.

Have you done this specifically on yours?

When I open the search and hit menu > settings, it lets me change the search provider from Baidu to Google, but it doesn't let me clear the 'sidekick' search app as the default application...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Install the Google Search app from the market (if you haven't already), then move it from /data/app/ to /system/app/ using ADB or root explorer, then reboot. Enjoy Google Search using the magnifying glass button :D

adb remount
adb shell mv /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk /system/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk
adb reboot

sorry if this has already been discussed but I searched and didn't see anything....is there a way to remove the alarm clock icon? and even maybe the clock itself?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
Odd, it popped right up on mine. Did you try a long press? I didn't replace the sidekick app, they work side by side.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
Flash one of these.

http://www.magicmonkeystudios.com/android/andythomson/1.9.16/Extended_Settings/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Did it, and moved. But it doesn't work or prompt me to choose. Idea? Do i need to then remove the 'SideKick' app?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
After moving the apk, and rebooting the phone, a single tap of the "Magnifying Glass" capacitive button should bring up Google Search (instead of sidekick)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
mm its not... maybe ill reinstall and try.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Do you see the Google Search application at all (the actual application icon - in your launcher)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Yes. I installed it its in a folder on the home screen. Launching the app works fine, but moving it doesn't change anything.

Just reinstalled and moved again. Still nothing :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Weird, man. All I did on my device were the steps I detailed previously. No fuss, no muss.

As soon as I rebooted, a single tap of the search capacitive button brings up Google Search, long press brings up Google Voice Search (which I set as the default application previously)

edit: You're POSITIVE it's in /system/app/ ? If you do 'adb shell ls -l /system/app/ | grep quicksearchbox' you see the apk listed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Flash this in recovery:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Positive. Didn't do with adb. Just used ES File Explorer (has root permission, and mounted system before moving).

After moving and rebooting, I can navigate to /system/app and its there, and no longer in data/app. FWIW I can launch it from /system/app too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Snipe175:
Amazing ROM, but I am getting terrible battery life for some reason. Running on edge all the time, auto brightness off, and brightness below 50%, background data off. I only get about 7 hours. All I do is text when a receive messages and after responding I shut the screen off. Not sure what's draining my battery so bad?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Hmm. That actually looks all kinda buggy, the whole UI and stuff is messed up. Does it do that with ANY folder you make?[/QUOTE]

Yes, any folder :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Take a look at your battery use. Is your "awake" bar solid? Or are any apps consistently or constantly awake? That could be the issue. Also, did you restore apps+data when going to this ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Snipe175:
My awake bar is almost solid. For some reason my opera mobile bar is solid, as well as my launcher. Do you think it might be the opera browser running in the background 24/7? And now that I remember, I did restore apps + appdata when coming to this ROM
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
There can often be issues with restoring app data from a different ROM to MIUI.

I had problems with this (read a few pages back), and ended up wiping and re-flashing the ROM and just installing all my apps from the Market manually. It helped several things, but I'm still having problems off and on.

I'd definitely recommend a reflash, or at minimum do a reboot into recovery, wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache, and reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Never ever ever restore app datas with any backup software unless you're just reflashing the same rom. If people would really understand this fact, we wouldn't have these random problems at all... which, in the worst case, affect the person's feeling about the rom he's trying out.

I just started to test this rom after using Osimood's MIUI for a couple of months and so far it's working ok. Smooth and bug free. I'm using tiamat's kernels and Andy's Extended settings-mod. So faar so good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
That's not necessarily true...

Stuff like games can be restored with data and work fine with no issues.

At least, the games that I've downloaded and played.

I think it depends on the type of app you want to restore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SteveRiley:
Check the owner of the apks. Files in /system/app have owner of "0 - root" while files in /data/app have owner "1000 - system". When I was playing around with fonts in MIUI I'd forget to change permissions and owner of the files and certain apps would break. Once I fixed that, normal behavior returned. So my suggestion is perhaps a guess, but maybe your moved apk still has the wrong owner?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
Must have been those pop ups... since disabling them (GTalk and SMS) I don't have issues with the lockscreen coming up during Incoming calls.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnementh666:
Hey tun4... been running this off 'n' on since you first posted. Awesome rom. Thanks much for it.

I actually just flashed umaro's kernel, UV'd it, and it runs solid and smooth @ 800mhz.

Hopefully this isn't a stupid question but how do I get the keyboard to vibrate. Great rom btw, I just switched from (the very unstable) miui.us, and this rom seems to be much smoother and more stable.

Its not a huge deal. The default 'SideKick' app for search isn't terribile, I'm just used to AOSP Google Search.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
That doesn't work, but whatever. I'm using a 3rd party keyboard now anyway.

Edit: Also, is there a color calubration app that works with miui, like the one from the nexus forums that works with cyanogen mod?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheUndertaker21:
To change your search from sidekick to Google first download Google search from the market then run these commands on Terminal emulator

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

cd data/app

cp com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk /system/app/QuickSearchBox.apk

Then reboot.

I hope someone answer my previous question about email app white background thing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Do you have 'Haptic feedback' turned on in your general sound and notification preferences? If you have both settings turned on the phone should vibrate on keypress.

Great rundown of a lot of the awesome qualities that MIUI brings to ones phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mr.boonet:
Hey,

Still loving the rom A LOT!! great work. Now there is 1 thing that seems to happen to all the miui roms i've been on: some programs don't show up in the launcher. For instance 4shared from i think russian mobile or something (free download in the market) is not being shown in the launcher, but when i try to search for it, it IS found and i can click on it to start it...

Do you have a clue what this is about?

thx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Thank you.

It started working by itself again though after two uninstalls before I came here to read this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks, glad you're enjoying the ROM. I used your example, and installed the 4shared application by "Russianinternetsolutions" from the market. Icon shows on my homescreen just fine. You sure it's not floating around on a homescreen you may not look at very often?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
I have never been much of a fan of the MIUI roms. I have tried it at least twice on my phone and didn't care for it that much none of the times. I guess third time's the charm. This rom with the wp7 theme looks awesome and some custom icons. Feels fast so far (have not run much resource heavy stuff yet though) and everything's been stable except for the theme manager that has slowed down or force closed a couple of times while playing with it. No biggy for me. Battery life seems very very good so far! MIUI definitely has some stuff that other roms doesn't, and vice versa. But this is the first time I really have taken a liking to a MIUI rom. The "page" homescreen transition is awesome and smooth!

Also to get some more candy into the rom I have ported the ubersweet animations from meXdroidMod into this rom as I can not live without them after running meXdroidMod.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mr.boonet:
No, i'm not having that mutch applications on my phone, like 20 or something, so i have 4 homescreens, not sure how i couldv missed it because on 1 there is my ubermusic widget, 1 all nice themed sys icons, 1 with clock and euh nothing else and 1 with folders with the rest of the apps... And i just checked and can't find it...

I'm having this problem from idk version 1.4 something and up maybe from 1.5... it's kinda weird and nobody knows why this happens... wiped/not wiped doesnt matter
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RobBull69:
I'm loving this rom. Very fast compared to the MIUI.us rom and I'm not experiencing the force closes that I was running into with that build. The only problem I have across every MIUI build I've tried is that the haptic feedback in the keyboard never works. I've tried stock, Swype, SwiftKey and HTC, but run into the same issue. :confused:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JustAnotherNewbie:
First off, great Rom. This Virtuous Daemon seems to make a huge difference in effectiveness over SetCPU.

Second, I have a request, though I suspect that it its too pie in the sky, so to speak.

I have long used CyanogenMod; I love it, really. It is fast, simple, clean, and, above all else, it is efficient. One of the handy bits of CM that I've apparently become addicted to is being able to reassign/reprogram the long-press menu function and both the short/long-press Search functions via CM Input Settings. (In particular, I like being able to use a short-press of Search over long, its a small thing but its hard to unlearn habits.) Is there /any/ way it is possible to include a similar functionality into MIUI?

Granted, I imagine doing so is more tricky than the OC Daemon and such, and it may not be possible at all. Just the same, I'd be remiss if I didnt at least ask. :P

Or, for that matter, is there another way of tying the search key to other programs? Any advice is greatly appreciated; you've already earned my thanks.

-Newbie
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but if you long press the search key on miui.us a drop lists your installed search programs (for me its sidekick and QRdroid) and you can tick to add it as deafult and press an app. So you can have it to open default search as usual on short press but also another search app on long press :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JustAnotherNewbie:
Close! Yet not quite right for one main reason (I should have been more specific, Newbie mistake):

I do not want to run another Search-style application; I want to run a particular app. For example, long-press Menu was how I used to open the Settings in CM, or short-press search would launch something akin to AppLauncher, which gave me a list of selected apps that I use rather often. (AppLauncher /can/ be used with Long-Press Search because it is programmed to appear in the Search app listing. Also, it should be noted that the programs it launches are the ones I use most often, not ones necessarily running or recently used.)

Or, maybe a more common version would be to assign short-press Search for Browser and long-press Search for Settings. Any combination, really, that does not include only search-function apps. :P

Thanks, though.

-Newbie
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I understand the functionality you're looking for, but unfortunately that's one part of CM that didn't make it into MIUI. I'll look for a viable solution for you later, maybe through modifying the capacitive keymappings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JustAnotherNewbie:
Thanks, I know it’s a tall order, but that sort of awesomeness is really a big pro for me.

Admittedly, I have only been running this since Friday or Saturday, but it seems to be the only ROM that isn’t CM-based that really competes. Both are smooth, both are swift, both stretch battery life, and so on. MIUI wins on the theme-making (including lock-screens), CM gets bonus points for open source and functionality (familiarity doesn’t hurt, either). At this point, I may end up torn between the two. :P

In any case, I realize this feature isn’t a terribly common request, so no worries if it turns out to be too great of a hassle or outright impossible. I really appreciate you simply looking into it. ^.-

Thank you,

Hey tun4f1sh, I notice in your instructions that a full wipe is necessary even if coming from other MIUI editions. Currently I'm running the MIUI.us build. Can you predict what might happen if I flash your ROM over it without a full wipe, especially since (if I read correctly) that's what yours is built on anyway?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:

Has anyone else faced the airplane mode bug with this rom? I have tiamat's kernel, extended settings-mod and this rom, and had the airplane-mode bug yesterday.

If somebody is unfamiliar with the bug, it's quite common MIUI-bug when the phone drops the signal and tells the user that he should first turn the airplane mode off before trying to connect to the network. However, the airplane mode-switch is already disabled and nothing else helps than rebooting the phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
I'm unable to clear the SideKick as default. That's the issue probably. The clear defaults button for 'com.android.sidekick' is greyed out.

On a side note, my battery life is continuing to suffer. Doesn't seem like it really matters what I do or use the phone for, I'm getting about 12 hours 100% to 0%. I fixed my wakelock issues but the phone is still waking up a ton. I've underclocked back down to 800mhz and it didn't help.

If I can't improve this to CM7 levels (easily 14+ hours) I might have to go back for a while. A couple extra hours doesn't seem like a lot, but this is the difference between being worried about my phone dying, and being able to comfortably finish the day with ~20% battery left. I like that comfort.
