[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Well for what it's worth..

From my working MIUI build, I did the following:

From 4EXT (application, not recovery):

Chose "Install zip from sdcard"

- Pointed it to the MIUI.us 1.12.09 package

- Selected "install additional zip"

- Pointed it to the Bulletproof beta 3 addon pack (here)

- Selected "factory reset" and cache wipe from flashing options

- Flashed

System booted up first shot, no issues. If either of you guys are feeling generous, would you mind trying this procedure (make sure to use the beta3 addon pack)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
Yessir. Did a Superwipe then a factory reset, flashed the miui 12.9 release and then flashed the addon pack to no avail. Hopefully you're able to get this sorted out.

I'm using 4ext and I'll give that a go and see if it works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Oh, so it's not just me that's getting the stuck at splash issue?

That's reassuring....kinda....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
This seems to have done the trick and it booted up on the first try. Great success!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Excellent, now we're booting. Progress.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
Any clue as to why it will flash correctly using that method as opposed to just doing it through recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I *think* it was a problem with the installer script, not sure. Mind flashing this? As long as it boots for you, I'm pretty sure I've got everything sorted.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/102177/miui_bulletproof_pack_1.2-signed-beta4.zip

Flash it however you normally would.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
Flash that over a fresh MIUI install or over what's already booted?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Either, but a fresh install would be preferred.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
I don't mind giving it a go without a fresh install for testing purposes.

I trust your work tun4. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
Stuck at the splash screen with this one as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Ughhh. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Not sure why I can't reproduce this and you can. I did my installation within recovery and got through fine (ie, boot into recovery, factory reset, flash miui.us, flash addon pack, reboot).

I wonder if it has to do with Superwipe? Are you superwiping before flashing? Assuming you are, are you using the ext3 or ext4 version?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Ok, maybe I won't flash it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
I'm using SuperWipeG2+ext4.zip

Should I try without flashing the Superwipe first?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Ok, I think that's what's causing problems (no fault of your own). The installer script expects the /system partition to be set to ext3, and superwipe is setting it to ext4. If you're feeling up to it, give me one more chance with:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/102177/miui_bulletproof_pack_1.2-signed-beta6.zip

Use your superwipe, or do whatever you'd normally do to flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Did you also use Superwipe+ext4 before flashing the addon pack?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Oh, I didn't flash it.

By the time, I downloaded it...I saw Are.Two's message and stopped. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
Nope, that didn't get it either. Should I convert the /system partition to ext3 then give it a try?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Quite honestly, I'm stumped. I can't reproduce the splash lock up, tried your exact steps verbatim (superwipe+ext4 -> factory reset -> flash miui -> flash pack -> boot), and it still boots up. Every time.

Gonna take a break for a bit, come back fresh. Thanks for your help tonight Are.Two
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
I'll be here to help out once you recharge yourself. I wish logcat would at least work so I could have something to provide that would be of some help. Anyway, take it easy and when you're ready to pick up again, I'm all for testing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Did you try this by any chance?

I'm willing to give it a shot, if you haven't.

---EDIT---

Hmmm....got into recovery and I see that my system partition is ext3. O.o

It was ext4 previously...not sure what happened there.

Do you think that might be something to look into? It could just be the MIUI rom that's doing that...

Also, I'm stuck at the HTC splash screen still...tun4's phone must be special...

---EDIT 2---

So, I went back into recovery and system is back to ext4....

I'm guessing MIUI set the ROM to ext3 and then tun4's addon ups it to ext4 ?

---EDIT 3---

Yeah, tun4's phone is definitely special.

Still not working no matter what I do.

Side Note: Why the hell is the cache partition so big!? I'm never going to fill up 300MB with cache!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theone10:
My experience with the pack is fine. I just update and run the zip no problems so far :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] human-being:
I notice in the script the superwipe+ext4 will wipe boot partition as well, in this case what the boot partition is? Does it has anything to do with HBOOT? or it is a totally different thing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fr3akBut:
Sorry to say, I'm stuck at splash too.

Full Wipe / Install MIUI.us latest / Install Bulletproof / Reboot / Hang.

1st time trying MIUI (which works fine without addon), coming from various Pyramid / Runnymede roms and more recently ICS Betas.

Having come from Runny roms, I've got ext4 & swap partitions on my sd-card. Dunno if that's relevant.

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Rub it in, why don't you!?! :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Addon pack works for me too, even with additional translation stuffed in between ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Digital1325:
It's also stuck on the HTC splash screen for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theone10:
Haha. No. I didn't even do any wipe. Just flash. I just added the zips in order in recovery

I installed the older version. Not the 1.1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
WOOOO

Factory reset > flash 1.12.9 MIUI.us > flash beta6 > boots!

Uh oh, just did a reboot after fixing permissions and its sticking at splash screen :P I've done a couple reboots previous and it all worked fine. Now I can't even restore to the first nandroid backup I made right after flashing without it hanging. Who the hell knows....

Back to CM7 I guess :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I was just wondering what's really the difference between Virtuous Daemon and ILWT Daemon? Why not make a addon pack with the ILWT Daemon/kernel instead of the Virtuous Daemon??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
The ILWT supports profiles, Virtuous supports undervolting. It's just a matter of preference and Tun4 prefers Virtuous. You can just flash the ilwt over bulletproof to use it.

I was just going to ask if you did anything else special before I saw your edit. I'm extremely bummed that I can't seem to get this to work. After months of Bulletproofing my phone, it now seem that I won't be able to anymore.

Hey, how come the MD5 isn't listed for the latest release? I don't check them all the time but this is my first shot trying out MIUI.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smokeuout:
did u try sound settings
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smokeuout:
u can download from official website and see it there...im not sure y its not here
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks for reminding me. Updating it now.

MD5 key for this release will be different, as I've changed things. The MD5 hash will be completely different if only 1 bit of data has changed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Hmm, I can look into it, but is there any reason why you want to do that? I consistently see about 175-200mb of free memory at any given point. There's a lot of stuff going on in the background of this version of MIUI to keep memory in check.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smokeuout:
its not for memory purposes...i just dont like having apps around i dont use/want but i dont wanna mess up a good thing either so:

gtalk, sound recorder, voice dialer, calender, calculator and some i cant remember. these are the main ones
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smokeuout:
yeah i totally spaced..sorry for bad info honeybear
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Yep, it's multiplatform too. I think you get 30 days of streaming to your phone for free, after that you have to donate (but you can continue to use the web based player).

http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp

Android app is on the market.

As for your problem, I'm not sure what that's all about. I'll try to reproduce it and grab a logcat. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a problem with the music player and not the ROM itself /shrug
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HunnyBearLewis:
Cool, thank you. I just flashed this...love it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] qqyycchh:
any suggest on better battery life?

my battery still drain like water

any settings? i have setcpu screenoff 245/245 screen on 886/245( or something like it)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
What's consuming your battery?

Also, I recommend you uninstall SetCPU. The OC Daemon built into the ROM disables itself when SetCPU or CPUtuner are installed. Just uninstall it and the built in OC Daemon will go back to work.

edit here's my battery use for reference:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gdelrosario:
not sure if it's miui or the update process I did, but I seem to have lost a few apps including the virtuos oc tool and titanium backup (I can find both when i search for it but can't see them in any of my folders or the app drawer.

came from the previous version posted here with the patch, installed the latest version and just wiped dalvik cache (i didn't do a full wipe).

doing a full wipe now which i'm sure would fix the issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
The OC GUI was removed by design, and Titanium Backup was never bundled to begin with, so I'm not sure where that one went. A cache wipe should have been all you needed if flashing between versions of this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gdelrosario:
Thanks, everything's ok now (I'm guessing the culprit was app2sd when i was messing around with it with titanium backup).

also I just restored Virtuos oc so i could have the UI back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I don't use Whatsapp, so unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to assist much. I find it a little odd that Whatsapp doesn't use the default notification sound (in addition to allowing the user to select a custom one). Hopefully someone else will chime in that uses the app with a suggestion/solution. Sorry I couldn't help :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Well I fixed it just now. It seems the app didn't like to be restored from a backup. So I uninstalled it completely and made a fresh install and now it at least uses the default message notification. Still can not change it in the app though same thing as before but that's no problem as long as the notification works! Thanks anyway =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imsayintho:
Anybody have the same problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Nope, did you switch kernels? Full wipe? Using a G2/DZ? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] puravida82:
First, thanks for the ROM!

I think I found a possible minor bug: I get a fc when I try to assign a picture for a contact. I did a full wipe, tried rebooting, all that. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
You're welcome! Just tried to reproduce what you're experiencing with 2 contacts, both worked fine. Here's how I did it, did you do it the same?

Contacts > Select contact > Edit > Assign picture > Browse gallery > Select picture > Crop > Save
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Not even using superwipe. Just wipe data then flash + flash + reboot. And that worked great.

Weird thing is it reboots fine several times. Then randomly it hangs... Everything was set up perfectly.

And like I said. Even going back to my original nandroid (I always backup right after flashing before changing anything) doesn't work. So peculiar.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
So I guess the only logical thing to do here is for tun4 to keep the ROM going, which I have zero problems with.

I kid, I kid..... but it would be awesome.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Haha yep. Caught me by surprise when I came back to try MIUI I naturally looked for bulletproof and didn't find the ROM. Makes sense that hes prioritizing some IRL things over ROM development though. Just wish our phones weren't being ridiculous with his addon pack.

I'm gonna keep messing with it. Dunno what I can do to make it work. Kinda sucks I set everything up thinking my ROM was solid though!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I'll figure it out guys! Might need some help testing though, since my phone is so tolerant of whatever is getting wonky on yours.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
You got it. I just tried a superwipeG2+ and reflash to no avail.

Let me know and I'll beta test it. Surely Are.Two will as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks, dude. Whenever you get a chance, try this pack:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/102177/miui_bulletproof_pack_1.2-signed-beta7.zip

I left the ext4 /system conversion out, curious to see if this works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Yeah I'm thinking that might do it. I'll try now.

Just tried superwipe > flash 1.12.9 > flash addon beta7 and it hangs. Gonna try flashing then rebooting and flashing (update: this didn't work).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Darn. Ok then, on to the next thing, here's a new beta:

K trying :) superwiping right now.

Same deal. Hangs like a monkey in a tree.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks, trying something totally different next beta. Will be posted in a few. A logcat would be so exceptional right now, hate poking around in the dark! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Trying man. I run logcat every time but it never gives anything. It obviously isn't even booting far enough to give log events.

I let it sit for a full minute at the splash and get 0 log events.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Oddly enough, I'm now getting stuck at splash. Should make debugging a bit easier, I'll keep plugging away.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Kinda funny but I'm glad its happening to you now too :P Hope that you can figure it out. I'm ready to beta test let me kno.

This isn't a g2 vs desire Z issue is it? I heard there are subtle differences.

Just flashed new miu.us over last bulletproof wiping cache only. let it boot up fully then installed 1.1 addon via rom manager wiping cache again. no probs at all touchwood
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Snipe175:
I've been having trouble receiving text messages on this ROM , I miss quite a few SMS, and MMS messages a day. At first I was using chompSMS, then I deleted that to see if the problem would be fixed. But it is still not working correctly. I read that some task killers may end the messaging task before, and I thought about the built in MIUI task killer. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Raul^:
This addon pack doesnt have tiamat kernel inside? It seems there are no underclocking options in oc/uv beater.

I really miss your rom, this addon is not close to it.

Gonna try something different / go back to latest copy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
Ok, I thought it was strange that it would hang without any logcat info. So, I replaced your updater-script with a stock one from miuiandroid and it booted fine. I'm still trying to learn so I'm not sure, but maybe there's a syntax error in that's causing it to format boot after flashing?

Sent from my Motorola StarTac

Edit: What recovery is everyone using? CWMR or 4EXT?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
T, the updater script is pretty much the bread and butter of the whole operation. It puts files where they need to be, executes scripts, and does other mundane stuff like setting file permissions (which I'm inclined to believe is where my problem lies).

Doing a 1:1 swap from the ROM may have worked, but their updater-script isn't doing some of the necessary stuff that mine was. I'm not giving up, I'll spend some more time on it this week.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I assume you meant undervolting, not underclocking?

BulletProof ROM came with the ILWT kernel, but the pack doesn't and MIUIs original kernel doesn't support undervolting. Why can't you just flash that or the tiamat kernel yourself?

Imo the addon pack is far better as I can flash it over Osimoods MIUI. That is for sure a quick and smooth combo.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
Agreed. +15 :D

I've been wanting to learn myself. And I did try to start, but then I couldnt find any good material to learn from. And then, I started app development for android..

This debugging thing is making me want to learn ROM making even more now. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I've also been fooling around a little bit. I don't have any experience with these things but as I'm a curious mind opened I up a few zips and looked what goes where. I was surprised I got my Miuiandroid based rom with sys-apps zipaligned and optimized booting. I also removed some apps I don't need and added ILWT kernel, OC Daemon and few boot time scripts from this bulletproof pack.

So I made a rom that's basically already achievable with less effort and time using ready-made zips... Well at least it was fun. Next time I will try to incorporate Virtuous Daemon and some kernel into a miui with zeppelinrox's SuperCharger. If I can make it simple and quick enough it saves me time to do certain things every time MIUI gets an update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
I've made one with ILWT OC daemon, wifi calling, and stripped out all the extra appps. But I can't seem to get the kernel to stick and the HTC_IME FC's constantly. I should have something up and running after the holidays. Just in time for ICS! :cool:

What's the benefit of Osimoods vs. the MIUI.us builds?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] human-being:
what is zipaligned and optimized booting?

thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
There goes that idea. Oh well...

CarpeNoctem zipaligns the apk's and removes the unnecessary apps, then adds Pershoot's kernel, the 4 way reboot and center clock mod. It's usually 75mb compared to MIUI.us or MIUIAndroid which are around 90mbps.

That was kinda badly written but what I meant was that I got the rom booted and I had zipaligned and optimized the system apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
I see. Thanks. FWIW I get stuck at splash with either Osimood or MIUI.us using this addon pack, so it doesn't really matter at this point! hah

Have you tried the WiFi calling addon from the Osimood thread with his ROM? I tried it and the caller on the other end couldn't hear me properly and it was extremely garbled. Really weird.

Again, I'm still completely puzzled how I got 1.12.9 + addon pack to boot just fine, and reboot several times, then randomly hang after the 4th (or so) reboot.
