sorry to be a bother but how would i do that? what would it be an apk actually in the .zip of the bulletproof rom that i downloaded and i extract that and run some terminal command to do that? i've never done any "pushing" other than when i first rooted the phone using adb and terminal.

would it be worth it to do that or do you think that just restoring the app with titanium would be fine? if you think its better to push the browser from the zip, any chance you could help me out with that?

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
Honestly I'm not sure if restoring Ti backup would work. It didn't when my calendar disappeared on me, but try it first. If not you can view the contents of a zip in Windows. Just double click, then go to \system\app and copy the browser.apk to your sdcard. Then use root explorer or something like it, make system rw, copy browser.apk to /system/app and reboot. If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas...

Oh, and you don't need to apologize unless you're complaining about this rom boot looping on your Galaxy Tab.

Not for me. I have switched from compact to full page and back and neither allow me to change the volume while on the home page.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Volume works fine for me using a compact layout on the home screen (or anywhere for that matter)..

erm... did u check your dockbar? it MIGHT be there.... (you know... sometimes u check everything except the stuff right under ur nose...)

btw... making system rw/mounting system is done by the command [mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system] just in case u forgot what that meant :)

why not use the other 3rd party browsers anyway?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnementh666:
That made me chuckle.

tuna, I admit. I've strayed. I installed Trentacinque (sp?) For a bit, to see how it ran. Man, I love the beauty and integration of sense. But then I saw your new update. I have seen the light! Lawdy lawdy is this fast. Never again shall I stray from the righteousness that is Bulletproof. Until something else comes along to tempt me :-P

Anyway, thanks for the ROM. I'm sure I speak for others when I say it's awesome.

help. massive lag

am i the only one that is experiencing massive lag since the 9/23 rom? After 9/23 it takes an average of 5 secs to return to the home screen from an app especially the stock messaging app. I have performed a clean wipe and still no change. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
No lag what-so-ever for me; in fact, I'd say it's instantaneous. By chance, do you have like 324,652,834,523 SMS/MMS saved? Just a thought.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] webguru4life:
Nope no ridiculous about of messages saved. did you edit the OC script by any chance? Also, when i do attempt to change the governor/frequency it has no effect. Any advice?

Notification problems.

Im having a notification problem on the newest build. Whichever sound i set for my notification/ringtone, it wont play what i pick. The only thing that works is my sms sounds. Using sound settings only sms will work, but if i change my notification/ringtone in themes, and make it the same in sound settings, it will work if that makes any sense. otherwise my ringtone is the default, as are my emails. Ive tried wiping and reflashing, themed, un-themed, and a completely fresh boot. Any ideas Tun4?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I noticed my notification sounds were a bit wonky too (i.e. only vibrating, no sound). I went into sound settings and re-chose my tones, now it works. I haven't done much playing with themes lately, so I'm unsure if I can reproduce what you're seeing with their sound settings. Regardless, it's an upstream problem, hopefully MIUI (proper) will fix it next week :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merk_maniak:
I see. yea everything was working fine until this weeks build, now my sounds are funky. But i guess i can live with them for a week if i cant get them working :P Hopefully a week. Thanks for the quick reply :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Not sure then, maybe we just use our phones in fundamentally different ways (I use mine mainly for calls/sms/music streaming/browsing). I have ~80 apps installed at any given time.

I did tweak the OC settings this week. I raised the screen_off_max profile to 768. If you have OC/UV Beater installed, you should be able to reapply whatever your last used settings were (mine will overwrite the values when you first flash the ROM). Honestly, unless you see reason to change them, I'd leave them as is. In fact, sometimes clocking too high can make your phone slower/unstable. Just a thought. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I've thought about it, but it puts me in a pinch if andy doesn't release his mods when I want to post the ROM (this week excluded, better late than never :D)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] busbutt:
I am also having the issue with buying paid apps from the Market. I am running bulletproof 10.28 and Market 3.2.0. I've never had this problem with any other rom. Do other MIUI roms have this issue too, or is it just bulletproof? I just discovered MIUI and I am loving it - I don't want to quit :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deaththeorist:
BUMMER... market doesnt seem to restore my apps from the previous rom.....

and btw how to get trackpad wake? its in the settings right? but where?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
The 2 latest market builds seem to have this problem. The solution is to roll back to version 3.1.5. You can grab a copy from my Dropbox here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/102177/Market_3.1.5.apk

You'll need to push it to /system/app/Vending.apk or use a program like Root Explorer.

Not sure what the deal is with the newer builds. I'm considering rolling back to this version in future releases for this reason alone.

I'd like to know your guy's opinions, should I leave the bleeding edge Market version, or roll back?

I was just looking through spare parts and it says under "other usage" and "since last unplugged", it says "Running: 99.6%" and when I press on it it says "Time spent without sleeping: 1h 2m 3s". Below running it says "Wifi on: 99.6%" and "Wifi Running: 99.7%" Does this mean that because I've set the sleep policy for Wifi to never, does this mean that my phone is constantly awake and therefore draining the battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Music app freezes for me. After it does, I can't get any sound from the phone. I can't even reboot because holding the power key doesn't do anything until I release it. (Then it locks the screen). A battery pull is the only option then. I've had this on former builds as well as on other MIUI "versions". My phone is my music player so it is quite annoying. :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] busbutt:
I flashed the market fix and I am now back on 3.1.5, but I am still getting the same errors. I wiped data for the market too. Anyone else also seeing problems with this version, or is it just me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kueber:
Exactly same problem here.

Besides, awesome rom, recently flashed.

Another question, does anybody know a convenient way to change the notification sound of whatsapp? It's kinda glitchy - it will always show the "Themes" screen, not the actual sounds.

The volume rocker doesn't work unless you're in a menu, a call, or the notification bar is down. I haven't tested playing music yet, but so far I kinda like it. My big fingers kept hitting the volume while I was typing but now it's fine.

Use Ti or the built in backup. As long as you don't restore data from other roms with Ti, you won't have any problems. And there's never any problems with the built in, unless miui has a bug that week.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yozgatg:
After a month of CM7 i'm back to MIUI to check the progress.

Now I don't know what happened but this is the first MIUI build where I ran into memory problems. Usually, MIUI has around the same amount of free memory as CM7 (in idle mode around 150+) yet this version shows free memory in the low 60-70s. I'm using the same setup I've always used, and in previous MIUI builds I never ran into memory problems. Also programs sometimes start up like 10 secs after I press the icon. Once they're up and running it's smooth though. Is there a way to restore oom_adj back to stock?

The good thing is that I run into much less FC's using MIUI than before. The only thing I had was one hot reboot while playing music using the MIUI music player.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnementh666:
Random thought... maybe an icon is overlapping the browser icon?

I've run into that issue. The icon for another app overlaid onto the one i was looking for. I started moving app icons to folders, and that showed me ones that were "missing". Of course now the folders cleaned up the home screens, and i sorted by MIUI apps, my apps, and tools, so it's even better. :)

that's an interesting thought. weird, but i supposed possible. i'm gonna try that first (cause i don't own root explorer, i just pushed with adb, so before having to buy it, i'll try that).

right now i have almost everything in 3 folders on my dock, and like 10 icons on the home screen, i'll just try moving stuff around a bit. but that seems like a really weird issue if thats it haha. we'll see!

More bugs?

So for the first few days everything was peach with this rom, but now I seem to be experiencing a bunch of issues:

1) I have the problem where I can't buy paid apps from the market. I've tried clearing the Market app's data, downgrading to 3.1.5. Nothing works. Seems other people are also having problems, and one person suggested this doesn't happen with the MIUI.US rom? Perhaps when I have to reflash I will try it.

2) The screenshot function seems to have died on me. It worked fine at the weekend, but now when I take screenshots, I get the camera sound, but the files are not being written to SD card. Or at least I can't find them if they are. I googled, and one thread suggested they might be put in /cache, which sounds like a very strange place. I looked in MIUI/screen_caps which is I believe where they are supposed to be, but they are not appearing. I can't check /cache, because I need root access for that and...

3) THE BIG ONE! I lost root access completely. None of my apps that require root can get it (Titanium Backup, ES File Explorer, My Backup Pro). I googled this too, and it seems like a common problem but most people just need to switch on root access in MIUI's superuser app to fix it. My app has that on already. I've tried reinstalling TB, I tried wiping the superuser app data, I tried fix permissions from recovery, several reboots. Nothing works. My root access was working fine until this morning as far as I know, and other than switch a theme and try to take some screenshots, I did nothing to my phone.

I guess if I can't resolve (3) in particular I will try a complete wipe and reflash, but if I am going to spontaneously lose root access for no reason on this rom, I think I will have to go elsewhere. I am hoping that the power of XDA can save me :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fixxxer7:
I had the same problem, losing my root and then I went into recovery, mounted /system, /cache, etc. And I got root back... weird
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
I got a weird issue... whenever I upload a photo to facebook it removes the photo from the SDcard??? does somebody got this similar problem?

okay wtf.. it removed the picture before actually uploading! I pressed cancel before I pressed "upload" and it's gone now :s
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pedroflovera:
Are you serious about everything you said?...

I don't have any one of the suppose issues, so i think you have to start follow the instructions step by step to install this rom.

This is for me the faster and best miui based rom, and the issue with root is weird and we (all the miui users) know is nothing with the rom.

The only issue i have is the same like the most people and is with the volume.

I use titanium for my accounts, my backup pro, and a lot of apps that require root access and all running perfect.

1) You need to log into your google shopper account and contact support. They will reset your account verification details. This happens when you start to use a gazillion different roms that are reporting old and new versions of markets. Consider it a security feature that google looks after. I went through this until I contacted them and they asked a bunch of questions like whether I'm using stock software, etc... I tried on the stock software, still error'd out. They then saw that my account was locked and unlocked it for me.

2) Screenshot function works for me. Just tested.

3) I just gave AdFree Root Access... seems to work for me just fine.

Losing root issue:

Those of you having root problems, I'd advise you to download and flash (via recovery of course) this file:

http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip

I'm going to be pulling the MIUI superuser application out of this week's build and including ChainsDD's version instead. I don't see any advantage to the MIUI one, other than confusing people when they first flash the ROM.

I also experienced the root issue on my phone, seemingly unprovoked. The above mentioned fix will work.

Disappearing pictures issue:

I don't use Facebook, but I've been doing some searching/reading on the issue. If you're noticing that your pictures are being deleted after uploading them, the solution is to NOT use the MIUI gallery application to upload your images. I'd recommend you use QuickPic instead.

Feels like MIUI (proper) is breaking more than they're fixing these days :(

I've been using ChainsDD's superuser for a while, I never liked MIUI's. 3.0.6 is the newest and its available on ROM manager.

so heres what i noticed.

only way to access superuser application is to use the search feature and search for superuser. the icon is gone from the launcher screen tiles. i have just installed the new superuser application- but to be honest, i liked the MIUI one. it was more... MIUI like :)

phone shuts off randomly sometimes. i think this is the first time it happened out of the blue for me with any MIUI bulletproof rom.

It's happened 2 or 3 times throughout today.

Also, I flashed the RIL automatcher v7. I did that with all MIUI's. I'm noticing that the battery life is a lot worse with the latest build.

Every time i install a new rom or update, or even just reboot the phone- I usually run Virtuous Overclocker and set the speeds up to lowest/highest, and check settings on the app to make sure its' SU'd and launched on boot.
