Hey all,

I haven't upgraded to 1.10.7 yet, but I was just trying to use gps for navigation & the map yesterday for the first time in a few weeks, and it was way off. It took forever to find me and when it did it was blocks off. Any idea why that would happen? Would 1.10.7 fix it maybe?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
I would guess alarm manager is running so it won't miss your alarm. Maps and Facebook open and update when you restart your phone and various other times. Use an app like autostarts to disable apps from starting automatically. Just remember, if they can't start automatically you won't get updates until you manually open them. Then long press the back key when you're done to make sure they close again.

Navigation and Maps gps connection has been really sluggish for the last 2 updates. It connects fine in other apps like speedometer or compass. I checked the server, matched the rils, and wiped efs with no effect. I sent a bug report to Google and MIUI, not sure who's problem it is.

Is there a way to add the app drawer? I can't see all the apps that are installed when and after I install them. For example I can see Titanium Backup as an installed app in the manage applications settings but no shortcut is created after its been installed. Am I missing something here? This ROM is robust and looks very nice and fast but if I can't access the apps I've installed then whats the point. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Any apps you install WILL BE on a homescreen or in a folder somewhere. There is no launcher in this ROM by default. No apps will be "hidden" or lost anywhere. They have to be on a homescreen somewhere unless you monkey with it and hide them somehow. But by default, every app has a homescreen shortcut. Remember that long press and dragging up to the trash-bin

uninstalls

apps on MIUI, it doesn't just remove the shortcut.

If you do want an app drawer, just install any other launcher (ADW, LP, GoLauncher, etc. etc. etc.). You'll get a standard homescreen + launcher setup you'd expect from an Android phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
just updated to 1.10.7 and have been in a bootloop since. it will boot all the way to my lock screen. i can unlock and navigate around a bit but its super slow, then after a minute or two it... wait... seems to be up fine this time... did it like 3 or 4 times, but now its working... wait no its not haha. started going really slow again and now it's rebooting.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Try restoring your nandroid backup, re-download the ROM and re-flash?

If not then try a fresh install after wiping data in recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
Haha well after about what, 30 minutes or so since my post its rebooted probably 20 times, had to pull the battery twice, but now its fully booted and running faster than EVER BEFORE.... so I don't know what THAT was all about but if it sticks like this I'll be happy...

Also my wallpaper changed to one I selected like a month ago but everything else is the same as before updating to 10.7... weird... happy tho :-)

Press menu and under UI settings make sure the Virtuous OC tabs are visible. (Unchecked) Once you select your speed and governor, hit activate and then save your profile. I haven't had any problems with it, but if it's still not working use root explorer to change the files manually.

Last time I checked, my bluetooth headset was A2DP. I use it for my music and phone calls.

They do come through the headset but they also come through the speaker on the phone, which isn't very ideal.

I'll give that SuperMono BT a go though and see how it goes..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
Oh, ok. I wasn't sure what you meant. That app kills your battery and doesn't do anything your a2dp headset won't already do. There was a switch to disable speaker on cm, but I haven't seen it on MIUI. I'll see what I can find.

Flashed 1.10.7 after full wipe. A very fast and smooth rom.

However, Auto-Brightness is not working. When I turn it on, the screen keep dimming and brightening, and loops over and over. I try going places with stable lighting and hold it still, this still happens. I have no idea why.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ShreddinPB:
I love this ROM! So fast and smooth! I was running Virtuous Sense 3.0 before and it constantly pissed me off, and made me thing my G2 was a piece of junk lol I used sense cause it looks nice, this rom looks WAY nicer!

My only complaint so far is the whole app drawer thing.. all the apps on the home screen is way too iphone for me.

Two things I did to clean this up.. I added folders for apps in categories. I installed "Organized Drawer" which also can categorize apps in folders on its own. I have the Organized drawer app on my dock bar so its basically an all apps drawer.. very nice!

Now to get the quick keys working :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
how do i send a logcat? i'd love to help.

btw, i've been a bit hit or miss with the rom, i definitely love it, no question, but sometimes i'll still have slowdown/lag issues here and there, but since my weird bootloop and leaving it and it fixing itself, oh my god it is SO fast now. like i've literally never seen an android phone run as fast as my phone is running right now. i wish i knew exactly what to do to get it to stay like this forever haha. i'm almost afraid to let the battery die or to reboot it or anything... haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
An even easier way to make an app drawer is to make a folder called "apps", set organization to alphabetical and drop it on your dock. Then whenever you install a new app drop it in there and voila, an app drawer and you can still use the stock miui.us launcher which, in my opinion, is one of the best ones ever.

tried to do this today. can't find the a2sd file.

flashed darktremor's script.

rebooted into phone.

no script in system/bin that is called a2sd

what gives?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Be careful restoring apps+app data. I'd say that its a bad idea in general to restore app data. Often causes problems on MIUI.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Ok, I got a good one.

Now, from what I remember, the Virtuous OC Daemon works at its best when the kernel governor is set to "ondemand", right?

Well, I just installed Tiamat 1.1.4 and came to realise that there isn't a ondemand governor. There used to be....but it's not there anymore, at least...according to the OC/UV Beater...

My question is....what other governors can you use that won't break the daemon?

Or should I just go to back to the regular kernel...?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
I use the performance gov while awake and the powersave while sleep. It seems to work pretty good with no lag, and my battery life is much improved.

I had restored a ton of apps with mybackup pro and didnt want to drag them all into folders individually (even tho I ended up having to do that anyways lol)

Is there a way to get rid of the home screens to the right now? I have like 6 blank pages to the side now that all the apps are in folders
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
on your home screen, press menu on the bottom of your phone body, then select "preview". you can move around the empty homescreens or remove them all together. I think MIUI makes a new homescreen when there is not enough room, and puts the latest downloaded app on that screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll give it a go and see what the results are.

Everything is nice but the battery... :( omg does it suck.....

Not this rom, but MIUI in general... the older sense 2.1 can last for two days, this just sucks it in front of your eyes :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HAK Devil:
I get superb battery life from this rom, it all depends on how much you use it but on medium usage I easily can get through a day and a half before needing to charge it. My settings are 1017/245 on demand on wake and 368/245 conservative on sleep.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
I think you're in the minority here. I hear nothing but good things about MIUI battery.

When you install MIUI are you resting apps and data or system data? You might be having wakelock issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
I never restore anything, it might be the wakelock, but I can't get to the bottom of this.

I loose about 8-10% per night (idle), which is not normal. But the worst part is the battery drops like it's going out of style when I use the phone (games, music, camera etc...)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
About 1%/hour while idling at night is generally normal. that's the same no matter what ROM I'm on. I'm just perplexed by what you're saying. The battery on any ROM will decrease quickly in games, videos, or music... miui is most certainly less resource hungry than Sense. Have you messed with the CPU settings?

sent from my HTC G2 running MIUI.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
That new cpu tool is nice, but what kind of undervolts are you guys running?

BTW, tried the osimood, got some lag on it every now and then and it lacked the fm-radio app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
No, used Bulletproof as is

alas what you say is not entirely true

Light Sense ROMs (not 3.0+), at least for me, idle at a much slower pace. I only get 1-3% drop per night.

And battery lasts longer under heavy load. I'm sure, because at work I play and test games all the time, the phone is under constant use here
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bigt2003:
That's an unfair comparison. Obviously an eclair Rom is going to be more efficient than a gingerbread one. I bet you could go a week without charging running donut on a G2. There's always going to be a trade off between features and battery life, you just need to decide which is more important to you and choose a Rom accordingly.

1.10.14 update is online. did away with the RAM scripts as they seem to be pinning apps into memory and keeping the phone awake. let me know if you guys notice any improvements.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
He was referring to Sense 2.1 not Android 2.1. For instance, if you look at the latest official Desire Z ROM's, they are Android 2.3 Gingerbread with HTC sense 2.1. The Pyramid/Sensation based ROM's are Android 2.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense 3.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
D'loading now. I'll let you know about the ram issue, but tbh I never noticed the issue. I'm a bit anal about pressing back out of apps though so that could explain a lot.

Overall, I've been on bulletproof for a few weeks now and don't feel the need for updating. Just do it out of habit :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
I just find that hard to believe. MIUI is really light-weight. I've never seen a Sense ROM come close to performing the same as an AOSP ROM when it comes to battery, CPU, or RAM usage. Don't mean to turn this into a AOSP vs Sense flame war, but I'm genuinely surprised that you get bad battery on MIUI.

If you're getting bad battery life on MIUI you're probably having a system problem of some sort (like a wakelock). Try underclocking (stock OC is like 1.1ghz, I use 800mhz) or undervolting. I'd use it and check your battery usage to see whats waking the phone. I had bad wakelock problems my first couple times flashing till I got it fixed eventually.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
What CPU settings do you guys use? And how well does the phone perform with those settings.

Just curious to know really.

Sent from my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
wake: 800mhz/245mhz ondemand

sleep: 368mhz/245mhz conservative

performs well, but I really don't do heavy 3D games or anything like that. I don't notice any lag when switching apps or anything like that though. I've just found that when I clock higher I get a small improvement in performance but a larger battery drain that isn't worth it for me.

has anyone gotten this rom to work with SD-EXT space on the SD card so that I can symlink the programs to my sd card? It's a class 10 32gb that has been tested for speed so I don't think I'll experience slow down.

I tried the Darktremor scripts, and installed them by mounting system and data... no luck. without mounting the partitions, it doesn't install. If I do mount them, the system is in endless boot loop.

RE: Call recording feature in MIUI.

On Virtuous Roms, the call recording feature on the virtuous kernel + CallRecorder v 1.27 had clear sound from both parties in the phone call.

In MIUI roms, the call recording feature within the rom only records my voice, and garbles the other parties voice.

Any reason why you chose tsubus' kernel over pershoots? Just curious, thanks for the great rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
New version is uploading now. Calling it the 1.10.15 release since .14 was a bust :P

Notable change: the OC Beater application is no longer shipping with the ROM (it was previously in /system/app) so you'll need to install it manually. I yanked it because it would cause an FC for anyone that just flashed the ROM (due to the app needing root, and the superuser application not granting it). Just install it like a normal app, and you're done. Or leave it out completely and everything will still run nicely :)

edit 2: new build is online, enjoy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I like that tsubus keeps his up to date. It's also slightly UV by default, and he's exposed the voltage tables to userspace so they're easily tweaked with OC Beater. When I decided to ship the ROM with tsubus' kernel, it was when the pershoot kernel was becoming outdated quickly (I think he went almost 2 months without an update). Either way, Pershoot makes a GREAT kernel, and it's also a perfect choice.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
