You're right. Even though battery life on MIUI is nowhere compared to 2.2 but I also find my way back to MIUI :).
[Vibrant General] Mattymat:
When you say that battery life is nowhere compared to 2.2, on average how many hours are we talking in a normal day?

I use Toxic 8 and juice defender to limit the amount of data when my screen is off, and I'm getting around 20 or so hours. It's usually around 14-16 when I'm using it a little more during the day, but I don't do that as much anymore.

I've been wanting to try Miui for awhile now, but both the GPS and battery life have been talked to death on these boards. Just curious what your personal experiences have been since using it?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

[Vibrant General] vetvito:
Damn. Choices choices choices. I hate it, I can't make my mind up.

Nexus, Note, GS2! Damn decisions.

Miui FTW!
[Vibrant General] Mirmensky:
I've been curious, just been too lazy to Odin back to froyo bootloaders.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
note looks sweet, but last i heard there are no plans on releasing it in US anytime soon
[Vibrant General] Rayn1328:
how badass does the note look!!!! will have to get the bigboy pants!!:D
[Vibrant General] junglerumble:
was hoping it would be metal. **** yes!
[Vibrant General] LHBC:
If it's metal frame, YES, I'm down on it.
[Vibrant General] itsjusttim:
Lol, ill simplify this for you...

Note, not coming to USA anytime soon, and when it does it wont be on tmo bands.

Gs2, the Hercules more than likely will have the same snapdrogon that's in the sensation. While nice, IMHO is not as good as the exynos in original sgs 2, and the omap 4 that will be in the prime. Also, because of this seems to me to be more of a lateral move from vibrant than a forward one.

Nexus, is the way to go. It will be stock android so waiting for updates wont happen again, also it will have top hardware and more than likely an HD screen which will look amazing.

Just wait for the nexus unless you absolutely need a phone now. It will be well worth the wait.
[Vibrant General] gamikzone:
battery life is alot better than it used to be when i started using miui, gps is ok not the best but it work atleast
[Vibrant General] r29:
hey guys currently

have omnia i910 really old now.

my provider is getting the s2 with 1.5ghz 4.5 screen - Telus

Should I just opt for the s2 or wait another month for the nexus?

Really need a new phone. Phone works but having a lot of service issue the phone been dropped one to many times.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Kraize:
I just noticed this after I took my Atrix out if its case, but it's cracked where pressure is put on the corners when taking it off. ):

Anyone else having this problem? Any idea what to do to seal the crack? Or do I have to buy a new backdoor? I just got my Atrix like 3 months ago.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] madquack:
Mine is doing the same thing. I don't think many things can fix it, considering you keep flexing, bending and cracking the plastic every time you have to take off the cover for a battery pull. Just be cautious when you take the cover off, don't forcefully rip it off.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Alcapone263:
like already said, just be careful while taking it off. you can find a new one here:

http://cnn.cn/shop/motorola-mb860-atrix-black-battery-cover-p-11668.html
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Kraize:
Thanks guys. Another quick question, does the replacement cover come with the mesh part that goes over the speaker? Or would I have to take that out from my old cover and stick it on the new one?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] tight686:
Contact Motorola and use the online chat function. I had the same problem and they had one shipped and to my home in 3 days. No charge.

Worthy of a Thanks? Lol.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Kraize:
DUDE. Yes. Thank you. I shall do that right now. I didn't even think to do that.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] beatphreek:
The Motorola solution is by far cheaper. But just to let you know the CNN.cn. website one is basically a factory part. Even has the stickers on it. I got it and the housing for $22 FROM THERE
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
After making full backup using cwm is there a way to make sure the md5 is correct, the way I have been doing it is do a backup and then do a full restore which checks the md5 at restore time. It would be nice just to do the md5 checking and then give you the option to continue. I have not found if it can be done. Thanks
[Desire HD Accessories] nish77:
Has anyone noticed something reddish and rough on the volume rocker surface after using it for more than 6 months? I hope its not rust and just polish that has eroded...I stay in Mumbai where the climate is quite humid that's why i think its rust..
[Desire HD Accessories] razor 116:
Yes I have the same issue, a coppery colour with rough texture, my power button has also started to loose the silver finish.
[Desire HD Accessories] nish77:
But do you think its rust or just eroded polish??
[Desire HD Accessories] jenizaro:
Of course its not rust. The rocker is alloy-plated. After a while it disappears. Sad but true :(
[Desire HD Accessories] nish77:
Thank god it isnt rust...but i have heard that cheap metals also get rust ..
[Desire HD Accessories] dp_saswat:
Same with me. Coppery brown color on volume and power keys. The silver color is no more. :(
[Desire HD Accessories] audiobookman:
yep mines the same, its just the silver wearing off, there is nothing to worry about, its just a shame they didnt use solid metal insted of the plastic with silver coating.
[Desire HD Accessories] Springdale:
Good for you. My volume rocker essentially failed, the volume down function barely works, I have to press it very hard. Does anyone have experience about RMA in this case?
[Desire HD Accessories] didge3:
I dropped my phone and it landed on its side bending my volume rocker down the centre, It kept falling out as it no longer fitted properly, inevitably one day I lost the rocker but I bought a replacement online, it was slightly expensive for what it is but in no way costly. You can pry your old one off with something thin, a small blob of adhesive holds in on the the middle of the rocker, and then 1 metal and 1 rubber (?) tab hold it into the phone. The rubber tab is at the bottom of the rocker so pry with something thin from there.

I bought mine http://www.parts4repair.com/products/HTC-Desire-HD-Volume-Button.html there. I choose the cheapest delivery which took almost 2 weeks to the UK. Its up to you whether you choose this option or not. I thought I would just put it out there incase anyone wants to replace their volume rockers.
[Desire HD Accessories] nish77:
That may happen in the near future if my phone falls for 2 times or more!...but thats good information @didge3...and why are you still using ARHD 5.2.1 when 6.1.0 is out?But if you prefer sense 2.1 wasn't 5.2.6 the smoothest?
[Desire HD Accessories] Springdale:
Thank you, but I think my problem is with the volume down button itself, and according the site you linked this case I would have to buy a motherboard flex cable that is about $50...
[Desire HD Accessories] voltron2k11:
I´ve been using a silicon case since day one (17. November 2010)

Everything still looks like on day one...

I would send it in to HTC, they can replace the buttons ...

They have outstanding service!
[Desire HD Accessories] didge3:
Should really update my signature more often! When I posted I was running 5.2.1, and shortly after I bumped up to 5.2.6 but too be honest I was looking at 6.1 and thinking I'm a little bored of Sense so now I'm running MIUI+, a slight change....
[Desire HD Accessories] alexluckett:
Also got this, it's a real shame. The paint is only coming off on the bottom side, and also the actual button is starting to break off the phone at the bottom :(!

I blame all the reboots into recovery...

[Desire HD Accessories] Grant Barker:

AFTER YOU PATCH BOOTLOADER, IT'S PERMANENT.

(image from gingerDX mini pro)

And finally it come true!, flash with flashtool, as normal ftf.

If you want to come back to stock kernel, download stock kernel zip, and flash with flashtool.

Bugs: Nothing, wifi works.

Thanks to aZuZu for saying me a cool kernel name, and helping me with hostile C language, also for Ramdisk!, thanks to him, we have this custom kernel :D!

you know you dont need to chroot anymore if you flash new kernel? you probably try to load touch module which might have different base adress depending on the kernel se provided for us. so try to do it without chrooting and not loading touch module anymore. also make sure in kernel config the default touch driver is select cyctma300_ser.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
D4rKn3sSyS ext4 means SWAP partition, which means MORE RAM? :O

I saw some Kernels from X10 forums and they have managed to add SWAP partition...

Also, is it nessesary to have installed fresh stock 2.1 rom in order to install the kernel? Slade has wrote this on his post as a requirement. Did he write it because stock rom doesn't have any modules -to avoid any possible problems with other roms?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SpyderX:
It's recommended to use Stock. It's not necessary but strongly encouraged too :).

Anyway, ext4 =/= Swap partition! Swap and ext4 are very different. Ext4 is an additional filesystem that has several advantages over FAT32 and is commonly used as a filesystem for Data2sd on android. Swap on the other hand is similar to a page file on windows. It adds virtual RAM but decreases performance in general. Our kernel currently does not support swap.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ryant22:
I knew this day would come.

d4 you are doing wonders with the mini pro and i would just like to say thanks.

Also, i'm picky when it comes to design of things and replacing the initlogo is a good idea.. but i dislike your use of lense flare. maybe i can be of help here and create a few for you pick from? :D

btw, Thanks to donators! :)

Ext4 and swap are different filesystem. I believe d4 means ext4 as in the phone partitions not the sd card ext4 support? D4 correct me if I'm wrong!
