Do you ever sleep? :-P

So I've been running miui for about a week now. Before that I never really messed with miui (think I've said that before) So when I installed it and found that I could make it not look like an iphone(hahha) and saw all the customizations you can make I loved it. The one issue I had was at times it would be laggy, a lot more so than cm or unnamed (in my case/set up anyway) I have been running it with the Siyah kernel since the start. So the laggyness was driving me nuts because at times my phone would be super responsive and snappy then the next time I would unlock it, it would be really laggy and jittery. It bugged me so much that I wound up going back to unnamed but it only lasted a few minutes until I wanted miui back. So I flashed miui and figured I'd deal with the lag for now, then I tried cm7 again (I always was a cm guy) and missed miui again, so I flashed it again. But yet I was still getting lag from time to time.. (this time before I went back to miui I didnt just restore a back up I did a full wipe and then reflashed everything) It was very snappy until I loaded up all my apps (I have almost 300 apps installed) then it started doing it again. So I used the app autostarts(great app by the way) to disable a whole bunch of crap from starting up on boot and during other events.. That helped but then I still noticed some lag at times when I would wake the device.. So I was undervolting by like -75 never ocing and would UC too 800mhz when the battery fell below 30% and also had a screen off profile to run at 200mhz max.. Once I disabled the profiles in setcpu, I havent seen any lag, but it kind of bums me out that I have to keep it running at full speed (well scaling up to 1200) even when the screen is off. Well anyway... what was the point of my wall of text? If you are experiencing lag at times try disabling setcpu profiles (or at least the screen off one) See if that makes a difference, it sure has for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
No, I don't sleep much at all :p

I keep my phone (current miui and current siyah) at 100-1000 with ondemand. It gives me incredible battery life and I have no problems with lag. I don't have near as many apps (I have maybe 40), so that could be it as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
hey guys made a little different window anims for miui.

free for anyone to use. used the kitchen to make it.

http://www.mediafire.com/?zraelbrcdzqbrnc

download the zip and flash via CWM. reboot and enjoy.

Anyone use friendcaster and sometimes have freezing problems?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
For some apps restoring data from different roms ain't cool. I never restore data unless its just an app that needs a password I don't feel like typing in every time... etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Restoring user app data is ok for most apps. Some have compatibility issues though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
Um.... but. Huh? What does this even mean? For some apps you can screw **** up. As a very basic example. Restore data for Google talk, where your user DATA was set as "for web links always go to Opera"... unless you have Opera on your new rom, you'll get force closes every time you click a link in Talk, especially if you froze your stock browser. Try it. Freeze your browsers and click a link in Talk. That's a sort of benign user-to-user apps example, but the same **** can happen for background apps that interact with the system or whatever.

If your current data leads to inexecutable actions you'll have trouble, often times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
you might want to RETHINK your example

GTalk is included in the rom yes? therefore TiBu wouldnt RESTORE it by using RESTORE MISSING APPS+DATA

i have never come across such an issue. you can ignore what i say if you want, but telling people it never works right is an outright lie.

also, i am not just some random user with a lack of experience....:rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Are you sure? What do you have to base these statements on?

:P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
pirate is a known dev so i trust what he has to say. just not about tibu restore. :) ;). but on the real, his rom for the skyrocket is absolutely fantastico. how bout a rom for us i777 users pirate?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
i am still trying to figure that out.

i have stayed away from working on the i777, as i felt gtg set the bar....maybe you will see something in the future... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
i agree, gtg as well as all the other devs here are awesome and have set the bar. but im pretty sure with your knowledge you can match that bar:) keeping my fingers crossed. i have been stuck on miui and shep has done an awesome job. just looking for an excuse to flash another rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
I agree with him about TB restore methods.

I think this phone needs as many devs as possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gary86:
Just flashed this ROM coming from ICScrewD (like this one) and still setting everything up. Seem to like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
You are going to love it. Wait until you see how endless the customizations are.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gary86:
Thanks...now I just re-download TB then restore my apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Yeah.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gary86:
Where's the app drawer at? I downloaded TB and can't see it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
There is no app drawer. Scroll to another page and TB will be there. Most of us use folders for our apps, but you can implement an app drawer. The option is in the extended settings app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gary86:
Not seeing the extended setting apps. I might reflash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] climber1872000:
It's in three MIUI control app. The app drawer option never send to stick though. I always have to activate after a reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
I never said it never works. In fact I agree that it pretty much always works. There are times when it doesn't work though and my example highlights a scenario ... system app or not. So long as the "missing" apps data doesnt lead to an inexecutable action, you're good.

Not trying to be a ****. And I'm sure you know 100x more than I do about this stuff

Another example is restoring camera gallery photos between the roms.... Restore photos from the stock rom to MIUI and the MIUI camera force closes.

I can't figure that one out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
Shep anyway to port this??

http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/stables/

PS. not sure if I'm doing something illegal by posting that link. I'll take the infraction if so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
i have literally never come across restoring an app that had broken links....thats not how it works

restoring camera gallery photos?

why would you restore gallery anything? your pictures are on your internal/external sdcards, there is no reason to restore gallery anything. open the gallery that is built in and your pictures will populate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Galnet is not allowed in xda, miui barely even is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Looks interesting! I bet shep can do it :D

Gallery is a system app, why would you backup/restore it with tibu?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
I read somewhere that miui sometimes has issues with 32gb sd cards (mine seems to work but it never reports the space correctly) I'm thinking of upgrading to a 64gb sdxc card. I know with the stock rom it will work as long as the card is formatted as fat in the phone. Does anyone know if it will work on miui? I'd like to find out before I drop 150 bucks on this card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
Just to be clear and not in an effort to further my argument.... if you leave stock based rom photos in the dcim directory it will crash the miui camera.

Anyway. I'm dropping this. I'm sure you're basically correct.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] craigbailey1986:
Couldnt you just use the hellraiser mod if you want to use it? I havent been here in a while so I dont know if the mod still works...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
as far as i know, hellraiser mod doesnt work for AOSP roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
It's reading your internal storages, it doesn't report external.

I've got a 64gb card in my phone and it works just fine. I paid $99 shipped from best buy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
What the heck? :rolleyes:

Never had problems switching through a dozen roms and leaving my pictures the same location.

I too would enjoy a stable miui of some sort, the weeklies always seem to have something or another wrong.

STOP!

If you're going to post saying it works fine for you don't. Others have issues and would enjoy a stable build. There's too many useless posts in this thread already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
Hey skatin,

Remember I mentioned the lag I would have occasionally? I figured it out. It seems its the screen off profile in setcpu. When I have it set to 100 min and 200 Max(or 500 max) when the phone wakes it seems to start lagging and stuttering more. When I disable the screen off profile it stays snappy. I re enabled it with a 800 max and it doesn't lag when it wakes so it seems to happen with a max of 500 and below. (For my setup anyway) Just figured I'd let ya know since I was trying to narrow down what was causing it the other day

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Honestly, I'd say wait. It's been on sale twice in 30 days, it will go on sale again. Just keep an eye on dealnews.

Glad you narrowed down that lag issue! I try to leave miui as stock as possible because it runs so well.

Dan: I'd love a stable build. I'm content with 2.1.13, but 2.2.1 has an interesting changelog. I'd like to give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dahlem:
go to: data/sdcard/

There will probably be a folder called MIUI in it. Delete and you will be good to go. Happens to me every once in awhile . . . Don't know what causes it but this fixes it.

does anyone have a 3d gallery apk that i can install to use to change icons and docks for launcher pro? thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TechSilver13:
Yeah I've had a camera issue only with miui when there are pics on the internal sdcard from a previous rom. This happens only when coming from a stock based rom to miui though. I have to move my pics from my internal dcim photos to my external dcim folder or my camera will crash. So I can confirm that issue. Also I have to clear app data for my onkyo remote after I restore that app with titanium backup or it will crash every time. Not a big problem at all but it does happen. There is one more app I don't remember that it happens to as well.

Skating and all, I am up and running, I LOOOOOOOOOVVEEE THE FREAKING LEVEL OF CUSTOMIZATION, but would give that up to be able to answer calls. When a call rings in, it says slide down to reject, but that's it. If I slide up it brings up a reject button. I miss every call. What gives?

Try flashing a different lock screen and see what happens.

My calendar events are not getting synced with google. I have auto sync on and also tried manually syncing but it is still not working.

The strange thing is if I create an event it is getting created in google but already created events in google are not getting synced.

Any body else facing similar issue?

Remove your Google account and add it again.

So far I have had no issues of note with this MIUI. Only thing I noticed was FB notifications don't work. Its not a big deal, just a slight annoyance. Besides that its been working great...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TechSilver13:
Sometimes after I flash miui facebook notifications will either work or they won't. Its hit or miss it seems. Maybe reflash?

I'm having run away cpu issues again. Stuck at max cpu setting 1200mhz. Everything was fine until i restored from a nandroid, it also will not into a deep sleep. I'm going to to clear cache/dalvik/voltages and then run the cleaner script then re-flash the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] climber1872000:
I had a similar issue two days ago. I tried to change the system font to a fine called Mortis using root explorer and setting permissions. I got stuck in a boot loop and had to restore a nandroid backup. However, CPU spy was reporting normal states but when I pulled battery stats it showed that Android system was running at 80%. I wiped and performed a fresh install and now everything seems to be fine.

anyone getting issues were music disappears from the music app and you have to keep rescanning for media? I have my music on a 32gb sd card and everytime I reboot the phone or I plug it in via usb I have to rescan everytime and it takes forever, is there anyway to stop it from needing to rescan it this often?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dan_maran:
I too just had the delay lag out of no where, it had been running fine for well over a week. Also noted was the 800mhz step was pegged, via cpuspy.

I cleared the caches and flashed the 2.6.11 kernel as I was on v.9 hopefully it doesn't act up again.

Hey guys,

I've got the latest Siyah Kernel and the latest Miui installed

I've noticed that no app, even the specific "LED tester" apps, make my LED notification blink - at all, no color whatsoever.

Is that a known error?

This actually happened to me yesterday. My old 32gb card went bad so I took the one out of my tablet, formatted it and copied over my music. The stock music player didn't see the files. After a re boot they showed up but then disappeared while I was playing a song. All the others weren't there (it was showing zero songs) but the song that was playing continued to play. I just went in and cleared the data from the app and they haven't disappeared since.

I had the same with MixZing. Had to rescan media. Happens every few times I mount my SD Card and upload something via USB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
Its something with your miui advance setting app. The color of your status bar. I can't remember exactly the details because I'm running an old miui.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dahlem:
Change it to "Top Bar" then go into MIUI Control Panel and toggle the show battery from on to off and then back on and it will show up . . .

What governor are you using? After I read your post I checked cpu spy and had the same results. It was either pinned at 800 or 1200. I was on the .11 siyah kernel using interactive as the governor. I cleared caches and had the same result. I switched it to ondemand and now its scaling through the other frequencies. If I switch it back to interactive it stays pinned again

I had left the governor and scjeduler as default, so ondemand/sip. I made no voltage adjustments, the only change was enabling the 100mhz stepping.

Having a strange issue where calls received never ring my phone they go straight to my voice mail. I have heard about DND settings (I'm assuming the firewall app) and I went into that and turned off the anti-stranger mode and disabled the firewall, but the issues remains.

At first I thought this was related to the call delay bug so I disabled the enforce proximity sensor but that didnt fix the problem. Does anybody have any clues or suggestions on where to go from here? I'm out of ideas.

I have heard of the lag issue and using setCpu to fix it but I have never used and don't really want to pay for the app if I'm not sure that is the fix.

Thoughts?

BTW, Here is what i'm using currently. MIUI 2.1.13 and Siyah 2.6.11.

Are they delivered with the rom, kernel, or neither?

I had a strange problem yesterday that I wanted to ask about. I had just installed the latest MIUI, and after a day of setting everything up, there was a major MAJOR problem. The battery wouldn't hold a charge at all, and the phone was nearly bricked. Only after leaving the battery out for 30 minutes was I able to plug it in long enough to restore to another firmware off of 2% battery, it was a scary moment.

So, does anyone know why this happened? I really love MIUI and want to use it again, but obviously that's a waste of time if my battery isn't even able to charge.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
It's risky, I wouldn't do it since the kernels aren't compatible. Don't ever flash an I9100 rom if you aren't hellraising.

If you are referring to my question, I will try to be a little bit more detail. Let's say I install Wolfram alpha. Its icon is not square shaped it is star shaped. My install of this ROM is putting a square colored background behind the star shaped icon.

I do not want the square shaped background behind the icons. I want icon background to be transparent. Is this just something screwy on my phone?
