i think i may be a convert to miui. I have been using various Sammy ROMs, mainly ICScrewed since i got the phone in October...but after having been on sheps latest miui since last night and getting it set up somewhat how i want it i gotta say its very nice. Very fluid and fast. My GPS now works and i got most of my apps back.

I plan on reading through this whole thread eventually seeing as this is my first android phone and i have no clue about anything that has to do with miui, but i like how it has that professional feeling of the iPhone but with all the customization of android. I have had no market issues so far. I cannot however get my pure grid calander Widgets to work though. It just says loading widget, but never loads.

I'm hoping battery life is as good as jivys latest I screwed because i was getting 4+ hours of screen time and less than 2% drain over 8hour idle periods. Ill give the from a day or two to settle. I am running siyah .12 and kh7 modem. Good data speeds and wifi and but work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Are you using the CM7 specific modems?

Welcome to the movement Johnny. Miui is a lot of fun :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dan_maran:
Yes and it happened after a wipe and fresh install with no TiBu restores also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevehkim:
Johnnyredcorn. When you find the right setup with kernel and modem you will find that battery life is amazing. I'm getting a little over 5 hours screen on time with siyah 2.6.7, some scripts and uv'ing. Using KJ4 modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Hmm, that's strange. It worked fine with other roms I assume? Which ones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
Maybe I can't help much until I flash the latest version of miui. I haven't had any experience with this with kk6 and kh-whatever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dan_maran:
Thanks anyway

I'm trying to find that perfect match so I can fall back onto a "stable" build and just leave it. I think it has settled a bit and I will try to stay away from the market as much as possible.

Same here, data bits and pieces flying to my phone flawlessly from the interwebs.

@shep211,

Thank you and all the other devs, except for task (cause he's holding out on us over in the SGT10.1 forums... JK he's awesome too) for this great ROM. Everything else I have flashed has sucked my battery dry, but I'm only at 75% after 6.5hrs and thats with screen on for 2 hrs and being on calls for 2hrs.

Keep up the great work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jason.hamilton:
It doesnt hit everyone. I was reading through the link that i posted and it seems that it affects based on signal strength and area which you are located. Im not too savvy when it comes to codes though so i may be wrong. Anyways i just flashed the new updated rom and i lost data 10 mins after i flashed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rthamilton:
Try it this way now no issues so far with today's update and this method. Only been going for 45 min tho
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mph122074:
OK so this may have already been covered, but I figured out me black screen on call problem. It is under the call settings.

You have to turn off the force proximity sender setting.

Call settings> answer settings > turn off force proximity setting.

Hope this helps all that are having the black screen on calls problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] used2hvatreo:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WGSXFrank:
I updated just fine without any wipes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mph122074:
If you are coming from a different ROM, you will need to wipe data/cache, and a good idea to wipe delvack cache as well...

If you are currently running miui you just need to flash updates over the top without wiping anything...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jason.hamilton:
I think it may have been related to setcpu. I uninstalled it and I've been Good now for 5 hours. I had used titanium backup to restore apps and I think it was trying to overclock it for my old kernel. Ill keep you posted

Was the monitor app set to disable data when limit reached by any chance?? Just a thought here but by default it sets the data limit really low.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
I initially doubted on this comment because I thought I remembered turning it on with siyah .12 + MIUI one version behind 2/8/12 release (1/13 according to my outdated signature), which I was running until yesterday. Now, I don't use tethering really but I always make sure it works when I need it for my TMO Galaxy Tab, which I pay too much for 200MB data when I have plenty of 2GB ATT plan that I don't even use half of it.

So I just decided to flash .9 since I noticed it wasn't working for me either after upgrade and I confirm that this comment is in fact correct - tethering turns on with siyah .9.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:

nice I got the CM camera working on the ICS lockscreen. I use the CM7 Camera as I like it better than the miui camera and I usually just remove the miui camera apk which then breaks the lockscreen camera unlock on the ICS theme. I just modified the manifest.xml to call the cm7 camera instead of the miui cam and it's working like a charm(not that I didnt expect it to work)

here is a link if you guys want it. This ICS lockscreen also has the removed Chinese text

It's the full theme but you can just extract the lockscreen file out of it(thats all that was changed anyway)

Barnacle creates an adhoc hotspot like the wifi tethering apps that I've found. My kindle is the only thing I use wifi tethering for, and it won't connect to an adhoc hotspot. Is there an app the will create an infrastructure hotspot? I think that's the right word.

I'm about to try to revert to siyah .9 now, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a website that had some MIUI tips and tricks that would help make my experience better with MIUI. Not that I don't like it the way it is now, I absolutely love it...but I was just wondering if anyone knew of somewhere that could show me some tips.

extremely impressed with this latest build (sheps 2.2.3 + latest siyah kernel + ICScrewD theme + OC 500-1400 lulzactive scaling) . i definitely prefer/install other launchers(ADW) to miui, but otherwise the performance (battery/benchmarks) is top notch.

Can I get your opinions guys on Siyah. I'm a recent convert to MIUI, running shep's versions. I initially had Siyah installed and then started mucking around and ran one of the battery optimized scripts and things got a little wonky. Ended up getting my device in a reboot loop.

No problem, just went into CWM, ran a kernel cleaner script, factory reset, and re-installed latest version from shep. All is good.

So I find myself again contemplating Siyah. Where I went wrong (because I am positive this was entirely a problem of my doing). And whether I should try Siyah again.

My phone has been rock solid on the kernel that ships with Shep's build. Does shep run Siyah? Appreciate the feedback and any MIUI specific feedback you can give me concerning Siyah.

Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

Click enable. It should kick you back. Go back in, and re-select the position option for the dropdown. The enable/disable will look like it's disabled, don't click it again. Hit the back key to get out.

The trick is you have to pull down at the edge of the status bar. Go up too high and you get the standard notification window.

On a similar vein, someone was asking about how to hide icons from the main screen (ones they want to only appear in the app drawer), enable access control for applications, and choose the hide option. Disable access controls.

Hope this helps.

Interesting. So just flash Siyah 2.6.11 or 2.6.12 and then do the ThunderBolt-CMW_v.2.5.1.zip flash after like normal I take it.

No. Ive seen in multiple threads suggesting not to use rom manager at all with our phones. You would be best to do your backup/restore in CWM recovery mode instead.

2. The same question with modem. Can i install i777 CM7 UCKK6 MODEM on this latest miui?

3. Is this latest miui already rooted?

Thanks in advance, and have a nice day!

Another question...does DLNA work with miui? I have a Samsung plasma and I used to use all share to stream videos and music to my TV...I can't get all share to work. It won't even let me download it from the market.

Another thing...how can I view my external SD capacity? I have a 16gb card installed but I can't find where to view total space/used space. I can view it as external_SD under /sdcard
