How is the bluetooth working out for this ROM? I love MIUI, but I get constant disconnects with my Liveview... only reason for me to keep switching back to CheckROM. I need working bluetooth!
[Galaxy S II General] skylinestan:
From what I'm using now MIUI rom from langthang...is a good version of MIUI out there.Never have any issue with Bluetooth or camera bugs..overall very great ROM to use!!
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
hmmm... Are you on KI4 modem ? I do not have any bad experience on AT&T network like you describe, and I have my office in a lousy reception area. Actually now I do not disconnect at all, and certainly have no loud beep in my ear (unless i am deaf enough to miss it)..
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
I do not share this experiance with you.. but assuming it is true, try the attached instead. Just make sure you try the right one after install as you will have two camera.apk (this came from a CM7 ROM if I am not wrong) .

Again - no issues like it on my phone.. maybe a faster SD card is needed.. I use a 10MByte rated 16Gig card..
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
I don't have any knowledge about LiveView devices. All I can say I did not have any issues with several BT devices today (laptop, car, headset) at all.

I also came across this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1100629. Don't know if this has anything to do with your reported performance issue, or not. Out of curiosity I would like to know if you had any better experience (or same) with another MIUI ROM.. most likely the steps on the link will resolve your issue, as CM7 and MIUI are related..
[Galaxy S II General] terenceleechan:
saw your review/comments about the rom in the first post. seems good enough to be a daily rom. can you comment about the ICS framework? any tangible improvements vs other miui roms?
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Well, nothing really to write about. As a human user (non scientific look and feel) it is a fast ROM. No freezes, or noticeable graphic issues.

Running Quadrant - disappointing results of 2,820 but this maybe because this app does not know how to use two cores, so I would say - ignore it.

AnTuTu score - 5856. Seen better as well. I also believe the framework came from SDK , so its performance as not as good as a formal source code release would be. I also seen over 8,000 scores with 1.6Ghz overclocking (probably another kernel, and SetCPU installed, but I do not test it currently)

Having said that - I have been using it all day today, and it is a great MIUI ROM, with no issues whatsoever, stable, with fairly good battery life (I still have 40% after 15 hours, and I have not yet drained/charged it fully to consider it 'calibrated').

Bottom line - try it, and answer yourself the question. It feels like a fast one, but frankly, with 1.2Ghz ROM, even the 2.3.7 OS with one core was giving me great service...
[Galaxy S II General] terenceleechan:
ok thanks! will try this after doing a backup
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
If you try it with Siyah 2.2 beta4 let us know what it does.. I will keep the original kernel for now..
[Galaxy S II General] flyingmachine7:
Thank you all o\for the head's up and the go-ahead. But i have just one question. There isn't any tutorial or a brief explanation even about flashing.

Right now i'm on Cyanogen Mod (Nightly) + CWM. Can i directly flash this rom?

It will be of great help if the same can be incorporated in the opening post, and in post no. 31.

Ok got this from the original post.

How to install

Unzip MIUI 1.11.7.rar

Copy MIUI folder & MIUISCOTLAND 1.11.7 V1.zip to your sdcard

Wipe and install the rom

Use file explorer and select sdcard/MIUI/theme/backup/backup.mtz and install the theme

I have tried to update to 1.11.7 from stock KI3, I wipe data, cache and dalvik in recovery and then install from zip, then it says its done, I restart, but get an endless bootloop, it gets the the samsung galaxy s II bit with the yellow triangle, and goes blank, then goes back to that again, I have to flash CF-Root again to get into recovery, can anyone help?
[Galaxy S II General] Mario_N:
Tried Vol up + home + power button to get to recovery?

Like this ROM a lot but after few minutes of usage (setting up everything) phone heated up significantly so I returned to previous ROM.

There is another thing also, couldn't set up SMS center number, like in this thread

[Galaxy S II General] bouzoubaa:
Thanks mate... Needed this badly ;) would be nice though for next releases if you put only the frameworks in a flashable zip... That would make it easier on the bandwith download as it would be only 7mb unstead of 120mb...

But still a big thanks for this ;)

Any diference between this and the Official MIUI?

No, the site seems working good enough! :)

What about the volume bug in the ROM? Does the volume only increase upto 50%? Or is it solved? :D
[Galaxy S II General] Skimi:
can't access GalnetMiui from work...

[Galaxy S II General] coebergh:
Tried for about a day, then switched back to CheckROM Revolution.

Although I liked overall smoothness, notification area and the settings menu (never tried MIUI before) I disliked the MIUI Launcher only for lacking an app drawer really, maybe I missed if it is there but I ended up installing TWLauncher 4.5 anyways. The problem with that was that it FC when I launched certain apps. Along with the market FC all the time I switched back again.
[Galaxy S II General] IakobosJ:
Quite a few people seem to dislike the MIUI launcher. Personally I love it :P

I normally create a folder, pop it on to the dock at the bottom and put the apps in there and there you have it.... an app drawer :D

I've never yet had a single app force close on me with this build, not even the Market, this continues to be the best ROM I have used yet :)
[Galaxy S II General] jclarel:
That's exactly what I do too, and the apps are automatically sorted alphabetically! :)
[Galaxy S II General] IakobosJ:
Exactly much better than Samsung's App drawer, that thing gave me a headache. I hate 'lists' but I like having them sorted alphabetically.

I prefer the MIUI method :)
[Galaxy S II General] terenceleechan:
just installed this rom, and my first experience with MIUI is quite good. i just have two questions:

1) i notice haptic feedback is a bit weak when interacting with the device?

2) does this rom have the proper liblights installed for BLN? or i have to install manually?

other than this, great rom so far. thanks!:D
[Galaxy S II General] brack11:
Also is there any way to change haptic feedback intensity?

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] oyebto:
nope, all the while MIUI is unable to change the haptic feedback, unlike CM7 which MIUI is based on.
[Galaxy S II General] lucalaco:
But is possible to have an Appdrawer apk instead to install another launcher ?

thank's
[Galaxy S II General] GANJDROID:
I'm also pretty annoyed by this. Not sure when they changed it but it was within the last month. It used to be like stock (one big vibrate) instead of 2 tiny vibrations.

Does anyone have an extended control package for ICS Galnet, like those for Stock Galnet >?? Latest in MiuiAndroid Forum is 1.11.4 but the framework is changed in ICS Galnet and we need a fix for that Extended Menu Package. Cheers !
[Galaxy S II General] bouzoubaa:
1.11.7 has already the power off extended control in it ... why would you need another package unless I misunderstood something
[Galaxy S II General] silver2706:
Which ROM should I use as base ROM..can I install this over any 2.3.3 ROM..?
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Regarding APP drawer, people that are not used to the MIUI GUI don't know two facts:

1. One can create a folder on the desktop, name it, and move apps into it.

2. The 4 icons on the lower slider are interchangeable. Long press on an icon on the slider will 'free' it to move to the desktop area, and vice versa. So after creating a desktop folder and moving apps to it, one can simply drag the folder to the slider. This is the best GUI of them all that does it built in, no plugins, and market crap needed..

I am fully aware many who never experienced MIUI may not like it, because it takes time to get used to, and because as new users to this GUI , they don't know the cool tricks. On another note- theme selection is allowing lots of graphical enhancements. The best of them all is the right to 'mix and match' from different themes and pick the best of each to ones liking. options are endless really, and there are lots of free downloads. Unlike other launchers that require purchase of the high end themes - the MIUI community is completely free (for now)..
[Galaxy S II General] linggo:
yes..you can
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
If you have rooted phone, and CWM installed, and you wipe clean the phone (data, chache, Dalvik) the answer is - can be done from any ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] xelin0:
People missing an app drawer should check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154299

Simple and easy to customise, I now just use folders for apps on the left homescreen, and have the drawer if ever I need it.
[Galaxy S II General] tinzy71:
Why only english supported language ?
[Galaxy S II General] lethalboy:
is me or the web is not working?? trying to download the rom :(

EDIT: Now is working!!
[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
As with original Galnet MIUI the original rules of installation apply. If your phone gets madly hot while doing very little it is recommended to do a wipe of the SD card along with everything else.... if you're not sure how to do that and put the flashable zip back on the phone without anorher rom installed then this is not for you.

*hint - you can mount as USB from within cwm.

OBVIOUSLY create a backup of the things you need on your sd card first and then just pop it back on once flashed.

Going back to people complaining about the lack of an app drawer... get used to putting things in folders and using different screens for different types of apps, MIUI's implementation is by far the best in my opinion, also, the amount of and beauty of the different themes is truly something to behold, I don't think any other roms really compare in that department.

This is all without mentioning the bloody insane speed of MIUI...
[Galaxy S II General] lucalaco:
I have 3 problem ! ! !

1 - i don't know where i can set the camera save the photo, i want to save in external SD but i don't find it

2 - when i select a mp3 or mp4 file in Ringtone setting the audio file when i receive a call don't work ! WHY ?? Instead if i select an mp3 or mp4 file for SMS Notification sound it's work correctly.

3 - the gallery don't show the preview for the video . and when i see anyone with Galnet Video it work's with a lot of stop and out of sync with the voice .

Volume Issue

I have to say, I always loved MIUI for its customization, frequesnt development and IPhone ass kicking-ness :D. The only thing that keeps forcing me to change is that when I increase the volume, it only increases half way and wont change the volume even if the bar says it's supposed to. Is there any fix for this? If so then this rom is perfect :D

Because it's volume down and menu soft key I think.

Volume-down and Menu (softkey on the left) is indeed the wright combination.

Go to: Settings > Display > Brightness> Advanced > Custom dim levels (or something similar, I'm using a Dutch version of Miui). Set all button levels to 0 and save. If your buttons are still on you have to install a different kernel like Siyah.

Some people reported volume problems only with BT. I can confirm BT volume from the phone side is not letting you go all the way up, but I am lucky as my volume in thecar is through the audio system and it does not matter.

I plan to flash over 1.11.7 without wipe.. Should be seamless (or so I hope)

i flashed the 1.11.7 ics version and i like it. one question, the backlight for menu and back keys always stay on when the screen is on right? someone posted the setting to keep it off permanently. but i want it to stay on for a few seconds on any interaction with the screen then go off again. any way to do that?

[Galaxy S II General] rachnov55:
I too had this problem when i first installed 1.11.7, via what I thought was a "clean" install.

I wiped data, flashed stock rom, rooted, wiped data, installed 1.11.7

but it was insanely hot all the time and I was draining 1% every minute or 2. Despite wiping data and reflashing other roms over and over, the problem persisted.

In the end, I formatted the sd card and also the internal storage via connection to PC, flashed stock rom via pc, flashed 1.11.7, booted into recovery, wiped data, and restored apps, and now I'm having the best battery life ever.
[Galaxy S II General] makbari:
I'm using 3G only and 2 account sync and push mail.. Basically it need to recharge after 9 hours

Btw if iwant to install 1.11.9 from 1.11.7 still need full wipe or not?

Thank you it does work, however it disables light completely. Anyway I found solution - i disabled button enable soft buttons in screen filter and now whenever I turn screen filter on, my buttons go off. I use screen filter at the night anyway so, this is good solution.

I never saw smooth transitions like this in any other android ROM/device before. It's actually the only ROM that I can see live wallpapers working without any lag (which I don't only because of battery life).

Maybe it's a placebo effect but me like it :D

I've been using this ROM since yesterday. It's a great ROM, very very stable and reliable, even FM Radio works great.

But it's draining my battery a lot faster (that's my one and only concern so far). Can someone point me to a best battery saver kernel for this ROM? I've downloaded Siyah v2.2 beta 6, but if someone have a better idea I'll give it a try. I don't care about performance, don't play any heavy game, I just want my battery up until the end of the day.
[Galaxy S II General] brack11:
anyone can compare 1.11.7. to 1.11.9 ? and also concerned about battery (actually my major concern with all roms) Tried Syan kernel but it was kinda buggy, lots of hangs and when I chose to install from CWM, and click on "chose zip file" it pointed me to external sd card instead of internal. I put my file on external one and tried to flash but it gave me error saying that file .../sdcard/myfilename.zip doesnt exists???!! well, of course it doesnt because I piced it from .../sdcard/external_sd/myfilename.zip glad that I got rid of that kernel for now.
