New development by Galnet for I9100. Please note: This is NOT ICS porting , just ICS framework. All apk in it are NOT from ICS release.. only framework!

Loaded and will report how it tests. Installed without any issues at all, using CWM with full wipe coming from AndroidMIUI 1.11.4.

Areas of concern:

1. No service bug - changelog suggest it is resolved.

2. Battery life.

(not reporting problems, just stating what will be tested).

I started this thread as I have seen it on the AT&T forum, but actually it can be installed on the SGS2 I9100 and I did not see any thread about it on the SGS2 section.

Many thanks for the developers. Really appreciate their work, and I hope I do not violate any 'rules' publishing the link .. :)

Edit: 15 hours with original Kernel -

1. Battery life: Decent 4%/hr in moderate usage without Juice defender. 1% loss over night with phone idle.

2. BT - Nothing wrong with it. Paired few headsets, and a car BT easily, and steady. See edit 2 for a potential bug with non original kernel.

3. Reception - better than ever. with KI4 modem calls are clear (better than before) , Wi-Fi sensitivity is greater.

4. See edit 2

5. Browser: Works great with Opera mobile. Never liked any other one.

6. themes, skins, wallpaper: Supports all on-line (downloadable) ones from MIUI.

7. Update (KIES like) - works.

8. Undervoltage/overclock (setCPU) - not supported by original Kernel - untested.

9. Siyah 2.1.1 testing - What for ? :) happy with original.

Edit 2:

BUG REPORT:

1. Siyah kernel ver 2.2 works great with 1.11.9

2. Have some sleep of death issues with 2.11.26 combined with Siyah kernel 2.2 and setCPU . No UV involved to make it happen. Back to 1.11.9

2. Rebooting into recovery with charger connected (not PC) will guaranty NO SERVICE coming back (at least on my device).

This ROM is build on the ICS framework but the user interface is MI

so it looks like any other MIUI ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] mtrxneo01:
what kernal are you using for this. I am currently using the cognition mod v1.5.1 with ninphetamine 2.1.3. wondering what i need to change before i flash to this and is there any bugs.

[Galaxy S II General] minty1978:
As the 3rd post states, it uses the ics framework. It is not a full ics rom.
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Its a MIUI ROM, not AOSP or Samsung, so either you keep the original kernel that comes with the ROM (what i am doing right now), or you go with the few CM7 supported ones, like Siyah 2.1.1 or similiar. The ROM you are on right now is not MIUI, which is a complete different animal. Please read about it, before you jump into it. Some are going to hate the MIUI approach, looks and feel, but i am personally in love with their development, and world wide support .. They simply took Google's android and open source one step further (just my humble opinion) and came out with a ~100Mbyte image that has EVERYTHING ones needs in a OS.. and more..

1.11.7 + Siyah Kernel v2.2beta4

Everything's pretty smooth. Even the battery life seems decent for now. Testing needed, of course.

I have a question. I really want to put this on my phone. I currently have Lightning rom and ninphetmine kernel on here. How do I install the rom? Donwload it onto SD. Do a nandroid backup and titanium backup? What do I wipe? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Freka:
For the people testing it, please let us know if the battery life is improved and if the headphone volume bug is gone.

Also can I just flash this over my own version of MIUI without wipe?

Thanks.

sorry I am just confused but from what i understand is that this rom comes with its own kernel and if i flash it onto my phone it will replace my current kernel and rom right.

i noticed that the new gallery is bugged. You can not scroll to the right side...

The gallery which is on your first homescreen works perfectly
[Galaxy S II General] Lulabby:
Correct.
[Galaxy S II General] samit.mahap:
The battery life is ok at 50% with 2 hrs display time and 1 hour of calling, half an hour of music and radio.

Headphone volume was never a problem, I use the audioboostsgs2 app which kinda gives me decent performance.
[Galaxy S II General] samit.mahap:
Use quickpic, its always a better replacement for gallery.
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
Read few pages back?

Hint: SD card needs format.. copy content somewhere else, format SD card, insert empty back to the phone, and let it stable (will cool down) , then copy files back.
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
I can say that after 24 hours battery drain is about the same as you had before. Give it few battery cycles and see if it improves. I think it will, as mine did pretty much the same.. now back to normal (my base line is 4%/hr with moderate use, and I am at about 4% now on 1.11.9)

I'm having problems selecting mp3's for use as a ringtone. It all goes well when selecting. But it will not play when somebody's making a call!?

I have tried choosing .ogg as well - Same problem.

Read that another user in this thread had the exact same problem, but no one answered his question I think.

Any luck this time? :)

...and I've gotta say this is a great rom. Came from the official MIUI, but this seems smoother and maybe a little more stable.

Looking forward to use this rom and to see how it performs in the long run!
[Galaxy S II General] colin12345:
Found a ringtone fix

I was having the same problem. This is how I solved it: I put new ringtones in the system/media/audio/ringtones folder. Then instead of selecting the ringtone from the usual list, I clicked on "Select from another app" and chose the Music folder. All of my ringtones were there. I selected the one I wanted there, and now the ringtone works. This also seems to fix the problem where the phone only rings once and then just vibrates.

Hope this helps.

Edit: I used ogg files but this should work with mp3s too.
[Galaxy S II General] menkromsen:
Thanks a lot :D

That sure did the trick!

That was the only bug I've experienced so far, so it was good getting rid of it :)
[Galaxy S II General] colin12345:
Glad to hear it. It only seems to be a problem on the ICS Rom. No idea why but I'm sure it'll get fixed. :)

It really is a fantastic Rom so far.

some question and need an experience persons to answer please...

i tiered of installing and flashing of the roms...

i used to use MIUI 2.3.7 lately and even miui ics 1.11.7 and also i installed lot

sammy roms ... (custom roms )

1) what is the exact benefit of miui roms ? ( i found almost same speed between sammy and miui -- i don't care what quardnate says ... i speak of experiment )

2) in the latest miui ics 1.11.9 do we have a battery consuming as same as stock sammy roms?

3)can we flash speedmode kernel ( the latest ) on it ?

4)does it (miui ics 1.11.9 ) support RTL for arabic/persian language ?

5)do we have the same quality camera and camcorder as stock ? ( i don't understand why they don't work on it )

thank you so much to answer my Qs!!!
[Galaxy S II General] squall_kay:
1. not all people fan of sammy base Touch Wiz rom. having alternative like MIUI and CM7 are good choice for peoples.

2. im having good battery life with moderate use. using siyah kernal. UV and using smartazzv2 / lulzactive as governor. can last nearly 30 hours with extended battery

3. nope. speedmod IINM is for touchwiz base camera.

4. not sure becoz i dont bother about it. IINM, got people release fix for it. perhaps u can search inside xda.

5. stock much better especially on SGS2 screen (looks more vibrant and less noise). in pc also much better.

y they didnt work on it? i dont hv answer. but logical thinking they are developing this MIUI as fun and release as FOC. they dont get paid like sammy's software engineer. and off course understand their device better thus can produce better camera software for their device.

:D
[Galaxy S II General] vassalle:
Unfortunately this didn't work for me. What i've done:

1. moved an MP3 into the sytem/media/audio/ringtones folder &

2. Settings>sounds>ringtones - select using "themes". My MP3 file is now in the list.

Any ideas where I got it wrong? Do I need to convert it to ogg? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] colin12345:
Try selecting from "Music" instead of "Themes". Converting to ogg shouldn't be necessary. My mp3s seem to work fine.
[Galaxy S II General] vassalle:
Hi, I tried going down that path.. but the mp3 that I moved to sytem/media/audio/ringtones folder is not shown under "music".

selecting any other mp3 in "Music" doesn't work unfortunately.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] colin12345:
As I remember, this is how I did it:

Click on the Themes (not Settings) icon. Then on Ringtone. I then had an option at the bottom of the screen "Select from another app". This brought up a list of all my ringtones and I selected from there.

I've just noticed that all of my files are ogg (not mp3).

Check your APN settings. If you did a factory reset etc then chances are they were wiped aswell.;)
[Galaxy S II General] thealmightysaj:
Will this rom feature the card based multitasking?
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
1) MIUI is a nice GUI with customization options of 'mix and match' from any MIUI theme you like. You can have icons from one set, wallpaper from another, you can setup your slider any way you like, create folder on home screen, etc. I find it to be fun to play with, on top of a very fast ROM. it is only 120M image, compared to about 320M of Samsung, and it does more for me than AOSP or Samsung. Can't comment about Sammy's as I have never tried those.

2) After few cycles battery life is as good as any other ROM. I know some people get 30 hours with tweaks, but let's face it, if it gives 15 hours of use between charges, it is good enough. I get more than 15 hours without any tweaks.

3) Try Siyah if you don't think the kernel coming with 1.11.9 is not good enough. I stay with the original kernel (can be OC and UV using setCPU) and am happy with it. Siyah is very advanced, but like any wild horse - will kick your butt for doing something stupid. As you said - you are tiered of flashing..

4) http://hotfile.com/dl/134659356/755b676 ... x.zip.html

5) Ahhh, yes, Camera performance sucks, compared to the original Samsung one. I guess they did not bother to play with drivers too much for our SGS 2. Actually I don;t think the original MIUI folks even support SGS2.. Another possible reason is the development is SDK based, and then the camera driver is not as good as a complete released one. Keep in mind the ICS was not written to support our phone (yet).

Headphones ..?

i have this issue..i noticed on the MIUI..i am not sure if this can be solved..

i have my headset connected..listening to some pearl jam...at work...its quiet..and i get a mail notification...the office silence is broken by the really loud pearl jam song i was listening to and my notification tone!!!!

it seems the phone speaker comes on even when i have the headset connected..and it doesnt filter out the notification tone, rather it plays the music and the notification tone at the same time. I am searching for an option to switch off phone speaker when headphones are connected. Does anyone know anythin about this?

Siyah hernels

I have tried Siyah kernels for a long time. Ever since ver 2.2b6 my car's BT refuses to connect. with the original 1.11.9 kernel, and until 2.2.b6 I did not experence this issue.

Anyone else is trying Siyah's kernel and have this issue? I wouldn't report the bug with him if i am the only one...
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
No service bug !!!!!!!!!!

OK folks, I have managed to reproduce the NO service bug consistently doing the following:

1. have the phone connected to a charger (not a PC)

2. Reboot into recovery while charging.

3. Reboot back.

Most likely the phone will be back with no service (phone or data) although not in airplane mode. Rebooting normal may not resolve the issue. I had to go back to recovery and flash the ROM again , making sure I don't have the charge connected. It happened on me few times but i could not figure out what triggered it. Today I was in the car, with the new Siyah 2.2.b9 Kernel, and no BT connection (see previous post). Stopped the car on the curb, and while the phone in the cradle (charging) went into recovery to flash the original kernel, as I need BT. rebooting - no service ! had to go again into recovery and flash again, this time with no USB connection.

Got home and tried to reproduce it- I can get the 'no service' bug by rebooting into recovery while charging ..

Do not reboot the phone into recovery when USB connected. at least not while charging. looks like a CWM5 issue , not sure if this is MIUI related, as there are too many new things at once..:eek::mad:

[Galaxy S II General] BillSplate:
So this was a few days back and I really like it. Lite'ning was good, but this feels even better. I'm looking forward to the future to see ICS be fully implemented in this MIUI version.

I don't have the problem anymore that my phone is turning really hot. Formatting the SD card was the solution for that.

BLN isn't supported and I miss that at the moment. I'm using the standard kernel that comes with the ROM. I've read that Siyah supports something like BLN, but I'm currently satisfied with the ROM and kernel and that's why I'm not going to flash another kernel at this moment.

I watched the movies with Galnet Videos, but it wasn't that smooth. I don't use videos that much any more, so it doesn't matter.

I'm really happy with the ROM. The Ultimate iPhone themes looks great with some widgets. Yesterday I flashed Extended Controls for MIUI, but after a few reboots to see my changes I only got FC's on the MIUI Launcher and other Android programmes. Due to that I had to flash the ROM again and that was annoying, but now I've used the MIUI Backup also. I don't think that the FC's were because of this MIUI ICS ROM but due to Extended Controls since they officially don't support Galnet's MIUI ROM. Now everything is working great!
[Galaxy S II General] BigE:
@Billspalte - about this: "I watched the movies with Galnet Videos, but it wasn't that smooth. I don't use videos that much any more, so it doesn't matter."

I hate to say the only down side I have with this release is that camera performance (and video) are really low, compared to a Samsung ROM.

My assumption is it comes from the lack of a driver to support the Samsung hardware . Looks like the SDK port for SGS2 is based on a generic video driver by CM7 folks, and the end result is not doing any justice to a superb hardware of our phone... I will have to live with it, until a formal Samsung release of ICS that will allow porting a driver..

I read that using the camera and camcorder aren't that good. I also think that MIUI lacks some driver support and that's the reason not everything is as good as a Samsung ROM. Hopefully we'll see a fix anytime soon for the people who use the camera and/or camcorder often.
