@JP, once again great work.. really appreciate it....!!!!

Tested V8 and below is my initial impression :

- Youtube lag fixed - works flawlessly in HQ mode too :)

- Really fast and smooth.

- HW acceleration working great!!!

- as stated video recording starting but not working - i recorded for 10 seconds and mp4 file got saved (451K? which i guess is not actual recording) but not opening.

- Vibration is not low it's actually improved per my knowledge

- MIUI backup is fully working.

- i didnt had audio stutters before so no idea on that.

Overall - great great great work GM - Many Thanks. :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitinvaid:
does anyone know that is there

miui extended mod settings for MIUI 2.2.3 avaliable
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
i think i know a bug

i am using the built in miui lock on contacts sms etc.

So when i open a app with lock pattern lock like on contacts so it shows a black screen first for a few seconds then it shows the lock pattern lock

also on other apps which i have not put lock it shows a black screen for first then it opens

it is not a major problem but if you can help me it would be great

v9 if could improve the battery drain will be perfect. In any case is fantastic and great job!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] coolpix90:
@gm

Your work is incredible!! You bring us the hope every day!

one question...if i make a miui back up, can i use it with the next release?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Diskun:
Man, you are a true ROM Artist! :p

Thank you very much for this new version. As stated before, if this fixed the battery drain it would be just perfect (even without video recording!).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gm007:
i think yes cause i know where the battery drain come from.

the problem is that when you press the back key to close an appilcation,this app does not shutdown so it stay in memory and the process does not stop.

so i will check the memory management for next release.

sure you can :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Wow seems most of the mounting issues has been rectified, Phone booted up faster and better than v7, I hope the battery life is promising.

Edit : The popup doesn't ask to exit the app leaving it to consume memory, Problem is when you clear the RAM cache for space the phone stutters and feels a fresh boot, Seems for some reason it reapplies NoFrills per app clear.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
thanks jP..rom quite smooth now

anyone can create External_To_Internal_Fix for v8?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neutronz:
it is ok without clear cache,dalvik, & batt status?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
hi>.<

was the blacklight fixed???

just want to ask.

and is it about the wakelock???

i want to help with
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Best to keep this for last, As it is there are mounting issues and it wouldn't be advisable

Edit: Some apps are missing, What exactly was removed? :O
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
No, you must clear cache and dalvik cache otherwise there most likely will be problems

Apart from Gallery changed and some other changes, I noticed it's really butter smooth, As in Messaging and Whatsapp no longer lags like dialup. Ive been able to swap from one to the other and finally all my folders showed up in MIUI Music player.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Siso93:
VERY GREAT!!!

i've tested it now xD

only one question: every1 has tried the language pack?

(back there was an italian one but i'm not sure it would work!)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] varunthapliyal999:
Awesome work gm!!

Everything that was previously working works

Youtube video works without lag - YAAAY!! :D

Haven't checked stock video player yet :p

Audio stutter still there,although i think it is lesser than before :) (will test more to let you know)

As you said screenshot is not saved

As for battery life i guess it was great in v7 as well,dont know why people are getting less battery backup,my phone's battery lasted 1day and 7 hrs after 1 charge,although it was in deep sleep 70% of the time :D (excluding the fact that i turned on the battery monitor after 1hr)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hjs89:
You can use the same Fix than in older versions. It only changes the vold.fstab file.

I'm testing some things now.

- Screenshoot continues rebooting my phone :(

- About videos, Maybe its a codec problem? I can play perfectly my videos that I recorded on Froyo, but the ones in GB (XXKPH) no, it can't open it or the player freezes and the phone starts to be laggy and buggy.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitinvaid:
the rom is really fast than v7

but i always use lionheart governer bit it is not their in vurrut kernel

which is best governer for fast scrolling without lag
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lucky700:
Update from V7 > V8 Successfull. version is show V8

but after install swap External to internal SD for V7 version is show V7.

Sorry bro This Fixed with Upper post.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gm007:
Disabling the icons shadows and keep in memory in launcher settings speed up the scrolling but need a reboot when done.

And closing unused screen also.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pekador:
I have installed vurrut v3 and not mounts the external sd card.

First of all, clear Dalvik, partition and cache. Installed the Rom and Vurrut and after that I cleared again the cache, partition and Dalvik

was not mounting.

I have installed only the ROM and now I can change the themes and mount the external SD Card

But I was happy getting the vurrut v3
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ganeshbiyer:
Great work buddy.

I am loving it.:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lucky700:
Every thing work fine

After swap SD card when connect USB they show both internal/external :D

Very Cool

Big Thx to JP for this; From Thailand Users;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
Wow thanks gm007! and we are on 2012 is true!! hahaha. But one question, you say that apps keep in going when pressing back arrow and then, they don't close. This is draining battery very fast but.. can we install some app killer like "advanced task killer" and set a frequency so that the program kills all the wanted apps in a period of time?

Congratulations gm007, you did it again, if you need us to test something just ask for it and de will do it. Then you have in mind what needs to be fixed and how to do it... and that's great because v9 will be amazing. I think video record and battery drain should be important aspects to be fixed in your next release.

Again, thanks

Well done JP. :)

I just got home and downloading v8 right now. Will come back with feedback.

Btw, check your PM.. from y'day! :rolleyes:

wipe cache and wipe data ISN'T the same thing. you must wipe only cache and dalvik cache so you do not lose your apps.

both sd card "fixes" doesnt work. gane's switch is making two different internal sdcards + external. in file explorer the external files are in the 2. internal sd (emmc) but for example in titanium backup it doesnt show the space of the external at emmc.

(external 15,9 gb - internal 2,01gb) but now (external 15,9 - internal 2,01 - internal emmc 1,63)

with the sd switch above gane's post , the external is hidden for titanium AND not available in file explorer.

Anyone attending the forum for the first time knows how to read and is expected to have common sense and is also expected to participate in the process without being lazy or considering the forum as customer support!

We don't teach reading and common sense on this forum, unfortunately. Imagine if 50 people like you came here for the first time and started asking similar questions, where would that take the thread/forum?

I do not wish to offend you but sometimes it just gets on our nerves.

Back to topic:

People who've flashed Vurrut v3 over the new release, do you see any significant improvements (or downfall) in the governor performance? Any other changes you see? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ganeshbiyer:
I was on Vurrut V3 on Jp-miui V7. Smartassv2+cfq. On v8 it is much the same. No change.

Same for Lagfree+vr also.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neutronz:
i feel a downfall.. lil bit lag when scrolling :(

when using v7 + vkernel v3, everything goes fine
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Thanks.

I was on Vurrut v3 on the previous release too (V7) and it was all fine. I just wanted to know if there are any significant gains with Vurrut v3 on this release except for the extra bins and schedulers.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Okay, thanks.

Did you leave the system to settle down a bit, it takes an hour or so to get settled with new kernel and governor settings.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] HeathenMan:
with baksmali scrolling is smoother than in v7^^

im on vurrutKER v3

youtube hq works fine.

hd video play is fine. no need for another video players.

i couldnt feel much difference about smoothness between v7 & v8. almost the same for me. but the existing smoothness is enough for me. not looking for more :)

video recording still doesnt work.

i did not test screencapture.

its going well. good work. thanks again gm.

i use 300/1000 smartassv2 with bfq scheduler on vurrut v3 but i extracted the boot.img and put it in the rom.

about games i'm not a fan so i don't know :)

for people who need the adfree just copy and set permissions for the file "hosts" located in system/etc from v7.;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jayharper08:
I've cleaned the thread and issued infractions. Really getting tired of feeling like I'm running a baby-sitting service. If you have something to ask about this rom then ask. That does not mean "OH OH OH when is such and such coming out?!!" Or, "I want this now!!" Infractions lead to bans, and the way I'm feeling right now, they won't be temporary bans either. And that means language too. If you aren't sure about what the rules say, look at the sticky right on top of the section......

LoL you are right :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] !n0x:
Quoted a few pages awhile back, but I guess you can opt for a quick solution MIUI offers natively.

Settings > System > Button Settings

Then turn on Long-press to kill app and put delay at 0.5 secs. I've tested it and it works for most applications except what the phone really needs the most (e.g. Phone, Messaging).

EDIT: doesn't seem to work on Superuser

Oh, and good work on teh v8! I just flashed vurrut v3 and it does not lag a lot as compared to v7. Will try to test it more and take note. Good job on this

OT, but srsly thinking of going back to Android :))
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gm007:
Yes i know about this feature ;)

I fixed some memory issues in v8 but not 100% .there is something that prevent the apps to shutdown normally maybe need more tweaks?i will check the battery tomorrow while at work.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Diskun:
Ok, my first impressions on this one.

· The translation pack works nearly perfect in Spanish, only a few words missing probably due to the difference of features. Screens:

· Blacklight issue not present, never had it to begin with :P

· Scroll may not be as smooth as in V8 (using VurrutKER V3), but it's good enough.

· Still experiencing slight stuttering whilst listening to music using default player.

· Still having some Battery Drain.

· Got stuck in sleep once maybe due to me setting the phone to 120-600Mhz conservative on sleep on SetCPU.

Aside from that, the little missing functionality (video and hotspot are two things I don't use) and being a work in progress,I think this ROM is great, probably the best for i9003 in looks and development.

Will report any more issues I get across with. GOOD JOB, MATE!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hjs89:
How did you translate it? I use the i9000 rom from miui.es and works fine for now.

About screenshots. If I done it touching the button on toggles it works fine, but if I press Vol.Down+Home the phone reboots :S

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] !n0x:
Also, idk if this is really present in the original MIUI roms, but there are no transitions activated in Landscape mode. It merely flashes a black screen for a few nanoseconds then goes back to the last screen (or in the case of the home button, the home screen). This also affects the camera, flashing a distorted image of the last thing we see via the camera viewfinder or w/e

My review:

Ftp work, miui backup work, shortcut for screen capture work but file located at /cache, bluetooth work, radio can scan but still cant play it, you tube HQ work without lag, change to saved themes work on UC kernel but cant change it when on vurut, dsp manager work (Thanks Ganesh), sound setting work (fc when use v6.5), language pack for v6.5 and RTL work, some time file explorer cant identify file type but solved after clearing cache.

Continue for other test..
