Full wipe every time ;) Don't trust upgrades at this early stage...

Also - was reporting the camera stuff since he was specifically working on that for this build - well aware of the ICS/DesireZ caveats.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
full wipe required?

Congrats on the excellent work mate, looking forward to RC0.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TobiS87:
Damn, so no 2.2.17 update in sight?! Just saw that MIUI Music v4 will be included! Only thing that keeps me from flashing this ROM again. :)

Nevertheless great work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
haven't seen any graphical glitches on sms app. I flashed over aplha 3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I can confirm that there are gfx glitches.

Honestly guys how does this build feel? I'm not impressed. Going to take another look at it tonight.

So far so good! Quite smooth!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brashmadcap:
Thank you

First off, thank you. This is an incredible start. A few things I have noticed though:

1. Geolocation in apps doesn't work

2. This is noticeably less smooth than other ICS ROMs

3. This is WAY slower than other ICS ROMs

Just my observations, hoping to contribute. I AM NOT COMPLAINING. Anyway, YMMV, and once again thank you to the devs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] javaman83:
Awesome. Thanks. Let me know if you need someone to test.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wujxin:
It seems that the Security App doesn't work , when turn on the Permission Monitor , it would turn off automatically after a few moment .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JohnnyBoyLive:
I've been waiting for this! I'll try it out and follow development for sure. Thank you for this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
Been playing since last night. Seems to be smooth and fast.

Couple of points so far.

1. No option to sort apps alphabetically in folders (could be a missing feature in miui 4).

2. Due to the above, I was organising apps and the the graphic for the icon was about half a screen length above where it should be. Drop location was fine with other icons moving out the way.

If there is a way to get sorting back then ill be happy :)

Going to test other things like video, gps etc over the next couple of days.

Loving it so far and if this is alpha then I can wait to use the final :D

Thanks

Was having a look at Wi-Fi Calling, Here is a zip to test if anyone wants to be a Guinea Pig http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12564111/Wi-Fi_Calling.zip
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
Found another thing.

When receiving texts that come with +44 at the start instead of 0 it fails to recognize the number in contacts. If I then go to that contact and select send message, it shows the name. But then reverts back to no name after receiving another message.

If no one else is having this then I'll try a wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ericino:
I have the same thing, albeit with +31 numbers.

On a different note: After removing a bunch of apps from the ROM and installing a different launcher, this thing is awesomely smooth :o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
is this the new build talking about in affinity or the new build is on affinity rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
This rom is not a Virtuous project. It's just me because I'm bored.

I kinda have wifi calling working, but you need to re activate it after each call, but hey its a start and I figured it out by myself. :)

I'm probably not going to post the update today or tomorrow. I'm busy now and don't have time to do the upload. And I think there is more that I can do to make it better.

What is it with these damn MIUI roms and not having auto brightness working correctly??! When i click auto brightness all the soft keys and keyboard light shut off and will not come back on until i turn it off. And how come there is no adjustable auto brightness as in other miui roms?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
important question:

does backup work from previous version to this version?

this is amazing.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lowlife546:
it feels smooth to me but i did get a glitch on the launcher this morning and had to force close it. Pretty bummed bc it was the reason i stopped using the other ics roms, but it's not happening as frequently yet so that is a good sign.

Also is there no more crt animation? Keep up the great work mang looking forward to updates.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] subedaman:
So far so good, just noticed though, there doesn't seem to be a Google Talk application. Whenever I install custom through Aroma, it doesn't give me Google Talk, tried three times with a full wipe. Hopefully this can be fixed soon, other than that, loving the build (:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
Stock browser now has fuzzy preview when I resize a page. This issue has been present in every ICS I've tried but was fixed in all your alpha builds.

I am having no joy with chrome. It freezes on opening and never displays a page.

Camera is improved. No FC, no corruption so long as res is set to vga and preview is working.

Overall is seems smoother that the alphas but slower. No swap with this kernel either :(

I'm going back to my alpha3 nandroid as the stock browser issue is imporant for me. Obviously hoping for another update soon.

Thanks for all the hard work :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ilea94:
Aroma UI is really nice. Will se if i can use it as a DD or have to switch back to Gb Miui.

I updated beta1 last night, and this works quite ok and smooth.

quite big battery drain compared to alpha3!

last night it was in charger, couple hours this morning and 25% battery has gone, normally with this kind of use battery have been gone 1-5%.

Bug report here: My phone is not listed in the market.android.com web interface. I can download stuff off the market on my phone just fine, but the website tells me there is no phone associated with my account. Is this a known bug? I searched this thread for it, and found nothing. Did not have this problem with any other ICS ROM that I've tried in the last couple of weeks...

Hey cjward23, I downloaded the MIUI_Au ICS Base 2.2.17 from their website and using 4Ext it took me to a cool looking installation but it would not respond to my touch just the power button and I couldn't get it installed. Does that mean its not meant for Desire Z yet?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
No, its perfectly meant for desire Z, i have ported v2.2.17 to vision and everything is working fine except for the lower values of auto brightness, once it is fixed, I could release it if anybody wants to test it before cjward releases an update.

It has new MIUI media player, but the equalizer is not working, not sure if its a MIUI problem or I'm missing something.

Edit : Talk is also working with default aroma installation. No further need to move around the app.

So how would I go about installing it? Do I need CWM recovery or shuld I try again? And ill take the download u got please

Hi, to those using Beta 1, how smooth is the home screen in comparison to say, CM7 or gingerbread MIUI? I last used this ROM when it was at alpha 3 and the home screen wasn't quite so smooth (it was definitely usable though (Y)), everything else was fast but it seems that all ICS ROMs have laggy home screens from what i've seen. So is this ROM any different in that regard?

Thanks CJ.

backing up current MIUI install and going to be flashing the beta 2.

I started finding more and more bugs with the RC3 version. most importantly, the browser wouldn't really connect to websites no matter what connection I was utilizing. Well, at least in Chrome Beta it didn't.

Chrome Beta may be a little too buggy at this point to use on most devices that it's not optimized for. I dunno!

Question:

as per the MIUI changelog you posted a link to:

- Repair can't use Bluetooth headset

Does this mean that the Bluetooth Fix that you provided with previous versions is now obsolete, and pushed to the MIUI release as a fix?

Aroma installer is cool! Now I get what it is. LOL. always reluctant to add another step in the mix when upgrading to nice shiney new roms, but AromaUI does make it much cooler.

As for the new Beta2, I noticed my ram widget is reporting much less ram at times, but I have to use the rom a bit more to investigate further.

Also: Backup function from a previous rom version seems to work :-)

has the issue of number saved without country code being not being recognized as a saved contact been solved at the MIUI ? the only thing that made me switch back to ILWT was this problem.

if an sms or a call arrives , its sender number will be +92xxx-xxxxxxx (country code added)

The system will show it as unknown number.

This is a MIUI bug, I don't know how to fix it.

call quality was ok in my brief tests.

I can make a patch to disable it. But it's not configurable at the moment.

The miui music app is still in development and I guess not fully functional. Honestly I don't see what all the fuss is about though, CM9 player is much nicer.

Having an issue with Battery Usage with Beta2

I set my daemon controller to my previous settings that I've been using for RC3.

My wake profile is 300mhz/1500mhz/ondemand (mhz are approximations)

sleep is 300mhz/800mhz/ondemand (mhz are approximations)

applied settings, left voltages stock. and every 20 minutes i have 2 or 3 percent less battery life.

My CPU widget is usually delayed by about 3 to 4 seconds.

In that 3 to 4 seconds, I usually see it jump from 300 to 1500 and then hovers around 1100 if just scrolling screens.

However, with Beta2, I see that as soon as I unlock, its already showing me 1500...

is something keeping the kernel from dipping the speed down during sleep?

No running programs in the task killer. Not running nova launcher (stock launcher is my pref.)
