It should work, plug your phone in to pc and run a logcat, when you turn the screen on and of you should see an entry about Virtuous OC, and governor and clock speed.

Its working perfectly for me.

Including ilwt oc deamon as a configurable option in next release, I'm going to be testing it later to see if there are any obvious gains over virtuous oc

Gmail working perfectly here, full wipe would be a good idea :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
Much improved over beta 2. Thanks!

For me..

Virtuous OC working

Chrome working

Terminal em does FC but the one in Rom Manager is fine

Swap enabler script works

GMail works

CRT worked until I deleted the MIUI launcher

Stock browser has the render lag but it is improved

Camera works perfectly with res set to VGA

Sound recorder has never worked for me

A couple of requests...

In this thread there is a link to a gallery2.apk that works well with picasa.

I have tracked down a version of the cm9 music app with transparent widgets.

Would be great if these were included as options in the installer.

Also when selecting Nova launcher is it possible to tell Aroma to not install the miui launcher? There is a massive performance increase if I uninstall that launcher when using nova.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a.s.j:
Just for you to know... other ROMs work OK, this one does not see my WiFi network unless I set it to fixed Chnnel, it just does not see the network set to Auto negotiate the channel... :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I will remove terminal em from system/app in the next release and make it an option in Aroma,

There is not much I can do in the way of improving the camera or browser rendering, have to wait for that stuff to filter down from the real devs :D

Will have a look at sound recorder, I have an idea about that

A couple of requests...

Will look at gallery2.apk, I don't use picasa so its not something I have given any thought.

And great minds must think a like because the other 2 ideas are on my list :D

Cheers for the feedback
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
This is weird. I remember it being in other MIUI roms, but where is the option to shut the Gmail notifier up after a certain number of beeps. Before it was a simple 3 sounds, now it goes on all night if I get an email and I can't seem to find the settings here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NoFatePPC:
isnt 4.0 able to create peak and off peak schedules in the email application?

for example only sync between 08.00 till 23.00 or something?

i remember that option on the original HTC sense rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phpchris:
I'm very impressed with how this ROM is turning out, it seems very stable so far.

One suggestion: would it be possible to make the hardware keyboard Enter key send messages instead of entering a new line in apps like the sms app and whatsapp?

The vanilla ICS ROMs I've tried all do this so I think its something MIUI purposely change. It would be great if this was configurable.

If someone can point me in the right direction to make this happen it would be much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Delta105RUS:
Aroma UI gives crashes after I select OC/without OC option. Can not install.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Yeah I know, you have to select it at the moment. I looking at the script now and trying to fix it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Haay1971:
Coming from the Alpha 2.5 ROM I did a complete wipe of Cache and data and installed the Beta 2 through Recovery.

The AromaUI looked good and it all worked well. But now I am not passing the boot-logo (MIUI_Au logo). It just keeps showing that logo and won't continue.

What am I doing wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NoFatePPC:
please no! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Haay1971:
While installing the ROM and the apps I chose through AromaUI all indications are green and no errors.

How long is a first-time boot after flashing of this ROM supposed to take? More than 5 minutes?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
depends what you have checked to install, i found it did take a few minutes to boot, maybe its worth redownloading and flashing again, wiping data, cache and dalvik cache (:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chrusb:
For whatsapp it's a setting in the options.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
Regarding the gmail fc'ing, I'm using k9 for now. Gonna try wiping gmail data then restarting the sync. I'd rather do that than full wipe as I have a game of little empire going that I don't want to lose :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
Can we do screenshots in the rom? Power + volume doesn't do it for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
in miui its menu + vol down.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Haay1971:
Unfortunately, I just could NOT get the Beta2 ROM to work. :(

In the end I resorted to flashing the Alpha 2.5 version again, which installed flawlessly. I don't know and don't understand why I can't flash the Beta2 version...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaydog69:
Where do u have the issues
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
My most recent experience with this rom:

Gmail is now working. Cleared app data and force stopped it. Been fine ever since.

The only other issue I have is the screen isn't quites as responsive and acurate. Most notably with the onscreen keyboard I have been hitting the wrong letters so much that it spells stuff wrong even with the excellent prediction in ICS.

It could be that my fingers are getting fatter but in 1 day? ;)

Overall I'm very happy and will be using this rom for a long while. :D

Edit:

I'm afraid I'm not a fan of the aroma UI. For flashing after a full wipe its ok but over the top flashes leaves me wandering if I should tick the apps I already have installed. This time round I didn't and it kept my existing apps. All it would take is a tweak of the script to remove this and all my apps would go on an update.

Is there any way to make it clear that you don't need to tick apps that are already installed? Either in the UI or on the OP?

Cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
Ok I am in love with this rom! I loved the AROMA interface. This is the first rom I have tried with that.

Thanks so much for all of your amazing work cj. It did start out really slow for some reason though... It is very fast now though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lance36:
I just LOVE this rom... i've just found a couple of strange behavior maybe someone can give me a hand?

- "failed to apply theme" when i try to change lockscreen wallpaper... cant find a way around this

- The mail widget sometimes wont update at all, or it just updates the count for unread mail, not the actual mail content.

- is there a way to enable the "app" drawer like in other launchers? its nice to have all application on desktop pages but i think i prefer the good old approach :)

for everything else... this rom is just stunning.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phpchris:
1. If you open the theme manager and customize your current theme, you should be able to edit the lockscreen wallpaper then.

2. Not sure about this

3. MIUI has never had an app drawer unfortunately. You can use folders which offer similar functionality. Of course you're free to install another launcher which does have an app draw.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
For app drawer there are a few options you can try.

You can put all the apps in to a single folder. This essentially gives you an app drawer with the added bonus of being able to arrange the icons to your liking.

There are app drawer apps on the market.

My preferred option is to install Nova launcher (search forum). This replaces the miui launcher and gives you a 'genuine' ics launcher.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Haay1971:
Finally managed to install Beta2 on my phone.... *phew*

Anyway, I miss Google Talk as application in this ROM ! --> installed it through GApps....

And maybe it will improve later on, but I had the impression that Alpha 2.5 was a bit faster, smoother, than this Beta2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
A2.5 and B2 felt more like a tie to me...Although I think that B2 is a bit on the faster side...Nothing noticeable or performance impacting though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
Videocam Illusion (free, in market) gives a working camcorder for this rom! Thanks to Taz for the tip.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaydog69:
Is the grafix issue on the lockscreen a miui issue or can you fix it because when I go to land scape on the lockscreen it shows half the lock and half the regular screen?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I think it depends on the lockscreen you use. Not all lockscreen themes support landscape. I doubt I can fix it

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lance36:
solved the issue with the lockscreen wallpaper.

thanks for the hint on the folder as a drawer, i'll give it a try :)

the only problem for now its the email widget that wont work at all...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lance36:
now its working... now its not... i cant really get a pattern...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
I'm not sure if anyone is following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1425324

But people have been requesting for HTC to release the source code for our precious G2 and they got this:

http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P100

I'm hoping this information can help assist in the development of a fully functional ICS rom for our devices.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 2stardiver:
this beta2 works well, but doesnt anyone got phone app FC so it asks pin code?

I did remove from asking pin code. tonight tested and put it back, it was closed again in my pocket.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ericino:
I've tried this, I get to record for about 2 seconds at lowest resolution and then it crashes the whole phone.

Has anyone else gotten this to work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
It works for me but is glitchy although it hasn't crashed my phone yet. Can shot video of any length but it is poor frame rate and quality. While recording if I switch on the led or try to change any settings (zoom, ...) the frame rate drops to virtually zero.

Better than nothing and some progress towards getting a working camcorder on the dz but far from fully functional.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
I gave this advise earlier and it got me thinking about using the proper miui launcher instead of nova. It is the app drawer that I would miss.

Has anyone come across an app drawer app that emulates the stock ics app drawer?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
Try apex launcher.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
Thanks, but I am looking for one where the app drawer can be installed independently of the launcher. Then I can have a ics-like app draw and a miui launcher.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptaylor09:
Might search this thread miuiandroid.com/community/threads/mod-extended-settings-menu-options.7738/ towards the end somewhere there is an extended settings download that is for miuiv4. But go from the last page back would b faster to find it. But if u find it it should work and there is an option to have an app draw on the miui launcher.

EDIT: JST GOT HEREandroid.gcfam.net/devs/andy/Extended_settings/2.2.10/ and download the miuisettings.apk. then install it and then go to the app draw n enable it and select where u want the pull down, and go to color options n change the background of it. Nothing else works n the app that I no of except the app draw n app draw coloring.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
Thanks, that sounds like exactly what I am looking for. Tried it but can't get it working. I am going to try on a fresh install and will report back.

Does work after a reboot and fixing permissions. Pretty basic app drawer but definitely an option and it allows you to hide apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptaylor09:
Its should work when u go into the app drawer settings tab at the bottom hit enable and the pull down will b jst below you status bar.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Hi guys,

I'm sorry to say that I will not be updating this weeks or for the foreseeable future, I am currently out of work and its getting to a point that if I don't get a new job soon I'm screwed.

So I am refocusing my attention and riding my self of some distractions one of which is this MIUI port.

I hope that as and when I get a new job and if time allows I will be able to continue doing weekly builds.

I would like to thank you all for you support.

Cheers

Chris
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
Good luck with your job search. Sometimes the real world just has to take priority :) Thanks for the work you have put in to this rom. For me it is a perfectly good dd as it is!

Max
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
thank you for your community involvement.

another rom bites the dust, but for good reason!

I'm still DDing this rom for now. and thanks for opening the ICS MIUI world up!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
for those of us still using this rom there is a fix for the latest chrome beta issue. Change ro.build.id to IML74K and reboot. Chrome will now believe that you are running ics.

To change build.props either edit them directly with es explorer or use adb. My preferred method is to use Rom Toolbox.

The latest beta is very smooth on this rom. For me it is much better than stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MaxWiz:
Just installed Angel Camera from the market (free app). This is giving me glitch free picture using the fine mode set to a resolution of 2048x1360. Much better than the stock camera or any other app I've tried.

Cannot install -- aroma-config error

I am also stuck on this error trying to install v2.2.17 (b2) on my G2... anyone know a way around this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Ok, I dont know if this is just me, but my permissions wont work. Superuser, and app permissions both turn themselves off right after I leave the security app. Any fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theone10:
It is no longer in active development
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] moneybagsxp:
using MIUI-v4 beta2 / v2.2.17

That's too bad this is no longer under development, it really is a great ROM.

fwiw, here's a couple of issues I noticed on my HTC G2 (Vision):

wired headphones not working (can hear audio, but no go on the mic)

netflix streaming video broken

as listed, the camcorder is not functional

camera is working slightly, but with noise at the top/bottom of photos. (panorama option broken, just green lines)

no google talk!

joining contacts via facebook not pulling in profile picture as main contact photo

pressing 'Enter' does not send an SMS message, it creates a new line.

* Not sure if this is an issue or not (considering it is MIUI afterall), but the User Agreement and Privacy Policy that are to be agreed to in order to use Online MIUI Themes are not localized for review in any language other than Chinese.

Anyhow, wanted to send my thanks for such a great ROM. For such an early release, it's almost entirely useable for most day-to-day tasks. I hope the other ICS ROMs are as good as this one has been!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xjaynee:
Good luck in the job hunt! I appreciate this ROM very much as I had been searching for ICS MIUI for a long while. I just downloaded this ROM, and it's wonderful. I hope you do come back in your spare time to make more improvements! : )

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rollex:
Thanks! Rubbed my head for a while here...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rollex:
- Camera takes half green photos and layout is all over the place

- Where can I get ICS themes?

- Seems to be quite slow compared to Gingerbread MIUI

Any other MIUI ICS ports to HTC Desire Z? Too bad development has been stopped for ANY MIUI on Desire Z currently... :( I so love MIUI and hope that it will work forever.

Read thread title and what cjward said...development on hold
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
yah, works fine for me.

i'm not sure what its supposed to do, it has the miui superuser icon, i bet that its useless, since there is other superuser app installed, witch seems to be giving the root accesses to other apps.

1st its the manual brightnes that disables HW buttons lighting, on autobrightnes works fine. This happens in all roms, quatro/andromadus

I was restoring apps whit the miui backup, from gingerbread, but it just froze when restoring some apps(worked for some), so i ended up restoring apps whit titanium backup

----------------------------------

Seems to lack some settings, like battery percentage on notification/MIUI battery bar. (available in Quatro) and bunch of other launcher/notification bar customizations.

Launcher force closes when i long hold a homescreen (to change homescreen order) on the homescreen select screen.

I have been waiting for MIUI v4 for a long time now, and its finally here. I'm probably going to keep this as DD from now on.

someone said smth about geolocation?.. gps works fine whit endomondo for me.

Did you check the MD5 sum, before you flashed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KnekKeR:
I did. The Andromadus ROM and Quattro Beta both work fine.

I think it's a boot.img problem, because when I replaced the boot.img from Quattro RC3 with the one from Quattro Beta9, it booted. It broke Wifi though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Strange, it seems like its only you though I'm afraid. 450 downloads :) and no one else has reported any thing. The only thing it could be is that you CPU doesn't like either the OC or UV
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
This package had very old radio bundled, I guess. Try updating.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ericino:
In the OP it says one needs to flash the kernel listed there before installing the ROM. What is it for?

I did not flash anything but the ROM itself, after a wipe and Superwipe. Not running into any problems so far, in fact I get 170MB+ free memory and for the first time ever, I can OC to 1920 using the Ondemand governor. Until now I could OC to 1920 with Performance, or to 1608 with Ondemand.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
It says you need to flash the kernel after the rom, and it fixes audio playback through headphones
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
@knekker

Maybe a combination of hboot, radio and recovery is what's causing the problem?

I guess you could try logcat and see if there's any output of interest? That's usually what I do if I ever encounter a hang. You do have adb access when it tries to boot, no?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mr.boonet:
Hi,

I'm giving it a spin as we speak and so far evrything seems to be very verynice!.... I like the overall smoothness of the build+ idk why but it gives me a more solid feel then gb miui....

Only thing that I am really hating right now is the staggering lagg/stutter on the launcher.... it feels as if I'm working with my old hero on stock rom again :S.... Is evrybody having this issue or am I overlooking a setting that might speed things up...

Edit: themes not working either

cheers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jhawkins002:
So - Im getting a very strange issue with the Music app where it just spontaneously turns on and begins playing. I thought initially it may be my pocket hitting the trackpad, thereby turning on the screen and somehow enabling the music player via the lockscreen widget - but it began doing it just sitting on the table a few moments ago. The screen never turns on, btw. It just starts singing away. I must say, in all my time playing with android ROMS this is by far the most surprising and amusing bug I have encountered.

If it helps, after the issues occurred earlier today with the phone in my pocket - I reflashed the rom & provided kernel with superwipe (just did a normal nuke the first time) - apparently to no avail.

Hope this feedback helps, and thank you devs (dev?) for giving us a MUCH anticipated taste of MIUI 4!!!! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Athrun88:
I haven't flashed this ROM yet, but I did have this happen on QuattroRC1 before. Turns out that certain songs were set as my notification sounds by default and would just randomly play when I got an email, text or any other event happened. Might not be the case here but just thought that I would throw that out there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jhawkins002:
Great minds think alike! I had that thought too - but I double-checked and the default notifications are still enabled. I havent really taken time to start customizing things much.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
So here is an update for you, this weeks update was MIUI-Au due to it being Chinese new year.

Again I have ported from proxuser' DHD build. But I have for better or worse I been experimenting with adding a few tweaks. I'm curious to know your thoughts. I hope I haven't broken anything but you never know. For me this is the first ICS ROM I have used which seems as fast as GB.

For those who don't know me that well may be surprised to hear that this is the first time I have actually ported/built a ROM and released. Until 2 days ago I had never actually done any real Dev work. My role in the Virtuous Team is simply to offer support to users and maintain forums and the blog.

I'm using this ROM as learning experience, so there is a very good chance that I'm going to break stuff at some point.
