I have been testing this a little now, flashed over alpha 1. I like the virtuos oc, gj. But calendar app seems to be missing, simple calendar widget can't launch anything, and. There is no calendar icon. Widget shows the events just fine tough.

I have ~300-1000MHz ondemand wake, seems to work just fine, I have 3 homescreens. Default for clock, and callendar widgets, 2nd has all apps, and games folder. 3rd screen has root/tool/theme/customization apps

And since this is ics, folders are created automatically when you pull one app over an other.

This rom doesn't feel like MIUI, ofcource it has the launcher, but most of the miui features seems to be still missing, like miui battery bar, and long hold back to kill. Virtuos quatro has all these in it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Can't find calendar? That's odd...I have it, and it works perfectly. Might be because you flashed over alpha 1.

Regardless, you can try taking the calendar apk from the zip you downloaded and pushing it into /system/app
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ablivian:
Will the launcher support Scrollable widgets?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RubberBigPepper:
I hope lgCamera included is a free version (with red FREE labels)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
I think so, @least on simple calendar the events are scrollable when there's more than the widget can fit.

Used root explorer, found calendargoogle.apk in place, but calendarProvider.apk was missing took em from the alpha2 zip. No luck getting calendar, yes I did reboot after. Also miui mey show 2 icons in one spot hiding it, checked altdrawer too.

Okey, took calendar.apk from alpha1 and isntalled traditional way, works, just need to convert to system app whit titanium.

Can't manage to get a logcat log. My phone freezes at the white HTC screen. It doesn't react to anything. Power button, adb reboot doesn't do anything. The only way to restart it, is to do a battery pull.

chyea! thanks for the props! i looked over what u did homie. u left out a ril. i found that there are 5 libs and an app to make wifi calling work. oh and the ril switcher in the build prop.

and look u never asked permission from me, and i dont give a flying ****, u gave me props. guess im still a lil bitter off all the haters in my ICS slim thread. this is all open source and all the devs need to work together!

---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

oh ****, these are the 5 libs that are needed, the one in bold u left out. i took all the files from my g2 slim 1.6. since its based on the newest OTA, it has the newest version of the wifi calling app and all the latest libs.

libganril.so

libkineto.so

librilswitch.so

libhtc_ril.so

libreference-ril.so

very nice, thankyou for putting this together (:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] salimbaba:
somehow the contacts app does not consider (+92xxx-xxxxxxx) and (0xxx-xxxxxxx) as the same number =\ which is kinda annoying since my contacts arent getting resolved into names when i get a call or an sms
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
Time for me to try again with wifi calling in vq rc 3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Hmmm....That leaves us with little options....

Obviously something changed in the VQ RC Kernel that your phone apparently doesn't like. Does andromadus v10 work for you? - It could be something camera relevant in case it doesn't. If not what could be the issue would be along the lines of the VQ changelog. Namely in RC1: "Other fixes and tweaks"

I guess you could ask the VQ devteam about this. If more people get this issue it might attract their attention.

This is as far as I can be of help seeing as I myself am a noob with android and can't find any other advice. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Cheers, very much appreciated. Sorry for not asking.

You are welcome:)

In the control app there is an option to repair contact numbers. See if this helps

I will make a couple of zips, one to fix wifi calling on this ROM and another to get it working on Quattro

I have noticed a few people comment on missing MIUI features. Pull the notification bar down and go to the toggles page. The top left has 3 dots, press these to bring up a settings menu. It does not have all the options that GB MIUI has but its a start.

Also how are people finding battery life? I don't use my DZ very much anymore but I just noticed that that I'm still at 100% after 7 hours :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Download this flashable.zip, it contains the missing ril to get Wi-Fi calling fully functional.

And has anyone found any decent themes for MIUI v4 yet, I really dislike the orange.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kekkojoker90:
and you have orange for carrier? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
I just ran Antutu Bench after getting rid of the stock launcher. You know what's funny? It scored a whooping 3,7K. That's pretty fast for a MIUI rom.

As for themes, I tried applying some but they seem to be corrupted and every second time I try to open the Theme app it FC's.

Edit: I just realized that I get zero graphic glitches, be it launcher or or other system apps. Maybe the MIUI folks know something we don't?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
Cool, so it's hidden in there, you can also edit the toggles in page mode /../ Great rom!

Not sure about the battery life yet.

default theme is quite nice, but i would like to change icons and font @least.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
Hope this can be updated with the latest build of miui every week (: the work all devs put into this stuff is amazing, my hats off to you all (:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] salimbaba:
Fix contacts option only removes "-" dashes from the contact numbers...

it still doesnt recognise the numbers with country code e-g +923334567443 and 03334567443 as same.

due to this, many of my contacts are not resolved to names. :( how to fix ?

EDIT:

Fix contacts option fixed it. it took some time after the contacts fix to recognise numbers.

Are you using a third party sms app? I don't really understand why are you getting this.

Edit: Would be nice if a mod could delete this convo to keep the thread clean.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] salimbaba:
I don't know why this was happening.

I turned off vibrate n ring and rebooted just to make sure things get applied. After reboot, the setting was turned on by itself. This time I turned it off and it vibrates no more.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Did you reboot right after booting the ROM for the first time? It's always recommended to do.

Edit: That's quite likely why you got such behaviour.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] salimbaba:
Nope.. this was my first reboot after flash

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wrapper:
This looks fantastic, going to flash tonight and feedback :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Well..considering MIUI IS about cosmetics....

Swype is the only free solution I can get on top of my head. It is orange as far as I recall. Oh and swype'ing is fun ;D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shure2:
Fantastic, used for nearly an hour now and no immediate problems (excluding the camera). The main noticeable disadvantage to the GB MIUI is that the transitions aren't as smooth, but the improved with each iteration of the GB version so I guess it will with ICS.

done slight niggle is that the brightness toggle only turns auto brightness on or off, it doesn't toggle the brightness levels.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shure2:
The battery is draining a bit quicker too, but considering how the lack of bugs I must commend the developers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I could say this is pretty usable. I've always preferred MIUI to the others. Only thing that bothers me are the duplicates and such in the contacts, the GB conctacts had a merge option but I haven't found it on this version if it even exists.

Also; does anyone know how to get DSP-manager to work? The bass boost option in it is much more to my liking than google musics own try.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
You can't really evaluate battery life now. You have to let it settle in for a few days (going through 2-3 FULL charge-discharge cycles), so that the ROM "learns" your battery.

@Lemp You can try using the DSP Manager off Andromadus V10. I don't know if it works though. You have to install it in /system/app. If you don't have Andro V10, I have the DSPM apk from AndroV9. I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed but you're free to try the one from v10 if you so desire. Link to DSPM: http://www.mediafire.com/?rkvx5spqz13wp5v

Alternatively you can download Volume+. You can find it from http://androidaudiohacks.com/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
When wifi calling would connect to network it wouldn't actually make a call for me an it would not let me hang up the call. I had to reboot to try again. I rebooted 4 times and never could get it working.

I was able to get your patch on quattro 3 to work once so I know it isn't my phone.

Hope this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Grab DSP Manager from here

And DSP Manager and CM9 Music from here
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
OK looks like i missed something, will look at again tomorrow
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Thanks for the tip. I did some research due my boredom and found a flashable zip by using this thing called google search. It seems that in addition to the DSP-manager app itself you need to add a lib file somewhere. The script is supposed to do that.

I just realized that the music player in this rom is not the miui music one, is it? The gb one was awesome and the 'sketch' pics released some time ago of the v4 music player were awesome. I guess it's still in dev or something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
@cj I couldn't flash the CM9 Music App + DSP zip but the DSP standalone flashed fine. Anyway wasn't there some sort of bug with the CM9 music app where if I were to play a song that did not have artwork the Mediascanner (I think) would go nuts in a loop trying to find artwork that didn't exist? That's what happened when I tried to use it in VQ.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EndOfSource:
I'm currently testling your ROM...

[1] I really like the MIUI 4 look <3

[2] If i open market and try "search" a tooltip appears:

"A notification has appeard - drag down the Status Bar to view it" (in orange on the top)

If I open the notification bar there is nothing and the message pops up again and againt like forever.

[3] Hardwarekeyboard only works after klicking two or three times into the input-field.

[4] Hardwarekeyboard light not working

Edit:

After some user generated notifications (SMS, installed some apps)

[2] works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Yeah, future note to self "always test zips before posting".

Uploaded and tested like all is good now.

The music player is there as an option. I like it though,

Well...It seems that DSP Manager works with the Stock Music but not with PowerAMP (Direct Volume Control is disabled, so common sense is it goes through DSPM) which kinda sucks for me! D'oh! - Going to flash the zip with the CM9 Music app. Thanks a lot!

Edit: Yep, still there. Too bad, I really like the app too.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Suppose that is why the app is still in beta, what about if you have all the album art set though?

I use an app called "cover art grabber" to retrieve all missing album art.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
I've tried that. Definitely a no go. :P It seemed as if it needed albumart in all sizes. So when a song that DID have album art (for a certain size, ie 256x256), when I was in the menu below the same thing would happen because apparently it couldn't find artwork of appropriate size. But that's all theory.

Regardless, the app is in beta but I was kinda hoping that this was an updated version from what I had used earlier. Till it's fixed...back to PowerAMP.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wrapper:
Thanks for your fantastic work on this port.

My initial thoughts:

1. I'm not getting any hardware lights - Keyboard or Menu buttons.

2. "Long-press back to kill app" option is uber-sensitive and has no configuration, meaning that you can often kill apps by accident.

3. It does seem a little sluggish at times.

Also echo the comment about widgets not being customisable.

In response to some other posts:

- SwiftKey has a 'Pumpkin' theme which is quite MIUI-friendly

- Setting 'Window animation speed' and 'Transition animation speed' to fastest in Developer options makes the experience more 'fluid'.

1. Enable auto-brightness, also hapens on VQ. Haven't tested andromadus, but I bet it's ICS problem.

2. Works fine for me, it's long enough to be able to normally hit back. ques this is more or less personal preference.

Yeah, i had every contact 4 times, just download contact app from market, like go contacts and use that to merge your contacts. This is also a common ICS problem, also VQ doesn't have merge.

There is a smart keyboard related bug:

Smart keyboard supports multi-touch and I have been using it on other ROMS and it has never bothered me. But on this ROM if you just touch with two fingers on the smart keyboard, the keyboard will stop responding to further input and you have to press "back" and then click on the edit box again to make it re-appear. and use again only till the point when you again have touch at two points simultaneously.

The default ICS keyboard works fine though, but it has tiny keys ... anyhelp ?

Earlier I reported that "fix contacts "option resolved the issue of identifying a number saved without country code as an unknown contact when receiving a call or sms.

Well it appears that I was wrong.

Problem :

A number saved as 03331234567

I receive a call /sms from +923331234567

Technically both numbers are same but it is shown as unknown number because the saved number is saved without country code.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
if you had your MIUI (GB) Bulletprooffed, it has custom superuser app, and removes the miui superuser, so the backup fails backing up the miuisuperuser cause it's missing.

2nd, I did try to restore a backup made on GBmiui, on this(alpha1), it started up fine and recovered some apps, and then it just hang up on one, and fully froze the phone. after reboot, tried to recover from where i left, and againg froze on app suppose it was Facebook this time, if i remember right. So i recovered rest whit Titanium.

Works both ways for me, setting from settings->sound, and via themes app, customaze->ringtone. Thing is it has a bit of a delay before it actually starts ringing when a call comes in

Excellent ROM so far:

Couple bug issues

2. I notice that my music player would stop and I would have to hit play again to start it. The app doesn't close it just stops playing. I notice this when using the navigator app at the same time. I have the navigator app muted so I don't get the interruptions when music is playiing. Anyone else have the same issue?
