use the nova launcer
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OFinch:
Thanks, going to give that a go.. another question I had was. I have the g2, was wondering how I got the backlight to turn on on the keypad.. can't see which charactors I am texting in the dark and also the light up buttons on the g2 also don't light.. I'd like to know where to find the settings to switch that at. Thanks again for the great work guys

wifi issues

I am having issues with turning on my wifi. I turn it on and it turns itself off right away. anyone else having these issues?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
You need to turn on Autobrightness for keyboard backlights to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
If you are not coming from a fresh install that may be causing the issue, else I've tested it thoroughly and never had the wifi issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Sorry i know this is irrelevant, but what is that widget that you're using? It looks gorgeous.

Also on a more relevant note, how does this compare to CJ's MIUI ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TobiS87:
Had to switch back to MIUI 2.3 because of massive RAM consumption...! Just had like 60 MB free after reboot. At 2.3 I've like 130 MB free. Haven't installed any other apps at 4.0! Is the system eating up that much memory? At Andromadus I had always like 150 MB free so it cant be ICS exclusively...! Anybody else expiriencing this or is it just me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
Hes using simi clock from the market (:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shure2:
My download crapped out and now it says the file isn't available
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OFinch:
I was having issues with the wifi calling not sending messages or able to take or receive phone calls most of the time. This is from a fresh wipe also. Its weird because the wifi calling would show as if it was working until I found out my messages weren't being shipped to the person right next to me during a test text / call. Otherwise great rom any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
This ROM wouldn't install at all with 4ext. Do i need to use CWM or is it an hboot version issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
You need to use a recovery with touch functionality enabled. Use either 4EXT touch or CWM touch, I haven't tested it with 4EXT classic in case you are using it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phpchris:
The widget is SiMi Clock - http://https://market.android.com/details?id=com.th.android.widget.gTabsimiClock&feature=search_result

Both CJs and this ROM are equally as good in my opinion, I don't notice much difference between. Performance wise and stability wise they are both solid.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
Use minus app, it allows you faster and complete download.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
actually i'm using 4ext touch. :-/

no clue why it won't install. Looks like the nicest of the ICS versions out there too. Does voicesearch work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theone10:
I am using 4ext too, and have no problem so far. But the clicking didn't work. I had to click using the touchpad.

I am using the latest one 1.0.0.4 rc1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
4EXT classic with recovery app has a superwipe option ext4 option which always works for me when installing roms that have that capability of running on ext4.

i use the 4EXT control app and select the zip, and theres no reason to do anything relating to the recovery console. it will reboot and install for you, and reboot once again after completion of the AromaUI.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I'm wondering if this occurs only on my device; the screen transition from portrait to landscape and vice versa is painfully slow (4-5s). I use the same cpu clock speeds (stock ~800Mhz) than on CJ's Rom where the transition worked fine. Everything else seems to work fine though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
Do voice search or video editor work on this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
Voice search does, havent tried video editin (:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 2stardiver:
have you guys installed ril automatcher for these ICS roms, and wipe efs data?

are those even neccessary anymore ?

Iam so bored for phone FCs so I might try without ril...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OFinch:
I want to come back to this rom but was having issues with wifi calling sending text and calls. Any suggestions to deal with this so I can come back? Does anyone else that uses wifi calling most of the day due to bad reception areas experience this? That was my only issue with the rom. If that can be figured out awesome.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
same. this is annoying as hell.

i tried texting someone at a concert the other day and my phone was just showing green grass or a black screen. lol i felt like an idiot.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

Sound from primary speaker wonky?

anyone have this issue? I'm not sure if it's because I dropped my phone twice recently after it slipped out of my new jacket's pocket because i'm not used to it yet :-(

Now i have to tell people that I'll call them back because the phone is terrible. I'm wondering if it's RIL.

Thing is, between dropping the phone and switching to ICS from GB MIUI, I never made a call, so I'm unsure if it's the ICS rom...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Explosive:
This too is happening to me. The transitions from any screen to the homescreen is PAINFULLY slow. The last build wasn't like this at all. I also have WAY less memory, almost 30-50mb lower. I went from having 160-170M to only having 120-130M at any given time, that's with everything closed...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
This will be fixed in next build, once my exams gets over....:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Explosive:
Thank you for the quick response and I love the rom, was just disappointed with the speed of the Last Build. Excellent Port and Mod. =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
Continue to work on this ROM. It's very good, just jumped from ICS JIBWich and using as DD for over a week. Though same base of MIUI US FCs at first boot up (first set up).

True, this needed more RAM optimization (sometimes too low free RAM), so it's laggy sometimes. Also, some bugs are still persist - camera, adding gallery widget (choosing which gallery pictures kinda broken), but no complains since they are mostly came from ROM-base.

So, thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Explosive:
Good post, Thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
Patiently waiting (:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
OP Updated with new build.

All apks have been zipaligned with latest android sdk for ram optimization, around 100mb is free now.

Installing supercharger may yield more free ram.

Updated to new base and scrolling tweaks have been applied.

Scrolling will be smoother now.

Terminal emulator still not working, also don't update ES File Explorer, it may lead to force close.

Targets for build 3.0:

Working Terminal Emulator

ES File explorer working with all updates

RAM Optimization

Update Aroma Installer to latest build

Happy Flashing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nicko4ever:
Hy everyone!

i have a question!

What can i do?

when i install this version my phone starts in a boot loop!

thx for answers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
If you came from GB you might wanna do a SuperWipe. That should be done always when switching from GB to ICS and so.

As for the update; It's a bit smoother but I believe there is still something a bit wrong with the RAM usage. V6Supercharger helps a bit but just a bit. The switch from portrait to landscape is still slow.

That's all this far. When my phone is charged I'll check how's the battery life and report back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
Added support for FM radio app.

can someone confirm this? im not home.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shure2:
first of all I did a full wipe before installing build 2.1.

It is no smoother than the last version and even when the word 'Smooth' was added to the title thread on the version before that it wasn't any smoother than the version before that!

Appreciate the developers efforts, but the word 'smooth' should be dropped; otherwise a perfectly good beta version of ICS, just no way near gingerbread performance yet.

if you want smooth then go for the latest miui.us or miui android rom's.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xi.lin:
I had tried to use fm app from original miui, but it just didn't work.

What's more, the mms is still stuck...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] salimbaba:
is it just me, or is this not as snappy as CM7 ? even after so much effort at optimization
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
Seems it's just you. :D

You gotta keep in mind that all this work on ICS is very challenging staff since no official release of kernel source and drivers for this device though we have working ROM, just camera (photo and camcorder) and fm radio issues. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Explosive:
Every user is different. Don't discredit the claims of a rom for every user. I personally found the rom much smoother and kept the homescreen in memory a lot better than the last build. You are not the speaker for the masses. No one claimed the speed of gingerbread so I don't know why u would want to detour someone away from a really good rom that has a developer actually UPDATING his work. Gingerbread is of course gonna be faster right now, just like eclair would be faster than gingerbread and hero would be faster than that. Thought that would be common sense by now...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Hmmm... either my last post was deleted or then I forgot to press the submit reply button.

Anyways; this ROM is better than the last update but I don't think I would call it smooth. Not until the screen rotation gets quicker. As for all MIUIv4 roms on Vision, on my device by far the smoothest has been cjwards 2.5 build.

As for MIUI upstream things, why the bleep haven't they added merge contacts to the contacts app? It's in the GB contacts app but not in the new one. Well, beats me.

Also it seems this rom's default music app is the CM one. Why not use the MIUI music app as the default when the rom installer has the option to install the CM music?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
Thanks for the update

A few things i noticed

- CM music player is stock

- Status bar layout doesnt change (regardless of rebooting etc)

these are just as far as i know will post more as and if i find any

A big positive

- Alarm app now doesnt FC on setting an alarm
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shure2:
Forums are mainly based on opinions, it's the cumulative options that people use to make judgements. I am just stating my opinion and considering I have tried nearly all the ROMs on the front page I can be quite objective.

I wholeheartedly appreciate the work done by ajharvery and lenny_kano in porting this, the issues the ROM has aren't necessarily to do with their effort, but the status of the released code.

I'm not going to kiss all the dev's ***** like lots here, I offer my honest opinion and hope that contributes well towards others being able to make their own accurate judgements.

Troll out!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
Yeah, that is true, seems CM Music apk was put mistakenly in both /system/app and /data/app.

Apparently, miui music apk can't be installed - since it's a system application, Android security does not allow it to be simply installed.

What I've done is copied miui music apk (took from previous version) and pasted into /system/app (used root explorer), then cleared music apk's data, then fixed permissions, cleared dalvik-cache and rebooted. Now it's working just fine.

Dude, don't just be an angry freak. Don't blame other people if something wrong with your device or just with your mind.

Don't like this ROM, don't like the word "smooth" or "smoother", get off this thread and put your energy towards other ROMs that you like or would like. ;)

Wifi

Hi guys,

I'm a little new with custom roms and do not have a lot of knowledge about things. Ik have flashed my Desire Z to this rom and must say that this rom is very nice. Everything is working except my wifi. I did a full wipe and deleted everything I could. Can you give me any help with this? When I scan for wireless networks, my phone sees various networks from the neighborhood except my own... Thanks in regards. CW
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
There are a whole lot of changes included in the MIUI framework after v2.2.17 including new call screen, etc. , so things are getting a little laggy after that. This is a framework problem and will go when is solved in source. There is a reason why they haven't officially released anything and you should also remember that ICS is a "WORK IN PROGRESS".

Sorry, forgot to check that, it was there in lenny_kano build, will post an update.zip soon to include the MIUI music app.

Status bar change takes some time to implement, just check the desired change and wait, it'll get implemented after some time. I've posted it earlier too so please read.

Never had the problem with wifi, I've tested it thoroughly, it may be a problem with your wifi router. What is the encryption it is using?? Either WEP, WPA or something else??

Rom is made a little smoother as compared to the previous build, so If you are getting same performance, it may be specific to your device. Though it is not as smooth as it should be, but it is a framework problem as I've stated earlier. Trying some hack and will post an update.zip once I find some solution.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
@all:

This ROM is a WIP so please expect some errors, we are working on it but you have to wait patiently.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
Restart your wi-fi router and internet modem, then turn phone's wi-fi ON. 99.9 % will be solved after that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kingkonejito:
Love this Rom but when I am using wifi calling to make a call, I cannot hear the person on the other end once the screen goes black. Anyone else having this problem or no how to fix it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kingkonejito:
Its almost like it is lagging really bad when the screen goes black, this happened to me before on a miui rom but eventually it got fixed on another version so Idk if there is something I can do to solve it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KyraOfFire:
Thanks for the tip about the camera. I will probably be too lazy to try a new room, but having a working camera is just more than awesome :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shure2:
You have misunderstood my post, but ajhavery has clarified the situation on the ROM not being as smooth as it should be. It's a WIP.

P.S. Don't freak out at him because he said its not as smooth as it should be..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaydog69:
I haven't seen this bug yet but once in a while my screen will freeze either with screen off or screen on and I have to do a battery pull to fix this may be due to my oc settings but I'm not 100%
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BoscoTM:
Hey guys, any one else lose the centered clock with the latest 2.3.2 rom? It was actually starting to grow on me in the previous version. Is that the miui team's oversight or was it manually added? Because I'd love to get it back. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaydog69:
The centered clock option is under the control panel app
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BoscoTM:
Hmm. I tried to change it from the control app, but nothing happens when I select either centered, normal, or reversed. I restarted my phone, nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
This is strange, apply the setting and leave it for say an hour without rebooting. Then reboot your phone and reply if it worked for you??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I can also confirm that it doesn't work on my device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
Hoping theres an update some time with the latest build, if i could do this work myself i honestly would, i appreciate all the work you devs do, thank you (:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
lenny_kano hasn't released his this weeks build for HTC desire, waiting for him to post his build.

Also I am out for some work so may not upload the update till monday. You guys have to wait till monday.

btw, in your signature it says that 4ext partition with 256 mb swap, how did you managed to enable swap with 4ext recovery. I've always failed to enable swap with 4ext recovery. I've to revert back to CWM to enable swap.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
im assuming you flashed the sparksco patch2? i need to amend that as i only ever tried to get it working once and that was under CMW, never tried 4ext recovery..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] uvt_novice:
Camera glitches

Just realized that if camera flash turned off (flash not auto, - completely switched off), then pictures do not have any artifacts. Tried this here, on Andromadus, and ICS JBWICH ROMs.

So, think somehow camera glitches relate to flash light management...

P.S. same posted on Andromadus thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
The glitches are more if the picture to be taken is more colorful, I guess flash adds a new light to be interpreted by the camera thus producing more glitches.

Simple plane pictures produce minimum glitches, btw I'm experimenting with twisted umbrella camera patches and hopefully u'll get a better camera experience in next update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WhiteSnake93:
I got a problem with that rom. I cannot set superuser rights. It tells me to activate it in the settings and when I do, it sets automatically to off, after about 4 seconds...

Not usable for me by now.

Device:HTC Desire Z

Rom: Virtuous Quattro Rc 4 pre

Clockspeed: 1.2 gHz

Great ROM!

Great ROM, really appreciate the efforts that have gone into this build.

For reference, I had posted a few issues I ran into on the MIUI v4 (beta2) build here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23344094&postcount=510 and can confirm I am seeing the same issues with this ROM (as of build 2.1).

One additional thing I forgot to mention is that MUTE doesn't work. The button gets activated as if it's enabled, even though it's not. Not sure if this is related to not being able to speak using wired headset or not? I'm not sure if this is a symptom of MIUI v4 or ICS 4.0.3, etc... I wish I knew a little more about how to troubleshoot these kinds of issues so I could assist building/patching as things like this come up :(

Nevertheless, keep up the great work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wez89:
some of the issues mentioned in your other post for example camera and camcorder are down to drivers issues with ICS as our device isnt supported.. google talk i think is an option in auroma if not it can be pushed to your phone.. facebook book if i remember rightly is no longer associated with contacts in ICS.. the wired headset issue, must be an actual issue as im experiencing the same thing, as for the mute button i have no issues with that.. hope this post helps (:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Imo everything in this rom would be pretty bearable if the screen would turn quicker.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] earni:
Wifi tethering doesn't work for me, I've never really needed it before but due to some changed circumstances I really do need it now. Gonna have to go back to gingerbread MIUI unfortunately.

boot loop

Hi,

I did everything what I can do from 4EXT menu, wipe cache/data/android security/ext, format all of them, twice

STILL BOOTLOOP

no way to get superwipe from ADB from linux machine, but I don't get what else it can do if it does also 4EXT..

giving up..

PS: clear not on HD2 :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
Go to core droid rom search in first post of the dev at the end you will find my name click 1 of 2 tips 1 o them is the superwipe zip and flash it. Im from my phone cant post the link. Or search for the superwipeg2+

send from other space
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kyleds:
crazy thing happened today on this rom. some of the application names, the white letters under the app when you open the app drawer, disappeared leaving only some letters. it also happened to the beautiful weather widget as well. the white time letters and any other white letters for the day and temperature as well were missing. the shadow of the letters were still there though. :confused: a reset seemed to fix it for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterismos:
this is a known bug happens in ics roms. also a restart of the launcher fixes the problem.

Updates

As you may know guys that lenny_kano has stopped building his builds for a while due to his private life.

I've tried miuiandroid build but they aren't so smooth and has some chinese here and there. Also sometimes I lost root access.

Meanwhile I was working on Sense 4.0 for desire Z so I dropped the idea of an update to this rom until lenny_kano comes with his next build.

I'm trying to fix autorotation and all the known issues with desire z sense 4.0, but it seems very difficult to do so.

So, that's all for now.

Enjoy.... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
installed this rom again.

it runs super smooth and the only issue i have is coming out of unlock by sliding the keyboard open- the OS hangs and I usually close the keyboard and press back a bunch'o times and it goes back to homescreen in normal state.

also, this thing eats ram like a mother f'er.

even when clearing background processes and un-used apps... still about 105mb ram, whereas the last ICS rom I tried I had 120-160. And I just installed the OS pretty bare, so there aren't maybe background processes running from boot up anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] subedaman:
I think he just came out with his new build 2 days ago
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
Last week I've communicated with him and he told me so, Porting his latest build now.

Will update it soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] subedaman:
Very excited (:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajhavery:
MIUI Weekly update

Guys, the new build doesn't seems nice to me.

Its security app doesn't let apps ask for superuser permissions on its own. It doesn't turns on on its own and its faulty.

Also 4 pay power reboot is removed and the build doesn't seems much smooth to me, so in my opinion, lets wait for next weeks build and let me concentrate my efforts on getting you guys a working Sense 4.0 build in the mean time.

I've solved almost all the issues except the known one on other roms like camera, usb tethering, etc.

I just need to deodex four apps:

7digital3.0.apk, camera.apk, phone.apk and htccontacts.apk.

We can ignore camera.apk for the time being since its not working but we need to work on phone.apk and htccontacts.apk.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SeRPRo:
I like this ROM but I have a couple of issues (Apart from the previous mentioned).

- Can't sync Facebook contacts with my contacts.. it looks like it did.. but id didn't.

- Can find some UK based applications like Natwest

Anyone else experience this like this?

P.S. Thanks for all the work so far
