Use THEME MANAGER or MUSIC to select your ringtone, and it will work.

FAQs

​

[Q] Where can I learn and find out more about MIUI, and get tips?

Here.

[Q] What is the best Governer to use? What is the best I/O Scheduler to use?

See UC Kernel thread for a link to very useful information about these topics. Keep in mind that 1.3GHz or so makes the ROM unstable for some people, so don't overdo anything.

Newer version releases have kernel changes, experimentation for stability!

Market does not allow download? Market does not allow me to download apps with high size?

Check HERE.

[Q] What Kernel do I use? What's the procedure for flashing?

RECOMMENDED KERNEL FOR USE (for this build): 'vurrutKER_v3_cm_fixIO_initd' [will be overwritten anyway]

1.3GHz OC, or high overclocks, trigger problems for some users. Try not to go overboard with this ROM...

Your kernel WILL be overwritten. Use the flash procedure as directed in the OP.

Fresh KPE then KPU, or KPQ.. // Universal CF-Root // ANY KERNEL // Wipe dalvik // REBOOT // MIUI flash // Wipe dalvik, battery etc.

[Q] What are addons, where can I find them?

Addons are optional (usually!) things you would want to flash over to your current MIUI rom to customize it at your will. All the current available add-ons are CWM flashable, and you can find them in Frank's thread (see important links above).

[Q] How do I make Radio work?

MIGHT NOT WORK. PLEASE CHECK.

1- Download spirit fm free from the market

2- plug in the headphones

3- run spirit fm free and open settings

4- set regional regional Band to World

5- choose audio from the settings then methods

6- choose GalaxyS Danger

[Q] I'm having Battery Drain, why?

Use the Spare Parts app to see your usage stats!

This is a port and battery drain is common as it's not perfect yet. Please don't complain about battery drain. If you're facing very bad drain, try taking some common steps, like disabling WIFI when not in use, etc.

Apart from that, try these tips from gm007 (Dev):

-use another launcher.

-disable auto rotate.

-use 2g.

-In phone settings turn off enforce proximity sensor.

-turn off background data.

-manually kill the apps by the long pressing the home button.

Use a task killer. Experiment and research in dev and Q/A threads.

[Q] I get a Force Close in 'Sound Settings'.

This might be due to Themes sometimes not supporting! If your force close is "android.process.media" then see the specific question about that below.

My battery stats show 0% and 0s -- Battery Stats are not being recorded?

Turn on "Monitor Battery Usage" in Battery Settings!

[Q] Does Extended MIUI work?

Yes! Get it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22309487&postcount=1203

[Q] I have a Force Close in an app I'm trying to run!

Try reinstalling. Use Titanium Backup to save any data first, then restore it. This works for 95% of apps that started FCing for me.

[Q] I have a force close for android.process.acore after flashing! Help!

Navigate to Settings - Programs - Manage Applications - All.

CLEAR DATA for 'Contacts and Dialer' and 'Contacts Storage'.

Reboot phone. This should fix your problem.

[Q]I have to swap ext/int SD Cards. The Gingerbread Swap won't work, what is wrong?

There is a MIUI specific version for the swap! Get it from Important Links at the top of this post.

[Q] I have a force close for andriod.process.media on flashing, opening market or an app!

Navigate to Settings - Programs - Manage Applications - All.

Clear data for Download Manager and Media Storage.

Reboot phone. This should fix your problem.

[Q] I'm having a Bootloop!

You did something wrong, try starting fresh and reflash. See procedure as directed in the OP (dev thread).

[Q] How do I know if my device has the Backlight/Blacklight issue?

Here's a video showing the issue:

http://youtu.be/nr6B7r2mXmo

[Q] When will developer fix XYZ issue? When will XYZ be released?

You're getting this stuff for free, you should be grateful for his hard work and be patient for the next release. The Dev is working hard on making this ROM perfect.

[Q] I have AUDIO STUTTER problem!

Use the Sound Patch to reduce stutter or another player from the market, to possibly fix! Please note, newer releases have lesser stutter. Using another player usually fixes the problem.

[Q] What is the latest changelog?

From OP:

V10.4

-MIUI Update 2.4.6

-Bluetooth headphones work

-Small changes in tweaks
