Hello everybody !

first, me wanna thank ya fi dis rom. It's really really great !

I really wanna try ya extended settings...

Question : could ya join many docks an' apps please (clocks, calendar, contact...) ? it would be totally amazing if it would possible to change da graphism... all roms fi da desire z look like sense or miui...

Sorry fi mi few words of english
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
@strawmetal: Can I please have the extended settings and volume rocker mod that you used in 1.3? Or possibly a link to where you got it? Of course posting 1.3 would also be welcome. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Had them working on miui 2.3.2 .... been trying to get it to work on miui 2.3.9 since yesterday...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Right on bro, thank you. I have gotten the 2.3.2 es and volume mod working now also. I was confused on which one to use because in "About Phone" it said the build was miui-2.2.24 and I didn't see that build listed in any of Andy's downloads but 2.3.2 mods seem to be working. Thanks again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
V1.4 uploaded. Left v1.3 as my own personal test build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
I flashed v1.4 last night, and so far so good! Thanks again for including extended settings and volume+ mod. I use both of those on a daily basis. Also, would you consider adding the other ad blocking app? Adaway or Adfree Android, whichever one is not already included
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Why would you need another adfree app??? already included Adfree... you could always uninstall and use your preferred choice...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Because Adfree doesn't always block all ads but when you combine Adaway on top of that, I haven't seen a single ad since

Edit: PS I wasn't criticizing your choice by any means, merely making a suggestion
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
its wasn't about criticizm but i see your point now...i.e, covering up all holes using multiple sources... +1 to you... will either include another app or the hosts file generated by using both the apps....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chrusb:
I'm trying this with bootmanager and the only thing I can say is: Daaaaaaayum! :eek:

I think I will try it a bit more and see how it goes, but this may be my DD from now on :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Asswipe44:
strawmetal, just wanted to say how great of a rom this is. I've been running MIUI/Sense since November and am now ready to stick to MIUI thanks to your ultrasmooth, battery efficient, slick-looking ROMulus.

Just one question, is it normal for the Backup app to be gone from this build?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
GUYS i want to give a heads up for all using v1. 4.. My decision to try out SuperSU has caused the rom to become unusable on restart until you fc the laucher. Also it has caused root apps to take forever to start. I'm sorry for the mistake( I'm still learning from my mistakes). I've retested the rom with ChainsDD's version of superuser and its now slippery smooth. Will upload the rom again soon when my connection allows me to...

I've removed the backup app deliberately as most if not all of us use third party apps to get along..

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Asswipe44:
that's all fine and dandy and I have used TitaniumBackup in the past, but the MIUI app backs up the home screen settings - pretty useful feature for someone with a lot of apps. Can you please add it back in your next release?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Oh.. i didn't give it a try before removing( paid for titanium ) so i didn't know about it saving homescreen settings... i'll see if i really need it , else you could just take the app from miui stock build and put it inside system folder of the rom and then flash it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
The fact that MIUI backup was missing was the only reason that I didn't keep the ROM as I use it between flashes as well. If that were to make it back in, or was provided as something we could add back in ourselves, I would give this ROM another go.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Realm11984:
So I decided to flash this rom after all the positive feedback it received.....so far I have pulled the battery 5 times! It seems like it is finally starting to run smoother. I know the OP said that it would run slow for 2-5min but running slow and a full crash are different to me. Anyone else have this problem? I did a full wipe and flashed v1.4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Realm11984:
So after using the rom more, I have found that it freezes 75% of the time after waking the phone on the lock screen. Any ideas? I'm on v1.4
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickeedoo:
Try using the OC daemon config tools (OC/UV beater, whatever) to set minimum sleep frequency to 368mhz. I had this a lot on 245mhz. Now that I turned it up, it doesn't happen anymore! Also try changing the sleep governor to "ondemand". It would go into the "sleep of death" all the time with the "interactive" governor.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Realm11984:
Fixed it! Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Well the OP did mention the issue... also i have fixed this speed issue(related to SuperSU not responding in time).... V1.4Y is uploading and i'll update the download links as soon as its done.. Full Wipe highly recommended before flashing V1.4Y(even if updating from V1.4)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
V1.4Y has been uploaded.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Realm11984:
The download link in broken
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Download link for Strawmetal.Mi.V1.4Y is working fine for me. A bit slow, but downloading...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Realm11984:
It goes to the download page but says that the files do not exist. I had this problem when downloading V1.4 yesterday. Weird.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coachmoore:
Same for me, tried it 4 times... Just gave up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Realm11984:
Tried again, no go, any chance of changing hosts?

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

So I tried downloading from laptop using Chromium and all went well, it seems Maxthon Mobile Browser doesn't like Minus that much.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Took me 4hrs to upload the file. A reupload would be appreciated.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Thanks a66fm and javaman83 for the uploads... OP updated..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CyPh:
If u go to the normal site instead of the mobile you can download the file though. For some reason the mobile version says there are no files available. Just go all the way to the bottom, click normal version and reclick the link in the xda app
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Realm11984:
I'm on V1.4Y and all is well, very snappy compared to V1.4. Thanks for your hard work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Fixed it! I was trying to set the ringtone by going Settings > Personal > Sound Settings > Ringtone settings ...... Instead I went Themes > Edit Theme > Ringtone ...and all is now well!

And thanks again for the awesome rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dweller88:
Thanks for the update to 1.4Y

I was a getting disappointed by the performance of 1.4

This is lots better so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
I'm loving this rom as my DD! Only issue I'm having it a force close error when I attempt to change the default mechanical sounding voice, to an installed IVONA Text-to-Speech HQ voice by going Settings > System > Language & Input Settings > Voice Input & Output > Text-to-Speech Settings. Is anyone else getting this error?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
I think this could be happening because I removed Picotts. apk from system/app you could try including it in the rom using 7zip and then flashing.. fullwipe wouldnt be necessary.... try and see if this works(I might be entirely wrong)

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Do you want me to continue the rom??? (because it has reached a saturation and the only updates it can have is miui weekly base)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] javaman83:
If you're up for doing, I'd certainly like it.

1.4Y is all kinds of awesome, though, so if that's the last release, at least it's a good one.

Best MIUI ROM I ever used

hell yeah, this rom is badass!!! so much free memory, everything running smoothly. you just can't beat that.

this being said, please continue with your amazing work strawmetal :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Agreed, this Miui rom is now my DD. Other than a couple of very minor hiccups, this is arguably the best Miui rom in development for the HTC Vision.

is redy v1.5??

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

heheeh first!!!!!! i.m downloading from minus v1.5 now

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

my speed sucks 20 kb :((
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
lol yeah minus links are not very decieving....:D

And here it is guys your V1.5 has been uploaded... as usual reuploads are welcome. We are a community after all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
I'm happy that you've enjoyed your experience with my personal rom. Will definitely make weekly builds no matter what.( Only hiccup is my college shuts down internet access from 9AM-1PM, and the only time when i can upload within an hour and a half is around 4AM:mad:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Glad to see you kept building! :D DLing now, I'll mirror as soon as I bring my wifi back online.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
I've noticed that the phone is rebooting sometimes when i open messages directly from lockscreen... also the screen keeps lighting up randomly on sleep.. can someone confirm this?? hopefully its an issue with miui

This issue is on V1. 5

Edit: Looks like this is a one off issue with the MIUI V4 lockscreen i included in the default theme... Change your lockscreen to avoid this...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coachmoore:
I have never used miui, but I tried this one because of the reviews.. It looks great and seems really fast! Bring a noob to miui, is there anyway to change the apps etc on your home screen? I tried but they won't go away. Thanks in advance, fellas!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
could you elaborate... you want to edit which apps are placed on homescreen on flashing or are you asking about how to move icons???

if it is to move icons then press and hold the icon, once the phone vibrates you can you another finger to navigate through screens while still holding the other icon ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coachmoore:
Yeah... I've always been a sense guy do I was used to just long pressing and the garbage can came up. I'll give what you said a shot though. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
lookout if you move them to the trash icon, then it is direct uninstall... there is no app drawer in miui ... everything shows up on the homescreens itself
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] javaman83:
I uploaded a copy.

Hopefully that works. It works right for me.

Thankyou.... OP updated
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] knightslay2:
I have flashed this rom and experience ocassional issues where the time settings don't keep their settings. Also I have noticed they some of the included apps are dissappearing. Should I download the latest and reflash it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
I have yet to experience either of those issues. I would try to redownload and reflash. The only "issue" that I have with the time is that it isn't correctly set to my timezone. You can change that by pressing menu - settings from the homescreen and changing the timezone there. I would like to add though that no miui I have ever flashed was set to eastern time (us), so it isn't rom related.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theone10:
For miui time zone set I recomend you use clocksync app. It is good :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] knightslay2:
That is what I was trying to say. It is the time zone settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
latest radio

I just realised that i've been running on the radio that came with froyo..(went to froyo when i rooted my phone the second time after making a silly jump to htc dev bootloader unlock)....

So just flashed the latest radio and will post the results soon ..

Also i'll include the latest radio lib files in the next release so make sure you update to the latest radio(supposed battery improvements)...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kyleds:
Any way to get it to not say 3G T-Mobile in the top left of notification bar?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
I think you can change that display name using the MIUI Control app ... don't remember where i saw that...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kyleds:
Cool, found it. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
latest miui 2.3.23 build is available for download ... will build and upload V1.6 soon

Changelog:

Whatever miui changed

updated apps

anything else??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a66fm:
an update on the radio lid's maybe ?? :-)

i love your rom...it's the first rom i've used (and believe me i've tested almost every rom out there) that makes it for 2 full days of normal use
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
will include radio libs of radio .19
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
V1.6 Uploaded

Here's your weekly dosage of peace of mind

V1.6 has been uploaded...

Please report if DSPManager works(haven't tested it)

NOTE: The ril lib files for latest radio 04.19 have been included in this build so please update to the latest radio for optimal performance....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djaymel:
Thank ya one more time !

First, DSPManager seems working... I'll test it again and I'll tell ya !

Secondly, I prefer the lockscreen from da v1.5 (the best for me is dreamslide... with cam, sms, calls, music and meteo).

Last, I told ya by mp, it miss (much more) "personnalization" and an Internet Acces icon... (opera firefox or IE)

Thank ya fi dis great rom who's really fast and stable I like it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
updated to v1.6 and all is running well. I only wiped dalvik and cache before updating from 1.5 which seemed to do the trick. Thank you again Strawmetal, it's nice to have a MIUI dev that does weekly updates again. :D

With your permission I have mirrored the ROM at rapidshare.

Link: https://rapidshare.com/files/4186578559/Strawmetal.Mi.V1.6.zip

Edit: I noticed that the file on rapidshare is 3 megs bigger than the one I downloaded from minus. I'm at work and can't really dig into the why, but you might want to check the md5 on the one I mirrored before flashing

Moved from tun4f1sh to 1.6 directly

Hi,

I moved from the latest bulletproofed tun4f1sh release (Somewhen in Oct 2011) to the stawmetal V 1.6. I moved without a full wipe. EVERYTHING is running smoothly. THANKS!

have fun

tomtom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Looks like both are of the same size 162MB. Only rapidshare reports it as 170MB... Anyways thanks for the mirror OP updated
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Ah, I didn't think about them rounding the number, lol. Thanks for clearing that up, and I'm always happy to help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
I would definitely recommend a full wipe because i've changed a few internals..

Guys is there anything you would like on v1.7?? i.e., apps added/removed , mods
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sippyboi:
Trackpad wake??:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Trackpad wake is always included in miui... Navigate to this Settings>System>Button Settings

Should get the job done
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sippyboi:
thank you sir!! great rom btw, very quick. thanks again!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aresmar:
So can we say this Rom continues the legacy of Bulletproof MIUI of tunafish? Cause I have moved to a sense rom if I go back to MIUI I may consider this rom as I can see it is as good as Bulletproof back months ago.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
CM 7.2 RC1

Well as inquisitive as I've been; I've made a similar rom using CyanogenMOD 7.2-RC1. Would you guys be interested in it.

PS: Don't expect it to be as good as ILWT or other legends..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickeedoo:
Absolutely! I've been using this on and off with wez's miui v4 roms. You're doing great work and I'd love to see a CM7 version!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
This rom is great, but MIUI just isnt my cup of tea so yes if you release a CM7.2 rom I will use it! Also be sure to consider EliteMOD's kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
IMHO MIUI has gotten a lot better on the g2/dz so this is an excellent bulletproof flavored rom, one of the best. I highly recommend it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
CM7.2-RC1 might end up like this. Only issue is that I hate the notification icons and colour in this LunarUI theme...Any better looking colourful theme that you guys can suggest??? (not the same old boring cyanogen in different shades)

Putting CyanogenMOD aside I've V1.7 ready and its uploading now(better look for it tomorrow).

As you must've noticed in the changelog there's nothing exciting, just wipe cache and dalvik.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] javaman83:
I'll mirror 1.7 as soon as I can after it gets posted. I very much like the look of the new theme.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slufoot69:
How long does it take usually to upload your 1.7? Sorry this is my first install of this rom. I went thru and read every post and it sounds very very promising :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
V1.7 has been uploaded with additional mirror on mediafire

Thank you all for the tremendous support...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] miksa666:
I have one strange issue with all miui roms. Adobe reader and opera mobile force close as soon as I start them. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
They shouldn't if you installed them from the play store or used the apk after the rom installation is done.. if you had tried to include these in the rom zip for preinstalling then you'll face the issue that you mentioned.... If i'm wrong then the issue that you are facing is a completely one off (havent seen anyone else posting about it)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slufoot69:
DSP Manager just keeps FC ing on reboot. It does this 3 or 4 times before its stops FC ing. Hope you can get this fixed as DSP Manager is a good addition to the rom. Thanks for your hard work....

---------- Post added at 06:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 AM ----------

Ohhh yea and those FC ings from DSP Manager are happening even after a full wipe and clean install.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
The only reason i can't use miui is because is too iphone similar.. if u can make it much more similar to android :)...

inviato dal mio desire z. by zofox/zabak
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Then it wouldn't be miui would it??? i'm no ios fanboy. I like the ease of use on miui and that's that.

Just found out that the dsp manager is of no use on custom kernels (useful on stock european kernels).. will remove it from next release
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SoundTone:
looks great, let's check it out :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] miksa666:
Ah, didn't think of that. I used to restore my apps by copying the apks from sdcard to /data/app, and it seems to work for most of them. Apparently some of them don't like that. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SoundTone:
btw I had an issue with 3 custom MIUI roms - mobile network type selection force closes. So, only 3G works, I couldn't switch to EDGE. With MIUI roms from miui.us or miuiandroid.com this issue is gone, I really hope it will be gone with this version.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

Neah same issue. Any advice guys? I have tried custom kernels, different radios, no luck. The only solution to this is to install MIUI from miui.us or miuiandroid.com
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mindstormmaster1:
I applied this over 1.6 with only wiping cache and dalvik and it says it is updated to 03.30.12 but the theme is the same and nothing changed. Kinda sad as I like the new theme, but oh well it still runs like a champ so cant complain, but figured I would let you know.

Thanks!

PS really looking forward to your CM7 rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
You would see the new theme only when you wipe system else all your previous settings and apps remain as it is ... flash after full wipe and you'll see the new theme...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
sorry switching network type doesn't give me any FC...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SoundTone:
Then this is individual, maybe some permissions error, dunno. If anyone have the same problem, please report. I'll try to do some tweaks & tell if the problem is solved.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slufoot69:
I keep getting random reboots. Is anybody having this prob? I done full wipe and clean install. Wonder if a app is causing this? Ive noticed most reboots come when Im messaging, reading or writing. I have had probably 3-5 reboots in last 24 hours.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kusiman77:
i also have this problem. i super wiped b4 flashing this
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Not a single reboot here... Been 2 days since i flashed V1.7 After clean/super wipe...

PS: I noticed random reboot if i used MIUI V4 lockscreen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slufoot69:
Thats what it is then, I think I have that lockscreen. MIUI V4 lockscreen. Can you recommend a good lockscreen?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SoundTone:
I use super wipe script, but that does not change a thing. Before that I tried regular recovery wiping - factory/data, cache, dalvik cache, .. same problem. I tried permissions fix yesterday & that didn't solve it. Eh back to miui.us now. If this problem is solved, be sure to quote, I really like this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sisterchick:
+1 for a CM 7.2 RC1 version!
