Thanks for this ROM, but this is weird that we need to sign up to "4shared" to download the ROM. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] miksa666:
Has anyone else noticed long press home not working? It does vibrate normally but recent apps doesn't show up.

Also, I've been having a ringtone issue with all MIUI roms lately. If I set a custom ringtone from music app, it doesn't play when I receive a call. I've tried to copy the mp3 file to /system, and selecting it from the settings. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. However if I set a ringtone that comes with the rom, it works flawlessly. Does anybody else have this or some idea on how to fix it?

EDIT: other than that, great rom. I think I'll keep this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
you dont have to signup/login at 4shared to download the rom...

just noticed the long press home button issue ... dont really know why but ill try to fix it .... please help if anyone knows how to fix it...

had the same issue here but only since last 1.7 update!

TO overpass this and switch network dial *#*#4636#*#* it will start low level setting app where you can choose the network type.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killswitch11:
I'm liking this MIUI build... best one since the abandoned Bulletproof. One issue I'm having though is with the Wi-Fi calling addon from CM. Not sure why wi-fi calling is not baked into this ROM but I cannot get it to work for anything. It is completely unusable. This is a deal breaker since I live in a "black hole". Is this a common problem due to the addon being a fail or can I do something to fix it? (Already optimized my router and messed with APNs)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] javaman83:
It doesn't work for me either. I had better luck with the old osimood wifi calling addon.

I am not on TMobile.. so I cannot confirm whether the wifi calling addon link I posted works or not Please help me out on this one and give me a link to a working one.. Thankyou...

Network type change issue:

1. I haven't changed anything but the base from 1.6 to 1.7 (hopefully this is an miui issue) You can still run 1.6 as the miui changelog for the 2.3.30 rom was missing due to insignificant/no changes...

2. I will build it from scratch again tomorrow when the next release comes out and post my results....

PS: Hope you are enjoying this rom as much as i do in making it...Cheers...

Keep up the good work mate. I was always a fan of Bulletproof and now you are developing on the same road. I am happy to see this thread go. I will most probably switch to your rom soon. :D

V1.7Y

Fixed the network selection issue on V1.7.....

V1.7Y has been uploaded... You could wait till tomorrow for V1.8(based on miui 2.4.6) if you are not in dire need(can't guarantee that this network selection issue wont popup in V1.8).....

As always I'm happy to help sate your thirst for flashing....

What languages are included in this ROM? English only? The only thing that prevented me from using other MIUI ROMs is that they didn't include Spanish language. I fully understand English, but it's not the same.

V1.8 First run after Superwipe
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrfrenchfry:
Horrible lag?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but I am having horrible performance with this rom. I don't think it's my oc/uv settings. I've noticed that anytime I use the app killer (when you long hold the home screen), I free up around half of the memory I have free (I only have 80mb total and that value lowers itself randomly). Then it becomes lag free for maybe 20 seconds until I open up any app. The apps in the app killer list differs often too with maps and contacts making appearances often. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or is MIUI still buggy at 4.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tomtom72:
Hi,

Regarding hickup. Mrfrenchy,

Do you have spare sparts plus installed?

I do not have it at hand, but I remember that I had the same issue with spare parts plus installed, in spare parts plus I had turned on an aggressive option. I do not remember he exact name. Take a look and check it, if spare parts is installed.

Cheers

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
I finally got a chance at trying out v1.8 yesterday, and I think it's one of the best MIUI flavors I've tried yet. Unfortunately I never keep MIUI on my phone for long, because I'm not an Apple fanboy but the aesthetics is so damn good-looking on our G2s. It seemed that almost everything I wanted the phone to do worked, except for the built-in screenshot utility. Yes, I knew that wasn't going to work which is why ShootMe was included, but that's a big selling feature of MIUI is how easy it is to screencap your phone. I use that all the time, and having to rely on a slower & more time-consuming ShootMe makes me hesitate in using this ROM as my DD. It's not the dev's fault, but damn I sure hope it gets fixed soon.

Any fix/changes worth mentioning for the next v1.9 release?

Thanks for providing another MIUI flavor to the community here.

About the white notification background(use the themes app to download themes to your taste)

Random reboots(faced these when using certain lockscreen themes. just try different lockscreens and see which one is stable)

Overall though, pretty cool I guess.. my first miui rom. Are all the apps always on the home screens? I accidently trashed a few and it uninstalls them lol.

yeah all apps are on home screens, there is no app drawer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
Thanks. I do notice a slight delay when opening different apps it seems. This could be a launcher issue though. Slowly but surely I'm getting it set up to my liking. One thing that is driving me crazy and I'm sure I'm missing it, is there trackpad unlock? I found the wake but not the unlock.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] A_Elizondo:
I always hated MIUI but tried this for the last couple of days and to be quite honest its growing on me quickly. I am honestly more of a sense guy if it had the speed of cm7. This is sort of a hybrid of both. Here are my findings perhaps someone could help me with what is marked as RED as I have searched around but would like you'all's input.

Pros

1) Awesome customization

2) Large range of lock screens

3) Good camera with touch to focus

Cons

1) No app drawer, however I made a folder as some suggested and placed it in the middle of the doc works good this way

2) No swap (any kernel recommendations for this rom?)

3) Not stable after 1.3ghz is this common? Perhaps the kernel change will fix this.

UPDATE -----

So I installed ILWT_CM7 kernel v1 and all works great, I have had no freezes, I got AnTuTu benchmark of 3051 at 1305mhz max with an interactive governor. I then enabled swap and tried again and received an AnTuTu benchmark of 3029 so no speed difference but I will continue to test.

Here is the link to the kernel, flash at your own risk!

Thanks Hagelslagje!

If you guys want this stripped sense rom then please tell me which widgets(sense)/apps(sense) are most important to you and also which would not be necessary. This will help me in making a one time rom instead of new releases every few days just to accommodate another app / widget. Please don't ask for framework mods(there are other roms you can choose from)(Trackpad wake will be implemented as i can't use my phone without it).

PS: The reason i went back to stock sense is because i got bored of flashing roms every day trying to iron out issues and stock sense has the stability to get the work done (don't consider hd games).

delay first ring

OK so this has been bugging me, the first ring on my phone seems to be delayed and I just found the solution!

We are missing the antispam.apk originally found on MIUI roms from their website, if you are experiencing this then copy the attached antispam.apk (which I extracted from another miui rom) into the system/app directory. Then go to the dialer and click menu->firewall->settings and disable anti-stranger.

This worked for me, I know others had a similar issue, unfortunately you cannot open the firewall settings if you are missing the antispam.apk.
