Can't call from Phone Book - A2test

I ran into something odd yesterday - attempting to call people from the phone book - normally I just click the phone number I want to call - but when I did that this time - a screen came up asking me to choose a program to complete the action - the options given were - GOOGLE VOICE and SMS - I do use GOOGLE voice for Voice Mail but not for making calls- when I tried "GOOGLE VOICE" it went to an SMS entry page - but not the phone - no matter what I did I could not make a phone call from a number in my phone book -

I could still make calls by dialing direct - or returning calls that I missed or had recieved from the Call Log - I just couldn't make any calls easily from the phone book -

I went back to the previous nandroid of MIUI and everything returned to normal. I thought maybe it was a bad flash so I flashed everything again - from scratch - and had the same problem.

I love this rom - better than CM 9 in some ways (and no, it is not quite as mature as CM9 - but it is getting there fast) - I do like CM 9 too - I just love the personalization options avaialble in MIUI more - I realize this is in Alpha release and there is still a lot of work to be done - I am cool with all of that - looking forward to the next release - hope the Supercharge services Jar file is included like it was in the original release - (but which seems to have been exlcluded from the A2 test release) thanks for all the work Devs...

byy the way - if the problems I have with calling from my phone book are the result of some setting I misssed somewhere - tell me where to look, I have searched everywhere - (I also noticed that in "Sounds" there is no option to check volume of Ringtones - this was an option in the previous release...I am open to suggestions or ideas ? I probably will wait and reflash when 3 comes up
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
+1 - can't make calls from "contacts". Hoping next release will shore some things up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
Whew - I thought it was just me - LOL - I went back to the Original MIUI A2 - that Marcussant posted just prior to posting the A2 test file - that one is much better - you can call from Contacts - Themes worked for me in that one too, I think I did have to create a "theme" folder though, and it has the DieHard Services Jar file preinstalled for V6 Supercharger (which is missing from the A2 Test version - l have a hard time going 'backwards' -I always feel like maybe I am missing something - but in this case, that version is just better - probably because A2 Test is just that - test - and not what we can expect from the next A3 release..who knows when that will be, hopefully sooner rather than later -

In case you interested - here is the file that does seem to work better than A2 Test

Bump?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
Wheres the beef?

All the "hubub" seems to be directed at CM9 these days - awesome rom no doubt - the beta release yesterday was great news - personally I love CM9 and am grateful for it making ICS possible on my epic - but I have teh MIUI bug now - and while CM 9 is great, I can't get enough of MIUI - and desperately am looking forward to the next update -

meanwhile - this thread seems to have lost all momentum - there hasn't been a post here or on the MIUI thread http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/rom-2-3-2-epic-4g-miui-v4-ics-alpha2-almost-everything-works.15621/ in quite a while -

So what's going on? I know the "Devs" aren't sleeping - maybe distracted by CM9 and helping out in that arena? I for one, hope they come back soon - Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining - I just feel a little neglected - :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gust30:
I agree. I think everyone is wrapped around CM9 beta for the moment. Just be patient, marcusant said the next update is on its way and will be awesome!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I've been waiting for a cm update
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
After I wrote my post, I thought that maybe that was the case - sorry if I sounded like I was *****ing - not really - I just can't say enough about the MIUI rom you built - it has all the neat things from ICS and CM9 - with tons of personaliation options - then all the times you and a few others posted how GREAT the update was going to be - well - I felt like a kid at Christmas whocan see all the brightly wrapped gifts and shiny toys under the tree but cannot open the presents yet -

LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:

Theme for v4!!!

First I'd like to state that yes, i do realize this is the development thread and that there is a whole different section for themes. However, I believe that it would be very redundant to start a whole new thread there to like to an already existing thread.

I know that one of the main reasons people go for MIUI is the awesome customization options like the themes. And i was searching around for themes that were compatible with v4 and couldn't find anything due to upstream bugs. But, I found something even better. Well I think so anyway. I found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1454388

Project Vexillum might not be a full blown theme but I honestly think that it looks better than 98% of other MIUI themes. All this is really is an icon expansion pack for the stock MIUI v4 but for those of you who are anxiously anticipating the port of your favorite MIUI Gingerbread theme, I think this will hold you off until it happens or it might even become your new favorite. At the moment there are about 770 icons but there are new icons coming every day. And if your favorite app/game doesn't have a custom icon if you post a request on the thread with the name of the app and the market (play store now) link there are a lot of people on that thread that make beautiful icons and they get them done really fast. When you go to apply the theme make sure to uncheck the statusbar setting because the 3G moves on top of the bars.

Here are a couple of screenshots of my phone right now:

Hope everyone enjoys this theme as much as I am. And be sure to thank PhysX and all the others that contributed icons that you use.

would it be possible (or even worth it) to integrate bravia engine?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jiffyunderground:
I integrated the Brava engine with CM9 Beta0 and it doesn't seem to do much. I saw a small difference with video but might be a placebo. It's pretty easy to integrate but yields little results on a superamoled screen it seems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Bravia engine is just two files. No service is started this nothing happens. Unless Linux randomly changed how it works.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Half way through my testing. It's going a little slow due to loads of tiny issues, but luckily they have all been tiny so far.

Edit: Well... a build was actually produced by the MIUI Builder. Using CM9 beta0 and Fascinate MIUI v4 2.3.2 as the bases. I'm uploading it to dropbox, but that will probably get over the limit quickly since the file is rather large.

Download Link

Note: I have not tested this build at all. I just need someone to do so. If it boots, fantastic! Let me know what does/doesn't work. Be sure you do a nandroid backup or something so you can go back in case this turns out to be utter crap.

Edit2: pretty sure MMS wont work... I didn't put the MMS fix in the MIUI Builder yet.

Edit3:Well, i'll leave this for the night. I'm going to be up all night tomorrow, so I need some sleep.

Temp fix for MMS within this build, copy the MMS.apk from any of the previous v4 builds from marcusant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
For grins and giggles - while waiting for the official update, I thought I would 'play' around with this - unfortunately cannot boot - tried installing but no luck, installation aborted about half way thru the install process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
+1 installation aborted. Status 7.

I can't wait to the new update :)

Copy metainf from the build that works
[Epic 4G Android Development] djjroc007:
How do you change the ringtone for calls?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
I am not sure what happened but the RINGTONES option in this section of settings is missing in the most recent Test Version of MIUI - MIUI-V4 2.2.24 (Android 4.0.3) the download that Marcusant posted prior to this one has it - as did the original download - but this verison it is missing from - you can do one of two things - Click on the THEMES ap - and once in - click Customize (scroll all lthe way down) you should find a place where you can assign a ring tone -

the other option is to down load the previous version of this ROM that Marcusant provided before he pushed the "TEST" version - here it is if you need it: http://www.mediafire.com/?six11o31ffchjdt - or you can wait until the next release is out - and that hopefully will be happening really soon - I can only assume that this issue and a few others that effected the V2 Test release will be taken care of in the new release -

Good luck - hope this helps - if so, hit the thanks button -
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
mocsab, if that works for you, let me know, so I can make the appropriate changesin the MIUI Builder.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
In this post I will only include what happened in the public #epic irc channel on the server irc.irondust.net​

LOG (Directly from MIRC. No edits have been made): http://pastebin.com/d7cM5Hdi

The current projects of xboxfanj and I are:

-Sense (no source available due to it being proprietary )

-MIUI4 ICS (same as sense)

MIUI GB ('source' is available but it is not real source and documented in Chinese)

-AOKP port from source (source is available and will be posted when it is ported and boots)

NOTE: The epiccm team may not seem this way on xda (maybe they do) but are complete ***holes.

I was asking for help with an AOKP port from source and I left for about an hour to go play a game. While playing I heard an IRC message from bikcmp (the owner of irondust (cool guy)) telling me that I was banned from #epic. I later was contacted by noobnl (one of the epiccm devs... you get where I am going). I will not say the contents of this message because it is a private query and I am not looking for any legal trouble. Basically, I don't want to use Cyanogenmod again. Eventually I was unbanned.

When I got back, they told me that if I actually ported from source, I would be fine and I would be recruited to be on the epiccm team. (the reason I was banned was because xboxfanj asked for help in a SENSE build). I responded with this (exact quote except with profanity censored):

I am sorry that you don't care about development for the community... Does the average person CARE if it was a build from source? That was a test build to hold people off.. I pulled the build. You know what? (CENSORED) it. I'll kang every single rom to make a point. I am trying to build aokp from source at the moment... I am sorry for helping the community. I also do not want to join a group of assholes. I would deny an invite.

I ported AOKP for the community to have something to use before I finished a source port. I did not do it for myself or for the epic cm team... I personally use MIUI...

Anyways, I will finish this post off with a 7zip kanged build of AOKP made by Alias8818: http://dev-host.org/rjk

I will let you guys know that I have abandoned my attempt to port from source and will continue 7zipping away. I am aware that this will start drama, but drama always happens when you try to compete with the 'gods' who are Cyanogenmod. Have a nice day.

Enjoy the responses from the epiccm team.

If you want any help on this rom or want to talk, please join #epicusers on irc.irondust.net . The #epic channel is run by our cm overlords and they will freak if you talk about a rom that is not CM.

Yea, that's crazy. Marcusant people sure dislike you for whatever reason..... you're a cool guy, even though you're younger than I am :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Ahhh, I'm rather sure you'll be jumped on in one way or another for posting the logs lol. But this does in truth pertain to your development, so I see nothing wrong with it(posting of the logs). Drama is an aspect of all things, Android and the word development are immersed in necessary and unnecessary drama heh. But just do you, what you feel proper.

Dear, Marcusant

I respect three people in these forums more than anyone else on xda.

1. You

2. QBKing77

3. Kennyglass

You guys all have class, you all play by the rules. You are always there to help other even if they're a noob. Plus, you guys just make the sickest things and contribute so much time and effort into this incredible community. I believe you guys just don't get enough credit for what you do.

The cm team may be a bunch of tools, but there is no point in letting it in anyway phase what you do.

I speak for a lot of people when I say that your too good to get sucked up into the stupid drama of what these people have to offer.

Your better than that...

Keep doing what your doing in school, your job, and this community. In the end, we'll always have your back.

GREAT WORK & THANK YOU for sharing this with all of us in the community!

So far everything is running very smooth. Having no issues running Gmail or any other app for that matter as of yet. If this makes any difference, I did flash the latest gapps immediately after flashing this rom (before rebooting).

There is one thing that is giving me trouble though. Is there a way that I can get rid of the voicemail notification along the top bar? I searched for a solution & have tried several ways to try to eliminate this...but no dice. Is there a sure fire way to get rid of this or is this an issue that I just need to ignore? Nothing that I can't live with, just a little distracting.

Thanks again to everyone that has made this rom possible!

I tried and ended up bricking my phone - lol - I never should have tried it in the first place - I feel fairly comfortable moving some files around with root explorer and flashing stuff - but this gets a little over my head - whatever I did, I did wrong and ended up spending another hour getting my phone unbricked - rooted and back to CM9.

Oh well - I guess I should have waited for Marcusant's update and been more patient - but now, reading all the recent posts - I am not sure what is happening. I would have thought the update for MIUI would have been posted already - but some of the posts seem to indicate otherwise - what is happening? does anyone know?

[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Currently there are none. The full source isn't released only source to patch existing zips, which I'm not sure if anyone has been using.

If you don't mind, I'd rather catch this question before people who are fanboys of either side chime in.

Up to date source code was asked for from Earthbound and as always GPL was called upon due to the nature of a deep sleep fix, a user commented making it out to be more than it did. And a request became an attack due to the inciting of people within said thread and Earthbound felt the need to get away from it and leave the site to sidestep drama. Not trying to be arrogant but that's as close as you'll get to an unbiased answer without ass kissing or favoritism involved
