Hi, anyone here knows how to fix the home button lag in MIUI v4? There's a thread for it in original development section, but can't seem to find one that would work on MIUI. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] maxilogan:
This release is worth the install for at least a couple of reasons: Swype is eventually running (yeah!) and the new dialer interface
[Galaxy S II General] ingbrzy:
@vassalle

Use Siyah Kernel 3.0.1 and change CPU governor...

home button lag is not a bug.. its feature, because of CPU is in deep sleep, so it takes some time to wake up....

Hi guys,

Do you anyone fixed gps issue . I am facing the issue from miui GB .

PLEASE HELP ME
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
Sorry but just a question about the Apex launcher...why are so many people using instead of the miui stock launcher? What's so special and what does it mean from applying different themes?

As always...thanks in advance...

[Galaxy S II General] alexhee:
For me, Apex makes you feel like u r using ICS... :D (Which u are!). Moreover, tons of customizations & features that MIUI launcher lack of (Besides Themes).

Just like you dressing the same old shirt all the times. Would you be bored?

Actually just read up a little about the apex and sounds good...however i love messing with themes and i assume I'll lose that capability with apex...?

MIUI has tons of themes in GB but not in V4. Even now u only able to change lockscreen, wallpaper & icon in current V4 MIUI. Unless themers upgraded their themes to support V4 else it's useless as well.

Last, V4 MIUI for SGS2 is not fully theme-able yet. :) Not until MIUI fix it... I guess this is still long way to go.
[Galaxy S II General] nishadh:
It takes a while for the GPS to lock for the first time. You can try locking onto GPS first time with your wireless network, i think that significantly reduces locking time for gps. After that its just smooth sailing.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] halfvast:
I tested miui for weekend, loved it, so beautifull and settings are well developed. But I had some problems, so I had to switch back to the Omega 9. The biggest prob was bootloop after changing font with Miui theme program. Also themes did not change framework. And launcher lags sometimes which do not happen with Nova Launcher. Also it did crash few times. My crashes may been caused by kernel or some app dont know, but System is stable with Omega and same configuration. I also had some problems to end a phonecall. Some calls went to background and could not end them. Only if person i spoke call end it or if I rebooted system, calls ended. Its a shame, cos I really liked Miui 2.4.6 =/

Maybe after few months developing I will switch back :)
[Galaxy S II General] sohell:
For me, I applied a combination of three themes that I used to use with MIUI GB.

This combination is working fine for me in v4, other than the phone icon and the notification bar - but I cannot believe that these are deal-breakers for many users!

Also, I don't understand why anyone would use MIUI and Apex, when you could just use CM9. Don't get me wrong, there is no problem that anyone does, and it is great to have that choice - I just don't get it.

Also, out of curiosity, is it possible to use the MIUI Launcher with CM9? I have not explored it, but wonder if anyone else has...

[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
Well I'm back on GB MIUI again due to the current lack of theme support. I'd go as far to say that the theming side of MIUI is it's most attractive feature so I'm patiently waiting till they have settled on the GUI and start pushing themes out.

I was getting insane battery drain on the latest V4 as well although I know that could just be me I couldn't solve it.

GB MIUI is still far more stable in my opinion but v4 is definitely making good progress (I also noticed the cm9 based version is drastically smoother btw)...
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
A bit of a debate here:

I am currently on CM9... before, until some days ago, i have been on MIUI but what keeps me away right now is how dependent MIUI is now of Samsung's moves since they are not based on CM anymore.... I mean, if Samsung does not update anymore, we are stuck on 4.0.3... am I right?

This kind of ties your hands a lot in a long term way of thinking.... you can get really used to MIUI and once Samsung leaves the device forgotten, either MIUI shifts back to a more updated base (Like CM) or they will have to compile their own.....

Appart from this thought, i have the feeling that v4 is just samsung ROM with some MIUI interface customizations on top..... and what is making me have second thoughts for coming back from CM9 is that this means that the devs can focus more in fixing small problems on the rom and making it have a better appearance rather than making hardware working, which is even more problematic and is not really noticeable on a daily basis use..... for the final user MIUI is more interesting since every week you have new features.

One last thing i want to point out is the performance: Antutu and quadrant give pretty much the same results on one rom and on the other..... so the battle is not about performance.

Having the hardware fully functional on MIUI the only thing holding you back should be the bad performance of MIUI home (That can be fixed shifting to Apex launcher)

I only wish there were way to have both roms in the same time..... :)
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
I sometimes find touch repsonse abit didgy laggy and also on lockscreen. Is siyah kernel working on this rom?
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Yeah, you're right with this.

They will have to either switch back to CM or stick with the old base. Samsung won't make their rom's opensource, so there is no compiling it themselves. They could also try to build their own rom from aosp, but I see them failing really hard. The MIUI dev's aren't bad, but they always had problems with polishing. And building your own rom from stock is all about polishing.

Because it is nothing more. You can even see TouchWiz in some places.

Not noticeable you say? Bad battery-life, overheating not working parts? I think they are noticeable. However, as I said before, MIUI was never good at polishing. Back in the early days of MIUI GB for the S2 it was a mess. Force Closes and freezes that were magically fixed after they were fixed in the current CM 7 nightlies.

You forget that CM9 is still experimental. It has poor batterylife in comparison with MIUI v4 and the device gets very warm. CM9 will get it's own open source kernel in a few months. Till then it should be stable. Do a benchmark then.

As for the features: CM has some nice features too.

Most of the CM9 features are only placeholders right now.

But that's like saying that Stock roms aren't bad when you remove TouchWiz. It totally removes the purpose of it. At the moment MIUI is really unpolished out of the box. Cyanogenmod 9 is too and so is the Stock ICS rom by Samsung. The question is: Which one will be fixed first? From the past I'd bet that Samsung will slow down MIUI, while CM9 will reach a state of "near-perfection".

There are MIUI v4 roms that are based on CM9. And (what a big surprise) they are smoother.

Here is a question I ask you:

Which rom is better? CyanogenMod 9 or Stock ICS?

Let me remind you:

The only two hardware components that aren't working under CM9 are the FM-Radio and the TV-out. Fixing the TV-out is on the todo list already and due to some twist in the CM9 development, we might even see FM-Radio, as some developer has stated that he

might

found a way to implement it without breaking mainline.

Let's say both are fixed. What are the pros of sticking with Samsung as a base then? Some of the cons were already stated earlier...

anyone has problem with latest siyah 3.0.1 and mtp or usb mass storage? It's not working for me...

And second question...I read from others people too...Everyone has still problems theming status bar and sms?
[Galaxy S II General] maxilogan:
I installed Siyha kernel today and I'm facing the very same problem. Still not worked that much to find a solution (had to, well, work..)
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
How do I edit icons? I'm using MIUI GB

How to edit page indicators?
[Galaxy S II General] sgunf:
Well I solved it using USB Mass Storage (from this post).

Not the best way but at least we can manage USB files transfer.

At the moment MIUI supports only mtp, as you probably know, and I had some problem, too ( I could charge and access via adb but couldn't use file transfer, since SDs were not mounted on Windows)
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
Ive got mass storage working perfectly like it does on GB and prefer it to MTP. Hopefully would work fine with Siyah
[Galaxy S II General] hussainmushahid:
you can download icon packs, there are plenty of great one's in the android themes section, I'm personally using Vexillum MIUI V4 project.Put them in MIUI/Themes inside sdcard.

Page indicator is part of the homescreen so in order to change it you'll have to change your homescreen theme or edit it and replace the page indicators will your own custom ones.
[Galaxy S II General] sgunf:
Good to know it, but how did you get it to work?

You should have modified something, since only mtp is available on fresh install.

Did you use setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb command?

BTW using UMS app unlocked mass storage mode. Now I uninstalled it but I have that nice USB storage switch again
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
I did nothing extra, just flashed normally and have mass storage with switch

[Galaxy S II General] beren:
according to changelog, usb mount issue should be fixed on last siyah kernel (3.1b1)...didn't have time to test yet..
[Galaxy S II General] sgunf:
You can take a theme you like and convert it so you can edit.

Some time ago I made a little script that do the hard work for you: it allow you to uncompress e compress again the edited theme in .mtz format.

It worked with GB, and I assume that it works with ICS (sure it does with icons).

Download this file, unrar and copy the mtz theme to edit.

Execute instructions (well you have just to press a key:D) and you will have a folder with including theme elements.

Go into "icons" folder and change the icons you prefer. Remember to keep pixels dimensions and PNG format (90x90 32bit).

Once done press a key on the script to start re-converting.

Copy the theme on the device (better on internal SD/MIUI/theme).

Open theme app and choose to modify current theme.

Chose "icons" from the theme you just copied and there you are! New icons!

Hope to have been clear enough, mate! (English not my first language you know...;))

Nice setup! That's actually the same setup I wanted to run. So dualbooting is working good now? Haven't tried it yet.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yes, works awesome. Not all options done yet, but you can clone a installation as secondary rom. Once you clone, you can then install your primary rom. Choosing the secondary rom is done by rebooting the phone and pressing the home button when the message is displayed on the screen, within 3 seconds.

Once fully done, Siyah 3 is gonna be great.
