I tried the normal miui v4 and the galnet versions.

I did factory reset/wipe data/cache & dalvic.

1) With

Galnet

I get those bugs:

-Force close when trying to open for the 1st time Gallery (need to take a screenshot of a picture before being able to open gallery)

-Force close when accessing Settings> Sound> Volumes.

-Force close when trying to choose background from gallery by: Menu> Wallpaper> Desktop Wallpaper> Others > Gallery.

-Force close when accessing Settings> Display> Brightness.

-Force close when accessing Settings> Display> Wallpaper> Gallery.

-Force close when accessing Setting> Sound> Default notification> None.

-Force close when accessing Settings> Security> Enable access control> Protect applications> Select app.

-Force close when in contact and rotating new

-Auto-Rotation doesn't work on pictures in gallery.

-Cant change the position of backlight toggle (not in the "customize toggles' position)

Can't apply theme (maybe because the feature is not yet implemented)

-Data usage display KB while in fact its MB

-Lockscreen still display chinese words (need to apply the actual theme to get it in english)

-MIUI doesnt display contacts name (except in contacts) because of country code (+33 etc...) temp fix: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22089984&postcount=80 (check the end of the post)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

2) With the

normal miui

I get those bugs:

-Force close on Setup Sim lock new

-Force close when accessing Settings> Security> Enable access control> Protect applications> Select app.

-Lockscreen still display chinese words (need to apply the actual theme to get it in english) (fix is done by flashing the lockscreen, its somewhere on the miuiandroid forum)

-Cant change the position of backlight toggle (not in the "customize toggles' position) (dont know if it was meant to be like this but its not a deal breaker)

-Auto-Rotation doesn't work on pictures in gallery.

-Country code added to phone number (sms/calls) thus making android not showing the contact name. temp fix: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22089984&postcount=80 (check the end of the post)

So miuiandroid version is better than galnet's.
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
Is there no way to fix it for the default sms? I dont like 3rd party sms apps

Nice battery backup
[Galaxy S II General] a1exander:
Seems that the official miui v4 is more stable than Galnet's version. Gonna go back to that!
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Save contact numbers with country codes or wait for MIUI to fix it.

any way to get full screen caller id / remove sammy phone app. i miss miui caller screen :(
[Galaxy S II General] beston94:
So let me see if I got this right, MIUI updates every Friday. And the updates are due to user feedback? Also do when do you think MIUI will fix the annoying launcher? As in fix the lag and stuttering.

Because to me the launcher of MIUI is like the heart of a human. If it doesn't work properly, then the human won't work properly. I know it sounds stupid but that's just how I see it.

Would really appreciate if someone could shine some light on this!!!

Have a good day!!!
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
It doesn't sound stupid - it's a fact.

As for the bugs:

I don't think anyone can say this for sure, but chances are good that the force closes well be fixed next week. Why? Because those are important bugs and people complain all over the internet. The smoothness will take some more time.
[Galaxy S II General] maxilogan:
Well, of course only the MIUI guys know when they are going to fix it.. But hopefully it will be one of the first things they do.

The stuttering and lagging launcher, the SMS app problems (it freezed a couple of times and didn't show at least one SMS which supposedly was sent to me), and the poor battery life (wiped system/data, cache and dalvik cache) are the reasons that let me return to the CheckROM HD V.6.

I always liked MIUI but when it was based on CM sources there were at least a couple of annoying bugs that prevented it to become a daily rom (at least for me): the camera app stuttering on videos and the data connection dropping from time to time and needing random combinations of 2G/3G ON/OFF, airplane mode ON/OFF to properly work again. I was really hoping that the Samsung base would be an improvement and it appeared to be, in the beginning. Now let's just hope the community will be able to iron out the bugs in a short time :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Little Dragon:
any themes for ICS yet? preferably dark themes? i know the SGS2 version's only been out a few days, but here's to hoping.
[Galaxy S II General] mellll:
My data doesnt work... Anyone know the radio to use for Bell variant???

I hope someone can help with this...
[Galaxy S II General] xsaintzx:
You can just use the themes that is available in the ROM Theme app.

2 charging cycle over I think the battery life is below average but it will get improved, there is a lot of potential in this.

I hope they switch over to LPQ or newer base on next Friday updates, as LPH still have a lot of bugs itself + bugs from MIUI hence it is troublesome.

I will stick to this until next Friday and see. Going to have a long week waiting ahead.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Sorry is this sounds like a really stupid question, but why is it called MIUI V4 if it's 2.3.16? Because it's based on Android 4.0.3? Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] bandroid842:
That is the date & version of its release
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Haha OK thank you :)!
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Unfair. You asked a question and answered, to top that you also cheered us. Bad. :D
[Galaxy S II General] S@!n:
Did any one tried official release of MIUI v4

Its very nice but still has some problems.

Themes are not applied completely, Status bar and dialer remain the same with all themes.

The ringtone can't be changed.

Its a bit laggy as well.

May be some other which i don't know.

Apart from all these problems its still a very nice ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
I gave MIUI a shot to see how it was and I have just gone through all of these and don't get a single FC. It's worth noting that I performed a system partition format and factory reset and in CWM. In fact, I have yet to replicate a single FC.

Everything works perfectly for me.

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

That's not my experience with the status bar. The dialer won't theme using normal themes as it's stock Samsung.

Again, works fine with mine, I have changed my ringtone more than once.
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
How many of you, complaining, did download the rom from the actual official forum of MIUI and who is using one of the first zips that were mirrored along this thread?: To the second ones, i suggest you grab the rom fromm the official forum -> http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/miui-rom-2-3-16-ics-gb-roms-uploaded.15733/ and reflash....... this is the best working ROM, try it and tell me...
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
You could be onto something here. I'm not having 99% of the bugs mentioned in this thread and that is where I downloaded mine.

The only issues I have are the contacts problem in terms of the country code (but 9 out of 10 of my contacts have the +44 already anyway) and a bit of Chinese writing on the lockscreen and certain settings. I have yet to have a single FC.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Best battery on any ICS rom I have tried.
[Galaxy S II General] mixailo:
Changing ringtones not only works, you can even download new ones from the themes app :D the only 3 bugs that bother me are rotation in gallery, problem with widget resizing and wonky homescreen scrolling. I hope the latter will go away when they switch to LPQ base. Oh yeah, I hope they will add their full browser, as soon as you go into options it looks like samsung browser...

As far as in call screen goes, they probably didn't have time or means to change it. Do any of the Samsung roms with added aosp dialer have an aosp in call screen?

@sileshnair: Since you are a theming expert since the milestone days, do you know how to theme the camera and gallery with normal miui icons on the homescreen? No matter what theme I choose, they remain samsung icons with added background.
[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
Anyone else get this error in sdcard status 7 erro? when flashing miui but i can install galnet miui with no problems.
[Galaxy S II General] ogzon:
Is it possible to install stock Samsung music player in MIUI V4?

If it is, can someone PLEASE post it or show me the link where I can download it..

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
I don't think that's possible. Try Poweramp, you'll forget Stock Samsung one. It'll give actual deep bass.
[Galaxy S II General] Nuja:
Had this error for miui galnet and non galnet, I had to flash a stock samsung 2.3.5 + kernel (neak in my case) 1st, then factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvic, then flash miui.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Getprop?
[Galaxy S II General] Nuja:
As its not based on cm9 but samsung rom, it may work. Just need to give it a try.
[Galaxy S II General] xsaintzx:
My phone doesn't want to go into deep sleep, hence the idle is draining battery fast.

Check with BBS I don't have any unusual wakelocks.

But I'm doubting AudioOut_1 which have 305 count and 1.7%.
[Galaxy S II General] ogzon:
That's what I thought.. Just need someone to post it as an app..

I believe that power AMP is good, MIUI stock player is great, but I am just used to use stock player, I know where everything is (song's I mean).. So if anyone can post it - it would be great..

[Galaxy S II General] Nitrius:
Is there an installation guide somewhere? Or just put the zip on the sd card and flash with cwm recovery?

Also android market and such is included? Or is it like cyanogenmod, where you need a standalone zip?
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
CWM install is fine. Do a /system format then a factory reset in CWM before installing the zip. As for the Market, it's included and no stand alone zip is required. But it upgrades from Market to Play Shop almost immediately after you first run it.
[Galaxy S II General] imlgl:
How stable is this. Is there any major bugs or anything as I want to use this as a daily rom. Currently using Checkrom V6
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
It depends who you speak to. I put off installing it because I heard about bugs all over the place. However, I took the plunge just to test it out and haven't had a single FC, despite claims that they were easy to replicate. I can only put down my lack of bugs to making sure I had a completely clean canvas before installing and ensuring I sourced the rom correctly. Make sure you download it from the official site (http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/miui-rom-2-3-16-ics-gb-roms-uploaded.15733/) and perform a /system format in CWM as well as a a dalvik wipe. Then perform a factory wipe in the main CWM menu before installing the zip.
[Galaxy S II General] imlgl:
I will see what it's like. I can always just nandroid back if it's not for me :)
[Galaxy S II General] jankhner:
FC's all the time (gallery, sound settings, music, etc. etc.). i tried the "original" and the "galnet" versions, did full wipe, formatted /system etc... Hopefully the bugs are fixed on the next version. otherwise very smooth and nice rom but definetly not for a daily use yet.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
For you perhaps. I don't know what you have done wrong but I have now been running the official V4 for over 24 hours without a single FC. I even went through the list of things causing FCs according to others and didn't suffer any of them. I also disagree with your claim it isn't good enough for daily use.

I suggest another install from fresh.
[Galaxy S II General] pewpewbangbang:
Yea, i've had no FC's or problems. Maybe one or two.

I know trying to resize a widget gives me an FC, otherwise everything works.

Battery life is good, but it can definitely be tweaked. There are a decent amount of wake locks but I'm sure MIUI will work those out.
[Galaxy S II General] imlgl:
No FC yet but I have had it just lock up, and not waking up from sleep. Just hoping these sort themselves out after I have finished restoring everything. No system apps are being restored which would cause this.
[Galaxy S II General] CA3iR0:
I hope these bugs get fixed soon and this will be the best rom of them all! It has an amazing battery life and fluidness. To get perfect just needs to get the FCs fixed (volume, etc), support more languages than english and chinese, and get the chinese characters wiped off from the lock screen.

Since MIUI android uses samsung sources, the battery life has definitely improved and there are a lot less bugs. Using galnet version here.
[Galaxy S II General] anishtrip:
Hi,

Love the smoothness and overall feel of this ROM.

But Im having problem with poor data connectivity. Using KI3.......can you suggest any better Modem/Radio???
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Try KL1. For some its bad, but for most its a very good modem.
[Galaxy S II General] californicated:
Or KI4. Both the most common ones ;)
[Galaxy S II General] beren:
is there any way to disable the home button's double click function? my gs2's button is a bit broken and sometimes keeps unwanted double click starting the vlingo app...

is there any mod/app working on miui to disable this option?
[Galaxy S II General] jankhner:
Thanks, but like I said, I already did two "fresh" installs.. Maybe i'll try one more time...
[Galaxy S II General] etern1ty:
I tried the 2.3.16 V4 build from galnet and didnt like it. I found the home button had the lag that most GB roms had before the fix was found, it had a few bugs and things did FC a lot. Some apps would just freeze aswell. For me, running a custom modem from vodafone australia caused massive battery drain, to the point where my phone lost about 40% in like 2-3 hours when 3G was enabled. I tried doing a new full wipe and experienced the same issues.. im back to 2.3.9 until this stuff is resolved =]
[Galaxy S II General] imlgl:
Only big issue for me I have found is the lack of Facebook sync. I don't know if this is a MIUI bug or Facebook needs updating for ICS

SetCpu isn't working with new MIUI V.4 on my GSII, when i turn off the screen system freeze and it's impossible to restart the system.

I also have a terrible battery drain, you?

[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
That isn't a MIUI issue, it's a kernel issue. It's the same with all the current ICS kernels to my knowledge.
[Galaxy S II General] ClosingTime:
Does anyone know the application names for the camera and gallery apps?

One thing I don't like with MIUI is that I really want :-) :-P etc to show as smileys, not letters.
[Galaxy S II General] darth_blaze:
thanks mate, so - at the moment- there's no way to use SetCpu on MIUI..

just out of curiosity, which is the MIUI V.4 "stock" kernel?

Laggy transition effects in the home screen sometimes...

But im pretty sure this will be fixed in the next releases!

[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
Two things:

First: Am I the only one slightly dissapointed with chrome for android?: The scroll is just weird, it hangs up a lot and is a heavyweight app.... i love chrome/chromium, and i always use them in my desktop, but the android version must improve A LOT before becoming a true alternative to the stock browser.

Second: How to use OpenVPN? It does not seem to work anymore in this rom... :(

[Galaxy S II General] Freddan80:
Don't think so, to early, you'll have to wait for a few weeks and hope they will stand behind the SGS2 more than they did with gb Miui. They released their official Miui and they failed to fix a single issue for over 6 months.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
To be fair the original official GSII MIUI was based on Cyanogen which was never perfect itself, where as MIUI V4.0 is based upon stock.
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
Nice, has stock sms been fixed? When a message is received, the contact name is not displayed but sending is fine
[Galaxy S II General] imlgl:
Which is the best version to be running then, galnet or the official one from MIUI themselves?
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
The name is displayed fine, you just need the country code in front of the number (+44 for the UK for example). I have this on all of my contacts anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Anybody tried the new Galnet MIUI? Is it better?
[Galaxy S II General] busterdev:
tried the galnet version.

it's ok. bit more fluid, tiny bit improved

all the settings fc are fixed (volume, brightness etc)

dont now why there are 2 calendar apps present though

launcher scrolling is pretty good

but scrolling is still lagging and touch isnt as responsive when browsing.

but that's with all the v4 versions
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
Do you people recommend another kernel for this rom?

Im thinking of testing something new,,,,

And a bit off topic but, isn't there any new recovery? Touch one if can be?

BTW: I installed OpenVPN installer from market and performed the binarry install of OenVPN afterwards: OpenVPN works flawlessly :)
[Galaxy S II General] beren:
same here, especially using the lockscreen controls...
[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
new Galnet update seems abit betternow, though now i've got 2 galleries and lost the very useful anti spam app. Pretty much all the settings force closes have been sorted in the new galnet release. touch response needs abit more but its definitely now more useable than before. Happy with it.
[Galaxy S II General] jankhner:
not sure if miuiandroid has also updated their v4 version yesterday... i installed for the third time this rom yesterday (exactly the same way as earlier) and suddenly everything is working and I haven't had any force closes!?
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
Is this a bug though? This never happened on the other miui roms. I guess last resort is adding the country code
[Galaxy S II General] craigdabbs:
I think it is a bug, when you change your address book to include the +44 (international codes) it stops the contact name showing when receiving a call as it comes through as 07******** .

Im using a app called prefixer to remove the 0 on mobile numbers and put on +44 so i can at least see in my call log whos called :).

This was not he case in the older MIUI where it worked fine, and all standard ICS builds also.
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
So if you add +44 that fixes the sms received but breaks the contact name in incoming calls?
[Galaxy S II General] Monu123:
Not really. I have all my numbers saved wid country code and call as well as sms are fine.
[Galaxy S II General] craigdabbs:
For me it breaks incoming calls, as they show with a 0. Might be specific to UK networks tho? I'm on vodafone.

Don't take long to test :-)

Anyone know how to uninstall the torch app? cant find it with Titanium Backup at all.
[Galaxy S II General] icechiller:
Installed this a couple of days ago for my first taste of MIUI and I'm liking it so far. No force closes or anything for me. Only problem I'm getting is when trying to install certain apps from the Market, I receive an error saying "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card". You can get around it by unmounting the SD card from the phone but hopefully this is fixed in the next version because it's pretty annoying.
