Really loving MIUI on the SGS2. Best ROM hands down. This latest update is fantastic.

Just one tiny, tiny thing though. Does anyone get that slight "jerk" when scrolling on the homescreen? It's small, but for me it's there. It's just before the screen starts to scroll after you've swiped.

It's the same one that I used to notice on TouchWiz. Could be the touchscreen itself though, but I didn't seem to have it on ADW when I used it.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Does anyone know any good kernels for MIUI? The battery life is already very good, 5 hours screen time, but I'd like to Underclock, and whatnot :). Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] fattymcdirty:
miui dialer included this time? or is it still the ugly samsung stock one?
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
MIUI's :D
[Galaxy S II General] le_lutin:
The dialer is MIUI, the calling screen is still samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] fattymcdirty:
hmmm... calling screen samsung-styled is still ugly .. :( gonna stick to cm9 until this is included (if they will ever be able to include it). i just dont know why that miui build is based on the stock samsung rom and not cm9.... video recording will be fixed in cm9 now... maybe team miui switches over to a proper base now :-)

[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
Same here, it was smooth in build 23. Did you disable wallpaper scrolling?
[Galaxy S II General] dzontra83:
Is siyah kernel compatible with this rom? Is anyone using it?
[Galaxy S II General] le_lutin:
I would have thought it was obvious why they used the samsung base - it was (and still is) in a more stable state than CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
Was hoping they would of based it on LP3. I'll wait another week and see bow it goes.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
True. But because of that we don't get the full MIUI experience.
[Galaxy S II General] le_lutin:
Agreed, but i prefer what we have now to no MIUI at all.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Nope, tried it and it just gives a black screen of death.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Whoever wants the full experience could always use the AOSP based version by AdyScorpius.
[Galaxy S II General] beston94:
Has the scrolling improved in this 2.3.30?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Actually, MIUI is far less stable and more buggy than cm9.
[Galaxy S II General] Knight77:
Hi I noticed something: since this rom is using the samsung base themes, icon packages and lockscreen have problem with some things. In particular the lockscreen that have a camera function they don't work because before they pointed to com.miui.camera (now is different) and same things for the icons, they cannot "skin" the camera and dialer icons.

Does anybody know how to fix this? I'd like to use this lockscreen

http://ex-slym.deviantart.com/#/d4tn7hq
[Galaxy S II General] rothariger:
are you using 2.3.30?

those things are working fine for me...
[Galaxy S II General] Knight77:
2.3.16, can you try the lockscreen I linked ? Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] rothariger:
not from my work, i will try those at home...
[Galaxy S II General] Sichroteph:
I found the scrolling excellent in this build
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Does anyone know how to change the order of the folders? I hate using 3rd party launchers just because I can't arrange the folder alphabetically, cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] le_lutin:
That's not been my experience.
[Galaxy S II General] goTouch:
The latest version of Codeworkx CM9 is perfect.

HD video record works now, no GPS problem, battery is perfect, the performance is greater.

I can't find any problem on CM9. Best ROM ever!
[Galaxy S II General] FelipeRRM:
No FM Radio neither MHL Tv Out are working, those are must-have features, how come you say everything is working fine?

I'd go to CM9 instantly if those were working...
[Galaxy S II General] Sichroteph:
In CM9 scrolling speed is disappointing for me since 28/03, and 420p video recording is not what I call perfect. I came back to MIUI after one day. I missed too much functionalities that you don't have in CM9 too. (lock screen torch and firewall mainly)
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Just noticed something: why did they remove facial recognition unlock? Sorry if I'm late.
[Galaxy S II General] rothariger:
With your lockscreen isn't working...
[Galaxy S II General] le_lutin:
No TV out is a deal breaker for me so from my point of view cm9 is not perfect.
[Galaxy S II General] Hausschuh:
I have the same issue with the Icons..:/
[Galaxy S II General] dijum:
Hi!

I downloaded miui 2.3.30 and put it on the phone. Then I wiped cahce and dalvik cache. Then I started the the update process thru cwm recovery like I have been doing for ever, but this time I only could get to samsung original startup and then the screen went black?

After this I tried to format /cache, /system, /data and /sdcard. And now when I trie to install the latest miui rom i get:

"Installing update...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")=="GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.build.product")=="GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2"

E:Error in sdcard/miui/miuiandroid_SGS2-2.3.30.zip

(status 7)"

I had siyah kernel when I tried to install it if it helps, but I have tried many different kernels and nothing works, not even installing stock android on it :(

What should I do?
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
I'd recommend flashing anything via Odin and trying again, otherwise you're kinda screwed ..
[Galaxy S II General] nishadh:
Actually that feature was there in the GB roms. I wonder why they removed that feature. I would also like to sort everything in my folders alphabetically. Seems like there is no way of doing it anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
At least 1 of the siyah kernels had errors when flashing through cwm. If you have a nandroid with different kernel you can restore just the kernel, will save you having to do a fresh install.
[Galaxy S II General] ingbrzy:
LP3 Cf-root kernel...

[Galaxy S II General] dijum:
When I trie to mount USB storage I get E:Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory?
[Galaxy S II General] Knight77:
Because as I said the names are different... :-( I tried to rename the icons in the mtz files but doesn't work. Dialer and camera don't get skinned and in the lock screen with camera it just unlock the phone and doesn't load the camera app...
[Galaxy S II General] dzontra83:
I tried to flash it over latest 2.3.30 build, and it just didnt wont to boot. I had to reinstall rom again with cwm. Any idea why it didnt boot, it got stuck on miui boot logo?
[Galaxy S II General] Knight77:
Ok I fixed it. I checked the manifest.xml of the new MIUI lockscreen (4 ways, working in SGS 2 MIUI V4) and I replaced the "Intent action" part with the one in that xml file:

<Intent action="android.media.action.STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA" category="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>

Now is perfectly working :-)

Miui is not working with siyah kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Anyone know of any kernels/apps to underclock with? My phone keeps getting hot. Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] MReda:
Has anyone managed to install any apps to the SD card ??

I can't move apps to SD card nor can I restore from TB, I have to unmount the SD card, so the apps would be installed/restored on the internal memory.

Also, is there a way to restore the desktop layout from GB ??
[Galaxy S II General] lailiangfa:
Awesome

Just want to post that MIUI is awesome haha. Using it well :)
[Galaxy S II General] fearkillerr:
To restore your APPS using TB, you have to restore it to INTERNAL storage to work...

Open TB and click preferences, then look for Install Location and choose INTERNAL, and then restore. Viola :)
[Galaxy S II General] Barbatos90:
Does somebody try the new Speedmod kernel (ICS version) with MIUI 2.3.30 ?
[Galaxy S II General] ingbrzy:
Guys I tried MIUI v4 from AdyScorpius build 2.3.31 and it works more greater than official MIUI... its based on AOSP and CM9.. so no more Samsung ****s...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1458382

I install with NO WIPE from 2.3.30 official MIUI...
[Galaxy S II General] ny-hardcore:
Posts in the thread you linked refer to stuff not working or missing....
[Galaxy S II General] :
I prefer MIUI + Samsung. Best of both worlds. Anyways, what Samsung **** are you referring to?
[Galaxy S II General] ingbrzy:
@sileshnair

Specialy calling app...

there is used MIUI app for calling with full screen contact picture...
[Galaxy S II General] MReda:
Yes I know that, but the problem is I don't have enough space on the internal storage because I try to restore ~200 Apps/Games.

It's fine for a couple of apps & games but I really need to install/restore apps to the SD card, I hope somebody has found a solution.

Or I guess we'll have to wait for Xiomi to fix it in future releases.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
I'd rather not try it, as it doesn't have cwm and I don't have a laptop atm.
[Galaxy S II General] fearkillerr:
Its a major ICS problem, i have it on Sensation and SGS2
[Galaxy S II General] :
It specifically says only for Samsung stock ICS roms. Will not work.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Give it time. It will come. Its only the second release.
[Galaxy S II General] FelipeRRM:
Why can't I update from the software update option under the settings?

It dowloads the update, I click "reboot and apply", and then it enter in CWM and it says "Waitig for *something* to mount" and it stays that way for 20 seconds and than it reboots and the update isn't applied!
[Galaxy S II General] Vylle:
is there anything i can do about the battery drain on this phone?

normally my phone would be able to play games while its plugged in whenever i use a samsung rom but now that im on MiUi it continues to drain as if its not plugged in, i've tried all sprts of versions of MiUi from MiUi.US, MiUi Android, GalnetMiui and MiUi.Per

i used to bea ble to use siyah to help with battery power but now there are no kernels that i can get - what should i do?
[Galaxy S II General] prof.kiwi:
I have problems downloading apps while Im on 3G??
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Clear the Play Store's data.
[Galaxy S II General] MReda:
Go to the "Downloads" app/icon, then uncheck download using Wi-Fi, also go to the settings in that app & remove file size limit.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Is it just me but when streaming movies online its very jittery?
[Galaxy S II General] brpqzme:
Anyone figured out how to get Swype to work with MIUI? Works perfect with stock ICS, but not with MIUI...
[Galaxy S II General] rj.camargo:
Hi, since the last update the dictionaries for autocorrect are missing, anybody else experiencing this?

Anyone know how to fix it?

There's 2 versions of the Android keyboard, use the other one.

[Galaxy S II General] Trances01:
Please CRT Effect off !!! anyone managed to make it work ?!
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Yes, let's please leave that crap off.
[Galaxy S II General] FelipeRRM:
I want to have that effect too.

I just don't get why people criticize requests they don't use or don't like, when you always have the option to TURN IT OFF. Don't like it? Just DON'T ****ING ENABLE IT! Let it as a option for those who like it omg!
[Galaxy S II General] :
I have it running on Miui CN. Which rom are you running?
[Galaxy S II General] Trances01:
"MIUI android v4 >> 2.3.30"
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
I hope MIUI still uses Samsung ROM as a base and not CM9. Purely for HD codecs i.e. mkv, the video camera and MHL
[Galaxy S II General] :
I agree.
[Galaxy S II General] dboechat:
...and FM radio :)
[Galaxy S II General] nishadh:

Samsung and MIUI is an unbeatable combination....
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
Why has the face unlock feature been removed from the latest builds?
[Galaxy S II General] beren:
i read that siyah kernel is now supporting miui...did anyone try the miuiandroid rom with this kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
Any improvement using siyah?

Any bugs?

Battery life?
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
The latest release is the first time its compatible with MIUI. I don't think two hours is enough to say anything about battery life. But bugs. Haven't come across any yet.
[Galaxy S II General] beren:
thx a lot :D
[Galaxy S II General] TheATHEiST:
Well I'm not sure of the reason but why would you want it anyway? Its completely not fit for purpose so its useless other then been a gimmick.

Example if you want to unlock you simply could show camera a picture of person.
[Galaxy S II General] steslatt:
I can't transfer files through USB when using Siyah. When I connect my computer says failed to install MTP driver. Anyone else get this? Works fine on stock Kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
I hope the MIUI dev's bring us a quality like MIUI gingerbread.

I was so looking forward to MIUI v4, but was disappointed. The current version is nowhere as good as the old ones.

At first I thought that MIUI on Samsung's rom's is a perfect combination too, but I'm not sure about this anymore.

In some places the ugly TouchWiz is still visible, it's buggy (atm) and not as smooth as the old MIUI's. MIUI GB was perfectly combined with CyanogenMod, but MIUI v4 seems like it was slapped on top of TouchWiz. Besides that it's not very stable and I had many crashes/freezes.

Since the camcorder and GPS work on CM9 I'm not sure if it wasn't better to have MIUI on top of it.

Except for the FM-radio there is nothing that's better without CM9.

I'll just wait and hope MIUI v4 will become better. But at the moment:

Stock < CM7 < MIUI v4 < MIUI GB < CM9
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
Of course... i always wear a picture of my friends with me to be able to unlock their phones.....

It was not harmful at all and it was just cool... yet useless...... i give you that....
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Give the AOSP based MIUI a try. It's in Android Development. By AdyScorpius. I found it far better than the official Samsung based.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
I will, but I see no reason to do so right now. CyanogenMod 9 is almost perfectly working right now and MIUI is...well, MIUI. Very unpolished (in the beginning).
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
There is more stuff broken in cm9 based miui than cm9 ?
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
Most likely the case, since CM9 updates VERY fast, compared to MIUI...
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Nope. Everything that works in CM9 works in the AOSP based MIUI. Even video recording which is the latest fix in CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
I meant the official MIUI.

I got my S2 shortly before the first builds from Galnet, which were practically the very first (good) MIUI-builds for the S2. Back then MIUI was based on CM7 and I had the feeling that all the serious problems (battery, temperature, freezes,...) had to be fixed by the CM-team. In between the CM7 nightlies that fixed stuff, there were countless MIUI-updates that did nothing to fix the important things.

Now this is where MIUI v4 comes in. The CM-team works very fast and releases everything in a short time.

Samsung on the other hand may work as fast, but they don't release their updates on a regular basis that is comparable to the CM-team.

That means that, if you have a problem with MIUI v4, it's possible that you'll have to stick with it for a long time, until Samsung decides to roll-out an update again.

The CM9-development looks like this:

-Nightly

-People complain about problems

...few days later (sometimes only one)

-New nightly, problem (most likely) fixed. If not:

...few days later (sometimes only one)

-New nightly

REPEAT

In short:

Based on Samsung's stock-roms we get:

FM-Radio

HW-Codecs (no real argument)

?

But we loose:

The performance gain that CM has over Stock-Roms

The quick updates

As the HW-Codecs don't count as you can just go with the MX Video Player (for example) only the FM-Radio is left.

I'm not sure if that's a price I want to pay... :(

MIUI used to be my favourite rom of all, but MIUI v4

may

fail hard.
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
Yeah but your reply to one that asked you to try cm9 based miui sounded like you misunderstood, i get your point. Personally i cant stand using any ICS version at all right now. If you jump between them some feel really smooth, but when you after a while try gb again...yeah Dat speed
[Galaxy S II General] le_lutin:
You forgot tv-out, which is a dealbreaker for me as it's how I watch all my films/box sets.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
I don't use it so I can't tell you from my experience, but there are people reporting that it does work, as they're using it.
[Galaxy S II General] Knight77:
And what about the Camera ? One of my biggest disappointment of GB miui was the camera and same thing for CM, but Miui V4 using the stock camera and is MUCH better...
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
They use the stock ICS camera-app.

For me that's a good thing and a bad thing.

The only problem is that it lacks features compared to the Samsung one (and I don't know if it'll change).

Maybe it will be extended when the more important stuff is done, but I can't tell right now.
[Galaxy S II General] beren:
how to mount mass storage on last release? mtp and ptp options seems to be not working for me...

i think he's asking for the MIUI OS...

isnt working for me neither...

[Galaxy S II General] le_lutin:
I'll comment on it if you tell me what you're talking about.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Lol, how long the screen is on for before the battery us depleted.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
That would depend on what you're doing with your phone of course. Going to vary for everyone.
[Galaxy S II General] imlgl:
Over 4 hours so far and I have 10% battery left.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
True but the average is fairly accurate.

Cheers bro :)
[Galaxy S II General] imlgl:
That's with 13 hours on battery with texting throughout most of that time.

Good news. No leaving miui now.
[Galaxy S II General] a1exander:
Really good news, I thought they were going to abandon SGSII for a while now like they did when GB MIUI first came out. :)
[Galaxy S II General] ingbrzy:
No fullscreen contact foto during ringing phone ... its sad... Adyscorpius already has it...
[Galaxy S II General] Aincalandorn:
I haven't had a chance to check the thread in the last few days. Has the problem with charging been fixed (Where when in use while charging, the battery levels still dropped)?

Also, to go from Stock GB to Miui, do I just use CWM Recovery to flash the zip or do I have to update to an ICS rom first?
[Galaxy S II General] frewys:
This could be an awesome thread of information if the OP kept the first post updated with all the different MIUI versions out there.
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
I think I'll flash Saturday/Sunday to make sure everthing is working fine. I think this thread should be on offcial miui or it will get too confusing.

IMO theres no need to use CM9 as a base because it cant beat samsungs camera/vid, hd codecs and mhl

Just flash from GB just make sure you do a wipe.
