[Galaxy S II General] kamz999:
Facing the same issue as you... even when profile is set to battery in CWM recovery-> kernel specific options...
[Galaxy S II General] kyleforge:
That's just for MIUI GB people to look like v4
[Galaxy S II General] AshleyTayles:
No its not? What are you talking about? It's an MIUI V4 version of the Velluxium project. It just happens that some elements can be used in MIUI GB.
[Galaxy S II General] ArtoD2:
I'm wondering, why the people on MIUI Scotland or from MIUIAndroid do not post on the changelog what they have done to modify the ROM... If it's just branding, then put it there on the changelog.
[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
Have to agree with this... they used to make quite a few modifications. Hoping for more from them this Friday when the next release cones out. This release is working well though.
[Galaxy S II General] beren:
is there any fix to usb mass storage mount? in early miui V4 it was working...

i can only mount it in cwm..

tip: if you are experiencing battery drain with miui+siyah kernel it's a kernel problem ;)
[Galaxy S II General] kyleforge:
I mean a theme that changes the look of the phone, not just add more icons. I am asking about themes that change status bar, mms, etc.
[Galaxy S II General] raghavafitt:
In this miui v4

Is their network viedo calling???????
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
So anyone tried the galnet version?
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
I'd try it if i could get on to the site. Still isn't working for me. They suggested on their Fb page to reset your internet connection which i have done a number of times but still got nothing. Don't think i am alone with this problem.
[Galaxy S II General] -ix-:
Maybe this is a stupid question or had been asked before: is it somehow possible to just extract the theme for this ROM and apply to any stock-based ROM?
[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
yeah on Galnet MIUI + Siyah and the battery drain is quite simply incredible.

With very light use, from 6:30AM to 7PM, I had 35% battery left with 1hr 30mins screen on time. Almost whole day was on standby pretty much.

Does the latest ICS NEAK kernel work with the latest Galnet MIUI?

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

I can understand why you would ask, but MIUI is a modification of the entire framework as well as the normal kind of theming. Someone would have to do a stock ICS framework based theme from scratch. To my knowledge, this theme is in no way transferable to non-MIUI ROMs.

Hope this helps. I've wanted someone to do a non-MIUI MIUI theme for some time. There is one for CheckRom V6, (Dark MIUI) but it just isn't quite as sexy as MIUI itself.
[Galaxy S II General] -ix-:
Thanks for a great reply!

Explains alot.
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
With the recent releases if ics firmware by Samsung, do the developers have all they need now to develop fully featured stable roms or are we still waiting for some kind of source code release?

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] mxn-:
Themes work yet in v4?
[Galaxy S II General] MasterTB:
No, they don't.

Running MIUI UK here and themes aply partially. You can change Locscreen, wallpapers, icons but the framework stays the same, No statusbar changes (shape, color, icons, etc) also no apps theming (sms, dialer, people, etc).

But from what I saw on twitter support is coming.

---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 AM ----------

I know every one at miuiandroid is complaining about play store returning to market after a reboot (looses the update to play store) but I'm having another problem also.

I can't seem to be able to install apps directly from the web.

I go to the play store on my browser, log in, choose an app, tell it to install it on my phone and nothing happens, also, if I open the play store on the phone while doing this -to check on the download- it crashes.

I has happened to me several times and it is always the same.

This is a REALLY BIG BUG that needs fixing.
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
Heres the rom link http://miuiscotland.co.uk/site/download/v4_roms/miuiscotland_I9100-2.4.16-V4.zip

I was able to change my icons including camera, sms dialer
[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
Abit of twitter beef going on between galnet and miuiandroid at the moment..
[Galaxy S II General] adamski123:
So let me get this straight. Their are two MIUI samsung based roms right?

The official MIUI which is here:http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/miui-rom-2-4-13-ics-gb.16162/

And the Galnet MIUI build? of which i cannot find.

Also, in ur opinion which one is better? :)

thanks

Adam.
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
Not surprising, that douche mark from miuiandroid starts on everyone who tries to do English port or their own port. He once tried to sell miui weather/translatations but when I confronted him, he deleted those posts then later banned me
[Galaxy S II General] ArtoD2:
No, there are **** loads of MIUI releases, that are all based on Official MIUI from China, http://en.miui.com/

[Galaxy S II General] tipu2185:
Can anyone kindly tell me if icons theme can be applied with any alternate launcher. I dont like iphonish MIUI launcher.
[Galaxy S II General] ars_92:
Miui themes can only be used with the miui launcher. Even if it does work, its not gonna look the way its meant to be.
[Galaxy S II General] :
It works on zeam. You apply the theme first on miui launcher and then set zeam as default.
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
Ha! Didnt know that, that is ace. thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] imlgl:
Anyone been looking at miui android twitter. Looks like galnet have been stealing stuff from them and now miuiandroid are contacting their legal representatives.
[Galaxy S II General] ArtoD2:
What there is to steal?
[Galaxy S II General] imlgl:
Direct quote from twitter:

"there is a license covering my XML modifications, he has breached this license I am speaking to Legal advisor now."
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
Oh the lovely benefits of open source
[Galaxy S II General] ArtoD2:
So theres some ultra-fancy-pancy XML mambo jambo on MIUIAndroid releases, that is licensed and Scotland yard has used it without their knowledge... oh the drama.

As from User point of view, how dramatic thing this is? I'm not trying to be too sarcastic or undermine someones work done so that I get the best ROM I could imagine, but I would like to know how serious issue this is? As far as I can see based on flashing all the MIUI releases there is next to null differences between releases... only some translations or cosmetic stuff...
[Galaxy S II General] hussainmushahid:
why don't apps like audiomanager work with this ROM ? can't seem to increase system volume from 2 to 7.
[Galaxy S II General] kyleforge:
That's true mate but from the developer's perspective, if you put alot of time and effort into decompiling, modifying xml and recompiling, signing etc you'd at least want credit for your work. I used MIUIandroid on my Nexus One and won't use a different version of MIUI on my S2 :-)
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Wow. Just wow.

I'm just happy not everyone is like him. MIUI is build with stolen code, he takes that, adds some tweaks and goes that far when someone else steals "his work".

I mean seriously, the MIUI team has stolen CODE from the CyanogenMod team. Code, not some xml tweaks, and they didn't react nearly as pissed.

I'd understand him if he did some serious development, but MIUI is closed source and therefore he can't.

And saying "Xml modifications = serious development", is like saying "script kiddy = hacker".

It's bs, no matter how much time and effort you put into it.

I'm not trying to say he's a noob or offend him. I appreciate his work, but he's overacting IMO.

And that shows that MIUI is bad for the community (from the developers perspective). Linux is open source, Android is open source, CyanogenMod and other custom roms are. If MIUI was too, those "developers" might share, give credit and wouldn't have such a huge ego...(just my opinion again.)

[Galaxy S II General] rustyguy:
Well I decided to try out the MIUIScotland rom

samsung base, so its got the samsung camera which I like, it also has FM radio, and comes with an unusable market instead of the play store.

Other than these changes, coming from ady's rom (based on AOSP) it does everything the same, but slower. Phone seems laggy almost.

Downside to Ady's rom is that I seem to get random reboots.

Anyone else care to compare their experiences with different MIUI builds. I like MIUI but I'm not super sold on any particular rom yet.
[Galaxy S II General] busterdev:
tried alot of miui v4 roms and there all about same. some with few and some with a lot of bugs.

bottom line - stay on gb miui for now if you like the miui experience

and just wait it out till its do able or take it for granted and live with bugs

i for one have lost interest for now. Bugs totally take the feeling away and will only take a swing at it again when theming fully works. that is the main reason to go miui anyways

just look at miuiandroids buglist for example. bugs reported from 3 weeks ago or more (sms fc) are still in

at this pace it certainly will take a while. miui china doesnt give much for overseas bugfixes as my guess is they are going to add new stuff first and put the lesser bugs on the backburner
[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
He's only asking to be credited for his work though. He's not asking for payment. He's saying dont take my work and pass it off as your work. credit my involvement and you can add yours. he's not saying dont use the ROM.

Hi guys thinking of flashing a miui gb rom. Which one would u guys consider the best? Official miui?

Thanks

Adam :)
[Galaxy S II General] brainimpact:
the guy is a complete idiot, I guarantee MIUI is breaching various licenses so no good anyone of them crying when karma bites them back.

as for speaking to legal advisor he thought using scare tactics were clever LOL he posted the below tweet hours after he said that and as since got into a twitter fight with MIUI US. The guy is not very respected by his peers from what I've seen.

"Anyone working in Legal IP please contact me - need some legal assistance to exposure a copyright infringer ASAP"
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
Looks like so much bull****, what happened if Samsung behaved that way also. They would be like "open source dude come on!," although I don't have so much knowledge about what exactly open source is or is not... It feels like they are doing the opposite of what makes them even able to create the stuff they do
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
What version of Samsung is the latest official miui? Someone knows?
[Galaxy S II General] jankhner:

[Galaxy S II General] goTouch:
I need a suggestion from someone who is using miui v4 since the beginning. Has been a long time that I do not use MIUI and I would like to know what is the best distribution for MIUI v4.

I heard a lot about MIUI Scotland, MIUI Android and WIUI. Each of them has its own benefits:

MIUI Android: every friday they release a new version based on CN Miui with everything translated to english.

MIUI Scotland: I heard that they release the MIUI Android version with a few tweaks and corrections. They release as faster as MIUI Android;

WIUI: Very stable ROM with a lot of languages but they take a little bit longer to release the latest version of miui.

I would like to stay at the latest version as soon as miui China releases it but I would also like a very stable ROM.

Which one do I stick with?

Thx
[Galaxy S II General] kamz999:
Different people.....different opinion,,,

been using MIUIAndroid and MIUIScotland(Galnet) for about 6 Months...

i'd say go for MIUIAndroid if u cant wait and wanna flash every friday (drawbacks : might be buggy which they'll rectify in few hrs or max 1 day)...

go for Scotland if u want additional features(drawbacks : be prepared to wait longer. last MIUIAndroid release was on 13th Apr Scotlands release was 16th Apr) MIUIAndroid 20th apr build is out but still waiting for Scotland.)

No idea about WIUI though. :(

I'm currently running miui Scotland, I hear miui android doesn't come with Google apps, if this isn't true I may load that up now, otherwise I'll wait for Scotland release.
[Galaxy S II General] kamz999:
he didnt ask for asnet... :)
[Galaxy S II General] ingbrzy:
Galnet "version" will be more delayed this week because of miuiandroid implement "bomb" to the XML for Kangers as Galnet....
[Galaxy S II General] rustyguy:

So far so good...MIUIScotland 2.4.20 is quite nice... but very similar to MIUIAndroid's... no real winner here....

[Galaxy S II General] nurkruste:
What's the difference between the MIUI ICS Roms by MIUIAndroid and MIUIScotland? I noticed MIUIScotland has made some fixes on it's own but are there any noticeable differences? I.e. is one preferable over the other?
[Galaxy S II General] kierlo:
Yesterday I installed miui v4 2.4.20. It's not stable enoughe for daily use, (4 spontaneous reboots in 10 hrs), battery does not last long.. The interface is pretty laggy. I used default kernel, though.

CM9 is much more stable for me now.
[Galaxy S II General] nurkruste:
I'm on the same version and default kernel, too, and although there were some crashes I wouldn't say it is not useable as a daily. I didn't experience any lags and my battery is quite good.

Beginning with a full charge I'm on 72% after 18.5 hours. Much stand-by to be sure but also some surfing and fiddling around with the settings.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
It's simple guys. For MIUI v4 you have two choices (up to date choices):

MIUIAndroid or MIUIscotland. What's the difference? Virtually, nothing. They are both simply a translation of the original MIUI china ROM, with tiny little "tweaks" as they call it, which really aren't noticeable at all, with their "own" (aka, changed pictures) stats app and About Phone settings.

Both of these are apparently at war with each other over translations, which is completely ridiculous, but the fact of the matter is that both of them are just cooks with a vague knowledge of coding enabling them to make tedious "patches" which really change basically nothing of the overall user experience of the ROM.

And that's how it is, so it really does not matter one bit which one you pick, they are both based on the MIUI china rom, and they both have "developers" which spend more time bickering with each other over who stole who's translation than actually fixing bugs and developing features.

So there you have it, if you want MIUI v4, it doesn't matter which one you pick, they are both basically the same ROM, even if they bicker constantly over whose ROM is better.
[Galaxy S II General] cez10:
thanks man :)

btw does custom DPI work with miui?
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Yes but only if you set it manually. Using an application will get you stuck on the boot screen.
[Galaxy S II General] kamz999:
even MIUIScotland's 2.4.21 has no real fixes. Reboots all d time...in Music...

and camera crashes way 2 often...only the theme has changed...

m2smoe is dead right.... MIUIAndroid's and MIUIScotland's so called "developers" are in reality just translators...translating from chinese to english... and the forgettable twitter war between them was like little girls fighting...

but credit should be given where it's due... I love MIUI too much to stop using it.... but still ...
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
Exactly right, but right credit, these guys pass off for developers but they're not. I also dig MIUI but this whole war is bull****. Do you realize that if those guys actually worked together we might have a properly translated, bug free ROM with proper development? They spend more time fighting over petty crap than they do working on the ROMs...
