quick ?,

when flashing your rom, if i wanted to remove some apps from your rom before flashing, is it as simple as removing them from the .zip ?

ie i have no use for apex launcher (and im sure there are others)...and would rather remove it.

I use launcher pro, so i have no use for it....

not that im running out of space, i just like to keep things neat.

as always thanks for all your hard work

peace

I started off just like you guys. Not that long ago. Remember skinny?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Skinny was the best of the blur roms IMO. Loved that rom...but the pull of ICS was too strong :)

I'm definitely not down on myself at all...just recognizing that I have work to do to get better is all. Today marks 2 weeks that I have been doing actual rom work...before that was all simple flash stuff. I'm happy with my progress, considering we've got a good product with just a few bugs (but that's what keeps ya interested in working on the rom)....and enjoying it all :)

Thanks for the great base to build on Joker, and for your help
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
So I've only been on the latest build so far for about 20 minutes, but so far so good. I haven't had a drastic drain yet, and I have been playing draw something and downloading some apps from the market. Battery is kinda warm, but not extremely heated up like last time. I applied the EMMC fix, but it didn't make it the primary storage unless I'm missing a step. What it did do is now the music app recognizes my songs on my internal storage. Only problem as I can see is that when I try to go into dev options it force closes, but thats no big deal. It runs really smooth, and hopefully I have no major problems so I never have to leave it again lol.

Can't wait till I can be a part of the team and help. Thanks you guys for everything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
hey bud if your flashing and reporting you kind of already are...LOL all this stuff is open man if you have ideas or fixes its all welcomed and appreciated at anytime ANY of you guys can send bill or myself a pm and we will always get back in touch with you and if you make a find it gets added send you get credited no matter how big or small we're no credit hogs...lol

That patch i sent you is a framework patch. Not sure if you were able to use it or not....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok Guys...did some more digging in the framework. Got a few more tweaks in here.

Transitions should be smoother between frames/screens, as well as to and from landscape. Battery life should be maybe a little improved (at 50% after over 11 hours...) As with the others, this is a flashable zip. Enjoy :)

Ok everyone...I'm going to be unavailable until around 7 or so tonight....taking my 8 year old on a daddy and I day....she's an unbelievably special little person.

I will be back on here tonight working on 2.3.30. Be aware that it might not drop until tomorrow sometime, as with all the changes, I want to test it first to make sure it's good before I release something half-assed. :D

For now, test the hell out of 2.3.23....add the latest framework fix. Let me know your impressions.

I will check in from time to time on here today, but won't be working on the rom until after 7.

Have a great day everyone! :)

So here is my update on battery life. So far its been great compared to the results I had last build. There was no random battery drop like last time except once, and my battery did not heat up once. I did have one random freeze when I was changing songs through the lock screen for the stock music player. I had a couple of force closes while being on facebook in the browser, but for the most part every other site was fine.

For some reason I never have the best luck with battery life on any rom, so 34% at 8 hours is pretty good for me.

hey again i found something small i fig i'd share that doesnt seem related to 2d issues in games or ne thing i can think of off the top of my head... rom toolbox pro works great with jokers cm9 and worked pretty well on this prior to this update i believe (i didnt try on previous update as i used titanium on the first official miui update and beyond). but i tried to open it bc im having trouble using mybackup pro to freeze things so i fig i'd use rom toolbox pro. as soon as it opens it freezes for a sec then shuts down. no FC error or ne thing just shuts down kind of like chrome does. not sure what causes it, and if no fix can b found idc really just fig i'd mention it! ps has ne one noticed keyboard lag when plugged in... does it semi often for me... its pretty on and off and doesnt really hinder me... just wasnt sure if i was the only one lol.

and again this rom is so great love the look of miui and smoothness and speed is great.. jokers seemed to run a tad faster, but who really cares lol. Rom is great and super fun to mess with. think xda needs to leave the thanks idea and go to 2 thumbs up, cause this is deserving of more than just a thanks lol!!

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What rom did you come from? Is it a "clean" install, or did you just wipe cache and dalvik and flash from another rom? If you're coming from cm7 or cm9 or a blur based rom, you really need to flash this clean, meaning wipe /system, /cache, and /data. That way, you're sure there aren't any bits left over from another rom interfering with this one.

Also, camera at this time works reliably only in landscape mode.

Not sure what you meant by previous question "a less not working"...?

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

We're still hoping that things will get fixed there. Not sure what exactly happened. Just "poof". Oh well. Either way, we will continue to move forward with this Rom. :)

Wow you guys are good. Just for fun tried my hand at porting. Tried porting 2.3.30 couldn't get it to boot. So finally tried porting the atrix 2.3.23 got it to boot, but thats about it. No service, fc on setup. Fun to try, but over my head so far. Been running the turl port since release. Flashed latest update from Th3bill. Everything running great. Battery life great. Can't imagine going back to gingerbread.:D

You should invest in that dmesg/logcat boot animation app by chainfire. Could help a ton

I actually have the logcat for the boot (gotta love DDMS in Eclipse). I'm getting a Fatal Signal 4 (SIGILL) at 0x4016832a (code=1). Saw this in another forum and person fixed by doing complete wipe of system, data, cache. I'm gonna see if flashing this beast after wiping everything works.

APN editing is back

Dual signal bars gone

Stopwatch pretty cool

[Motorola Photon 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Watch how far ya dig into that with it being 4.0.4 and we are in 4.0.3. Who knows what the hell is compatible and what isnt? Well, if and when something doesnt fit coming from NS, ya know where to start :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Actually, it's still 4.0.3. I checked the build.prop before I started. If it WASN'T, I was going to mix the libs for camera from 0.4.1 joker (current base) with 0.4.3 and build off that. I'm going to wait till they go 4.0.4 to start with 0.4.3 as my base :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
hmmm, thats weird cause according to MIUI China, they are 4.0.4 for Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S as of Friday. Are you looking at an official build? Or maybe on Friday when they announced it, they started their updates for next release.

i wanna try to asking or rather submitting a bug.. i think..=.=a..

i can't download anything from google play.. but in browser, i can browse..

is that already been submitted??

i'm using latest MIUI 3-27
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hmmm...what app is it that you are trying to download? Sometimes it will bork if you're only downloading one for some reason. Also, you might want to go into the drawer on the main "desktop" and select the "downloads" app. Then hit the menu button, select settings, then either change the limit to higher than 1mb or turn off the limit alltogether.

EDIT

Most likely a non-issue as 2.3.30 will drop sometime this evening (I'm working on a couple things), and I just downloaded 4 apps from market no problem on it...including the xda one, which always seemed the most difficult to get to download over "data" (non-wifi)
[Motorola Photon 4G] SquaDrive:
oh.. is that so??.. i'm sorry.. i haven't try that method..

i'll try it then report it later..:)

EDIT::

i've already increase the number to 10M..

but still there's an error says could not be downloaded due to an error (403)..

i already try to download many apps with that error..

hmm..

it's just my thought.. do i need to install gapps after installing this MIUI?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did you edit any of your apns? Was this a clean install of 2.3.23, or did you flash over the top of another rom?

Don't do gapps over the top of this...already has most of them installed

Try going to system settings, apps, all apps, force stop it, clear data, then reopen the app.

If that doesn't work, go into the account info in google play, clear it out, reboot, then re-setup the account...if not, it could be a problem with google play...I've done some searching around, and it seems like more than just a couple phone models or roms are having this issue...

[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Huh weird how it made it into my ROM maybe titanium backup restored an old copy.

Anyway to actually do those things? If not tell me how I can change it the carrier text.. Please
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
To change carrier text, you need to follow the instructions in the "how to edit your framework-res.apk" I put on a separate thread of "How-Tos" on this forum. You need to decompile the framework-res.apk. In the xml folder, you will edit your eri.xml. Find the line that corresponds to what your current carrier text is, and change it to whatever you like. Then save, recompile your apk, extract the eri.xml from the freshly compiled apk and place it into your original apk overwriting the existing eri.xml. Then either adb push or use the flashable cwm I placed in that thread to flash it to your computer in cwm.

What did you want it to say? I think I have something like Kick Ass MoPho in 2.3.23...changed it to MIUI MoPho for 2.3.30...figured that was less offensive.

That apk made it into the rom because we continually hope that MIUI will fix the settings so that it WILL work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Thanks man your awesome! I love the ROM other than the contacts FC's at first it's ran perfect.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SquaDrive:

Yes, because technically that app isnt for MIUIv4. None of those features work for MIUIv4. That app was developed for Andy's MIUI Extended Settings for MIUI GB. Not exactly sure why we are including it MIUIv4, i'll have to ask Spleef.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I had thought you thought it would work on this at some point. I'll remove it. I'm doing the bulk of the build for MIUI now, so that spleef can get bugs worked out of CM9. This build WILL drop tonight. I just can't put up link to dropbox for the volume of downloads we'll have.

About to leave work...gonna go home, eat some dinner, and upload 2.3.30, so by 6, I should have it uploaded, linked, and ready to go.

[Motorola Photon 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
It most likely will, BUT not any time soon. When he developed the mod, it came in stages :

Remove clock or move it to the center

switch the battery, signal, and data icons to the other side of the status bar

and so on

Right now for MIUIv4 : Stage ? (hasnt even been discussed)

Because MIUI decided to change the framework almost every dam week with MIUI GB, Andy had to update the mod almost every week. Very few times were we able to use the same mod build 2 weeks in a row.

Anyway, with all the work that was put into the mod, it worked flawlessly. Then ICS comes out and not only does he have to start back at square 1, but square 1 @ 10x harder to the 10th power. At least seems that way. I am sure Andy has started working on this for MIUIv4 but nothing has been released yet. He uses a Galaxy S which didnt get MIUIv4 right away to begin with.

Sooooo, bottom line, i would pull it until i start seeing some activity and it can actually be used for something...
