oh, worst case is, try a different cable... my phone sucks with my gf's htc cord... it freezes during sdcard loading...

Thanks man... I'm trying everything (while trying not to let my woman know that her phone may be a brick...). Each of the 3 cables I am trying recognizes my phone (Galaxy SII)... None are recognizing hers....
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
unfortunately, id say yes... still trying my best to track that demon down... on the build on this phone currently, messages work fine... on the latest build i flashed on the backup epic... messaging doesnt split... no idea why the difference atm... will keep sprinkling holy water and poking thru this...

leave the battery out for a while and try the usb power trick... if you search xda you'll see it (i believe its drop out battery, put in usb, then put in battery and try download mode...)

like i said.. it took me almost an hour to get the freakin phone to recognise or do anything at all... its working now.. .but took so long i was all set to call it boned....
[Epic 4G Android Development] EmperorX:
It's weird... The phone even fails to display the "battery charging" when it is off. It just freezes and doesn't show any green / progress. We were having issues the other day when plugging her phone into a computer... Never had any luck (even with it on... it would not detect or even mount USB storage..)... I really think that it may be a hardware issue. If that is the case... I think I'll need to buy her a new phone (she's not elegible for an upgrade yet, and the stupid woman never put TEP on her phone!!)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
Cool cool. So long as gibberish doesn't get sent to me whether someone sends me a split text, I'll live.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
tap the power button 1 time quick and it may display the usb charging screen

What i did

(step a1. cursing like a sailor and repeatedly smashing my face on the keyboard, but you can skip this step)

1. Go to the Samsung folder in program files and run the uninstall

2. Go Control Panel > add/remove programs and uninstall the samsung drivers from there (I still had a listing even after using the uninstall from the samsung folder above in 1.)

3. Plug the phone back in, in DL mode...

4. My computer registered the device and successfully loaded the drivers for it.

5. Unplug usb from the phone and re-install the samsung drivers (make sure its 64 bit)

6. Re-insert the usb cable on the phone side (should still be in DL mode, but when in doubt, drop the battery out and re-enter DL mode[hard kb 1 and power])
[Epic 4G Android Development] EmperorX:
I get stuck on step 4. When I plug the phone in, literally nothing happens. Windows does not make a noise like something is plugged in, there is nothing under "devices and printers". No unknown hardware. Nothing... I truly think there is some hardware crap going on. I would understand if it plugged in and did not recognize the device itself. But, it literally does not even recognize that something has been plugged in. This is happening on two separate computers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
Nice work guys! After seeing how long it took CM9 and MIUI to implement WiMax, I was wondering what makes it so hard to do? Did you have to write drivers from the ground up or something? I'm asking this question as somebody with no knowledge of programming, so please don't take it as negative in any way.

Sometimes you gotta uninstall drivers then restart the computer but not so sure

WARNING: Best advice ever coming....

Don't root or modify or anything to your girls phone. That is a ticking time bomb and unless you get it the way she had it it or wants it she's gunna explode :). It usually best to keep the girls phones stock. Or buy her a cute iPhone hahaha
[Epic 4G Android Development] EmperorX:
Actually, i've been rooting/tweaking her phone since the day she got it. She loathes stock TW with a passion! She was on the GB version of MIUI ages ago... But she's been on CM9 since the first alpha and pre alpha builds. She was missing MIUI and now that 4G had been incorporated she wanted to go back....

Everything was working great aside from the MMS splling (gibberish) and a couple other small things. I saw this updated build and jumped at the chance... She is going to be out of town for 2 months and needed that to work properly.

Now, it's just F*$#%D!

I am convinced this is a hardware issue. Since she doesn't have TEP and it is def out of it's 1 year warranty I guess she will now just get a new phone and i'll add her to my plan...

Probably the Epic Touch for .01 penny on amazon. Still though, this effing sucks. Very dissapointed. If only I hadn't been the guinea pig for that first upload, things would be working great right now!

I even tried it on a Linux box... The phone literally is not recognized by any OS. It just doesn't see anything even though it charges through USB. Absolutely boned!
[Epic 4G Android Development] electronicmaji:
I think the themes not working might have had something to do with the Shadow kernel I installed as Super User ceased to function correctly too so I reflashed the main rom and am testing.

Also the themes issues i was having were with the Font and the Boot logo themes.

Media folder are Read only, but I dont see an options in ES file explorer to change that

Thank you for bringing me back to miui
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeks:
On regular usage (for me during work) my battery life seems to drain to about 20-30% where when I was on CleanGB it was around 40-50% at the end of the day. Will keep running with this and testing. Flashing the updated zip in a minute.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RickyRage:
It happened as soon as it did its first boot up :( is it shadowkernel tho? I need to know so i can report it in that thread
[Epic 4G Android Development] xeks:
It's a known issue with custom kernels. You just have to use Voodoo Control to turn down your settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RickyRage:
Ok cool, thanks

EDIT: OK the fix to this isn't changing the voodoo settings, its turning auto brightness off

EDIT 2: ROM is really smooth btw
[Epic 4G Android Development] RickyRage:
Is this just an alternate window as opposed to miui.us?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RickyRage:

[Epic 4G Android Development] xeks:
Incorrect, if you edit some of the settings in Voodoo, it will allow you to have the lowest dim setting (thus having auto-brightness working) and not be green.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
you need to press and hold on the item you wish to modify then scroll down to properties(assuming you enabled the root options)... to get the bootanimations to work the bootanimation in /system/media/bootanimation.zip must be read/write

The new zip installer comes with two cameras, can we take one out for the future?

Edit: Not sure how I feel about the new boot animation, lol. Do I have options? :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
For awhile, that was the question. On ics its much easier and the nexus guy essentially followed the cm commits and it worked. First we have to throw in all the wimax libs, apks, firmware, and etc files, and reference wimax in build prop. Then we unpack system/framework-res.APK and point to those files in the WiMax strings and repack. Then we unpack framework.jar and throw in the WiMax files there and repack. So now that we know what to do, its not too bad, but figuring it out was.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Battery out?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
So one dl is with new kernel. Which one is it? Since SMS >160 is in works along with camera color effects, can I just install that new kernel? If that's better with battery. If I want to go to fc09. Is there a zip for mtd? Or only Odin way. Will you be working on 1x 3g signal bars? While at it can you also fix Sprint coverage as well? :D

To update the modem, i believe odin is the only way atm...

if you wish to use the new kernel, you must use the zip with it in there... there are a few other pieces you will need from that zip...

as far as the sprint coverage... i recommend making a foil hat in the shape of a satellite dish and pointing it due west (then take a photo and post it here)... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Yup, the green screen from voodoo colors gamma setting.......happens when the device is in a low light setting, + can be alleviated by changing the gamma settings using Voodoo Control............if you're flashing ShadowKernel, you should already have Voodoo Control (aka Voodoo Sound in Play Store) installed. Also, bbelos has provided a complete synopsis of green screen on OP of his thread, so no need to report as it is an old symptom of voodoo color in the kernel.

[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
You can also update your modem using a delta modem update ZIP file..........for example, if you're running EL30 you can flash the modem delta EL30-to-FC09 update zip, this doesn't change your setup whatsoever other than to update the modem to FC09........you have to use the temp-kexec-BML-CWM utility from the CM blog in order to do this; once done w/ update it boots you right back to your prior MIUI setup. Only way to update modem w/out using ODIN ;)

*edit: sorry 'bout dbl post. :( actually, this utility is right here in development: [recovery][bml][mtd]cwm bml from sdcard.

[Epic 4G Android Development] lmsomb:
Or use odin to simply flash the modem and not the whole rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Any ICS kernel however I recommend staying with the one that came with it. It might contain certain fixes that are needed. You can find several in Android development. Anything that says its for ICS and you might wanna confirm that it is for ics before you flash.

Here is one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1589762

I swapped the one from CM9. The whole not 100MHZ fix thing is a real bleh.

It works great. Better than the one included.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
... 100mhz makes the keyboard lag... I've gotten it to stick in samurai but it ruins the hardware keyboard response time. So 200 is perfect. Especially if the voltage is the same as the 100 step what's the difference?
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Because both voltages aren't the same. And if you don't have both undervolted then you're missing out on battery savings.

And if you do make both the same then what's the difference? If the keyboard is lagging because of the step, I'm sure it's fixable.

Do you have Sprint Visual Voicemail installed, even though you don't use it?

I didn't install it, but it does appear to be there. It shouldn't have been in GAPPS or the ROM, correct?

Thanks. I guess I need to remove that? "Unable to remove system application." Crap.

I was able to go into Settings and force it to stop, disable and clear data. If that will persist after a reboot, I'll be fine, I hope.

Has anyone tried out Nyan Colonel v4.3 with the latest MIUIv4 build? Just curious as to the comparison versus Shadowkernel.

It was included in the latest MIUIv4 release with all the fixes. It should have removed any SMS you get for VMs at least through using Sprint. As for Google Voice, I'm not sure. :(

When WiFi is on and connected, I still show 1x Data active and the 3G Data indicator shows zero. When I disconnect WiFi, I see the 4G indicator and it appears accurate, but when in my house, I don't get much of a 4G signal. Will check that out later today.

Both cameras appear to be working- but I do see the red indicating that there is no autofocus lock. It is focusing though... not at 100%. Some close images are a little fuzzy.

Live wallpaper works fine, although I didn't keep it on long- want to get a realistic idea of batter use.

Phone didn't wake after stopping music using the music player on the lockscreen. Had to battery pull. Only thing I've really changed is setting CFQ to Noop, will revert and give it another go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
The 3G and 1X is upstream. IDK if it's intentional or not, but its on all the other MIUI ROMs at the moment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Normal, non-internet phone calls cannot go through wifi, so the cellular antenna must remain active for you to receive calls (among other things) while connected to wifi. 4G and wifi cannot be used together, so one turns off while the other is connected (wifi takes precedence). But as soon as wifi is turned off, if you left 4G on, then it will reactivate.

So in summary, you see a cellular connection with wifi because such a connection must remain active. You see the 1x because that is the voice call connection (you only need one data connection - 3G, 4G or wifi). The 1x icon and the 3G icon are one and the same, which is why you see the 3G icon while using wifi - 3G isn't active, but there is no way to display half of an icon (well, it can be done, but that's just more code and more convolution). Does that make sense?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
On most roms it only displays one or the other though and it used to be the same on miui too.

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
That's what I thought. I was just reporting. I had seen it before, but hadn't seen the report here.

Was just out for a while and the 4G reception was great.

Only thing that was curious was when I tried to download anything, I kept getting these warnings that the file was too large and would drain my battery, yada yada. But the file downloads with 4G were almost as fast as WiFi. The warning was obviously not meant for use when using a 4G network. Probably just shows up for anything other than WiFi. I don't mind it being over-cautious. :D

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Not really. I'm pretty sure that the 3G part of the icon isn't working. It never shows anything, no matter what antenna I've got turned on. And I know I get a very good 3G signal around here [remember EVDO?].

You mean to say that displaying 1x activity with wifi is less accurate than no activity other than wifi? Only if you can't make or receive calls while connected to wifi...

As for the 3G icon not working, this is beginning to seem like a viable explanation:

I noticed that "network name" under phone status (about phone->phone status) says "Unknown" instead of the usual "Sprint" seen in, for example, CM7... perhaps the data settings aren't right (3G settings are separate from 4G settings, so it perfectly plausible that 4G works while 3G doesn't), resulting in non-4G mobile data traffic relying on the 1x connection

EDIT: to clarify, even if 3G is working but the icon isn't, it -is- still more accurate, because it shows what really happens - a wifi connection and a 1x connection. The fact that 3G activity doesn't show when it -is- active is a separate issue that just happens to have no impact on the wifi signal display accuracy, because there -shouldn't- be 3G activity on wifi - does that make sense?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lmsomb:
he is clearly stating that the 3g part of the icon doesn't display any activity
