Well firstly, i have more knowledge in Sense roms, so i firstly dont know what MIUI even means, but ive seen quite a lot and heard their battery life make sense roms look quite terible.

Anyways, i was looking for a very stable, fast, fully functioning, nice battery life and feel, MIUI rom.. anyone have some suggestions? Getting bored or sense.
[EVO 4G General] disazter380:
Miui 1.12.9 has been pretty stable for me. The only issues i have is the front camera not working (i believe that's the case with all aosp roms) and text messages over 160 characters won't split and send, so u have to break them down manually. Besides that Miui is, in my opinion, the best rom I've tried.

[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
You need to get caught up.

MIUI 2.3.2 is the most stable. There is a 2.3.9, but I haven't tried it yet, nor seen much about it, but 2.3.2 (actual version is 2.3.2_b1 es) is very very stable. No issues at all. None.

You have to do the sense GPS fix (or one of the GPS fixes) before you flash it and if you read my guide, in my signature, you'll get a good walk through on how to flash it, DT A2SD, the kernel (Tiamat 3.3.7 or 4.1.0), etc.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
What he said. I'm running basically the exact same setup, and it runs flawlessly. There's a lot of theming capabilities, plus it's easy to create your own themes, so it looks great too.

I tried MIUI because I was bored with regular AOSP. I thought about trying Sense but it wasn't my thing so I tried out MIUI. I've ran it almost exclusively for a year now. Swiper's build is great, get the ES version and you get the extended settings mod built in.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Hey Jane, you should try DianXin out. I've been running it for a week now.
[EVO 4G General] guih:
I've been wanting to try it, how do you like it? Any noticeable issues?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
The ONLY issue is that the only text app that really works is the native, but it's having probs with pics. If you have Go SMS, et al, even turning notifications off in the native, they still come in on the native and on Go SMS... twice, so I just froze Go SMS until I need to d/l a pic. Other than that, it's smooth. Comes with some great native apps and the best battery utility I ever saw. Options everywhere!

[Kindle Fire Accessories] kinfauns:
I'm a little surprised nobody has mentioned the factory cable in the accessories section. For anybody doing anything more than using the Kindle Fire in the stock configuration, I think the factory cable is a must-have accessory. It makes so many tasks so much simpler to perform. Getting out of bootloops, flashing a ROM for the first time, or unbricking... they all get reduced to at most 2 or 3 steps... all without any need to troubleshoot. If everybody had a factory cable (and knew how to use it) before they started tinkering with their device, the general section wouldn't be packed full of help requests.

For those who are unfamiliar with the factory cable, it's a special USB cable that will put the Kindle Fire directly into fastboot mode when it starts up. This is important because the hardest part of fixing most problems on the Kindle Fire is first getting the device into fastboot mode. Even in the worst bricking incidents... if you have any working bootloader, use the factory cable to get into fastboot, flash a new bootloader/recovery/ROM, reboot and the thing is fixed. The less familiar you are with how all of this stuff works, the more useful the factory cable will be in your toolbox.

You can make your own from a generic USB cable if you have a soldering iron and some time. I personally could have gone the DIY route, but I decided to purchase one from a fellow XDA member. He makes them himself and really takes pride in the quality of his products.

It's saved me once and been a great timesaver in many other instances.

Sorry

I have my Kindle in fastboot mode

[Kindle Fire Accessories] Cheshire.Love:
Awesome thread to start. I believe the maker is out of stock until April 16 in his updated post.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] mistaanime:
aww really? i was just going to PM him and buy one! He is selling out fast!
[Kindle Fire Accessories] kinfauns:
He said he ran out of parts to produce more and was waiting on supplies. He also said in a different thread that he was in the middle of a move, so I guess he's trying to get everything in order before starting up again. No reason you couldn't send him a PM anyway and get in line.. I'm sure it will be anytime now.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] mistaanime:
heh yea.. i Pmed him i think....I send the pms but I don't think they are going through. kinda weird because when i check my inbox. it doesn't even show sent messages. so i dunno.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] kinfauns:
By default, outgoing PMs are not saved to the sent box. You either have to check the box down at the bottom for every message you send, or there's a setting you can change somewhere in your profile.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] rasheemo:
Why wait? They sell the same cable for 6 dollars cheaper on ebay.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] kinfauns:
I'm not trying to be a cheerleader for SkOrPn's products, but for one thing, the eBay listing quotes 20-25 days before delivery. Even with SkOrPn's production delays, I'm guessing you'd get his before you get that delivery from Hong Kong.

However, the more important point here is that numerous XDA members have vouched for his product quality and customer service. If for some reason that cable from China doesn't work out, you'd be sitting on your hands waiting for it to get shipped back (likely at your expense) before they'd send you a replacement, or fronting another $9 in the hopes that the next one works. I had a similar experience with another gadget I ordered from China and not having it work. Other users in the KF forums have noted that SkOrPn has gone out of his way to make sure you are happy with your purchase.

Of course, how you spend your money is entirely up to you, but if I was in the market for one and I was given the choice, I think I would choose to spend the extra $6 for the peace of mind and insurance against potential frustration... to each his own.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] rasheemo:
Received my cable yesterday (ordered it when I made that post on the 11th of April). Works perfectly well.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] akalostangel:
Thank you for starting this post. I've been seeing "factory cable" everywhere on this forum and didn't have a clue what they were talking about. I just figured it meant I had to buy a cable - not that what the cable itself does is special!

Glad I used the search feature, finally, to find this out.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] AluminumHaste:
Yup, I just ordered one, 9.99$, 1.50$ shipping to Canada. It may take a while but it's cheap. Cheap enough to take the risk. The alternative is 47$ for the 3ft cable. The ebay one is only 2.5 ft, but that's better then the 1.5ft one.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] akalostangel:
Can someone look at this and tell me if the cable included with this deal is a "factory cable"?

[Kindle Fire Accessories] kinfauns:
No, it is not.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] akalostangel:
Thank you. I wasn't sure because it said "sync/charge" cable, not just cable. Glad I asked so I won't waste my $$$.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Kamakookie:
I highly recommend buying the cable from SkOrPn. I bricked my KF and was too impatient to wait for the cable from China off of ebay, so when I ran across these forums I immediately ordered one from him. Ordered on Monday and had it by Thursday. It doesnt look homemade and worked great. Thanks SkOrpN!
[Kindle Fire Accessories] p4trykx:
I also bricked my Kindle during rooting. Using TWRP I accidentally wiped the system after I installed stock firmware so there was only stock bootloader. I had a cable that I purchased form DealExtreme it turned out that the plug can be easily opened so one can solder the 4-th pin to +5V.

If someone is willing to wait few weeks for the delivery this is the link for a cheap cable that can be easly modded to be a factory cable.

I can't post a link but do to deal extreme and search for sku 48924
[Kindle Fire Accessories] SkOrPn:
Who in the heck is selling them for $47? Wow thats insanely expensive for a limited use cable.

Your very much welcome.... The ONLY real difference between mine and the ones from China is I actually test mine (three times during build) and the chinese slave labor do not bother testing because they know there is only a 10% chance of shipping a bad one. Why spend money on testing equipment and more slaves?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Zachintosh:
USB booting is easier than going and buying a factory cable IMO. I did it yesterday and it was much better than buying a cable and waiting for it to come in the mail.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] kinfauns:
Well, you're certainly entitled to that opinion, but from what I've seen on this forum, it's not one that's likely to be shared by most users. For most people, having to open up the case, risk damage to the device, and violate the terms of warranty is going to be beyond their comfort level. Besides, my suggestion is to have one around in case something goes bad, not order one after the fact. Just as people use a case to protect it before accidents occur, having a factory cable shouldn't be all that different. If you had one around, you would never consider USB boot to get into fastboot mode except as a last resort.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] nFiniti:
Despite my blood related ties with SkOrPn, I will vouch for his tiny devices as they have saved not one, not two, nor three or four but multiple devices that I myself and friends own and have owned in the past. I test roms and apps and mods and hacks all the time and each time his devices have saved my device. In fact so many times that I am honestly no longer scared of bricking my device.

And on another note, I've personally watched him assemble his the Jigs and the Factory Cables some of you have purchased and his station is very nice and clean and the detail he takes in constructing these devices for the world around him in his spare time as a hobby, is just pure amazing. I've had him do other side jobs decently related and received Grade A++ Manufacture looking results.

Ebay might have a cheaper cable, and I'm usually one to go straight to ebay, being poor, broke and having an expensive hobby of my own, but I will pay for his cable when I get my new Kindle Fire.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Iguanadon:
Factory cable is a must. I made one two days after purchasing my fire. It's saved me several times.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] SkOrPn:
By my count I've made over 680 cables and I still as of yet have not purchased a Fire :p lol very sad

Even funnier still is I gave up trying to figure out how to flash TWRP onto my NS via Fastboot... Something that would have not ever happened two years ago, the giving up part anyway.

For that reason I couldn't get myself to post into that thread.

Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

Good point my plan was to give it away you could do the same;) after all tis the season hopefully it goes to someone in need regardless of it's new owner.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] SkOrPn:
Oh make no mistake about it I am in need of one and if I was to get one somehow I would not be giving it away anytime soon, lol... I will just wait until I find a damaged one for $50 or less at the bay... lol or two non working units for cheaper and use my skillz to make one working unit hehe...

EDIT: I wonder if anyone would buy (or trade) my mint condition Nexus S that I only use as an alarm clock? lol
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Thepooch:
We appreciate you cables thank you for your fine skill.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Varlokkur:
SkOrPn, I note on the order page that the cable isn't compatible with the 8.9 model. Pardon my ignorance, but is that because there's a fundamental hardware difference? In other words, do you foresee adapting your cables to be compatible with both at some point, or will it be necessary for me to buy one for my 7" kindle and another for my wife's 8.9? And on that note -- anyone know where I can find reliable cables for the 8.9" model?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] SkOrPn:
There is no telling what it is stopping the 8.9" from working. All we know is that if you short pins 1 and 4 the KF will automatically go into fastboot mode, obviously designed to do so for initial factory flashing and NOT designed for the public to be messing with (but we do anyway lol). However, for what ever reason I am told that the 8.9" kfhd does NOT seem to respond to a Factory Cable. Now, with that said I do not know if people have tried a direct short or used some resistance. I use 1K ohm on my cable in the hopes it will protect any device that was not designed for it (if you accidentally connect it to a Samsung device).

Since I do not have any of these devices to work with, I do not have the means to test theories. The Tablet community will have to figure it out and then relay the info to me so I can make a cable for it, assuming its even possible (may not have a hardware launched fastboot mode).

To answer your question, I have no plans to try and figure it out for the simple reason of being to poor to buy hardware just for these purposes. However, if you figure it out please let me know and I will make one for you...

Thanks again

SkOrPn

[Kindle Fire Accessories] WretchedXS:
okay, so just to be clear, the stock cable that came with my newly purchased Amazon Kindle Fire 2 is or is not a fastboot cable?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] SkOrPn:
Is NOT of course, lol a regular cable does not have a dangerous short on pin 1 like a factory cable does. Factory cables would cause a major headache with manufacturers since they can destroy any device not designed for it, i.e Samsung< HTC etc. However, if designed to accept the short on pin 1 a Motorola device or KF will know what to do, and that is to go into fastboot mode in order to accept fastboot commands.

So, NO it is not a factory cable. Factory Cables are shorted from pin 1 (+) to pin 4 (sense) on the device side of the cable :good:
[Kindle Fire Accessories] WretchedXS:
Thanx so very much for making that clear. +1

I was a bit confused as in my profession anything with the word "factory" in the name is an OEM item.

So by that standard, if it came from Amazon then it would be a "factory" cable.

But of course, thats not the case here as the word "factory" implies a function and not the manufacturer, and I can see where providing a "factory" cable with the KF could cause many issues for the general public.

Thanx again. :good:
[Kindle Fire Accessories] SkOrPn:
Exactly, Factory cables were never meant to be discovered by the public. But thats what devs and reverse engineers do with their free time, lol... Factory refers to the place where the device was initially flashed with its first ROM (I guess some call that the Factory). I think a more appropriate name would have been "Dangerously shorted Manufacturers Fastboot cable", lol...
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Ak@demik:
Thank you for a successful flashing procedure

Just wanted to say thank you to SkOrPn for his factory cable. It saved my Kindle. I bought a first generation (I assume) Kindle Fire 7" Demo Unit. Although the process took me a while, eventually, I got totally a fully working KF with Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed.

Also, huge thank you to Thepooch, who dedicated several hours of his personal time, helping me go through the flashing procedure.

Thank you, guys, a lot!
[Kindle Fire Accessories] votinh:
I've learn so much today but honestly if we call it as "fastboot cable" instead of "factory cable", i'm sure there will be a lot less confusion. Seriously.

Next step is how to use it and how to know whether it works or not.

Love to learn.

Normal Factory Cable Process Does Not Work
[Kindle Fire Accessories] SkOrPn:
Wow, its been a while since I've seen an exciting issue as this, lol. So the resistor was not the problem then? Even though I know my testing is flawless, this is why I like to send a second cable anyway. Because think about it, two well built, well tested cables will prove beyond a doubt in your mind that something is wrong with the setup you have in stead. Why the device isn't booting to fastboot the proper way seems to suggest something wrong with the bootloader, or maybe that's how the Gen1 works? Anyway, this at least gives you hope that now all you have to do is work to figure it out :good:

Have you asked around in the KF First Aide thread yet? There are some guys in there that have seen every issue imaginable. Anyway, good luck I hope it isn't too difficult to fix. If I can be of further assistance do not hesitate to PM me.

[MENTION=500006]SkOrPn[/MENTION], hey you still making kindle fire cables i need one to unbrick my kindle.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] SkOrPn:
Unfortunately no, I have not made one in years. However, find yourself a normal USB data cable and carefully cut open the micro side. You want to short pin 1 to pin 4, preferably with a 120 ohm resistor, but the resistor isn't needed. The resistor just saves you from damaging other devices if you accidentally put the cable on anything other than an older Motorola. Pin 1 to 4 would destroy any other device from what I remember. The video below might help you figure it out. Good luck.

So apparently CyanogenMOD is no longer offering root access as a default option. Which doesn't make sense to me cause in order to flash a Custom ROM like CyanogenMOD you have to be rooted and being rooted means you have root/superuser access to your phone.....Here's the link the article I read on Engadget - http://phandroid.com/2012/03/16/root-access-no-longer-the-default-in-latest-version-of-cyanogenmod/

It's definitely an annoyance for me personally, and I can see newbie users getting confused as to why their root apps aren't working. It feels like more trouble than it's worth. The superuser prompt should really be more than enough warning, especially considering that practically every guide on rooting goes on a tangent about its perils.

If you don't know what root is doing and everything that goes long with it then no one should not use it. Far to many people root their phone cause they think its cool and end up bricking their device with no warrenty because its rooted. I personally think its a good thing

You don't necessarily have to be rooted to flash a custom ROM; all you need is ClockworkMod or some other non-stock recovery. I have a Motorola Triumph and all you have to do to install CWM is boot into download mode, connect to a computer via USB, and replace recovery.img. No root necessary.
