did anyone ever notice a lot of files being downloaded after flashing .30? i will upload pictures as soon as my phone is done deleting them all... is taking a while.

I flashed the rom and played with it for a bit. then i flashed the gapps and then i was prompted to update google, so i tried but it failed because size was too big >1mb so i went into "downloads" to change that setting and saw a bunch of files "dictionary update information" being downloaded.

I know exactly what you mean. It was happening to me all the time on .16 too. i was hoping the next update would fix that and the fact that anytime something is over 1mb you have to click start now to download it.

There is an app (or utillity) called download with big green arrow. Open that and turn off "Download only using Wi-Fi."

Also increase your data usage, uncheck set mobile data limit. Under settings |Wireless & Networks |Data usage...

Actually just go to that app (downloads) -> menu, settings, " file size limit" and change that to whatever you want.. I have mine at 10mb since thats the max
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
One thing that I noticed when this happens to me is that my phone appears to be connected to wifi - the toggle is turned on - but if I go to settings - wiFi and check, - it isn't really connected - I then turn wifi off - and then on again and it usually fixes it - and the error message goes away - changing your settings to allow more data download on mobile data connections fixes it too - but if WIFI were connected, I shouldn't get the message in the first place - Right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
thanks for the another pointer, there are so many settings all ober in MIUI. I think .30 has revamp that but I am going to wait until Marcusant and Darkierawr releases another one with 4.0.4. May be tommorow according to Darkierawr post few days ago. :D:D

I finished my Bob the MIUI Builder last night. It creates a fully working rom now. I'll publish it some time late tonight and then you can try it on the MIUI.us release and see if it works for you. Hopefully this will make the updating process a boat load simpler... that is assuming that you have a windows PC. A linux/mac friendly version has been thought up, but no work has been done.

Hmm.... well if they fix it on their end, then that might fix the issue. We cannot fix the issue at it's current state... well, we can it would just take an immense amount of work to go through their code and try to do it.

Epic 4g MIUI Installer and Customizer

If you can wait a little while, until the 2.4 update comes out, then the installer and customizer i put together should be 100% working.

/end shameless plug

Otherwise just do a complete wipe in CWM and download the 2.3.16 from roms.miui.us. I borked 2.3.23, so 2.3.16 is the latest "official" release that is fully working.

The Bob The MIUI Builder I was referring to, is a GUI application for windows that i wrote that allows someone to combine another MIUI Rom from a different phone, like the samsung fascinate, with our CM9 to make a fully working rom for our phone.

This means that our developers don't have to do squat, but download 2 files and fill in a couple text boxes. All the leg work will be done by the application. Thus, as soon as the fascinate gets 2.4 we can get it immediately after it is posted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
"Bob, The MIUI Builder " sounds like a great guy! LOL - Amazing what technology can do today - and just when do you find time to sleep my friend?

Thanks for everything - past, present and future! (to you and all your Dev Friends)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Much appreciated! I do pretty much all of my development during the weekends. I stay up till 4-5am on friday/saturday and either play games or develop, or even a combination of both.

Assuming I don't find any more hurdles, the updated bob the miui builder will be released tonight, sometime before i go to bed at 4am (CST). The installer and customizer will be updated this weekend as well, I'm just not sure if it can get done tonight.

I can't really take all of the credit though. There's lots of various parts that went into these things that would not be possible if it weren't for other individuals. To get the bob the miui builder to work, i used the instructions provided by Marcusant/Darkierawr. The installer and customizer uses the aroma installer open source "framework." There's way too many people to thank, but I try to give everyone credit in the thanks portion of all of my threads. If you have a few "thanks" left over one day, find a post that one of them did and give it a "thanks." All in all, I am but a small part of what has made this community so great. It's exciting though, to see that people are interested in my work. Usually my projects get half-way completed and then fizzle out, so it's nice that I've taken something through completion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
All I can say is that you seem to have undertaken something that is incredibly ambitious - and if it is half as good as it sounds it is going to be - you should be very proud of the work you have done. I for one thank you - and I know there are many more who have really enjoyed the things you have put together so far that thank you as well.

It is due to people like you, Marcusant, Darkierawr and all of the other developers who call the corridors and byways of XDA home, that help to make our EPIC such an incredible device.

Forget for a minute that we have been left on the sidelines by Samsung and Sprint who could have done a much better job at updating our phone - adding memory - improving the processor etc - despite those failures - I am still loyal to the Epic because of people like you who help make it such an incredible phone!

Thanks! Can't wait to try "BOB - The MIUI Builder"

People have lives. You can port it yourself it you want. The guide for porting is documented pretty well...
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
I tried porting it last night.

Porting from the Nexus S 4G the phone won't get past the boot logo.

I don't know whether it's kernel related or what. But after adding the lib files it really began to cluster ****.

There has to be a new step we don't know about, or I'm doing it wrong.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I ported it and it works fine. At least I think I did. I have been really busy so I forgot if I did or not.

Alright, here is the latest version. EVERYTHING works (besides 4G) (including the led colors being red and not green, and some other things such as the miui permissions manager). You need to follow these instructions to the dot as this build is really weird (this will be fixed in the next build).

INSTRUCTIONS

Download the latest MIUI for the Epic

Wipe Data/Factory Reset if coming from another ROM

Install the latest MIUI

Reboot

Wait for it to be fully on and unlock to the home screen

Download the phase 2 zip

Flash phase 2 (do not wipe anything)

Reboot

Enjoy

EDIT: I forgot permissions on invoke-as so themes will not work, 1 sec

" The 2.3.7 MIUI Themes aren't compatible with V4 versions, so I decided to make a quick Template for all you MIUI Themers out there. Template will work for all miui versions and phones as long as it V4.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
GOOD GOD my Friend! These guys just released 2.4.6 - which in my opinion was a pretty amazing feat in and of itself - we barely have have had time to flash it - and your already asking for Beta 2?

I don't mean to jump down your throat - and I am as impatient as the next person - but give them some breathing room - I have no idea about what goes into doing these roms personally - other than I know it it takes tim and a lot more skill and knowledge than I have - and these guys have a life - they have families - and jobs or go to school and we don't pay a dime for the work they do here - they do this because the want to -

I am as eager as you are for them to get Beta 2 done - but if there is one thing I have learned since I first came to these threads - don't ask WHEN - just be grateful when it happens.

Yes but understand that the developers have a life of their own. They are not checking xda 24/7 like some of us. Even if they were, they have priorities to take care of. Like someone mention before, be thankful that we have what we have. They will have it done whenever/if they can/want
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
The beta version is not related to cm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
Okay. Well, I figured it was slightly related. Oops. Just to clarify. Themes are not working on .6, correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
Not fully - but depending on which theme you choose - some things do work -

I have been able to change

Boot Animation -

Icons -

the various Sounds and notifications -

Wallpaper

Lock Screen -

Lock Screen Wall paper -

but have not been able to change Status Bar. (Funny, I could change the status bar on the previous version - but not this one)

So - at least for me - themes sort of works - but not completely - when you compare what you CAN change with AOKP for example, the current MIUI gives you more options you can change by far -

It will be awesome when they get ALL Aspects of themes to work propertly but for now, it is better than having no control at all over themeing.

I hope this helps - good luck
