Yes, BLN didn't work last week using the kernel I packaged into the ROM. It has been fixed in this release.
[Fascinate Android Development] Fun With Drugs:
I'm still running 1.12.09 and I was trying to find a good recent ROM to flash.

Came across this one and it seems to be stable, from what people are saying.

My only concern is with the theming. Will flashing to a V4 ROM change anything? Like, can I still use all my themes and such? People have said before, that MIUI V4 messed with their mtzs and such.
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
Gingerbread themes aren't fully compatible with ICS so some aspects of the theme won't stick. I don't mess around with themes too much but I've heard that the status bar and dial pad aren't themeable but I think everything else will theme properly.
[Fascinate Android Development] Fun With Drugs:
That sucks.

Also, what does it mean in the first post, under Installation; "If coming from a Gingerbread based ROM, you must flash teamhacksung's build 2 before flashing this ROM."
[Fascinate Android Development] .Ejekt:
As far as I know that step is no longer necessary. Just flash it. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
MIUI ICS won't run properly if flashed over a Gingerbread ROM. You need to be on an ICS ROM before flashing. I recommend flashing teamhacksung ICS Build 2 before flashing this ROM.
[Fascinate Android Development] Fun With Drugs:
Yeah, I tried to flash it over my current GB rom. Got stuck in a boot loop. Had to ODIN back to factory and then reflash back to my old MIUI. Oh well. It's still stable and I can still use all my old themes and such. I'll wait 'til I get a new phone, before I flash a V4 ROM.
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
It is necessary again. It seemed MIUI fixed the problem in a couple releases, but as of 2.54, its necessary again.
[Fascinate Android Development] dave_k605:
Anybody else have their launcher redraw nearly every time they go back to their home page?

anything I can do to reduce this? I want to keep using this rom but it's almost unbearable, almost like it's not managing ram well at all.
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
You might try going into launcher settings and checking 'keep in memory' if its not already checked.
[Fascinate Android Development] dave_k605:
It is checked.

I flashed this over aokp, would it be better over teamhacksung build 2....I wouldn't think so but just asking
[Fascinate Android Development] japin:
I was nervous to try ICS MIUI at first but I have to say besides the signal bar issue I have no problems with this rom at all. It is the smoothest I have used so far of all the ICS roms and seems much snappier overall. Thanks a ton weblexa for taking your hard earned time to do this, I can say I am very appreciative of all your work.
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
It wouldn't hurt trying. I've send some real weird issues caused by not flashing teamhacksung build 2 before flashing this.

[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
I noticed from the last releases that the backup tool doesn't entirely work anymore. I used to be able to backup and restore all system settings, data, and apps including desktop layout. Now it only seems to restore contacts, call log, messages, alarm settings, and apps. The rest is not restored including the desktop layout which is kind of annoying because every time I try a different ROM, I have to go thru setting up the desktop layout and other things that wasn't recovered from backup. I like to group all the icons together in folders. Anyone observed the same issue?
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
Yeah, MIUI backup app isn't fully functional on ICS yet. Its definately annoying, hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
folks, there is a guide in the general section that specifically states how to install all ICS based roms. If you dont flash ths build 2 to prior to miui, then expect problems...its not the rom!
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
My work around for now is by using Go Launcher with the UI3.0 theme. I'm able to backup and restore the desktop settings now. And I really like the cylinder home screen transition effect. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] dave_k605:
Ok i odined back to stock, whipped my sd card so no dirty files on it (just incase) re dl-ed the needed files for ths2, your rom and flashed away....still same issue and I've let it run for a day and a half, yet still going it.

Looks like back to your gb rom for me, no biggy as that rom is the best thing I've ever put on my phone!!
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
You know, ever since you mentioned that you're having that problem, its been happening to me constantly. Its driving me nuts.
[Fascinate Android Development] Relaxasaurus:
Sis wasn't happy with vanilla ICS. So glad you make this ROM available for the fassy, thanks weblex!

Having some force close issues on 2.5.11. Gonna try and work them out tonight or tomorrow. Should have the build uploaded sometime this weekend.
[Fascinate Android Development] erivnocmc:
passes the test miui 2.5.11?
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
Still having trouble figuring out the issue. I'm working on it. Hopefully will have something for you guys soon.
[Fascinate Android Development] bta1974@hotmail.com:
accelerometer maybe

I have found when playing games like gta racing when i touch the screen with my second hand (gas & brake) I get a force close. I had the same problem some time back with miui until deleting and going to default I think "aries" file. Just a place to look. you are probably way past that, but. Also I am fully impressed with this rom. I have an infuse as well as fascinate, and i spend more time on the fascinate it seems to be quicker. go figure
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
I'm not releasing 2.5.11 because I haven't been able to get rid of the force closes. Been busy with some personal stuff the last few days. I should hopefully be able to get 2.5.18 released on Friday or Saturday if everything goes as planned.
[Fascinate Android Development] steve2711:
Force Closes

Weblexa,

IS the force close your speaking of the MIUI closing? Because if that's the case, I'm experiencing that also. However, this ROM offers what AOPK would like to offer, in terms of theme replacement and color, that AOPK just hasen't been able to yet with its UI hybrid. I know, I've tried it and had to go through its issues until 35.1 came out, which seemed to work fine, but the themes offered, in terms of interesting color etc. on AOKP, all have issues.

So, I'm staying with MIUI and I'm sure you'll get the force close issue resolved. Part of the problem for us on Verizon, is the recent changes they made in up grade cost, so that getting into a newer phone is a bit out of reach for me. Consequently, we are dependent upon great Devs like yourself keeping our good ole' Fascinates up to date. So mant thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
The force close is a repeated com.android.phone force close. Not sure what's causing it. I can't run a logcat because I can't get adb working for some reason but I'm still working on it here and there. Anybody with access to adb willing to flash my 2.5.11 port and run a logcat for me? Let me know and I'll PM you the link. It would definately be appreciated.
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
2.5.18 coming either tonight or tomorrow so long as I don't run into any issues. Hoping the force close issue is gone...

[Fascinate Android Development] itzdustin:
This is for the mesmerize right? Also you should fix the auto update feature:)
[Fascinate Android Development] erivnocmc:

[Fascinate Android Development] pma7779:
Is there a reason I am having trouble customizing the theme? I thought issues with the theme were fixed in a previous build. Not sure if I am just doing something wrong.

Bluetooth Media Audio

I updated to 2.5.4 today and noticed I don't have media audio playback over Bluetooth. I have unpaired and repaired my LG HBS700 a few times now. The head set buttons work just no media audio. Can anyone else confirm?
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
Just want to post real quick to make sure everyone knows that I haven't given up on this port... I'm still working on fixing the force close problem. I've had some things come up the last couple weeks which has restricted the amount of time I've been able to work on this. I'm going out of town tomorrow and won't be back until Sunday afternoon, but I'm working on the force close problem as much as possible today and if I don't have it fixed today, I'll be working on it when time allows throughout the weekend.

I want to thank you all for your patience.

I hope you succeed.

Just got back into town. Didn't have time to work on it this weekend but I'm gonna start working on 2.5.25 tonight. Wish me luck with this damn force close problem :D
[Fascinate Android Development] ztotherad:
good luck bro, and i hope you enjoyed your little vacation!
[Fascinate Android Development] erivnocmc:
The good news?
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
Ha! I wish I had some good news. I'm still working on it. The bad news is that I can't get my adb working to get a logcat so I'm trying to fix this issue blindly. I'm not sure if the problem is with adb or the ROM but I can't seem to get adb to recognize my device on any version of MIUI. I haven't been able to test it on another ROM yet though. Can someone on 2.5.4 who has experience with adb see if adb recognizes your device? It would be appreciated!
[Fascinate Android Development] .Ejekt:
Damn, web. Good luck! Wish I could help. I've since switched to AOKP to get my flash fix but boy oh boy do I miss me some good ol' MIUI. Regardless, I'll continue to check up on this thread daily.
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
Just got adb working. Hopefully I can figure out whats causing the force close now... I'll keep this thread updated.
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
I figured out the problem (so glad I figured out the issue with adb!)... Looks like something changed in 4.0.4 and the hack I use to get data and calls working on my port is causing the force close. I'm looking for a new way to hack up the framework as we speak... I should hopefully have this figured out in a day or two.

Is this newer miui as nice as it was on gingerbread?
[Fascinate Android Development] Mustang915:
Dude flash it yourself see if you like it if you don't well that's up to you.
[Fascinate Android Development] Neuman.Tim:
In my opinion its tits, but like mustang said you need to flash it and find out if it suits your taste.
[Fascinate Android Development] rmtobler:
I was on gingerbread miui for about 6 months before deciding to give this a try. I found the ROM super frustrating because it has potential to be better than gingerbread miui but the remaining "to do's" and some other issues keeps it from being as nice a the older version. However, once I checked the ics miui I couldn't go back to gingerbread. At that point I was ready to sell my phone and get a Nexus because I like miui the best and wanted a phone that had relatively few issues with miui, but then I tried AOKP and was blown away with the stability (especially compared to my experience on ICS miui) and so it saved me a few hundred dollars on an upgrade. I can't give up on miui though, I will give this a shot again when it seems more matured.
[Fascinate Android Development] neh4pres:
Thanks, that's the type of comparison i was looking for. I don't have the time to flash new things often to try it out.. And i know it takes time for things to mature, especially on roms that can't be source built.. I'll wait for now.. And thanks to all that put work in on this ROM
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
2.6.1 is up! Finally got the force close issues figured out. See OP for download link. Thanks for being so patient while I figured this out!

[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
Do any themes fully work yet on ICS MIUI? I've tried older builds with that problem (status bar not being themed, for example), but apparently it was a problem with MIUI in general, and nothing specific to the Fascinate builds. So I guess what I'm really asking is if MIUI has fixed the ICS theming issue or if themes specially made for ICS have been released.
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
I've heard that themes were fixed since my last release. I haven't tried any themes yet so I could be wrong.
[Fascinate Android Development] MezManiac:
Extended Settings

Is the new extended settings cooked into this rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:

[Fascinate Android Development] DrkGhst87:
Just a quick question for those who flashed the latest MIUI, when you receive a text did anyone get a weird root access request by something with a hole bunch of Chinese characters? Since the text popped up I couldn't allow or deny... Also, got another weired request by "system" ... All this after a fresh install (flashed back to stock) never ran into these before and figured I'd ask.

I noticed earlier today that superuser was requesting permissions from an app with Chinese characters too.

I'm still waiting for confirmation and will let you know when I find out if that's the case.

things like this is what makes me nervous about going back to MIUI.. i spent all of my time on MIUI for GB.. ive even been toying with throwing the 12.9 build back on here..

my concerns are root/privacy issues.. i know weblexa does a great job with this, but it still makes me nervous.. ive been running AOKP since that came out..

what is the consensus on security/privacy, weird chinese things like this is what i got when i first tried the 4.0 .. and its still there and that bothers me.. should i be worried?

So any news on Aries parts? It's a downer that we have such great screens but they can't display the quality they should on this rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
As of now, I can't get it to work on MIUI. I'll look into it more when I have some spare time.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Been running 2.6.1 for several hours now....so far no issues. Need more time to tinker with it and maybe something will come up.
[Fascinate Android Development] thisguy23:
Web I think this is a step in the right direction:

The same fix also updated the driver to allow other apps (AriesParts, ROM Control, etc) to tune the color/gamma. Unfortunately, MIUI is not capable of using those other apps, so, I've compiled a new MIUI version of the subZero 1.1 Build 70 kernel that restores the old functionality to configure Voodoo Color via the Voodoo Sound app.

That's a bit from this link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552241&page=14

If the apps won't work like before then make the kernel do it with the original.

Thoughts?
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
that icon looks like the privacy app that can like block SMS bombs and restrict numbers and stuff like that.

Any way to get the Miui.US Toolbox working?
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
I'd have to port 2.6.1 from a different device to get the Toolbox. For some reason, the device I port from didn't get the Toolbox this week. I've been told that the Toolbox would be integrated next week.

I need some input from you guys... I'm going to start working on fixing the 3G signal bar but I want to know if you guys prefer dual signal bars over a single signal bar.

whatever is easier, but i would prefer single.

Is there a way to hide the alarm icon from the status bar?
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
Good point. I think I'm going to focus on fixing the 3G signal bar and keep the dual icons. That way you can choose if you want the dual signal bars or the single signal bar.
[Fascinate Android Development] k_nivesout:
Having the choice would definitely be cool. Appreciate the work you put in! GB MIUI was great and when v4 matures a little be it'll be awesome. It's already working quite nicely, but there are still some little things to be worked out on the rom (China) side, not just this device.

Anyway, I can certainly say I'm glad there's still someone keeping up MIUI for the fascinate!
[Fascinate Android Development] erivnocmc:
new kernel to fascinate

weblexa you do not add it to your next rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
I'd need to do some extensive testing before I'd consider including this in my future ports. I'll flash it after I get 2.6.8 ported and test it over the next couple weeks. If it turns out to be better than Glitch, I'll consider baking it into my port.
[Fascinate Android Development] erivnocmc:
2.6.8 will be a few weeks?
[Fascinate Android Development] weblexa:
No, no, no... I'm working on porting 2.6.8 now :). I was just saying that after I get 2.6.8 ported and on my device, I'll flash the kernel and test it for the next few weeks.

I ended up flashing the kernel on 2.6.1 and there's an issue that won't allow you to boot into recovery, so I'm not going to do any further testing of the kernel until that issue is fixed.
