Thanks to everyone who pointed me to that notification bar settings. It's awesome!

BTW I noticed that FileExplorer crashes constantly on first launch. It works fine on the second try. And as for the Tiamat kernel - tried to flash the latest one yesterday and couldn't get pass the HTC logo. Green LED flashes and it goes to sleep :)

Cannot install 2.6.1

Hey Marange,

I've tried to install 2.6.1 but get caught in bootloop that sends me back to Recovery - It just keeps looping every time I choose reboot system now in Recovery. :mad:

If I try to install the zip once more Aroma stalls completely. I even tried a complete wipe but had the same issue.

I had to use the nandroid backup in order to get to the previous version.

Don't know if others have experienced the same thing?

Hope you have an idea.

"Out of space " bug report:

I erased Titanium Backup because I got an error message after reboot that system could not start Titanium Backup.

When I tried to reinstall Titanium Backup (from SD card) I got error message "Out of space" and that I should free up some space. Also the download from Google Play got interrupted due to not enough memory.

I am using lx-d2e and therefore I have 669 MB of available memory (out of 0,94 GB) and there are 1,36 GB available on the SD card. I have hardly any apps installed on my Desire.

Long-Press "Home" button and wiping running apps freed up 0.0 MB even though 5 apps where running. Still app-installation isn't possible.

Several reboots did not help.

Can anybody confirm memory problems?
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
I had same problem when trying to install the dictionary pack. Installation goes well w/o checking that box. Give it a try.

Marange, LED notifications work like a charm on 2.6.1 release ;) Just waiting for the fix of the bugs I reported :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I need to look at the FileExplorer crash. Very strange that it crashes on first launch and works on second try. Maybe a problem with one of my patches.

I did not yet try to new tiamat kernel, so can not help there (yet).

In my Rom 2.6.1 led notification not work.

And for me it's important.

I do a full wipe before install the new rom.

Any idea to adjust?

[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
I confirm, on my 2.6.1 it does not work either ...
[Desire Android Development] raha0007:
I can confirm that no wifi at all

Checking the very same thing in the sandvold ICS worked.

I can maybe post a log of my install options later if its a matter of combinations
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I think I messed up this. I will look at it and see if I can get it fixed for the next version.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
No adjust. It is a problem in the miui base code or something I messed up. Sorry for this. I will look into this.

Lenny also mailed me a solution which worked outside the MIUI code, so I will at least have a solution for the next version.

UPDATE: Working on this one at the moment, and should have it working in the next version
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi Xepap,

I haven't heard about this problem, but maybe it is a corrupt download ? Try to download it again and see if it works. Sorry I don't know any other reason why it gives trouble.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] floramy:
any feedback on this? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] mikegadd:
The boot loop is happening to me as well download twice.

It says cannot find a file at about 54% of install. The install finishes and says complete. When you reboot it goes into recovery mode,
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Do you have a non stock hboot ? And selected AOPK dictionaries ? Please deselect the AOPK dictionaries and try to install the ROM again. I noticed a problem in the installer with a non stock hboot and the dictionary selected. I just found and fixed it.

If this is not the problem, could you please let me know which file is giving a problem ?

Sorry for the problems.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] savale:
Hi Marange,

I just did a quick test since I love MIUI. I think it's a good port already! I hope you can find the time to keep it updated for a while. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Sorry, missed your posting. About the 'no service' line. I have no idea why the ROM is doing that. I always get the provider in the top left corner. Do other ROMS show the carrier name there ? It could be that MIUI or android cannot find the name of the carrier and shows "no service" there. I will look into it. Can you tell me why carrier you have ?

About the signal ? I have no idea. No problem here. Is this a problem which you notice with 2.6.1 and not with the 2.5.18 or did you run another ROM ? Maybe a problem with the provider ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
hi Gregor07,

Very strange. Maybe Lenny can help here. He is the specialist about all this memory and installer stuff. Hope he can post a solution soon.

I also noticed that the wiping for running apps almost always gives a 0.0Mb freed. I don't know why this works this way and I don't have a clue if this is something I messed up or something in the baserom/miui code. I hope I can figure this one out someday, but it is not easy.

"No Service" Issue

Hi Marange,

Im having this issue since your first release. but it doesnt impact anything. i still can make a call, and everything without no issue. I dont want to bother you on this issue due to there is still bigger issue to handle. Im from Malaysia and Maxis is my telco. if this helps.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
As for the memory freed, even if it was more then 0 it is talking about ram and has nothing whatsoever to do with the out of space issue.

I've posted what to do when there's a no free space error many times, search the thread to find the relevant terminal commands to provide some useful information to debug.
[Desire Android Development] jerrylin612:
Hi Marange, i am a Chinese, and i want to know how to let the gallery display Chinese words, but not 'All Albums' and 'All Photos'

I think maybe you can make a setting 'Language' in the installer, just like 'Chinese', 'French' and so on.

really like this rom!

thank you for G7's updating!:p
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
He would just need to add the 2 original pngs to drawable-hdpi-zh, no need for installer options
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I think I made a mix up here. It was never the idea to override the original png's. It should have been language dependent. I will fix this is the next version.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
I noticed that, but I think you didn't mess up, because I had the same problem with Miui-Au. At least it's just information, memory is freed anyway :)
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
In miui the default should be English (as the rest of the from)

They made a mistake by not putting those pngs in the folder I mentioned. There shouldnt really be any *-en folders otherwise the rom ixed Chinese/English for those in other locales.
[Desire Android Development] jerrylin612:
I can not accept MMS...why?

my apn setting is right~
[Desire Android Development] P.x.:
Got same problems on previous version, did not test on current.
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
... and I had the same issue with another ICS MIUI on another hardware device (Samsung Galaxy I9000). So there is not need to dig into that.
[Desire Android Development] Murrzeak:
The thing is, that the graphical bar and the memory counter in the multitasking menu usually shows a significantly better result while cleaning app-at-a-time. But the result that's being presented after cleaning the memory is considerately lower.

I just wonder why music player glitches that much. And even more after the recent update. It was glitchy on 2.3.7 MIUI, but in most cases it was because of the CPU underclocking and/or lack of memory. In this version it's a horrible experience to listen to music. What could be wrong with it? 3rd party players are affected as well, so it's something with the MP3 decoding I suppose. Need to try FLAC and see if it's any better.
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
Hi Lenny,

thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I made a full wipe and switched to A2SD because I would have never believed to get direct support from the developer of the LX-D2X script :) So just for me to know when I get back and rush into that memory problem:

Are you refering to this one?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26724746&postcount=533

by going through each folder in sd-ext and looking for disk usage?

cd folder_name

du -d 1

Sorry for my silly questions. I hardly know anything about linux and I still have not fully understood what is mounted where:confused:
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Yes, that's the info I would need to help debug.

And, as I have mentioned before, amarullz developed the script, I've just modified it to (IMHO) perform better and work better with miui. But I have developed my own scripts before, and have a full understanding of how it works :)

Nice work in this release. I feel fullproof ics miui is coming to us ;-)
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Marange,

a little off topic, but can you confirm that proxuser miui porting guide actually works?

If yes, I'll work on it myself and won't be bothering you more.....

If no, it will save me time and effort....

[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Listened about 45 mins of mp3s this afternoon and didn't had a single glitch/skip. Maybe its encoding issue in your music? Can you upload one song so I can try?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I have no idea if the porting guide actually works. I guess it could work, but I did not use it. I use patchrom to do the port. I would say, play with it and see what happens.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
No problem at all with MMS. Check your APN settings ?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ok, Katte gave me a log file so I looked into the "installer stopped at 54%". I can now see where and why this problem occurs, but I don't have a clue which triggers this. The problem is that one of the options file from aroma is not written/missing. This should never happen, but there is a situation where this occurs. If someone can give me more information about all settings (from the start-current, standard, custom), they selected when this occurs will help a lot.

UPDATE: Found the problem. Something I completely overlooked. When the ROM is installed for the first time, there are no settings and the restore scripts misses that. Even when there are no files found, it flags the restore action as a success, which it should not do of course.

Sorry for this problem, I am looking into this and this will be solved with the next release (I will only release a new version after I fixed this bug).
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Installer stops at 54% patch

Hi,

I created a solution for the installer stops at 54% problem. If someone who has this problem could test it for me ? The solution is to download the patched restore.sh file from LINK REMOVED and unzip the ROM, overwrite the restore.sh located in META-INF/com/google/android/aroma/scripts with the new one and zip the ROM again. Try to install it again.

Marange

UPDATE: Got a report that this does not work. Need to look at it again.
[Desire Android Development] ironman76:
Hi Marange and All, i had the same problem with ca. 50% stoped to flash... but i changed the hboot data to stock hboot. But what i think is important: In the installer i only changed from Standard to Customer and it flashed 100% :D

I hope i could help
[Desire Android Development] Murrzeak:
I've checked 2 different albums which I was listening to before on GB MIUI. If it was something with the track, I could just rewind back and reproduce it :) But no, the mp3's are fine. Hm...
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
I thought I made it so if the options weren't saved already the "current" choice shouldn't be available. My bad, must've forgot. Also, each time you change the aroma installer you need to update those scripts, not sure if you've been doing that? May also be issues due to that.
[Desire Android Development] jerrylin612:
Hi Marange, I got a bug with 2.6.1

when I click the 'Fly mode', my phone will stuck and reboot later.

I choose shaky's kernel.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
This is probably something that I did when tinkering with the installer several versions ago. But because I had already the option files, this never showed. Also when users come from MIUI Au, the problem doesn't occur.

I did not update the aroma installer, but a good hint. Something to keep in mind when upgrading aroma.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I tried to reproduce this, but I have no problem. I can switch from 'aeroplane mode' and back without problems. Could you tell me exactly what you do when this problem occurs ?
[Desire Android Development] hynia:
Hi All!

I used until now the hc xmiui. The latest version was quiet nice and fast.

This is my 2. isc probe:), and with the miui to. The stock kernel was very laggy for me (ext4, a2sd - app and system, 120mb swap).

With the shaky kernel is much smoother, but sometimes slowed it down to. Most of the time, after the turn on and after the screen on.

In all, this is a nice rom, great work!

I have "only" one big problem - that i don't understand, why become my phone in quadrant benchmarks so poor results..:( 1100-1300points..:( Any idea?
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Hey marange, your rom seems pretty good, very nice job for this port.

Now, out of curiosity I know MIUI isn't the fastest rom and the theming does put a little weight on cpu/gpu, but I wonder what's the state of developing? Are you going to apply some more tweaks to become slightly faster / smooth? Or are you just "bug solving" as it comes?

'Cause IMO, it does need some "tweaking" around :) I know it's easy said but, just my opinion!

Let me know :)

Thank's!
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Let me first fix the problems. Tweaking will come later, when I figure the stuff out. I am learning on the job, so it is not that easy for me. Secondly Xiaomi is still patching a lot, so it is a bit silly to start patching and redo them every week ( I don't even have the time for that). So patience and enjoy MIUI :).
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Thank you ;-)

Good work!
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
The problem with the saved settings, is that due to how aroma stores and reads them, any new option or removed option (any change whatsoever to the options in aroma-config basically) will cause the saved settings to produce different results. That's why my restore script has a check for the version number of the saved settings, and won't retrieve them if the version isn't one considered compatible.

So if you change aroma options in 2.6.8, you would need to change the if statement to only restore if version of the backup = 2.6.8. Then, if for 2.6.15 the options didn't change, the script should check if version = 2.6.8 or 2.6.15. Basically any time its changed, the if statement needs to be reset to only the current version,and when not changed, the current version added to the list of acceptable ones. Does that make sense?

Its one of the other reasons I kept my aroma simple and only included useful functional options, less need for changes.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:

Marange, will you add these features in the next release ? :cool:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
When the new music player is included in the patchrom update of this week, then yes. The supermarket is only for china, so that one is removed and the settings change, when this is included in the patchrom update, will also be included. I will include all patches into the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
I too get the issue that Murrzeak is describing of "glitching" noises in the MIUI Music app, this has been confirmed by Marange who also has these strange BRRRRWT noises.

Although other music players are fine, at least for me only MIUI Music seems affected. There is a new MIUI Music app coming soon, so maybe this new version will fix it
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Hey, I have one thing to report :

Automatic brightness sucks sometimes, the screen seems to blink, that's very annoying, mostly when reading and browsing web (especially when white ~ grey colors are displayed):/ this bug was already there, before the last version. Did anyone noticed that ?

I really like the 'night mode' browser feature :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
As garreh mentioned. I also had these BRRRWWWTT sounds. They are random and it is unclear what triggers these. I also tested Mixzing and I didn't have the problem there. Hopefullly Music player 2 (hopefullt included in this weeks release, need to check the patchrom repository after I get home) will have this issue solved.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I think that I read somewhere that other users on other phones have trouble with the automatic brightness. I think this is an issue in miui itself. But then, I never had an issue with the automatic brightness. It works nicely on my phone.

[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Guys which setup do you have?

Stock hboot

Shaky kernel

Smartassv2 245-998

LX-D2X

aGPS Patch

Stock music player

GPU rendering 2D enabled.

Is mine. No BRRRTTT. Maybe OC or governor change might help. As I mentioned before, I had such issues in MIUI XJ at some point. Solved by changing cpu governor.
[Desire Android Development] l0minus:
After more than a week trying, I finished my first translation of a rom, the Dutch one made for Marange MIUI, with many many thanks to 1982strand ;)

It is working on my Desire, as far as I can see everything is translated and I have no errors at this moment.

If somebody is testing this translation and is finding bugs, words/sentences not translated, please let me know, so I can arrange that.

Download of MIUI_DESIRE_ICS_MARANGE_2.6.1_NL_Update

I`m uploading the file on a public server, while I have no other possibilities yet.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Sorry, I have no idea. But I think the MIUI is not yet optimised. Xiaomi is still patching and including new features, so there is still some speed to find. But then, I just like MIUI and think it works nicely, so I don't mind the benchmarks ...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I used conservative as govenor and got the BBRRRRTTTT sounds. Now I switch to smatassv2 and did listen music for half an hour and did not have this anymore. I also enabled the GPU rendering (which is located in the developer settings) and I uses, like the first test, MIUI Music Player, so it does look like a kernel/governor issue. Secondly I have the feelings that with smartassv2 the ROM is a little bit smoother. It is just a feeling, I have no proof.

Thanks jukyO, for this information.
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
For the most part automatic brightness works well, except for when in pitch black it will never choose minmium brightness on my device. So for me it seems too bright and wastes battery. This might just be just my preference. It would be nice to have automatic brightness thresholds configurable in the settings, just like they were on MIUI-Au Gingerbread. Maybe Lennox added this as some "special sauce" ?
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Ha, you remember the special sauce lol. Unfortunately no, they were there as MIUI GB used CM7 as a base, so many of the CM customisations carried over. Now MIUI is all done using AOSP as a base, which is then patched into the relevant base rom (so TouchWiz for SGS2, Sense for Sensation/OneX etc etc).

The values for auto-brightness should be identical to Evervolv, as the original framework-res is nearly intact, nothing is really changed other than a few colours and styles.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Some new patches

Hey guys, I've got a few new things done for next release, and just want some tests done to make sure its working as expected (it is for me, and should be fine, but more positive reports are always good). The apk files attached need to be pushed to /system/app, and services.jar to /system/framework (I'm not providing a flashable zip as if you don't know how to push to system correctly, you probably can't provide reliable test results :) Thanks for understanding)

Should be fixed/modified (as per maranges requests):

Removed the "Report to MIUI" button in the FC and ANR dialogs

Removed the "System Updates" button in Settings > About

Added option "LED Notifications" under Settings > Display

[Please not the LED Notifications settings is just a patched/modified/themed version of an old LEDMeKnow beta by p0w4p0ty. It is a small subset of the features available in the latest LedMeKnow beta, but it is enough for most people who just want the basics, it looks better, doesn't occupy app drawer space, and still encourages people to download the official version from the market for people who want more options and want to support the developer]

Any feedback on this would be good so I can fix anything I messed up before marange puts out the next release.

P.S: Please ignore/don't think anything of the MIUI-Au logo in settings with this version. Forgot that AutoApktool will automatically overwrite the images (haven't used it for a while :p). Unintentional of course, but as the apk's are just for testing I don't see the need to upload one with the original png, it'll be overwritten when marange updates anyway.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
All tested and working good.
