Ohh!! i somehow missed that post, im usually very good at lookin back at posts and using the search function to avoid askin for answered to previously answered questions, so sorry and thank you for your quick reply marange, your the best ;)
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I feel this should be optional. Firstly, I don't think the Google nav bar fits the MIUI interface very well at all, and secondly our Desires have traditional hard keys for those functions, so I for one definitely wouldn't ever use it. I've tried a couple other ICS ROMs and one JB ROM recently, each of which had it as an option (AOKP did it about the best), but it lasted about 15 minutes after playing with all the settings and customisations before I disabled it again.

As stated on the Android blog (obviously in reference to the standard UI as Google see it, but still):

So, while some people would love it, I personally just don't see the point using that on the Desire. :)

Just out of curiosity, I was previously using MIUI-AU (GB ROM), and I remember Themes had an option to backup the current theme (by creating a new file called 'backup.mtz' with the current theme settings, creating a new backup overwrote the existing one).. I found it extremely useful when testing a new theme, if I felt like reverting to the way my device was before the new theme, I could simply apply backup.mtz again, but that option doesn't seem to exist in this ROM.

Does anybody know if that was something Xiaomi removed in the base ROM? Or was it perhaps some customization added by the guys who put MIUI-AU together? Did a quick Google search, but I didn't find anything too conclusive..

very slow and crashes for incoming calls

Hallo,

after a full wipe I have installes the latest version. Now the phone is very slow and after an incoming call I the sim card does not work and after logging in the sim card the phone requires a reboot. Can anybody helpt what is going wrong here? Logfile is attached.

Regards,

Gregor07
[Desire Android Development] marange:
If I include some tweak I will always try to make it optional. The base will be as MIUI as possible, so the navbar will be optional if I can include it.

About the backup option for the themes, I have no idea. Maybe Lenny can tell us more about this.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Which version did you install ? The 2.8.17 or the 2.8.20 ? I messed up the 2.8.17 with an incoming call problem. The 2.8.20 is the fix.

Marange.
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
it's the 2.8.17 - I will install the fix and let you know if there are any problems.
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
While I do agree with you that on screen buttons might not fit the MIUI theme that well, I have to say that they do work very nicely, especially in AOKP roms and are VERY useful for people like me who own a headset with very damaged/some near dead hardware keys! Also I think that they could be themed very well to fit that MIUI look ;) Gonna try this rom now, haven't checked it for ages and recently felt like trying a bit of MIUI goodness!
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Quick question, has anyone tried using Mount2SD script on this rom? And does it actually support it? Marange, you said that Amarullz script should be fine, I guessed this could be the case with Mount2SD too? Excuse me if I am missing something, read through the whole thread etc.. :)

E: And which option should I choose during installation? PC-A2SD, Normal, Internal...?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Late last night and this morning I was tinkering with this. Sadly the only thing what happened was a bootloop. So I need to take a good look why this happens. We will see what I can come up with.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Amarullz is included. There are a few options and I don't know if Mount2SD is not interfering with the included scripts. Maybe someone has tried it ? The included scripts were part of Miui-AU which I included in Marange MIUI.

The option which I use is LX-D2X. Other people use Amarullz. So it depends a bit on your own preference.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Thank you very much for the prompt answer. Is the LX-D2X script that you are using very demanding on the type of SD card? I have a pretty poor SD card, this is why I'm asking. Generally I've never used data 2 something scripts since they tend to slow my device quite a bit. This is why I just like to have my apps and dalvik on the sd-ext, while keeping data where it originally is. And one more thing. I selected the stock kernel but don't see any governor settings, are they missing in stock kernel?

P.S. Also, if I want to flash new kernel/a2sd script from the aroma installer, can I just install over current instalation or do you recommend full wipe?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yes, the LX-D2X is demanding on the SD card. Out of the top of my head I don't know which of the scripts put dalvik and apps on the sd-ext partition. But it should be stated in the installer.

To change the govenor settings, just install "No Frills CPU Control" or another kernel tweak app from the market. With the app you can select another governor. And you can override the kernel/a2sd scripts without any problem. No need to wipe.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Thank you once again! Going to experiment a bit then :highfive:

chinese in lock screen and other messages

do you have chinese signs instead of the date in the lock screen, too? I have also found some more chinese in other messages / alerts.

What is your experience?
[Desire Android Development] ahmad4u:
Yes, I'm agree with you.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Xiaomi included the English language in the default theme in the latest update, so I removed my own patches. But I missed that they made Chinese the default. I included a fix for the next release. I don't know about the Chinese in other messages or alerts. Can you give me these ? Xiaomi includes a lot of changes/additions to the resources every week and sometimes they only include Chinese (even in the English resources). It is impossible to catch these all ...

On 2.8.3 version the alarm sometimes is not ringing at all (i haven't changed anything on the alarm volume or smthing).

It just flashes normally (as it should be doing when its ringing) but there is no sound at all.

I don't know if this is fixed in a later version , just wanted to inform you (again , there is no problem in the settings , some times it rings some it doesn't).
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
I'm on 2.8.3 and use my phone for alarm and had no problems with it... For me it rings every time....:)

Did you a Full-Wipe?

Thank you Marange! I will post you as soon as I find more Chinese.

One more question: How do I know if LX-D2X is running?

I have a 1GB ext-3 and selected LX-D2X but I cannot download Titanium Backup due to "out of memory".

[Desire Android Development] llfbandit:
I've only seen this behaviour on the default lockscreen and I can't tell about default apps as I don't use most of them.

I've also tried two other lockscreens (MIUI plus and sense both available online) they're almost OK with my langage set in french, english is set on. On miui plus, I got english, french and chinese :) So, specific translated, default available and specific untranslated strings...

You can check /system/data/data folder. Symbolic links should appear there.

If this is OK, you can check your folder /data/app and remove remaining odex files. Those files prevent to update or install some applications.

At least, for me it worked.

Hi,

I don't handle the translations. 1982Strand made the danish translations, and it could be that he is busy at the moment. I hope he finds the time to make a new translation.

[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
Hi marange,

on the SD card there is no /data or / system folder.

on the Desire root directory there is an empty /data folder (also no hidden files) and a /system folder with lots of subfolders except /data. I have also not found any file names containing the string "odex". Is my system screwed? Reinstall? :(
[Desire Android Development] Hun73rdk:
is there enywhere i can find somthing about translating miui ???
[Desire Android Development] llfbandit:
Sorry, I was wrong when I wrote my advise, /system/data/data doesn't exist it's /data/data.

You should have many folders and files there, linking to the /sd-ext mount folder.

Having nothing is really wierd, your phone should behave strangely and crash very often I guess.

Are you able to write in this folder? Try by copying yourself a file in it.

Also, re-reading your previous message, the error you get is strange too, it should be something like "insufficient space left" not "out of memory"...
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I'm not sure what to suggest just yet, but just for the general info; I also have nothing in /data, no files or folders, and my Desire runs just fine.. Been using LX-D2X since I started using MIUI v4.

I know the default A2SD has various terminal commands used for testing / checking settings, but I can't seem to find any executable for LX-D2X.. I'll keep digging and see what I find though.

Out of curiosity, how are the partitions set up on your SD card? I've never tried running my Desire with only an EXT* partition, but when partitioned with FAT and EXT*, the EXT partition must be the second partition.

Edit: Gregor, here's something to try.. Get Android Terminal Emulator from Play Store, it's tiny so installing shouldn't be any problem at all.

Not sure if you're familiar with *nix console commands, but let's see.. Launch it and run su (get Super User access), in the su console, type the following:

ls -la /data

The final column in the output should show you the actual location of the data files, if something is stored on your device directly, you should see some entries that show something like this after the modified date:

local -> /sd-ext/local
data_s -> /sd-ext/data_s
etc etc..

If you see entries like that, then those files are correctly linked to your sd-ext partition.

Hi!

Sorry, for a dumb question, but i couldn't quit figure out if multiple languages are included. Is there a way to get german ?

Thank you :D
[Desire Android Development] lafuri13:
I had the same problem using amarullz script. Using Lenox script I don't have any problem.

You should try this one.
[Desire Android Development] llfbandit:
I think there's misunderstanding here. Let's see the code from 03lennoxd2x script :

[SIZE="1"]#-- Now Move All system data to Internal Memory
cd /data/data/;
for i in `ls -d com.miui* com.android*`;
do
#-- Only Non Symlink
if [ "$i" == "com.android.chrome" ]
then
echo do nothing;
elif [ "$i" == "com.android.browser" ]
then
echo do nothing;
elif [ "$i" == "com.android.email" ]
then
echo do nothing;
elif [ "$i" == "com.miui.gallery" ]
then
echo do nothing;
elif [ "$i" == "com.android.providers.media" ]
then

elif [ "$i" == "com.android.providers.downloads" ]
then
echo do nothing;
elif [ "$i" == "com.android.vending" ]
then
echo do nothing;
elif [ ! -h /data/data/$i ]
then
busybox mv /data/data/$i /sd-ext/data_s/;
fi;
done;

#-- Create Symlink of /data/data_s/* to /data/data/ (mmcblk0p2)
cd /sd-ext/data_s/
for i in `ls -d *`;
do
#-- Only If Symlink Not Exists
if [ ! -h /data/data/$i ]
then
busybox ln -s /sd-ext/data_s/$i /data/data/$i
fi;
done;[/SIZE]

Are you pointing to the right place? it's /data/data.

However, the out of memory error suggests more a RAM problem (that shouldn't occur of course) so it's maybe not related directly to this A2SD method...
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
Thank you Zalith,

looks like everything is on SD. The output of the command is attached.

BTW: I have a 16GB SD-card (class 10). 1GB from that is the ext3-partition. I assume it is the second partition because I let the recovery-system create that partition.

Gregor

[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Allright, probably dumb question, but have to ask - during installation I chose the PC-A2SD option and the phone now runs exceptionally stable, not a single reboot, never get FCs etc..But my SD cards appears as USB Storage under the Manage App menu, why is this so?

P.S. Internal memory also seems very decent, installed lots of apps and still having enough internal.. Only time I get slight lag is when transitioning to home screens with big widgets such as calender, chrome bookmarks etc. But it is like it only happens sometimes, then on the next transition its butter, no issue at all. Guess thats the CPU playing tricks on me but oh well...btw using smartass v2 max frequency 1114/min 245, noop scheduler.

Would anyone suggest a better setup, given my low class SD card? I'm very happy with the way everything works, but wouldn't mind buffing things even more up!
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
Hi Marange,

thank you for your support.

/data/data dos not exist. I have /data only. It is empty. I cannot copy in there.

Currently the phone behaves ok. Hardly any crashes but currently I don't hardly play around with it.

The correct error message is: "Out of space. Tianium Backup could not be installed. Free up some space an try again."

hmm ... recently I erased all files from the SD-Card (including folders like Android, Lost.Dir ...). Many of these folders were automatically recreated. Could this have something to do with the "out of space" problem? I assumed that the ext3 partition is used for system data. ext3 I have not touched.

Regards,

Gregor
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I haven't altered anything on my Desire with regards to the init scripts.. I was simply providing some info regarding how I see mine set upp since it is working without any problems. :)

With regards to the 'executable' I mentioned, while "a2sd check" works when using the normal A2SD option, I couldn't find anything similar for LX-D2X. For the most part I was just trying to help Gregor figure out if LX-D2X was working correctly.

For the record, it seems /data/data is not actually empty after all.. I do see the symlinks with 'ls -la' on the folder, ES File Explorer shows it to be empty though (which is how I checked the first time round).

If you created it through your recovery, then it should be configured correctly. Personally, I prefer to partition my SD using a PC with a card reader, but I suppose if it works, it works. :) Which it looks like it is.

Just to check, what is the exact error you get when trying to install Titanium Backup? Also, does it only affect that app, or all apps, or more specifically large apps..? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] llfbandit:
Well, I'm not Marange just a follower of his work, so all credits to him ! ;)

As I can see in the Lennox modified script, it should have created it...

As you answered that your partition sequence is OK, I suggest you to backup your ROM, wipe all and re-install to see if it helps...
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
Hi Zalith,

the error message is "Out of space. Tianium Backup could not be installed. Free up some space an try again." (see my post above)

ES-Explorer told me that /data is empty. "ls -ls" gives me differnt view (see below).

I use total commander, not perfect but root exploring/managing works instead of ES file explorer for me. you just have to remount in RW the partitions with the appropriate icon.

In your log, I can see the data folder, you created it by yourself? It has been modified at 15:02

Can you type "df -h" and log it?
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
This is rather strange.. I'd have to agree with llfbandit though, perhaps a full wipe and reinstall might help. :confused:

If you do try that, select 'Custom' install and just re-select all your options again. Then once the installer has completed, I'd suggest you save the installer log to your SD card just in case (it doesn't save by default). I'm not sure if the log would show anything helpful, but there is a chance that it might.

After the first boot, check how much free space you have in Settings > Apps before you install anything, then try Titanium Backup first. If it is using your sd-ext partition correctly, Titanium Backup should show it's size separate to your other partitions. I can't really think of anything else to suggest right now though..

Just my opinion...

Hi, before let my opinion, accept my congratulations for your effort and amazing job with this ROM.

For what I've been reading and watching this aims to be one of the best ICS ROM's I've seen, but... Why the iphone look?

As an Android fan, the last thing I'do like is to have an imitation of the iphone... If I want something like an iphone, I probably buy one. In fact I hate ihone. I hate all the marketing around such over cost device...

If you somehow think in have a native good looking android version, including all the icons and a good draw, I'll probably declare (as a user of course) your ROM the best ever made and good looking ROM.

Once more, and apart from the look and style, thanks for your effort and congratulations for your job.

Besta regards.

[Desire Android Development] marange:
One day away from the computer and a lot of talk :). Thanks for everyone who pitched in in this to help.

Ok, about Titanium. Very strange problem. I never had this problem. It could be a problem with the chosen SD-ext script, but then it is strange that only Titanium is giving this problem.

First, the script is not running constantly. It is using at start up to create mount points to the SD-card. After this the script is not used anymore until a reboot/restart of the phone. That's why it is very difficult to use the a2sd program, because it interferes with the included scripts (and that's why I removed it). So to solve this, I think the only solution is a reinstall with a complete wipe. You could use MIUI Backup and see if can make a backup with it. Sometimes it gives an error when restoring, but the second time it then works. Use CUSTOM SETTINGS when reinstalling and check if all the settings are correct.

Marange
