Oh, i thought miui have a build in autostart control? =-O

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire mit Tapatalk 2
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
It has. It is called "Manage App Auto start".
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

There is an option in MIUI to select which apps start at startup. In permissions, select the apps tab and click on an app you want to change. The is an option "Autostart permission", which can be allowed or denied. This should help you with this. But take care in what you enable or disable.

I use the same cpu control settings. Maybe they can be tweaked a bit better, but I don't have enough knowledge about this. These settings work for me. And I don't know if JB has a controller. I never installed nikez version, so maybe someone else can tell more about this.

[Desire Android Development] marange:
Thanks for the link. Will look at it and see how to incorporate it in the build.

Disabling CPU Rendering

I tried this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877183

It disable the CPU rendering. You can try by yourself with the flashable zip ;)

It really works well. My battery last longer.

There is a few wakup lags on the homescreen. But most of the time, everything is better. Like Facebook doesn't show anymore "App not responding". There is no more lag when using the soft keyboard.

If you are using a Desire, I really recommend you to try it. Moreover if you use Marrange's Rom, I tried it, it don't break ;)

There is no overheat, it's fine :)
[Desire Android Development] SilverRanger:
I've tried the CPU rendering patch, although it's faster it does fc a few apps, so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone
[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:
Then i can't wait for your next release! :)
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Just wanna say thanks to all Desire users. I'm now a moderator at the official MIUI forums, along with some great community members, and its thanks to the support of the Desire guys that I got into it so cheers :D
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
I recommend you to use rom toolbox for auto start manager :)
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Congrats Lenny :) Follower of MiuiAu. Only until marange took over ;) But thoroughly deserved :)
[Desire Android Development] oOskizzoOo:
if i can give my feedback there is to do some improvement in dialer and in lockscreen/wake up...is a bit laggy..can some one improve it or patch?

Congrats man, well deserved.

[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi Lenny,

Congratulations. I will come over and take a look...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
This is a known issue in Miui. Other phones have the same problem and Xiaomi will address it when then think it is time to do it ... and don't forget ... Xiaomi did speedup the ROM already and I am sure they will find some more speed in the future.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:
Really really hope you'll soon post new version...no other version equal miui by marange. Tested 4.1.1 but has huge bugs!

p.s. congrats to Lenny for becoming mod on miui forum!
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Just made some small changes, which I need to test a bit more. If these work as planned, I will make a release soon.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:
just a little question...if i would like to upgrade from a 2.9.7 to 2.9.x, what i should do?

Miui Backup

3 Wipes

Install Rom

Restore

Is that the right way?

Thanks...
[Desire Android Development] marange:
If you are going to another build of marange MIUI (not another build from someone else), my way of doing things is:

- make nand backup

- install ROM (no wipes)

- if it works ... then ok

- otherwise restore nand backup, make backup (I use titanium), wipe, install ROM and see if it works.

Doing backups, wiping and reinstalling backups when testing is just to time consuming :)

I noticed that most of the time no wipe is needed. But note that this is my way of doing things ;).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:
Thanks for the infos...

No, i have a miui backup of your 2.8.3, so now when 2.9.14 will be ready i'll throw away nikez 4.1.1 and switch on miui again :P

P.s. do you think is better to buying titanium pro (4.99€) license or continue using miui backup?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Sadly today and the next few days are very busy and I don't have enough time to make a 2.9.14 release (before the 2.9.21 is released), so I opt to skip this release and hope to release the 2.9.21 soon afterwards.

About titanium. I just use it from before I switched to miui. And kept using it. I don't know if it is really needed to switch to titianium. Maybe some other people have an opinion about this ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] oOskizzoOo:
what about titanium..

when i do i batch restore ive to stay near the phone and press install for every app.. there is way to by him self? for exampre in miui backup or go backup then you selected system settings and app you wanto to restore, it goes alone and restore all .. it is possible in titanium?(i think it's possibile but i dont now how..)
[Desire Android Development] 3raser:
I have the Premium version of Titanium Backup but since i use MIUI again i like to use MIUI backup. MIUI backup is very simple in design but it does everything you need. It even remembers the position of your app icons in your home screens. I also noticed that with TB i always try to backup and restore my Wifi accesspoints, but this never really worked. MB restores all your system data like it should.

One side-note: if you use your Google account for storing contacts and calendar items don't use MIUI backup to restore them!! When you do, all items will be double! So don't restore data that your Google account will restore for itself (contacts, calendar, email).
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
You need Titanium Backup Pro. If you already have it, then you have to select "processing mode" (or something similar) to Direct; uder preferences.

I use both Titanium and MIUI backup. Maybe MIUI backup is enough for most users, but Titanium has LOTS of features (you can choose restoring data, app, or app + data, integrate updates of system apps into ROM, batch uninstall and other actions...) that are very useful for me.

And to avoid any kind of problem (although I think there wouldn't be) I use Titanium to backup user apps and some system apps, but for system settings and this things I use MIUI (icons desktop, contacts, SMS, wifi passwords...)
[Desire Android Development] anneliese:
Anyone found a nice iPhone theme that doesn't crash the phone? (All iPhone themes tested so far crash this ROM when trying to make a phone call)
[Desire Android Development] 3raser:
I use "Suave Redone" combined with this icon pack.
[Desire Android Development] microshiroku:
Its not work, makes me keep boot looping, what should i do?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
If it keeps boot looping, restore the nand backup (you did make a backup ?). Other wise try to reinstall the original rom and see it if boots then. Do not wipe!

Marange
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I'm sorry; it's strange cause for me worked perfectly. What hboot are you using? Maybe you ran out of memory in /system.

Try wiping cache+dalvik and rebooting or, as marange already told, restore your nandroid.

If you don't have a nandroid I can post a restore .zip with the original framework.jar
[Desire Android Development] zank19:
I am having a strange problem with 2.9.7 the latest uptil now:

The mic gets mute on itself (I guess) sometimes when you answer the phone. It is not shown as "mute" in the call options, so user is left with nothing to do. You can clearly hear the other party talking, but he cant hear you. A phone restart solves the problem. And this is happening pretty randomly I guess, have been encountered 3 times in my testing during last 5 days. And that too with clean install and stock setup (without installing any other software/apps).

Apart of that the ROM runs pretty good. Its not super fast and stable yet, but still my Desire runs the ICS now, in the best possible way then with other currently available ROMs.

Some minor issues also occurring includes, frequent crashing of MIUI Home, Messaging app, but there is nothing serious. It reloads again itself and works fine then after the prompt of FC/crash. Can you suggest me some good and really "light-weight" Launcher in place of MIUI Home builtin? I was previously using Go Launcher and really liked that, will that run good with this ROM too? I need fast processing as a daily user.

I am using PC-A2SD (App+Dalvik on ext3) and I have now loads of software installed from the last 24 hours, and over a day usage I have found that the ROM runs pretty decently but the battery consumption is also over a little more (as compared to my previous GB MIUI stable build). But the difference is not that much. Though it can be improved I think.

Overall a great ICS ROM that really and actually works! Great job boss. I know with time these things will get improved.

But I am a little concerned about the call getting mute issue, as I didnt see any other one facing this issue. Can you kindly help me out in this please?

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] oOskizzoOo:
Marange,

what knowledge is needed to make the developer? or at least to be able to help?

i've not lot of time but if it falls in my ability I'd like to give you a help..
[Desire Android Development] microshiroku:
I don't know why, already tried to wipe cache and dalvik it's still not work.

I use hboot 0.93.0001 ..

Yes please upload the original framework, i would be appreciated.

Thank you so much..
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Here you have; if still not work then I don't know what could have been wrong :confused:
[Desire Android Development] zank19:
Interestingly I can not access the a2sd command over the Terminal Console after the SU access.

My setup is PC-A2SD, Apps+Dalvik on the ext3

Whats wrong? How to do this...?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
There is no a2sd command. PC-A2SD does everything for you. Works full automatic.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
How I started (I am a programmer by profession I must add) is that I setup a buildmachine. I use Linux (server version, no desktop is needed, commandline works best) and I advise to use Linux if you want to use patchrom. It is possible to do it on other platforms, but it does make life easier ;). Then install repo and sdk. And download patchrom thru repo (initially it takes a long, long time). And then start patching. It does take a lot of time to start getting into patchrom, but it is rather logical ...

So to help, you'll need to be able to build the rom yourself. I can give you some help with this. But it will take a lot of your spare time ;).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] zank19:
Uh thanks. But how do I will mess up with the things then? Like using a2sd switches to move Dalvik in and out of internal memory, switching data folders in and out etc.

I am just curious...? :)
[Desire Android Development] zank19:
Any help for that call voice issue for me?

And any suggestions for choosing a launcher with this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
The chosen sd-ext script will do that for you. This is a leftover from miui-au, which was used as a base for the installer. And at the moment I will keep it this way, because of stability. No option to mess up things ;).

To setup the sd-ext in another way, chose one of the other scripts. There is no other way of tinkering with it (without changing the installer yourself).

Maybe this will change in the future.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
The call issue is very strange. I never had this. Never even a report. Also looking at the instability of MIUI home ... did you restore a GB backup ? I am sorry, but I have no clue why this happens.

I always use MIUI home. I don't have experience with other launchers. I did get a report that Go launcher gives reboots (also on other ICS builds), thou.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] zank19:
Their wasn't any sort of backup/restore, just plain full-wipe installation, and without any call related software. I today also got the same issue again, restarting the phone got it solved.

Though I always keep the built-in call recording option "ON" by default for every call. Can this be the culprit?

Thanks for the Launcher related comment, but I will definately try GO Launcher in a day or two, and let you people know about the results also. GO Launcher by look and feel is very sleek, clean and professional, that is why I prefer it.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] wigankev:
I have installed this rom and it doesn't even go past the HTC boot screen. Anyone else having this issue?
[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:
Please correct...you have badly installed this rom, so it doesn't even go past the HTC boot screen...

Try the 3 wipes from cwm and retry!
[Desire Android Development] marange:
What is the format of the ext partition ? Did you select the correct one in the installer ? If you did it correctly, it should boot. Otherwise please give me a logcat.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] wigankev:
Was ext 3 going to try ext 4 now.
[Desire Android Development] crojl:
I need to choose ext2 in the installer but i have it in format ext3. same problem otherwise as you.
[Desire Android Development] wigankev:
I tried ext4 and it worked this time. Rom up and running :)
[Desire Android Development] oOskizzoOo:
I understand..maybe we'll do a little thought farther on..at the moment i'm student(computer engigneering) and i work as a web designer..and the time is not enough to do all..i'have to graduate me..

This problem is bugging us all in Pakistan a lot since the YouTube ban..... All Google services are non responsive or sluggish... Don't know if it's universal....

[Desire Android Development] fatcon:
Marange,

This is probably a more general question than strictly associated with the rom, but it might help me diagnose why things aren't working.

When i initially rooted my desire i went through the gparted process to make an extra partition. I can't remember whether i did ext 2 or ext 4. Is the way to check? When i connect the phone/sd card using gparted it fails to recognize anything. Is there an app that might be able to confirm how i've split it? Had a play with 4ext but could make any sense.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:
Hi marange, first of all let me thank you for your continue precious work!

I saw that there are many extensions to add after rom is installed...could you please tell me if there are important changes by adding these installation or i can simply put the rom without them and play?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] fire_kid2003:
Use 4EXT touch Recovery

It can tell u the partiton type and sizes
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I had the same issue a few weeks ago. And after a time it just started to work again. I think it is a google issue, but I have no idea why.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I had the same problem when I started with MIUI Au. In the end I just reformated the sd-ext, so that I knew what the format was :). I don't know 4ext, so I don't know how that works.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
You're welcome.

The extensions are only changes/patches on the original build. You can run the ROM without the extensions. I only use the softkey+hardware lights patch, because my keys are getting a bit worn out.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
To be honest ... I have no idea. I just included the patch in the build and installed it as a test, but I don't know how it works exactly. It disables some caching, but I don't know if it also works in the launcher.

Anyone know why ? and how I would be able to get this patch like in the past versions? since its missing from the aroma installer...

Hi marange. I appreciate much your work and I love this rom.

With the latest release, however, I got a problem: while in the messagge app, the screen doesn't rotate in landscape mode. I don't know if I'm missing some setting, but the fact is that is the only application in which this problem appear.

I've tried installing the ICS search patch extension numerous times but nothing?

I've tried installing the ICS search patch extention numerous times but after I reboot the search button still opens up the search function as if I didn't flash anything in recovery at all ???

Any help in resolving this issue?

Would love to get the search to ics recent apps function working but since its been removed from aroma installer and put in the OP as a extension, after flashing extension separately, doesn't change a thing...
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Correct. To clean up my build process I decided to move the search to recent apps to the extensions. Very strange that it does not work for you. I will look into this and upload a fix when I broke it somehow.

[Desire Android Development] marange:
I read about this issue also with other ROMS, so I think this is something Xiaomi did. I don't know why and if it is changed back in a next release.

USB Tethering

Hi Guys

Just thought I'd point you all to a real gem I've found for wired USB tethering that is successfully working on my Desire.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/

As far as I'm aware, all ICS & Jelly Bean ROMs for HTC Desire break USB tethering, this app is free and appears be working really well. It's also open source so I wonder if theres anyway of integrating this into this ROM?

Working USB Tethering for HTC Desire

1. Download & Install HTC Sync

2. Download & Install on your phone "android-wired-tether" from the URL above.

3. (ensure USB Debugging is off) Settings > Complete Settings (tab) > Developer Options > USB Debugging (should be unchecked)

4. Connect usb cable (ensure it's a proper USB data cable, i.e. not a car charging cable)

5. Start the Wired tether app and press the screen to start tethering.

Hope that helps for people who are needing to tether.
[Desire Android Development] jordan87:
Hi marange

I have one question. Do you use some specyfic MIUI port from other HTC device?

I'm asking because I wanna try to use multilang file from here http://miuipolska.pl/download/ to add polish translation to your rom :)

THX
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

No, I make my ROM with patchrom and is not ported over from another HTC device. And I would be cautious to install the translation from this website because the polish translation for the desire is for an older version and you'll probably get trouble when apps cannot find the resources. Also installing the translation from another phone is not a "good thing" to do. Maybe miuipolska can update the translations to the latest version ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:
Did you Try the app before posting it?
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Still, its maranges choice to make.... i personally think that COS ICS gets updates more often, but as the kernel is the same from evervolv, so either is ok with me.... I'm just waiting very anxiously for miui on 0.7 base....
[Desire Android Development] marange:
It cost a lot of time to get a base rom patched, so that it works with MIUI. At the moment there is no reason to start doing the whole job again with another base ROM. At the moment I can't even get a working build from the 0.7 sandvold baserom (it builds, but bootloops).

That said I do have a working 2.5.11 build based on the 0.5.4 base rom. I did put some things from the 0.7 over (like a working barcode scanner/panorama) and some other tweaks. Only thing that needs to be done is some small fixes in the installer, to get data++ and cm7 hboot working correctly. After Lenny_kano and I fix these, I can release the 2.5.11 build. So hopefully tomorrow or the day after.
