Hi,

I think the transitions are rather fluently (for a phone which never got ICS (from HTC) or Miui (from Xiaomi) officially), but there is still a little speed to gain (I guess). I am tinkering with a new base and that is not easy. if it was I would have already switched.

I am working on a switch to BCM 4.0U1. I got a bunch of patches in and I got it to boot, and after the pincode, it reboots back to pin, reboot ... etc ... So there is still a lot to do. ;) I don't know when (if!) it will be ready for release, but I am working on it (when not sick :( ). And I know that version 4.1U2 is out, but I could not get that one to boot at all, so I continue with 4.0U1 and switch later to 4.1U2 (when I ever get a release of the 4.0U1 ready!). I noticed that most of the patches work on both releases (the code is not that different, more additions then modifications).

About my personal situation ? I find this a rather rude question (I don't think you intended the question as rude, but still). IMHO it is not very nice to ask someone who spent a lot of his/her time on something (and gives it for free!), to ask about his/her commitment. If, when and for how long I continue is something I will decided for myself. When I switch to another phone I will decided if I continue with Marange MIUI on the desire or not. I do this for fun, and I will continue this for as long as I can, like, have fun.

So have fun and don't think about what you get next, but more about what you have now. ;)

Hi,

Thanks for the logcat. Strange error.

I don't understand your previous message. Do you mean that you can reproduce the problem or not ? Is so can you tell me how to reproduce it (or if not, ask the person with the problem how to reproduce it).

Later,

[Desire Android Development] marange:
I did read Lenny's posting, but I will answer also :).

I have just read about it and I see that it is not even near completion. So even if it MIUI was possible on JB, then it would still be useless with the current state of the Nikez release (but he did already a very good job and he will get there).

But as Lenny already remarked, I don't make MIUI. I just port it (with the help of patchrom) to the desire. If Xiaomi decides to use JB as a base (and we get a working base of the desire), then there is a change to get it to work (I think). But I will not attempt to patch MIUI into JB by hand. Ever.

This as also the reason why switching bases is so much work. Xiaomi bases MIUI on a certain android ICS base state. The sandvold 0.8.1 release looked a lot as the base Xiaomi is using, so patchrom did it's job and patched the base a lot (still needed to fix all the rejects and missing patches). I noticed that later sandvold and nikez releases have more changes, so need a lot more patching. And the extra patches are also needed for BCM, so that's why I made a test build to see if a switch is even possible. As a wrote above, a got a build booting, but a lot of patches are missing/incorrect. So a lot of work is still needed and this is a one man operation (to be honest, more of a 1.5 man operation now, Strand1982 is helping a lot with testing and patching, but he is still learning ;). But he is a fast learer. He will get there sooner then later. When he has time to work on it. :laugh:).

[Desire Android Development] marange:
I don't know why you have some much problems. I don't think 2.7.6-2 will be any faster, because nothing changed in that department. If your phone/2.6.29 is slow, then there much be another reason, because my phone is fast enough. When pushing the button, the screen comes up immediately. No problems there. Also I don't get that many FC and random reboots. My phone is rather stable as I may say so.

Did you full wipe when installing the 2.6.29 version ? What is the kernel you are using ? Other settings ? If you switch to 1982Strand's settings, so you still have a slow phone ?

[Desire Android Development] ph87:
I'm glad to hear that its better with you...:)

Sorry I forgot to give a better description...

Turn Wlan on...

Go to Settings>>Wlan>> then tap on the arrow right to the Wlan name>>

At the IP-Settings switch from DHCP to static>>the FC appears while changing the network prefix length...

I tested it at my parents house, there I got an FC allready while switching from DHCP to static... then tested it at home again and it worked fine...

Maybe it depends on the constellation of the Router/Network settings you use...(just an idea)

[Desire Android Development] marange:
I just tried and I don't have a problem. It works when I switch from DHCP to static, when changing network prefix length. Whatever I try.

No problem here.

I think you are right and this could be something related to the router/network settings you get from the DHCP server. Maybe something is not set (which doesn't give any trouble with DHCP), but which MIUI thinks that it should be set. Problem is that when I cannot reproduce it, then it is very tricky to solve. Hope you can get me some more information.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
That's basic all exactly what i said :p

I'm sure by the time they update miui to v4.1, nikez build will be fairly complete, and who better to port it to the desire than you? :D

Can someone cross-test?

Always did a full wipe and never restored backup (apps or settings). Apps are slow to launch, most of the time I get the message "(name of the app) is not responding". Well, I'm a little tired, don't remember exactly the settings; I'm using Shaky's kernel and Lennox A2SD (something like that) with dictionary pack, agps. Anyway batterie life is very poor, that's why I use it not for too long (somebody told me that the screen consumes 15% per hour, wow). I only have 27 apps installed, so I don't think apps are the reason of this lack.

Is this normal that the memory home (when pushing home button for few seconds) always show only 120~100 mo of free ram ? I think that MIUI is not too "light" for a smooth and best experience, anyway.

Thanks. Maybe I need your advices for a good configuration/optimization.

Some configuration details of my device are below.

Running out of space

Hi,

Hope someone can help me with this. I've installed the ROM with the apps2sd only option (I've tried the others, but they are all too laggy resulting in lots of fc's) and now I find that I have barely and internal storage space at all... almost as though apps2sd isn't working. Is there something else I need to do here? For most other roms I've installed apps2sd just works.

Any ideas would be appreciated, it a great rom and I'd like to continue using it.

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
Hey

which hboot do you use? I have data hboot and no space problems.

When you use titanium backup or an app like quickinfo you can easy see, if your ext is mounted/used or not!

Greetz soronk
[Desire Android Development] Tung_meister:
I was just about to ask the same question, I've installed using apps2sd with dalvik cache option but I've only got 148mb internal storage listed, as my sd-ext partition is 1GB it's clearly not being used. What do i need to do to sort this? I've tried the other options but I found them to be too laggy aswell, for some reason standard apps2sd just isn't working.
[Desire Android Development] PlayGrandPa:
I flashed 2.6.22. All thing is going on well, but the following,

1. Sometimes when i pressed power button to turn off and lock the screen, the screen turned off firstly, but it lit again.

2. And when i pressed power button to turn on the screen, the screen lit firstly, but blacked again.

3. The Gallery App has FCs

Great rom. thanks to Marange.
[Desire Android Development] hellbrandt:
Hi Soronk,

Thanks for the reply. I'm using stock HBOOT - I can see using Titanium Backup that my ext4 partition is mounted, but it still seems to eat the internal memory. I've since used Titanium to integrate Sys Dalvik into the ROM, that freed up about 30Mb.

I might try the data++ HBOOT instead, I believe that gives more internal memory by default anyway.

Cheers

Hellbrandt
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Try to activate A2SD by entering a superuser command with Terminal app (juts google how to activate A2SD). You should stay on Stock HBOOT, it's more stable and space-free than DATA++ HBOOT.
[Desire Android Development] Tung_meister:
I've tried this but it appears that a2sd is missing as the command is returning a 'not found'.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Ok, I had this problem too with my bro HTC HD2 on MIUI. I did a fullwipe, checked ext-partition and then reflashed. Since that moment, everything works fine.
[Desire Android Development] Tung_meister:
I've tried that, I've wiped, tried different sizes of sd-ext and ext3 or 4 and it's still not working.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

I need to look into this. Maybe I messed up the apps2sd option. I don't know, but I will see what is going on.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

The flashing looks like an issue in the sandvold base. I read that people noticed that also in the sandvold base. I will see if it also occurs in the BCM base (when I can get it to stay in the launcher, instead of rebooting ;) ).

The FCs in Gallery are known. At least the one where, when a menu is shown and no option is clicked, the phone reboots after the menu remove animation is almost at the end. This one is a tricky one and strand1982 and I are looking for this one, but no success at the moment.

If you mean other FC's, please let me know.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Maybe something broke in the apps2sd option. I need to look into this.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] paul1508:
Could you look into the no mute issue too please?

Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
That is for DarkTremors a2sd, which isn't in this rom (Afaik)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ok, missed the posting. Of course I will look into this.

Hi,

can anybody confirm if the following ealier issues from earlier versions have been solved?

1. stuttering in the video recording (it was a known issue in the base ROM)

2. I use T9 in the telephone app to call a contact. F. e. I press 7, 6 for S, M to call "Smith". How can I call contacts with (german) "Umlaute", f. e. Jörg, Müller, Jäschke.

These contacts are never displayed.

3. Phone reboots when I have headphones connected and initiate a call as soon as the other party accepts the call. This issue was solved in 2.6.1 but reoccured in later versions.

Regards,

Gregor07
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi.

1) the video is still stutter (as you said, this is an issue in the base ROM and not solvable by me).

2) this is fixed. Included a patch to solve it.

3) could you give me a log cat for this problem ? Never had it. But I don't use the headphones a lot, but when I use them I don't have a problem. But mostly I am the receiver of the phone call and not the initiator.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ok, this problem is also in the 2.7.20 version. I need to look into it a bit more, but as 1982Strand said, I do think it is a MIUI issue. I will see if I can figure it out, but I don't know, if it is a miui issue, that I can fix it before Xiaomi ;).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

Is this an issue specific to my ROM ? Or is it an issue in an app ? Or... ? Some more information would be handy.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] mikep99:
Hi Marange,

This isn't a problem with your ROM. After a bit of googling it appears that Facebook contacts phone numbers can't be sync'ed in ICS. Something to do with Facebook and Google not being the best of friends :)

So, nothing for you to worry about :)

Thanks for this great ROM!!!
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ok. One thing less to worry about ;). Thanks for this information.

Everything working a-ok

I am having just one problem that my sms tones is mute

i SOund option my volumes are turned high but still not sms tone

i selected the loudest tone there is but when sms arrives, my phone doesnt ring
[Desire Android Development] microshiroku:
Me too, chat notification too, it happens when phone is locked and idle. but it will start ring when im trying unlock the screen.

And the phone still laggy when switching into other screen or application, ex contact and sms.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

I can confirm the issue. I found the problem and it has something to do with the media libraries used (I updated them with another version, because of some video issues in a app). I will investigate some more and revered back to the old libraries when I cannot find another solution (but that means that an app does not work :( ).

NOTE: After some more testing and selecting another sound, it looks like it does work. Some sounds are very soft, but selecting another sound it sounds when receiving/sending a SMS.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ok, I included the previous libraries again, and now the issue is not there anymore :(. I still get sound when an SMS is send/received. I did notice that some sounds are very soft. Can you try to select another sound and see if it works ?

Thanks,

Phone doesnt ring when idle and screen off

Not even vibrate works

I hope you find the solution soon
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Vibration does work for sure on my phone (but I am on a 2.7.20 (test) version), and I do get sound. So it could be a MIUI issue which is fixed in 2.7.13/2.7.20. I will look some more and see if I can make a release soon.

If I understand correctly, you are using K9-mail as a mail reader ? Can you not use the standard Email client on MIUI ? At least try to see if the default email client works ? Only thing I can imagine is a setup issue or a problem with K9. I don't know K9, but the default email client works.

[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Are you using wifi or data when opening the app? Try clearing data from the app, disconnect from wifi and re-open the app. (Or vice versa depending on how you connected the first time)

If that doesn't do it, delete the account, reboot, then re-register. :)

Install SetCPU or NoFrill CPU from that play store and change the CPU governor. You got a BSOD (Black Screen of Death), that happens with ondemmand governor.

As for that language patch... sorry can't really help you there.

Version 2.7.20 uploaded

The is the patchrom build of MIUI v4 (ICS) 2.7.20 for the HTC Desire. It is based on:

Sandvold's ICS 0.8.1 ROM (Android 4.0.4) as a base (thanks to Sandvold)

Aroma/MIUI-Au installer (thanks to Amarullz and Lennox)

patchrom MIUI v4 2.7.20

CHANGELOG for 2.7.20 (since 2.7.6)

Included all the patches from 2.7.13

Included all the patches from 2.7.20

Fixed the "missing" permission apps

Swapped the (baidu) NetworkLocation.apk with the google one (from 2.6.22)

Cleanup of some code/patches

Included the 0.15.0.1 boot (incl. newest Drewis kernel/hwa drivers)

Updated the tiamat kernel with the version from sandvold 0.15.0.1

Included the BCM 4.0 Update 1 stock kernel (also uses the new hwa drivers)

Included a2sd. Use with care (and select "Internal" in the installer) [SEE BELOW] Unusable. Missing 10apps2sd script

NOTE FOR 2.7.20

- DON'T USE a2sd

Secondly. I included the boot.img and kernels from 0.15.0.1. The stock kernel now also uses the new hwa drivers. I also included the BCM 4.0U1 kernel which also uses the hwa drivers. The tiamat kernel is also upgraded from the 0.15.0.1.

Also I got the "System UIDs Inconsistent" issue again. So make a backup and full wipe before install.

And as I said before, the ringtones work for me. Just test the new version. Make a nand backup and install. If you have issues, recover your previous version and report the issues.
