Cannot change alarm ringtone in 2.7.20

When I try to change the ringtone for the alarm in 2.7.20, I get this error message: “Unfortunately, Themes has stopped.” Same thing if I try to add a new alarm. Existing alarms at least retain their ringtones, but new ones are stuck with the default.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
This looks like a MIUI issue. I don't have it in the 2.7.27 test version, so it looks fixed.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I think this is an issue in the base ROM. People reported it also for the sandvold base, so I guess it was ported over from the base ROM.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] aelfinn:
Perfect. Thanks for a very good job on this ROM – 2.7.20 is a joy to use. Using tiamat’s kernel, seems noticeably faster than 2.6.22.
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
Marange, sorry I forgot to mention what kernel I'm using. It's shaky kernel. Everytime I press the home button I get the launcher making a gfx glitch and it looks like it is restarting the launcher.

I installed 2.7.20 using the tiamat kernel but the browser and rendering was so slow. So I installed over the same install (with same settings) but with the Shaky kernel and everything works fine, the rendering/scrolling/zooming speed is so much smoother in the browser, but getting launcher glitch as described above. Could this be because of the install over original install? I thought it would have just replaced the tiamat kernel with the Shaky one and all be fine...
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
The alarm works for me with 2.7.20 have just tested to add a new alarm and changing the ringtone... no issues with that!

[Desire Android Development] gosicnarf:
I had a similar glitch before but I'm not sure what fixed it, here's what I did...

1. On Launcher Settings, I turned On the Icon shadow then clicked home.. Flicked through the screens few times and then Turned Off the Icon shadow.

2. Developer Options, Turned On Force GPU Rendering. Turned Off Show Rounded Corners, Set the animation scale to 5x for both Window animation Scale and Transition Animation Scale.

I'm using BCM kernel now but I did the same when I was using Shaky's kernel and somehow it fixed that home launcher glitch.

Try it, hope it works...

Goodluck
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
Unfortunately no luck. Still the same.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ok. Missed this message (just to busy with real life stuff, and the olympics ;), at the moment).

It is a very strange thing. Never had it. I don't think it has anything to do with the kernel. Also install it over the same version should not give you this effect. I noticed that the suggestions of gosicnarf (thanks for the suggestions) don't help you. Only thing I can think of is to reinstall the ROM with a full wipe. Just make a backup (with titanium) and eventually, just to be save, a nandroid backup. Then do a full wipe and reinstall the ROM. Then restore the titanium backup and see if that solved the problem.

First start of 2.7.20

Hi MArange,

after the first start of the rom I had multiple issues:

- all the apps crashes at opening.

- every change for the launcher : animation , button options .. make it crash

- all sounds in silent, when trying to change it > crash.

I did a catlog of it here is it AfterInstall.txt

After restarting the phone, it seems that everything works properly. and If anything happens I'll make a logcat for it :D

Question: marange have you started porting Jelly bean or not yet ? :fingers-crossed:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

I have no idea what happened here. There are a lot of crashes in the log and mentioning of read-only filesystem. Did you restore a backup ? Hope the system will keep running without trouble.

And I have no spare time left, working and trying to keep up with MIUI, so I will not even think about JB. And Nikez is doing a great job, so if/when Xiaomi has ported MIUI over to JB (and they decide if/when they are going to do it) and there is a stable base ROM, I will look into it. But that is a long way off.

So please no more mentions about JB (I am already tired trying to keep up with Xiaomi) ;).

FTP from File Manager no longer possible

I've just noticed that the FTP server feature of the Filemanager application is gone!

I use it all the time with Windows explorer - to drag and drop files to/from the phone.

I guess MIUI decided that their "MIDRIVE" service was more useful 8-(

Sadly I have now had to install "FTP Server" from the market.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
No need. Here is the very same application (mi file explorer) with some enhancements and can be used on any rom. And yes, it has an FTP option:

Hi, the rom is litterally crashed down after that when I downloaded facebook messenger, rebooted but never loaded again. I don't know what's going on. I did a full wipe ( I always do for every new release setup ) I reinstalled it , waiting for boot up to 30 minutes and took off the battery and tryed again .... nothing, still stuck at boot screen. I couldnt make any logcat for that , really sorry.

so I restored a backup and I'll try later

Very strange. For me the ROM is rather stable. Only think I can imagine is a corruption in the SD-card. Maybe in the ext-partition. Otherwise I have no clue at all.

[Desire Android Development] fatcon:
With regards to the above does this refer to everything apart from Internal? Latest version of ROM has been working very well just a lack of space for apps using Internal (my original frustration with the Desire)

Would any of the other apps 2 sd alternatives in the list work?

Thanks as always
[Desire Android Development] gosicnarf:
The problem with the first two apps2sd is that it only moves the application(apk) or/and dalvik-cache to the sd-ext and the data remains in your internal memory. Well, the data grows so it will complain about not having enough space overtime...

I used Lennox (Amarullz) and it works wonders... I modified the script a little bit based on what Lennox have posted before so it also moves the data of the following (providers.media, providers.downloads, android.vending) to sd-ext.

providers.media consumes a lot of data space if you have lots of media files on your sd (such as mp3, photos etc) while the providers.downloads and android.vending consumes more temporarily when you install apps from the market, this will cause an error if you don't have enough space while it downloads the app.

I have attached the updated script, just unzip the file to (/customise/scripts/) before you flash the ROM.

Try this, I'm sure this will solve the not enough space problem...

Be warned, switching from one app2sd to another requires a clean install (reset/delete all data and settings) otherwise it will cause problems.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
[Desire Android Development] fatcon:
Thanks Gosicnarf, can you give me a bit more detail about the above, is this something i would do in clockworkmod recovery?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] noonamer:
correct will be used not thats code:

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" ]

better use that:

then

if [ "$i" != "com.android.chrome" ] || [ "$i" != "com.android.browser" ] || ... && [ ! -h /data/data/$i ]
then
busybox mv /data/data/$i /sd-ext/data_s/;
fi;

sorry for that reply)))) i only want to show u better way)

@fatcon he only fix some issues n create new symlinks for some folders)

u cant use it from recovery, only u can include into rom before flashing, but i think @gosicnarf can create Flashable version for it, its not hard)
[Desire Android Development] gosicnarf:
You have to extract all the files and folders of the ROM zip file. Then extract the file "03lennoxd2x" from the zip file (03lennoxd2x.zip) to (/customise/scripts/).

Zip the ROM files then flash in recovery.

Again, this requires a clean install so you have to (wipe data/factory reset) before you flash the ROM.

Good luck :)

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 AM ----------

Hi noonamer, thanks for the tip.

However, creating just a flashable zip is not recommended since he's switching from one a2sd to another. This will cause problems so it is recommended to do a clean install.

Thanks. :)

Has Xiaomi turned off the ability to theme the notification bar for Miui V4 or is something not working for me?

Also I would like to know which is the best Kernel to choose in terms of smoothness/stability and battery life?

I've used Shaky's Kernel for the last build and currently Using BCM Kernel but while BCM Kernel is noticeably faster it reboots about x2 more during a full on days use and the battery is pretty bad, only get about 4 hours of listening to music and couple of messegers about 5 phones calls each about 2-5 minutes long...

So far from personal experience Shaky's seemed better but I haven't tried the other ones... Would like to get other peoples experiences and opinons.

Also would like to ask if theres ANY way to change kernel without loosing all the ROM settings?

Do i HAVE to do a FULL wipe to change kernel or can i just wipe dalvik cache etc?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I thought I included the change that lennox made in his script, but it looks like I forgot to update it in my build. I will include this in the next build. Then it will be usable for everyone :).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Oops. Sorry, I read it, but forgot about it. At the moment to much on my mind and not enough time to handle everything. Still a week ( :silly: ) to go and then vacation and some time to continue tinkering with the ROM (and a lot of real life stuff).

About the whatsapp. I think it is an issue with whatsapp/miui (or ICS). I think that whapsapp switches to the settings for the sound switch, but the settings are a bit different for MIUI (or ICS). This is not something I can fix easy I think. I don't think I can change whapapp about how it handles the sound settings. I will see what other implementations are doing.

Could you give me a logcat about the VPN stuff. I think it is a MIUI issue, but maybe a patch of mine is having a problem. Sadly I don't have the option to use VPN so it is a bit difficult to test it.

And I shall see what I can find about the hardware button light. I don't know if it is part of the base ROM or a MIUI issue, so I need to look where this is handled. But no promises. As I wrote above, spare time is very limited at the moment.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I use the shaky kernel. I did use the other ones, but did not really notice a lot of differences. So because I already did use shaky's so I switched back. Maybe someone has other experiences ?

And you can change kernel, by just running the installer again and select the 'keep current settings' (or something like that, at the moment my mind is already asleep, for most of the day to be honest. Just need a vacation soon!). Or select custom settings, but don't change anything with exception of the kernel. Maybe I will change the installer in the "far" future, to include an option to only change the kernel.

And I never did any wipe (not even dalvik) when I switch kernels. So problem there. Maybe other people have other experiences, but for me it always works.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
A reply on my own message ... :).

I looked around and the whatapps notification problem is mentioned here: http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/whatsapp-notification-tone.17035/

It is an issue which is not specific to my build, but something which is introduced in MIUI. I don't think that I can fix this, so hopefully :fingers-crossed: Xiaomi will fix it.

Hi all!!! What's app can I use for see my old hd video rec with my old gingerbread Miui version?

It's the only problem with this version...

Any solution?

Thx
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

I never used GooManager, but I guess yo can select it and it will download the ROM and stores it on the SD-card for you and then you can install it thru recovery (boot into CWM). Other option is download and put the ROM on the SD-card yourself and install it. I don't now if you need to wipe, sometimes it works without wipe and sometimes it complains about changed GUI-s, so then you'll need to wipe. Best is to make a backup (best results with titanium IMHO) and install. If it complains after install, wipe and restore the (titanium) backup.

Hi marange again

thnx for great rom and quick reply

1- whats app problem may be releated to miui coz its ok in other ICS rom (sandvold,....)

2- vpn problem was not in perviouses releases and happend in current or 2 last version. if u wanna test ,there is free version of vpn (user name =free,pass=free,ulr=usa6.bluewebx.com,uncheck ppp encryption )

3= about hardware button light ,it was in MIUI GB version

anyhow ,thnx
[Desire Android Development] paul1508:
Okay, so there is no special "update" command goomanager would send to CWM. I just have to install the new version over the existing one to update? I"ll try that, if something weird happens, I will report it :)
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
I recommend to use built in MIUI Backup. Backup all, apps and settings.

Full wipe, install new version of ROM.

Then restore all with same app. Layout, apps and settings will be exactly the same as it was.

Problems with free space, google sync and play programs updates.

My desire stopped working correctly from a day to another...I have 2.7.6,2

I got a problem with a persistent message of insufficient memory, but i have at least 100 Mb on ext4 partition...any updates don't work from play, and google sync has stopped working, but other programs continue to sync correctly.

New apps continue to be possible to install...only updates don't work...

So i planned a backup and a change of rom.

When do you think you'll release next version?

Thanx in advance and sorry for boring.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Strange. I have no idea why you have a problem with insufficient memory. Maybe internal memory is full ?

I am missing some spare time at the moment. I need to finish some stuff at work this week, before my vacation next week. Sadly that takes a lot of my time. But I am working on the 2.8.3 and hope to make a release "soon", depending on the issues I find. So I do need some more testing before a release.

Hello,

I had the same problem with 2.7.20 using stock kernel and using the a2sdx (I think) which places all the non system files except the dalvik cache on the SD ext partition.

I've installed the ROM again with Tiamat kernel and using a2sdx which places all the non system files AND the dallik cache on the SD ext partition.

Then after deleting the data of the google's framework app (I had an error 921 downloading app), I can install application via google play.

Marange, when I had this problem, I saw in Settings/Storage/Internal storage that I had 243 Mb of available space in internal memory. I hope this info will help you to find a fix.

Thank you for your good job ;)
[Desire Android Development] nerojdn:
I had the same problem with 2.7.20 using stock kernel (S-OFF) y a2sd. ROM was very lazy when I pushed home button. I though the reason was ROM is a beta.

Because the beginning problem, I changed all config:

- HBoot CM7 r2

- Repartition: 64MB cache + 1024MB ext3

- Shaky kernel

- amarulz

Space problem is gone, and ROM is much faster. I hope info helps you. Thanks a lot for your excellent work!!

[ROM][ICS] MARANGE HTC DESIRE MIUI V4 2.8.3 Beta (uploaded on August 9th, 2012)

The is the patchrom build of MIUI v4 (ICS) 2.8.3 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 2.8.3

CHANGELOG (since 2.7.20)

Included all the patches from 2.7.27

Included all the patches from 2.8.3

Adblocker works again

Included an option to install the "Search button to recent apps" patch

Included change in the 03lennoxd2x script (by Gosicnarf)

Included latest version of Google Play

Include ZRam in the options

DOWNLOAD 2.8.3

- Thru GooManager (download from Google play)

- Use the link: http://tinyw.in/4xbc

- Using mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?4z94udsl4b94cc2

- or use QR code:

NOTE: The problem with VPN (does not disconnect when the connection is selected) still exists. I am looking into this but did not yet find the problem. Also a2sd is not included (also did not work in 2.7.20, so I removed it again). Use the amarullz a2sd in the installer as an alternative. (Or one of the other SD-ext options ;) ).

NOTE 2: I know that this release is a bit late. Sadly sometimes real life is interfering. This is not something I can avoid. I need to eat (sometimes :p) and pay the bills. But I do keep working on it, so sometimes there will be a release (sometimes weekly, but it is hard work to keep up with xiaomi).

[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:

As always, real good release Marange. You're doing the right way between your own time, Sandvold's bases and Xiaomi updates.

Tested zRam at 10% and I had no noticable benefits maybe even worse results because I felt sometimes with 1-2 seconds jerks.

Not reproduced without this option. Anybody tried this option and see anything?
[Desire Android Development] aelfinn:
I am using that setting with shaky’s kernel, no problems, very smooth.
[Desire Android Development] LarsChristian:
Thanks Marange! =)

What kernel is recomended? Installed stock.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Thanks. But I am not the only one. Without the work of a lot of others, my ROM would not have been possible.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I also use Shaky's kernel and I have the idea that it is a bit more fluently with zram. But I am not really sure. ZRam will only help when the ROM tries to swap, because ZRam means that the swapfile is in memory. So a small part of the internal memory will be uses for swap space, and that will be faster then swap on SD-card.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I use Shaky's for a long time and I like that ROM. But also stock and BCM use, just like shaky's, the new hardware libraries so these are a bit faster then the other two. Just play around with them and see which you like.

Only thing to look out for is that you set the governor (use "No frills CPU Control" or another CPU settings app) to something else then the default "ondemand" (I use "smartassv2") . There is a bug in the ICS kernel which, when the governor is set to "ondemand", will give you a BSOD (black screen of death). The means that the phone will not respond anymore and you'll need to remove the battery. This occurs mostly when the battery is recharged and the battery becomes full.
