This is answered already several times. If I could update the base ROM easy, then I would have done so. Sadly it is not easy and I don't have the time at the moment to do it, so at the moment I spent all my (limited) spare time to fix problems, implement small features and try to keep up with Xiaomi.

Maybe he can, if you are willing to help him. Are you?
[Desire Android Development] Dj Mauro:
sorry, but i am not expert..
[Desire Android Development] oOskizzoOo:
in downloading and battery charging.. :)

thank marange and marange's team for the hard work..
[Desire Android Development] Dabbsy:
Anybody know if this rom is good for everyday usage, I'm on XJ atm and I was looking to try something different. :)
[Desire Android Development] oOskizzoOo:
at the moment i don't know..i going to try the new realease..

usually the most/basic feature work fine..and if you find some seriousli bug you can easly do a downgrade to a previous stabel version o your favorite stable version..at least i do so..

hope that help you

excuse me for my bad english..
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Thanks marange for your patience and I hope that all the "ETA-askers" and that kind of users doesn't get you tired of developing.

We all thank you for your work whenever and however you do it :good:
[Desire Android Development] l0minus:
The rom is perfectly for daily usage, maybe sometime a little bug or so, but that is what you also get with the original rom from htc :silly:

I`m using it almost 14 hours a day, phoning, internet, email, etc, with almost no problems, so I would say try it out and you find out./
[Desire Android Development] ozmanu:
Camera?

Is the camera working now as it wasn't working on last release
[Desire Android Development] marange:
It looks like it works in this version. I just tested it and I can take a picture now.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
How about video and panorama ? Shoud I upgrade from the 2.6.29-2 that I actually use (lot of bugs, FC, battery life...) ? Thnx :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Video is still slow. Some people noted that "videocam illusion" and setting the resolution to 480 gives a better result. Panorama should work. It did voor a long time already. Or does it give problems now ?

You can always try the version. Just make a nand backup and if it give you trouble, just restore the old version. I always do it to test versions, and it works without any trouble.

EDIT: I just tried "videocam illusion" and it FC on me, so I don't know for sure it works well on 2.8.3. Will look into it.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] fire_kid2003:
am i the only one who is having degraded battery performance on last two versions ?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
There was a problem with battery drain (caused by the music player) in the 2.7.20 (and I think also in the version before), which, according to Xiaomi and people in the forum over at miuiandroid.com, should be solved in the 2.7.27 (and in my ROM in 2.8.3, because I did not have the time to release a 2.7.27). If you still have problems in the 2.8.3 then I have no clue why that is (I know that I don't have a problem with battery drain).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] 3raser:
My camera has been working with the last 3 releases. Don't know about video since i didn't use that.
[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:
It seems to me that the new rom is almost perfect, with a extreme increase of speed.

Just a question: i set up setcpu to smartssv2 noop for all day use, with 3g bt wifi and gps enabled, the battery continues to drain and i have to recharge phone every 15 hours circa.

Can this being correlated to your rom or is it normal?

I have got 120 apps installed, with avast anti virus and antitheft enabled

setcpu smartssv2 noop 998 - 245 mhz

using 16 gb samsung class 10 sd

shaky kernel no zram

13.5 fat 32, 2 gb ext4 and 150 swap.
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Well, it's a combination of a lot of things. Normal use of phone like calling, sms, the Web, etc. With 120 apps, probably a bunch of widgets, various sync accounts, youre bound to have lots of wakelocks (keeping your phone from sleeping). To me your battery life sounds normal :D

And the searchbutton patch is really great...:)

Thank you very much! Well done...!!!

[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Thanks guys, gonna flash new version, can't wait :D

Just trying Jelly Bean release :p
[Desire Android Development] jensema:
What install settings do you use?

I also like this rom, but a lot of apps have a delay when i open them.

Whatsapp for example takes up to 5 seconds to open (black screen while waiting)
[Desire Android Development] fire_kid2003:
Thankx

The only strange thing I can think of is using the black theme

Can bad theme have imoact on battery ?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
To be honest. I had no idea. It could be a problem, but I don't know for sure. Try to select the default theme and see if that helps. I always use the default theme and don't have problems with the battery.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] fire_kid2003:
Nope

Same performance issue with defaut theme

I think miui backup has something to do with it
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ok, just looked into the "videocam illusion" problem and it was something on my phone (the remove of the app previously was not done correctly), so I can confirm that it works.

[Desire Android Development] lafuri13:
I've got an error when I try to install or update an application in the Play store.

It says that I've not enough space on Internal memory although I've 800Mb of free space (Settings/Storage/Internal Memory).

I've tried several installation and it seems that the problem comes from Amarullz A2SDX script.

I'm on stock HBOOT, radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08, I've tried different kernels, and I've tried using 128Mb swap or ZRAM 10%.

Can anyone help me?
[Desire Android Development] gosicnarf:
Use the Lennox(Amarullz) script instead...
[Desire Android Development] crojl:
Sweet, now in 2.8.0 my sd-ext works, i had only 148mb internal in a older versions now i got my 1gb :D
[Desire Android Development] fatcon:
Whenever i try the last two options for storage, is it L2Dx and the amurullz one i alwyas get the error message unfortunately system.process has stopped working or process.gapps has stopped working. Are these common problems that have already been discussed? Loving the rom but struggling due to only being able to use internal storage :/
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Wow, thanks Marange ! I must say, great work. I love the new design (status bar, messages, theme..). It works well (some FC and bugs but nothing important). It is quite fast as previous versions, but not as the Jelly Bean pre-alpha I tested before, this one is the ultimate ROM about best performance and speed. ^^

Still, love MIUI :3

EXT 3, Lennox(Amarullz), 128 mb swap.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
LX-D2X and amazullz should work. I use LX-D2X al the time and other uses reported sucess with Amurullz, so it looks like a local problem. Could you give me a logcat ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Marange, I really like the new MIUI weather widget, but it says that MIUI weather app is not installed :/

I installed this one http://weather.miui.es/ (MIUI Europa) but it seems not detected.

Could you send me the APK which works perfectly with the included ROM widget ? Thanks a lot :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I don't have it. I didn't notice that it was not there (don't use it). I looked in patchrom and I cannot find it there. Maybe Xiaomi did forget to include it ? I have no idea.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
Xiaomi didn't forgot it. It isn't included as default. Many people from Miui-Germany are asking the same question...

Someone told you have to download this But it is chinese... I don't know whether there are more languages included...

Edit: Someone else told that an App from here does work: http://miuiapps.es/miui-weather/
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Well, it's not that easy :)

The weather app built into the Launcher is referring to the chinese version, which works, but only in china, as no international locations can be found..

Thing is, if you setup the weather widget to somewhere on your desktop, it'll be placed and have a text saying something like "click to install app". Nothing happens though, unless the SuperMarket apk is installed first, which will then open and take you to the actual MIUI weather app for downloading..

But again, it's more or less useless outside china :(

So, unless someone comes up with a magic trick, this widget won't work..
[Desire Android Development] philocritus:
I installed the euro version, got duplicated widgets but it worked with the new widget.

clock does get stuck at a time sometimes.. I have to remove and place the widget again(it worked well on GB so it's not a app problem, maybe a MIUI ICS or rom problem, I dunno).

Apart from that it works pretty good.
[Desire Android Development] oOskizzoOo:
Hi marrange..

again thx for your good work..

Does someone have difficulty to use Facebook (or other app) because it is FC?

Marange, it's possibile install and use LX-D2X in Miui GB version(like 2.4.6. or 2.4.13)??

thx in advance.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Thanks all for your answers :) I did installed the latest apk, got a new plugin, ok it works but not as beautiful as chinese plugin. Indeed I tap the plugin but nothing happen xD gonna try the apk from the posted link.

Facebook app... can't use it due to a lot of FC and bugs. Seems I am not the only one :/
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
I have a small request lol, can someone who's using this rom, take some screens as a teaser? :D
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Sure, I'm going to do that ^^
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
There are 6 screenshots of this ROM with the default theme in the opening post.. :confused: Or are you maybe looking for specific screenshots from other screens?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I don't use Facebook. Can someone make a logcat for me to look at why the app FC's ?

I think it could work on MiuiGB. I don't see a reason why it should not work.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] oOskizzoOo:
Another question..

I just received from amazon my new microSD.. is sufficient format and create my ext-4 partition an reflash the rom or i've to do something else?

thx in advance..
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
I believe the framework has changed a little bit since then, if the default screen after install still remains the same as is in the |OP|, then ignore my request :)
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Well, for the couple minutes I saw the clean ROM (before customisations) when I updated from 2.7.6 to 2.8.3 the other day, it didn't really look too different to the OP.

Honestly though, I got bored of the default MIUI launcher way back on GB, tried the new launcher with MIUI ICS for a while, but now the first thing I do after a wipe/reinstall is install Nova Launcher and Black Android Theme.. Only then do I move on to restoring my apps and data. :)

I'm downloading AOKP to test that for a bit, so when I inevitably come back to MIUI (as I always seem to do), I'll take a bunch of snaps of the default install, maybe at that point Marange could add them to the OP for future reference...? I'll see which ROM I'm running in a couple days and take it from there.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Well there are some changes about interface and design, gonna upload some screenshots :)
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Awesome.. That's a nice selection of screenshots there. :highfive:
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
You are welcome, anyone feel free to ask for other screenshots (not Facebook due to FC ahah) :)

EDIT : I tried the MIUI weather apk, but does not work at all, app FC immediatly and plugin just shows a sun (as you can see on the screenshot). So I reinstalled MIUI weather, a bit disappointed that Chinese plugin does not detect Europa app :/ I hope Xiaomi will make it compatible with all versions.
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Thank's a lot for the screens, it looks brilliant.

@marange, can you update the |OP| with these recent screens please? :D
[Desire Android Development] ahmad4u:
wifi?

any way or LINK for fix wifi adhoc ?

[Desire Android Development] Zenec:
Before I install the rom, can anyone tell me if it is possible to 'unlock' the phone during a call by using the power button or trackpad? My phone's proximity sensor is broken so I need this to work so I can unlock the phone during a call.

Also, is it possible to disable lockscreen, leaving only password screen for unlocking the phone?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Hi,

Sometimes screen keeps turned off during a call, so I am obliged to push power button or trackpad in order to make it turning on. ;)

As I know, phone MUST be locked after a delay, so it seems impossible to override it.
[Desire Android Development] Zenec:
Thanks, I tried the rom and it works perfectly. Even though there's no 'disable proximity sensor' option, it is possible to unlock the phone during a call by using the power button. Also, it is possible to disable the lockscreen when security lock (pattern or pin) is used.

I must say that the rom is absolutely beautiful, thanks Devs!

Hey guys

I have 2.7.20 version on my Desire but unfortunately I can't get network connection on my phone what should I do?

Hi,

Did you flashed radio or applied any change ? You may upgrade to the latest release (2.8.3), your problem should be fixed. Anyway I don't have any other advice.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
What are yoru mobile network settings (see Settings) ? Check "Access Point Names" and "Network operators" . Is "Network operators" set to "select automatically" ? Or is it set manually ? And is it set to your operator ?

And what was the problem with Wifi ? Wifi should work out of the box.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I assume adhoc is not working ?

Sadly I don't have an adhoc network and cannot test it. I have no idea why it does not work. The only thing the adhoc option does is copying some files over the default. The files are the files in sandvold's base, so if it works there it should work in my build.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] ahmad4u:
WIFI !!!

its not just ad hoc

Sorrily WiFi is not working for me !

Cant join to hidden access points with any Channels and wpa/wpa2 psk

even cant find other visible access points

after turn on WiFi and reboot device shows access point but cant join !

I'm so confused !!!

radio : 5.17.5.23

stock hboot

shaky kernel

with aroma installer default check boxes !

Please HELP me this is the best ICS ROM I've ever seen.

Thanks marange.
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
One small issue, but don't know whether it is a Base ROM or Miui Problem...

When you receive an SMS and you have Popup Notification enabled, then you will see the Popup, but when you push the X in the top-right Corner of the Popup then the LED for the Notifications starts to shine all the time, till you get an other Notification that changes the LED-Notification Status.

Hope you understand this, don't know how to describe this issue...:eek:
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
here it's working as it should.after reading the SMS popup, there is no notification light any more.

Btw I really love this ROM! :)
[Desire Android Development] Cubbe:
Hi there ppl,

I really really like this ROM, it looks very nice,but I have some questions:

1.It sas that I need ext3/4 partition,do I need both of them or I can just make one and is it ok if I make it with 4EXT Recovery(Touch-screen version)

2.How big(large) partition should be ?

3.Is ROM going to install on ext partition by default or I have to make some changes ?

4.How much internal storage is there going to be(if I understand partiton size-ROM size=internal storage) ?

5.Is mobile data connection working proprely ?

6.Are thre still problem with LED notifications(have seen that there were some problem with sms popup and LED notification) ?

7.Is font big enough(it is very important to me) ?

8.Is GPS working proprely ?

9.There is Aroma installer,no need for .zip files on SD card and stuff ?

Note: I'm currently running MildWild CM-5.0 Stable ROM

Thanks for all answers :good:

Cubbe :o
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
Hey Cubbe,

I'm going to try to answer your questions...

#1: You only need one EXT Partition and it will work when you do it through your Recovery

#2: It depends on the count of your Apps, you should choose a size between 1 and 2GB

#3: The ROM will be installed on the internal Storage but while the install process you can choose which data you want to be pushed to the EXT Partition (a2sd/d2ext)

#4: Your Internal Storage is enough for that ROM -> It works on CM7-r2 hBoot (System size 145MB)

#5: For me it works great

#6: It had a problem with that, but I think I have to take a closer look at this - maybe it is a problem which only I have. But except of that it works also for me without problems

#7: Take a look at the screenshots and compare it with the size of your display, so you can see whether it is big enough for you - I think it is big enough

#8: For me it works, but have tested it only with google maps yet!

#9: The AROMA is included in the .zip of the ROM. You have to put the ROM on your SD and then choose "install zip from SD"(or something like that) in your Recovery. Then the AROMA will be started and leads you through the install process!

Hope I could help you a little...:o

[Desire Android Development] chezidec:
I experienced the same behaviour.

In my opinion it's not a bug, but a feature.

When you press the X button, you dismiss the pop-up and miui/ICS registers this as not having read the SMS (you can't read to the end of longer SMS in the pop up). Same as if you just delete the notification.

Therfore you have an unread message waiting in your inbox which is the reason for the LED.

I don't know if you can change this behaviour, except changing back to normal notifications.

Hi,

Xiaomi will release today the first upgrade to jelly bean for some smartphones. This meens we won't get updates anymore in few weeks.

Marange, will you plan a base ROM change to follow new MIUI updates or will you want to stick on ICS and never upgrade? (there's plenty ways between those two :))
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

I just read that Xiaomi started to switch to jellybean on 2 phones. But I cannot imagine that they will do it for all supported phones soon (if there is no jellybean rom, they will not switch) so I guess they will support ICS for some time more. And in the future, when there is a (completely working and stable) jellybean ROM for the desire I will see what it takes to switch. But at the moment I will keep doing what I do and that is patching the new miui features in ICS.

We will see what the future brings.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Very strange. Wifi is working without trouble for me for a long time. I am thinking, but don't have a solution. When you say "shows access point but cant join", what do you mean ? Do you input the password and then it keeps trying to connect ? When this happens, does the option ""Use Drewis's DHCPCD" help to solve it ? When you select "static ip" can you then connect ?

It is very difficult to pinpoint this problem.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] ahmad4u:
My WIFI works with other Roms like cm7 rc1 and cm10(4.0.4)

very often shows access point after reboot

yes after input all specifications like security type and password doesn't show anything !!!

tap scan too doesn't work !

please see this

in this page you can see others who have this problem !

Thank You All

I'm Awaiting...
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
Do you have LED notification enabled in system settings, display?

I don't... Maybe that's the reason for different behavior.

Soronk
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I understand that you have a problem, but it is very difficult to find a solution when I cannot reproduce it. And I know that other users, on other phones and systems, can have the same symptomes. But that does not mean that the problem is the same. Miui.us has nothing to do with my build and I don't know if they use patchrom. And of course they don't have a desire build. ;).

To see if we can solve your problem, we need more information. Are you using dhcp ? If so, please select drewis dhcpcd option in the installer and see if that helps. Someone did have success with that option some time ago, so maybe this will help. Other option to try is, to see if you can use static IP. I did have a issue with my DHCP server, which tried to issue the same IP address which was already in use static (a problem in my network setup), which gave problem when connecting to my WIFI router.

And could you give us a logcat ? Maybe some helpful information is in there ...

[Desire Android Development] Cubbe:
Thanks a lot for your help ph87. It helped me a lot. I would be thankfull if you could help me with these few things:

1.Could you explain little more about your answer on question no. 2 ? If I understand right,while I install ROM, there will be question what i want to install on ext partition ? Oh yes,what is difference between a2sd and d2ext and which is better ?

2.Is it better to have ext3 or ext4 partition ?

3.Do I need any Radio to install after I install this ROM ?

4.Is there possibility of using custom keyboards(like Smart Keyobard,Slide IT etc.) ?

Sorry if I am boring,but these thing are very important to me,so I could install it right and one day,help someone to do same.

Everybode else,feel free to answer on questions above.

Thanks a lot,

Cubbe :laugh:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
IMHO:

1. Because the desire does not have enough internal memory to run ICS, some stuff needs to be moved to the SD-card. The ext partition is used for that. The option "SD-EXT" in the installer gives you the option to select what you want to move to the SD-card. a2sd means apps to the sd-card and d2sd means data to the sd-card. Which is better, is a matter of opinion ;). I use lx-d2x.

2. Doesn't matter. Just format one and select the correct one in the installer (it is not possible to auto-select the correct one in the installer).

3. No need to install another Radio.

4. Yes, no problem. I use Touchpal, but others work also.

[Desire Android Development] ahmad4u:
that wifi router is mine and i configured it to many setting such as dhcp, static ip, hidden, broadcast ssid, no password and ... and sorrily didn't work
