Dictionary

Hi Marange,

The rom has been working failry smooth, some slowdown every now and then but mostly ok.

I still have dictionary issues with the default keyboard, not sure if its just me? I injected the LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk from the 0.5.4 sandvold build (its under customize/dictionary) into system/app and it seems to fix the dictionary words but not the system wide spell check (still underlines correctly spelled words), plus it comes up as having 2 keyboards in the settings menu.

Any chance you can inject this into the next build so we have one keyboard with working dictionary and system spell check?

Looks like the file in that location is just a container? what actually worked was injecting the same apk from /data/app in the sandvold zip

Hi Marange,

I have two problems:

apps from Google Play don't install on SD Card (A2SD activated ?!)

and I can't install apk, it says "Application not installed" even if unknown sources box is checked...

Could you help me please ? :)

Hello Pito, that's a problem all MIUI, when you install the new rom, notifications start appearing in the orange status bar that make the keyboard disappear :), could you Marange developers like you did fix the problem? great job so far :)

Italian: (visto che sei italiano ;))

Ciao Pito, quello è un problema di tutte le miui, quando installi la nuova rom, all'inizio compaiono le notifiche arancione nella barra che fanno sparire la tastiera :), Marange riusciresti tu come developers ha fixare il problema? ottimo lavoro fino a ora :)
[Desire Android Development] Pito_Urla:
@Marange

I used the default keyboard, regardin the log file in this moment i don't have the the rom installed ... i hope that you understand, whitout keyboard the phone is completely not usable, but if you want this evening i retry to flash and ill post the log.

@ale8530 thanks for your help, but i have used the miui rom from october or November 2010 without this problem.

In italian lang are write the same thing, only more verbose

Italian

Ciao, ho installato la Miui da ottobre/novembre 2010, ma non ho mai riscontrato questo problema, ho poi anche installato la MIUI-AU sempre senza problemi. In questa condizione la rom per me non è utlizzabile, senza tastiera non riesco a configurare nemmeno il wifi in quanto ho un ip statico. :(

E/dalvikvm( 2065): Dex cache directory isn't writable: /data/dalvik-cache

This looks very wrong. One way or another, your cache directory is not writeable. Do have have a full SD-Card/internal memory ? Maybe some other issue with SD-card ?

Version 2.6.15

Does the Quicksearch App working for you?

Mine gots everytime FC when opening...!!
[Desire Android Development] pipo1000:
The /data/dalvik-cache seems to be writable, lots of files are in this directory. All other apps are working very fine, I tried a few like compass, theme, contacts, calendar etc. My sdcard is fine, it is working perfectly with MIUI 2.4.13 and A2SD+ after I did a restore.
[Desire Android Development] l0minus:
Is it possible that it is a permission issue (just a wild guess)?

I see here that the file system@app@MiuiGallery.apk@classes.dex is in the right dir, so while there are no other problems with that, it could be a local problem, and what marange said probably something with your sd.

Have you tried already to clean the dalvik-cache?

[Desire Android Development] marange:
Could you create a logcat ? Makes it easier to see what is going on.

Thanks,

[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

Thanks for the support. And of course I will update to a later base rom when a new feature or bug fix is in a later version. But it takes time, so I need to look when I can do it. But when a base rom is released so often (like sandvold, which is very much in development), I need to look very careful when I update and start re-patching.

About the github suggestion. I don't know if github is the best way for the moment. A lot of stuff is already available (with exception of my build setup/patches :) ). And I don't mind if people are willing to help patching and testing and developing with me. But I need to make sure that it doesn't take up a lot of my time, supporting other people who are tinkering with it.

I am more comfortable, at the moment, when people who are willing to help (but they need to know what they are doing and know their way around linux, patch, diff, shell scripting and know their way around smali files) PM me and see if we can work something out :).

A quick request, since Miui-Au stopped updating the gingerbread version i've not done an update.

I seem to remember that i don't have to wipe the cache and data, is that right? I'd like to avoid having to reinstall the apps, but can't remember how i used to do it.

Secondly, does any else have problems with messaging force closing from time to time (no obvious pattern)/is there a fix?
[Desire Android Development] aelfinn:
If you want to update from the GB version to the ICS version, you’ll have to do a full wipe, IINVMM.

In the GB version, i.e. 1.12.30/2.1.13? Never happened to me. Not in ICS either. ;)
[Desire Android Development] fatcon:
Sorry, didn't make myself clear, i'm going from ICS 2.6.8 to 2.6.15 and the messaging problem is in ICS 2.6.8, i seem to remember having it in the early MIUI-AU version too. Otherwise very impressed with what i'm seeing.
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
You can use Titanium to backup and restore the apps, just make sure you only restore the apps you installed (i.e. non system apps) and ensure to deselect restoring the app data (this is because of changes from Gingerbread to ICS can cause corruptions). Though restoring from ICS to ICS should be fine.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
No need to clear from 2.6.8 to 2.6.15. Just install it over the old version.

Could you give me some more information about the messaging problem ? Is it a random FC ? Or something which can be reproduced ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] fatcon:
Yeah just random, I installed on Sunday and its happened twice since then, maybe three times. I've not noticed a definite pattern but certainly today it happened whilst sending, i got the message "Unfortunately Messaging has Stopped working" (or words to that affect, there was no "Not Responding" or "Force Close" option) and an OK button only.

I'll take a screen shot next time if it helps
[Desire Android Development] zaher.bahouth:
I am unable to boot the rom after i have tried twice. Wiped everything u could just name. Am on stock hboot. Used standard settings.

It boots till boot logo. Then gets stuck on "mi" bootlogo
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Make sure you selected the correct format of the second partition. Choose custom when installing and select ext2,ext3(default) or ext4 according the format of your sd-card second partition.

Hi Marage.

Thank you for the latest version, I have 2 problems:

1. why can't the AntiSpam.apk display Chinese

2. SuperMarket.apk will FC when open it
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
I decompiled that apk before 2 days and when I remember me right... there was the Chinese values folder missing... I think there was one but not right one!!!
[Desire Android Development] philocritus:
Hi Marange,

Just reporting that I installed your rom and it looks great!

I found a bug today while running hboot cm7r2 that I had on older roms and it is really simple to solve.

Zipalign isn't checking it's return status and copying blindly when it fails.

Since cm7r2 and probably other boots have a small cache zipalign fails on big apks, causing the apk to be corrupt.

you can read the full explanation here:

Ask for pin code randomly

Hi all,

Just to tell you the only issue I have got is sometime my desire ask me for the pin code...randomly....and no reboot appends before. I'am on CM7 boot. In the other way, this is a good rom.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] aelfinn:
Just wondering: why doesn’t the installer choose the correct format? Surely it’s not too hard to read the file system type from an existing partition, is it?
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
+1 for this. Would save a lot of time and questions if it automatically detected.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I can confirm the alarm issue, no change from 2.6.8 on that side.. But I use Alarm Clock Plus anyway, so that is a minor issue for me.

I can't find a problem with Search though, whether I use the hardware search button or the launcher widget, even with every option selected in the "Searchable Items" settings, it works just fine.
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
I use alarm clock extreme... The only issue I have is, that I have to use the file explorer to change the ringtone. miui wants the change the theme instead...

I'm really happy with miui ics :-)
[Desire Android Development] raha0007:
I hope this doesn't start to annoy you but did you change the wpa suplicant?

I will test in a while, right now my pc network is messed up because of a vpn client, no way to test ad hoc.

Thanks for your work.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yes, the antispam was a mistake in the name of the resource directory. Is fixed for the next release. The FC is very strange. I checked and it worked when I implemented it. Could you create a logcat ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi philocritus,

Thanks for finding this issue. Very appreciated. I did have reports of missing apps after a reboot and it is now clear why this happened. I made the change to the script.

Is there someone who has the issue that when the phone is restarted, apps are missing/corrupted ? Could you please PM me if you want to check if the issue is solved in the test version ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Very strange. Never had this. Are there more users who have this behavior ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I started with the Miui-Au installer and make some little adjustment. And to be honest it never occurred the me to make this change :). It will solve some issues with continues boot.

I don't know how to check the format of the second partition yet, but I can see what I can figure it out.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
1) Yes. This is an issue already reported to me, and I can confirm that this happens. I think that this is a MIUI issue (removed almost all my patches, only used the needed patches to get a bootable rom, and still had this problem). I am looking into this and hope I can figure out why this happens.

2) Could you tell me how you trigger the quicksearchbox problem ? I cannot reproduce it. Can you give me a screenshot ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi raha0007,

Yes. I copied the wpa suplicant over from the 0.13.1 version. It is not tested by sandvold and I don't have a adhoc network so I cannot test it myself. So I hope it works. Please let me know if you have the change to test it.

[Desire Android Development] i96danma:
I assume I've seen the same issue; although I don't have a PIN for my SIM. Sometimes the phone says "SIM card exchanged, please reboot" but if I just dismiss the dialog everything is back to normal. Has happened a few times w/ 2.6.8 that I'm running now (updating as we speak). Tried to reseat the SIM to make sure there's no lack of connection but it still happened.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
It's part of Miui, so I guess it will be included in the patchrom update. So it should be included it my build.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] zaher.bahouth:
I successfully booted the rom but i kerp getting FC's everytime i open an app

Ext3. Pc-a2sd. Stock hboot. Latest version
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Did you restore apps from a GB backup ? Otherwise try LX-D2X and see if that helps.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] zaher.bahouth:
Nope. I didnt restore from gb..

Do i need to flash the whole rom? Or i can just flash other a2sd??
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Nope. Very sorry, but you'll need to reinstall.

ps. Did you do a full-wipe ?
[Desire Android Development] philocritus:
I corrected the script on my version too.

while correcting the script I noticed this zipalign script uses a file as db to check if the file has been zipaligned.

So I'm betting that even if the script isn't corrected if you reinstall the app it never gets zipaligned again and doesn't get corrupted... so problem solved with a double installation.

Just keep that in mind when testing, the database file has to be cleaned(delete the file?).
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Could you PM your version of the script? Just to check if we make the same adjustment :).

And yes, you can delete de database file. At the start the file is created when it does not exist.

Thanks again,

german language ack & update question

Hi...

Sorry, I´m al litte bit confused...

I´ve made a fresh install with 2.6.8. When I start GooManager and press "searchfor updates" the 2.6.15 will be shown as newer version...

Can I use the 2.6.15 language pack (german) for 2.6.8? Or is there an actual language pack for this version?

thx 4 help

Patrick
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
I'm not sure you can use lang pack from 2.6.15 on 2.6.8, because all the system apps and frameworks are replaced. I'm thinking you'll get a random bunch of errors.. I'm in touch with miuigermany, but the sources i have access to, havn't been updated since 2.6.1, don't really know what's going on.. But as soon as they're updated, i (or someone else) will make a lang pack for german :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yes. The 2.6.15 is the latest ROM version, not the language pack version. So it is normal that in GooManager, it is shown.

And I should not install an other language pack then the one for that version. You'll get a lot of errors if you try that. There are some changes in the resources and there are also changes in the framework.

Sadly there is no german language pack for 2.6.15 (yet).

I'm having a daily bug and still haven't found out why.

randomly the screen comes on (no notification received) and it never goes off until I manually put it off via the power button.

during the screen on period the battery is drained like hell!

I've catched it a few times a day but still no clue about why!

Has anyone got this?

I'm using shaky's very shaky kernel btw

This is very strange. I never have this. Are you sure it is not an app which is doing this ? I cannot imagine what could cause this.

[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Try "Watchdog" app, anything on battery info? What apps are spending the juice? Or the usual.... "screen..." ?
[Desire Android Development] philocritus:
my 3g and wifi are off when it the screen goes on.

Battery info just reports "screen" and that's what's squeezing the juice ;)

I dunno if it's some app I have, but I installed the same apps as the previous GB miui rom :(

maybe it's some app trying to sync? I'll try to get little bit more info
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Maybe, I ran into something alike with "Settings Profile Full", but I replaced the app and all cool now.

Check what apps are running, also, you can use logcat and have a better idea of what happens under the hood, I'm sure it's logged.

Watchdog allows you to see what apps are running, what cpu time are taking and missbehaving. Have a look.
[Desire Android Development] jerrylin612:
Hi marange, I want to know your installing setting.

which hboot are you using now, and which kernel, which a2sd script, ext3 or ext4, use swap or not?:victory:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

My settings are:

Stock hboot, Shaky kernel, smartassv2 governor, LX-D2X script, ext3 and I use swap. I know that there are other settings which was as good or maybe even better, but this is for me a very stable setting.

Btw I don't know if swap is really needed. But I had a 3th partition on my sd card, so I just used it as swap.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
I have a similar issue where my screen will automatically turn on when it loses cell signal (it says something like EMERGENCY in the nofication bar). Do you have a similar issue? I think when the signal is lost it shouldn't switch the screen on automatically, this can be a big drain in battery when travelling in areas of poor signal quality. Probably a MIUI bug...
[Desire Android Development] philocritus:
logcat is a needle in a haystack at this point since it happens about once a day and I can't pinpoint when.

I'll keep an closer eye on everything to see if I can get more info.

Losing signal can be a problem, i'll look to see if it happened.

does it give any error? what do you send on the mms? video? sound?
[Desire Android Development] jerrylin612:
thank you.

what is "smartassv2 governor"?

:confused:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
"What is a CPU governor?

A CPU governor in Android (and other *Nix OSes) controls how the CPU raises and lowers its frequency in response to the demands the user is placing on their device. Governors are especially important in smartphones and tablets because they have a large impact on the apparent fluidity of the interface and the battery life of the device over a charge."

Quoted from: http://icrontic.com/discussion/95140/android-cpu-governors-and-you-setcpu-system-tuner-tegrak

You can set it with for example "No Frills CPU Control", or some other CPU program from the market

Marange

ps. The default governor (ondemand) is the reason why the "black screen of death" occur. That's why it is a good idea, until the kernels are fixed, to change the governor. Explanations of the different governors can be found on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1680183

Stock hboot. Tried number of a2sd.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Really no problem here. I run the ROM (obviously) for some time before I release a version and the ROM is rather stable. Also in the speed department it is ok. I also run stock hboot and the LX-D2X script. Did you, before you install, did a full wipe ? Give us some more information and hopefully we can fix your problems.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] zaher.bahouth:
stock Hboot. Lx-D2x and PC-a2sd.. did all wipes I could do (system, data, caches and dalvik, sd-ext). used Theme to change to a beautiful theme..

everything lags.. gmail and so on.

everything crashes.. phone, system, mihome..

couldn't use it more than 24 hrs :(
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Do you have the same problem when using the default Theme ? Theme's can be unstable on ICS. Theme's are very often made for GB and these can give problems on ICS.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] zaher.bahouth:
it was a bit laggy.. but I didnt use it very much with stock theme..

could it really be the problem? I used extension EX theme
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I don't know, but I know that people do have issues with themes, especially because some themes are for GB and they give problems on ICS. You could try and see if it gives a better experience.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
marange, I know you already answered me this. But I think it's time to start tweaking the rom. I mean, we know they'll keep updating it for a good while so we know that we can't expect a "stop", but the rom is very good, except in terms of performance wise.

I know ICS isn't supposed to be as speedy as GB on our devices, but "we" really should start tweaking it and cleaning what isn't needed. Just my opinion mate, i wish I could help you. You're doing a great work.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
You are welcome to tweak it, but at the moment I am busy enough to keep up with Xiaomi, support people and "real life stuff". And I am still learning the whole android/ROM building and fixing stuff, so it is not that easy for me, so if people want to help, let me know.

This is a MIUI related question rather than a ROM related:

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. Currently I have use apps like "Dialer One" to search for contacts with umlauts.

P. S. I am still on 2.6.1 - very stable, very reliable, runs 2 days without recharging - this is not a "Beta" any more :-)
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
I'll PM marange how to include the multilang T9 dialer (should work for all/most accented characters for various locales - definitely works for umlauts at least)

For Data2ext, is it enough if I partition the SD card under Clockwork recovery? 1024mb and 0mb swap. Or do I need to fiddle with gparted or similar partition software?

Phone reboots upon recieving calls

Hi Marange,

First of all let me thank you for your great work.

I have a problem where My phone reboots by itself upon receiving calls, and after finishing a call.

This is not happening always but few times a day. it is annoying since I will not be able to know who called and sometimes I miss very important calls.

I started noticing this since 2.6.8, and 2.6.15.

I wiped everything, formatted the system partitions, and made fresh install for 2.6.15 again but the issue is still there.

Anyone else faced the same.

I am on stock Hboot, LX-D2X, EXT3, smartassV2 governor.

Thanks in advance for your replies
[Desire Android Development] fangthorn:
How did you format your partitions? I would recommend GParted, rather than the utilities built into various recovery options.

Also be careful how you restore your data - you want to avoid restoring data from Gingerbread as this will cause problems.

Lastly, try to avoid using themes till your phone is stable - they have been known to screw things up.

Hope this helps

EDIT: also try reducing your govenor down to "Conservative"
