As 1982Strand already mentioned, the 0.5.4 base ROM was the current ROM when I started. The idea is to get polish the ROM first and also get some translations in. The idea is to make it a multilingual ROM so if people want to contribute with language translations, please PM me and I can send you the resources which need translation. There is already an offer for German and 1982Strand is looking at the Danish translation.

Because there is very little patching and tweaking for the desire, we are also looking at that. Make it even an better experience on the desire. And if you notice strange behavior, things not working, FC's, apps not installable, please let us know.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] Mr. Playboy:
Just wanted to give some feedback:

Working great, stable, no FCs or reboots so far after around 18 hours of usage.

Battery life so far is amazing, drainage over night just 9%, which I never had with the previous builds. So, please keep this one :-)

Beside the small chinese parts (which do not disturb me at all): AMAZING!

Looking forward to the future and future builds with tweaks, etc.

Cheers and THX!
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi

Sorry you had so much trouble.

About the BSOD (1) and CSOD (2), these are kernel issues. And I know these are very annoying. We are working on a solution. On (3), could you please let us know what the error is you get ? (Question to other users:) Are there any other users who have the same problem ? (4) Could you give (an) example(s) ? (5) Strange, don't have this problem. Maybe a rogue app which kept running in the background ? And I don't understand what you mean by (6) and (7).

Do you have the same issues with 2.4.27 ?

Again sorry for the problems. Please keep sending them in, so that we can look at fixing them.
[Desire Android Development] frankgrasshopper:
Now im using the rom for hours. No problems so far. Battery life is good. And the small chinese things are funny.
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Yes, there are some chinese in Gallery and in recommended tab in the mms app, have you noticed chinese elsewhere?
[Desire Android Development] frankgrasshopper:
Some more chinese: the privacy (firewall) app and the monitor app.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

one more question. Is there any chance that extended setting mod is working with this rom?
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
make a backup and try, for some reason, d2x was really laggy on my phone with data++. so i choosed PC Apps2sd... but your phone maybe works better with d2x. just try it :)
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
D 2x options are always flawless for me on a class 6. Any less and it may be laggy, and most class 10's are no good either.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Same here. D2EXT is by far the best option, at least in last 12 months for me.
[Desire Android Development] pRo_lama:
You have right. I'm absolutely satisfied with this method. But very little ROM have this script.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Just FYI, normal a2SD, dk 's m2sd etc all can move data and dalvik to SD, and have the same performance and internal memory as any d2x. Only difference is what shows up in settings due to the way stuff is mounted.

To be 100% honest, my d2x mod and amarullz original both use more internal memory than both of those options ;)

Anyone who understands scripting and the android filesystem can check for themselves, but its true.
[Desire Android Development] pRo_lama:
Yes, but I don't know why on my device is fully working only this method.

Last week I saw HD2 with A2SD with such as huge mess as never. That guy has 4GB SD card with 1GB free space on EXT and FAT32, but he can't install any apps because of low space. But on SD card has only 300MB of photos and 32 installed apps. :-D

I just want to know how I must edit ROM if I want this method. :)
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Don't need to edit the Rom (other than removing any other scripts). It may be that your sd card is slow, but thanks to amarullz system data and dalvik is still on internal so will perform ok. I guess thats one way it may perform better than straight a2sd symlinks.

The script will need to be pulled out of the Rom and modified a bit though. Tell me which script and what format your ext partition is and ill post one you can push to system.
[Desire Android Development] pRo_lama:
I have EXT4 partition and I want to D2EXT X-PART script. But I want to use it on ICS ROM (if you have time you can make for GB too). Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
There is no such script in the Rom? There's amarullz ad2sdx or my mod?

It will work on gb anyway, as long as a compatible busybox is available.
[Desire Android Development] pRo_lama:
When I flash ICS ROM and try any script from menu in Aroma Installer, after that I make restore of my apps via Titanium I always get the some notification alert about low space. But with D2EXT X-PART in ROM I have never had this alert.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Use lennys d2x in aroma installer, 3rd option if Im not mistaken. Its his equivalent to xpart.
[Desire Android Development] pRo_lama:
But I'm not talking about this ROM. With this and MIUI XJ is everything working. But with another ROM's.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
So ill ask again, which script do you want from this Rom? I'm not doing anything from xj 's, besides the fact I have nothing to do with it I'm also fairly certain his x part requires ramdisk changes also, which would have to be done differently for each and every Rom you wanted to use it on.
[Desire Android Development] pRo_lama:
OK, from begining. :-)

I don't know name script which I want, but it's using in MIUI XJ (the type of ROM is D2EXT X-PART). When I used this ROM (MARANGE HTC DESIRE MIUI V4 2.4.27 Beta) I have chosen the last option which was AD2SDX by amarullz. And everything was working. But this ROM is for me not stable so I want to use script in another ROM. (ICS or GB)

But when I'm trying to flash Amarullz SD-EXT script it's not working. It's difference between AD2SDX by amarullz and Amarullz SD-EXT ???
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Should be the same thing. If the original amarullz doesn't work, the one in this rom won't. The issue must be elsewhere.
[Desire Android Development] pRo_lama:
And the last question. What is the name of script that is used in MIUI XJ ROM (D2EXT X-PART). It's something special ??? Or what ???
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
As I said, I think its a combination of script and kernel.
[Desire Android Development] eckengucker:
Don't think so. If you see the changelog the ROM gets more updates than evervolvs...
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
as lenny said, the relevant things come from evervolv. But bug fixes, and improvements also count a lot. All these roms start from same point but go in different directions...
[Desire Android Development] eckengucker:
that's clearly true but the bugfixes are the things that really matter and there the COS-ROM is much more up-to-date as Sandvolvs.
[Desire Android Development] cmajetic:
I would also recommend space dog ics as the base, using his Rom for a month now, had not even one random reboot or bsod, answer calls always worked and everything else too, this is (maybe soon was :P) the only reason why I didn't try your miui Rom again.

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire mit Tapatalk 2
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Well this is entirely up to you but I think maybe stay on this base until you get time :) The rom is very stable. It's a daily driver for me and the work you've done on it is amazing. Maybe when JB gets camera working fine then have a look?

Also for the annoying "download limit warning" that pops up go to Network Assistant app, then press the Traffic Ranking tab, then press Batch Networking Control at the bottom and then turn off Control Program Networking at the top. No more annoying pop ups ;)
[Desire Android Development] nerojdn:
Same problem for me with 2.8.20 version. Sorry for not report, but I thoght the problem was only for me. I went back to 2.7.20, very stable for me. I'm gonna try this new version and I promise to report. Of course, thanks a lot Marange for your work!!!!
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I am very sorry, but I cannot reproduce it. I can take pictures (just did) and open gallery to look at them. No problem what so ever. I really don't have any idea why this is happening.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
My main objective is a stable ROM, so the most time will be spent on the current build (real life permitting). If I have spare time left I will continue to tinker with other options.

And thanks for the hint on the annoying popup. I could not find where to disable it.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Even if people think that a problem is locally on their phone, please let it know here in the thread. Maybe more people have the same issue(s) and together we can solve them. Just try to give as much information as possible. And maybe someone else already solved it.

And don't forget, I can create problems also. I am very good at messing things up ;).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Yeah the experience of Miui requires a stable rom base and to be honest, the newer ICS builds have performance improvements but nothing all that groundbreaking (no disrespect to the people that make them because what they do is still amazing). But thanks for the effort you put in to this :)

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 AM ----------

Zram would reduce performance but it would give less force closes and soft reboots. If you don't get reboots and don't run out of ram often then you don't have to choose it.
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I'm really impressed how this ROM is developing. It's smoother each version and right now for me, it's nearly as stable as a daily ROM (not completely because I miss video recording and so)

But now I know this could be as stable, and even better than MIUI GB.

So thank you very much, marange! ;)

And now some suggestions/ questions:

- Does anybody know if there are some kind of problems with GPS, as they were with MIU GB (and every CM7 based ROM, at least for me) It's the reason why right now I'm not using MIUI as my daily ROM.

- I would suggest marange to not give support to any kind of "2sd" scripts until there is a stable ROM. I think that very usually there are bugs and errors related to a bad/ corrupted ext-partition, or because of inadequate sd cards (for example some class10) I think that with so many different configuration (different kernels, different a2sd scripts...) it's more difficult to find what is causing a bug with any feature, or a laggy ROM...

I have tested the ROM selecting everything in internal and 10%zram, with shaky's kernel and haven't suffered any reboot, slowdown or something. Also I found that the default governor (userspace) was a bit laggy and any other worked better.

I also tried the app "Stability Test" and runnig CPU+GPU test it didn't give any errors for 30 min (then I stopped it manually)

So my suggestion is to only attend bugs in a "standard" installation that you can explain in first post. Maybe it would be easier for you, and better for the development.
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
In terms of developing it would be a lot easier to work with no scripts but the Desire has an incredibly small data partition for apps. Realistically, there's no way that people would be able to use the ROM without any A2SD support. And my GPS works fine :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

I agree about the SD scripts, but pawan1993 is right. The memory of the desire is very small and if you want to install some apps, you cannot do that without the help of an 2sd script. Don't forget that the desire is not build for ICS and we are very lucky that some people worked very, very hard to make it possible and in effect made MIUI possible. But yeh, that makes debugging/stability an issue sometimes. But if that is the price to pay ... I don't mind. I just try to do my best and help everyone as best as I can (and try not to mess to much ;) ).

And GPS should work. (standard disclaimer: At least it does for me). No issues here.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I'm starting to think that GPS bug only appears in my Desire... But it's strange as it's on all CM7 ROMs... I'll test when I had time if it's still on ICS.

Thanks anyway!
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Do a nandroid backup and try out the rom. Only way you'll know if it works.
[Desire Android Development] philocritus:
Hi there Marange.

I installed the 2.8.31 version and got the mihome FC error :(

I deleted the MIUI folder from the SD card and I still got the FC..

I had hboot cm7r2 and installed hboot data++. That solved it. It seems like the system partition on the cm7r2 might not be enough for your current rom setup.

Can you see if that's the case and try to pull some apps to the ext4?

That or remove the cm7r2 support since it's giving you so much hassle.
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
It was/is the same problem I have, too...
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Do you use cm7 hboot ? It looks like the system partition is too full again. I also see 2 new miui apps in 2.9.7, so I will see if I can move some stuff on the sd card again/make it optional in the installer (a chinese game market kind of thingy is not really useful for people outside china I guess).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
You will get an PM - cause won't give the link here :D

I am now on stock hboot and it seems, the problem's gone . but had little problems...
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I think this confirms the instability issues are related to cm7 hboot system space. I will fix this in the 2.9.7 release (where the first build is now test running on my phone).

And could you tell me what the small problems are ? Maybe we can get these fixed also ...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
I'm using gallery and camera ics as a replacement for the rebooting original ones, rather than that good work Marange!
[Desire Android Development] oOskizzoOo:
ok thnx..i will try it ..maybe it happens only in stock keyboard..

thnx again...:good:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Thanks for the information. I can make MIUI gallery/ICS gallery switch an option in the installer. Could you let me know which camera you are using? The camera in the ROM is the ICS camera, but maybe an older version. I would like to update it, if that is the case.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] fredericc38:
Since the last two version I stop to use this rom. I have got hboot cm7r2 and I got a lot of FC. Unusable...:crying:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Looks like the ROM is to big for cm7. I don't use cm7, so I missed it. There are just to many different setups. So please report these kind of issues a.s.a.p! Will fix it in the next release.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
I didn't faced such problem :confused:

I think it can be because I remove lots of stuff system folder which I dont use!!
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Hi marange, I'm trying your last version :)

So far so good, do you know that drewis compiled a new kernel? Sandvold is using it :) dont know if there's any differences but i dont think there's nothing major.

Seems to be more responsive then previous builds, for that, congrats ;) it's slowly taking a pretty cool shape!

I'll let you know if i face any issues, so far so good. Also, I changed my hboot to stock to avoid lack of space, just in case.
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
I'm using "camera ics" from play store, looks the same as stock "ics camera" :D not the same thing.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yes, when you removed stuff from the ROM, then it will work. The problem is the space of the system partition in cm7 hboot. That is smaller then on data++ and stock. I will move some stuff to the sd-card, and then hopefully it works for everyone on cm7 again.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
IC :D. Then I will only look into the MIUIGallery/ICS Gallery option.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Hey marange,

let me say so, it's all falshed. After rebootig it still staying in the boot image, that means it doesn't starting. You can't get off via power button or power button + loudness down+mouse - only way is takeing out the charger. After booting comes following FC: Setting is not responding. Would you like to close it.

I will make an full wipe (including 4ext partition and will write down the results again.

But one big succesfully thing I can give you as feedback definitely since 8.20 : without any other languages, only in english your rom rocks :D

EDIT:

Same problem like above... with follows FC: miui home doesn't reaction, would you like to close/wait for - and the screen frozing
[Desire Android Development] BlackLine7:
May I ask how come are you using 0.8.1 by Sandvold and not one of his newer versions?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Need tester with cm7 hboot

Hi,

I moved some stuff to the sd-card to create room on the cm7 hboot, but I need a tester for it. It is the 2.9.7 build, so is there someone who is very adventures ? So please PM me ...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
U can try miui gallery from gingerbread as well. :D
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Does the GB Gallery work on ICS ? I implemented an option to select the MIUI/ICS Gallery, but it is not difficult to extent it to include GB also.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Hey Marange,

big issues - tried many, many versions but now I have the results - in the end:

Don't know what the realy name is - but by the old d4ext version (think int2sd) it makes trouble. That means its working till reboot and stopping.

By other version there are no problems, like by A2SD or the others.

Please take a look again above this script...:good:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

I am sorry. I don't quite understand what you mean. I don't use int2sd, so that cannot be a problem. Do you mean that with one of the scripts there is a problem ? Could you tell me what your hboot is ? The is a size problem with the system partition on cm7r2. I have fix it in the 2.9.7 version and will release it soon (when there are no problems in testing). If you use another hboot, please tell me what is going wrong. What do you mean by stopping ? Do you get a lot of FC's ?

NOTE: I see in a previous posting that you switched to stock. Very strange that you still have problems.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] PlayGrandPa:
Bytheway, doe's this rom support wifi-direct? I can't find the setting.

thanks
[Desire Android Development] sn33ky:
Is it me or is this rom very slow? When i had the 2.3 MIUI it was a lot faster. Or are this all adjustments that will be solved in future releases? Or is this just because ICS?
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Yes, sorry - it was the LX-D2X script.

Others running without any problem, but by LX-D2X I have problem to starting the rom. I tried yesterday 2 flashs - even same problem with booting.

Andif it starting and you make a reboot (because intergrating the gmail app) - it doesn't booting.

Without this scrip I have problem with memory capacity :eek:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I also use LX-D2X script and reboot my phone often, without trouble. Are you sure you don't have an issue with your SD-card? I cannot think of any problem with the script. Can you give me a logcat when the phone doesn't want to boot ? Then I can look and see what is going wrong.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I am sorry, but what is wifi-direct ? I don't think miui supports "wifi-direct". I have never seen it.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
2.3 is GB, isn't it. GB is faster then ICS and ICS is faster then MIUI. But IMHO is MIUI very usable on the desire. And it is getting faster and faster all the time. So what do you mean with "very slow" ? What SD-card are you using ? Because some things are stored in the ext partition, SD-card speed has influence.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
No, my SD card dosn't shows any problems. My Problem is, I don't know how I can send an logcat without running phone.

I know flashed the rom again and it doesn't running - even showing miui boot - and that's all ...
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Do you mean that ofter a reboot, the phone is not coming up ? To get a logcat, connect the phone to the computer and run adb logcat on the computer. That is the only way I can think of to find the problem on your phone. The only thing I know if that I don't have the problem you have and I run LX-D2X for a long long time.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
I started now with lot of FC's (known ones) and download logcat. It's runningsince long time. By finishing I will post the result ... I am curios.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Just an idea. What language are you running? Are you running in the english language or another language ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
English - cause bro' from miui germany (who translated) lost his desire.

In older Versions I had troubles with german language, in english it rocked.

Don't understand ... logcat is still running, normally?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Just press esc to stop it. Logcat will run as long as the phone is running.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Nothing which triggers any bells. Do you have parts which includes exceptions ? Not about http://127.0.0.1, but about other processes which generated exceptions ? These will trigger FC's most of the times.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
xwishmasterx,

I sent you a PM.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Just to let you know; you can use qtADB to get a logcat and you can filter the messages (to show only the errors, for example) It's very useful and you don't have to paste a so large file.

http://qtadb.wordpress.com/
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Thanks for the hint. Looks very useful.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] Pibbs:
Hi there,

are you planning the release of new version of Miui 2.9.7 soon, or waiting the next release?

thanx in advance!
[Desire Android Development] sn33ky:
My SD Card is a 16GB Class 10 card.

2.3 is indeed GB i used the MIUI version from gingerbread. Its not to attack you, because i think the MIUI is verry stable, and sometimes more importand then speed. But this ROM is verry slow.

Examples.

- When i press the power button when powered on, the screen goes down but the sound is 2 seconds later.

- scrolling in the mainscreen lags for +-1 second when swiping to the left and right.

- Opening the google market takes up to 15 seconds to load.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Hey guys!

Hows it going Marange? Good to see you still going :)

Just wanted to say, for all those who love MIUI, come to en.miui.com, and join the official English MIUI forum :). Hope to see you guys there, and marange, you should definitely post about your rom there so more people hear about it :D.

Sorry for the plug, but you guys here are what I first got into MIUI for, so itd be great to see you there.
[Desire Android Development] nerojdn:
Marange, I confirmed the problem with later versions was hboot. I've changed my sdcard (now class 10) and tried with 2.8.31 with a clean and new card. I haven't go away from init splash. When I've seen other guys have problems with cm7 I 've changed to data++ and I only can say... Perfect!!

Speed increase with class 10 (before 4) is really good.

Thanks a lot Marange for your work. Please go on!!!
