People have been saying that class 10 doesn't make a big improvement on the Desire. I personally would go for class 6 sandisk than a cheaper class 10 since Sandisk quality is just so good. Their class 4's are better than most class 6's. It should be fine to change kernel but swap you'd still have the extra partition on your sdcard. If you don't mind that extra memory wasted then go ahead :) I'd rather do a full wipe including formatting your sdcard if your removing the swap. But it might work.
[Desire Android Development] NiksaVel:
Hey guys... me again, the new user :)

has anyone been experimenting with different zram options? How about noswap vs zram?
[Desire Android Development] NiksaVel:
I have reflashed the rom with noswap and I have marked improvement in performance compared to using swap... which was the default option at install. Maybe this can be changed?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
There is always a discussion of swap is useful or not. I always run with swap, but a lot of people don't, so it is not completely clear :).

But the fact is that swap on the SD-card is a lot slower then no swap (of course) or zram. Zram puts the swap in internal memory (so you loose a little), so it is faster. The best is to try to run without swap and see if it doesn't give problems. When you run out of memory a lot/running a lot of apps, zram is an option to try.

Btw, a good suggestion. I will make noswap the default in the next release (still working on getting the initial patching in the new base working and then hopefully it will boot. Then I need to repatch the rest of MIUI in again ... pffffff ... Could use some extra weeks of vacation ;) ).

Hey is it just me or the calculator is missing from app drawer

Hi,

There is no app drawer in Miui. Calculator should be on the home screen(s). It is for me ...

[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Hey Marange if I were to push the stock android gallery and delete the miui gallery do you think it would work(no Google photo sync in miui)? Also what if I pushed the MIUI weather app from an older build of Miui-Au? Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Good question. No idea. There are changes in the framework jars, so there is a possibility that it will not work. Same with the MIUI weather app. At least if that is a ICS app. Otherwise it will not work for sure. But I guess you could try it and see what happens.

Alright... got me a new class10 32gb sd card and we're rolling now... the system is actually quite usable with noswap. Will try later with zram and report back.
[Desire Android Development] fire_kid2003:
ah resolved it

i was experimenting with changing icon of apps

and i changed calculator's icon
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Is there a MIUI weather apk from a newer build lying around? I've tried finding one but only found the one on MIUI Au which is older. Will let you know how it goes.

Hello guys :) I have a problem with official Facebook app.

When I start app only splashscreen appears and after that i got blank screen only with android status bar then it usually freezes and FC.

[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
hey guys ,

how to enable on-screen buttons?

thnx in advance.. :)
[Desire Android Development] squder:
Last time i rollback to old version and upgrade again it solved my problem
[Desire Android Development] marange:
On-screen buttons cannot be enabled/disabled. It is a flag in framework.jar, so that can only be done on build time at the moment. I am looking into this, but got only a bootloop. But I am trying to get it to work.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
In nikez JB, SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk is modded in order to have onscreen buttons. Contact Bojan155 for details.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yes, I know. That is what I meant. Can only be done in build, not when running MIUI. The patching is simple. Problem is that MIUI bootloops and I am not quite sure yet why. It could be a MIUI issue itself, but I need to look into it some more (did not have much time lately).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
hmm,but for the moment I modded the framework for having on-screen buttons..

uploading the screenshot along with the framework file for everyone who want on-screen keys.I hope 'marange' wont mind..:p

ps:I didnt got the bootloop , offcourse i pushed the file after the first boot! :good:
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Not to sound rude here at all, but what's the point with the on screen keys, when you have hardware keys on the phone?

@ my commodore 64
[Desire Android Development] vijendrahs:
Lot of old users of desire might have problem with the hard keys. It would really help them if I am not wrong.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ofcourse I don't mind :). I knew it should work and I think the problem is more in the build process. But it is difficult to debug when the phone reboots in the start of the boot process, with some strange errors. I shall see if it works when installing after the first boot. Then I can make it a separate download (and remove it from the install options).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
@1982strand ..many a times hardware keys dont work ,hence softkeys come in handy!

@marange that wud be an awesome idea!! :good:
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Thx dude:good: the last uploadis very smooth:D

But what could be the reason be, that I haven't enough internal memory? Don't understand this message...?

Using CM7r2 hboot...
[Desire Android Development] noonamer:
its can be enable/disable, before it was on BCM ROM n other, its can made like put/get int from framework.jar, but i didnt remember where i see that.
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
missing gmail app... someone else, too?
[Desire Android Development] acuk:
It was removed, so just download GMail from Google Play.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yes, I think it is possible with some extra coding. But I don't have the time to implemented it outside MIUI. Maybe later (or when someone has a patch).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Some other people reported the same problem. It looks like it has something to do with the SD-ext scripts. Look around the thread and see for some solutions (I think the solution was to use one of the other scipts, but don't remember which one).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ok, looks like installing it after the first boot works without a hitch. I got the softkeys working on 2.8.31 (as a separate install). Now a little more testing and I will release the 2.8.31 (still based on sandvold 0.8.1. Also working on a new base, but that takes a lot more work, so that needs more time).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
@marange :--> I hve found a post in galaxys3 section , nemesisre posted a script which can help you for softekys.

sincerely hope it helps :fingers-crossed:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Thanks for the hint. Will look into it and see what it does.

[Desire Android Development] SilverRanger:
Hi marange,

Thanks for the great rom!

It seems like htc_ime.apk is removed compared to other MIUI ICS rom. To use it, is it just a simple matter of extracting it from another MIUI rom and putting it back to system/app folder? Anything else needed?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
What does htc_ime does ? I don't know if it works. It depends how much it needs the htc framework stuff. You could try and see what happens ;).

UPDATE: Found it. It is the HTC Keyboard. I see that other type phones can use it also, so it looks like it does not depend on the sense framework, so I guess that it works.

Thx. I am very happy with 8.20 (the stabiliest miui had ever - even it's in english). I want try the latest one.

But if searching this scirpt by same problem, I ain't sure if that would make my rom instabile:confused:

The extencens - are this to disabling the lights, have I understand this right?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
It should not make your ROM unstable. Make a nand backup and try. With the backup you can always go back to your stable state, if you find a problem. I updated to the 2.8.31 without trouble, so an update to 2.8.31 should not give you trouble (but to be sure, always make a nand backup ;) ).

What script are you using at the moment ? Try another one (I use LX-D2X which works very well with my SD-card) and see if it helps. If not, reinstall with the script you are using now.

Missed the question on the extensions.

one disables the hardware button lights, another one enables the softkeys and there is a combination of both (it is not possible to install both, because the changes in the resources are both in framework-res.apk, so they will override each other, thats why there is a combo).

Nice build with soft key on screen...but i dont know if you noticed one thing...when you open the keyboard the bottom is cropped by the soft key on screen..and the spacebar is so thin..and is so easy wrong and come back to homescreen..
[Desire Android Development] llfbandit:
Not much to say excepting that's a really nice update again Marange.

Thank you for the change of the default language. Maybe you did it for only one person, so I do appreciate it.

Screen wake up is much more responsive with this update and we're able to answer calls too :)

About base ROM, Sandvold is focusing 0.18 on reception and RIL updates. For me, it could me the first reason to start

thinking

of updating it.

I experience myself poor reception quality compared to stable GB.
[Desire Android Development] _SpAiK_:
Hi people, since I installed 2.8.20 with Amarullz D2SD-EXT I've been experiencing a lot of slowdowns in performance. I think my 8gb class 2 sd is causing it. Now that I'm going to update to latest version I would like to ask you what would be the best script for my class 2 card and also what is the preferred hboot because I'm using CM7r2 and I might change it if I can get better performance.
[Desire Android Development] djsynth:
with a class 2 sd card which is slower than average i believe, best script to use would be in my opinion pc-a2sd
[Desire Android Development] _SpAiK_:
Well, it may be a class 4 as I've done a speed test and results are 6.4MB/s writing and 24.7MB/s reading speeds.
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Great update, so nice to see software buttons implemented! Gonna give it a try tonight probably. Thx marange :cool:
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Actuall I have LX-D2X script. As saw, it makes troubles with restoring onlyy apps which was backuped from miui GB rom. By sistem restoring there's no problem.

I will flash in few minutes now the issued version an let myself be surprised. As I habe flashed before with german language, I had lot of troubles with running rom.

I can recommending all with those my problems to flash this one in origin.

I know, Bravo Data++ hboot is recommended. am not sure, actually I have CM7r2 and it running better the with Data++ hboot... could it be?
[Desire Android Development] l0minus:
Hey Marange,

Well I`m still using your rom ;) a little busy at work, so not so much on the forum,....

But every now and then stil updating and yes it`s still working very very nice (sometimes a little bit slow, but that`s fast enough for me at my age :p)

Thanks again, and keep the good work!
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Don't understand.... made full wipe, wipe memory and sd-ext. After succesfull flashing and rebooting it startet. After this lot of FC's " muio home doesn't reaction" and "miui home" closed, by typing ok button the same FC again and again. So it wasn't possible to starting.

Me idiot..... :eek: forgot an nandroid. After flashing 8.20 I have the problem, that my Desire doesn't starting. It makes the reboot, but still belive in the boot animation.

What's going wrog?? To reachable tomorrow by phone swithcing now for the days to Sandvolt. Hope sombody can help me out of that case bro's:good:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Very sorry to hear that the update gave you so much trouble :(. And very strange that you have FC's. Only thing I can think off is a corruption on the sd-card. Someone had the same problem (a very unstable system) and in the end it was a corruption in the second partition. Try to reformat the second partition. And did you wipe the dalvik cache (located under the advance menu option) ?

And (sorry to say it) never ever forget to make a nand backup ever again...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
You should never restore the system from a miui GB Rom. And to be honest you should also not restore the apps. Apps only could work, but including app data could give an issue if ICS stores that data differently. But the system is a very big no no. GB system is very different then ICS, and could give you a lot (and I mean a lot) of trouble. I am very surprised you got a running 2.8.20. What I am doing is, when I need to wipe data, is to make a nand backup (I make a lot of nand backups, sometimes more on 1 day when I test different builds ;) ) and also make a titanium backup. So after a wipe and the system runs stable, I restore the titanium backup. When the system is unstable, I restore the nand backup. But always from a ICS version, never from GB.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I use touchpal and don't have the problem. Only the letters and the buttons are a tiny bit smaller without the soft keys. See:

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Class 2 is the a lot slower and class 4 is also a bit on the slow side. Problem is that the apps/data is stored on the sd-card and android tries to access it from time to time. So how faster the card, how faster the response in this case will be. The best case would be all in internal memory because that's the fastest, but the memory is to small to run ICS, so there is a trade off. So the SD-ext script used shall have some influence, but when the card is slow, it will show in the response of the system. Nothing that can be done about this.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I also noticed a more responsive system in the 2.8.31. Xiaomi did some work on this and IMHO it does show.

And I am looking at all the options for the new base. At the moment I am not quite sure I will continue with sandvold as a base. With every new version there are issues with the release which get fixed in .x releases, but it would mean that I need to repatch to incorporate this fixes again and again (nothing against Sandvold. He is doing his thing in his own way, no problem what so ever), so I am a bit reluctant at the moment. I am looking at alternatives and see what it will bring. Just be patient ... as some people know, I am doing a lot which will never see that light of day ;) ...

Can i use MIUI Backup from version 2.3.2 and restore with this MIUI?
[Desire Android Development] 3raser:
Is version 2.3.2 running on GB or ICS?

Backups from GB cannot be restored on ICS. You can read that several times in this thread, even on the previous page.
[Desire Android Development] sn33ky:
It is GB. Ok read the entire startpost. I will install everything manually again.
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
CM / AOKP versions are already a little bit heavy by the stuff they bring. They're good, but they got their own resources to be spent on.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I would love to fix bugs, but with only this small piece of text, it is impossible for me to even reproduce it. I don't have reboots when running gallery or taking pictures (if I had I would have looked into it, don't you think ?).

So again, if there is a problem, please give me as much information as possible. Don't assume that when a problem occurs that everyone has that problem. It could be something local to your phone or setup. And ... a logcat will help tremendously.

Keep in mind that I am a one man operation and I don't have time to start chasing problems (which maybe don't even exist in my setup).

[Desire Android Development] microshiroku:
Even u are using class 6 doesnt give good performance too, the best script is still pc-a2sd for me.

Thanks to marange, the latest update made these script works. Really good job.
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Superb !!! This could be. Even making full wipe.

Hmmm, you wrote second partition. I made this partition with 4Ext recovery. Should I restore from the laptop back to the sdcard after formating that second partition?

I think 16 GB class 4 should be oki, or?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
The second partition is the ext 2, 3 or 4 partition. If it is correct you should be able to format the partition without destroying the data on the first partition. But if you want to play save, make a backup from the data on the first partition. I always format the second partition under linux or gparte, but maybe 4Ext also works. I don't know 4Ext. Maybe someone else has some experience they want to share ?

A class 4 sd-card is a slower card. I use a class 6, so I don't know what it feels like speed wise.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Actually I have class 4 - but ordered now class 10 (hope for better running).

Hi Marange,

First of, lover your rom! Its been my daily rom for quite some time now.

I had a few issues with the update to 2.8.31. When installing the new rom, wiping everything, MiuiHome kept force closing, never showing the home screen. Tried some different a2sd scripts and kernels but still the same problem. Eventually i deleted the MIUI folder en the sd card and that seems to have solved the problem. Just thought i'd let you know :)

Keep up the great work!
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Oh I see... I guess for the lightest, most stable rom then it'd have to be Nikez Lente.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

Thanks for the hint. Will keep it in mind if people have the reported problem. Very strange that it only occurs with some people and not everyone.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Problem is that Nikez Lente is not updated anymore. Nikez is concentrating his efforts on JB (which I understand completely. There is only so little time in a day ;) ). At the moment I am looking at Spazedog ICS. I know that I can get MIUI patched in, because I did the same (as a test) on BCM. I don't know how it will run, I first need to finish the initial patching and see if this is the way to go. In the mean time I keep an eye on the other ICS bases ...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] _SpAiK_:
Yes, I reinstalled 3 times but always the same. Now I'm back to 2.8.20 which works perfect with pca2sd, no more slowdowns. I'll wait till your next update and try again.
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
I don't think (I wish they did, but I don't think so) everyone will keep their ICS maintenance for longer. Everyone or almost everyone except for Sandvold if releasing a JB, and Sandvold is planning on it as well. So I think sooner or later they'll be discontinued.

How long do you take to patch a rom to test the base with the patchrom Marange?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I noticed that people are looking at JB a lot. That's why I am looking at Spazedog, because they have a ICS and JB build and hopefully the switch to JB will be easier when I get ICS patched. But I need to look at the end result. That is the most important, not the used base.

And because I can only work on it in spare time, and also keep the sandvold 0.8.1 version up to date, I only have very little time to work on the new base. But I hope to have the initial patching finished this week, but I really don't know for sure. Real life keeps interfering ;).
