Thanks for posting Marange, always nice when a dev or porter stays in contact with his users.

I've kinda got it sorted now: went back to a completely stock setup, stock hboot, stock sense (omg how different that felt!) rom, and then restarted the process of going back through changing hboot to data++, then back to your rom 0.8.1 base and fingers crossed everything is ok now, apart from wifi being a bit slow.

May have just been my network? I'll never know. However, I do really enjoy this rom and thank you for the work.
[Desire Android Development] ale8530:
With more and thanks Marange for this port, for the Italian pack will be made on the next version that will release, at moment it is based on sandvod 0.5.4 :) ... all credits go to Marange and lenny_kano are mythical

Can't find folder for DA 2.5.18

Hey 1982Strand,

Can't find the folder with danish translation pack for 2.5.18

Where did it go? ;-)
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
@Marange

In 03lennoxd2x, after the section:

if [ "$i" == "com.android.chrome" ]

then

echo do nothing;

Add the following:

elif [ "$i" == "com.android.browser" ]

then

echo do nothing;

elif [ "$i" == "com.android.email" ]

then

echo do nothing;

This will leave the email and browser data on the next partition instead of internal memory, and hopefully mean internal memory will never fill up when using my d2x (all other system apps use very little data, so can be kept on internal for performance).
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Look at first posting. 1982Strand did update the link.

Hi Lennox,

I will update the script and include it in the next release.

MIUI Music corruption when playing

Anyone experiencing weird "corruptions" for a split second when playing music with MIUI Music player? It's hard to capture when it makes these strange noises, but usually every 5-10 mins or so. I never experienced this noise with the same files with MIUI-Au. I use the shaky kernel and latest MIUI Marange build MIUI V4 2.5.18 (based on 0.8.1 base) Beta.
[Desire Android Development] xepap:
Thx,

But I'm afraid the updated link in the first post only refers to the 0.5.4 version. I've got a fresh install of the 0.8 version. Doesn't work with that version. (makes the home screen look funny with original ICS buttons in the bottom of the home screen).

Guess i'll just stick with English version for now...
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Oeps. Yes, you are right. Sorry. I just noticed the directories and did not look into them (no need for danish language ;) ). I guess 1982Strand will update it soon.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

I normally don't use MIUI Music player, but I am now testing and for more then 16 minutes no problems. I play mp3's with headphones on (maybe this influences the test). How do you play the songs ? Also mp3 ? I even run along the logcat and see no miui related exceptions.

Is it always reproducable ? Even after a reboot ?

EDIT: Ok, got it now also. A kind of Bbbbrrrrttttt sound for a split second after some time.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
Exactly! That's the same sound I get. After further testing it seems like it happens at complete random, there's no specific part in the song/audio book in which it occurs, or even time. Although it does seem to occur more often in this version of the ROM than the last. It also seems to be made worse when the screen is off rather than while using the device.
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
So, I've installed this rom yesterday, and I have to say this:

So far, no issues found. I was able to download lot's of Apps including Google Maps without any sort of issue.

The only thing I noticed is that is a little bit browsing around (I mean through the launcher, icons and stuff, perhaps HWA?) But I'm sure with the following releases it will come out fine.

Good luck, I'm gonna keep using it :)

And don't give up on us, MIUI/ICS for Desire is highly expected. MIUI is a very good looking well done rom, it's awesome to have the ICS version of it :)
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
If your talking here about the jerkyness of the MIUI Launcher then I can confirm also for it to be a bit slow in scrolling/animating. I think this is a known issue.. but Marange or someone else might be able to confirm that. For me the lag is very noticeable coming from MIUI-Au Gingerbread. Changing to another launcher like Go Launcher removes the lag completely.
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Hum I might give it a go, but Go Launcher isn't exactly known for it's smoothness and memory friendly is it? lol. I also kinda like MIUI launcher, I don't mind don't having a App Drawer, but yeah, that's the lag I'm talking about :-) It's smooth, but you notice it specially on the fade in / fade out effects.
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
Yeah I'm not a fan of Go Launcher mainly due to the widgets, having to download the most simpliest of things is quite annoying. ADW Launcher is probably my favourite though I haven't tried that on this ROM as of yet.... Aphex & Nova Launcher are popular ICS launchers too, but for me they experience the same slowness as the MIUI Launcher so no point in installing them :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] J_Dutch:
I just installed this ROM and I like it so far. Thanks Marange!

The only thing that is quite annoying is the fact that scrollable widgets are not possible to use. Is there a way to lock the desktop in MIUI launcher? When I scroll the widgets, they move all over the place.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find a solution.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
I had similar issues in miui xj. Changing cpu governor helped. Dunno if this is the case here.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
The animations just got in, in the 2.5.18 version, so I guess Xiaomi did not yet optimize them.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Could you give an example ? I think it is an miui issue.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] fangthorn:
I've had this problem before when using MIUI-XJ.

I removed and re-installed Titanium to fix it.
[Desire Android Development] J_Dutch:
Well that seems strange to me. I would expect that more people noticed that. I know miui is more for icon people but I love to use widgets! :p

For example I use Apw widgets, add a facebook widget refresh and start scrolling. Than after a few scrolls the widgets lights up and moves as if you would replace it on purpose.

Is there no option to lock the desktop other than with guard mode?

Is there nobody else using widgets.

I also have it with stock android mail widget btw...
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
I think it is an issue from the app because I just read same comment on the Google Play page of this app. Maybe wait for an update. Anywa, gonna try it, I really like those Facebook and Twitter widgets :)
[Desire Android Development] J_Dutch:
Yes, they are really nice. But it's not an issue of the app cause I tried all roms out there, and also all launchers and no problem at all. Just miui. If I launch Apex launcher on this ROM the widgets are working fine...
[Desire Android Development] biron_w:
I can't get wifi working. When I enter my password my signal goes from excellent to poor and it just gets stuck on "authenticating" I know my wifi is working as it's what I'm using my laptop on and writing this with.
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Thanks for detailed reply.. I just mentioned the bug and haven't tried any solutions yet. Mx video player runs nice here with h/w rendering just fine..... Soft reboot just happened to randomly.... I'll try using swap or ksm (if available, haven't checked yet)... Thanks anyway... All other things running fine....

Pathrom help

Hi Marange, great work on the rom so far. I too have patchrom issues and as you say the guides online are not very explicit, so some tips would be great!

Ben
[Desire Android Development] ale8530:
Marange your porting is a very good job! thanks for this
[Desire Android Development] frmax:
you are a life saver! please keep this rom updated with latest sandvold base. good work man!
[Desire Android Development] l0minus:
Dear Marange, thanks for this rom. I was for long time a user of xj's miui rom, but since yesterday I got this one.

After a few reinstalls (first time it would not boot, only bootani was visible and second time small memory prob) it is running smootly!

I even got v6 superscript running now without problems.

One problem I had yesterday was with wifi, I'm using static ip addresses but I couldnt apply them, a bug maybe? After all at once it worked!

Sending from my HTC Desire ICS powered using XDA
[Desire Android Development] ale8530:
Marange for resolved this problem "Fix (hopefully) to the "black screen of death" kernel problem ("on demand" governor) [DOES NOT WORK YET]" you need to upgrade the kernel rom sandvold, because new rom does not have this problem.
[Desire Android Development] jurica_m:
Which hboot give me a lot of space on this ROM? And how often will be update, once a week? Thank you. Great job so far
[Desire Android Development] chickenz88:
hmmm... i stuck at boot animation.... cm7r2 hboot.... wiped everything... why is that?
[Desire Android Development] frankgrasshopper:
Using the rom the last days without problems. I´ve yust read on miui germany, that there is a german translation coming. That would nice.
[Desire Android Development] sudkcoce:
To the ones that were previously on xj miui:

Is this rom better than xj? Why?

Thanks for any reply...
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
Maybe you have too many bad blocks and so the system partition doesn't fit ... I would try data ++ hboot. I have no problems with it.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi Chickenz,

Do you have a second partition on your SD-card? What is the format of the second partition ? I had the first time, when I installed Lennox' Miui-AU Rom, the problem that my second partition was ext-2 formatted (done by Cyanogenmod, so I didn't know) and in the installer I selected ext-3. That gave a boot loop. So make sure that you have a second partition and select the correct format in the installer.

If the format is the same, then I don't know. Can you make a logcat ? Or maybe like soronk suggested, a problem with the SD-card. Had that problem last weekend (which had as an effect that I released my ROM a very days later then planned).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] Androidmarketuser:
Just a general question for MIUI Roms:

How do the Icons look like in App Drawer and so on?

There are icon packages but how will the icons which arent included in the package look like?
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
hboot

Guys, attached is an hboot i made for myself using thalamus hboot patcher(credit to him of course)

table as follows:

system: 200 mb (enough for marange ics, bcm bravo, aokp, sandvold stock)

cache: 5 mb

data: 233 mb (it can take dalvik cache as well if you install normal amount of apps so ALL things are on NAND and no sd-ext is required in any case)

I think its a useful setup which wont be required to change very often if u happen to switch ICS roms....

NOTE: I posted hboot because not all people are comfortable using hboot patcher in fear of bricking their device, so i tested it first on my device....

(BUT in any case, i take no blame for corrupt downloads)

Instruction: Flash using fastboot commander.

MD5:

A33354ED691104227A2C380EE209FBD7

Screen of my setup using marange ics attached...
[Desire Android Development] iacob:
rom is a bit slower when scrolling through the menus/app drawer using the same go launcher + lower battery life than my XJ setup (2.3.30 + Manu kernel)

with the same settings, I noticed though, that live wallpapers are smoother on this ICS ROM.

I have tested it for three days and although it has great potential, I went back to my XJ setup.

Hope this info helps.

Anyone have problems with a2sd? Looks like it is installed, but internal memory is low

Any idea? How to check if a2sd is installed properly?
[Desire Android Development] ruslanvetra:
I have to tell my story.

Before trying to flash this rom i had MIUI XJ on CM7r2 with 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.4 RC 3.

So what i did - i downloaded marange rom ~5 times, and after each flashing a had only android screen and the phone didn`t boot.

So i decided to change hboot to Data++.

I was doing this at work. Hboot change was made via fastboot with PB99IMG.zip method. Beacause the CM7r2 change is possible only through downgrade i used my work computer which is under administrator restrictions. So first i flashed CM7r2 downgrade zip in fastboot. Then i went into recovery, mounted sdcard and changed downgrade zip to Data++ PB99IMG.zip on sd card root with my work computer. And again flashed Data++ hboot in fastboot. After that i tried do go in to recovery and flash MARANGE rom but recovery started in safe mod and i was told that after hboot change i had to wipe cach to boot recovey in normal mod. So i did wipe cach and rebooted recovery. But after that recovery didn`t start and shows an epmty 4EXT Recovery screen so i cant do nothing.

As i said work computer is under admin restrictions and phone fixing at the moment isn`t possible.

That`s the story - truthful and unvarnished.

At home i hope to try to reflash recovery. If this doesn`t help than i will try to return hboot to CM7r2. Maybe this will help me to get into recovery and to flash my backup of MIU XJ.

[Desire Android Development] marange:
It is a MIUI launcher issue. Miui does not support scrollable widgets. There are some patches from Miui laucher, but not for ICS. See: http://androidprowidgets.blogspot.com/p/known-issues.html

Marange
[Desire Android Development] J_Dutch:
thank you, unfortunately cause it's a great ROM...:(

Actually I don't understand it, is it so hard to create a function to lock the desktop? All launchers have this function. And again, when I activate Guard in toggles the widgets are scrollable and they are working fine. So it is possible on miui but they don't want to or... I'm confused! :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I don't know. But let not forget that ICS Miui not yet finished. Xiaomi is still working to implement/port over a lot of stuff. And in the future people will address this, I am sure (just like they did for Miui gingerbread).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] ale8530:
Marange thanks for everything you do, I just wanted to warn you, I'm testing a couple of days a version of BCM 9 3.6.1 Dk_zero, because when you can not try the experiment with more patchrom MIUI with this new rom? is very fast and responsive compared to sandvold, without taking anything away from this excellent work .. most of the porting MIUI are based on CyanogenMod 9 and have good speed, I think it would be a good idea, but since you are the developers, you will be you always decide what to do :).

As always thank you for the great work you are doing :)
[Desire Android Development] djsynth:
Report of experience so far!

My set up is : Running latest version 2.5.18 with 0.8.1 base

Shaky's Kernel

LXD2X

SET CPU - wake - min:245000, max:1113600 - governor:lagfree

- screen off - min:245000, max:4600000 - governor:smartass v2

After first full day of use, had 3 reboots,

1: someone called me and i picked up exchanged a hi how are you and the phone rebooted randomly

2: was listening to music with headphones plugged in - using Mixzing Premium

the phone was in screen off mode and just randomly rebooted.

3rd Reboot about 10minutes ago. received a text message and the phone suddently rebooted.

Got a question : totally satisfied with the ROM and great work by the way! This is much more stable than I though it was going to be.

Was wondering if there's any mod thats been tried by anyone that will re-map the search button on out beloved Desire to Recent Apps Screen/Multi-tasker????

Also I'm experiencing slow start up of some apps not already running in the recent app list. e.g. when i open the app animation runs and either a white or black empty screen follows with about 5-10second delays of actual menus poping up. some apps during the empty black/white screen end up with miui saying " this app is not responding do you want to force close it or wait" then i choose wait and the it starts to work while if i force close it and restart the app have to wait again... not like this for all apps but some few

im pretty sure its to do with LXD2X and my sd-card mabey being slow

is there anything i can do to increase perforamance if my sd card so to increase the speed at which apps open up???

im also running sd increase - which is suppose to increase the transfer download and upload rate of your sd card by increasing the size of the cache on the memory card?? does this help or harm the speed or stability of the system ? or do anything at that matter?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Sorry for the snip, but I just wanted to let you know that I can confirm the second reboot problem. I am looking, at this moment, at the Rrrrrrrrbbbbbtttt sound when playing music and I got two random reboots (one just now), paused the music and walked away from the phone, when I came back was restarted. Sadly no logcat from the expection, so I hope I can reproduce it.

Ok, back to the Rrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbtttttttttttt sound :).

Marange.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I am not quite sure that this will work. MIUI ICS is based on stock ICS and not CM. Old MIUI was based on CM 7, but they decided to base MIUI ICS on stock ICS. Thats why Xiaomi only support phones with an ICS Rom (patchrom patches against the google ICS source base).

And maybe it is possible to change patchrom that it will handle BCM, but I think it will be a tremendous amount of work and CM 9 is still in development. So at the moment I think the time is better spend on getting all problems solved from the current build system.

But thanks for the idea.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] djsynth:
Anybody know a way i can would be able to re map the searck key to the recent apps/multitasker function in this rom?

been looking around, plenty of ways for different phones, wanna make sure it works on this rom and this phone instead of messing up the buttons and or rom not booting etc
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I am not quite sure what you mean by this. Do you mean the same thing as longpress the home button ? Or something completely different ?

Marange

ps. When looking at logcat and playing/pausing music, the phone doesn't reboot :(
[Desire Android Development] djsynth:
yes thats exactly what i mean - being able to use the search button for recent app list

also, ive been listening to music through miui v4 and headphones for about 3 hours and only had 1 reboot during playing so it can probably take a while to replicate, also i noticed in the FAVOURITES section of contacts the "only show contacts with phone numbers" option doesnt work even thoough it is enabled, i have all my skype contacts in the favourite section aswel so the favourite section is a mess lol
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Still looking into this. Did change some underlying code, but no luck there. I am now trying another player and see if it has the same issue. Did you try another player ? I also noticed an the Miui-XJ thread that people are reporting this problem with the player (but sadly no solution), so it is probably not something I broke :). I also got two reboots when I paused miui music player (after a while, when away from phone, so no logcat). I try to recreate the situation, but also no luck there.

ADDED: I am now using mixzing and don't get the sound. It looks like a Miui Music Player issue. A bit strange that it did not occur on the Miui Au ROM. Maybe Lennox has a clue ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Then I guess you'll need to patch framework.jar. I don't think there is an easier way to do this.

I got it twice when the music was paused, after a little while when doing other, "real life" stuff. Now I want to get the reboot and it doesn't ... Btw, did you get a strange sound sometimes (some kind of Bbbbbbrrrrrttttt sound) for a fraction of second when playing music ? Miui music player has it and I try to figure out what is causing this. I now use Mixzing and I did not yet get this (but I did not yet listened for a long time).

I looked at the contacts issue. I see that the option works for the ALL category. I don't know if this is a problem with the MIUI source or something I haven't patched in yet. That makes things always a bit tricky. Is it something I broke/did not patch or something in the original MIUI code. I will see what I can find.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] J_Dutch:
You are right, a little patience would be good with this kind of things.

Thanks for this ROM anyway!
[Desire Android Development] djsynth:
OK well is there any instructions to how i can patch the framework.jar file? im not a developer so i wouldnt know much about coding other than the most basic of java skils which are not very good.

also - ive NEVER heard ANY noises when listening to music, not even for fractions of a second, im a music composer so i would hear it even if it was 1/10th of a second!

but i never used miui player, always just used, Mixzing as to me it is the most advanced music player on android simply because u can have a different EQ set for each song and saved.

as for the contacts, the all contacts section "show only contacts with numbers" function works but with the FAVOURITE section its just a big mess lol but its not a big deal since the t9 dialer is implemented u can find a contact faster than opening contacts, taping favourites tab and scrowling through a list lol

but thanks for the replies and your work, so far im finding it amazing!

there is one more think concerning the music playing but its a very minor thing and its not worth mentioning now bcuz its more of a request for a mod to the sound setup.

when the rom is 100% rock stable then i will ask about it.

thanks again for all your help and keep up the good work, will definately donate when i get some money coming in ;)
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Most of the au rooms didn't include miui music, as xiaomi hadn't done it yet. I'd think its something that's been changed in the music apk between my releases and yours at a guess.

As for the mapping search to recent apps, I could do it easily enough but my question is why? Long press home works, and Modding it would mean you lose the search function. Seems pointless to me.

Hello Marange, in fact, mine was just an idea, then the job is yours and you know what to do to the best of this rom, I can say though that there are some porting as sgs that are based on CyanogenMod 9 .. :) . that's all :), but thanks for the reply :)
