The ROM is a MIUI Rom. MIUI stock, so yah ... it does look a bit like an iPhone (maybe, I don't really think so ;) ). But that's MIUI, not something I did. Xiaomi made the ROM and I do only the port. So it is not something I can (or will) change. But you can use another launcher, so that it looks a bit more to your liking.

And to be clear, I don't aim to make the best ICS ROM,I only try to get MIUI v4 on the desire. Nothing more, nothing less ;).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Could you give a bit more information ? Does gallery reboot immediately or ... ? If possible, a logcat would be nice ...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
What SD-EXT script are you using ? What are the settings in the installer ?

To remove the search button tweak, disable it in the installer settings (default is off, so I guess you accidental enabled it), when reinstalling (can be done without a wipe).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
This is an MIUI issue. More people asked about it (for other phones), but I never saw a solution. Maybe someone else has an idea ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
I understand, thanks for info mate! Would be really interesting if someone has a solution for this indeed as I think it is the only thing lacking atm. Besides that the rom is brilliant, having a great time since I flashed it. I was worried about random reboots and FCs but that just doesn't happen. Btw a tip from me regarding themes: be careful if you guys apply the angry birds theme since it seems very demanding on the hardware and caused my phone to crash and I barely managed to get into themes and apply another one. Might be just me and my phone but just wanted to let you guys know! ;) Just curious, this theme actually uses the new 'free launcher' concept, right? It sure does look very creative and innovative I must say. If I could get my hands on that Mitwo phone next year, boy that would roc k!
[Desire Android Development] philocritus:
put google now substituting the default search.

it works, when we press the search button it searches on google.

widget I dunno :( but the default widget searches using google now if you have it.. so I guess it should work well
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Did you try the angry bird "free launcher" ? I did try it, but found it very difficult to use. The concept is nice, but very difficult to get my mind around it. Maybe with another theme it would work better. It did take a long time to download and install.

At least I was very surprised it worked out of the box and did not trigger a problem in the patching ;).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
What do you mean with "put google now" ? Do you mean installing google now ? I thought google now did not work on ICS.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Yes, exactly this one :) After some troublesome downloading and installing/applying it did work actually pretty good, like you said. But after a reboot I got quite the trouble since it kept loading something and then everything went into a force close frenzy ending with me barely being able to open Themes and applying stock theme (which is the slickest imo, I only change the lockscreen of it!). But concept seems rather very interesting and would love to see it with a more polished and may I say mature theme ^^ You know, angry birds are fine but I don't see myself using such a theme, more like a theme that would please children..My gf loved it though, hehe :o

You know like the theme in the advertising clip on youtube from MIUI where they show like a retrospective view on smartphone progression and then we get a glimpse of that super slick theme that looks like a room with a desk and everything? Also there was one with a space ship cabin that also looked very impressive - you have those monitors on the right that are actually toggles for BT, Wifi etc.. Really digging this whole idea.

Hi, I think it's time to upgrade from 2.3 and I'm going to test this rom. Now I have the CM7r2 hboot and would like to know if I would get into problems. Back when I installed my actual MIUI 2.3 rom I had to install this script to let me install big apps from market, is this necessary/compatible with this rom? And btw, is it possible to use Amarullz's data2sd-ext?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
There should not be a problem with CM7R2. The system is a bit small, but that's solved by moving more to the SD-card. About the extra script. When installing Marange MIUI you'll get the option to include an SD-ext script, like Amarull'z data2sd-ext. So that should not be a problem.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] philocritus:
Yes it works on ICS!

and it only requires a simple substituition of the googlesearchprovider.apk.

I've tried it on several roms, includind your's :)

I use CM7R2 and L2X and it works fine :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Thanks for the information on Google Now. Will look into this further and see if I can make it an option for the installer

[Desire Android Development] fire_kid2003:
i am using EXT 4 (600mb) with remaing 14.8GB as fat32 (16gb card)

Data switching method = AD2SDX by Amarullz

OTA recovery = ClockworkMod

Swap Method = None

Kernels = Taimat Kernels

System Modification = Ad Free hosts + Search button Patch

Here is the full path i take

1 = Click on the app update (& and an annoying message pops up, i've tried to disable it but it keeps popping)

2 = Download starts normally

3 = around this the download stops for a few seconds

4 = BAM! the error pops up saying i dont have enough internal space (i have remaining 300 mb on ext 4):eek:
[Desire Android Development] fredericc38:
Hi,

That happens to me yesterday. I have uninstalled Facebook and after a couple of restart, I install it like charm... Strange....

Despite, I got another settings than you.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
About the kernel. It is an option to use stock or shaky's (I use shaky's) kernel. These use the new hardware libraries and are a tiny bit faster then the tiamat kernel.

1. I also get the annoying popup. I don't know why, probably part of the new google play. Really annoying and I don't know how to disable it.

4. Very strange. I don't use facebook, but maybe a uninstall, reboot, install works ? Otherwise, could you make a logcat, so that I can see what the error in the log says ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] fire_kid2003:
Nope

Uninstall did nothing

neither did cleaning cache did

if i over write this rom with again the same zip, will my setting remain the same such as MIUI home and such ?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Very strange that it does not work.

You can just reinstall without problems. It will keep your settings, without a wipe

Marange
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
I have the same problem. Maybe it's the hboot... I use data hboot. Now the storage claims there is only 25 Mb left, this is what is on system partition. In my opinion it should refer to data partition...

Maybe there is a wrong symlink ?

Greets soronk
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
I use Data++ hboot with 140 mb free and I have around 60 apps user installed. I use the PC-A2SD option in the installer (only moves apps and dalvik cache). What option are you using?
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
I use the PC-a2sd option too. Never had any problems before...
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Oh system shows 20 mb? That should be right. The installer tries to fit as much as it can on the system partition. Data partition should have more than 100 mb remaining depending on how many apps you have installed.
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
hey guys

the real problem was me! I forgot that i changed to stock hboot ;)

so everything is ok with my setup and the behaviour of my desire :)

greets soronk!
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ok, I am glad that there is not a new problem I somehow introduced :). I did not change anything on the SD-card script part (intentionally). Only change is the introduction of z-ram and I don't think that should interfere with the SD-card scripts.

Marange

(who has a bootloop on the 2.8.24 version :(. Need to figure out what happened there)
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
@All,

I also had the above mentioned message. Full wipe helped it all :) My settings:

- SD EXT File System: EXT3

- Data Switching Method: LX-D2X by Lennox

- OTA Recovery Binary: ClockworkMod

- Swap Method: none

- Kernel: Shaky's kernel

- System Modifications: Ad-Free Hosts, aGPS patch, AOKP dictionary pack, Install Search Button patch

Because I don't need performance and to use as little battery as possible I use govenor "conservative" and app "JuiceDefender".

Hope that helps. Any other suggestions welcome.

Gregor
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

Glad it works for you now. I just don't understand why a full wipe did help (glad it did thou). Looks like it is not a SD-ext script problem, but maybe a problem on the SD-ext partition. Maybe a small corruption which is solved by a full wipe (which does format the partitions if I remember correctly).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] djsynth:
I Also have the same mentioned above and in a page back about apps not updating from Google play, freezing in the middle of downloading.and showing the pop up that says that I haven't got enough internal storage space when in fact have 40-50+ mob of space.

I've tried clearing Google play cache, tried removing my Google account and re adding it back . Tried rebooting numerous times.

My set up is the following.

Kernel : shaky

Swap partition : yes (don't remember how big, the one that's in the middle.)

Miui version: latest release.

A2sd type : pc-a2sd

A side note, most of my apps are moves to SD card apart from the really small ones)
[Desire Android Development] _SpAiK_:
Hi people, after testing a little bit with this rom I have to say that it works really well and it's fluid. The only thing I should ask about is the camera and video playback. Isn't it running correctly by default or it's me? Video recording is choppy and video playback it's also not working well. I have some videos recorded with the last rom I had and they aren't playable.
[Desire Android Development] djsynth:
use mx player for video playback, watched a whole movie using it and its more or less flawless playback, no stuttering etc
[Desire Android Development] saber.srod:
Does this work on bravoC G7
[Desire Android Development] marange:
i don't know what the bravoC is ? Is that the CMDA version ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Video recording is a problem with the ICS Rom. The desire is just not capable of handling the 720px video. Some people reported that videoillusion cam and a resolution of 480 works better. I cannot confirm this ...

Video playback can be done with MX Player and that works without trouble (for me at least).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] NiksaVel:
First of all, I just wanted to say thank you for this great ROM! This is my first try at MIUI and ICS for that matter and I have to say that I am impressed.

Was running CM7 stable for the past year or so and my desire started overheating and rebooting on it's own every now and than during intensive stuff like GPS... two weeks ago this behavious intensified with not even being able to use youtube... wipes and reinstalls didn't help. Found several threads with people having similar problems... appears some desires have this design flaw.

In any case I have been running this ROM for 2 days now with not a single reboot and it works great.

The only issue I have so far is with LED notifications. If I turn them on in settings, than whenever the phone boots up I am greeted with a "Unfortunately, LED notifications has stopped working".

With the option off, than every mail and sms turn on a constant blue led indicator (no blinking). With the option on (in spite of the error at bootup and later every now and than) the blinking notifications work, but the constant blue is also there... (the blinking color is superimposed on the blue one - i.e. blue is constant on, and my green blinking notification ands up with blue and cyan color blinking).

Anyone else has this issue? Anyhting I can do to resolve it?
[Desire Android Development] saber.srod:
Yeah its the CDMA Version
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
The CDMA version has different hardware, so a GSM ROM wouldn't work on a CDMA device. If you check the Desire Index, there are a list of CDMA ROMs there, looks like one or two MIUI versions as well.. Hopefully that will help a bit. :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
There is a lot of CMDA code in it, but I don't know if that is working. You could try, but make sure that make a nand backup, so you can go back if it does not work.

[Desire Android Development] iLPunisher:
Hello man, i had a problem installing this ROM.

Once i tried to flash in recovery i got an error message saying lockscreen_011.jpg was missin so the update couldn't go on :eek:

What can i do? :)
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Try redownloading the rom and check the md5 code so you know it downloaded fine.
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
What recovery are you using? You should turn verification off in options
[Desire Android Development] 3raser:
HBOOT version?

My bootloader says

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001

What HBOOT version should i choose in the aroma installer? Because i have the feeling that the PC-a2sd does not work at all. I am constantly getting errors about "insufficient space". I normally choose the stock HBOOT, but i guess that's wrong?
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Depends on how many apps you have installed. With PC-A2SD on stock hboot you should get to 40 user apps fine. Few more than that and you'll get insufficient space messages. Stock hboot would give best performance since you have the most amount of system files on internal memory.

In PC-A2SD you only have user apps and dalvik cache moved to sd-ext. System apps and all app data would remain on internal storage on data partition which gives better performance than moving the data. I use Data++ since it leaves a lot of storage left on data partition which is used for apps and data while still leaving more storage on system partition than CM7r2. I personally recommend Data++ hboot with PC-A2SD if you have more than 40-50 apps or if you have a fast sdcard (class 6 or class 4 sandisk and above) then go for AD2SDX.

I'm not an expert so not sure if I'm right so just correct me if I'm wrong :)
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
If you have not changed your hboot, you have "stock" hboot. Easy! ;)

If you don't have tons of apps, your problems may be because of a bad sd partitioning or something like that.

pawan1993 is right too
[Desire Android Development] 3raser:
Ok, so i tried Data++ HBOOT with Lennox LX-D2X installation. Seems to work great, got a ton of space. But the Play Store doesn't work any more! It says he can't download stuff (not the exact error message).

So i tried Data++ with PC-A2SD installation. Now my free space is all gone after restoring my MIUI backup with apps.

I would like to use the A2SDX scripts because they seem to work best. Are there any known issues with the Play Store? I'll try again with a clean install and without restoring my backup.

By the way: i got a 32Gb class 10 microSD card with a 1Gb ext3 partition.
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Man, I have 28.7Mb free internal memory according to Titanium Backup and 75Mb free according to Menu > Settings > Apps > All...And I am getting those Insufficient Storage messages. For example I cannot even install XDA app now... Stock Hboot here using PC-A2SD and my SD card is partitioned perfectly with gparted (I figure it is because scripts like m2sd have withouth issues). Its really weird...
[Desire Android Development] fire_kid2003:
Yes most of us have this problem and its also in the base Rom

It will be solved soon (i hope)

until then think of blue LED better then nothing

lolz

I had the same problem a few days ago

just re install the rom without a wipe and change the kernal other then whatever you are currently using

Problem hopefully will be solved
[Desire Android Development] iLPunisher:
I downloaded different versions of miui but same story with every single one :(

I'm running amonRa 2.0 or something like dat :) I'll try later turning off verification, ty!
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
Try installing an other Recovery - amonRa is out of date and can cause some errors
[Desire Android Development] _SpAiK_:
Thanks, played with MX Player and works. I think most of the videos I recorded on the past weren't at 720p but I remember that the Desire was capable of it. I haven't seen an option to switch recording resolutions in the default camera app, but I wouldn't mind recording at 480p if 720p is a problem.

I've also noticed a bug (maybe reported already), when switching off and then back on wifi from the toggles it will not work. And also after installing Chainfire3D some graphics are messed, so I think it's not working well under ICS.
[Desire Android Development] someone755:
The Desire IS capable of handling 720p videos, but video recording is a mess on all 4.x ROMs for the Desire... Looks like only the stock HTC ROM is able to stably record 720p video...
[Desire Android Development] NiksaVel:
Hi, one more question from a new user to MIUI in general... I have installed Onemediahub and imported all my contacts... this is a standard practice I use for all ROMs.... however, all my onemediahub contacts although available under contacts seem to be read only... when I try to edit all the values are grayed out and I can't change or edit any value... is this a permission issue or something?

Any ideas? Is anyone succesfully using onemediahub?
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I agree with ph87 here, I used Amon-RA recovery for ages on my desire because I found it to be better than the others when it came out. But I switched to 4EXT Touch around the same time I started using this ROM because of issues with the installation.

Try 4EXT Touch, I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed. :)
[Desire Android Development] NiksaVel:
Is it possible to lower camera quality from 720?
[Desire Android Development] Moscow Desire:
Hey Mate,

Quick question. I notice the current build is 2.8.20 which contains the FC fix for incoming calls.

However, I see only build 2.8.17 available. Or at least am I missing a download link to 2.8.20 somewhere in the OP and in the thread and just not seeing it?

Or maybe I'm reading the change log wrong (most probable)

Thanks!

MD
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Use 4ext touch. Superb one.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Looks like the link for 2.8.20 is actually missing from the OP, there's a link in this post way back on page 179 though. :)
[Desire Android Development] NiksaVel:
I think it's just a typo.. the one under 2.8.17 is actually the latest one. I installed taht one and it says 2.8.20 under settings/about

The link below for 2.8.17 is clearly marked as "REMOVED"...
[Desire Android Development] 3raser:
I am now running good with the Data++ HBOOT and Lennox A2SD script. After install i first opened the Play Store. It then updates itself to the latest version. After that i installed the gmail app and restored my backup. Everything seems to work and the Play Store handles everything just fine. My storage tells me i have 529MB left. That should be enough for almost everything i would like to install in the future.

One thing though: the app list shows other numbers at the bottom about storage. The difference is about 50MB. It doesn't bother me but can it be explained?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yep, I messed up the OP. The latest version points to the 2.8.20. Just messed up the text. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Desire Android Development] marange:
I am still here

Hi,

Just a small note of what is going on. I am still here, but not as often as usually. This is the last week of my vacation and we have visitors over, so I need to spent some time with them (as ordered by the missus ;) ). But I am spending time on the ROM. Sadly the build of 2.8.24 is bootlooping and at the moment I have no idea why this is happening. I tried to repatch some things, but the effect is the same. I see that some other ROM builder have the same issue, but I haven't found a solution yet. At the same time I am looking at updating to another base ROM, so it will take some time to get a new ROM up and running. But I am working on it ...

Later,

Marange
[Desire Android Development] NiksaVel:
I've been using the ROM for several days now, and while I am very impressed overal, I have two minor problems and one major.

1. minor - LED notifications not working properly - I understand this will be fixed soon...

2. minor - video recording - is it possible to lower the recording resolution and would it work okay?

3. MAJOR - after restoring all my apps and installing the new ones from the play store (I have about 60 now) the whole system seems VEERY slow... it takes about 15 secs for gmail to open after clicking on the icon and about 10 secs for messanger... seems quite strange... did I mess something with my setup or is this normal?

I have the stock class 2 SD card - coud this be the reason for the extreme slowness and lag? I see people are commenting that the ROM is really slick and fluid...

I have selected all the default options during the install ...

Should I increase the swap size? Would it make a difference?

When long pressing home button for the task manager I see about 450/500 Mb .. is this normal?

Just to add.. I've set the governor to smartassv2 and i/o noop with no-frills.

Any advice from anyone?

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

also... if some of the more experienced members would care to explain the difference between the choices for kernel/swap and data2ext options I guess all the more n00bish guys would be grateful :) I'd even go as far as to suggest that it might be nice to have suggested settings on the OP... unless the default settings are that already...

thanks...

Hi marange,

take as much time as you need - you do a great job here. Your real life should not suffer for your work here. In all my time here at XDA (i follow it longer that i'm a member of it), i never has seen a Developer that spends so much time for his community as you do! You taking time for each Question - as stupid as they are sometimes ;) - you answering! Respect!

Stay as you are and let your great work continue. And a big Thank you from me, that you help us, to keep the good old Desire at life :).
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Swap would actually lower the performance. Have you tried a reboot? Installing so many apps can slow it down so try a reboot. Also what type of data2ext are you using? Backing up with data from other roms (especially if they're not ics) is not recommended. Try installing just the apps.

The fastest kernel for me is Shaky's and plenty of people use it. Kernel choices are pretty much dependent on how you use your phone. Try each one and see what's best. Usually no swap is the fastest option and for data2ext the less you move to the sd-ext partition the faster it will run. For more space for your apps use amarullz i.e. ad2sdx or Lennox's version of ad2sdx. For better performance while still having space for apps, use PC-A2SD with data++ hboot.
[Desire Android Development] NiksaVel:
Thanks for the prompt reply... one more question... it's not possible to change kernel and swap without reflashing, right?

Will buy a new class 10 card tomorrow and than try to redownload and reinstall everything...
