In the Aroma installer, what exactly is the "media profile" option?
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Been using the latest MiUi.us build past few hours, all OK except that updater and messaging keeps fc'ing out. Updater was fixed by just killing the app. But messaging not sure how to go about fixing it. Tried clearing data as well, but that doesn't seem to fix it either.

Same here. I can text people and such, but pressing back out of the Messaging app seems to be what is causing the issue. I can upload a logcat if needed, I have sent emails in from Miui crash reporter.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm working on it...there's an error in the Mms.apk I'll have an hotfix soon. I'm still working on the Updater FC as well :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
MIUI.us 2.9.7 Hotfix

Corrects Updater and MMS FCs.​
[Motorola Photon 4G] tayzer522:
No problems here after flashing the fix!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Corrected Builds are UP on Jokersax.com :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Thanks a lot Bill!

Messaging and Updater works A-OK after flashing the fix! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
This shouldn't affect those of us who used the Aroma installer yesterday morning right? I've installed the hotfix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
No need to re-download....hotfix is only change in this latest upload
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
standard rom takes me to a 404 not found page. actually they both do...looks like the download page is down i guess

edit: i like this lil animated desktop thing too. any idea if there will be anything like this for other roms?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Links are Fixed. Sorry about that fellas. :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Is there a way to fix the back button exiting an app? I wouldn't say all, but most apps will exit when I press the back button - then I have to re-enter, and pressing back again it works fine. I was just using the MIUI browser, viewed a picture, then hit back and it closed the app. Reopened app, then pressed back, and it works fine....is it MIUI?

Also, my data seems to shut off after a while. This morning I had to reboot the phone to get the data working, it seems to shut off after an extended time of just sitting?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Unless Bill says that something is actually broken I would try a full wipe because I couldn't recreate the issue. I tried browser, messaging, and the xda app.

Again I would say try a full wipe. Just left my phone unused for about 9 hours and data responded immediately.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Go into Settings > Complete Settings > Button under Back Key make sure "Long-press Back to kill App" is not selected.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I don't think that's the problem he isn't holding it down I've seen a normal press do the same thing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I've never experienced that problem in any of Bills ports of MIUI, I do however use Long-press Back to kill apps. Just a suggestion.
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Its not selected, but also not the issue, I use that feature a lot too. I guess it could be my launcher, I may switch and see what happens.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
HWUI SETTINGS.

I edited settings to include the hwa settings.

I'll fix icon later.

Cheers!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Same with me that's why I suggested a full wipe or maybe just a cache wipe.

What's this? I'm flash happy so I flashed it lol. Seems to stopped the transitions jitter but maybe that's temporary. Also the updater is FCing again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I helps some w jitters. Which build are u on and when did u download?

I ask because I have fixed that apk on latest upload which I posted late last night.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AaronEmoBoi:
The hwui settings causes a FC of settings when I open it :(

Sent from my MIUI Jelly Mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Clear Cache...may need to wipe Data.

I used same file on my Phone, so I know it works :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I downloaded the miui.us aroma after that hot fix was incorporated. Tuesday night maybe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Did you wipe-all? If not, that's most likely the issue. I would say wait, as I have something kinda cool in the next upload coming most likely tonight

Yes...I've build it into the Settings. I have to fix the icon size, but it will be in the upload to come soon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Ah sh*t, digging deep! Nice work on building it in man! Looks good so far!

I might just have to try it out for myself once you get it uploaded :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Updated Again!

Toolbox now accessible from Settings

HWA Settings included

E-Mail FC fix included

Updater FC fix included

Cheers!​

I flashed the last Miui 14/9 , I wiped all and installed all apps one by one, but still I get the error ( Unfortunately, Permission Manager has stopped )
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....I'm finishing up 2.9.14 MIUI right now. It's going to be a little bit different. For those of you who are more familiar with my ICS builds, you'll know what I'm talking about.

I'm going to be making the rom a 2 part flash:

1) AromaBase-will have the base rom as well as the PHONE-ONLY related mods inside it. It will be built in Aroma, so it will have options for prop, storage, media type, and USSC fix.

2) Option Overflash. Will have the optional items that are not immediately related to phone....launchers, music players, file managers, etc.

Before you groan, I have a couple distinct advantages to this setup:

1) Option overflash will work for ALL my JB roms...not just one. So, for those of you who like to jump around, you'll only have to download it again when I re-do the file, which I figure will be a twice a month (unless needed to be done sooner) event.

2) For those of you who are going to STAY with MIUI, you won't have to re-flash the overflash after unless I instruct you that you need to. I will test a no-wipe flash with each build and see if anything borks. If it doesn't, you just need to wipe cache and you're good. Since the only files that will change in the /system folder will be related to the PHONE portion of the rom, you won't have to worry about having to re-download updates of Gapps, etc

3) This will make each file MUCH smaller. Each weekly update of MIUI will be around 160MB, compared to the 280 the current Aroma takes up.

With any luck, I'll be uploading within the hour :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
ROM zips are UP on Jokersax.com

Aroma-Base-Phone Only Options

Options Chooser-Additional Options and Mods :)

CHEERS!​

EDIT: HAD TO TAKE DOWN THE LINKS TEMPORARILY WHILE I TEST SOMETHING...SHOULD BE BACK UP SOON
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Links are Back UP :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Options Chooser is Fixed :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I just flashed 2.9.14 base and I selected System only wipe. When I booted back up all my contacts were gone, and although there are Google Apps (Gmail, maps, etc) are all installed I can not add a Google as an account in the settings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
When did u download?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Can't wipe system unless u plan to do options after. Wiping system deleted Google framework which I'd not included in rom.

Upgrade is just wipe cache
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Oh well that would explain it. Do you think that'd explain the reason that WeatherbugElite is FCing too? It doesn't stay broken after the 1st FC so I'm not worried about getting a logcat or fixing it just wondering. Also, looks like I downloaded it @ 3p CST on 9/15 and there's a updated version @ 9am CST 9/16 downloading new one now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yeah....on upgrade, just cache. I doubt we'll have too many requiring a full wipe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
Is it a ROM-based necessity that the SD card have two partitions (SD/EMMC or internal memory/sdcarf01)? If not, is there a quick way to remove the partitions without fully wiping and re-installing all the apps?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Your SD card doesn't have two partitions. On a typical install with EMMC set as default. Everything that shows up as EMMC or sdcard0 is your phone's physical memory I believe it starts around 8 GB. And everything that shows up as SDcard or sdcard1 is your removable sdcard card that is inside with your battery.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

So I just downloaded fresh copies of both Aroma base and the JB options chooser and flashed one after the other and selected SDcard as primary and yet the internal memory is still set as SDcard. This seems to be a problem every update -_- no pressure I know you got a lot to do each update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
That is ironic, I'm experiencing the opposite problem, even though I'm choosing to use internal storage as primary, it is saying I don't have an SC card inserted.

The options for storage are switched, when I choose use SD card, it assigns my internal storage, when I select internal storage it selects SD card. Something that needs to be fixed but for anyone experiencing issues with it, just select the opposite of what you want for now.

It seems to be splitting storage in a very odd way, showing my storage as almost full when I barely have anything on my 16GB of internal storage. Themes are also broken once again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
When did u download the file? I had to fix it a few times over the weekend...
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I downloaded the file around 8PM EST last night.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That's really odd, as I used THE SAME Options Chooser to flash after latest AOKP and my SD Card is showing up as my SD Card.

Which app are you checking that is showing it reversed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Also, did you dirty flash (no wipe system) on this or full wipe? I was using this exact build up until last night and themes were working just fine. I'm going to re-test it. I am putting a file into my SD Card named AA-THIS IS SD CARD. To do this, I removed it from my phone, made the folder and re-inserted it into my phone. I will check which mounts as SD Card once I finish flashing both...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
I am using a 16 GB sd card. It appears to split the card's available memory into two sections:

/storage/sdcard1 - total space 5.37 GB (used to be referred to as "sdcard") and

/storage/sdcard0 - total space 8.92 GB (used to be referred to as "EMMC").

I always chose the latter as primary in Aroma installation. As a result, the sd card space is becoming limited while device memory is abundant. I want to have device memory as primary and the sd card undivided. I'm finding folders and files for a single app on both sdcard1 and sdcard0.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hmm....that really is odd. I'm not experiencing anything like that....though I do see where my phone is seeing my SD Card (8GB) as having 8.92GB of space in it....which is weird. I'm going to flash Joker's latest CM10 that this is based on and see if it's a problem that is on that ROM as well. This way, I can at least track down some of the issue...

EDIT: Ok...it's an issue that is on CM10 as well....

Also, Part of reason for some files here some files there is that I have changed the mount points in between builds. I realized just before this week that when someone chose SD Card, it was setting EMMC as their SD Card, which was not my intention... SO...if you had been choosing the same optional apps between builds, you'd end up with some of the stuff on one storage and some on the other...
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I'm not using any app to show it is reversed, when I use the installer I choose internal as primary, and my phone says I have no SD card inserted and when I choose an external SD card, it shows my internal storage. I don't have an external SD card, I only use internal memory therefor it either works or doesn't.

The first time I wiped cache, and realized my SD card would not appear. The second time I did a full wipe- used Aroma installer and then flashed Options over it. The third time, I did another full wipe - used Aroma installer and then flashed Options over it (chose external SD card as primary and my files showed up)

This is one of the problems I am experiencing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
just realized that Joker's CM10 has storages reversed. My THIS IS SD CARD is in EMMC. I apologize for that. I didn't catch it.

I'll re-upload these tonight.

Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure where this is coming from, but it's something that is from the base rom...

Other thing...themes are working 100% over here. You need to make sure that you're using one that is definitely listed as V4. If you just use the ones in the theme app, you're going to get some that are GB (which is still somewhat supported by MIUI China).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Coupon, bibbin, I hope you guys all know I appreciate the latest feedback regarding the rom. It's been a tough week on this build. I do not want you or anyone to think that I am not welcoming of the feedback so that I can make this better. I am trying very hard to recreate any issues so that I can fix them and deliver an excellent product to you all.

I'm in the process of fixing the ROM and the Option Chooser as I write this. I definitely thank you both for taking the time to help out. I can't be everywhere all the time so I definitely rely on people to provide good, useful feedback. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
ROM and Options Chooser re-uploaded. Only need to download em if you want to have the storages set correctly during flash. If you have old version, simply pick the opposite of what you want...

:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I've been using the ROM in all other v4 versions, it would say it was applying the ROM, finish, screen would flicker and nothing was changed. I'm not entirely certain what the issue was. Either way, not the biggest deal in the world.

I would never think you were not welcoming. Thank you for providing us Photon users with MIUI and creating the best phone experience I've ever had, I genuinely appreciate all the work you put into this ROM every week. You rock man.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Have you tried latest upload with themes? I'm on it now, and I've tried 4 different themes, all of which work...

I certainly work hard to make sure everything is A+
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Nah I went back to .7, I'll re-download tomorrow and let you know how it works.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
if you chose miui profile in aroma i cant get past boot screen but the cm10 one works and lets me boot. jus thought id point that out, not tryin to bash anyone
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm actually re-uploading the rom now. I am making it so that you won't need to do report error show log before flashing the next Aroma zip. Prop choices will be deleted at the end of installation (which was why we needed to to that pre-proces in the first place). If you have a failed CWM installation of something, then you will need to do the report error process, but ONLY in that instance. I will also be making a pre-flash that should make it so that people who have previously used Aroma can flash that instead of having to do report error show log. :D​
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
sweet. i actually had problems with themes too. click apply and the progress bar jus disappears instantly and nothing happens

edit: but i jus realized i never did the whole report error process before flashing either of the aroma files
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That's really odd...I've installed this at least 4 times in last 48 hours (keep jumping back to AOKP to test edits, etc), and have never had issues with the themes. Only thing I could say is that I know that JB changed a few things with MIUI, so the themes might not be working right if they themed certain areas that changed...
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
ah that might be it, idk. i did a full wipe, but it still did it even when i tried to apply the default theme. its the first time ive ever had a problem with it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I Reuploaded the ROM and Options Chooser

Report Error/Show Log is a thing of the past. I have it set to delete the choices at the end of flashing :)

First time ONLY, flash Aroma-Prep first, reboot recovery, then flash Rom, flash Options, reboot into Phone

Future flashes will not require the Aroma-Prep

CHEERS!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
Will we ever see another non-aroma version? Imho with the new 2 package system it would seem easier to have a non aroma installer of the core rom and then an aroma based option chooser.

Also is there any equivelent for the recovery settings needed if you're running TWRP? Or should that just work? I ask because the rom has been running great for me since you switched to JB until I tried .14 yesterday and even after a full wipe and installing both packages also had the broken theme error.

One thing I have found a fix for: if anyone is still having problems with Permission Manager crashing, I just restored the settings from the default MIUI backup app from before the app was having issues and all my root apps work fine now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Few issues with this concept

1) There are 3 configurations of Photon....CDMA Sprint, GSM Sprint, and CDMA USSC. That would require the making of 3 different CWM flash files for each of the 5 ROMs I do for Photon (15 in all) That's a TON of bandwidth considering how often I update.

2) I bet you're thinking "You could just put the carrier stuff in the Options Chooser". Problem with that is then I would have to make and maintain 5 Options Choosers....one for EACH and EVERY ROM I do (as the GSM/CDMA thing is actually a difference in the build.prop and a different ril)

I'm not looking to turn this into a JOB. I already spend close to 30 hours a week on this....probably more if I really think about it.

On the Theme thing, the only thing I can say is that it might be TWRP, as I haven't had any issues with Themes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
SU fix will be coming forth soon...it was an improper translation by MIUI.us...their bot made a boo boo in ONE line in the Security app....I'll be uploading the hotfix soon...and the rom in a little longer
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
SU FIX​
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I actually never got a FC on permission manager is that strange?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
ons more, I flashed the last Miui 20/9, but still I get the error ( Unfortunately, Permission Manager has stopped ) in the apps which need root.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That 9.20 file is only the Options Chooser. It doesn't have anything ROM specific. I will upload the fixed ROM today. I placed the HotFix (quick flash zip) in this thread back about a page or so....it is just the word SU FIX...click on it, download and flash that file....voila! Working SU :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If you restored data on the app, you wouldn't. It was a simple error in translation that the data would fix
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
Thank you, after flashing the SU FIX I do not get any permeation problem. :good::highfive:
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I didn't restore anything because I didn't wipe anything flashing the latest version. Weird huh? Guess I'm just lucky haha.

One question, last night I was getting Google Account login failed errors all night. When I clicked on it, it was the login for the account settings for Google. But it "couldn't reach google's servers" on 3G or WiFi it wouldn't login. But the kicker is everything else Google was working perfectly, including the Play Store. Then this morning, no problems. Issue on Google's end?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
The Google "Sign-in" error that some were experiencing last night was most definitely on Google's end. I would assume they were updating their Servers, or at least something in relation anyway.

Both Th3Bill and myself had experienced the issue, along with other users. Its too coincidental that we all experienced it roughly around the same time frame for it to be anything personally done by the user and such.

I'm gonna look and see if there is any official word on this situation, but I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Update

So far I found one article about the Sign-in error. It looks like maybe only Jelly Bean users were the ones that came across the error. The article also mentions that Google Now may have been the culprit...

READ MORE on Phandroid

READ MORE on Android Police

Ok, so according to the masses, the issue was related to Jelly Bean 4.1+ users and Google Now specifically.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I figured as much. Seeing as how there wasn't anything actually wrong it just kept saying there was an error. I was convinced once I was still browsing the internet on 3G and getting the error. Thanks for the confirmation though!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It was funny...I was getting the error all the while it was syncing my contacts, gmail, and calendar...LOL!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok...I finally have 2.9.21 up on Jokersax.com.

I have spent LITERALLY 24 hours out of the last 28 working on this build. There were a bunch of changes and other little pitfalls that created havoc for me to debug it. I finally have it running well.

I also have updated the Options Chooser. It's no longer carrying TiBu. I also re-did the menus. I think it's an improvement. :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I'm wondering if there's a fix for 9016 voicemail text messages on MIUI? They've never really bothered me much until they just woke me up at 12AM...obnoxiously sending me 4 texts.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
?? I've never had this....can you give me more info? LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] popeye331:
does the new build have volume rocker wake, if so i seem to not be able to find it, can some one point me to where it is, thank you
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I'm not running the version yet but in my situation I actually need it. It should be in Settings > Buttons & Keys > Volume Rocker wake.

Edit: I flashed the newest update and confirmed this to the be the location for the Settings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Was busy with work so was stuck with 2.9.7 past few weeks. Directly jumped onto 2.9.21 now, did all the aroma prep install with options chooser

Thanks for all the hard work Bill, been the most stable build so far! :)

Just one question, not sure if its been discussed earlier.. But what is wrong with the gallery? Why does it behave so cranky :D

I usually replace it with QuickPic which is pretty good actually, is it possible to replace the stock gallery app with this app? Haven't seen the stock one in action, but QuickPic is really quick .. LoL!
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
I'm pretty sure that this is a Sprint thing, with the phantom voicemails. For instance, I have always had the two voicemails notifications since being on Miui (or ANY ROM) that won't go away even if you check your voicemail. There are various 'fixes' on the net, involving you load back to stock, check v-mails, then load ROM, but none have ever worked for me. When you load stock Sprint, there are two "welcome to text v-mails' or something, and they are the ones causing the problems, each time your phone is registered on the network the v-mails are sent....I think...
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
The solution I used was texting 9999 "block 9016", apparently this stops Visual Voicemail from working but I don't use VVM so I don't care, I also just delete voicemails, I never listen to them.
