The option no longer exists or at least the toggle setting does not. If you flash something pre-2.9.29 I think the option is in there and you can set it, then flash the newest with only wiping caches and the setting should stick.

At least mine did. If that version isn't old enough try to get your hands on something MIUI that's ICS the option was for sure around before the newer "Menu" key options are in Settings > Buttons.

Maybe that's something MIUI.us could add into the Toolbox.
[Motorola Photon 4G] krish_nank:
Could you please attach the GSM fix you used ..because many of the fixes are available which I tried don't work. By the way was your procedure worked
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Yup. The procedure mentioned by me above worked for CM10 and MIUI.us. It didn't work for AOKP. libmoto_ril.so attached herewith (file inside ZIP as I cannot attach .so files). Copy this file to /system/lib. You will have to modify your build.prop yourself, just change the number on the above line to 3 and save it (ro.telephony.default_network=3 in case of CM10). You can use a file manager to edit the file (I used X-Plore for this).
[Motorola Photon 4G] MIONS:
U CAN USE THIS GSM FIX I TRIED IT WITH MIMU AND AOPK BOTH WORKING JUST FLASH IT BY RECOVERY

if u already flashed a rom wipe it and re flash and flash this fix with it at the same time without rebooting it works
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Will this screw up ROM details in build.prop? Because that was the only problem with the3bill's GSM Fix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
Can anybody help me? I tried GoSMS and couldn't send pictures. I tried sending pictures with wifi and still no luck. I went in to add APN settings again and this time it let me save but when it took me back there are still no APN's showing up. I have continued looking for the ro.telephony.default = 4 but still can't find it. I don't know if the build prop for CM10 would have that while MIUI 2.10.12 would not or what. I keep reading stuff but still do not know how to decipher what part of July and August problems are fixed in newer builds.

When in GoSMS I could get the screen to auto rotate but can't with the stock messaging app but I was having some problems with GoSMS and can deal with the no auto rotate, but would really like to figure out what I have wrong to get it to send picture messages correctly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MIONS:
No its good i tried it just flash it at same time as rom without booting into the rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Definitely not a good idea to dirty flash this over CM10... that was amusing. Haha.

First time running MIUI... it's not bad. I don't like the launcher, but I Got Nova Prime on it and all is well. It wants a SIM card when you boot it up the first time and this can't be skipped. Mentions a Chinese online service a few times. Allowing root is really freaking annoying. How many times do you have to say yes? We get it, root can be dangerous. Other than that... pretty nice.

Doesn't seem to support the official Facebook app. This is from a clean install, ROM and app. I can log in but it will FC before the app can show me anything. Wonder what other apps will fail...
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
Is there a way to set it to actually search and not just take you to Google when you attempt to search something?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
Facebook works great on my Electrify with all MIUI builds since I started....2.9.7
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
You mean when it opens the browser and just Google comes up?
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Another question, do we need to go through CWM, report error, show log, reboot to recovery still?

Also for the Aroma installer do we need to flash CM9 for the libs?
[Motorola Photon 4G] js11222:
First off I love this rom thanx . I'm looking for a black and red theme know of any?
[Motorola Photon 4G] zalaj:
no WiFi?

I have not seen WiFi being an issue for anyone else. However, when I try to connect to any WiFi network it gets hung on "obtaining ip address". this happens on both secured and unsecured networks. At home, work, and in public... is there a setting that I need to change?

and by the way thanks bill, I love this Rom... just need to work out a few kinks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Blue sleep is in this rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yes. I would recommend doing that for ALL aroma inatalls
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] zalaj:
1.4 using the aroma installer...
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I was using the 1.4 kernel as well. I'm about to flash the latest version with Aroma and 1.3 I'll report back afterwards.

As for the hanging when "Obtaining IP Address" although I'm sure you know the password I've only seen this when using the wrong network key for the wifi, it went along with even the strongest wifi showing as Poor.
[Motorola Photon 4G] zalaj:
it does that as well... it shows excellent signal and the avoided it due to poor connection.

I know the network key is correct.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I'm assuming that was in response to the CWM, Report Error..etc question

Do we need to install anything previous to the Aroma installer to make the ROM work correctly?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Maybe try standard.
[Motorola Photon 4G] zalaj:
is there a way to go to the 1.3 without reinstalling and losing everything again?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbaybucs:
ok let me ask a dumb Q where are the apps ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What do u mean?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Non wipe install. Won't lose your apps or settings
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Is there any way to fix the Theme,Wallpaper and Ringtone things from not giving me "Download failed"?

Is anyone else having a problem downloading wallpapers, themes or ringtones? One of my favorite parts of MIUI and it won't even function correctly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MrWhite1127:
just unlocked and flashed. And I'm having the same problem. Any help?

[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
When I first tried miui on my desire over a year I didng like it either. But I decided to give it another try when this from popped up. I don't like the miui home but if you install another launcher, I use nova, I feels lime any other pics rom with the polish and customization of miui. Pretty sweet being able to mix different themes to get the loom exactly how you like it.

I would suggest you install a different launcher and give it a try.

[Motorola Photon 4G] naturecannon:
As I use this rom more and more I run into the white screen too often making.g it hard to operate on a daily basis.. I know there are inverted apps. Are those in one package somewhere or do you have to search and download individually. Any other roms without the white screens or are all ICS ports like this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Facebook works perfectly fine for me too, on my Electrify.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
Well I couldn't get much help figuring out how to send MMS and I figured out I was trying to fix the problem but it was based off the CNA Rom. So today I flashed my phone over to CNA and followed the directions I was trying to apply to my MIUI Rom and now I can send picture messages. Learned a lot through this though, I can say that. I will try out the CNA rom for a while.
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
Yes its nerve wrecking having to type in searches twice when you forget it does that
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Well it was FC city with me, not sure what I'd done differently.

Not trying to bring Bill's ROM down though, I'm not entirely sure it wasn't my fault. I used to have the luck of the Irish with ROMs, now that's run dry. Oh well.

Say, is there a way to change the ROM's default colours? I mean make it green on black rather than orange on white? I know about the MIUI toolbox but I mean the UI in general.

No other ROM lets you change the status bar icon colours, do they?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kalexy:
Hi all,

I have a BIG problem with MIUI rom,

MIUI rom cannot control tel. banking . Dail pad touch tones MUST be receive by mic....SWITCH ON SPEAKER to control private banking.....

help~~~
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
What FCs? Come on, Dark...give me info...I need more than this to try fixing things....LOL

I will also admit that fixes may be a bit slower. I have given my Photon to my daughter, so I only have it for testing at night after she goes to bed. I am on the S2 Epic, but will continue to dev on this. That being said, I will be reliant more and more for you guys to read my "how to logcat" in the how-tos thread and get me some logs that I work with. I won't be able to recreate everyone's issues any more like I used to.

I know that there are some Green on Black themes. You may need to search the threads on XDA, MIUI.us, or MIUIAndroid, as not all themes have made it into the theme app yet. I know that there is one out there....I had it on my phone myself at one point, but cannot remember the name of it to save my life...LOL

I don;t think any do allow that change...yet. Might be an option added into a rom at some point. You can decompile the SystemUI.apk and edit it manually to do that, but it's tedious, time consuming, and may take a number of tries to get the color just right on the phone (as what looks good on the PC might look like poopie on the phone)
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I can barely keep up with all these builds! Your roms just keep getting better and better so when a new one comes out, I feel like I have to flash it. This is the first time in a while that I've used MIUI for longer than a day or so. One really minor thing I've found is Street View crashes consistently for me but that's nothing compared to the overall stability.

Now, time to flash the new AOKP build! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
finally jumped back to miui...

did a fresh install, wiped everything..

however I can't get mms to work on USCC.

when i got to apns, there is nothing there,

When i add a new one, if i press home and go back its still there but if hit save, it disappears.

I searched google before posting,

I did all the build.prop edits that the bill posted in photon fixes thread....wiped cache and restarted...no joy..

I looked in system/etc and see the apn-config.xml and looked for USCC in there, and its there.

just can't get it to stick under apns

any ideas?

Ive tried starting from scratch several times, to no avail

thanks

byte
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Just curious, but when in the APN's screen, have you tried the "reset to default" option?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
yes forgot to mention, stays blank

thanks

byte
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
i tried just installing the rom with no options. and still no luck, apns are empty and when u add one it disappears(i have followed several theads about this but most point to the same fix i tried above...I installed the latest AOKP from scratch an dont have this issue...

so I guess my next ? is has anyone installed this aftering wiping everything? or is most updating from a previous build?

it doesnt appear that anything was left out...ie apns-config.xml is there, the proper build.prop edits are there... so

im really lost..been missing Miui and hoped to jump back(love the theming capabilities vs others)

peace

[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
just tried the 2 builds from september, none of them have apn info after installing, and trying to add one, it disappears, even after the build.prop fix....

what am I doing wrong.....why can't i get any apns after installing, this is soo wierd

USCC customer here..

I did see in the sept builds (aroma) had a uscc fix in it, although it did nothing for me. still empty apns

Im really looking foward to jumping back to miui, so i hope there is an easy fix

peace

[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
I had the same issue too. I was able to get the data connection working on GSM by restoring defaults under apn settings, creating APN and then rebooting the device. But I really don't remember in what order I did the above steps.

P.S: Motorola Electrify GSM user.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
data works fine, mms does not work. I tried resetting defaults, nothing happens, tried creating a apn and it disappears after saving

[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
Did you try the build prop mod? That's probably the reason. Search for it and you should find it. Worked for me and everyone else.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
yes, several times I have tried the build.prop edits and they are not working..tried using root explorer and a adw push

thanks

[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
No it didn't work for everyone else. I am also on US Cellular and I could never send MMS texts. Asked questions in the thread with not a lot of help, but maybe that's because I came across as a 'don't know nuttin noob'. :eek: I sent multiple members PM's with no reply, only exception being Bill and he helped as much as he could but stated he was a Sprint user and said I would need to track someone down with USCC to get the help I needed. I sent PM's and got nothing for replies.

Then I figured out that all the fixes I found by searching the forums were for other roms and not the MIUI rom. I went and flashed the CNA rom and then the directions I looked for were all there like discussed. I was able to edit the build.prop and had apns and only had to add my username and password and now I can recieve and send MMS.

I feel your pain. I tried everything too with no luck, but if you want to try the CNA rom, it will work for you to send and recieve MMS. I'd be happy to help you out especially while what I did is fresh in my head. These ROM's ROCK!!!!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
miui use to work just fine for uscc and sending mms (back in august)...i jumped off MIUI to AOKP and test some themes i had ported....decided to ride with it for a month, but decided it was time to come to miui only to find out that apn are completely missing...

hope it can be fixed soon

peace

byte
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cyclonesrule91:
can you go back to one of the builds that worked and grab the MMS.apk file and edit into the new ROM replacing the on there now? I was doing that so the texting app would automatically rotate since something changed in newer builds. If that would work and allow us US Cellular guys to send MMS I would consider coming back to MIUI.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
i dont think that is the problem....I think its more related to apn-config.xml and the build.prop

mainly because its the apn or lack thereof that allows us to send mms. since the apn is missing from the mobile networks, it does not know how to send the mms through the uscc network.

I would think if you have an old build from august...and just updating with only wiping cache might do the trick, but I dont have any of the old builds available.

if someone has the builds from early august and would be so kind to upload somewhere, I will give it a try

peace

just found a build from may...gonna give it a whirl....wish me luck

8) Up on top, press "Advanced"

9) Scroll down the list and press "MMS Settings"

10) Scroll down the list and put a check mark on "Fill APN configuration manually"

11) Press "MMSC".

12) Type in "http://mms.sprintpcs.com" - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.

18) Send/receive a few SMS/MMS messages to test.

19) Done.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
thanks for tips,

I'd rather get the native app working properly, but its worth a shot....however

I found a nandroid backup from 8/17/12 and restored back to that (iwas on a working USCC MIUI then)

i installed the latest update without a full wipe. and my apn was still there... I tested sending a mms and it worked :)

so if you find a version pre august, I think it would work even after applying the update.

one thing I noticed that changed was in the USCC apn, the mmc changed from 311 to 560 and the mnc changed from 120 to 628...

I tried to change them back to right settings 311/120, and then my apn disapeared....i was like wtf...i hit restore defaults and the 3 apns came back....the two im suppose to delete and the USCC....with the new mcc and mnc numbers...tested another mms and it worked... so then i thought maybe thats why my apn was disappearing with a fresh install (the new mcc and mnc) so reflashed wiping everything, I tried adding a new apn with the new mcc and mnc settings, but nope the apn still disappears after hitting save. even after trying the various build.prop edits.

so the fix for now for me is, install a pre august version, and update without a full wipe to the latest and greatest....

IM happily sending mms's for now :)

peace

byte
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
after some digging, i found that apns-config.xml is different...USCC settings are botched...i am recharging will try a fresh install with the new apns-config.xml, and report back

peace

byte

NO LUCK......maybe there is more that needs to be done ......but i kow for sure the apns-config.xml and the build.prop files are different in the last build than the builds in august when USCC mms worked...

Ill await bill or another dev to take this further (im gonna keep trying different things though)

[Motorola Photon 4G] Treadstone06:
Few questions after flash

I just got through flashing 2.9.29 and love how it performs and looks so far. However, I have one major issue and several questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with. The major issue I see is that I can't get any of the apps off of my home pages - without that ability it is basically an ios look which I really don't want. I'm sure I'm just missing how to remove them but when I drag up to the trash can, it says "unable to remove system application". I'm not trying to delete, just get off of my home pages.

Secondly, how do I get to the app drawer? For the life of my I can't seem to find it lol. Again, I'm sure I'm missing something.

Third, what are the benefits of flashing the options chooser file and if beneficial can I do it from the ROM or only from cwm?

I believe those are my 3 main questions at the moment and I hope that someone can direct my inexperienced self to the appropriate places. My thanks to anyone who is willing to take the time to give me a hand.

Edit: Fourth, is there an way to get the new S-Voice on the Photon and working properly?
[Motorola Photon 4G] famous84:
actually that's the unique characteristics of MIUI : There are no homescreen nor app drawer....

all you get is continuous side scrolling screens, which means dragging an app icon to trash will uninstall it.

you might want to install another launcher from playstore to have more customizable launcher.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Treadstone06:
Ok, thanks for the reply. I really like all the other characteristics so I'll give Zeam a shot as a launcher on this one and see if that works cause I'm not terribly fond of the have every app right there/apple look but I'm loving the smoothness and everything else from this ROM. Thanks for the advice. Can S-Voice be put on here as my Transformer has it and I'm enjoying it quite a bit when compared to my voice search on the Photon. Has anyone else used Zeam or have another that's better?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok...I'll shed some light on it. MIUI changed how it "views' our ril files. I tried EVERYTHING I could to get it working right with the original setup. It looks that they are wanting things set up for "LTE/CDMA". That is why the APNs are coming up different. TO get service, I had to change the build.prop line ro.telephony.default.network=4 to telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1 just to get data. This unfortunately required the edit of the APNs to the current setup to get them to work on CDMA. You could TRY to change it back to the original setup, but I doubt it's going to do much. I tried every ril that I could find, including ones from the Atrix, and none of them worked. Without source, it's really hard to fix this...
[Motorola Photon 4G] famous84:
honestly i've never used any voice searching app, so i do not know. lol

Holo launcher has ICS look and feel, while Nemus launcher is lightweight, fast and stable just as zeam..

oh and about option chooser, it is a flashable zip, not an apk. so you have to flash it via recovery.

option chooser gives you options to customize your system such as wether internal memory or EMMC that will be used as main storage and such...better try it yourself :D

Hey guys.. It's been a long time a post here on XDA, But I have been reading you guys can't get the native MMS app working...

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The APNs in the rom will work if the CDMA settings are properly put to the right setting under the Mobile Networks setting. I still don't understand why MIUI has changed all the stuff around. Problem is that they obfuscate the code, so it's not simple like AOKP or CNA where I can check CM10 for code in the same spot and fix...with this, they have all the MIUI smalis.
