Found a slight error, trying to flash the Settings.zip file right now. The reboot into recovery when pressing the power button and then selecting Reboot > Recovery does not work correctly, it just reboots the phone.

The Settings.zip "Test" file Bill posted does correct the issue, so if you are having the "More settings" FC, flash the zip.

---Seems while I was flashing someone got all the info out! Ooops! Great work Bill!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
LMAO! I'll fix the reboot options tonight. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
So you mean to tell me that browser rotation issues are fixed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
I haven't seen browser rotation issues in any of the JB ROMs.

I don't know if k want to download or wait for the miui.us upload. Personally miui drains my batter like a mofo
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
JB seems to fix rotation. LoL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm doing well here on batt. 15% down in 3.5 hours. That is consistent with cna, which was best batt life jb ROM for me so far
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
I get great battery life with MIUI, do you have it set to powersave mode or on performance? I personally use powersave and the phone still works perfectly, never have any slow moments or issues with it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
With the switch to MIUIAndroid, is there any way to customize the status bar like the MIUI.us Toolbox did before? I always hated the carrier text in the top left, made it feel so crowded.

Also, is there any version of Google Gallery that has working Picasa sync?

Edit: Also you guys might want to check out DroidViews, by far the best collection of MIUI v4 themes I've found.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I am tempted to try this now... But I like my JB, and does MIUI have stuttering issues?
[Motorola Photon 4G] AaronEmoBoi:
Slightly but not as much as cm10 or stock based jb ROMs

Sent from my MIUI Jelly Mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
I'm tempted to try this out...

Personally, I've yet to really get into MIUI. I tried it briefly on ICS but ended up reverting back to a CM9 based rom.

Might just have to keep my eye on things over here and see how peeps like it! May just have to give it a spin for a little while :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
So this is not really an issue just a bug that had me confused as hell (I blame the ever clear) but when I turn on torch the torch toggle turns into the 2g 3g enabled toggle. I was sitting here staring like what the hell happened too my off switch.
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
I din't notice the subtle change in the thread title which now sports [JB] :D

Torn between sticking to CNA or trying out this latest MiUi build.

Folks on this ROM, howz the battery life?
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
prafultripath I think the battery life is great, I get over a day on a charge as for what I use it for: I steam Pandora/TinyShark over 3G on my ride to and from work (an hour each way), light internet use on most days and depending on the day I may text a bit more than average or talk on the phone for about an hour-hour and a half. Overall I'm very pleased due to the fact I hate being a slave to a wall-plug or car charger when I need to do crap.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
I've tried every rom available for our phones, and for me, MIUI along with juice defender (on a customized scheduled) has by far the best battery

This has been my luck....

any rom with juice defender will have awesome battery life

peace

[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Thanks Th3Bill, I am coming over from your CNA 3.3.0. I have always been a huge fan of MIUI but I kept leaving because of the browser rotation issues. Thanks! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Update is coming.

Fixed:

1) "More" Settings doesn't FC

2) Reboot Options don't just hotboot phone

:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Build B is up

Fixed Reboot Options

Fixed Settings FC

Cheers!​

EDIT>>>>WAIT A FEW MINS...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Ugh, I'm soo tempted! Lol...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I know how you feel...believe me when I say...it's worth the wait :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Update is fixed :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] arturodelac:
I get stuck at the miui logo
[Motorola Photon 4G] AaronEmoBoi:
Idk if anyone else has this bug but

My accounts and sync are constantly syncing without stop like it will sync everything from my Google account then two seconds later its everything again and I did not change the sync time at all so idk what's going on

Sent from my MIUI Jelly Mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Which build? What rom did you come from?

Need to be more specific if you want a helpful response.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I have uploaded a fixed, working version for 2.8.17 C. It's got the More Settings working as well as Reboot Options working :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
Is there way to stop the constant asking of do I want to download or update apps without Wi-Fi in the Google Play Store?

Like honestly when did a 1.66mb Capital One app become a large file lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok...last time I explain this...been said a few times now...lol

Go to Tools folder. Select downloads app. Press menu, then select Settings. Change the setting to either not notify you, or increase the filesize needed for it to flag you :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Bill is there any way of modifying the dual signal bars and carrier logo ourselves? It is driving me insane =x
[Motorola Photon 4G] k2wl:
hey bill,

can u help me with gsm fix for this miui 2.8.17 c rom.

anyway ur and jokersax work is incredible... many thanks for that.

looking forward to fix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I'm sure there is a way but it'll be a lot easier next build when he goes back to MIUI.us' builds because there will be the toolbox again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It may be a lil bit. I want jb working right before I muck with it. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'll put one together this afternoon
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
If you use my Buuf theme, dual signals have been modified to single bars.....its pretty simple to do it through the theme, just take the default.mtz and under miuisystemUI.apk you can swap the images around to your liking.

or just use my buuf theme, however the signal is buufified as well... but single signal showing both data and voice

and for carrier logo,if all u wanted to do was change the text, i believe is a fairly simple frameworkUI.apk edit....ill have to post instructions after work though :)

peace

[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
Is there any way to actually run the HwaSettings.apk and SunfireParts.apk? I keep getting flickers of garbage, particularly when opening folders or anything else that uses transparency effects, and I always found turning off GPU accel fixes that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] k2wl:
hey bill . thanks man.. for ur quick reply. but I have searched forum and I edited build.prop to set default telephony to 0 so now I get gsm on it.

thanks for ur efforts. this rom is awesome .

god bless.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If you have any data issues, try grabbing the GSM fix from the AOKP or CNA build, remove the build.prop from it, and flash that. The libmoto_ril in that might be better for GSM users :) Just in case.

I am in the process of doing my own build of MIUI based on the Chinese version (I'm in the process of deodexing it now).
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Hey Bill, there anyway you can fix the soft key lights? Or if you can't, which of your JB builds has the soft keys working? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm on AOKP right now to spend a little time testing it. It seems the soft key lights work on this build...I'm going to check out what I have done on this one and put that into my other builds.
[Motorola Photon 4G] k2wl:
thanks again I will try what u said. but I don't have any problems for this build as of now so I will let u know. ok

bye take care
[Motorola Photon 4G] psgarcha92:
Hey Bill

I've just come here to say that, this is by far the best MIUI build i have put on my phone. i have generally encountered some stuttering in other JB ROMs, and i understand that they were from all the Driver issues, but this build, as i feel, is actually awesomely smooth. Thanks a lot for putting such a nice build together.

waiting for the Atrix ICS release so that we just grab the drivers and kill everybody else's phones with our properly powered up Tegra 2 MoPhos.

Once again, thanks a lot man.

Regards
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I actually consider CNA the fastest transition (albeit with some issues due to one guy trying to incorporate like 100 features into one rom...LOL)

AOKP is the most stable one in terms of having reboot option fixes, storage fixes, working backlights, etc I'm currently on AOKP, as once I get the bugs out of IT, I can incorporate those into my other roms.

MIUI is just plain cool. I really love the build...and to think this...I'm still trying to figure out where to get my MIUI source from. I'm between MIUIAndroid and MIUI.us or just saying to hell with both and getting it from China and start to try making it multi-language for real :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
I'm trying to get the cna gsm fix to work but running into issues. My battery is almost dead now so I'll try again later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] arturodelac:
Thanks man I figured it out, I was trying to jump from 2.3.5 to jb, I had to flash miui ics first and then this one
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Best way...flash clean...wipe everything. Sucks to add all your stuff in new again, but it's the best way to do it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] psgarcha92:
C'mon, multi-language is going to be a lot more work right? and Its actually good that we have the Gapps built into the MIUI ROM that u posted now. The last one had the search engine they use in China and the services related built in.

And one question, can i use an ICS kernel, for example faux 1.4 CM9 kernel on jokersax for this ROM? or would i have to modify it (actually learn to modify it, looking into all the development stuff myself now)

Awesome work man, keep it up... :)

Regards
[Motorola Photon 4G] arturodelac:
Actually if I wiped it wouldnt boot I had to keep all my stuff
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
What do you wipe exactly? And what are you currently using for a recovery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
I was able to get GSM to work like you said but without wifi it was being a pain to get an app to edit the build.prop. I ended up with some GPS issues and had to move to a different rom so I could get home lol! Thanks for all the support Bill you are awesome!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
GPS is a bit of a WIP on MIUI as of late. It work for some apps, but not for others....
[Motorola Photon 4G] arturodelac:
I am using jokersax v3 recovery and I always wipe data, then flash the rom, but this time it wouldnt boot so I tried booting up without wiping and it worked
[Motorola Photon 4G] HackGerm:
Issues: Google Now; SD Card; Logcat

Awesome to have MIUI JB, thank you Th3Bill.

Does anyone else have these issues?

- Google Search/Now errors: I had searched phone/internet etc without a hitch - then I was trying to setup Google Now. I believe the setup (agreement to use Google Now) is part of Google Search (if I remember right). I agreed and immediately got an error message "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped" with "Report MIUI" or "OK" options. The error message persistently shows up every few seconds. It survived shutting down, full reboots, even taking out the battery. Only this I can do is a force close to make the error message stop.

? What to do?

- SD Card: I came from Th3Bill's MIUI 2.8.10, used his full-wipe..zip to wipe, installed 2.8.17 JB rev. C. Now my internal SDcard is called sdcard0 (sdcard icon), and my external is called sdcard1 (folder icon) (as shown in OI File Manager). In System Setting - Storage "SD Card" is listed as 8.91GB total space, "Internal Storage" is listed as 29.92GB total space (I have a 32 GB card).

? What to do to correct this and make the system see the internal storage as internal and the physical SDCard as SDCard?

- I was trying to provided a log using "aLogcat". The log always come up empty, and I have read other people have trouble getting the app to work in JB.

? What is the best alternative for JB, and exactly what file type is needed to diagnose?

Thanks!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
@ Th3Bill:

Any ETA on the next version? I'm not expecting to be fast I'm just curious as if you decided what you were going to do with which one to use MIUI.us or MIUIAndroid or just go straight to MIUI China.

Another quick question I noticed that the official MIUI.com has a English section where they show their ROM in English.. is this something that could be used? Or is it still heavily Chinese?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I am most likely going to stay with MIUIAndroid. At this time, I have to wait for Joker to update CM10 before I can build. The current libs don't support some of the methods that the new MIUI uses. I have attempted to use the Crespo ones, but since it was compiled with Neon, it caused a LOT of issues, and was ultimately unusable.

Should be relatively soon, though
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
I notice the thread title has changed. It now reflects the port as Jellybean. Is it safe to assume that 2.8.10 is the final MIUI v.4 ICS port?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Yes. It is. Crespo was/is the build I port, and they disc the ICS builds and went with JB from now on....
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Stoooopid Koshun Alert :D : Which of the two below is a more "latest" build?

1. MIUIAndroid 2.8.17 for Photon (JellyBean)

2. MIUIAndroid2.8.17 Build C

Is Build C ICS ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Build C. It's not ICS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nothing past 2.8.10 will be ICS. Crespo build I port from has officially dropped from the ICS builds on MIUI China. It's all on JB now (as all the roms are that I am porting)
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Anyone know how can I turn down the processor speed, I can't seem to find that option in this build?

I don't the phone running at 1.3 eating away the battery, 1.0 should be good enough.

Also, I can't find the settings location for the battery icon. It used be there in the status bar mods in the earlier builds of this ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
The battery settings are under FULL SETTINGS > Battery
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
I'm getting better battery life on this ROM compared to CNA! :D

I just wish I could run quadrant again to see the improvement in number. *Sigh* Hurry up motorola :D

Anyone know how to do the above ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm sure that these type of functions will be added in as the rom matures...this was the first build, so a lot of features from ICS haven't been integrated due to the differing way that frameworks are written on JB. It will come with time.

Quadrant is going to be the same. It's not really the lack of libs, it's that we don't have all the patches integrated into the libs yet to correct them enough to run Quadrant. I can tell you this...all of my ports will most likely take a quantum leap when Joker updates to the latest CM10. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The good news of using MIUIAndroid as my rom port is that they are going to a "language pack" system where we should theoretically be able to have this be multi-language :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
1.4 OC kernel just uploaded to Jokersax.com

CM10 has been built....Joker's doing his final work on it, then it'll be update time for all my builds...lol​
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
So the 1.4 Kernel is stable now?

Th3Bill, one request for the next build can we have the control for processor speed back into the ROM please :)

I'd really not like to run the phone overclocked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Woohoo!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Only if this ROM had the soft key lights working. I would jump back on this ROM in a heartbeat. lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.8.24 is UP on Jokersax.com​
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Man!! Do you get sleep ? :D

Running on 2.8.24 past 3 hours. Super smooth so far, not FC's or any weird things noticed so far.

Quadrant still doesnt run though, gets stuck in the 3D bit. Hope that its fixed sometime :)

Th3bill: Would it be possible to have the CPU processor speed control back?

EDIT: I notice that the stuttering between swiping from screen to screen has increased a bit by this build!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
CPU processor speed is something that will most likely be added in as the rom gets more mature (only second release so far).

Stuttering and Quadrant issues from lack of libs. I'm still playing around with framework edits to try to get it working the best...
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Not sure of this is just my case or with everyone. The stuttering is a lot lot more in this build compared to the previous build!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.8.31 is UP on Jokersax.com​
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
BUMP. I'm having this problem too. Seem like JB doesn't have the SD card/EMMC visibility and separation that ICS did. Should the SD card be reformatted after the full wipe so that it is not partitioned?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
swap mounts in vold.fstab.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Could you shine anymore light onto this one? I googled vold.fstab edits and found on MIUIAndroid a guy talking about mounting his actual internal memory as /mnt/sdcard/internal_sd/ and his removable sdcard as /mnt/sdcard/ and would love that as well. But I only saw a few example edits for other devices is it pretty universal? Looks like the physical address of the mounts as being set to is pretty specific.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, this is something that was changed with JB. To get the old system would require editing of kernel ramdisk, framework-res, as well as vold.fstab just to get the system to possibly recognize it. Then, you might have to edit each app as well...not totally sure
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....get ready to be happy everyone! I have Aroma working on JB now! :)

What does this mean? Well, it means no longer needing to download multiple files if you're GSM. It means not having to take the tweaked prop if you do not want to. It means not having to edit your vold.fstab if you want a different storage as primary sd card. It means if you want the 1.4 kernel instead of the 1.3, you may have it :)

It will be uploaded within about 20 minutes :)​
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Awesome I just finally got the latest update all tweaked. This doesn't seem to be missing much other than the MIUI.us Toolbox. Anything else you know of?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Nice! Knew it would only be a matter of time before you figured it out and got it working! Good job man! Aroma Installer is definitely what's up! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Toolbox is only thing missing. I do know that MIUIAndroid has more support along the lines of getting other languages built into the rom, so with any luck, that will be something I will work on soon :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
All the builds will be put into Aroma from here on out. It only makes sense with the Photon, as I have people who will want CDMA, GSM, Tweaked CDMA, Tweaked GSM, alt storage, different kernel...just simpler to keep it all in one file so that I don't have to maintain more links...LOL

Yeah...it's partially laziness, but who cares, right? LOL!

Actually, I spent 4 hours editing the frameworks of JUST MIUI to get the backlight working much better...also cleaned up some of the transitional stutters (Gallery on MIUI is LIGHT YEARS ahead of other builds). I have GPS working great on Maps as well as Foursquare (accurate to 20 meters inside my house in a densely packed home community....yeah...I consider that pretty kick ass). :)

The good thing about all the work I've put into MIUI today you ask?!? Well, aside from people liking the better operating MIUI, I can take those fixes and tweaks, apply them to my other builds and make THEM better :) YAY ME!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
AROMA BUILD of 2.8.31 is UP on Jokersax.com

CHEERS!!!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
Aroma definitely makes sense for the Builds you do, because like you said, there are so many different options! You'll have that with a world phone I suppose!

That's crazy tho, sounds like MIUI is gonna be the ROM to be on! Its definitely awesome to have someone like you doing ports for us tho because you take that time and figure out all the little kinks going on behind the scenes and straighten them out! Mad props for that! So ya, definitely yay you! Lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I had time, as the wife was exhausted by the time I got home from work (3 year old is VERY active and loves to play with mommy), so she took a shower and fell asleep...LOL. I'm watching Oregon murder Ark State and figured I'd work on it :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
I remember you once said that MIUI.us' version of MIUI was a little more "tweaked" for US users than the MIUIAndroid version. Any examples? Ignore my post if it's a bother to reply I'm just bored and curious so I'm asking the master questions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] creeater:
What's the difference between GSM and Tweaked GSM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Okay so I just downloaded this and flashed it twice. The first time I selected SDCard and primary storage, and the 2nd time I selected EMMC as primary. Nothing changed between the two options. My removable SDCard is still listed as sdcard1 in /storage/ and the EMMC is symlinked to /sdcard/ and /storage/sdcard0. Something we can fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
The tweaks were in the toolbox. They also did some minor theming, but honestly, the builds are very similar overall. The advantage is the language thing...once I figure it all out :)

Tweaked has a few build.prop edits that should smoothen the phone some and help with data connection :)

I'll have to take another look at this one. I may have inadvertantly put in the same file twice. I was falling asleep as I realized that I had gotten Aroma to actually work with JB...lol

EDIT: Yup! THat's exactly what I did. I'm putting the file back together and will have it back up in a few minutes :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Are you renaming this file or just replacing the old one?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I will be replacing the old one...been a busy day at work, so I am just getting to upload...

EDIT: I actually uploaded it and linked it before work, but never posted that on here....LMAO. Fixed version is up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
little bug..if i have a new text the volume wake doesnt seem to work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Is it called something else because I just redownloaded the latest version and flashed both options nothing changed.

Also, the auto brightness doesn't lower its list pegged at full brightness.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I just realized my error. Fixed. I'll have to reup later.

Odd...autobright works for me. Try full wipe?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm not sure this is in feature set. I'll try to add
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
its an option. and it works fine unless i have a new text

edit: well its working now...weird
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Quick question if you got a second Bill. Back in the ICS miui days I tried out your rom and found that they updated the theme engine but there were only a few themes on the website to choose from as the older themes actually within the theming app wouldn't apply. Did they ever fix that where you could choose from the new themes straight from the app?

::EDIT::

I took a look at the site and realized that the v4 Photon Themes Chooser is probably exactly what im referring to. Sorry for not doin my homework. Also, the download link for the new build is broken.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I know it is....updated it...just about to fix the link now

Updated link :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Downloading now. I'll report back with any immediate bugs i might notice.

Also, the v4 Photon Theme Choose.. I just noticed it's upwards of 400mb! Is that all of the current themes rolled into one zip or something? I suppose i just flash the zip?
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Does the new aroma build let you choose the 1.4 kernel?

And is the 1.4 kernel stable now compared to earlier?
