Try wiping data. Our phones hold on to old borks and continue to show them to us if we keep the data present. I've noticed this with MIUIHome. I installed wrong apk for toolbox once....got fc. Installed correct one, got fc. Did my framework edits all over again to ensure that I was doing it right...still fc. Finally, wiped data just on a hunch...DING DING DING....no more fc...

Not sure why Android would set it up like this, but when an app is fc-ing and you replace the apk or a dependency, you need to wipe data :)

tried installed from fresh (using the aroma version), wiped everything, still get networkproviderlocation force closes.

deleted both files and wiped again, still no go

went back to 2.7.6

Ya I did a data wipe and it still comes back . It is not that big of a deal for me and I will probably wait till the next version ! Thanks again for the help !
[Motorola Photon 4G] cesar424:
Removed the files you said to and still got the networklocation error message. I noticed he aroma version doesn't have liblocSDK_2.5OEM.so but the standard does. So i copied that into system/lib and rebooted. error message went away. =)
[Motorola Photon 4G] MailenJokerbell:
Can someone please post liblocSDK_2.5OEM?

Have these two issues been fixed?

HI all, returning to MIUI after a couple months absence, it seems two issues are still at large.

I am on 2.7.20 and see that the ghost voicemail still exists, and also it cannot see my external SD.

I've tried fixes for both from the XDA forums, and they usually lead to a non-responsive phone/FC's. I tried flashing a .zip to fix the the ghost voicemail, and it freaked the phone.apk out.

Are these issues possible to resolve, is there a SOLID fix? Is it a motorola drive type of issue?

My apps (poweramp, quickpic, etc) can see the external SD just fine. But the ROM doesn't seem to acknowledge it at all, and uses the internal SD as the default.

Overall, the functionality works on MIUI, so I'm not limping here, I was just surprised to see they hadn't ironed out yet. :cyclops:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
When u say the ROM doesn't acknowledge it, I don't know what you mean. I was on this as recent as this morning and under storage it showed both. If u mean file explorer, that is a bprk in that specific app. I have alternates in the options chooser that see both storages 24/7.

Visual voicemail ghost icon hasnt been fixed with ANY ICS builds that I have seen. I use Google voice and have no issues with any ghost reminders.
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Ok I'll again sorry for being unclear.

I am coming from stock Photon, rooted. I decided to unlock bootloader this morning and load up Miui. Prior to this, my phone could see internal 8GB sd, and external 8GB sd. I keep everything pertaining to apps/data/cache on my internal, and ONLY keep music on the external.

So, fast foward, booting Miui up, I used titanium to load all apps quickly. I go to Menu>settings>storage, and it lists as follows -

Internal Sotrage - 3 GB - Aps 419 MB - 2.5 GB free

SD Card - 8GB - apps 67mb - pics 7mb - etc

Internal Storage - 8 GB - 4 GB free

It seems to recognize internal memory fine, and internal SD and external SD, but it has internal/external SD's switched around.

THEN, I use a file explorer, and it doesn't see the External SD at all (the one with music only on it). I have used stock Miui file explorer, Yaffs (what I normally use) and I just tried ES explorer to make sure it wasn't just a fluke of the two. I can navigate and see my Android, data, Music (created by Miui) etc.

Normally, using Yaffs, or ES, when you get to "/" you have to different SD options, as follows - sdcard>/mnt/sdcard and then another sdcard/ type of listing, so that I can view both...

I also have google voice set up. From the moment I loaded Miui, I've had the ghost phantom. Before loading Miui, I had zero vmails, according to google voice. Now I have the mysterious 2 vmails notifications again. I think it's a spring thing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Internal is listed as emmc...external is listed as sdcard.
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Exactly, it's swapped. It has installed and is listing my physically removable external SD card as internal emmc. It dumped all the system files on it, and is ignoring the true blue soldered on emmc, and instead listing it as the external, but not letting me access it..

If I use PowerAmp, go into Settings>Folders and Library>Music Folders, it gives the option to browse /mnt/sdcard and also /mnt/emmc. This is great! however, it has them swapped - what is listed as emmc is actually my External SD, which is only supposed to have music on it, but Miui has dumped all the system files (/data, music, pics, etc).

And if I use a file explorer (ES, yaffs, etc), it doesn't even give the option for /mnt/emmc, it just says /mnt/sdcard, which is ACTUALLY the true emmc as an external SD..

I could do some manual maintenance, copying/pasting, but that leaves me with two problems. I can't use my internal SD as the default location, because the phone thinks the external is the emmc. Secondly, I still can't access both locations from a file explorer, just the one External SD (internal emmc). Only PowerAmp seems to know what's going on, oddly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
MIUI's stock file explorer will not see both. That app is designed for only one. I don't know why they did that. I include it, as it has the Mi-Backup (online backup service) built in. If you flash the Options Chooser, you can swap the storages with a mod that's in there as well as install the modded File Explorer that DOES see both. I've never had the issue you're listing with the swapped around storages. On mine, Sdcard is my sdcard and emmc is my internal storage....
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Sounds like this is what I need, thanks for the assistance Bill, you're a solid dev! I'll work with that and see if I can't please my implacable self :laugh:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
LMAO :)

I love to make things easy to fix, to I tend to do after-flashes with mods and tweaks that are useful. :)

Themes Chooser is pretty nice, as the Theme app is still hit or miss (not many actual V4 themes on there). It's a big file, but it's got 24 themes in there that are all pretty nice :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
ok so i need some help I kinda bricked my phone and I can only get miui to boot but my number and msid got wiped is there any way to get in into that rom i can tget any ## codes or *#*# codes to work and cant find any profile update button.. please help!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
Th3Bill thanks for devoting so much time into this ROM. Is there any way you could possibly include PDroid into MIUI?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cpfeifer:
Only way I could see is if you SBF'd back to stock and redid the normal activation in the store and then flashed MIUI back on top of it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I am uploading the rom now. It will be linked sometime tomorrow morning before 10am.

I will look into the PDroid thing later in the week as I get a chance....been really busy with JB work.

Good news for those who didn't like that file explorer couldn't see both storages....well, I can attest to the fact that on this build, it has the ability to see both EMMC and SD Card :)

APN

What are the best apn settings for Miui, on the Sprint Network? Just leave the default? I'm in Central Time zone if that matters.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Updated using MIUI.us.Sunfire_v4_2.7.20_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Sign_TMT.zip and now I get "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped"

Clicking OK locks up the phone. It reboots after a minute or so and then again "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" The only way to get out of this 'loop' is to click "Report to MUI"

Also noticed

1. My wallpaper image does not stay. When I can reboot the phone the wallpaper returns to the default grass blades.

2. The top bar has a persistent icon and when I drag down it reads, "Preparing USB storage - checking for errors."
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
SystemUI underwent serious changes. Need to either wipe data for MIUISystemUI or wipe all data and the error will go away.
[Motorola Photon 4G] couponfork:
Did you ever upload the new files?
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/th3bill/miui-photon/

2.7.27 is up here for photon, same thing
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
2.7.27 is UP

Standard Version Only at this time. Still working on uploading the other files at the moment.​
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
Does standard version recognize both emmc/sdcard? or is it just the options version?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
When you say "recognize"...what do you mean? Every version I have had will view both storages at the system level. Some of the apps had not been able to see the storages, but that was individual apps. I do know that File Explorer is able to see both storages in this build....it's a bit tricky to get it to do it....it's not really self explanatory. When you open and look at the sdcard, you will see a little section above the folders....you need to tap there, and it will bring up the option for /mnt/sdcard or /mnt/emmc :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
That's what I meant by system recognize, my bad. I don't use a lot of the options settings, most of the defaults work fine for me. :good: Thank you
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
:) Good Deal!
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
My fault for not following this religiously, but how do I "wipe data for MIUISystemUI?" I would rather not wipe all data. Phone also Hot reboots without warning during phone calls so it would be great to get these issues resolved.

Thanks.

For the last time,

- if I use the Standard ROM I just need to reboot to recovery and install the ZIP?

- if I use the Aromabase I need to reboot to recovery, wipe all data and then install the ZIP?

- for which one of these (Standard/Aromabase) do I install the Options Chooser?
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
Can someone point me to the aroma/options/themes base?
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
Are you looking for the ZIPs to download to your phone?

http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/th3bill/miui-photon/
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
I used your FULL-WIPE.zip and then installed MIUI.us.Sunfire_v4_2.7.27_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_TMT.zip.

On reboot still getting "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" - I have to click OK or "Report to MUI"

Same problems persists

1. My wallpaper image does not stay. When I reboot the phone the wallpaper returns to the default grass blades.

2. The top bar has a persistent icon and when I drag down it reads, "Preparing USB storage - checking for errors."

Disregard all my past post cuz I've had it - phone just rebooted for the 5th time since I installed 2.7.20 and 2.7.27 and during every phone call since then. Going to go back to 2.7.13. Hopefully that is stable enough to keep my phone on for more than 20 minutes and especially during calls.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
i had just flashed the this ROM and it looks really awesome....i was just wondering though, i'm a GSM user outside the US....but i can't seem to change the option in mobile networks to GSM, only stays in CDMA. can anyone give me a step-by-step solution?i'm new to MIUI coz i have been a CM user on my LG phone....^_^
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Unsure of what to tell you other than get me a logcat. I have been on this build and have flashed it 5 times with no issues in last 2 days.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Sure thing :)

Download Root Explorer or Root Browser from Play Store (Browser is free :) )

Navigate to /system folder and find build.prop.

Long press on it and select to open in text editor

Find the line that says ro.telephony.default_network=7

Change the 7 to a 0

Save the File

Reboot

Upon reboot, go into Dialer

Punch in *#*#4636#*#* (Though I wouldn't recommend punching the phone...LOL)

Select Phone Information

You should see a field as you scroll down that will possibly say CDMA auto. If it does, tap on it and choose GSM auto (prl).

Reboot the Phone

You should be good :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I am going to be re-doing the way that I do the rom again. I will be doing away with the standard flash. Since I have a lot of gsm users, and I don't like to have to use a TON of bandwidth and storage, I will be doing only the Aromabase. I will be removing the Gapps from it, as it makes it huge, and MIUI.us doesn't like gigantic file sizes. I am adding in GPS Essentials as an option, as some feel GPS doesn't work. What I CAN tell you is this...it's an ongoing issue because apparently in China, Google is no longer the preferred provider....Baidu is. That being said, MIUI China (which this rom is built from) is going with Baidu. It does slow down the initial lock of the GPS, but does NOT affect its overall function. GPS Essentials will allow you to see how many satellites you're connected to and whether you have a lock. It took me about 2 minutes to achieve an initial lock, so please be patient with it :)

Options Chooser will not be changing.

Cheers!
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
How exactly did you flash it? If we have the same phone and I am using the same file(s) then it must be the way I am using them.

I noticed your files are named the same except one reads, "_Sign_TMT.zip" and the other reads, "SIgned_TMT.zip" I have both on my SD including the Full wipe zip.

I remember at least once using one or the other Signed/Sign and the second time using one or the other, most likely because the file names looked similar. I rebooted into recovery, installed FULL-WIPE.zip from SD, installed MIUI.us.Sunfire_v4_2.7.20_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Sign_(or Signed) TMT.zip and then rebooted. The phone started to reboot during phone calls and I got all the errors I already mentioned so I went through the process again and probably used Signed instead of Sign. Dunno.

What did I do wrong?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try downloading the latest uploaded Aromabase version from Jokersax.com. I just flashed that one this morning again to ensure that it works. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Options Chooser and Aromabase are UP on Jokersax.com​
[Motorola Photon 4G] darkerhelmet:
You must have a super top secret method for flashing or the method is too lengthy to explain. Anyways I 'downgraded' and put MIUI v4 2.7.13 Aromabase Photon.zip on my SD and used the exact same steps I used for .20 and .27. I think the file being clearly labeled helped too.

No dropped calls.

Wallpaper persists after reboot.

Not one "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" message.

No "Preparing USB storage - checking for errors." status bar message.

Girlfriend is happy I'm not dropping her calls. I'm happy the phone appears stable. Not the latest and greatest but so far everything I've tried works. I'm a bit gun shy now so I'll stick with this version for a while.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
thank you for this but still it did nothing...can't still get a reception...and when i check the settings using the *#*#4636#*#*, the set preffered network goes back to CDMA auto (PRL).:(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Oh....wait....after editing build.prop and saving, reboot to recovery and clear cache. then reboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
ok....will try it again....hold on a sec....

hope you'll be online for a while coz i juz flashed my phone back to 198_7....ahahahahaha....have to unlock and root it again....lol....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If you did that, then before you flash, go to Jokersax.com and download the Aromabase version of 2.7.27. That one has an option for GSM in it, so you won't need to edit anything :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
after flasing 198_7, i'm having boot loop...sigh...any advice?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
That I'm not sure...I'd ask Lokifish Marz. He's really an expert at sbf. I've luckily never had to :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
fixed the bootloopt...done unlocking and rooting it....still downloading the Aroma version though...but i wanna try what you said before i use aroma....so what was that again....change the value of 7 to 0 then reboot recovery then wipe cache then reboot then *#*#4636#*#* then GSM auto (PRL) right?or correct me if i'm wrong..xD
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
wipe cache between the change of CDMA to GSM as well...just to be 100% sure. If that doesn't work, go with Aroma. I know that one works :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
still nothing....when i'll flash aroma from my current ROM...do i need to wipe data,system and cache or not?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I would wipe all, as any other rom can leave stuff behind, and MIUI is quite a bit different from the other ICS variants
[Motorola Photon 4G] sibin.mohan:
Tried the new rom but the data issue is still persistent in this rom like the cm9. the apns disappear after a few hours of install.

i installed it yesterday night and the apns had disappeared in the morning ..i am using the phone on a gsm network in india.

any fixes fo rthis issue ???
[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
There's definitely a lot of GSM users.

If I'm on the Sprint network in the USA, that means I'm a CDMA and I just keep the defaults.......right? I don't really know the difference. Also, does the bandwidth monitor options work? It changes and shows bandwidth when I'm surfing the net/market, but I was streaming Spotify (music) and it said 0/0kbs?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Honestly, I have never had this happen. I am on a CDMA only network, so I can't reproduce the issue. Without a logcat of the moment it happens, I have no way of really knowing what is causing that...

Try using tweaked prop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
thanks man....i'm using the .13 version though as the .27 version keeps on doing FCs when someone calls and it drops it....i couldn't answer any calls on the .27 but on the .13 version everything is ok so far....anyways, could you do something about the camera quality?the stock ROM had great camera quality compared to the MIUI one....and also i hope .27 version and other upcoming version won't FC on phone calls....but overall, awesome ROM i have to say!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ryan8r:
Flash "Forceroaming.zip" from CM9 fixes, solves the exact same issue for me. Been using it since I started using ICS builds.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Interesting...I ran that build most of last week with no such issues. I would need a logcat to fix it.

As far as Camera, the hardware button isn't recognized by MIUI's app (Nexus doesn't have one), so it's a bit borky with that. 've noticed that if you put it on "Action" setting, it works pretty great, though.

If you're looking for it to work more like stock, use the on-screen button.

Oops sorry ...

:p

Sent from Motorola Photon 4G via Reliance
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
this is a silly question but what is a logcat and how can i send one to you?xD
[Motorola Photon 4G] praful:
Logcat is an app that keeps a log of all the apps/services running on your phone. In case some app I behaving abnormally or giving FCs the logcat can be used to debug the issue with app.

The app is available on the market or as a part of the options chooser package. And when providing a logcat instead of giving the complete log it would be better if you filter out the part that is relevant the specific app that you have issues with.

Hope this helps :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Nah....was being more sarcastic than upset...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Truthfully, I find it more helpful if the person provides the whole logcat, BUT with the following:

1) Close all apps before beginning to logcat

2) Open chosen logcat app (I like alogcat myself)

3) Do whatever fails or fcs

4) Go back into logcat app and pause the output and send it to dev.

Reason I don't have people filter is because not every time something doesn't work is there an error thrown. Many times, the process will show up as properly loading (because the libs and framework DO load, but the hardware doesn't but no error shows). Not filtering will let me see what else is going on.

Biggest thing...don't have 100 apps running when you logcat...do that, and you can guarantee I'll have a hell of a time trying to make heads or tails with it...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] ITSAHERO:

[Motorola Photon 4G] processorsaurus:
I have launcher pro, and adw pro. Using fast defaults on adw is ridiculously snappy. I actually found miui home launcher to be a bit laggy, so I was surprised with the adw. Install the flux theme with it, looks good.
