I just finished installing MiuiAndroid with a full wipe. I booted first without installing gapps or anything and created the Xiaomi account then installed gapps. So far so good haven't had a permissions manager fc yet. I'm going to download all my apps from the market go to sleep and let you know if any issues arise in the morning.

Btw I'm using GSM so I can't say if CDMA is working properly but on straight talk I'm connected to HSPA:10 so its working along with wifi and GPS(got me within 9 meters).

edit: Themes force closes every time I attempt to set a ringtone or notification sound

I installed this with a full wipe. Actually tried it twice. I was coming from the latest version of AOKP.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
OK!! What a pain in the BUTT MIUI has become. It has a new daemon that must be init at boot for things like MIUIHome and Themes to work right. That's the source of the FC. I have it all fixed now. Had to hack kernel for that one

As for the Security FC, that was an improper translation done by both MIUI. I have fixed that as well.

So, were there any other borks aside from the ones I just mentioned? LOL

MIUIAndroid will be up in a few minutes. MIUI.us will be up in about 20 mins. Maybe less...I dunno...LOL

CHEERS!​
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
MIUIAndroid is UP. US will be up in about 1 min

MIUI.us will have some borks with the Toolbox. Doesn't look fully working with new MIUI, but themes and permissions are working properly. ​
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
No those were the only two if you need me to test anything else on gsm let me know
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
Idk what jinshan security guard is on miuiandriud but it won't stop fc on a full wipe
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Hmm....very odd. I'll have to take another look at that one. I tested it extensively last night. Have you turned on root access? WIthout that, jinshan guard will fc pretty badly. Jinshan guard is the permissions app. If you don't turn on root access, it can't do what it should be doing...

Can you let me know what you're doing so that I can try to recreate the issue tonight? I spent 4 hours on MIUIAndroid last night and didn't seem to have any issues...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Fun fact: There is a kid out there, somewhere, who has a pretty cool smartphone, and she can say that her father wrote the software that runs it. That's technically false, but it's true enough to be awesome. Good job man. That is very cool. I mean, most people don't know one Android ROM from another. Most people, I think, would recognize an iPhone, but everything else would get a "What's that?". Most people would ask what "Paranoid Android" is, and she could factually say "It's a modification of Android that my father made for my phone". And that, is simply, awesome.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Wanna hear something else that is kick ass? At 12, she wants me to show her how to work on Android. I've promised her that as long as her grades stay where they are (All A's), I'll definitely start to show her. So, you may see Th3Bethany show up on here at some point (yup...she has a PC that can build it, too).

I agree though....I told her "You know, you're the first person to have Paranoid Android of any version on a Photon every time. She thinks her phone is ultra cool...her friends are stupified by the tablet ui that it can do :D

Bigger things are coming for me too. Can't talk about now, but in time, I'll be able to dish on it. This Android stuff has been a whirlwind of fun for me. It's an inexpensive hobby (which is important when you're a father of 3 girls and both you and your wife were previously married), and it's got some seriously cool perks. I've been able to meet and work with some really cool people on here. :D

I want to thank all the people who use my work and who provide feed back and support. Without all of you, it'd be MUCH harder to debug all the builds I do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
I have root access enabled it seems to only do it when I try to update and app or start one. I figured it was the antivirus database that may be causing it so I went to antivirus to try to updated the database but everytime I attempt to on queue Jinshan force closes. I'm going to get you a log cat since I'm watching the Saints and Falcons(and being the diehard intoxicated Saints hater that I am I'm very distracted)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I think I finally know what it is....

I resigned that app. I am going to test this and see if it fixes it.

BINGO!!

Flash THIS zip and wipe data on the Jinshan Provider in the settings, app, then reboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
Nope lol it fc as soon as I opened it CAN ANYBODY ELSE TELL US IF THIS IS HAPPENING ON YOUR PHONE TO MAKE SURE ITS NOT ISOLATED TO ME ONLY

Edit froze it in TB
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Try wiping data in cwm. I am using my phone with it...have updated the database 3 times just to be sure. Gonna have to full wipe on that one, my friend. I had to wipe data (first time didn't work). I had hoped that just wiping the data on the app in the settings.

I have reuploaded the roms with the proper apk
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Much respect, man, much respect. I've always said that when I have a kid, if they show interest in computers and an aptitude for not screwing them up, I would build my kid a computer. And it would be a lot more fun if the kid's a girl. I think your average boy would be fine with a case as they come, I think they tend to appeal to males, since we make up the most vocal geek population (that's starting to change, though). I think a girl would want me to mod the case first. And I'd do it, too. I painted a Guitar Hero guitar pink [picture (Facebook link)] and silver for my niece, and gave it to her with Lego Rockband (although, she prefers to sing). Everyone loves that guitar. Of course, not all girls are prone to feminine styles, it would be whatever she (or he) wanted.

I showed an interest in game design when I was about 12. Designed a whole run/jump platform game, gameplay influenced by Mario and style influenced by Aliens. It would have been pretty cool as a Super NES title. My father then showed me a book on C, and I put forth a decent attempt to read and understand it, but it was beyond me, and that was as far as that went. But I believe if I stuck with it, he would have helped me make the game. Then of course I'd have to do the artwork as well (pixel art for sprites and the background stuff, not terribly hard, not like games today).

Anyway, I just have ideas for the time being... you're actually doing it. That's awesome. Keep it up, man.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
MIUIAndroid 2.11.30 is UP!

Jinshan, Home, Permissions...all work properly :D​
[Motorola Photon 4G] rthibeault:
Think I'm gonna give this one a whirl...one question though. How does one turn on root access?

Thanks Bill for all your hard work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] rthibeault:
Never mind...figured it out. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
Living the ROM bit I cannot set default home screen. Can someone help me out?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
In case anyone noticed on MIUI.US, the ringtone and sms tone selection in Settings FCs. THIS will fix the incorrect link error that causes the issue. It's a corrected Settings.apk :D

I will be re-uploading the rom in a little bit, but for now, this will fix the error on existing installs :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] rthibeault:
This ROM has been working great for me. Battery life has been decent, and no force closes...(knocks on wood).

2.12.7 is UP for both versions. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Demonlinx:
Sorry if this is answered somewhere previously in this thread but can you tell us any differences between Miui.us and miuiandroid that would be visible to a non-developer level based user?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
MIUIAndroid is more vanilla MIUI experience

MIUI.us has the MIUIToolbox (think of it like RomControl in AOKP) as well as some hacks to keep us from needing to use a Xaomi account for themes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BAleR:
Hmm... did a full wipe, flashed miui.us booted, selected automatic mobile networks, rebooted flashed options chooser 4 when it was done and sayed reboot now, hit next. then got the red triangle in clockwork and said error.

Edit:

Sorry if this is a repost, rebooted manually and all is well. Very nice
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
I'm in the process of moving all of my work to my new site:

www.th3bill.com

It's still largely a work in progress, but once I get it done, it should be pretty nice. I will also be hosting my files at a different location, as Sourceforge wasn't allowing me to host all my material on their site...something about my rate of project work was too fast...as if it was wrong of me to have 20 roms across 3 devices!?!

In any case, check it out...let me know what you think. :D

Cheers
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
OP Updated

PLEASE NOTE!! THIS THREAD IS NOW FOR MIUI.US ONLY.

MIUIANDROID WILL BE LOCATED HERE.

THIS WILL MINIMIZE CONFUSION WHEN BUGS ARE BEING REPORTED.

CHEERS!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
Has this issue been addressed? If not, is it safe to merge app files that are on both the sdcard0 and sdcard1 and have them located on one or the other partitions? It's a shame that the abundant device memory can't be used with this ROM. Anyway, thanks for all the work you've done.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, I can't speak for this rom. At this time, I must inform all of you that MIUI.us is pretty much DOA. The main devs that do the orig translations and make the Toolbox have moved on to a new project (started by the same guy- |0xD34D| that created the Toolbox). It will feature a system much like CM and AOSP, but with the ability to use MIUI themes. I will be building that once it's code is released, and it will be source built (as compared to our current porting).

So, 2.12.7 will be the last MIUI.us build. For MIUI, you will need to migrate to MIUIAndroid. Keep in mind that it does not have the Toolbox.
[Motorola Photon 4G] G69D:
OT: Merry Christmas everyone!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Well, I guess I spoke too soon. 2.12.28 dropped today. Toolbox is back. :D

It's uploaded and ready for use :D

CHEERS!

Google voice fc

I'm having a problem with Google Voice force closing, I get to complete the setup but the app force closes when i reach the inbox. Same deal with Google Now.

I'm on 2.12.28, has anyone else experienced this issue?:confused:

[Motorola Photon 4G] AaronEmoBoi:
Its an issue with MIUI all around

The epic 4G touch miui has the same problem and I think some others do too

It has something to do with the contacts and how they are found in miui compared to stock android

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

I'm talking about the voice fc
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
Yeah it was this issue that made me switch back to stock CM10 after 6 months of MIUI. However if you still want to stick with MIUI, you can try using this gapps package INSTEAD (ie, if youve already installed gapps youre gonna need to wipe and start over), as it does not include the GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk that I believe was causing all the headaches. The downside of course being you don't get google contacts.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

I have zero background in coding, so what are the benefits of source built vs porting? And will it be based on 4.1.2, or wait until you get a stable 4.2?

Also this project sounds amazing, as, lets be honest, themes are probably the only reason the majority of people choose MIUI over stock (although I really do love having to confirm every sort of non wifi download!).
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
I'm still on 2.12.7 and am having the same fc issue. I don't think it's ROM related. I think it has something to do with the most recent GV app. update. The notifications are wonky.
[Motorola Photon 4G] aznprelude:
Yea ... same here ... I started getting the fc when I had did an update on Google voice search ... when I uninstalled the update ... no more fc :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
I'm running the latest ( [ROM][JB] MIUI.us 2.12.28). I'm having problems with WiFi and bluetooth not coming on. Anyone else?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok! HERE WE GO!

V5 MIUI port is ready for download!

I have tested it mostly. I need people to test everything...let me know what is good, bad, or ugly. So far, on my test bed, it looks to be pretty damn stable. Camera, Wifi BT, service, APNs (which means MMS should work) all functional.

It's built into AROMA, so it's got install options. New MIUI stuff for your optional install including the handbook that goes over how to use certain things in the rom. That took hours to translate. Some of it is rough translation, as I do not know Chinese, and I had to take what the translation sites were saying and interpret what it must have meant because the grammar sucked...LOL

Let me know what you all think :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Ok....I forgot some info as well....

CAN NOT flash this directly over V4 MIUI. It does not have the Toolbox, and most likely never will, as it looks like |0xD34D|, the dev who made the toolbox, is on his own project, which I plan to bring a build of to the Photon in the upcoming days to weeks.

It's an extensive overhaul of the MIUI build, and I think that it's really a great ROM. It is running very well :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Nice, all as expected is working.

If I can find a way to unclutter the status bar I would use this more. Don't know why they won't put some of the toolbox options into settings.

Again great job on building this ROM.

Back to my favorite...PA..cough,cough update....:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Carlosmadiam:
I chose EMMC during installation but the SD CARD was set as primary, any way to fix this? Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
When did you download?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
I downloaded last night about 11 and installed full wipe everything custom choosing tweaked Sprint CDMA, emmc as primary, and installed the extras. I rebooted to find SDCard to be primary. So I reinstalled full wipe with choosing SDCard as primary but after reboot the settings were the same, SDCard still showing as primary storage. I had to restore my CyanMobile back up but I will try to mess around with it more tonight after I get off work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
Are you sure it's actually not using the internal storage? I chose internal as primary, and once the rom boots it's using what it calls "sdcard" as primary, but the labels have also been swapped, so the storage it's using as primary and referring to as sdcard is actually internal storage.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
Use this...it will set internal and apps will see it as internal storage.

Don't forget to set permission the same as existing.

just moved to V5...loving it...great work bill.

2 questions....where are the downloaded themes (downloaded through theme manager) where are they being saved...

its not the standard Miui/themes folder.....its weird cause im using a downloaded theme, but can't locate the resources for it...

the second question, only one app of mine isn't working (modern war) crashes during boot.....im installing alogcat as I type this and will get you a logcat...but was jut curious if anyone else experienced any problems with any game.

peace

byte..

btw...BuuF theme is being upgraded to v5 and hopefully I will try to introduce a BuuF MiSpace for the new launcher.....no eta yet
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Miui changed how themes are handled. All must now be uploaded to xaomi's site and approved so they can be downloaded from the miui market.

Let me know about the logcat some apps are incompatible with v5 as like with v4, they have chosen to use different methods than traditional cm or aosp does. That being said, I may or may not be able to fix it, but I'll certainly try.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pgriffinsc:
I'm running 3.4.12,and the LBE app FCs when I try to access the Root Permissions section
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:

[Motorola Photon 4G] pgriffinsc:

[Motorola Photon 4G] scope006:
Cool rom and great work. Tried this version out a yesterday for a bit. I did notice that some of the "framing" seemed off on the upper left in some of the apps unless that's just an odd aesthetic choice by the miui team. Also has anyone been able to successfully setup and run Google Voice without force closes? I notice off and on complaints about this to the miui team upstream as well at times.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pgriffinsc:
the framework images being "off",is the way v5 is.had to comb through a bunch of images on Google to be sure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bytethegroove:
here is alogcat for the modern war force close on boot.

thanks for looking into it.

peace

ps...btw miui change the naming used on most of the icons....so I think I'm going to start fresh on the Buuf theme. kinda makes me mad that they change the naming every version. guess its time I start learning how to really build themes instead of hacking them up.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] pgriffinsc:
Bill,3.4.12 refuses to let me use Nova as my default launcher. I moved it to the system partition,and went through the security apps to see if something is blocking it. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
same with me,3.4.12 refuses to let me use Next and Go launcher as my default launcher.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pgriffinsc:
I'm glad this didn't have any adverse effects. Just go into the system partition,and change the miui home from apk to abk. Just make sure you have another launcher installed first,so u don't get your feelings hurt.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
I had the same issue with Voice, so I thought maybe it was a permission issue, since I know some apps will crash if you block them from certain permission (such as Facebook with GPS), so I went into /system/app/ and deleted every security related miui app, and flashed the standard superuser app. To my surprise, the App Control and Permissions apps were still there, leading me to believe they've been built in to the miui framework apk, so maybe having 2 of the same apps for each of these is what's causing the force closes with the permission app.

(and no, none of this fixed Voice force closing)
[Motorola Photon 4G] scope006:
Thanks much for posting your findings man. :)

btw.....in there are any 90's ska kids out there, you will def enjoy the clock (which will be resized hopefully tonight)

EDIT: finally....its about to be released...made a new clock that's AWESOME......will add weather when I figure it out....

lockscreen weather works using 9_s weather(free on the market)...I promise a upload tomorrow am....I have to figure out who to credit before I can release...

also I edited the genie widget(BuuFified) to be used with the new clock until I can incorporate weather into the clock widget, this will be available in the zip tomorrow.

also check my theme thread out for future additions and the link to the new BuuF theme(posting tomorrow AM),,,,,link to my theme thread is in my sig!!!

preview of clock and genie widget added (last pic) btw I plan on changing the date font/style..its a WIP!!!!!!

What about switching back to Sprint after the test - until I make the move permanent. will I have to revert the phone back to full stock, etc, to get it back on Sprint?
