There are alternate instructions located within the OP that have worked fro numerous others expriencing this same issue...

Chris41g's kernel is included in build 2.7.20, but for some reason volume up + power isn't taking me into recovery either so I'm guessing not. Once you do get booted though the Power menu can get you to recovery.

The build is dependent on another build so this is definitely what needs to be done, whether there are FC's or not. The instructions specifically inidicate this...

This can be done on your phon itself, it should read through file explorer or Es File explorer, /data/system/theme

Note: there is no "s" on the word theme.

To ellaborate in order to give File explorer root access, you need to open the app, hit the menu button, go into settings, look for home directory, then set that to /
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vvette:
Maybe wait until these are all fixed so a clean install will boot and all other minor bugs fixed? Better to wait I guess..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asianizeboy:
I can confirm that it worked for me and this is my first time trying miui.

Anyone has apk or got swype to work on this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I'm curious as to why the clean wipe then flash is not enough? Regardless, I will try your method exactly and see what the results are.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
No 2.7.27 and other answers

I have been able to do it that way before, and I have also had it reject me and had to use the second method. I am not sure why. Which leads me to:

I am quite disappointed in MIUI 100th release. This week does introduce 720p to devices that need it, so that is a huge plus but not for us :( (well until Oct 1 for me anyways :) ) thus in turn the tweaks to this weeks build are minimal at best. I'm skipping this week and am gonna take a look at why the included kernel won't boot into recovery for me. It's the same one that I have flashed from mobile odin in the past and had recovery. I figure if it was a bad download it would have not worked period but I will try over again. I'm gonna try and get that link in updater-script that calls busybox to create the folder /data/system/theme to work. And, I have noticed that wifi and 3g are not running as good as when I try mijz ics rom and that really bothers me so gonna look to see what is the deal with that (although my past use of miui always show that for some reason cdma and miui will never get along) but maybe something script wise can help a little. Thats my goal so as I get time I will work on these, it may make it into a flashable zip or maybe 2.8.3 build.

ps forgot to mention the other big thing: gonna see why install is so much a hassle, hopefully get it solved.

pps miui on facebook has some cool crap they are giving away for the 100th release.

cknuth: the icon set im using is placid hd and got that from the android theme thread. and mixed with sgs theme ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Custodian:
Can one of you folks post a stable link to the last GB build?

Thabks.

Peace love and chicken grease.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asianizeboy:
anyone got swype working on Miui? Please help with a working apk or whatever method.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] matt8107t:
I have been using it just go to the website and get the beta.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Sadly I am no longer on MIUI. I tried booting into Recovery through the Power Menu just to flash a different kernel, but my phone turned off and it wouldn't boot again. I could get into Odin Mode, but the phone refused to both boot up normally or get into Recovery. It would stay at the original "Samsung Galaxy S" boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Yeah, that is more or less exactly what I experienced. After flashing the latest rom (totally clean install from EL26 CWM) I got a bunch of FC but between those FC I was able to long press the power button to bring up the REBOOT/POWER OFF/RECOVERY menu. Like I described earlier, exactly like you experienced I wasn't taken to Recovery instead I just got kicked to the Galaxy S splash screen (if that's what you call it.)

Keep in mind I didn't try the alternate method of flashing an older version of MIUI however, if there is a problem accessing recovery IDT those steps will make too big a difference.

Cap: Hope you don't take the sharing of my experience as criticism. Believe me, I'm very grateful for your efforts...w/o them we would all be using a build that is like 2 months old and have ZERO support.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffm922:
Go to the swype website and download the swype beta, it downloads it to the phone and installs, worked for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Flashing 2.6.15 first fixes the problem but I'm not sure why my recovery started acting up. I've been on MIUI for days...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asianizeboy:
I'm having some issues with MMS. Is this a problem that already exists? Any way to fix?

Actually got them by trying to click it a bunch of times later to download. Is there a way just to have it send faster without having to click download?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Using root explorer do a search for the file: telephony.DB

There will be two of them. Delete them both and also clear data on whatever messaging app you're using. BTW that file should be in data/data/......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vvette:
Second request here too....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dgr581:
Found it in the Miui GB thread...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Weird how that works....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilderckw:
Thanks. For the help. But the link is not working saying Page not found.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] marquisdee1018:
Same thing happened to me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] matt8107t:
Any way to use sprint vvm on this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vvette:
Thanks, think I'm going back to Miui GB..until this gets cleaned up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ibCurlyFry:
Problems im having..

twice ive tried the install method of the flashing through 2.6.15 and all that, and both times i am unable to connect to 3G and im having various sms/mms problems..

anyone experiencing anything similar? fixes?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I flashed with the alternate instructions (coming from CM9) and everything works perfectly!

However, I have one quick question. Is it possible to add a 4G and Wireless Tether toggle to the pull down menu? Or am I completely SOL here? I don't see either of those as options in the config menus :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ibCurlyFry:
What are these alternate instructions exactly? :)

Edit: oh and i was looking into something in the area of adding a permanent notification to toggle 4G via Tasker if that gives you any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28871697&postcount=99

These instructions are linked in the OP. However, for the final flash, just substitute the newest build for the one mentioned. MIUI has come A LONG WAY since I last used it (over a year ago maybe?). It is very beautiful... Now with all this jellybean action on the Android Central forums I'm torn. lol

Edit: How would tasker provide a quick toggle? I didn't even know it had that functionality.... Guess i'll have to buy another app lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ibCurlyFry:
I thought there was another method involving CM9 but nvm lol

Anywho Tasker has the ability to create a permanant notification that when clicked would in theory toggle 4g on/off, it may require a separate plugin but ill look into it today and if i can figure it out ill post it here

a tasker method that i want to try: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/531920-guide-4g-toggle-tasker.html which involves secure settings plugin ($2)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffm922:
Lol!!! It's like magic!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ibCurlyFry:
Okay i fixed the 3g issues i was having

i was flashing through 2.6.8 instead of 2.6.15

EDIT: okay still having 3G issues.

it was working for about an hour but then it stopped.

Data is on and it shows the 3g logo at the top but i cant connect to internet.

when i try to select the type of network it shows CDMA automatic

is there a APN that i need to put it or something?

EDIT2: Airplane mode on/off fixed data connection for a brief moment then it wont connect again. A repeated toggling of airplane mode didnt restore connection again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
When I tried the very first version of MIUI v4 this was my major issue...3g would frequently just die on me. Sucks to hear that it still happens. I used to think it was modem related but I think its more than that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kpakpo89:
Finally got a smooth install! Loving this coming from cm9 tablet mod...this is minor, but I can't seem to find a phone apk or fix for that annoying permanent voicemail icon....any ideas?! Thanks

Also sprint vvm....a no go for me but I'll reinstall and try again

Sent from my SPH-D710 rollin' on MIUI
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
I had this happen the other day. Needed 3G and it kept dying out on me. I have been tweaking everything I can think of with 3G. This is quite frustrating and it is a repeatable issue. I hop over onto mijjas latest build and my 3G is strong I get anywhere from 800k-1.5mbps at my house; I get closer to the tower and get upto and sometimes over 2.0mbps not so with MIUI, I'm lucky for it to get up to 300k same modem FF18 and same prl (whatever the most recent sprint one is). I have tried editing stuff in /proc/sys/net/... core and ipv4 but even editing those files and saving them the phone overwrites them. Bummer cuz id hope that would help. editing init.d files and build.prop with all sort of net configurations has done nothing except for this in build.prop "net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960" will actually make the wifi go crawling. Add that line to build.prop run speedtest and I (only my tests) get wifi no faster than 2.0mbps remark or remove that line, reboot and I get my normal 15-20mpbs. I can repeat that ad nauseam :( anything pertaining to 3G and there is supposedly all sorts of voodoo out there for it does nothing. I have spent the last two days trying. So this leaves me to the conclusion once again, MIUI is built around a GSM OS, so for us we say a chant over it and beat it with a voodoo rattle and get it running on CDMA so there are going to be issues unfortunately. Same thing with the APN I have heard some reports of peoples APN setting being completely blank and mine are all there set by Sprint. This just stinks. Another repeatable issue I've some across is sending mms. I can send a picture with MIUI and it can take so long that it times out and then it can send after several minutes. I hop back to mijjas rom (goodness, in case you were wondering) and it will send in just moments anywhere from 15-30 seconds. My last thing I going to attempt is going for the more dangerous prl files such as the verizon 00001.prl and then the sprint corporate 12124.prl and see what I get. That I know is not a solution for many but I just want to know for myself. Problem is once you are on miui for so long you cant go to anything else :o

The ghost icon is weird some get that and others dont, and sprint vvm wont work on this miui. a real drag i know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
It's clearly a very difficult task to try to port over a ROM that was meant to run in a different country with different data technology and then expect all the bells and whistles to run as smoothly as it does on stock TW. I guess it shouldn't be surprising to us MIUI fans that there will always be little (or big) problems that come along with this rom since it was never meant for us to begin with.

I hope that one of the major phone companies makes MIUI their official UI one of these days so we have a perfectly working phone with MIUI.

IDK if you heard of the boy wonder BUBBY (those of you who got this phone early on probably do) but maybe if you can find a way to contact him he could overlook some of your work. I don't know the first thing about creating or porting a rom but it may be a few small things that are missing or need tweeked that may drastically improve the overall stability of this rom.

Keep up the good work Captain!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
hey just thought id chime in, bubby wasnt the first to get miui to this phone, it was dubois and I. We kept it current for a while, then we started having problems with data, so we stopped for a while. Then Ics was released, we ported over for a few weeks, then I got busy with life so Jafterdark took over, and then he got a different phone so captain took over :p, anyways I lost my self there, ive been looking at captains port since he started and he has been doing a great job and the data problem is a kill, Might i suggest u use the base's we used when we were porting this rom, NS4G, Skyrocket, and sgs2, either will work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I apologize for the misinformation TCP. Thanks for refreshing my memory on that. I know Bubby released a single build of GB MIUI on that other ROM site but never did a follow up afterwards. You were the day to day maintainer.

Yeah, like I said, sorry for the bad info. I guess I'm just desperate to see some stable MIUI v4. Hopefully we'll have a breakthrough soon in terms of overall stability.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ibCurlyFry:
Thank you so much cap'n!

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one with the problem.

I guess its back to GB for now. Can't go without miui but I need that data connection. :(

Thanks again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
Thanks for the info on that. I will take a look at that again later on. And, thanks again for the start of miui, ive been using it since it first popped up on the evo and that was some rough days then. these annoyances are small compared to have far this rom has come! on another related note, i tried out the launcher that they make but they havent updated that in ages. logged into their forum but had to use google translate to lodge my suggestions for that launcher. im sure they all laughed at that translation like we do when it the other way around :laugh:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2momo123:
I would like to report two minor glitches that I don't think have been reported yet. Be 1. Custom boot animations installed through the theme app don't seem to stick. and 2. When attempting to do a Web search with the included browser, you are taken to the search engines home Web Page upon hitting enter, in stead of it actually doing the search..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jocelyn:
Menu > Settings > Advanced > Set search engine, for the second problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MasterZen88:
Thank you for this. I had recently ported MIUI from Skyrocket and everything work expect for audio. Any idea to get it to work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilderckw:
Well I finally got this to boot and its running perfect but I'm having the 3g problem all I have is 1x with signal anyone have any more ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmfeny:
I havent used this rom in a while and that was one of the reasons why. But last i used it it had the "3g and 1x icon at the same damn time" but even tho it said you were on 1x you really was on 3g. But if it was to switch to 1x you wouldnt know. But captain also said his 3g speeds werent good with this rom anyways.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Venomusdragon:
The 3g signal bar doesn't work... even with a full 3g connection...

sent from my SGS2 running AOKP, eh...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilderckw:
Thanks the speed were good just was saying 1x
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2momo123:
Thanks, but I already did that, didn't seem to do the trick. I have my search engine set as google right now, but regardless of what search engine I set, when I type a search into the upper bar it just takes me to the respective search engine's homepage. eg. I type "XDA Epic Touch" into the search engine, and it just takes me to google.com - I then have to re-type it, and enter it in google's search box to actually do the search.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] matt8107t:
I just started using Firefox or chrome to solve the problem don't think there is a way to fix it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jocelyn:
I just reset my stock browsers cache/data, followed my original instructions, and I'm back to the upper bar working for Google search.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] countryteazer:
Thanks keeping MIUI going Captain! Pain in the ass to get it booting but once it does its pretty damn impressive. Aside from the phantom VM I haven't had a single issue. AND battery life has been great too. For those experiencing the phantom VM issue download his phone.apk, push to system/app clear dalvik cache and reboot. It works.

http://db.tt/AqtDOb88
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
DO NOT USE THE MASS CONTACT DELETE! What a pain in the ass. I had/have again around 1000 contacts. Got rid of several hundred and google thought it wist to get rid of all but 17 of them! Luckily I have always a backup but to let you know they need to get this working much better before its usable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2momo123:
Hmmm, thats odd... I like Matt, still can't get it going. I have tried the following:

1. Clear Dada and Cache

2. Open Broswer

3. Settings -> Advanced -> Set Search Engine -> Google

and then I try it, and still the same as before.... Odd.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ibCurlyFry:
The glitch that he is speaking of is not selecting which search engine, it is that when you use the home search app (QuickSearchBox.apk) to search the internet, after you have entered your desired search, it sends you to the homepage of whatever search engine you have selected instead of actually searching the text you have entered.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Venomusdragon:
after coming from aokp i received the com.android.phone has stopped error, so i odined back to factory stock and started the whole process from scratch just to make sure and still ended with same result :crying:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
Well this has me stumped. I flashed from clean install. Went to EL26 kernel with CWM and flashed Calks format all, then the ROM. Everything booted fine. Also, restored my backup of 2.7.6 and upgraded to 2.7.13 again with no problems. Plus in all actuality I have flashed this numerous times today to work out any kinks. I can't reproduce this issue. There is also a direct boot to EL29 with CWM you could try that but EL26 almost always is the way to go. Not sure what is causing these problems coming up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
I can confirm that I do not have that error and that everything works great. I installed it over a previous build and stuck with the stock kernel without wiping anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] somesayinice:
Fix permissions doesn't work either. Still getting error.

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 AM ----------

Did you use el26? Does it have to do with coming from a different rom then?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
I used the EL29 direct boot kernel flashed using mobile odin. Didn't wipe anything, not even cache. Flashed this new version right over the previous build (which I think was 2.6.8).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] somesayinice:
Got it working but don't quite know how. Flashed EL26. Then wiped data and cache WITHOUT Format_All. Then I used the Format_All tool to flash. Then I installed 2.7.6. Didn't boot. So went back, Flashed EL26. Cleared with Format_All and then flashed 2.7.13 and it worked. Again. The steps above sound like reading tea leaves by a blue moon just half full. In other words, don't know what I did right. Hopefully someone can read the intestines. Going to sleep. Peace for now. Beautiful rom by the way. Much props.

-----

Can't make phone calls. phone apk crashes. alas
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guirae:
had the same problem everybody was having when booting up. wouldn't work because of the android processes....i flashed 2.6.8 then flashed the newest. booted up and money. worked out.

big problem i've encountered. when i try to update contacts this shows up:

Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.

no contacts is no good.

aside from that, ROM is real cool and smooth! hope these fixes can work out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Hang tight...CaptainMorgan will figure this out in time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] islanda73:
Would my baseband have anything to do with android.phone force closing? My basebands el26 BTW
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dandog96:
Source

Sorry if it says somewhere here, but I tried to find it and couldn't. Is the roms kernel built on the FF18 source that we just got?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Venomusdragon:
i'm downloading 2.6.8 right now going to confirm if this is a fix for the issue and also if it produces the same com.google.process.gapps error, will update when i'm there *fingers crossed*

update!!!

ok, so i tried this and got the same phone process error still

odin back to stock

flashed el26 with cwm

flashed format_all

flashed 2.6.8 did not boot system

wiped cache and davlik

flashed 2.7.13

booted and got phone process error still, so i'm flashing back to stock again atm, gonna play around with some other stuff and see what happens :(

update 2!!!

ok so in another attempt i just mobile odin the el29 cwm direct boot and installed from that, also a no go
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cknuth:
So miui is running fine but the kobridge tweaks only result in being stuck at boot. I know it is a long boot after flashing them but I left it for 20 minutes and it was still stuck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
Can someone post their steps in flashing the latest build successfully? Ive tried every way I can think of and I still get that process error.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Venomusdragon:
GOT IT!!!

ok so here's what i did guys, thanks to beserker15 for his post... wouldn't have figured it out without

k... odin back to stock

flash el26 + cwm

boot recovery, manually formated and wiped everything

installed 2.6.8 rebooted system

mobile odin the el29 cwm direct boot .tar

flashed 2.7.13 with no wipe whatsoever

reboot system and good to go!

hope this works for others than just myself, thanks again beserker15
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
That's a lot of drama for your mama! I know Captain already said 4G isn't working in the OP but since he doesn't have 4g anyway...can you guys confirm that 4G isn't working?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Venomusdragon:
I as well have no 4g in my area I'm sorry

SGS II

Being an asshole is a gift... use it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
Too bad this is such an issue for some to install :( or not even get it running. that's discouraging all around. I have, however, gone through each entire line of build.prop and saw that it was in dire need of cleaning up. which I have done. the build prop really doesn't need to be changed at all in each of the tweaks so Im going to fix that as well. next, wicked sensation rom has fairly good battery life and I know that dazed stopped with the support of kobridge tweaks and he added in the team_venom ones. so i pillaged those in my own test rom at the moment. I'm going to run that for the next several days and see if there is a noticeable difference. If there is, I'm gonna beg to include those in the next build of MIUI and skip the need for flashing different tweaks. plus with the eventual release of source built kernel now, different governors and schedulers will soon be available and negate the need for the ondemand tweak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CaptainMorgan:
When i go into the MORE setting under wifi and turn on 4g it doesn't fc or error on me, it just continually searched for a tower. I can only assume that it potentially working, but earlier reports say it doesnt at all. however, certain kernels (CM9 i think) only support wimax as well though. believe me i wish i had wimax here, waste of 10 additional damn dollars a month!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DroidBabe:
Does anyone have 4G in their area where they can test it out? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericvbp21:
I am in a 4g area and i can confirm that 4g does work on the new build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] matt8107t:
Yeah clearing the data and cache made no difference when I tried it
