Guys! I got the Facebook App working! Do as follows:

1) Uninstall FB app if u installed it already!

2) Use any root explorer like Solid explorer and navigate to etc/hosts file

3) Copy it to your SD card and open it with a text editor.

4) Search for '#Facebook START... Till #Facebook END'. Delete everything in between including these two lines. It is towards the end of the file so scroll a bit until you find it. Its right above Flickr!

5) Save it and overwrite this file from SD card to etc/hosts. Make sure you have root permissions allowed!

6) Reboot. Install FB App. Login! Enjoy!

Queries welcome...

Dont forget to click thanks!

Regards
[HTC Desire S] nenad_l:
nagorimayank, tnx, this worked flawlessly for 3.3.29...and tnx for the solid explorer, haven't tried him till now, and it seams great!
[HTC Desire S] nagorimayank:
No problem nenad!! I'm on 3.4.5 by miuiandroid.com!

1) Keyboard FCs - Flash the attached file in the recovery to get stock AOSP keyboard right after flashing MIUI ROM. Then Reboot and setup and flash GAPPS as usual.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
I'm wondering how and why an miuiandroid ROM is continuously released with such bugs ... even if it is unofficial? that's a miss!
[HTC Desire S] nenad_l:
here's mirror for the official miui.com 3,4,5

haven't tried it, gonna report tomorrow ...

Can someone try this fix....

Fix permission and tell me if fb is fixed ?
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Tried on miuiandroid version, kept getting process android.process.acore has stopped.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Crap sorry man...

To fix just replace ContactProvider.apk...

Let me check :)
[HTC Desire S] nagorimayank:
THIS works for now! It's tested!
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Yeap, that fixed it. Facebook working as well.

Flash zip and replaced ContactProvider.apk(removed acore.process.acore issue)

Finally got candy crush to connect :p
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
How does the AOSP camera work? Is the camera from 4.2 or 4.1 JB?
[HTC Desire S] No-New-Phone:
This was easy going and worked perfectly. For Google+ just follow the same procedure, but of course don't delete all Google services. The Google+ hosts were listed all at the end of the Google hosts, like the last 4 rows or so.

Thanks!

Sorry if this sounds a stupid question, but replace with what?

Gesendet von meinem Desire S mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
With the original apk from the Rom itself, because this apk is not meant to be replaced.
[HTC Desire S] No-New-Phone:
OK, I see, this refers to the Facebook fix zip file from vampire. You still have to use the other method (manually edit host file) to bring Google+ to work then.

Wow! If you succeed in getting the headset work, this will be my favourite ROM for sure!

By the way, Xiaomi doesn't provide JB roms for Desire S and unfortunately they will abandon the DS soon. MIUI V5 will be JB only and they declared that they will quit the development of non-JB roms like those that belongs to Desire S.

Only hope to see MIUI JB on our DS is on you now dude! ;) Make us happy!

What about the battery life? Someone used the rom for more than a few hours?
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Battery seems pretty good so far but really you wont know till around the third full charge when it stabilizes.

@ OP loving this rom mate, I've never been keen on MIUI home screen so im using nova launcher with it and its smooth as silk, definitely holding on the the headphones fix. Thanks again.

Nice work, but....

Unable to switch to the other keyboard which have trace, the keyboard doesnt appear and pop ups 'unfortunately, android keyboard has stopped'. Switching it back to the other aosp and a restart stops the fc but i keep getting a pop up saying android keyboard has stop working. Even a dalvin and cache wipe doesnt help
[HTC Desire S] BigPickle80:
Found 2 FC bugs:

Hey. First THX for this port!

Bugs on my phone:

- non working button-backlight (always off)

- no sound in whole rom , fixed by sliding the volume-bars off and in again

- cant get connection in whatsapp...after restoring the backuped threads WA hangs or gives me a connection-refuse. Tried to clear data of WA and caches of Rom :(

Can confirm these bug(s). The only workaround i got for watsapp was i restore using miui backup which i had when i was using miui us.

Backlight are on and watsapp connected.

Just wanna confirm that is it a miui thing, am unable to use the search button on apps, used to be able to open contacts/watsapp and then click the search button to search my contacts, now it just opens Google search. Fiddling around but can't find the settings, am I missing something?

Download looks fine ... try again.

Thank you for your feedback ... I'll look into it.

Meanwhile, If that function is so urgent for you, you could give ButtonRemapper a try. It's an app you could use to map one of your hardware keys to whatever function you like.
[HTC Desire S] VinceAshbySmith:
Just to let people know, I just did a wipe of cache and dalvik cache and installed R2 and SuperSU on top of the original release and everything appears to be fine! Only problems i've encountered so far is with the camera it quits when you try to take a panorama shot. Also the auto brightness levels seem to be a bit problematic, sometimes there fine and other times the screen goes really dark.

Thanks very much Ahmedsalahais for bringing JellyBean to our little old Desire S :D

P.S. Are you planning on porting on every Miui weekly update?
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
How on r2 can I remove the no service being displayed on the status bar, i used the control panel on r1 but dont seem to have that here
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Camera Issue is base problem. Note takin', thank you for the feedback. I'll look into the auto brightness too.

And yep .. I'll try to keep up2date with MIUI weekly update ... as much as i can. :)

Yes, R1 had "Control Panel Suite" which R2 lacks for the time being. I'm considering providing that add-on ASAP. Just gimme some time ... removing it was stability over features strategy.

EDIT

well, everything looks smooth on the first run. Just one thing where I'm looking for support by now: adb doesn't recognize the phone, and I have no clue why. It certainly did on my previous miuiandroid v. 4.0.4, it is connected with usb debugging enabled. Any Idea?
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Thank you for adopting the Rom ... I can't confirm the issue as I'm testing other stuff on my phone ... can anybody else confirm it?
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
It looks like the Headset problem is back. Mine doesn't work but the buttons.

Now it seems that the base source has serious troubles (this was the base for 2.11.23.r1) .. Gotta departure it forever !!

Release 2 is going to be ready once I fix this using the stable base that used in 2.11.23.r2 ... it could take up to 2 days ...
[HTC Desire S] No-New-Phone:
And I have had a problem starting navigation. The app starts, but as soon as you choose a destination, it closes. Funnily, I got it running once by starting maps first, then choosing a destination, then "navigate there". (I don't know wheather it really worked, I was inside and so no gps signal. But it pretty much looked like.) But no way starting navigation directly, even after a second fresh install (wiped everything including MIUI-folder on SD-card and reinstalled miui and SU).

by now i am back to miuiandroid.com's 2.11.30-version.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Thanks for the feedback, let's see what would it be in R2 .. Stay tuned!
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Sorry, I will ask a question about miui here, because I am desperate and here are guys like you who are interested in miui. And I don't think miuiandroid.com or miui.us are not alive enough for discussing such things. I saw that our ds is officially supported and I wanted to give a try to install official release just for curiosity. I tried to flash miuiandroid.com 2.11.30-version but it does not boot.

Then I followed this tutorial: http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/tutorial-for-installing-miui-v4-desire-s.17470/

I installed official ICS using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1858508

But I didn't succeed to boot. Why miuiandroid version needs stock 4.0 for desire s and specific hboot version, I did not understand but anyway I followed the steps but no luck. Can you tell me how did you flash miuiandroid.com's 2.11.30 successfully? I will be glad if you help about this issue.

EDIT:

My HBOOT version is 7.00.1002 now

RADIO: 3831.17.310

I am S-OFF

@ahmedsalahais

And can you enlighten me, how can we flash your version without any prerequisites? How this is possible?

And how can you base flinny's cm10 build for miui? What is the relationship between cm10 and miui?

Thanks for your answers in advance.
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
CM10 and MIUI are both Android 4.1.2, so the base firmware is the same in both cases
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Using 2.11.30 r1. So far so good. Thanks again ahmedsalahais, for your effort and bringing newest jb miui to desire s!

I flashed over previous build with wipe cache + dalvik. Now there are 2 galleries, 2 clocks, 2 calendars.

May be releasing without gapps and providing gapps separately may result in a cleaner install, it's my opinion of course.

In power menu, "Reboot to recovery" option is gone. How can we retrieve it back?
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Hmm .. The official ICS should boot without a hitch ... unless you made something wrong.

Make sure to:

check the Rom.zip MD5, as you might have had faulty download.

Full wipe before install.

P.S.

I don't understand what is Stock 4.0 .. Can you clarify this?

When porting a Rom, two other Roms are needed:

(1) A base, this should be a stable, fast, and reliable Rom. This Rom contains all the information to boot the device and also contain all the drivers to run the phone flawlessly. Usually we use CM or AOSP for this, as they are almost Stock android. Thought some porters may choose other bases instead.

(2) The Rom to be ported, we use this to get the apps, features, look and feel, and usability in our port.

Porting is about using the base (so the phone runs) with the stuff from the desired Rom.

I think this clarify the second question. For the first one, the prerequisites depends solely on the base Rom. And it's up to the developer of the base Rom to define its prerequisites of it. Thanks to Andromadus team, Flinny builds doesn't have these. So it's their magic not mine.

Yes that's true. The former is base, the latter is Rom to be ported, and both should have almost very close Android version if not identical so the port can run.
[HTC Desire S] rokilmr:
The panel issue is there right? Because i cant boot the rom...and i have hitachi panel...:confused:
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Thank you for your detailed explanations. I learned exactly what I want about porting.

I think I could not express myself about the problem about flashing official miui. I installed official ICS because the tutorial (http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/tutorial-for-installing-miui-v4-desire-s.17470/) said it so.

Official ICS booted and worked. No problem here. But I could not understand flashing MIUI after official ICS part. Should I do like this:

1. Flash official ICS

2. Flash MIUI 2.11.30 official

I think I wiped after step 1 and flash MIUI. Is this the problem? Should I flash MIUI over official ICS without any wipe? Does MIUI not work by itself?

Anyway, I have posted a question in Q & A about the situation and will not occupy this thread about off-topic issues. Thanks for your help. If you want to help further, please answer in the other thread.

I meant official ICS for Desire S by Stock 4.0
[HTC Desire S] Jedioscuro:
Why have you flashed the miui ROM over ICS? I have flashed many miui ROMs simply wiping (full wipe, and in some cases formatting all the partitions) and then installing only the miui. It already has ICS inside. Probably your problem is with the hboot. Try formatting all the partitions from recovery and flash the ROM.
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
At first I tried to flash the official Miui like always, full wipe and flashing zip. But it didn't boot (black screen). That was the problem. Then I followed the steps in the miuiandroid.com. The guide says that I need official ICS for saga installed, then flash official Miui rom. For this reason, I upgraded HBOOT, installed official ICS then flashed official miui. And this method also did not work, stuck at the miui logo this time. Then I flashed Tweaked kernel X. And nothing is changed. Did not boot. I formatted every partition except SD card after upgrading HBOOT.

I am talking about official miui. The rom here (miui zero jellybean) works perfectly fine. I am using it right now. But failed installing official one.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Still I think the official MIUI should work without problem. Anyway, I'm glad you got MIUIzero working ... I hope you like it.
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
Yes, I like it very much. Using it since the first release. And waiting for the r2.

I also think the official should work but I could not succeed it. It is very annoying for me. An official rom which I can not install for the first time. For the last time I want you to confirm the installation steps of the official miui. Is the official ics necessary? And should I flash miui over it without wiping or usual full wipe after any rom and flashing the official miui (252 mb) is enough? How do you install it?

Sent from my head
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
For me, I don't need any extra steps other than full wipe then install. And what do you mean by "The official ICS" ? No need for any other Rom, MIUI is self contained full Rom.

Only if you are S-ON then you need to flash boot.img after flashing the Rom ..

That's as far as i know
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
I mention official ICS because of the guide on the miuiandroid site. But you say it is not neceasary and miui is a full rom. I understand now and this is what I expected. I am S-OFF and no need to flash boot.img but I even tried it :)

Sorry for bothering and invading your thread :(

@ ahmedsalahais

Hey man, a person nicknamed Karaqumus from russian Android forum 4PDA has translated the 2.11.30r1 build to Russian language. Maybe you can implement it into the current/next build?

Here's the DL link for the translated version: http://ge.tt/4fmQDVE/v/43
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Is that jellybeans? I don't read Russian .. anyway, MIUIzero will undergo major update soon that will allow me to support many other languages and other good stuff .. currently, for the lack of experience, I think it won't be that easy for me to integrate languages into it.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
MIUIzero 2.11.30.R2 is ready .. I'm just having internet difficulties .. net disconnects for no reason GRRRRR!

Preliminary change-log:

- More to tell ...
[HTC Desire S] Juppehup:
With handsfree you mean headset...? Would be great!
[HTC Desire S] pellatarte:
Just a silly question but what is the interest of using the JB version instead of the official Miui version (ICS)?
[HTC Desire S] signfinder:
Good fast rom, but without russian translation - non usabled.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Yes I meant that !
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
It's the question of JB vs ICS .. you could look here.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Sorry for disappointing you .. maybe in next releases it'd support multi-lang.
[HTC Desire S] pellatarte:
Thanks for your answer :)
[HTC Desire S] Jedioscuro:
Ok so, which version is your hboot now? The official miui only boots with 2.00.002 so if you were 0.98.000 and S-OFF that was why MIUI wasn't boot. As you told, you have installed official ICS, that upgrades hboot to 14.something. I am not sure if official miui support this version of hboot so my advice is that you install either 2.00.002 or the reengineered version 7.00.1002 and see if it works. But keep in mind that if your current version of hboot is 14 you have to downgrade before install them.

Also notice that the first time you boot the miui it takes several minutes to bring you to the home screen. It took me 10 minutes on miui logo before seeing any result, but finally it worked!
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
havent upload 2.11.30.R2 yet?
[HTC Desire S] zihinsiz:
First my HBOOT version has been updated to 2.00.2002 when I installed official ICS, but after that I updated it again.

Now my HBOOT version is 7.00.1002. After many trials, I have successfully flashed and booted official miui 2.11.30 from miuiandroid.com. Only difference was that I formatted all partitions except sd card 3 times and then full wipe! It seems silly, but I read it somewhere and tried, finally it worked. Big relief for me.

[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
After spending 2days with this rom I had no such big issue every things worked without fc so good work. I personally had 3 issue.

1. Big one touch key back light.

(brightness is auto or manual after you lock it and unlock the phone you have to use brightness toggle to back light work)

2.poor wifi performance(can't sure it is a bug

(in cm10 or sense rom in drawing room wifi strength is excellent but in this strength is switch between poor and good)

3 battery life is not good at all.

(with cm10 I get 22 to 24 hour and sense I get 30 to 32 hour but with this rom 14 to 16 hour that's poor also had some wake lock but I didn't report it coz I'm just waiting for CM 10.1 :) for that time I'm gonna use it)

Except 1st issue 2 issues are my personal experience

still a noob ;)
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:

CM10.1 is already out
[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
I'm waiting for CM to merge it. As flinny already said cm hasn't merged it yet

still a noob ;)
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Even though CM10.1 (JB 4.2) is released, nothing can be done as MIUI only use android 4.1 for its JellyBean builds. So we have to wait until MIUI adopt JB 4.2. This would be named MIUI V5 as far as I know.
