I've been in the process of trying to port MIUIv5 (HTC Sensation JB4.2.2):

http://files.miuiandroid.com/3.12.6/miuiandroid_multi_pyramid_3.12.6_jb-4.2.zip

Using SilverL's Unofficial CM10.1.2 as a base:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2164461

And the tutorial guide here:

http://en.miui.com/thread-5643-1-1.html

I've succeeded to the point where the ROM will boot, however it gets stuck on the boot screen. From reading the tutorial this is where 'Stage 2' of the tutorial continues making mods to the framework.jar, in which I currently do not have a full understanding.

What I've noticed in running the MIUIv5 port from Notorious is that although 'android' is open source, I see google, adding more and more 'Google Play' integrated service dependencies (Which I'm liking the updates but cannot successfully run them in MIUIv4 or 5), Continuing to run MIUIv5 (Notorious) I'm finding I'm only able to successfully run older Google Apps, such as Older Maps, gmail, translate, and older apps not created by Google (which have now been updated to rely upon 'Google Play' services), such as, Pandora, Timely, HBO Go, etc..

Although since MIUIv4 Xiaomi seemed to remove a lot of the Google services, I find it may be making it less compatible with the flourishing 'New' apps that are being created that are using the 'Google Services'. :( (???)

Here's a link to the nonfunctioning WIP ROM I've been trying to port along with a logcat during boot:

Hi mattlowry,

Not sure what's going on with my PMs but I'm not sure if they're sending or not. They're not showing up in my sent items. Anyways thought I'd post it here as well (in case you didn't get my PM).

Here the lib files are from CM and from MIUIv5 used in the port:

There's no doubt about it....Apple has a beautiful OS! One of the reason's MIUI is so popular with us DroidHeads. BUT...the beauty of being able to pick your OS is an option that just cannot be compared to. Granted, there are always a glitch here & there but that's the process. It's exactly what we would run into with, Oh, say.....WINDOWS!! And this doesn't cost you a cent! Other than requiring you start to understand the entire process that REAL developers go thru & those of us that are trying our dangdest to learn enough to be a LITTLE helpful along the way.

It's ALL a process....a process in which you are involved in instead of a victim of. KWIM? :laugh: ;)

I'm taking a look Bro.....

Edit: Man, I have to admit that running down issues in a logcat of a running ROM is alot more complex than trying to decipher one in a non-booting port. I can see where it's getting the error and where it's rolling you back to your lockscreen but I'm afraid it's beyond MY capabilities figuring out just what's causing it or how to get around it. Sorry guys.....all I could do is try.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Vauvenal7:
Pitty, well anyway, got no reboots since then, maybe its settled now, but we'll see

Important thing now for me is: will there be another update to get calls work?

A phone kinda looses its purpose when unable to make a call xD

If no time or no plan where the mistake is i guess i gotta go back to jellykang till its solved :/

If anyone has a plan and enough skills i'll gladly stick around ;)

Hmmm... you can't make calls on my way home from work getting home early. So that means time to play give me a sec to get fixes.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Can you not make a call because it looses it's network ID...i.e., are the bars @ the top showing connectivity grayed out or are they showing as connected and just not making a call connection?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Vauvenal7:
I get a FC report: com.andoid.phone has stopped

Then it goes into lockscreen after around 2-3sec waiting, and then i got to insired the PIN

Also i get the notification that the SIM card couldnt be detected (after the PIN) and that i have to reboot, but when i ignore that and just click it away the SIM card is detected and works fine again

Reboot doesnt fix that all

Greets Vauvenal7

Sent from my HTC myTouch_4G_slide
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Yeah, that "sim card not detected" notification I get on several ROMs. When you get a error message and then it rights itself just ignore it. If it's not broke it doesn't really need fixing....DOES IT? What I'd like to know is does your phone work. I know I only ran this ROM for about an hour because of time limitations but I sure didn't run into this one. Although I AM formatted to sd-ext4 & have been for over a year now and have noticed that I don't have alot of problems that other people seem to.

The original question from me was........."Can you not make a call because it looses it's network ID...i.e., are the bars @ the top showing connectivity grayed out or are they showing as connected and just not making a call connection?" The actual answer to this would be helpful.

Now if your phone isn't working that's one thing but unless I misunderstand, it seems that you saying you're concerned with an error message that you can just ignore & it goes away? Maybe I'm confused.....but it wouldn't be the first time. LOL
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Vauvenal7:
Okay to clear things up: i dont really care about the error message, cus it works afterwards as normal

What doesnt work is just making calls

If i call somebodey i get that error, lockscreen, etc

But the bars are white, they show i got connection, i can send and receive sms...only calling doesnt work

And what do you mean by: "phone is broken"?

Calling worked on jellykand, silverl's CM10.1, sun_dreams sense 4 ROM, and the base of this ROM: the CM9 ROM, and all other ROMs i had till now, but this is my first and only MIUI ROM and here calling aborts

The bars get greyed when i press call, i sort of get into aeroplane mode, lockscreen, etc

I just reflashed my nandroid, reset my security to PIN like yours and called my wife's phone without issue. What's happening with yours? I just don't know but I can't reproduce the issue on mine. I AM formatted to sd-ext4 though so if you aren't that's a difference between the two phones. But unless someone else is having the same issue as you are it seems to be unique to your phone. If that's the case, it's really a shame because this is one SWEET ROM.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Vauvenal7:
Well, you helped by telling me the error is somehow on my phone

Will then reflash it by whiping everything

Btw: how do i format to sd-ext4, what is this even, and does it affect my sd card?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
It's under advanced in CWM. It WILL reformat your sd card and wipe it clean. You'll need to copy everything to your computer so you can move it back afterwards. It's kinda like a swap file in windows & acts as extended memory......hence the "ext" designation. It will ask a couple of questions in the process & depending on the size of your sd card, you'll adjust those numbers accordingly. I have a 32gb & use 2048gb for the upper & 0 for the lower number with 128mb for the swap designation.

If i have to format the sd card for swap i got mine formated, did it on my first day^^

That's cool Josh. I DO hope you ordered yourself an Anker though. For the $2 extra it's quite a step-up from the stock one.

---------- Post added at 07:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

I just happened to think that several people have told me that SilverL's TWRP recovery allows you to do it too only with a much more user friendly interface. Just a thought. And I don't remember it having any compatibility issues with CWM since it's just info it's backing up. You might want to ask a separate question outside of this thread though since it's been quite a while for me. I DO know though that once reformatted through CWM it will back up that partition separately & restore it separately.

Distinguishing between the two formats.....the regular format you do is to make sure all is well for reads & writes to the card in general. sd-ext4 is a specialized type of format that creates a hidden partition that the system uses for a swap file for extra memory & info overflow. At least that's the way I understand it. Wouldn't hurt to Google it though to see how far off I am.:silly:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
partitioning a SD card is like partitioning your HDD on computer, all your doing is creating start and end points for the memory and choosing what file system the memory will use

so for these phones your standard sd should be fat32 for best readability, then you have the option to make other partitions, most commonly would be an ext partition (another file system like fat or ntfs) its not hidden its just that windows cant read ext. now many choose ext3 or 4, personally i use ext4 but the amount of journaling to the partition can cause premature ware, but not much of an issue

also people do linux swap a lot, this creates a partition that is used as virtual ram to be added to your phone.

technically you can do more than just this if you use something like gparted to make the partitions, but really anything you do to your sd will be dependent on rom and phone if it wil help, hurt, or even work.

personally i use one ext4 partition at 1GB and i always have a swap or 128, the rest is fat32. when i install a new rom (depending on device) i check and see what is working out of the box, what i can enable and if its worth it. every rom is different and just by having these partitions does not mean they will be used

....i write too much
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
No you don't! That was a great explaination that is much appreciated. I didn't know but a few of the basics besides how to create one. I too use the ext4 partition and things have worked much smoother for me....at least it SEEMS so.

That's exactly what I like to see demkantor! Someone that KNOWS the technicallities & isn't too busy to share with those of us that don't. It's how we learn....so Thank You.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Vauvenal7:
Thanks

Well, then is my sd card formated since the 1t day i rooted my htc desire z xD

Swap is not enabled though, will do this some time soon xD

Okay, reflashed it with full whipe (also dalvik) and booom i just ended a call with a friend :D

Well, guess i'll stick around in this specific thread for a while now ;)

Thanks for the great ROM :D

Man, that's GREAT! I'm sure glad to hear things have gotten straightened back out. Sometimes a flash just doesn't go as expected and who knows why?

As far as the symbols go, quite possibly a developer may have some input on how to do it if possible without alot of hassle. What you have to keep in mind though is that this is a port and generally speaking, unless someone REALLY takes one under their wing, new features beyond the scope of the original ROM or the Base just don't normally get added. Not to say that someone won't help you out. Just beyond my scope. I just try to get broken things working & even that is hit or miss sometimes.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
AMEN Brother. Without having the device the ROM came from it's hard to say what issues it really has. That's why we supply a link to the original ROM....which very few people ever read. Many never even read the OP. Then if you pair that with the fact that it was ported into an ever changing Work In Progress, it's makes for constant surprises. Not always good ones.

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

That's just it Butch. Was it the ROM, the Port or was it the theme that made the status bar Themeable?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Vauvenal7:
Lol guys :D

I found the error

Soooooo simple: it was becuase i chose the iPhone theme as primary system theme, then the calling was unable and i got that error

But choosing the default theme as base and just exchange the MIX section one by one i got the calls working again, i dont know why but it works now oO

And i chose a iPhone theme developed here, its somewhere in the apps and theme section...dont know where exactly though :S , sorry

No problems at ALL Bro. Sometimes things that go awry just need a little sweet talking to get them to cooperate. I believe it was a post from SilverL where I heard it but as he said so profoundly......"to experience android is to be immersed in a moment of insanity". Maybe not word for word but it really hit home when I read it.

LOL...I ran across that one too and it kinda freaked ME out. But when I went to another theme My MIUIv4 seemed to love me again. My screen even blacked out when I would get a call! All is well now though as far as I can tell.

You can go to the market & get a copy of Seeder which I ALWAYS use. I've heard a few people put it down on technical merits but Strapped365 told me about it and it seems to speed things up & smooth them out tremendously! I used the one available here on XDA for a couple of days but liked it so well that I just went ahead & paid the 99 cents it was going for on the Market.

I ALSO noticed that when I installed Kernel Tuner and set it up this ROM was NOT running but one processor.....Like several do. Once I got BOTH running & readjusted the clock speeds down a bit it cooled off a lot, got better battery life and seemed to come into it's own. You might also go back to recovery & wipe JUST the dalvik cache & reset your permissions. Sometimes android will get confused. I know that I DO! LOL
