When trying to join 2 contacts, the contact app forecloses.

Even when trying to copy phonebook data to any Bluetooth device like car Bluetooth, the contacts app forecloses.

I think there is a bug in the contacts app.

Thanks bro...i downloaded again an flashed but again root access is not there an also Easy touch app is not working ...anyway i use this rom thinking like company rom as they won't give root access, but I m waiting for stable rom ..this MIUI rom is awesome..thanks for your hard work ....:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I dropped EasyTouch when doing the clean up. The app is available on the market.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I don't have a defined set up steps. Mostly, based on what I changed, and what the symptoms are, I decide what the step could be.

In this case, where you have a bootloop, you need to determine at what stage you are. Are you still in the kernel or did you boot further? You need to try to get the system logs as early as possible. When it bootloops, do you get the logcat?

Please test if this update has any fixes that apply to the camera. It also includes a modified copy of the JB camera. The camera is fast, can do zoom, and allows switching to the front facing camera.

But please verify if the actual darkness problem is fixed with this update or not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
I will look at this in the weekend.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Updates:

1. The JB camera fails to fix the darkness issue.

2. I installed ROM manager app, but while opening it says ' su not found in /system/bin or /system/xbin/ '. I have saved my miui backup which was created prior to removal of Chinese craps by [MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION]. In that , ROM manager is working perfectly.

Last night, in trying to do a TWRP Recovery, I lost my Gionee Logo. I've got to live with the Walton splash screen for now. And TWRP never worked. :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Probably to do with the version of su. Not found is a very incorrect error message in this case.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Did you flashed with Walton primo x1 ROM? I heard Walton primo X1 is a gn878 clone in Bangladesh.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Could one of you share me a picture/video of the stock caemra? I want to see what the brightness there looks like. I know it is hard to explain in a picture, but if you can do, it'll be helpful.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
TWRP didn't work for me too, I had to take my phone to the service. I didn't know to unbrick using flashtool back then.

That was the first night I purchased it. :D

I stumbled upon [MENTION=2674277]somberi[/MENTION] 's post to install CWM and root.

Gionee Dream D1 is having a very meek user base, even less than q800. Q800 which is also a Gionee product named gn708w in China, has a greater user base so there are Lewa , stock and AOKP mods around.

In Chinese forums mysteriously Gn878 is having very less coverage. Even needrom.com has no coverage for gionee dream d1.

Except [MENTION=2674277]somberi[/MENTION], [MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION] there are no such mods in xda also.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I raised a request on MIUI for a solid base. But I don't have much of hope that it'll happen any time soon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Yes. I unbricked using that base because there's no full stock rom for our variant. And that's why I am now with the Walton splash screen.

My intent to try TWRP was because I did not want to wear out my phone's Volume and Power button because we'll be spending a lot of time in the recovery. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
In case you are still testing your phone (and not using it as the primary device) and want to give TWRP another shot, you may want to try the suggestion in the following post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42596009&postcount=27

Since MIUI V5 is based on JellyBean 4.1.2 ROM, I think the latest 3.6.7 ROM would have been more appropriate. In some of the forums I have seen pics about dual sim manager working perfectly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DreamD1:
The main issue is, this ROM is not rooted.

Tried today also without no fruit.

Also tried the Vsun i1s ROM in the link (http://bbs.vsunmobile.com/thread-59685-1-2.html)

And it was not even fully installed, during the half of the installation process, the phone started switching ON/OFF repeatedly.

It was not even stopping & finally now back to stock using Walton's flash tool.

And now thinking of trying the Vsun i1s stock ROM with flash tool (approx.920MB:crying: - will take time for download)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
[MENTION=5248202]DreamD1[/MENTION] are you sure Vsun is dream D1?. I think its gn868, need to get that confirmed before downloading 900+ MB.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Well!! Maybe....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Did you used [MENTION=4994953]Dark4Droid[/MENTION] ROM while porting for D1?

If that, it is an older ROM and might be a beta version of v5. If you check others in this forum, the ROM ported for mmx a110 miui is quite bug free.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
GPS Problems on MIUI ROMs

I have a feeling that overall the GPS Navigation functionality is very broken in MIUI. I say that because even on my older phone (Galaxy S), with MIUI, the GPS was pathetic. The same device with CM worked a charm and GPS used to triangulate in less than 30 secs.

Now coming to Dream D1, there were many who complained that GPS on this phone was wholly broken. That it never worked for them. For me, on Stock ROM, the GPS service is decent. It did take slightly longer to triangulate (around 30 - 45 secs) but then, navigation was a breeze.

With the MIUI ROM, the GPS is useless. It is very moody. Takes 15-20 mins to triangulate. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[MENTION=5277821]debasish497[/MENTION] Do you still have stock on your device? Can you verify the GPS performance of both the ROMs ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Yes, I can verify.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Yes. THat's what I had used. I am downloading the A110 ROM right now. Let's see how it goes. :cowboy:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
To test it out, I flashed the stock rom (@somberi's). But no luck. The behavior is just like what I see with MIUI.

I think I'm going to conclude that the GPS functionality on the MediaTek SoC is degraded compared to other manufacturers. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ganesh Kumar:
how can we help to develop rom..pls suggest.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
Check the time in both pics, I waited for more than a minute to get the lock. The AGPS works fine, provides quick locking. But true GPS navigation might be a PITA.

Although we are having high rises where I stay, and last test was done under open space. But the lock should be instant < 1 mins.

Thanks [MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION] to point this, I should have taken care of AGPS factor while testing.

I have had no issues with gps, after a cold reboot i get a fix in 50 secs and there after i get locks in 20-30 secs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] somberi:
I doubt that. Have you tried the following:

Location Services-> Click on GPS Satellites-> GPS EPO assistance - enable

Location Services-> Click on GPS Satellites-> EPO Settings -> Select Auto Download

EPO File info should show the Download Time/Start Time/Expire Time

Location Services-> Click on GPS Satellites-> A-GPS assistance - enable

Reboot the device, on an open sky launch Navigation/Maps/GPS Status apps, you should get a lock within a minute.

Let me know the result :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Well. Yes. When I was on the stock rom, it worked good. But in MIUI, these settings options are not present (at least to the best of my knowledge).

When I was briefly testing the stock rom over the weekend, I didn't apply these settings. That could be the reason why I didn't get the lock in my 5 minutes of testing on the stock rom.

MIUIv5 for Dream D1 - Version 2

Version 2 of the MIUIv5 ROM for the Dream D1 is available for download.

This one was painful to prepare in some aspect, while also it was delightful in some other.

What you get with this revision is a solid MIUI ROM for the Dream D1. The camera support is much much better than what it was with v1. All thanks to this new base. The base is an A820 for the Lenovo phone.

Now don't just download and whine about bugs. I'd appreciate if you find bugs, spend some time to root cause it, and awesome if you respond back with a fix. This is a volunteer effort and I want to see others participate. Alone, I do not have enough resources to do something like this. I want you guys to pick this ROM and improve and fix the pending bugs in it.

So the pending bugs are, for what I care, listed below:

* Location reporting is completely broken. Try to port from v1 or from stock GiONEE ROM.

* Compass is broken

* Flash Light is broken.

There is no Google Apps in this release. This was the painful part, as my assumptions of Google Apps flashing, all failed. Simple steps are to log into MiShop and install Google Play from it. If things go fine, you should be able to install further apps from the Play store as usual. Please report your experiences and findings on this.

Welll!!!! Apart from this... Nothing else I can recollect. Rest of the stuff looks okay to me.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Help and collaborate on improving the ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I'd still stick with my opinion of concentrating on one ROM.

Though the Dream D1 has a very standard set of devices found on many other brands (Lenovo A820, MMX A116 etc), the binary kernel image could be different. Even before you start doing all the hodge podge porting of different Android versions, you'd first want to instead try build a kernel from src and see if that can boot.

If you look at my efforts too, the ROM is foreign but the kernel still remains the same. I wouldn't bother to put all these efforts if the kernel had a tight dependency on the stock ROM.

Just my 2 paise!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] debasish497:
[MENTION=3094817]RickyGoldsmith[/MENTION] v2 ROM is miui version latest? Or it is the one that was 2nd A820 one. The reason I ask is, I was trying to port a 3.6.14 miui and was fixing boot problems. If this is the latest, I would concentrate fixing bugs in this

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Compass and flashlight : if the version of miui is known, we can try replacing the apps.

There is an apk which downloads all gapps from the market. Even playstore can be installed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
I believe it is based of MIUI 3.6.7. But I have no way to confirm it. It definitely is NOT the buggy A820 build that I had shared with you earlier.

BTW, check the camera. You'll like it. :fingers-crossed:

Also, please share the apk that can download all of gapps. I'll link it to the main page.

Hi

First let me say again, i dont own this phone (s).

But being porting MIUI (v4 / v5) for some devices in the last year and half.

Im glad, my "modem.img/bin" tip worked well for you guys :p

1: About root problems

If you have "LBE.apk" installed in your /system/app -------> remove It, and also the "su" from /xbin

Now install an real root i sugest the one from Chain

2 About the dual-sim functions... well .... never gona happen... you will need the OEM Source Code to properly make an FULLY sim-management

(I see you tryed the sim-switcher, you can try the apkhotsim ), i had no luck with both on my ports, but maybe they suit your hardware :p

3: GPS Related: Well this one can be hard to trace, you can start by looking the smalli's on framework-miui-res/ SystemUI, services.jar / etc.

Let me just say this, MIUI is double the work from an normal stock rom, Multiple Frameworks/ Costum Strings, etc

You guys SHOULD support this DEV., MIUI is not easy to work it . :rolleyes:

In that case,.the zip should be containing the SuperSu.apk, I think you have rooted after you've zipped the ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
You are right. The SuperSu package was thrown into the /data/ partition rather than the /system partition. And I don't ship the /data content.. I'll prepare an update again.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] RickyGoldsmith:
Some cleanups

I like the the v2 version of the ROM a lot. It gives a fairly decent MIUI experience. Only, I wished, that the Location Services and GPS worked.

Well, that's how it is going to be for some time. :eek::rolleyes:

Meanwhile, while slimming the ROM, I cleaned up the following:

For people who care about this ROM, can go ahead and clean up their ROM of these APKs/JARs. Nothing changes, but just that you have less code in memory.

I could build up an update.zip, but then I'm too lazy to do such things. :D This whole reverse engineer and then port rom thingie has honestly been a delightful waste of my time. :laugh: It has pushed me away from my daily chores, my workout plan and even my PS3 gaming. And anyways, rolling out another minor version is not going to thrill anyone either. It'll just add up another couple hundred megs of download to the internet. So, if you want to get rid of these unneeded files, you know how to do that. Right??? Otherwise, the infamous words, RTFM. Or better, RTFC (Because GiONEE never released one).
