battery's perfectly fine

I've always had issues with battery life when using MIUI ROMs, but here I can attest to that not being the case with this port :victory:

attached are screencaps when I was running AOKP JB2.2 and MIUI 3.5.31 ...

(both instances are running seeder to eliminate any entropy issues, CPUsleeper from the playstore, ROM packaged kernels, no CPU tweaking)

I do have an aftermarket Anker 2200mAh battery instead of stock battery

I will say, however, that I am experiencing notable battery heat issues on this ROM. not to the extent of hindering performance or harming hardware ::yet:: but still very noticeable when it's my back pocket.

----------------------

roughly two days of running this ROM and I can't say I really want to go flash to anything that isn't MIUIv5 or greater. my notes/issues:

PROS:

-playing games is very much smoother than most ROMs I've flashed on my T989 (i.e. WordsFree, Dragon,Fly!, ReadySteadyBang!)

-permissions must be managed using "permissions" app, not "LBEguard" app. once done, you should stop getting LBE FC issues) :o

-installing and using the new playstore4.1.6 is totally flawless

-MIUI music is more charming than ever, Gallery is flawless, Gmail looks sexy, even Google Calendar caught my eye

-viper4Android is siiiiiccckk (driver set for processor type A9 for T989)

-media apps cooperate with CM10 camera just fine (i.e. Snapcaht, Instagram, facebook photo sharing, Vine)

-HDtheming is greater than ever on this gorgeous superAMOLED (currently using MeeGO v5 UI, HoloV5 lock, v5_extended iconset)

-be sure! to enable "disable HW overlays" and disable "force GPU rendering" in dev settings

every

time

you

reboot

-all google account sync options are available and complete

-Swype beta installs fairly straightforward and functions completely fine! :good:

CONS:

-sound quality during voice calls is still awful (reports of "muffled voice" "hearing every other word" "robot")

-my phone gets really hot

-sometimes RAM consumption is a real bugger, but if you manage your recent apps correctly (lock some) then "clean" in recent panel ... s'ok

-compass orientation (via either Maps or MIUI "compass" app) is mostly laggy or straight up bizarre (also flashed AGPSpatch v3.1 to no avail)

...a few other things I can't think of right now

incredible work! thank you muchly for your dedication to an awesome project. can't wait to see more :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] theminigame:
Yeah been awhile since I ported miui.. got it mixed up with another thing..

But now that I think about it.. I think it was a line that needed to be changed in the input services.smali in.. the service.jar, I think?

Anyways, you're the dev, didn't mean to undermine you. You know what you're doing much more than I know.

Okay, guys.... this has been a loooonnngg time coming. All the other MIUI ROMs have had a number of issues which have prevented me from using them. HOWEVER !!! this one works...great job! Mute, works. Recording works (playback volume a bit low), I have not had any lag, BIG one...call quality much better!! Can you please make the speaker phone volume a bit louder and I liked the older version of the music app ( liked the spectrograph..maybe just need to get use to the new one).

Update: Spoke tooo soon, BT & music player has an issue in my car. I can synch the connection and make calls and then play music (this works well), but if I leave my car(BT still enabled) then come back a few minutes later, BT connects, but music play wont play. I have to delete the connection and then re-add it. The opther thing is LBE Guard closes quite often (cleared the cache and data).

I accidentally discovered a cool feature of v5. If you swipe down on the music icon instead of clicking it you get a different interface that flies out of the icon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] volkly:
Flashed it and my review so far,

Much faster than previous version

call audio is still mumbled on other end when using handset, but if i'm on Bluetooth or speaker phone mode, no mumble audio

Camera works, but can someone confirm if the video recorder works on theirs? I can record but its not focusing and after recording, it FC's

Love this Rom so far, will be my Daily Driver
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sw6lee:
I don't know about ALL the themes, but the ones that i've tried don't theme the brightness control bar in the notification centre. I believe they are even optimized for V5 as they look identical to the original one in the screenshot, BUT they changed it to green. But when I apply the theme, the shortcut buttons become green, but not the brightness control bar.

Is this fixed already? I don't think i'm running the latest release, don't really have much time to upgrade yet.

Thanks.

I love this ROM & usually don't like MIUI roms but this 1 is great. The only thing 1 don't like is when you unlock the phone they want you to open to text msgs & don't give the option to open to anything else. & my lockbot app doesn't work with this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
ok so it was a fluke, i was on 3.5.31 on test #1 went back to 3.6.7 test #2, audio, still muffled tho, and no option to enable NS.

Sent from my cell phone telephone....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
Yes, call audio is muffled on the other end of the call due to lack of noise suppression miui. The cm10 phone.apk works but then lose miui theming in incoming & outgoing calls.

You can disable the lock screen under security I believe you have to select "access the system directly"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
[MENTION=4036181]kj2112[/MENTION] I told you wrong about where to disable lockscreen it's under developer options. Check access system directly.. then no lock screen.

Can you post your CM10 phone.apk so I don't have to download the whole ROM to get the .apk with noise Suppression, please?

Also I have read somewhere in here, someone is flashing GAPPS...Or a small version of GAPPS...Necessary or not?

I may just take the plunge since my AOKP MIUI themed rom just isn't....MIUI enough ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokinjoe2122:
Not a MIUI theme, just a faux iOS launcher. Also MIUI and iOS are completely different even though they look similar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ixx9xavs1yk31db/Phone.apk

just push it to the system directory with a root file manager, and set permissions.

and yes you must flash 4.1.2 gapps if you want the play store and such. There have been reports from some that flashing the ROM and the Gapps packages back to back cause an issue with the home button not working, but I have done it this way and have not had issues at all.

I also wanted to make sure you know that using this phone apk, even though it does fix the call quality issue, it breaks the miui theme in the incoming and outgoing calls. It also causes the option to vibrate in normal ringtone mode to not work. So even though it resolves a major issue, it causes a few.

I am still looking into re-themeing the phone.apk so it will fit in better, but when i compared the images of the miui phone and the cm phone there are some major structure differences so it might not be possible but it wont stop me from trying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokinjoe2122:
Thanks...If anything, I paid for ExDialer awhile ago...Can theme and add vibrate with that :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
possibly, if it works, let me know., and I'll get it too but i tried the free version and when the phone actually dials, it still pops into the CM dialer interface, so it seems the phone.apk needs themeing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
[MENTION=4229751]Notorious[/MENTION] if I can't figure out themeing the phone.apk, I will pay you to edit the smali. Yes, it is bugging me that much that the phone does not look like miui. :(

Nice name change BTW.

I'm trying to figure out a way to swap hdpi drawables from the miui phone apk to the cm that has the good call quality. So the whole enchilada. Problem is there are major structure difference from what I see I have both of the files decompiled on my computer.

I really like this rom, but tired of the call quality issue which has been with it forever. The problem is with the mic pickup ( the gain). To the developer, if possible, disable the noise suppression , or increase the mic pickup volume.. The mic pickup is too low. If you can do this, it will be a big win.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cgibbons51:
Does this rom lower battery life or does it seem good :) cause i might use it seems really cool looking :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
There is a fix..although its kind of an ugly one. If you use the phone.apk from cm10 it fixes call quality. However it breaks the themeing in incoming and out going calls. And also vibration in normal call mode. Vibration in silent still works. I am trying to retheme the apk but have not been successful yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
For those of you using the CM dialer replacement to fix the call quality, I thought I post some of my progress on rethemeing the phone.apk. I am not going to post the file until I have completed the themeing, but if you look at the screenshots below you can see what i have so far. This may not be what i settle on but as you can see it fits with miui much better than before. The first screenshot is the miui dialer, i posted it for comparison.

I probably won't be able to match the original exactly because I am just replacing images. So far I am pleased with the progress.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] srdryl:
I followed what it says but I still see the carrier label
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokinjoe2122:
Enter a space into the edit field and save. Then reboot. It should remove the carrier label-

On a side note, is everything smooth for you guys? I'm getting glitchy animations and sometimes transitions. Are you guys using any different kernel or additional settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
You shouldn't even have to reboot, all I ever did with this is toggle airplane mode on then back off, and the carrier label goes away. You have to atleast enter a space in the label otherwise the label stays. I tried just leaving it blank and that didn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
Have you tried changing the animation duration under development settings. I have mine set to .5 on all and it seems to help a little.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokinjoe2122:
I tried that myself. I even tried Installing another kernel, but it only makes it worse. I think changing the composition type to dyn may make a difference instead of it being pushed by the GPU completely, but I cannot seem to edit the build.prop...

Edit: Finally able to change to dyn with ES explorer (Not Root Explorer, which is strange) and it runs better (Graphically). I also allowed only 3 background apps at once in Dev settings, and I changed my min cpu to 486. It's not 100% better, but it seems less frame-rate glitchy.
