Actually, the recovery doesn't do it, but the updater-script in the Rom should. I finally got it to work, but not by any steps listed on this thread.

Here is what I ACTUALLY had to do to successfully install

I had to install version 4.4.4 first (without gapps), run Welcome (MIUI not Google this time). Then upgrade to 4.4.18 on a dirty flash and install GAPPS.

Something in 4.4.18 was still trying to do the Google welcome even though I had not installed Gapps, and getting hung at the wifi setup. On 4.4.4 I got a completely different welcome and wifi setup, which allowed me to proceed without issue.

This shows that there is clearly a problem that needs fixed in the more recent versions.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Erik1805:
Strange, didn't have that problem with 4.4.18 after system format.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
having same problems. bit of a joke. not going to faff around with downgrading and upgrading to get it to work :( shame. I liked MIUI. although i'm not sure how useful it will be on a tablet as it was quite a phone-centric build of CM

edit: plus there seems to be still a bunch of chinese text (copy and paste texts) in the rom :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lotherius:
I didn't do my research, and didn't realize it doesn't support themes like the older MIUI did until after I had gone through all the trouble of installing. So I moved on to CM11, which has its own issues.... so I'll be trying SlimKat next I suppose. All this because I want theming. Rooted AOSP+Xposed was fine for me otherwise.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ossito2012:
I feel what you saying but I did get it to work in multirom by installing w/o gapps and then flashing gapps after first boot
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Grizzly6117:
I don't understand why people need to complain so much sometimes, just the fact your flashing something that didn't come with the same device, isn't made by the Google developers and is done by a community, people expect that everything must be working perfect for them, people must realize that changing the boundaries of the OS on its own to add features or change UI calls for complications somewhere down the line cause some code somewhere won't agree with the change and then has to be mended to work with the changes and then something else comes up,I just ask for people to appreciate the fact that people are taking their free time to change, create or port Roms for those of the community wanting to use it, without charging you money, if you were paying for the ROM your arguments would be more valid, I understand peoples frustration, but if your flashing a ROM , just muster the patience somewhere to just keep calm, ask for help if needed, and if your not happy, then go back to Stock or flash a ROM that is known to be more stable instead of working your selves up.

I Thank TimmyTim for the effort he is putting into this ROM to port it for us Nexus 7 2012 users, and wouldn't have an issue with any problem that occurs as I know not everything can be perfect straight away

Sent Using Nexus 7 with MIUI V6 by TimmyTim :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lotherius:
It's not so much that people expect perfection. Rather, people expect to be able to know what to expect when flashing. If something is broken, then document it. If there are "issues" to be known, then it's good to be able to find them by looking at the thread and decide for yourself if it's something you can live with. Making "issues" public isn't merely complaining, it is helping others make an informed decision. And, like I said on my last comment, "I didn't do my research". I made it easy for others to do their research by posting my own experiences.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
It's not a KNOWN ISSUE, it's COMMON KNOWLEDGE to perform a full wipe. Who the ___ flashes GApps immediately after flashing a ROM without a Reboot? C'mon man, how long have you been doing this. I'm quite surpised that a "Recognized Developer" had this much trouble flashing a ROM. I'm also surprised at the level of trolling you are displaying!! You couldn';t have sent a PM could ya, NOOOO you had to air your frustrations publicly. I think people like you should have your status taken away.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
Update coming today. Was on vacation so Im sorry it wasn't delivered earlier.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lotherius:
Actually, I've never had a problem flashing GAPPs after flashing a Rom without a reboot. Also, I never said I flashed dirty - I did wipe.

That said, when I did it according to the directions on the thread, it did not fix the problem, so ripping into me for not doing something in the first place, that did not ultimately fix the problem when I did do it, doesn't make any sense. What did fix the problem was flashing the older version and then upgrading to the newer one.

Let's focus on the topic and avoid personal attacks, mmkay?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
Cool story, Alvin ;)

I will make the instructions easier to follow since you had such a hard time flashing this ROM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Tbh it doesn't work for me either. And I tried EVERYTHING! I have been cooking and flashing ROMs since before I remember but there is an apparent issue here... On some devices.

So if we could all just be a little nicer to each other we might be able to look into fixing the issue instead of filling the thread with useless *****ing?

What I've tried:

- Full wipe, Flashing latest, no gapps.

- Full wipe, 4.4.16 no gapps.

- Same for 4.4

- All of the above, then gapps.

- Edit build.prop to disable wizard - ROM won't boot with this setting :(

Anybody any other ideas?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] 1eyedmonster:
Factory reset

Wipedata

Wipe dalvic

Install Rom with cwm

Boot device into miui home screen

Reboot back into cwm

Flash gapps

Reboot
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ehmjay:
- Advance wipe through TWRP (check everything except internal storage)

- Flash Rom

- Boot device and setup miui

- Flash Gapps

Always worked for me
[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Thanks a lot - I moved over to CWM from TWRP 2.7.0.0 and it worked first time!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
Others had success with the following:

TWRP Recovery? = When you wipe, do an Advanced Wipe and select everything except for Internal SDCard and USB-OTG.

Philz Advanced Recovery? = Perform a full wipe to install a new ROM

CWM? = Don't know unfortunetly, I havent teted with this recovery. Maybe there is an option like Philz to full wipe to install a new ROM
[Nexus 7 Android Development] 1eyedmonster:
I'm reading that so many people are having trouble installing this rom but it's just dawned on me while trying to install out on my wife's nexus 7 - you have to install the latest cwm recovery so you will have to install the latest flashtool to do this
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sdg1980:
option to boot into recovery?

followed ehmjay's directions, successfully installed 4.4.25. Is there any way to enable boot into recovery option (from the boot menu). I don't see it in the Developer Options??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jack928:
For developer options go in setting--> phone info and tap 6/7 times on android version voice.

Translation?

[MENTION=3452732]timmytim[/MENTION] Before anything, Great rom!! It's awesome, I agree too. I only have one question: Is there any posibility of having this rom in spanish too? If not.. it's not a big deal...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
I only build the English/Chinese ROM but the good folks over at miuiandroid.com build the multilanguage ROMs. I dont think they have translated the ROM to Spanish though but keep checking back on their site for progress :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Najuto9tail:
Rom is running great with multiboot. I have CM 11 + miui v6. Miui is awesome, good looking rom.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dave5777:
Works great no problems here. Does anyone know how to change the miui theme? I don't see the themes app.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jack928:
You don't see the app because in the miui v6 theme app not exist
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dave5777:
That's kinda the whole point of Miui is all the online themes.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jack928:
Don't worry probably they implement again in the next week
[Nexus 7 Android Development] DQEight:
I havent personally tried but see if you can find a tablet modified version of the mi launcher.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] woshiweili:
I agree but it's not as if the theme app is available and timmytim purposely left it out just for fun. It simply isn't available.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Maxximo88:
In download!

Please could you clarify how to get it in other languages than English?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jack928:
Vai su miuiandroid.com weekly rom in italiano non c'è ancora.

Go on miuiandroid.com and download grouper version
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Maxximo88:
I fund a file called "miuiandroid_multi_grouper_4.4.25_kk-4.4", is it correct?But it is 268 Mb, more or less the same as the rom file.

Ho trovato un file chiamato "blablabla" è corretto?Pesa un macello, come la stessa rom grouper che ho scaricato!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jack928:
Yes correctly, in the botton of the post you can check how language is supported for the v6.

Esatto in fondo al post dopo i file ci sono le lingue supportate per la v6 .

Speriamo nell'italiano nella prossima settimana .
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Maxximo88:
No sorry I don't understand, so that file is not correct?The file is stored here: Multilang ROM downloads

Ok no problem.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jack928:

Yes is v6.

STOP SPAM
[Nexus 7 Android Development] meredithhan:
I'm in from the official team in the official forum.

I think I know better than you do?

This kind of title is misleading.

Just trying to make things clear.

But you're free to believe what you want to. :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jack928:
Why your official team call v6 the version of nexus 7?

If you want make clear situation explain better
[Nexus 7 Android Development] meredithhan:
No, the official team never said MIUI for Nexus 7 II is V6. MIUIers just got excited and thought it was V6.

It's just MIUI specially made for tablets. Maybe a bit different from V5, but it's not V6. Sorry for the confusion.

You can go to the offcial MIUI English Forum, you'll find no such words said by the official team.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jack928:
Ok, many thanks for your word!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] meredithhan:
Np :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
[MENTION=5294894]meredithhan[/MENTION] - the XDA community all refers to this version as V6 because it is KitKat and also says v6 version in the build.prop. I will change the title of this ROM since you say it is misleading. Im just giving the people what they want. :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NhatanhChampion:
1st, big thanks to timmytim for the Good ported ROM.

2nd, for tilapia's users, u want Miui on your tablet and no demand for 3G, should delete the line detects device (grouper) in /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script of this ROM.zip.

3rd, i did it and now felling so smooth on my tilapia.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] knljndl:
Just flashed the rom

Looks great

Just wanted to know that can i flash m kernel on this rom?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] yeoldeusrename:
Works for me.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] knljndl:
But I flashed m kernel and whenever I installed a new app the launcher force closed and restarts

Don't know if it is due to kernel or ROM has a bug....
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
The newest version of the ROM has a modified kernel to support all Miui functions so flashing a custom kernel will likely break something, not sure what it breaks because I dont test that, but something will break Im sure.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Maxximo88:
For those who want to try Official MIUI 3.2.22 (V4), it is available on the official MIUI Website, at the following link:

Has the link to 4.4.25 been pulled I don't see it

Any news about the theme engine ? because the icons of non-system apps (downloaded from GP ) are so ugly :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] maxniper:
How is NFC? is it already working?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
I haven't heard anything from Miui about it yet. They just dropped the MiTab tablet and Im sure they will add support for that at some point because the themes are one of the main reasons that people choose Miui ROMs.

Ans I agree... the icons are very ugly. They do not blend well with the base theme at all.

I still cannot get it to work. I haven't tried it in a few weeks but I will try again on the next release. Promise :good:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] TarteMan:
And what about a factory reset with google's factory image ? :confused:

it always save me.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Monfro:
If the bootloader is ok you should succeed to flash back recovery and make the tablet working.

Nexus 7 community needs your great work on MIUI :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
It's a hard brick. Im very familiar with Google's factory images and how to get into Recovery Mode. I assure you, it's a hard brick. It would appear that somehow the ROM that I flashed or the Recovery that I use re-wrote the Recvovery to the Bootloader partition. I cannot even hold the down button to get to Fastboot so I cannot use the factory images. Im going to try and RMA through Google.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
Here's an update from Miui this week. Sounds promising, especially about the tablet portion of this quote. If they are working on the tablet edition then I really hope they are spending their time getting the Theme Engine to work

"There're not too many changes this week as developers are focusing on MIUI for Pad and MIUI V....(Oops, I am not supposed to tell for now). Hope you understand. Thanks! "

Flash gapps

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

[Nexus 7 Android Development] timmytim:
Happy Friday the 13th!

Getting file not found for the latest version

well apparently it's only doing that on the nexus
[Nexus 7 Android Development] treChoy:
How did you go about converting it to F2FS? I tried using the converter tool, but I've had no success.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Grizzly6117:
F2FS Converter Tool

I used the converter tool that is situated in our devices thread, it converted fine and ran fine, i used the AOSP boot img and the only problem i had was installing gapps, just would not install, ive left it as i tried PA's latest rom on f2fs and that runs perfect, ive deleted the file but i can always do another and see if you can maybe flash gapps on it
[Nexus 7 Android Development] treChoy:
I tried using the AOSP boot img option, and in the F2FS recovery, I got a "some symlinks were not created" error. And from what I've read on the thread, you have to go through the set up first, THEN flash gapps.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Grizzly6117:
I'm aware of installing gapps after the miui setup, however miui is the only rom when ive converted to f2fs that wont let me flash gapps
[Nexus 7 Android Development] treChoy:
I keep getting that symlink error while compiling the ROM. Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Grizzly6117:
Make sure your running the converter tool as admin
[Nexus 7 Android Development] treChoy:
Yep, just tried that. Everything compiled correctly, but when I went to flash it, there was an error. It said that the updater-script could not be executed correctly. And it said that some symlinks weren't found. I hate to bother you, but I really want to install MIUI on the Nexus 7. Which MIUI base did you convert? And what exactly did you wipe, and then flash subsequently? I appreciate all of your help :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Grizzly6117:
Don't worry you aren't a bother, keep in mind I'm still learning as well lol, anyway, I use this convert tool here just to be clear http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2731666

make sure you run the cleanup program if you've been converting

run the program in admin, select our device (grouper of course)

then place the rom in the input folder that is then generated after wards,

go through the process, when it ask for the boot IMG to use, put in 11 being the one that came with the ROM

when everything is converted and you've repacked the ROM, make sure to use the ROM in the NewF2FS folder not the Repacked ROM folder or you'll get those errors *guess*

if it still won't flash, what I'll do is try to recreate your issue and figure out from there, or you can always give me a copy of your ROM and I'll have a look at what is the issue if I can find it

if all of this doesn't work we can always ask the person who created the convert tool as to what might be causing the issue, I am going to convert my self tomorrow morning the ROM to see if I can get it working of course, but if you get it working first that's great

hope I helped [emoji2]
