...just as I get 2.7.2 all set up nicely. This always happens to me! :p

I love it when you get on a roll with updates though! :D
[Nexus One Android Development] kpjimmy:
I just awakened and found that rod updated yet again. You spoil us man! LOL

I accidentally chose the option to wipe data in RA lol and thought....aw hell I gotta restore all my apps again. Thank god I did a MIUI settings backup hehe....That in turns restores my MIUI folders back where I had them from my last MIUI backup. That saves me some time to restore my widgets and such.

Initial boot has the drop down menu in chinese, but a reboot fixes that. Also remember to perform the a2sd check and cachesd. Before doing any restores.
[Nexus One Android Development] Bloodflame:
+1 jimmy :)

You also noticing the settings menu looks a little different? I no longer see "bubbles" around the options, it just stretches right to the edges. Same thing in Theme Manager (and I'm sure elsewhere, but I haven't checked). Not sure if it's meant to be like that in MIUI's latest version, or if it's a possible bug.

Speaking of settings... Ringtone is still misspelled as Rington :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Just flashed the new 2.8... As usual, it's a great job with some caveats regarding languages.

After setting local to English and rebooting, all Chinese go away, great!

Then I add MoreLocale and set French as locale to get the French news etc. (I'm not too troubled with the language of the ROM being English, being bilingual, but for news and some other apps that work based on the language declared in the system, that really is a plus). and voilà... Chinese's back in all the settings menu (not in the notification drop-down options however... )

So question is, is there any way of getting rid of the Chinese menus while still using French as locale? If not, is there a way I can have the news widget to give me French stories?

Anyway, that's not a deal breaker for me, so even if there's no solutions, I'll stick to this very nice ROM!
[Nexus One Android Development] Bloodflame:
First problem to report: SetCPU caused system to reboot when pressing the Profiles tab. Worked on second attempt.

And for those wondering, my Quadrant score on v2.8 is 1449

(Pershoot's kernel 2.6.35.11)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I don't have that... Menus look "as usual" with the bubbles still there.

But I cannot rule out that I'm the one having a bug... The sample's too small ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Bloodflame:
Nevermind. It was the theme I was using :p I feel stupid now. Haha
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Disregard. OTA...that's Over the Air Upgrade to the next version number. Probably will not see this when you update with a ROM instead, or if they update the build.prop file as a guess. In any case, ignore it.
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
Yea I get chinese in my notification drop down. I have more locale with EN hong kong set. I hope to get those chinese into english too.

Rod, shld we use the pershoot u recommended earlier or try the miui stock one...? Which shld be better... Tks
[Nexus One Android Development] Jesse6749:
Doc, Rod's 2.7.1 worked ok for me, but so far my favorites have been MIUI-AU 1.2.11-Part-X1 and 1.2.19-D2W both of those have been pretty stable and I get to use my entire Ext4 parttion for my apps.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Glad I procrastinated with 2.7.2. Was just about to flash when I decided to look online onemore time :)

Are you Overcocking or running stock WRT quadrant out of curiosity. And did you upgrade via wipe caches or clean install, and if clean install, was quadrant based on install with no other apps basically other than Rods. I really wanted to get a baseline on these scores is all, other wise it's really a waste of time just stating a number. Hard to read the screen shots bit it almost looks like a high 1700 or 1800 score from Rod.

If you posted any of this earlier...sorry for duplicate noon questions. Gotta go out to celebrate #60 in a few hours and don't want to wait on installing :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Bloodflame:
I updated from 2.7.2 wiping only cache and dalvik, 3x each just to be safe.

using Pershoot's latest kernel, overclocked. I didn't test until restoring all my apps, sending cache to sd, and rebooting a few times. I didn't FC any apps to run the test. I simply tested under normal conditions that I would run any other app under.

Rod's screenshot says 1888, but that's also an old screenshot. Highest I got was low 1800's on v2.5.2. I don't really care much for benchmarks, to be honest. As long as I notice the ROM is fast and stable, that's all that really matters at the end of the day.

For the record, at stock clocks (and undervolted), i get a score of around 1300.
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
The old good Rod is back!

With an update every 12h :D :eek: :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I agree. I am waiting for X1 again. Meantime I just got my old FC's on upgradeing 2.7.1 to 2.8 with theme mamanger and Terminal. Whatever was supposed to be fixed, isn't. Back to installing my own APK again :(
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I was able to squeek out one 1409. No biggie. But back to thememanager fc and terminal fc. Time to R&R thememanager.apk again...at least for me with a simple upgrade on top of 2.7.1

Edit: Approx 100 market apps, and just decided to check the memory. See attached. So Far so good now with new thememanager. All chinese but I can still tell what do do.
[Nexus One Android Development] resinous:
does this rom still use D2W?

I'm still on 2.5.3.
[Nexus One Android Development] Bloodflame:
no FC's here in Terminal or Theme Manager. I used Terminal for a2sd, and I'm always tweaking my themes. I actually haven't had a single FC at all so far!

btw Doc, I think I'm using the same theme as you :D arc. from miuithemes.com?
[Nexus One Android Development] Bloodflame:
D2W is long gone, at least until it's proven to be more stable

Back to the trusty old A2SD+ now! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
On 2.8 I get results fairly similar to what I got with 2.5.2 and various MiUI-AU : in the vicinity of 1400. All of these with the same WM kernel, overclocked at 1113, but undervolted.

With that kernel (which is great for camera,FM and not sucking too much battery) I nevery really managed to get above that. Was wondering about the 1888 score and how it was achieved (I guess that having more than 150 apps on the phone does not help too much ;) but I'm sure there's more to it)

EDIT...

I'm wondering what the perfs and all would have been with the "stock" kernel... In the 5 mn I toyed with the phone between the flashing of 2.8 and the flashing of WM's kernel, I had the feeling that everything was VERY responsive and quick... Even though the OC was less pronounced... Maybe the effect of not undervolting? But how does that impact battery life?

Humm so many questions, so little time to answer them...
[Nexus One Android Development] kpjimmy:
Installed 2.8 with a data wipe. I restored all apps via titanium and probably the reason why my terminal doesnt work? No matter, I don't use it so it's no biggie on my end. Camera and camcorder works at highest settings. Pandora works, and the gallery is still fast as the last version. However, I use just pictures found from here.

Also quadrant scores of around 1300s using pershoots.
[Nexus One Android Development] Bakano:
So are you getting better experiences with "Camera" or "MIUI Camera"??? I'm not sure which to use. I've been using the MIUI, but then in 2.8 I see the "Camera" app back, so just thought I would ask around.

Thanks for the feedback, in advance =)
[Nexus One Android Development] resinous:
glad to hear :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jeffokada81:
I get just over 1600 consistantly. Are you using setcpu or CPU Tuner? I am also running WM Kernel
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
Ok I think that there's a bug in the camera, cause everytime I take some pictures itouch the play button next to camera and then suddenly my miui music starts to play, weird ,It fC,then I rebooted and try it again it does the same...does anyone has tryit,just take about 3 to 4 pictures then try to see them and the music will start to play....
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
First off, the new Black market is ****ING AMAZING!!!!

WOW! Its so sleek looking. Looks so cool, great job Rod. Great job.

Bad thing (only played with it for 5 minutes) is if you press the camera (not MIUI camera) and double tap to zoom, it crashes. MIUI Camera is fine though (in terms of zoom).
[Nexus One Android Development] Bloodflame:
I can't speak for Google's camera app, as I removed it right away, but MIUI's is running perfectly for me. No FC's, no music (which I must say, would be very strange!) 720p recording works like a charm.

I forgot to mention it, but I totally agree - the black market is awesome! I've been using pendo's blue market until now, but I'm keeping the black one this time. Still v2.2.7 though. Any chance of an update Rod?

I was getting the same on WM in previous versions of MIUIMOD. Considering going back. What advantages would Pershoot's have, other than being a newer version number. Specific bugs, maybe? Lower voltages (to save battery)?? I'll be honest, I only started playing with various kernels a couple weeks ago, so I'm still educating myself on the whole thing :p

As long as I have good battery life and decent speed, I'm happy :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I'm using set CPU.... maybe it's not the same version of the kernel (though I don't really see how that could explain such large difference)... More probably it's the number of apps I have. Do you run the bench after a clean install, before installing anything else?

Anyway, no one about "localing" that rom a bit more, without getting too many Chinese strings (optimally, none) to creep back in?

I'm considering replacing the "Settings.apk" (that's the place where most of the Chines characters remain when changing the language) with the one of the French translation from MiUI-Dev... But the question is "are there many RoD's mods to settings.apk?"...
[Nexus One Android Development] l3nnon:
This latest version 2.8 is it without twitter.. Im lost my twitter
[Nexus One Android Development] terente0081:
I'm on 2.7 right now, using IR's AVS kernel. D2W never gave me any problems.. I was wondering what would I have to do to get 2.8 with D2W?

I'm planning on upgrading to 2.8 with D2W and get one of IR's newer CAVS kernels.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Yeah, we are using the same theme. Was it the font in the attachment? I have to look to figure out how you knew that. Last night, all of a sudden I had an FC attack. Reminded me of installing moviestar MIUI D2whatever on the first boot. Ended up deleting both caches in recovery and let it boot back up from there and so far all is OK. No idea where those FC's came from.

Edit: Maybe it was because I was watching the Elvis show at the Aria on the Las Vegas strip last night. Out on the town celebrating #60 today. Except now my body feels like 80 :eek:
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I am pretty sure the camera mods are meant to be used with miuicamera. Way back a few versions or so, I believe some OP's used both camera apps. One was for camera and one was for camcorder since there were issues where one app could not properly handle both. Pretty sure this was resolved, but for whatever reason, both apps are still on these ROMs. No reason NOT to delete the stock version now, as far as I know. But...I would still verify this with Rod, before doing this ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
download from the market
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
Is 2.8 A2SD or D2W?
[Nexus One Android Development] Obsy:
is A2SD because D2W it's not so stable...
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I was going to try something similar now. Basically have to run the darkT script to uninstall. Then go to this thread, and use one of the standalone add on versions.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=867049

Edit: Looks like you do NOT uninstall DarkT script, based on what I just read. Best to review this from the reference. I will post back results. I would have assumes to uninstall the scripting, but maybe installing the update to D2whatever does this for you.
[Nexus One Android Development] gui.aguiar:
I didn't like the new icons...

They look all the same...
[Nexus One Android Development] fni69:
In the latest mod (2.8 German)when you try to set a Personal Password and you select PIN there are only numbers 1-9 no 0 no back and no ok Button....

i have to set a pin cause of security settings at the exchange server in my company :)

i wiped everything for install cause coming from 2.6

somenone else have this "bug" :D
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
interesting. i only have 1-9 also
[Nexus One Android Development] superlantern:
I had 2.8 and the market would not find any apps like anything by adobe.
[Nexus One Android Development] Bloodflame:
I'm on 2.8 right now and I just searched Adobe - found everything: Flash, AIR, Reader, Photoshop Express, etc.
[Nexus One Android Development] superlantern:
Not sure what happened but I had done a full wipe and flash first. Nothing would be found especailly using the find in market function in titanium.
[Nexus One Android Development] iammbox:
is anyone having a problem with the news & weather app not detecting your location?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Nope, no problems... well at least for weather. I get US new instead of French, but that goes with the locale being set at English (US).
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
Noob question but how can we change Fonts?
[Nexus One Android Development] DEADover:
2.8 is much much stable & faster\smoother for me then 2.6-2.7 releases
[Nexus One Android Development] lilcleo001:
On 2.8 do I still have to do the whole Terminal/app2sd thing? I did it for the cache but didn't see for the apps.
[Nexus One Android Development] missinglink69:
On 2.8 do I still have to do the whole Terminal/app2sd thing? I did it for the cache but didn't see for the apps.

Yes you do have to follow the a2sd commands
[Nexus One Android Development] iammbox:
rom is perfect for what i need it for.

thanks rod!

i was wondering if there a way to add a tether/hotpspot short cut in the button list in the notification drop down

thanks in advance
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
.fixed....
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
^THIS would be amazing. I don't buy internet, I Hotspot via my phone to my PC.

I have to go to setting>system>hotspot

Best option I found so far was to create a shortcut to the system settings, but its still a few extra clicks.

Gets annoying since I use it extremely frequently.
[Nexus One Android Development] MrCDWJR:
the only issue im running into is my text message notification doesnt clear after i check the message. i have to reopen the messaging app for it to clear.
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
Installed on full wipe,

rebooted 5 times

but still getting ''rington'' and some chinese/german...

Quadrant can't get better than 1200 while MM 1.7 HD is 1250,but it's still way better than the 900 I got with previous MIUI...
[Nexus One Android Development] chetanthaker:
The last I downloaded was a 2.6.x release and it had quite a few chinese words on it. Just wanted to ask if 2.8 is a 100% translated ROM (to English)?

If yes, only then I download it. Downloading from Multiupload, etc without a paid account is not a very pleasing experience :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Well two considerations...

First, if you test the different servers for download in multiupload, you can get the file fairly quickly and without any probems (I DL'd v2.8 in like 2 minutes, maybe less, and that's while I'm surfing elsewhere, so not that bad ;) )

Second, in my experience, there's nothing Chinese left in that rom if you follow instructions correctly: ie boot a first time (find plenty of Chinese, in the settings menus and in the dropdown notification actions bar), then go to the settings/system/language & input settings and select "English (US)" as your Locale. Then reboot.... et voilà, you'll only have English.

If you select anything else (apart maybe German), you'll have Chinese stuff here and there (mostly in settings).

I have asked if a lot of the Settings.apk is moded by RoD, because I was thinking that if you want to use a different Locale, the solution might well be the just push the settings.apk from the corresponding language pack found on MiUI-Dev and have a satisfyingly translated, hopefully mostly RoD-moded, MiUI version.
[Nexus One Android Development] krokiller:
Hi Rod,

Well, after trying 2.8 I can tell your ROM is rock stable & fast again, thanks for your hard work!

But in fact I didn't like the overall new look of the ROM and I know that's what "RoDrIgUeZsTyLe™ MIUIMOD" means but, about your distros it's not just about looks for me, it's functions and feeling that I'm using a "complete" ROM. After trying MIUI-AU and other MIUI distros, I can say that you're the best at cooking them. After trying some themes and other things about look of the rom, I've managed to make it a little different but still far from original distro. Then I've realized even I can manage to make it like original distro, almost every week I have to make it over an over again due to new MIUI releases. So is it possible that you make also more plain looking versions of your ROM? Or is there a easy way to make it like original? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Android Development] KROMO50:
Yes I love your rom as well just would like the stock look. It would be great if you can release stock theme thank you for your great work.
[Nexus One Android Development] gui.aguiar:
Is it compatible with Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 04???

How can I put all my apks in sd card?
[Nexus One Android Development] kpjimmy:
2.8 Day 3

After playing with 2.8 and making sure the things I use work for the most part, I found that when using folder organizer (lite), when I try to choose an application, the menu hangs for a good 5-8 seconds before the listing of my apps show up. Not 100% sure if its rom related or app related, but I have never had a lag like that ever. Going to reboot to see if that fixes issue or not.

market problems

Thanks for the great ROM, keep up the work ROD

The only problem im having is I CANT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING OFF THE MARKET, every time i try it says "download was unsuccessful, please try again." I tried clearing market data moving the cache and reboots but nothing, am i the only one?
[Nexus One Android Development] amibumping:
Can anyone put some screencaptures of the new theme, it's just curiosity, cause i have the 2.7.2 and i want to see it.

Thanks for all
[Nexus One Android Development] gui.aguiar:
O already know Darktremor, but I don't know if I can use it on nexus one.

I was using an app that moves all your apps to SD card, but I don't remember its name...
[Nexus One Android Development] rodigezstyle:
Small Update...
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
Tks Rod. i would assume a dalvik and a cache wipe is ok. no need data wipe... :D
[Nexus One Android Development] downhillmaniac1:
Hey, not sure if it's just me but I'm not seeing any response from the home or search buttons (with latest 2.8.2). It vibrates, but nothing happens. Doesn't matter what app/home screen I'm in/on.

Other than that, looks great! Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] superlantern:
I wiped dalvik and cache then flashed 2.8.2....stuck on the X...gotta love nandroid
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
i flashed the 2.8.2 with only dalvik and cache wipe. everything seems fine so far, and both home and search buttons behave as normal. maybe u shld try reinstall...

Edited: but a2sd check and a2sd cachesd need to be executed after flashing. if use other kernel then reflash kernel is also needed
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
but one thing i find interesting is that even i use english (with morelocale setting = EN (Hong Kong) i still get some chinese... it would be nice if it can be fixed in future, altho i can read chinese :rolleyes:

tks!
[Nexus One Android Development] thatguyzx:
I had the same until I rebooted. All English now. Then again, I don't use morelocale and left it at default English language.
[Nexus One Android Development] fni69:
After flashing 2.8.2 there is still the same bug with entering your personal pin

still only the numbers 1-9 and no OK Button no zero

for now i've found a workaround for me - i've installed Enhanced E-Mail cause there is no mandantory pin for exchange syncing :)

but it would be wonderful if in one of the next versions the pin could work again ;)

beside this i'm very pleased with the rom an everything else is working for me :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
To have no Chinese at all, you need to reboot... And maybe select English (US). At least that's what RoD said. Maybe it works with Hong Kong English only where the words are exactly the same as in US English...
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
i tried, i can only have all english if i select EN (US) but not EN (HK) under morelocale. so i hope someone can fix this issue in future.. tks in advance
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
This Rom is very good,smooth and complete!

But I am getting a very slow transfer speed from PC to SD...100k/s max with my class4 Kingston :eek:

With other roms (Desire,GB) the speed is 2mb/s

I am pretty sure its MIUI related because I had the same problem before with MIUI

Ext4 of 1gb btw
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Well, that's more or less the problem of everyone with that mode of translation... You either stick to US English (but don't get the right news) or have Morelocale and get some Chinese in menus.

As for myself, I don't really have problems using US English for my locale, I just need to check French news on the browser, that's all ;)

Else, I'd try something based on getting a translation pack from MiUI-Dev, extracting "settings.apk" (that's where most of the remaining Chinese strings are) and pushing it to replace the RoD's version... at the risk of loosing some of his optimizing work.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I just flashed 2.8.2 : it runs smooth and nice!

Again, one needs to run a2sd cachesd(reset) to move cache to SD and recover plenty of space [that would be on terminal emulator, cf first page of this thread]

If you have a2SD+ and less than, say, 105 Mo free, you need to remove some apps (back them up with titanium) until you have that, else you get a bootloop and after flashing you'll be stuck at the X.

After having flashed, run a2SD cachesd, the phone reboots.

After this reboot, check the free memory. Should be back at more than 100 Mo.

Only then can you restore, with titanium, the apps you had removed.

You're done and ready to enjoy MiUI 1.2.25, RoDrIgUeZ sTyLe !
[Nexus One Android Development] moffe:
I have some problem with 2.8.2. I can't end a call...

Screen does not wake up when taking it from the ear. :(

I upgraded from 2.8 to 2.8.2, deleted dalvik and cache.
[Nexus One Android Development] gui.aguiar:
Is it compatible with the app Move2SD Enabler??
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Works fine here... Same type of installation as you (except for the flashing of WM's kernel... )
[Nexus One Android Development] moffe:
A quick correction... it happen two times.

I tried to restart the phone one more time and now it seems to work fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
OK then...

It's something I've seen from time to time (on every MiUI based rom I've tried) : the phone freezes for some time with a black screen. Sometimes the touchscreen becomes totally irresponsive. Waiting 20 seconds usually solves the problem. At worst you need to reboot (once I had to remove the battery). It's random, it's rare (like once every two days for the small ones), it happens.
