Is this software originated in China? Is it open source?

Considering the practices of the current regime, I would think twice before using on my phone any non open source software originated in China.

MIUI

My wife and I are both running MIUI on our EVOs. Battery life is hideous. The experience is awesome though still somewhat buggy. Just so you know we are running MIUI 0.12.24 with 2.6.35.9bcblend. The forums for this are very difficult to navigate through. If you have insite on this issue please post.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Just FYI that kernel was absolutely the reason for your bad battery life. Flash the latest savage and it'll go away.
[EVO 4G General] EndlessDissent:
+1. Zendroid would work just as well.

And FYI, a lot of bugs have been squashed since 12.24, and there are a lot more awesome features, like a call/SMS blacklist, Visitor Mode (makes your call logs and text history unavailable for when your friends/wife/boss/whoever uses your phone), and lots of cool UI tweaks.
[EVO 4G General] mr.bill:
o.k. valuable information. Could you please post update link for MIUI? Also a link to kernels would be nice.

MIUI has become the most popular suggestion on this thread.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
LOL @ OP

Have you tried CM7? Gingerbread is working flawlessly on the Evo.
[EVO 4G General] johnnychimpo:
Exactly. That Savage kernal rocks. My phone practically uses not battery at all in sleep mode! Im really liking the MIUI roms.
[EVO 4G General] mr.bill:
I know lol @ me, I agree. I have tried cyanogen, I followed him and his team from their humble beginnings. I was just looking for a different approach than just raw android. He and his team are unsurppassed in android development, I keep waiting for an actual phone to be released with a version of cm on it.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
From China, yes.

As for the source: I'm not entirely sure, but I believe so. http://miui-dev.com/
[EVO 4G General] mr.bill:
MIUI

The development for this rom is exceptional; however there are still too many bugs in this rom for it to be a daily driver for the the non techie person. Each new update brings a few exciting features each week, but you may also lose some from the previous build. It is fast, it is certainly a good looking rom and the overall experience is one the best I have tried.

What I know now what I miss going to these super developmental roms is the over all functionality of my EVO. I am willing to give up some things for speed, but there are funtions I do use and like. I will still follow this Rom, but I have moved back to another no sense rom with my launcher ex added. Having un flashing!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GelatinousSlime:
The other day my fiancée and I were in a T-Mobile retail store to play with their demo myTouch 4g to see if my fiancée would like it. Almost immediately she complained that while zooming in on web pages using the pinch to zoom gesture, it would not stay centered on what she was trying to zoom in on. It seemed to randomly jump around to a different part of the page forcing her to scroll around to get back to what she was trying to zoom in on. My N1 certainly doesn't do that, and we played with several other Android demo phones and none of them did so either.

Thinking it might have been a problem with the demo unit, we asked if there was another one we could try. The sale's person was confused and didn't even understand what we were asking, but she pulled out her own personal myTouch4g and let us try it and it did the exact same thing.

I didn't spend time looking through settings, but my N1 doesn't have a setting that I've found to cause it to act that way. It is a deal breaker for my fiancée, so I'm trying to figure out what the deal is, because this phone is otherwise the perfect match for her.

So, is this normal? Is there a way to make it stay centered while zooming?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werk:
Never seen the focus jump around. The browser will reflow text when you zoom so that the horizontal entirety of a block of text is visible regardless of the zoom level; I thought all android stock browsers did that. Maybe the particular site you were looking at had some weird stylesheets that caused problems for the browser trying to reflow the text?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GelatinousSlime:
That sounds very suspicious, "so that the horizontal entirety of a block of text is visible". That very well could be what it was doing and just messing up and not focusing on the correct text. However, that is exactly what we would want to turn off. My N1 (currently running stock waiting for 2.3 OTA) does not do that. I get a single view of the page that I zoom in or out on, and nothing reflows in any way.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Florian.L:
Hey everybody,

I'm new to this forum and this is my very first post. What I wanted to ask is if it is somehow possible to enable App2Sd in the original stock ROM. I already rooted the phone but do not like the idea of flashing an recovery mod and afterwards an custom ROM. Also I googled a quite a lot and found some articles where some opinions like editing the "init.rc"-file were mentioned - but they didn't explained it any further. Another one said something like setting a symlink to the ext3-partioned sd card...

One of this articles is taken from this forum: Here

I would be really happy if somedbody could help me!

Thanks in advance!

I like this idea too. i've been tried a lot customized roms and finally stated at the h3g UK official rom. rooted using universalrooting tool, RA unlocked via the developers' kit method. ready to flash any zipped customized rom but still sunning on the official rom. keen to any idea of how to enable or even add an app2sd+ function on the official rom.

I'm running 2.5.7 and GPS works absolutely fine for me.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] JinxtPhoto:
Pinpoint GPS has been working fine since Fission's inception. Google maps navigation works perfectly fine as does Aura. It is accurate enough to geocache without issue with C:Geo. Not only that, but unlike many other ROMs the compass calibration in the system options actually works in Fission. It's not going to give you good GPS indoors as that is a limitation of GPS technology itself and doesn't work well even with a bone stock phone.

While the stock theme is not GB, per-se, (it is the standard black notification bar that has been default for the past few revisions) there is a GB theme available for this ROM through the Fission ROM Manager and it also adds in the optional animation add-ons (one version of the theme includes the new transitions one does not).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokingmango:
Ok so I got a fellow co worker who we both have the excat phone expect mine is white and hers is black. Same hardware same Myns RLS5 same Radio updates and all.

My phone syncs with Exchange just fine no issues, hers will sync fine with Email, contacts but calendar will not sync at all. If you go to the sync area you can watch it spin then flash and start again. No before when she was on RLS 2 it worked fine for a short while then stopped working. I have cleared app data for the calendar and turned the sync back on, i have removed and readded her exchange account, I have had her run the battery down to 1% and then charge it. I cleared Cache davlik, and having access to the exchange server and AD i have fiddled with that as well. Nothing changes the fact that it will spin and flash and continue spinning.

At this point i am thinking that for some odd reason it is hardware, unless someone can point me in a direction to fix this for her.

Hello, I purchased a Tosiba Canvio and did not realized it was formatted for mac only, I can only see it in disk management and only get an option to delete volume on the 500gb portion of it and an extra partition which might be for the software. How can I partition it for windows only? Thanks

deleted volumes and works great on windows 7 but not on xp, I believe it is due to the mac os software partition which cannot be deleted. I went to discmagmt on xp only shows drive as protect all together, any ideas?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timelzayus:
Hi all !

Browsing the Android Development forum I could find those roms :

MoDaCo Custom ROM, Bionix NS and GingerS SMALL

As I understand, all three :

- are based on GRH78

- have su / root

- have an unsecure bootloader to enable adb remount

- have the new market

- have busybox

- have various kernel and system optimisations

So, I would like to know :

* What are the diference between them ? (not which one is the best, which is a very different and troll-making question).

* What are the advantages of each of them ?

* Why are they better than the OTA rom (considering that su / root and the new market are installed) ?

Thank you very much !
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
I know this isnt going to answer your question, but it really is all preference
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
modaco ROMs are all about being very close to stock ROMs, but with some nice refinements and extras that you need like super user etc.

i dont know those other 3 unfortunately...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
MoDaCo is all about maintaining a stock look and feel with just some of his own "optimization scripts" ran on the system. I believe he also deodexes so you can apply themes. He's big on stability as well.

I've only used Bionix on my friend's T-Mo Vibrant, so not sure about on the NS, but it seems more geared towards tweaking out every last bit of performance, and changes the look and feel. It's been a great ROM on my friend's Vibrant.

I've never heard of the third one you linked until you linked it.

I've not yet felt the need to move from stock on my NS. There's a few tweaks I'd like to see (like battery percentage in the status bar), but unlike previous phones, this one just feels great right out of the box.

I'll probably go for Cyanogen v7 once it's stable. Best of the Best on most devices.

But like slowz3r says, it's really just preference. Try them all if you really feel compelled and see which fits your tastes the best. ;)

edit: but warning, being a ROM flasher can be addicting once you start.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
Also being NAND memory, and without TRIM support on Android, you're theoretically hurting that partition's read/write performance each time you flash a ROM. That said, I've flashed the living daylights out of my Nexus One, and it never felt any slower. From what I've read about SSDs on standard PCs, it isn't too horrible.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timelzayus:
I had a HTC Hero before my NS, I'm already a flasher addict. It's too late for me ;)

To summerize and help me choose, I did this chart. It is probably incomplete and relies only on the rom description by their author. If they have a feature and did not mention it, it will be absent on this chart. Sorry folks, if you don't advertise it, we can't know it's here...

As soon as Cyanogen Mod 7 is stable, I'll go on it (CM is such an amazing work). Meanwhile, I think MoDaCo will be fine for me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
where did you find that chart?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonnysekhon:
He made it.

You should consider CM7 Alpha3 as well. Its very stable and comes with a few extra goodies that the other ROMs don't have.

For example, the notification bar widgets, various tweaks in CM settings, rendering effect etc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
Guess i didnt see that

may i suggest you keep updating that chart, im sure people will find it useful
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
A lot of people are awaiting CM7 Stable.. but honestly, the nightlies are stable and I haven't experienced any problems with them. Torch isn't working, but there are alternatives on the market.

Try it out, just perform a nandroid backup before flashing.. don't like it? Nandroid restore and you're back to where you were before you flashed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I'll try a preview or rc version, maybe even beta, but I'm just not interested in anything that's still labeled alpha, personally, though not arguing that it's not stable.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timelzayus:
You may suggest ;) But I won't. Sorry, I have a job, a girlfriend and a lot of opensource project... But if someone wants to keep it up to date, I can transmit the ods file.

Well I have trouble understanding it's completely stable with the "alpha" postfix. Some hardware, some features, I don't know, something must be unstable for it to be marked alpha...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonnysekhon:
Its labeled alpha because some of the CM specific goodies are not yet included (battery %, UI customizaion, phone/mms lockscreen sliders and other tweaks etc).

But otherwise its stable and everything pertaining to stock GB works fine.

CM7 RC1 cannot be << CM6.1.1 Stable ;).

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javaCity:
well, is it possible to implement bouncy scrolling in x10, the one with the spring effect at the end of the document? I guess Apple has a patent for it, heck it has patent for everything!

I did some searching and got that we can have this effect in the homescreen (through adw launcher), but i am talking about every scrollable menu list.

Incase you don't get what i am talking about, the effect is in devices like iPhone, Samsung Captivate, etc. When a menu list reaches its end, the scroll does not stop, rather there is an spring like effect which allows the list to go little up or down, depending upon the direction of the scroll.

Cheers!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dforesi:
For the home screen and app drawer this is definitely availible through adw and possibly launcher pro. However in order to have an effect in menus like system preferences and such would I require a modification to the rom I believe. I could be wrong
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javaCity:
was thinking the same thing. i suppose its not easy as like opening build.prop and putting a line that says " windowsmgr.scroll_cool_bouncy_effect = yes ", is it? haha.

Do you mean Hboot or recovery? If you are in hboot then toggle down to recovery and from there go to restore and your image should be there...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
The "no image" is in HBOOT, and it is looking for any one of three specific files that would be on the root of the SD card. Those would be RUU files, radio files, or something that you put there to update something like that. If they are not there, which unless you are flashing them, then this message is normal.

Otherwise those files shouldn't just sit on your SD card, cause anytime you'd boot into HBOOT, it would want to load them each time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WILL_B_WOODS:
Make sure you put this image file on the Root of the SD card, if its in a folder HBOOT wont find it.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] CraKenDK:
After trying to get the trackball to blink with "FroydVillian 1.7.2" and Elelinux Special Edition 2.2.1.

I restored my Hero with my backed up Cyanogen ROM and tryed some diffenrent things. Then I got the trackball to blink, using "SMS Popup" .

I restored my Hero again and made this guide for you. It was actually easier than I thought.

Step 1:

Install "SMS Popup" from the Market (If you havn't done this yet).

Step 2:

Open "SMS Popup" and go to: "Notifications" --> "Default Notifications".

(Remember to disable all ofther notifications from other apps)

Step 3:

Under "LED Configuration" check "Blink LED" (if not already selected).

Choose "LED Color" and "Custom".

Step 4:

Now scroll all three bars (Red, Green and Blue) to 255 and push "OK".

Step 5:

Leave "SMS Popup" and wait for a SMS.

Be aware that the screen MUST turn off (black screen) before the trackball will begin to blink.

I don't know if the developer "Adam K" knows this, so I have sent him an e-mail

PS.: If the trackball is not blinking you might need to flash the light notification fix from here: http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=827593. (I have not done that).

Good luck.

Kenneth

Yes the Hero does it, when you got it from HTC, but if you have rooted it and running Cyanogen 6.1 Final, it doesn't use the trackball for message notifications.
