Decided to give MIUI a run yesterday, after being on Warm-Z and SkyRaider the past couple of months.

The interface looks nice and it seems to run pretty smoothly. It's going to take awhile to get used to, since I'm not an iPhone user or fan (spent a lot of time moving all the icons on the screen into a folder so I could fake an app drawer).

One Q about the 'no 720p' limitation. Does that mean playback or recording?

Otherwise, so far, so good!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Caligirl2828:
Pretty sure it's because the themes are not yet compatible with the new versions of MIUI. Not %100 certain though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rayporsche:
There is an updated (Iphone Theme 5.2) version that works with the new gingerbread and specifically addresses that issue, that is if you are using the best iphone theme out there which is built by 'iLstone' and found in the 'released themes' area of the MiuiDevelopers forum....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
I had the same issue with another theme and I just disabled a few of its elements and kept the ones I wanted and it works fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
I feel the same way.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] giantcrazy:
Is there any way to disable the icon view of widgets and go to a list? The names of the widgets are getting truncated after only a few characters, and picking out the ones I want is really cumbersome.

Other than that, it's been pretty solid.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
I sure wish so, having the beautiful widgets like that makes it hard to find the one you want!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GRZLA:
There are sets of dots beside or under the name that show you how much space they take up. That has always helped me with fancy widget pro.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] giantcrazy:
Yeah, I figured out that much but I have widgets that vary with different options with the same size, so it's impossible to know which is which without loading several onto a page sometimes.

Really odd that they wouldn't include a way to list as well as see icons. I'm pretty happy with the rest of the ROM, but that's one nagging flaw IMO.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
Exactly.

I attached a screenshot of the Beautiful Widgets example. I dont know what each says in its entirety.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] sf11035:
what are you talking about? the OP was just updated a week ago.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GRZLA:
MIUI gets weekly updates usually on the weekends.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Caligirl2828:
Usually when you click and hold, you are able too read on the header what the widget is:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
Ah, yes, that does work. Thanks!

MIUI ROM 1.5.6 is up
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
Yep, it's downloading REALLY slowly.

Here's the link to the MIUI.us forum that has the link. They request not posting direct download links.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
Downloading now... anyone flash it yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
READ FIRST

Comes from miui.us

"This is Flash over. If you do not flashover your theme upon boot will look awful. Plus there will be no changing the theme because thememanager will fc upon apply. If you flash over you should have not have issues. I promised you guys a friday release and against my better judgement {because of no having the option to full wipe if you want} I am going to release tonight. There should be a fix for this issue as soon as Wowthatisrandom, Warttack or N_I_X gets a chance too look at it. Also there is a chance there may be a 1.5.7 released from China tomorrow. Also if you have a issue with making or receiving calls it is your theme, try applying a different theme it will fix problem. "
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GRZLA:
I read that and it seems a little odd. In MIUI we don't flash themes we apply them via theme manager. So if I have a theme set up it will basically **** up the rom? Would it be advised for people to set the default theme via theme manager before flashing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
What they are saying is if you want your theme on this update you need to apply it on 1.4.29 then flash the rom without wiping data, but wipe cache and dalvik. This also means you have to come from a previous miui and can not come from a different rom.

And if you apply a theme after flashing the update it will fc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
I think they're only advising this because this is a flashover, not a full rom. They're just taking precautions so that it doesn't break everything else up on your phone.

With that said, I flashed and it seems good so far :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
I dont get what they are trying to say the file size of the rom is pretty big so it has to be a full rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
Not necessarily true. Size does not equal completeness of the rom (though I know what you're saying). But like they said, they were trying to push it out tonight, so it's not 100% complete.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
Alright time to setup 3 roms tonight......Warm z with my customization....miui 1.5.6......Mytouch 4g rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GRZLA:
I was excited to test gtalks video chatting. In my test from my laptop I could send my phones video. I could not send my laptops webcam to my phone though. I guess it is in beta for a reason.

Still a pretty solid release. Hoping 1.5.7 brings more stability to gtalk.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
MIUI ROM 1.5.6.1 posted. Bug free.

Can't hear anything in calls,rm either can the other person.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
are you using the dark theme?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Epicardium:
I believe this is usually caused by a theme. If you applied a theme, try going back to stock theme and see if it works.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Epicardium:
If only it were truly "bug free". I guess the devs don't consider the inability to receive video mms a bug. That alone keeps me from using an otherwise solid ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GRZLA:
For some reason when I plug into my PC with miui it only charges. Even tried changing it in setting with no effect. Halp?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Smokeey:
I can recieve Video MMS, worked fine earlier. Also, I fixed my problem with the dialer. It was a theme. :/

[Droid Incredible Android Development] zerocool79346:
I'm curious as to what kernel ya'll are running, I've been on chad's latest since I flashed to 1.4.30 and I was on the Froyo version while on 2.2 MIUI, but my battery life has taken a kick in the nuts. Could just be the ROM, but even on Sense kernels I could go 24 hours easy on low usage, it seems like I can't do better than 15 since I switched to GB MIUI. Anybody have any better luck with another kernel other than Chad's?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Thoss:
The stock kernel yields the best battery life for me. Performance wise I'm a fan of Chad's.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zerocool79346:
I'll give the stock one a shot when I jump up to 5.6
[Droid Incredible Android Development] packerjd04:
Is there any chance we will see the vibrate toggle like we had in 1.3.5? I really miss that toggle, and am still confused as to why they would take it out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
I'm running invisiblek's kernel and it gives me amazing battery life and performance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chris98891:
After this most recent update, I'm about ready to jump ship. Each update is a leap backwards for me. here is my post from the other miui thread

1. notification bar in lock screen constantly has date

2. carrier logo is permanently in notification bar when unlocked/no notifications

3. can't send sms to recipients with "-" in number/camera FC with flash

those are the last 3 most recent releases.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zerocool79346:
Yeah I just flashed this. If the battery life doesn't improve, I'll probably go back to 1.3.5. It may be Froyo, but it was way more refined than their GB launch is.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cheez99:
I gave 1.5.6.1 a try today and I really liked most everything I saw after installing the official dark theme. But the ROM feels unfinished or something. Wireless carrier keeps showing in the notification bar. The battery icon, wifi, and signal icons don't match each other. The scrolling is extremely choppy compared to CM7. Otherwise, I really like the clean lines and beautiful UI after making it look less iphone with the dark theme.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rayporsche:
Well in all fairness and because opinions vary...............I've always kept a backup @ the sd-card of the Miui 1.2.25 which imo it was one of most stable versions released, again very stable and everything worked pretty much flaulessly. Now last week I installed the latest 1.5.6 and I am actually experiencing the same outcome again, not one f/c, stable, fast and everything that I use just works !!!! sometimes when I read the threads I wonder if the people followed the installation procedures properly and whatnot. Again in my case this 1.5.6 is been solid without any issues ! no 1.2.25 backup needed at all......

P.D. Two things that I never use and not because I have to but as a matter of choice; never use the Carrier's Voicemail, I prefer Google Voice big time and the camera, I've always used the app 'Camera ZOOM FX' from the market so I don't have any issues there....just saying....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] past_pluto:
Only problem I have is the battery info page forces closes when you try tl see all the graphs. Only does it after 6 hours though and doesn't do it every time. Still sucks though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jwm1986:
Only part that is really bothering me is the contacts thing... I changed all mine to a ###.###.#### format but that didn't seem to change anything. I can still do sms/mms but it won't show the name properly for some people (some work some don't).

Oh and if you use the "Notes" app (not the one that comes with it, "Notes" from the market) it will not restore with your notes for some reason. This is the only ROM that has done that one to me. I had to email myself a copy of all of them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Marcismo55:
I've had very good results with 1.5.6 as well. My only gripes are the FC's with Google Voice (which I think is attributed to the 2.3.4) and the Contacts issue. Besides those two, this ROM is running great.

The menu scrolling has BEEN choppy every since the update to GB. I'm sure once the UI updates and bug fixes have been taken care of, the Chinese Devs will focus more on optimizations and fix the menu scrolling.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
Im really liking MIUI except the last 2 days I will call someone and it rings once then just stops. I get an email from that person that I am calling immediately after and they say "can't hear you on the phone" - I didn't even know the call went through.

CM7 gives me zero issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
Known issue with dark theme. Solution is to turn on third party access in call settings.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
Wow, thanks. I was thinking this was just an isolated incident.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Caligirl2828:
Have you tried the genesis experiment theme? I think it looks pretty slick!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Caligirl2828:
You can remove carrier logo w/a program (ccn), developed by someone from this community I believe. As far as the sms issues go, I haven't had that problem, I personally use google voice for my texts. I did test it though, I opened my sms app, click to add a recipient, added a number that had "-" and the persons name popped up in the sms recipient box.

Request Help with MIUI Updates

I had tried MIUI and liked it. Last couple/few weeks I've been on CM7. I read about the new updates on this thread and wanted to try it.

I flashed my nan of MIUI 1.4.29 (I don't think I ever flashed 1-4-30 although I read it will still report itself as 1-4-29 after a flash upgrade). I went to the MIUI-US site page and saw the 1.5.6.1 link. It had the usual instructions telling me I did not have to do any wiping coming from a previous GB install.

After I flashed and updated all my apps I went to check out the bug report thread. I was immediately confronted with the disclaimer saying that no post would be responded to by anyone who not installed 1.5.6.1 without a complete wipe. Evidently these instructions were posted somewhere and I was supposed to know about it. Odd because the instruction directly above the dl link say no wiping is necessary. I also think I read that wipe is not necessary with 1.5.6 but I could not find a link to it or even 1.4.30

Then I found out about the BV force close issue and read it was being worked on by the devs.

At that point I was rather annoyed and confused so I flashed back to CM7. I like MIUI but this was frustrating. I didn't even know there were any updates over the last couple weeks. I was still going to the old site. I knew there was some problem amongst the devs there and people were leaving and/or being banned. I thought the work had been interrupted. I only found out about the new site and the updates because I was subscribed to this thread and received an email.

I would like to try a MIUI update again. I don't want to do a complete wipe. Can anyone straighten me out on which updates need what wiping and perhaps provide links to the updates? Of course if I can just flash 1.5.6.1 over 1.4.29 (or is it 1.4.30?) I don't need a link.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Thoss:
My flashing ritual (that I got from a post on MIUI-dev is as follows:

1. Titanium Backup (just in case)

1b. If you have edited a theme go into theme manager and backup your custom theme.

2. Go into MIUI Backup, backup system settings (omit contacts if you use google contacts)

3. Still in MIUI Backup, backup apps

4. Reboot to recovery, nandroid (just in case)

5. Flash the 2.whatever clockwork

6. Flash Cauklin's format all (twice cause I'm paranoid)

7. Reboot recovery, flash the new MIUI, then kernel if you want something other than stock

8. Reboot phone

9. Go into MIUI backup and restore apps first, then system settings

9b. Go into theme manager and restore your theme

This method has worked great for me. The only downside is you will have to redo some small stuff like notifications/ringtones and possibly theme related stuff if you didn't backup your custom theme.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Caligirl2828:
I flashed 1.5.6 from 1.4.29 no wipe at all, straight flash over. I think I read reports that ppl had issues with GV because they did a full wipe as opposed to a flash over.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Caligirl- I had the GV issue after I flashed over 1.4.29 with no wipes. I read that it is an issue with GB and the rom and should/will/might be fixed in the next release.

So, did you flash 1.5.6 or 1.5.6.1? I think it is 1.5.6.1 that the full wipe is being recommended for. That said I flashed 1.5.6.1 over w/o wipes and it seemed fine for the short time I had it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Caligirl2828:
I flashed over with 1.5.6, I'm going stay with it for awhile, haven't had any huge issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
I only see the link to 1.5.6.1 on the download page. Do happen to have a link for 1.5.6? Anyone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dabomb697:
I think that they are the same.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
1.5.6 is not the full ROM it's was put out early and it's only to flash over from the previous version of MIUI. 1.5.6.1 is the full ROM.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
After 1.5.6.1 came out they just replaced the links but kept the zip name 1.5.6 because that is what the MIUI build is on right now, but for the forums it is 1.5.6.1.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Caligirl2828:
I dont't have the link to 1.5.6 but I noticed mine is 96.4mb not sure what the file size is for 1.5.6.1 though
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
So it seems like no one else is having this issue, but I thought I'd ask: why when I try to send a mms do i get the error message of "no valid recipient selected"?

1.5.6.1 is 89.9 MB for those wondering. It fixes a Theme Manger issue per miui.us
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Marcismo55:
This is a known issue with contacts. It seems that contacts that have dashes in the phone number (xxx-xxx-xxxx) are yielding this contact error. A temporary fix is to log into ur gmail acct. on a PC and change ur contacts to have no dashes in the phone #.

Or u can just do as I did and update those people I most contact daily and wait for the this weeks build which most likely fix the contqcts issue and GV FC's. GV has has already been confirmed for this weeks release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dabomb697:
It also looks like it fixes the Google voice issues. I was getting crazy fc's before I flashed over.

They are back so nevermind
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
I just downloaded from the link for 1.5.6.1. The downloaded file is miui.us_Incredible_1.5.6_deodexed_2.3 The file size is 89.8 mb.

I wish they would be more accurate with the file names/instructions/changelogs.

Here is a response I see in the 1.5.6 bug report thread:

"I am assuming that you full wiped? The nor any of my tester's experienced that on a flash over! If you full wiped shame on you because I know you were in IRC when I mentioned this is not a full wipe release. In the case that you flashed over and had this problem well that would be the first I have heard of it. "

I read this after reading that I should full wipe 1.5.6. On the dl page for 1.5.6.1 it says not to wipe anything. Of course the file you get is for 1.5.6. So is there a full wipe version or not and which is which and where? How is one supposed to know? Are just out of luck in you don't happen to be in the chat?

I found a thread with the "newest" changelog dated 4/30 and it is for "ROM base 2.3.4. What is that? Is 2.3.4 the Chinese version numbering? If so why isn't the US ROM number included with the changelog?

My current MIUI system says it is 1.4.29. I may have flashed to 1.4.30 (I don't recall and have been on CM7) but apparently even if you flash over to 1.4.30 it still reports as 1.4.29. So I can't even tell what I have installed.

I like MIUI but I don't like all this confusion.

If you are coming from any miui gingerbread release to a newer version you don't have to do anything but flash it. It clears cache and dalvik automatically.

tl;dr. JUST FLASH IT!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
That's what I always thought until looked through the forum threads regarding 1.5.6

[/QUOTE]tl;dr. JUST FLASH IT![/QUOTE]

Ha! sage advise and what I will do. I might wait a couple days for the next release though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Taebom:
Ok so 1.5.6 was ported over to the inc early cuz of demand. That build was called 1.5.6 and was only to flash over from a previous MIUI. The full rom was ported to the dinc the next day and was named 1.5.6.1. All dl links have been changed to reflect this, but the number of the build is still 1.5.6. The flash over rom was only up for less than 24 hours and support would not be given if you did not flash over from a previous MIUI build because it was simply a flash over.

The flash over file size was about 93mb and the current build is about 89mb. This is the way to know what build you are getting.

On 1.5.6.1 you can do a full wipe, flash over from previous MIUI, or whatever you would like to do as it is the full ROM and not just a flashover.

Here is the changelog for 1.5.6
