At least for the Mesmerize version, I've not had any problems flashing our build via JT's CWM Red post, found Here, if that's helpful.

Honestly, I think we need a lot more in the way of features being activated to keep the ROM alive, but of course, without a big source drop that actually gives us something, the chances of that happening are slim.

I would also LOVE to get this ROM fully functional, but I'd also be cool with moving to a newer version of MIUI if that meant better success. Still, as jamezelle points out, we'd just be in the same spot if we moved to a GB-based MIUI. Even so though, if there are resources to help new developers get started jamezelle, please post them here, I'm in. :) I've got both a Windows and Linux-based dev environment set up per Phidelt82's Dev setup guide in the Mes forums, and picked up a few books on XML, Java as it applies to Android Development, and Android Development in general. I gear they're more app-oriented, but @krispuniq, I've also found that googling "android development <term>", where <term> is the specific item you're after, yields good results from the Android Development site hosted by Google.

For anyone who may be curious, I did get my hands on the 4/06 commit, but couldn't get it working; even after handing it to the Mes experts who were handling the removal of SMS padding that the Fascinate does and that the Mesmerize does not, we couldn't get SMS to work, so we're guessing at least for us, the 4/06 build just isn't going to work. Might have better luck for the Fascinate folks. *shrug*

Be it MIUI 1.3.xx or GB MIUI, I'd still love to keep this project going for the Fascinate and Mesmerize alike.
[Fascinate Android Development] krispuniq:
I tried installing this rom from the new cwm.. my phone ended up in bootloop.. I don't think this is compatible with edify cwm.

I hope to see a compatible version soon :)
[Fascinate Android Development] ChromWolf:
It's not... man, I just posted how to install it one post above. XD
[Fascinate Android Development] krispuniq:
What you have posted is a work around..to use older version of cwm 2.5.x.x which supports amend scripts... I m talking about a rom that supports edify scripts used with the latest cwm 3.x.x and up
[Fascinate Android Development] ChromWolf:
Since the CWM version I linked supports both Amend and Edify scripts to my understanding, and development for this ROM seems to have fallen by the wayside, I can't say as I see that as an inferior option. ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] jamezelle:
the script I put in V5 is edify(thats all use), you could use that with other ports if you would like. but you need the mount.sh also to mount rfs or ext4.
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
If I had the time and energy, I would like to put together some YouTube vids of everything I learned.. which isn't much, but it is enough to be a bit dangerous I guess. A lot of the regulars around here are waaaaay smarter and don't get enough credit, but I always wished there was a video tutorial on how to **** **** up.
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
Could you compile a list of helpful links? That should be enough for a motivated learner although I still lack the time unfortunately.

maybe Jamezelle i know you don't want to, but maybe you can give us a base to work off and we can see if we all can finish it off. There are some talanted people like deeznotes that if you start it off maybe they can finish.
[Fascinate Android Development] barczakmark:
This would be absolutely amazing! I'm committed to learning how to dev this summer no matter what happens. Ha! Ive been blindly git cloning all over the place ;) I think it would help a lot of individuals immensely. I could help in some way, as I'm an artist and am pretty good a video editing and such :)
[Fascinate Android Development] ChromWolf:
Another aspiring dev here---or at least, I'd like to learn how to hack up ROMs to fix things I want fixed with them. XD In the absence of a Gingerbread MIUI port, I'd LOVE to get this MIUI fully functional, should that be possible (I know all the AOSP builds are plagued by similar issues, but this one has a few specifics of its own I know I want to tackle "someday").

My dev work would focus on the Mesmerize, but since inter-device ports between the Mesmerize and the Fascinate are pretty straight-forward, I think that's still a help to all you guys as well. :) ...Well, for whatever little the offer helps, anyway. :P :)

I did pick up a Java and XML book last weekend. How much of Android, and any AOSP ROM, is specifically C though? And is it C, or C++? ....I have to admit, for an IT guy into servers and networking with no development experience, learning Java, XML, and C/C++ seems REALLY intimidating. Any pointers or advice?
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
I'm also an IT guy with knowledge in the servers and networking area - not so much in programming. What I know has been based around not learning any programming languages. :p I learned at a very early age what I was not interested in.. now it's haunting me.
[Fascinate Android Development] vgupman:
Has anyone been able to find a fix for the incoming SMS issues? For me, the notification comes through and I see the message, but when I go into the SMS app they're gone...
[Fascinate Android Development] Chuban7:
it looks like soon that we will have a fully working cm7 build are you willing to get some gingermiui going?
[Fascinate Android Development] ChromWolf:
Just curious, but where did the source for this ROM originally get ported from--the i9000 version of MIUI, or Captivate, or...?

Honestly, I'd love to see a GB version started and to be involved with it, but I realize that involves (A) learning how to port from i9000/Captivate to Fascinate/Mesmerize for me, (B) arranging for a GB kernel to be built, (C) re-fixing all the current AOSP kernel/ROM issues, to say the least; and that's not even getting into all the stuff that's not even working in CM7 which I'm sure would also plague a GB MIUI release. Which phone was the Fascinate port of CM7 brought from, speaking of which?

...Even then, I'd take a Froyo-built MIUI if it could fix the Call Volume issue as people have said, and possibly allowed a keyboard tweak and maybe a battery mod. Everything else that's broken per any AOSP I can live without (and since I have no clue what I'm doing, have nearly no chance of fixing, LOL). I DO NOT want to promise anything for those also watching for an update, but I'd love to have someone more knowledgeable than me on IRC to bug with questions while I looked at AudioManager.

It may be that NOTHING comes of it. But who knows? *shrug*
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
Initially, i think jamezelle used the MIUI nexus one builds to port from. In the last update I posted, I used the Motorola milestone to port from, because that was one of the last phone to get the latest MIUI froyo updates.

Moving forward, u think using the Captivate build would make sense... but I guess you could pick any of them - you have to fix many of the same files but I think if the phones have some hardware in common, it's possible to have less problems when porting?
[Fascinate Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
Have you tried using a third party text message app? Handcent, ChompSMS, or Go SMS all are pretty solid...

Sent from Infinite Cha0s
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
Huh? I don't think Handcent will help him develop MIUI.
[Fascinate Android Development] ChromWolf:
I think he's referring to an older post a few posts up talking about SMS issues, but it just wasn't quoted for context.
[Fascinate Android Development] filthy1:
update??

any update on getting this more functional or is this an afterthought since everyone got there "official" update....any news would be awesome I would love to see this fully functional.
[Fascinate Android Development] SciReal:
I would love to know as well! Awesome ROM. Very original for an Android ROM. Made my phone feel brand new!

Phantom ringer issue!!

Does any one of you using this MIUI ROM either the latest 04/06 version or earlier 03/19 version have this phantom ringer issue ?

I get a faint ringer which is kicked in whenever i toggle airplane mode.. ie.. whenever I get a Network information popup. Once i get this network info popup, next thing is the phantom ringer starting off and not stopping untill i use the dialer. I call myself from my dialer and tht stops the damn ringer. If i dont notice the faint ringer going on, it eats up the battery like anything !

I am attaching two logcat files here.. phantomRinger1 has the log when the phantom ringer starts off and stays on.

PhantomRinger2 logcat has the log of the scenario when the phantom ringer is set on by network info popup (i toggle airplane mode to get this popup) and then i call myself to stop the damn thing.

since i m providing log cat, i hope it should be helpful for any debug or reproduction. I am not sure if it is common among all users here, but it a bug to sort out for sure !! :D plz help guys.. is there a way to shut the damn ringer off.. either by disabling network info popups ?
[Fascinate Android Development] ChromWolf:
I've also experienced this issue. I never really included it in my reports because at the time, I was experimenting with loading phone.apk's from diffdrent ROMs to troubleshoot the low call volume, so I was using the mesmerize version of CM6's phone.apk. Hopefully that's helpful info.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
The phantom ringer is common to all aosp based roms, froyo or gingerbread, for the fascinate and even the epic.

Thanks for getting these logs. Unfortunately, these logs do not show the crashes that cause the issue. These errors can be found in the radio log. Use adb logcat -b radio to retrieve the radio logs. Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
I've had the phantom ringer only when i switch themes 0_0

I haven't switched themes since I reflashed the rom and the only time I've had it so far is when I have the ringer set to a low volume. I turn it up and its back to normal ....
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
Hey jt, I posted in your cm7 thread about the phantom ringer but I didn't get a radio log. By the way, is there a difference between the random ringing that occurs without any obvious cause and the ringing when your phone is supposed to be silenced? It's the same sound but the latter happens much more often for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] krispuniq:
Phantom Ringer Issue - Radio LOGS

Hey JT/Jamezelle

The weekend, i had some time to get radio logs for the phantom ringer that I am facing while using any AOSP ROM. The current setup i am using is MIUI 04/06 build + OTB Kernel 1.3. Nevertheless, I used to get this issue on CM7 & CM6.2 AOSP builds as well. So i guess this could be a generic issue as JT suggested.

Now for the logs:

I usually get the phantom ringer, when the network notification popup is shown on the screen. This usually occurs when we toggle airplane mode or change our location from one coverage area to another.. usually happens when i travel to work. SO at home, i toggle airplane mode to replicate the error

Log1:

Toggle Airplane Mode, I see the network popup & Then comes phantom ringer. Now i open the dialer & call my own number. Phantom ringer is off. At this point i connct to adb & pull a log

Log2:

Did the same as Log1, but no dialer. so the ringer is on

Log3

repeat logger with screen OFF

log4:

Log with Phantom RInger & Screen ON

log5:

Log with Screen ON & Phantom RInger OFF ( by dialing myself)
[Fascinate Android Development] Dj-Dubster_TN:
Sooooo...gingerbread update is official now... does that mean we can see some develpment on this now :)

Kangbanged
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Gingerbread update? Ok, what did I miss?
[Fascinate Android Development] txinstrument34:
its a phantom update...
[Fascinate Android Development] krispuniq:
Details plz ... finally the phantom ringer is silenced??
[Fascinate Android Development] ChromWolf:
No no, "phantom update" as in, it was there, and then they very quickly took it down.

Unless Dj-Dubster_TN has a link he's holding out on us with, there is no Fascinate Gingerbread official source from Samsung. Most of the Fascinate folks were even saying there won't be for months, if even ever.

That said... I am VERY slowly working on getting GB MIUI ported to Mes. From there, I imagine it would be pretty easy to port to Fascinate.

But I'm NO dev. I've never ported a ROM. I got it to boot, but pretty much nothing worked except the launcher, and it was all in Chinese. But the script flashed it. XD

If any of you watching this do ROM ports and want GB MIUI, I'd love to collaborate, for the sake of speed if nothing else. I may ping certain people by the weekend if I haven't heard anything. It's very much at the beginning stages, but I want GB MIUI too. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Chuban7:
i would reccomend going into IRC Freenode and chat with the people in #Miui-us they can really give you a hand
[Fascinate Android Development] GoogleAndroid:
Seems like Jamezelle has abandoned us for the Thunderbolt :/
[Fascinate Android Development] krispuniq:
I would like to team up with you/help you with this. I am myself a beginner but by profession an automotive ecu software developer in C !

I just installed ubuntu and the sdk packages as well. If you can give me a little insight into what i should do to get where you are now... we can take it together from there on. Hope i can be helpful to u wid this. I badly need a GB MIUI :) with or without phantom ringer ;)

thanx, worked perfectly. other than gps not working in navigation, this rom almost runs perfect. just need camera in color(view finder), video camera, and bluetooth. Already my daily rom

anyone know how to install swype on this rom??

Hmmm, I flashed back to DL09 just to see if I saw any change in signal indicator and so far I still havnt seen a bar. But im gonna take it to work where I get better signal and report back. Didnt see any change in dbm from EB01 to DL09
[Fascinate Android Development] mobilemaildf:
won't mont sd card on windows computer.

GPS and navigation work for me. The AOSP camera works in black & white, but the MIUI camera doesn't.

I get 2 bars, doesnt go up doesnt go down :P

Btw: Jamz, thanks for all the work, really looking forward for this to get fully functional:)
[Fascinate Android Development] mobilemaildf:
weird, but I have data arrows confirmed working but radio bars just stay at 4 bars. i'm at work and haven't moved but should still see some movement. phone calls are clear and internet is faster than any other rom on 3g signal
[Fascinate Android Development] mobilemaildf:
now for portable tethering and i'll be set. gps picksme up instantly but gps navigation won't work. not that big of a deal for me, but would be nice.
[Fascinate Android Development] zparlet:
hey does anyone if you are able to update roaming capabilities with this rom? *228 doesnt work. It force closes
[Fascinate Android Development] jamezelle:
try dialing *228+ Hold the 0 for + sign
[Fascinate Android Development] zparlet:
alright yeah that worked. I still have the roaming sign even after reboot. Im dont care if it is there, i just want to make sure im not roaming for real. There is no reason i should be where i am located. I get great reception here
[Fascinate Android Development] zparlet:
nevermind im not worried about it. My buddies just called and it didnt ring at all. All of a sudden i just got a missed call notification. So im flashing back my old recovery. Awesome job though! i can't wait untill it is finished!
[Fascinate Android Development] Natamos:
Coming from a stock DL30 rom, I was able to get data working after updating PRL and rebooting. I got an incoming call and was able to answer it and talk without issue. I was able to get an incoming sms as well. Definitely the smoothest rom I've used for an alpha build. Only thing that I've noticed is that my network bars show at 0, but it says I've got a signal on the phone info.
[Fascinate Android Development] itstee:
i believe thats one of the stuff that doesn't work yet.
[Fascinate Android Development] mobilemaildf:
jamzelle thanks for the rom port. won't be switching back to the droid x anymore thanks to you. waiting for the port to epic to get ext4 compatiable.

btw everybody, i'm using voodoo kernal as well if that helps on getting the data arrows working. my roaming does come on inside elevators at work. never did before though, but 3g never loses connection.
[Fascinate Android Development] jamezelle:
i fixed the roaming indicator and fully fixed data/wifi. will post an update sometime today
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
WOA... this includes voodoo? you might want to put that in the OP...
[Fascinate Android Development] jamezelle:
yea it includes voodoo but you dont have to use voodoo, its just capable of having it enabled
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
yea lol i wasn't expecting it then all the sudden my phone started talking to me
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
The issue where you can't install Angry Birds is in the current version. This was an issue on one of the other ROMs, but I can't remember which one. The work-around was to unmount your SD card and Angry Birds will successfully install.

For some reason, I can only see Angry Birds Seasons in the market and not the regular Angry Birds. Titanium Restore won't work either.

Also, Google Car Home doesn't seem to launch. This was with a version I had downloaded from XDA, because you can't install it from the Market on the Fascinate (on a stock ROM). However, I was able to download the market version running MIUI, so I'll give that a shot.
[Fascinate Android Development] Whitepaint:
Sweeeeet! Can't wait.
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
im getting 200 less quadrant now with voodoo than i was before with no voodoo :(

EDIT: nevermind i got 3 1500s in a row then just now got a 2300 :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Natamos:
For those that have incoming SMS working, are you receiving all your messages? I'm missing most of my incoming texts and only getting some in randomly.
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
how do you close running apps in miui?
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
ive been sending myself a bunch of messages from my brothers phone and i have gotten all of them, i have a suspicion though that it has something to do with wifi.
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
Long press the back button when you're in the app.

Configure this in Settings > System > Button Settings

The range is 0.5s - 2.0s

Or use an app killer/task manager.
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
Easy way to test would be disable wifi on both phones.
[Fascinate Android Development] Natamos:
I have wifi disabled on my phone and am only getting a few random incoming msges. Most of them are not going through. I'll try it out with wifi enabled.
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
Bluetooth almost fully works in v2. Pandora works fine and I can send a file to the phone from my laptop, but voice search didn't work so well.
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
I have no clue if wifi will effect sms whatsoever, just offering an easy way to eliminate that variable.
[Fascinate Android Development] hoppermi:
There is a built in task killer. Long press home similar to TW. You can't select individual apps but it will clear memory.
[Fascinate Android Development] hoppermi:
Anyone having problems USB mounting, there is a wireless PC sync that uses FTP included in the file explorer. Works great. Just type the address shown in the address bar of My Computer.
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
Ah yes, I forgot about that. Thanks.

This rom has so much useful stuff packed in its hard to keep track.
[Fascinate Android Development] Huntredgo:
Seems like the data issues are voodoo related. If you are having issues with incoming SMS or voice calls, disable voodoo.

Well done jamezelle, btw ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] mobilemaildf:
I have voodoo kernel enabled and lag fix. No problem for me
[Fascinate Android Development] adambobbyburgers:
Do you receive all of your SMS? It seems as if I only receive every other SMS, and I'm on voodoo (enabled).
[Fascinate Android Development] mobilemaildf:
I missed the first one this morning buti was on wifi. Ive received skill others. Ive used this day. Finally got the roam indicator occasionally. No video in avi format or GPS thru google maps. Everything else works fine.

All phone calls have gone thru.

3gp videos play just fine. Wishi could Port this to my moms cheap tablet

Qqplayer, rockplayer, v player, and xy player do it just fine though. Next hotspot. wishful but grateful wishing

[Fascinate Android Development] mobilemaildf:

[Fascinate Android Development] Whitepaint:
It would seem Voodoo may have something to do with a few of the bugs I was encountering as I had been on voodoo ever since installing the first MIUI release. After turning voodoo off my phone wakes up instantly from sleep when receiving a call. When on Voodoo it would take like 3-4 rings before the screen even came on. Disabling the lagfix also fixed my SD card mounting issues. I wasn't having any sms or data issues while on voodoo though.
[Fascinate Android Development] jamezelle:
fixed sms fully, sent and received from tmobile, verizon and google voice!

data/wifi/calls/sms/gps work now
