[Desire Android Development] rakludnet:
Hi,

First of all Thanks to XJ and MIUI

I downloaded a2sd 2.3 version and rebooted, fine. Later I downloaded terminal emulator and did a2sd thing. Then started FC of HTC_IME every second.Whats happening?
[Desire Android Development] gafi:
Happened to me also. Used Titanium backup and uninstalled HTC_IME.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Sorry guys i was out, LOL, the connection i have is 385kbps to upload the a2sd, can someone provide mirrors for a while
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Sorry about that, i was supposed to remove that htc ime keyboard.

Anyways uninstall it for a while
[Desire Android Development] gafi:
Never mind...great work man!
[Desire Android Development] rakludnet:
@gafi..Thanks will try to do that later

meanwhile I restored my old rom :(
[Desire Android Development] rakludnet:

Nice, just seen the new gingerbread.has been uploaded. When will the xpart be available to download?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
i am uploading the unstable version now, bug is setting up takes a while, force close on fc notice while setting up, checking up sd card takes a while, atroy and i have the same bug, will look at it tomorrow.

anyways, you can try it, might be in an hour, my upload here s*cks
[Desire Android Development] vipinlahoti:
First time im on MIUI, its gr8 u have changed every thing XJ, thnx fr a gud ROM.

but after the successful flashing my desire wont boot it hangs on "why so serious screen".

how to fix it?
[Desire Android Development] memphisuklf:
ok, no problem. Will try the a2sd version for now until the bugs are sorted out. Keep up the good work:)
[Desire Android Development] ukanth:
Probably, not full wiped, Just full wipe cache/data/dalvik/sdext and then try.
[Desire Android Development] 123xdagsm:
Hi XJ

why remove the MIUI Digital clock weather app

DSP Manager, Torch and Notes?
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Works on other devices?

Does this (both the "old" 2.2 and new 2.3) MIUI work on Desire Z?
[Desire Android Development] vipinlahoti:
Full Wiped then installed got

E:Corrupted files:System/lib/libwebcore.so,

E:Verification Failed.

Then toggled Sig off,

Again Full wiped, Installed.

then hanged on "why so serious screen":(
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
When u wipe the /data partition, that is usually called full wipe :D

But shouldn't really required..but is higly recommended

To make a clean install, we should also format the sd card i think, in particular the miui folders
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
i did not remove dsp manager, torch and notes ( i mentioned it was added from previous builds), or what i have written is misleading?

i remove the MIUI digital weather clock because i was the one who put that in, in the first place during 2.2, now it is 2.3 so i used the lg optimus weather and digital clock
[Desire Android Development] pvillasuso:
Hi guys , I flashed latest XJ 2.3 Miui , everything fine , super smooth ~ fast !!!

Guys im Hanged on boot screen:( any solution plzz
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Boot screen takes a while, i have already flashed this rom 5 times already until now.

i did full dipe everytime, i use amonra 2.0.1 recovery,

my partition is fat32, 1gbext3, 300mb swap for additional info

i dont have any n1 table
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
you will have to port it i guess, have no desire z, they maybe some differences, hardware, kernel needs, etc
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
you need to make sure you have APN configure if it does not automatically has it, in settings, apn, see if your apn is configured properly
[Desire Android Development] vipinlahoti:
I too have no Table, No ext, no swap.

do i need them?
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
hi xj,

do we have to enter command for app2sd? by the way, i tried to download the file 2 times and it stops 2 times at 80mb and at 90mb.
[Desire Android Development] ukanth:
Which version of MIUI XJ version you flashed ? if A2SD+ then you need one Ext partition
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
yes you can still use the commands, yes you need an EXT partition to use a2sd

there are some mirrors provided by joplayer in the comments of the rom download, HTC Fanboys

and also i am uploading in Mediafire + HTC fanboys for the rom with HTC ime keyboard removed
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Ok, found a miui port for desire z ;)

Hey btw, are there alot of new translations to be done in the new 2.3 version?
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
thank you...waiting to download data2ext stable one tomorrow ;) good job so far :)
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
LOL, yeah, framework has change, setting has change, systemui new, they added some 3 to 10 liner strings for some apks.

i'll post later, this is the first release so bug fixing will be the coming weeks, no rush ha ha
[Desire Android Development] vipinlahoti:

[Desire Android Development] maxiv:
When flashing XJ 2.3 A2SD, does A2SD instantly work or do i need to download the terminal emulator and type some stuff in it? What exactly are the commands?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
the commands are in post# 4
[Desire Android Development] redsuns:
hey thanks for the amazing rom.

[Android Apps and Games] MarkCohen:
I'm looking to do a blogpost for my site on the best alternative home screen apps. Now, what I mean by that is not things like aHome and LauncherPro, which just tweak and enhance the Android homescreen experience.

I'm looking more for totally different experiences. I already know about SlideScreen and *Spark. Any others?

Thanks a bunch!
[Android Apps and Games] Calico5:
Im using Go Launcher right now... coming from Launcher Pro Plus and ADW Launcher EX!
[Android Apps and Games] xheavymetaldadx:
Net front screens is one though a bit laggy sometimes its a brilliant concept
[Android Apps and Games] xheavymetaldadx:
Sorry for double post but I just remembered faded home and metro Ui
[Android Apps and Games] Madnessx9:
i started using Go Launcher EX as of yesterday... love it
[Android Apps and Games] syrenz:
Heh, I was just going to suggest metro UI and Net front as well :p. Just discovered net front yesterday, really cool, but a bit too laggy to use on a consistent basis. Hope they improve sometime. Their browser app is fantastic though.

Hoping SPB UI comes for android some time soon, that's really unique:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROca7ao-Tqw
[Android Apps and Games] MarkCohen:
Ok, just on a personal level... THANK YOU for MetroUI!!!! I've been looking for this! Keep the suggestions coming!
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
SweeterHome ( http://www.sweeterhome.com/ )

I've used SweeterHome for months, nothing else even comes close. It's the most customizable one out there, although it's still in Beta. The only downsides are that it takes some experimenting to find what's possible, and since it's not on the market you have to install the APK manually.

All the screenshots on the homepage are designs users have made. They're done through touch-and-drag on the phone itself, there's no language or anything you have to learn to set it up.
[Android Apps and Games] MarkCohen:
Gonna bump this. Just need a few more.
[Android Apps and Games] cheskote:
Zeam Launcher. Aims to be small and light, but has lots of features.

[Android Apps and Games] ogami_ito:
So... are things like ADW and LauncherPro count as alternative home screen replacements? I'm not sure I'm getting this.
[Android Apps and Games] vibranze:
Using Launcher Pro Plus at the moment. Tried Go Launcher Ex, but I missed the Launcher Pro FB/Calendar widget which Go Launcher Ex or any other launcher didn't provide.

Let me know if you do know other launcher that have FB/Calendar/Twitter widgets.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] MarkCohen:
They are home screen replacements. But I was going specifically for things that are a totally different experience than what stock Android, which is what Launcher Pro, GO Launcher, etc. are.
[Android Apps and Games] OndrejP:
It synchronizes notes, tasks, contacts, and calendar with Microsoft Outlook 2007 or greater (for Android 2.2 or greater) and also files and directories via WiFi.

Android market link

Android application consists of:

Notes application

Tasks application

Application for managing categories

Task widget 4x1

Task widget 2x2

Sync facilities and configuration screens

This software development is now forked in 2 versions - 2.x and 3.x. 3.x version (tablets) has modified UI - holographic theme. It is multi apk, so correct version is automatically downloaded from Android Market.

This application is real freeware - i.e. is free of charge and without advertising.

Send me please as private message what device and what ROM are you using and if it works or not, I will update list here, thanks.

Q: is there a Due Today fildter (overdue + due today)?

A: Will do

Q: Can I filter by category?

A: No, maybe will do.

Q: Can I sync calendar in a specific date frame only (now it syncs all calendar items) ?

A: No

Q: Can I not sync completed tasks?

A: No, similar features were present millions years ago when devices had limited memory, I want to have everything in phone. You can move those tasks to different folder/archive in Outlook now.

Q: Contacts don't show after sync.

A: What phone, you must enable Local Sync account in Contacts application (open Contacts, Menu, Display options, check Local Sync All Contacts) - btw it is described in "manual"

Could this thread be moved to different forum where new users can post?
[Android Apps and Games] Demeurg:
Hi Ondřej,

Thanks a lot for your answers. This really helped. Also do you think it may be a good enhancement if the app can sort tasks by two fields? (for example by Due Date and then by Priority)

Thanks,

Sergey
[Android Apps and Games] OndrejP:
Hi Sergey, I think it may be a good enhancement. Will do it likely.
[Android Apps and Games] moss20:
great,i love it ! does it have italian language ?
[Android Apps and Games] rhaige:
i also loved it! =)
[Android Apps and Games] OndrejP:
thanks,

unfortunatelly I do not speak Italian, so there is no Italian language. I can post language files somewhere and you can translate it for yourself.

I relased update with some of Sergey's requirements.
[Android Apps and Games] gpietron:
Wow!!

I regret I haven't found it before - testing it right now and it looks really very impressive.

I also have installed AutoSync Account Activator.

I'll be syncing Calendar and Contacts via corporate push through Email.apk (with fixed 60mA drain in no-data/flight mode) - but was missing Notes.

And it's convenient to have your Simple Note and Task apps - both are cool!

In short, your solution deserves much more publicity!! Everything seems to work OK, but some questions for explanation:

* the PC Local Sync app - does it have to be running? or is it just to provide info. Pressing X seems to kill it, but the process seem to remain active.

* BTW, I see more than 1 LocalSync.exe process, is this correct? or is it due to running again PC Local Sync after closing it with X?

* the pairing is defined by IP number. what happens if my notebook is automatically assigned another IP number on next boot - do I have to adjust the address manually? will the app know it is actually the same pairing, or will it try to define a new one (all settings again)? could it be searched by name in the local pool 192.168.x.x?

cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] OndrejP:
1. PC Local Sync app - if you shuthdown in via X it should shutddown (after while), if not it is bug - you can kill it with task manager.

2. You should not see more local sync processes, it means that something is hung (kill with task manager). Note - if you minimize app it is in tray, still running.

I will take a look at desktop application to improve this :/ It is masively multithreaded so some thread is probably hanging (however I did not have experience this much, is it WiFi or Usb sync?)

3. If computer changes IP address (you can use hostname too), you can change it by pressing button with link icon in that pair configuration - so settings will be kept.

If you delete pairing all sync data are removed indeed and you do not want that because it would have to resynchronize (can take hours if you have tens of thousands items in Outlook).
[Android Apps and Games] gpietron:
Thanks for clarifications.

re: PC LocalSync

Seems like all is good, X closes the app and also process. Minimizing puts it in tray. Just running it twice produces 2 processes ...

It seems the app does not need to run for syncing - is it just for info and monitoring? or does it have to run in order to sync items?

(If it is needed it'd be better if X just minimized it, to avoid closing by accident ...)

1 minor issue is that I have 2 Outlook profiles set up for manual selection at start-up - if I start Localsync before starting Outlook, it tries to start Outlook but your initial LocalSync logo hangs on top of the profile selection blocking it (can't be moved) :-)

re: changing IP (this is a nuisance)

I guess you mean running Localsync on my HD2, then pressing adress/machine name at the top, then second icon at the bottom, next to Save, then edit address and re-pair? still not too convenient.

Trying to use hostname I get Error: UnknownHostException: <hostname>. What am I missing? Hope we can resolve this, I'd be very happy ... :D

BTW, tested USB sync and all is well, but I would prefer to keep it as option for syncing outside my home network only, I'm constantly on Wifi at home.

cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] OndrejP:
PC application is important, it is server which exposes Outlook to android. Do not start it multiple times, it does not matter because it starts on other port, but it is not useful.

I did not test app with mutliple profiles, I will have to improve it in this area to avoid data loss (if you sync one profile, switch profile, sync then you will probably loose data).

In order to use host name, you must configure DHCP/DNS in your routers, I tried it now and it works with name then. I am using also fixed ip addresses for particular devices (where possible).
[Android Apps and Games] gpietron:
many thanks, forgot about my router config :-). I assigned a fixed IP to my notebook and all should be well - I should have automatic synchronization of my notes, tasks and files whenever I'm at home.

Outlook profiles is not a big issue for me, as the only difference between them are additional private mail accounts (which cause some problems while at work), data is the same. Still, you may make preparations for more sophisticated users...

So the only minor issues you can think of improving are:

* allow changing Outlook profiles if PC LocalSync starts before Outloook,

* make it more difficult to close PC LocalSync inadvertently (X minimizing not closing; separate Exit)

As mentioned, I'm push syncing Calendar and Contacts via Email.apk, and not using Tasks much - so can't help testing them.

But once again congratulations on very good apps - I'll be recommending them!!

One problem is the thread title is not mentioning local Outlook synchronization at all, so people might be missing it - I would say Note and Task apps (both very nice) are rather in addition ... unless you depend on Market exposure ...

thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] OndrejP:
Thanks, I updated title. The app original name was Simple Sync but I discovered that this name is trademarked so I renamed it to Local Sync. And originally it did not have so many functions as it has now.

I am syncing exchange with this (calendar) because I do not like policy pushed by Exchange.

There can be only issue with Contacts, because manufacturers are doing proprietary changes in contacts app. But it should work on base Android, Htc and Samsung.
[Android Apps and Games] sshark:
How do you set up power consumption for an app ro certain value? Is there an app for that?
[Android Apps and Games] gpietron:
Ondrej,

1 more issue for your investigation:

I have Tasker switching off Mobile Data/Data Sync for the night, to conserve battery. Last night going to sleep I noticed a Localsync's missed synchronization notification (failed to init) and this morning I found out my device had a famous constant drain of ca.60mA all night.

Could it be that if Mobile Data/Data Sync are switched off when your sync is initializing, the process hangs and tries to finish indefinitely causing the battery drain?? (I think I haven’t seen this the night before).

I was following a similar issue of battery drain with Email.apk and it was finally resolved here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1253583&page=1

Can you confirm the issue and look for potential solution?

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

No, I meant that Gingerbread Email.apk had an issue of ca.60mA battery drain in no connectivity mode (data off or in flight mode) - this has been resolved, see the post above.
[Android Apps and Games] OndrejP:
It cannot run while data off - only in USB mode and you would have to press Sync! button. It should not leave unreleased wake lock.But I will test it. It retries only 3 times and only for file sync, never infinite loop. system log would be helpfull in these cases.

---

I looked in it and Local Sync cannot cause battery drain, it uses wake lock only for file synchronization (and this is handled that it is always released, no infinite loops! you would see file sync icon if it would be running) and if you saw error notification it means that sync aborted with error (is not restarted automatically).
[Android Apps and Games] gpietron:
Ok, thanks for clarification, good to have this confirmed - I'll be watching it.
[Android Apps and Games] gpietron:
Confirm all was well last night, no issues.

Still, from time to time I'm getting red "Sync error - synchronization failed - init" error on my device. PC Localsync is reporting "request to abort operation - request sync files has been aborted".

Seems like just for files sync.

I tried ti re-define file sync options, but no change. On the other hand, manual Sync! 2 min. later completed OK.

Any explanation? or how can I verify more details, you mentioned logs ...

Could it be random interference from other device operations (like phone call, mail check etc.)?

cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] OndrejP:
Do not worry about error notification.

"Sync error - synchronization failed - init" means that error occured during sync start and sync was aborted - e.g. wifi connection interrupted (it happens, there is a lot of wifi nets and jamming nowadays). But it could be done later correctly but local sync does not clear error notification.

Exact reason would be visible in Android system log, there will be something like timeout exception or so.

I am testing it now at work (I have PC running and Local Sync too) and periodic sync 2 hours, several days and no issues so far - so when I come to work it syncs automatically and then each two hours. Maybe you have unquality wifi, try to use e.g. other channel.
[Android Apps and Games] gpietron:
Thanks again.

I'm very happy I found this solution :D

While Dropbox/Sugarsync are OK for casual files, there is stuff on my PC and HD2 I don't want to share in the cloud ...

This works pretty much like the good old WinMo MS Activesync ...
