+ 1! Best rom I have flashed :) I had to adjust at first without some sense UI things, but now I don't why I ever liked it... Sense is so boring in appearance, even 3.0 with the skins. The widgets are its only advantage in my opinion.

Look forward to future updates XJ :)

Chinese IME on XJ MIUI ROM?

britfag here, living in China.

I used Leedroid ROM before this, but I took the plunge with MIUI a couple of days ago. However, I've been massively disappointed to discover (I downloaded the MIUI ROM and language pack from miui-dev.com) that for a ROM developed by Chinese developers,

The english version has the Chinese IME / touch input removed. I know it's an AOSP ROM, so I can't expect to get the HTC touch input as standard, but it also comes with the ****ty standard android keyboard.

Is XJ any different? If I install the this version of the ROM, (the ZH - EN) version, does it come with a way to cleanly swap between pinyin / english input?

I regulary use chinese on my phone, and living in China, this is kind of a deal breaker for me and MIUI. Nice interface, but still at BETA level. (well the version from miui-dev.com anyway).

Should I ask in the Q+A section? I thought all you MIUI folk would hang out here, so this would be the best place.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
The original keyboard is there my friend.

I just add the htc keyboard. Gb kb and the weather. Moved to values zh and add english. You can still switch to chinese if you want.
[Desire Android Development] geejayoh:
Unfortunately, I don't mean switch the UI language.

I mean I want to switch the language for the input IME.

For example, in Leedroid (sense ROMS), I can set it up so a single keypress means when I am typing messages:

English -> chinese pinyin -> chinese handwriting -> english -> and so on.

All just by pressing a button to switch languages on the keyboard. Is this possible. I hate the stock android keyboard.

Is this possible in XJ?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
I dont know how to do that but what i mean is i did not remove anything in the chinese rom so if it is in the chinese rom it is here
[Desire Android Development] simonthor:
Can't download from qdrive :/

Would it be possible for you to upload it somewhere else?

Edit: Downloading now. Made an account and searched for "miui" :)
[Desire Android Development] geejayoh:
You must have used a Sense ROM on the original phone? next to the space bar with the microphone icon, it says "EN", if you have multiple languages set up.

If you press it, it switches between input languages. But even with the HTC keyboard installed in MIUI, you seem to have removed the option to have Chinese as an input. How is this possible? It's a Chinese ROM!
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
I said before that i never removed anything from the one downloaded in the chinese site. I will say it again. I never remove anything.

Did you see where i am from. i am from singpore and my friends and fiance is chinese. If i remove anything i will be killed. Its just deodexed.

That one you just describe is pinying lang in keyboard readily avialable in forum which is flashable.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
I will upload in fanboys when i get home

did a full wipe having problems with GPS not finding a fix at all
[Desire Android Development] twics:
I had similar issue as that with 1.4.22 where it found signal but took ages to find a location lock, the last two updates GPS is a little faster but imo not as fast as it should be specially if it found a signal.
[Desire Android Development] denial86:
No I got the same problem. Pretty bad lag in settings and when a folder contains a lot of apps, scrolling is slow and stutters a lot. Great ROM nevertheless...
[Desire Android Development] cury4love:
hi

thank you

Hi XJ & All,

I installed yesterday MIUI XJ D2EXT X-PART 1.5.6 - 2.3.4 GS 3P FINAL, ROM that is really fantastic!

I know my question is NOOB but please excuse because I used before sense/HD ROM. Please help me answer the following (I tried to look on this thread but did not find any answer):

a) How can I find the apps MArket? I want to download some apps etc...

b) Do I need to flash any other important or recommended updates?

Many thanks in advance!

EDITED:

Please do not bother for question letter A because when I made the reboot n Markets appears...:-)
[Desire Android Development] :
Same for me !

After some reboot the apps market appear !
[Desire Android Development] groove84:
no thats actually the final version, u maybe need a language pack, thats it.

CM Updater N1 or DS?

Hi,

Just installed MIUI for the first time yesterday and now I want to install the CM updater as well.

This seems to come in two versions: N1 and DS. What's the difference and which one should I choose?

What is N1 and DS anyway?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
You dont have to reboot, just kill the launcher data,

anyways, most of questions are in the FAQs section
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
What N1 and DS? i only have CM Updater Mod in the OP, two downloads but those are specifically modded and default server is MIUI XJ config.

V1 (blank) and V2

and i may upload V3 in the coming weeks
[Desire Android Development] xepap:
Sorry I completely misread your post. Got it now :-) Thanks for a great ROM.
[Desire Android Development] xepap:
Why is GPS activated after startup?

As the headline says: my GPS is running after phone is booted. Why?

I want it enabled but but not actively running unless I startup Maps or something similar.

Any suggestions?

Otherwise I must say I really love this ROM :) It looks so great.
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
It will only show if an app is using it. Use Spare Parts to check your battery history and see which app has been using GPS since you last booted.

EDIT: Another app, AutoStarts, will show you what apps are running after startup and you can choose to kill those you don't want starting up.
[Desire Android Development] swisswizz:
Thanks Wheezy for an extremely useful roundup! Two questions:

I have had trouble with my nand restores hanging up on reboot. I use AmonRa like you. I don't like Clockwork much, but this is one problem it never gave me. Any thoughts?

Also is there any way you can restore widgets to where they were before you did the wipe?
[Desire Android Development] Harthouse:
Problem with contacts / sms

Have strange and disturbing problem, spotted today... When receiving a call from some contact from the list, can't see his name, only the number, no matter if have it saved on the contacts list !!! Also, if I want to send text message, I'm getting error "Your message has no valid recipients" !!! What the hell is going on with my phone ??? :confused:

Anyone can help me, please ?! :eek:
[Desire Android Development] techtechnique:
Look about 6 pages back and all will become clear! :-)
[Desire Android Development] +BroNNoS+:
No, he is not. I have it since we went to GB. Scrolling in settings is laggy. But I do not care enough to be bothered by it. But it really was a lot smoother for me pre GB.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
you can use the miui backup to backup the desktop and see if it will restore the widgets too

i wonder what rom type you have installed and what sdcard you guys have too? x-part?
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Yes iv now experience this too, only if iv got a folder with a lot of apps in it open on home screen and try to scroll past it I get very bad lag, so just close the folder. :-)
[Desire Android Development] skp3c0:
since froyo times, ive installed all three types on 2 different kinds of SD card (class 4, class 6), with two different radios (.27, .14), and with all kinds of kernels (from stock to ManU) and scrolling has been still laggy so i dont know where is my problem... not sure bout other guys config though...

PS: setting up windows transitions to fast in spare parts helps a bit...
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Lag:

It seems there is a lot of lag if you have a folder containing about sixteen apps and you open the folder and select an app, the app takes ages to open sometime even Fc, but if I take the app out of the folder to home screen then it opens as normal which is how I usually have my apps anyway, I never came across lag until trying this.

Edit, I removed some apps from the folder now have ten in there and smoothness came back a bit, uummm weird one, looks like its related to folders, I'm going back to my lag free setup.
[Desire Android Development] groove84:
really helped for me
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Can anyone explain to me the different settings in "display settings -> advanced" and what they do?

I'm trying to figure them out, but all the settings get too technical for me :)

So if anyone who know about their meaning could explain them one by one, it would be really nice!

It's because i want to translate them properly, as for now, the translation i made is more or less direct, which gives me a google translate feeling = pretty bad.. It's hard to translate stuff which you don't know the exact meaning of the context of, hehe!
[Desire Android Development] r47z:
The advance settings for display is where you can customize how bright or dim the screen/hard buttons to be based of the "lux" value or in layman the brightness of the environment. This is the same for cynagenmod. You can do a Google on it and learn more about it.
[Desire Android Development] r47z:
Hi XJ, maybe you want to put a link to my theme to the main page? This is part of the dark miui theme will I have modded with blue framework stuff as well as some fixes to the usability

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049780
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Sure no problem mate
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Stay away from anything not compatible with 1.2.19 and 1.2.25 versions of framework, reboot menus and themes. Other than that, choose what you please in market.

I will try to give "WHAT CHANGE Update" for MIUI XJ users, we dont really need to flash the deodexed rom everytime, now that MIUI is stable and changes are not that big. It hit me while making the deodexing and translation of this rom.
[Desire Android Development] negative13:
Ok, thanks! :D

Wow you know Filipino. :D

Another question, is it normal that battery stats show that 70% is being used by display?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
IT is normal if it is always on.

What you have to look into is the Power Consumption (uAh), if it consumes higher than normal then its bad

i never turned on that Battery Monitor because even the chinese site recommends it off for better batt life. yourself can tell it by how much power it sucks while monitoring apps
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
A n00b question (sorry in advance):

How to start an application in MIUI? Installed Titanium Backup, now I figured out I cannot find a way to start it. Sorry for my stupidity.

i have fat32+ext4+swap so do i need patch_2partitions_update_v201101290124_signed.zip for 1.2.25?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Took me forever to search this post, LOL. :D

I want you to know that i have addressed our issue by doing this, redownload update 3 of 1.2.25
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
No need, If you want you can, It just bypass the 3rd partition that is why it is needed for the users with only two partitions.

So no need, i am not flashing it FAT32 + 1GB EXT + 100MB SWAP
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
it says 1.2.19 t0 1.2.25 update3, if i flash only 1.2.25 (the whole rom not the updaters), do i need to flash this also?

by the way, wifi is much much better :D:D:D
[Desire Android Development] Bartyzel:
Aaaa! Do you want to cure me off ORD by infecting OUD? :P
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Yes you have to flash this also, i already updated the OP, thanks for that.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
LOL, i just happen to browse left behind post and decided it's time to settle those. Anyways we just have to flash few files, no wipe. ha ha ha

Update is less, Rom Flash has side effects and complications
[Desire Android Development] cyberkamote:
Unfortunately for me this didnt work. All my SMS are just pending and not sending at all. Voice calls are ok.

I even got "pending" status for even a 3 digit number (mobile prepaid balance inquiry via SMS here in our country are 3 digit numbers, thus, no dash "-")..

i restarted my phone a dozen times.

updated my radio: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

changed SIM cards to another one of our carriers (just to see if the issue is carrier dependent)..

still i got those nasty pending status on my SMS..

so no SMS for me...this happened just recently, iv been using this ROM for months without any problems, until the recent version..1.5.6 X Part..

:(

UPDATE: I was able to send after downlaoding handcent....why? i dont have a single clue... :( im gonna use Handcent for now, it looks fancy anyway..
[Desire Android Development] pawel.mrk:
xavierjohn22,

except x-part, are there any other differences between your rom and the one from miuiandroid.com?

Hi,

have you tried this:

Problems installing large apps via market have no FEAR the fix is here!

Open your favorite terminal app (i use irssi connectbot)

create a folder on your SD card where you want to store your large download cache.

then

(to get root access) approve any super user requests.

then change to the cache directory with the following

now backup the current download cache with the following command:

now create the symlink to your previously created folder:

Confirm the symlink being present and have the right access rights.

Now try and install the apps via market again and it should now be working.

Taken from:

miuiandroid.com

Cheers,

Migrating from LeeDrOid to MIUI. Few questions/doubts.

Planning to migrate to MIUI from LeeDrOid and here are few of my questions:

a. I have a 16 GB SD card with 1 GB ext and the rest FAT32. So, if I plan to install the A2SD version of MIUI do I simply copy the ROM - MIUI XJ A2SD/A2SD+ 1.5.6 - 2.3.4 FINAL (.zip file - approx. 80 MB) to the SD card, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache etc and flash the ROM? I need to do a full wipe from recovery, is that right?

OR

b. Do I have to reformat the SD card with ext3 and FAT32 partitions? Also is SWAP a must, perchance??

c. Any other precautions to take prior to flashing the ROM, apart from nandroid and titanium?

Does A2SD+ get activated by default OR do I have to follow the instructions from "ACTIVATING A2SD+" section in page 1?

P.S I already have the '32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08' radio

P.S Excuse my ignorance, if any in asking the above questions.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] CreativeClub:
Do 'A' :D

But the 1 GB has to be EXT 3.

c. -> none that I know off (just back up everything and your nand, as you stated in your post)

How do I install from CM Updater ?

Have installed it but no updates found..

Should i just download OTA_MIUI_XJ_1.5.6_TO_1.5.13_EN_ZH_Upgrader_A2SD_ONLY

from htcfanboys.com and flash it like normal from recovery ?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
My ROM is stock which i get here

http://www.miui.com/download.html

i believe all of us doing this get from same source.

I have tried doing xpart and d2w fro miui-dev before and our roms are both stocks

thanks for that buddy, appreciate it!
[Desire Android Development] CreativeClub:
If you have A2SD, Download the OTA_MIUI_XJ_1.5.6_TO_1.5.13_EN_ZH_Upgrader_A2SD_ONLY.

Put it on your SD-card, flash from recovery.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Successfully upgraded X-PART from 1.5.6 to 1.5.13 with OTA upgrader.

Is that all?

Any other inputs from others?

ok cool.....but can some1 tell me, why can't I download complete MIUI XJ A2SD/A2SD+ 1.5.13 - 2.3.4 FINAL ROM from HTCfanboys.com??? just 66MB instead of 85,6MB?

am I blond?
[Desire Android Development] skp3c0:
there is problem with downloadin from fanboys sometime... use the multiupload link on fanboys page instead(located below info)...
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
why not use multi upload mirror below the download?
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Nah, you should be good to go where flashing is concerned once you do a full wipe as you've already said.

One thing to note though: you probably already know not to restore system settings from Titanium, but be careful about restoring all your user apps too. I've found that many problems in switching to a new ROM can be prevented by reinstalling apps or restoring selectively rather than full restores. It's a pain, I know, but it's one way to ensure the most trouble-free transition.

Once you've got MIUI up and running make sure all the basic ROM functions work properly before you do anything else.
[Desire Android Development] rawdealer:
I didn't know :) downloading now :)
[Desire Android Development] syncopy:
Thanks!

I am doing a titanium backup just in case I plan to restore back to Leedroid. Otherwise, no plans of restoring the same.

Could you elaborate on "basic ROM functions work properly"?

Also is there a way to export contacts from Leedroid to MIUI?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
sync to gmail using leedroid, then when in miui do not restore contacts using titanium, sync to gmail when in miui

Good night folks
