@Galnet

Why do you think it is better not to UV?

As I understand, undervolting without overclocking should result in better battery life as this is just making sgs work more efficiently.

Sent from my SGS MIUI MCGv7.6
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WiwiPouPou:
I agree, but remember Galnet isn't a MIUI dev, it tweaks it, for battery, for speed. But MIUI IS CLOSED SOURCE ! So.. battery is more or less the same in stock MIUI, your post is good but should be in MIUI forums...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cloudstripe:
This is what I don't understand. People are saying they did all they could but still having the same problem.

You said you are a dev also, finding whats wrong to a pc/phone/software should be experienced by you so many times already. You keep asking why theirs a big battery drain but have you tried all the possible solution?

I am a dev also and you wont see me complain in XDA because im having issue etc. etc. etc. I always find a way how to solve it, there's a lot of info around here if you will just search? you are a dev and you should know how to do this thing on your own right? Find a solution yourself and share it here.

I don't have any issue with MIUI since day one since I tried to flashed this. If ever I encountered any problem I would go to any sites just to find and solve it. I NEVER COMPLAIN. Use the search function, use the google for christ sake!!

Instead of complaining, help the Dev to solve the issue. When I was experiencing huge battery drain i never ask help here, I search the google. Then i found some suggested about the battery calibration app, some suggested to change the modem or kernel.. etc. etc. etc. problem fixed.

Just my 2cents

I don't know if it's known issue or not.

Whenever I flash a zip (Update patch from MIUI or a new version e.g. MIUI-MCGv7.6.zip)

And after I reboot, the battery goes to 83%.

Yesterday, I flashed MIUI-MCGv7.6.zip. Before flashing battery was fully charged. After I rebooted from recovery, battery remaining was 83%.

Today morning, battery was less than 65% and I flashed the patch. After reboot, it was 83% again.

Please take a look at battery stats if anyone can :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] navodwickra:
did u wipe the batt status after flashing
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cami sardinha:
Did you try holding down the "back button" and hitting vol up/down?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rahulrulez:
No I didn't. I always wipe /system, /cache before flashing
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] blankedout:
problem may be you're attempting to delete read only sns contacts. i know i get fc if i attempt to edit them so delete/edit shouldn't be too different.

nah, the edit bug has been fixed, but it's a possibility.

btw, my IMEI was that default one, but funnily enough i still could call/text. doing a restore through nitrality and reboot fixed it though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dark_sith:
Is that really nescessary with daily releases of MIUI?

If power calibration requires charge to full, wipe stats, run empty fast, charge, run empty slowly ... welll ...

I mean, if you delete the stats, it is only logical to do the whole process again.

Since the process takes days, how can you switch versions so quickly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aiirikx:
pretty cool new lockscreen i just found on the market, if anyone likes the honeycomb style, search ripple lock in the market. theres a free one and a paid one. I got the "Paid" one and its pretty cool :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaart:
i did a clean wipe, installing 7.7 and restore apps, system include contacts

then i sync with my google and exchange account, both had same contact. after synced my contact is either doubled and quadrupled.. and i only did a "remove duplicates" on contacts (just press menu on contacts, you'll find remove duplicates) and everythings just fine.. no more doubled or quadrupled contacts :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pimpoo:
There seems to be a little mistake in the lockscreen of the Theme:

On low battery the red circle is not centered anyone else realised that ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rakesh_ic:
My only question is... how do you find the resolution for a problem if everyone follow your rule of not complaining or bringing out the issues they are facing for which a solution can be suggested?

Solutions exists with problems. And problem is a problem only when it is shared with the concerned.

I understand if your point was to ask people refrain from cribbing on the same issue for which there is already a working solution and is acknowledged by the larger group
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zerozoneice:
it's already included in 7.6/7.7 isn't it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sinotek:
100% right. This is a real problem. Not just a cause of something that was done wrong. It needs to be talked about nd solved. Ignoring it isn't going to make it go away.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zerozoneice:
and which devs would that be?

the ones that allow guestbook-only feedback in english? or am i supposed to learn Chinese in the meantime?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jookas:
I have the same FC theme problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mdfaiz:
known issue / mentioned before. but currently there isnt any fix for it yet. perhaps this friday the chinese devs might fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soulicro:
You're absolutely correct, you shouldn't have to do a thing. Sit on your comfy chair and complain in this thread, that will get stuff done! :rolleyes:

Everyone needs to either get motivated enough to post detailed bug reports and try all methods suggested, or shut up. This isn't a product you paid for. This is a hacked, tweaked ROM based off of a closed-sourced Chinese ROM that is using an experimental version of CM7 at its core. You knew this going in. You don't like it? Go back to TouchWiz so we can get less spam in this thread.

Galnet has proven himself to being dedicated to the quality of this ROM, go back a couple of pages to see how much he worked when 7.0 came out. To say he doesn't care is ridiculous.

Besides, battery drain does not affect all users - I, for example, haven't charged my phone for almost 26 hours and I still have 30% left.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cloudstripe:
I have this problem once.. Try Battery Calibration from the Market. Follow the instruction then it will be fixed.

Having a strange issue on 7.7 where the wallpaper for Launcher dissapears and can't be set again? Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dave2312:
The guys with no lockscreen appearing on unlock, I had this last night, the solution for me was to just plug in my charger ;) now I have my lockscreen back.

Also, the 5unlockscreen is a no go for me, it crashes on unlock! Solution to get past it and set stock lockscreen was on boot, don't attempt to unlock! Hold back key and volume up, you have to release and repress both a few times for it to show enter pin screen :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] navodwickra:
I am on 7.7 and no problem with any of the new lock screens :confused:

Anyone having issues with momentary garbled playback in the MIUI music player? Generally the problems seems to come when I am playing large MP3 files (DJsets 100mb+ etc) and not when playing album tracks. Running MCGv6.15
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rakesh_ic:
I wish you had improved upon your searching skills when u claim that you search for all the resolutions yourself.

FYi.. ur concepts of searching the thread is not a new wheel that you have invented.

I have writen how to use the search button on one of my post. Please search and find it and it might help you on your future searches.

Turning on data eats battery.

Yesterday at 12.00 my battery was %83 and i used data only for 20 minutes.

Today 11.07 battery is %61. No wifi, no data, no Bt.

My modem is: JVP
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gugus38:
Where did you guys find 7.7 ?

Latest I found is 7.6, and every other sites is at least 2 months outdated... weird.

I also don't understand the difference between MIUI 7.x and MIUI 1.6.17

i' coming from cm7 nightly 30, did a wipe and installed miui mcg 7.6 and 7.7 patch but now my external sd card is not recogniced, it worked perfectly in cm7 before !

is this a known problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zerozoneice:
is the JVP modem CM7/MIUI compatible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sinotek:
No data = no battery drain. wifi hardly drains anything.

However turning data on and off isnt a real solution to battery drain.

Check galnet's signature. 7.6 is the ROM and 7.7 is a minor update.

1.6.17 is the latest chinese MIUI version. MCG v7 is the version released by XDA MIUI Team for Galaxy S based on 1.6.17 .

Even I wanted to know the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] debalex:
how is the battery life on the mcg now? when the miui.us version came out, I switched over because of battery was better, I noticed, the mcg version was faster, but the battery was horrible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dhiru1602:
Agreed. MCG is a lot lot faster at the expense of battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] debalex:
so you used cm7? and it worked? and you are sure you were on froyo? do you get any info at all, does it work when you plug it into the pc? try to take out sd-card, turn phone off, take out battery, take in sd card, turn on phone. this helped me once it didn't recognize it, if not, flash http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar/download

through odin with 512 repartition, http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1

then reflash miui. It should be working now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] debalex:
I tried the miui.us version with neo 8 kernel, reduced the battery from roughly 18 hours to 6-7... only changed kernels... I need battery life :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ocelofil:
which wipe you did? You mast do format system/dada/datadata and after flash MIUI is better do wipe cache partition and davik cache! And must work:cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] endursa:
hey, can't you read, i used cm7 for a month every nightly and my sdcard worked fine, as did my external, don't tell me **** about bootloader and stuff i know that i need the froyo one which i have on my phone cause it worked just fine, but since my romchange to miui it doesn't!

maybe i'll wipe again and see if it works else i change back to cm7, cause performance wise miui doesn't impress me to much anyways!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] debalex:
I was trying to help... I assumed you had froyo, and that you had the right bootloaders, the reason I recommended the flash in odin was, if all else fail... that would work... yes, I can read... wow, you really don't like people helping you
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dpatel10:
Hi! I have only one problem I believe besides the routine battery and imei issue. I AM getting my carrier as a Number any fix at all for this. I finally find this new 7.7 the best stable edition with no issues except the ones listed above.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] endursa:
sorry i didn't mean to offend you :), i'm just in a bad mood right now, and everybody comes up with the bootloader thing first :D

I really can't get the sdcard to work maybe a complete reflash will do the trick, altough i can't imagine why :D

btw i did a format on /system and a factory reset before flashing the miui rom!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Caemgen:
Alright. So, everyone that has 'great' battery life: You probably don't have Data turned on, right?

When on Wifi, batterylife is acceptable (but still not really good - from 100% to 0% in about 9 or 10 hours). But when I go out - where there is no wifi available - I hardly get 6 hours of battery life.

I read something about using 2G instead of 3G. How do I do this?

Also: Will WhatsApp/Gtalk etc. still work when on 2G?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] debalex:
were you coming from a previous version of miui? and it showed up in the last version only?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] debalex:
my sd card wasn't being recognized either, but when I took the sd card out, turn it off, battery out, while battery is out, take the sd card in, and turn it on... this worked for me. everyone is suggesting the bootloader because there is alot of people who skip that step and the first thing that goes, is the sd card ;)

Hello guys, first of all I congratulate the team for the great ROM!

I only have a little problem, i can't run the LED notification with touchkey (like BLN Notifications by Neldar)... i have alredy flashed the CM7_SGSMTD_20110618-07_platypus-revolutions-kernel_NEO_08-loop-MIUI (led-notif) but the result is the same.

What can I do to activate the LED notification?

Thx a lot (... and sorry for bad english :D)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bungknees:
Or you could just disable data by sliding down the notification menu and hitting the data tab, saves my battery alot and only takes a second to reenable it to check emails or whatever else you need it for. Also install CPUspy to make sure you dont have an app that has set off the battery drain, what I do is after I use an app that I think has set off the drain before I open CPUspy reset the timers, exit then after the phone has been on standby for a couple of minutes then I open CPUspy again and if there is a drain youll see the higher MHz showing. If there is a drain then a simple reboot usually fixes it. This only takes a couple of minutes at the most to completely stop the drain. Small price to pay for an awesome rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DaneFTO:
I really like the rom, but...

Hi Galnet and folks,

I'd like to say that I really like this rom, I think that it offers something very different to a lot of the other roms out there, however I am going to have to use a different rom.

The reason behind this is because of a lot of FC problems and titanium backup.

Although at the start i did have a problem with network issues that a lot of people have had with imei and efs. I overcame that by installing a stock rom (before applying cm7 kernal), copying the efs folder to my sdcard after installing free boot explorer from the market then installing miui. After this I connected to wifi, downloaded a free boot explorer (file explorer free I think - third one down in market - with this app and miui go to settings and set the option for root files - the system will also prompt superuser to give root access, accept) and then deleted the current efs and copy/paste the saved one from sdcard to phone and voila! sorted.

What is happening with me is that after installing v7.6 and then applying the patch I install titanium backup pro and then try to restore my apps. I get about 4% in and it stalls on tweetdeck. I have to kill the app eventually.

Once this happens I get FC's all over the place and nothing seems to work.

Sorry but I have to go back to a different rom although this is a great one. I will hope to come back to this very soon unless there is a fix now for this problem?

If not I will be watching and waiting! ;-)

Great work on this rom.

thanks.

Guys I've got a serious problem and it's making me mad.

I have 7.5 installed, applied the new lockscreen and everything was going well untill this morning when I started to charge my phone which had shut down because no battery left. But now when i try to unlock it, it freezes..... when i hit the lock button, it shuts down...

Tried to install 6.15 which I have in my sdcard but same problem..

What can I do, please :'(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arielo1:
well that sucks then

most lame way to answer a phone

if its in your pocket u answer before its out

dunno what to tell you guys first of all thnx for the dev's thats for sure

but this rom is full of FC

many apps that has used to work easliy on other roms including CM7 are not working here

tapatalk FC when uploading pic

android.com something always FC

my sms app from provider FC

and many other FC

i have done a clean install from scratch again to make sure maybe its me

but not still many FC
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] diiiooon1989:
if your device freezes/locks up at the lockscreen you can try 2 ways to resolve it with out wiping,

1st press and hold back button then press vol up. this has been working for alot of users but not all of them.

2nd version is to use ADB

and then go ADB shell

cd /data/system

rm -rf theme1

reboot

Now your theme should have been restored to the default theme.

I know this is not the most gracefull way to restore to default theme, but helps you to avoid whiping.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Higadeb:
Hmm, just don't be so easily annoyed by those trying to help ;)

Anyway, when I came from CM7 #21 I had a similar issue. What I had to do was create a blank folder called 'external_sd' on the base of my phone's sd card (the base folder when it's plugged into a PC, nothing to do with root or sys folders etc).

Then open the MIUI Music app, hit the menu key & refresh

Hope that's clear & helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galnet:
Seems everyone has had their two cents over night.

Now for mine!

Lets say I know what's causing battery drain. I fix it and come Friday a new release from China comes and the fix I've done isn't included.

Now I have to start from scratch and redo the fix..!

This would be a waste of time every Friday until the Chinese dev's include it.

This is the reason I'm not including the FM Radio at present. I could if I wanted to but then every Friday I'd be back to square one!

I'm stuck in a position of not being an Official Developer and being a patch developer.

I try my hardest to overcome the restrictions being put in place, and yet still 87% time get moaned at for what the Chinese dev's have done.

My position is Stop releasing MCG and let you all go to Stock MIUI or continue and get moaned at.

So lets vote again.

Should we stop developing a XDA version?

Mat.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soulicro:
No, actually, I have data turned on all the time... if I had to turn data off that would be unacceptable in my eyes, one of the biggest points in having a smartphone is being connected 24/7.

My battery did go pretty quickly when I was on 7.4 and previous, but I flashed without charging phone completely, didn't change wifi sleeping policy and had MIUI battery monitoring on. When I updated to 7.5 I started from scratch and did it right: I completely charged my phone, I reverted back to Froyo, I installed 7.5, I made sure that MIUI battery monitoring was off and I made sure wifi sleeping policy was set to never. If there is any configuration you'd like me to post from my phone that might help you out, let me know and I will.

What apps exactly? I haven't had one FC. Be a little specific, and I'll download whatever apps you list and see if I get FCs. I have a feeling its something on your end.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Higadeb:
@ Galnet: I don't believe it's had to come to this :( My vote is obviously for you to carry on. Forget those who moan, you're doing great work. I highly doubt anyone else using this thread is even capable of the work you're doing! Keep up the good work :D (please!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soulicro:
Of course you shouldn't stop releasing an XDA version. What I think you should do is edit/replace the first post with concise information: What your position is (patch dev instead of official dev), what it means for us (problems presented by Chinese devs take longer to sort out), and what we can expect from the ROM (what will and wont be included).

Let everyone know exactly what they're getting into, and if they feel like moaning afterwards - ignore 'em! Type up a standard answer you can copy & paste and that'll be it.

Out of curiosity, have you tried sending your fixes to the Chinese devs? Maybe they can include it and credit you for it. I definitely think its worth a shot!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sinotek:
Well imho here's what should be done:

If this fix will solve the battery issue I suggest you make a new version, add a sign to it (for example 7.8+) and then in the description say it contain a fix for battery drain.

Then on the next releases just keep going without this battery fix (tho make sure to say it doesn't have it in the descriptions) and every once in a while you make another + version that'll have all the latest updates with the battery fix.

That way people who are happy with their version and just want battery life can get the + version and people who need updates can go without the + until you'll release the next + version.

I for example am very happy with 7.7. My only issue is the battery. if you release a version that's exactly like 7.7 with a battery fix I'll get it asap and wait for the next release with the battery fix. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Predders:
Ow pls no GALNET!

Don't stop! MCG MIUI is the best ROM in the world!

I have no problems at all since V6!

Even the batterydrain is a lot less! I run 24 hours easely

with heavy use!!! :D

I love MIUI mostly because your effort!

I think the biggest problem is people JUST NOT READING or JUST DONT WANT TO UNDERSTAND stuff!

They think the did it perfect while in fact they forget 1 or 2 steps.

I'm a software engineer IRL, and I know that software can only run in 1 way.

There should be some very strict rules! Like complain posts or post already answered in the opening post must be deleted. Keep the thread clean!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mho79:
Yes absolutly - keep up the good work and don't listen to these other guys.

It's always easier to moan over something than to give you credit for a great effort of bringing new MIUI version to us every other day.
