MIUI9000 F.A.Q - Read Everything Before Posting

So, Hello new user :) Welcome to the new Samsung-crappies-free world of MIUI. With this ROM you'll be able to notice how great your device actually is :)

But, since it's a Work-in-progress ROM, there are still some bugs and (apparently) some not clear passages during installation.

So I've decided to write this FAQ post cause we're really exhausted to answer everyday the same questions. I think 12868753 posts are enough.

Before posting everything please read all this article! :)

Q: I flashed MIUI ROM but I can't downloading apps from Market. What can I do?

A: Open Downloads app → soft menu key → Download via Wifi or 3G. Then Reboot. If it doesn't work, repeat and reboot.

Q: I can't see External SD in file browser (on the phone). What can I do?

A: You may have flashed JVK bootloader on you phone. Flash EzBase ODIN ROM and restart Installation Procedure.

Q: I can't mount my External SD on my pc. What can I do?

A: Download and put in your Internal SD the latest version of Zach's Kernel (Bilboa's is the same :) ). Reboot in Recovery Mode. Wipe cache and Dalvik-cache. Flash kernel and re-wipe Cache and Dalvik.

Q: Which kernel is better? Zach's or Bilboa's ?

A: At the moment they guarantee THE SAME Experience. Someone says that Bilboa's drains less battery. Someone says that Zach's is faster but less stable. To me, they're both great kernels and, since they're strongly related to CM7 sources, are both performance. Try yourself and choose which one you like more

Q: 3G network is not working. What I can do?

A: CM7 and derivated roms suffer from a bug called RIL Polling. Despite Zach's kernel seems to fixed it, sometimes after a reboot it doens't show up. What you can do is Lock and Unlock your SGS and 3G will come back!

Q: I'm running MIUI RCvX but MIUI RCvX+1 is out. Do I need to wipe?

A: Every MIUI ROM is No-Wipe, so teorically speaking you can flash them without any problem. But as it's still Work-In-Progress it's strongly raccomended to format at least cache and system. If you see bugs on the newer release, Wipe everything and reflash.

Always perform a backup with the awsome tool which MIUI Backup is.

Q: I'm running CM7 and I want to try MIUI. What I have to do?

A: Just Format system, data and cache and flash MIUI (Good choice by the way :P )

Q: Wifi is not working even if I wiped cache and flashed Kernel again. What can I do?

A: Despite wifi is now fully working you may have broken something. Two are possible solutions:

Flash back to Froyo 2.2.1 with Ezbase and reflash MIUI following instructions

Set a static ip address.

Q: Autorotation (+ accelerometer) proximity and light sensors don't work! What a ****ty kernel!

A: Nothing is ****ty here. As it seems, those things are strongly related and Zach's is working on this. At the moment what you can try is flashing again latest Kernel (Zach's or bilboa's), Wipe Cache and Dalvik and reboot. If it doesn't work, hard reboot your device (keep power menu pressed for 10+ seconds). Repeat this method 'til it gets working.

Q: Oh this Rom sucks! I have high battery drain, No TV out, "crappy" camera and freaking MKV playing and no 720p recording. I gonna flash back to froyo!

A: Glad to know that! :) Please do not make too noise when you go away!

Since I don't wanna read all 650 pages, these may not be all FAQ. So please PM me if you have suggestions. I'll add to this :)

Hope to be useful for you and clarified most of your doubts. If you still post whatever is wondering you! We'll answer as soon as possible ;)

Welcome again in MIUI9000's worlds :D​
