Haha, my sentiments exactly. I've used both, but I just love the constant updates on XDA's version. The one from MIUI is just MIUI + Translation pack.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zerozoneice:
could you guys develop or suggest these 2 things:

contacts: first/last name, sort by first/last name, save contact to google,sim,phone

camera: save destination option: external SD, phone

just took some screenshots on v4.3 and noticed they have a blue tint, is this a known issue?

thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freakfingers12:
Yes, camera is blur under low light conditions. Blacks often have red fragments. Use 50hz to reduce flicker in camera.

Another thing I realise is that the preview from MIUI Gallery is very bad! Don't use it, it makes your pics look way too blurry. Use Gallery3D from market instead and pics are better quality.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freakfingers12:
But the least they could do is credit you guys, which I assume is non-existent.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] freakfingers12:
Use default theme. Are you using the darkMIUItheme or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yup, that unfortunately doesn't exist. But not much you can do eh!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ltwo:
i was using MIUI Dark theme. switched to Default theme but it's still the same. do you mean Stock team or default theme? because the default theme looks exactly the same as the MIUI Dark theme.

edit:

calendar looks ok in the "stock" theme. hmm, is there anywhere i can download dark themes that work properly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geesamsungs:
Thank you so much for this, looks crazy! Also a big thanks for the battery drain fixes, works like a charm without any other apps needed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] borgsta:
I get a similar issue whereby I can't see the text at all for a sports app.

Changing the theme or more specifically changing to a theme with a different 'Text style' seems to fix this.

I think the one that fixed it instantly was MIUI Dark theme but that was done 2 weeks ago so I could be way off with the name.

EDIT: Now read you have fixed it. Download and use the theme 'My Theme 2'.

Its a dark theme that doesn't alter the text.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] borgsta:
OK and now for a question from me.

Has anyone got OpenVpn to work with MIUI? I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this thing out.

On JP9.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ltwo:
i'm downloading "my theme 2" now on theme manager. download is SOOOO slow though. hope it fixes the problem.

Fresh flash of JPY --> Latest MCG.

No OC/UV!

Now to test with a fresh flash to NEO3 Kernel + OC/UV Settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
I use that too :D great theme!

nice to see you back Rosie :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RosieKins:
Nice to be back... gotta lot to catch up on lol. Had family down so been manic heh!

How's you mambo??

What battery drain fixes? :eek:

I have tried everything I read, and my battery percentage still makes a good countdown timer clock. No joke you can watch the percentage count down on MIUI almost as if they were seconds.

I like the rom so I'm putting up with it but I'm just hoping for a fix with the next version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
ah i see :) yeah not bad thanks! relaxing, nice weather today!

put it in your SD Card and go to Theme Manager and import it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
As this may be true if you flash from previous releases, the battery drain is significantly reduced if you start afresh from a Froyo Base and then flash MCGv4.3, i got a good day and a bit from my battery.

Some are saying NEO3 Kernel with OC/UV settings gives even more life so going to test it out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RosieKins:
Mambo.. just wondering where you got JPY from? Can't find it on a search.

I'm getting huge modem crashes so need to change.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
From Rahul's guide, it's the full base:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RosieKins:
Oh nice ^_^

I was just using ezbase. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
No worries, i found ezbase creates too many problems sometimes, this base has everything you need :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] splendidtry:
Well I was running 3.11 MIUI from this website before this, and I moved to 4.3 using these exact instructions, that are on page 1.

https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ItSONRa9nzI7MKeKqwIdHCTRA3RRiOM_6LcJGnK4p6Y

So hopefully, you can tell me whether I flashed from a previous release or started fresh from a froyo base.

The instructions are not very clear though, so I don't know if I was supposed to successfully have a running 2.2. At the end of Step 8

" After successful flash, your phone is on Froyo 2.2 XXJPY with Froyo Bootloaders and Speedmod Kernel

Now you’ll find your phone having Froyo XXJPY, Correct bootloader, and Speedmod Kernel too. This completes first part of this tutorial."

I did not find any of those things as far as I know after step 8. I just saw this screen

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/215/img0469q.jpg/.

And then when I tried to reset the phone, it would just stay on the S logo and vibrate every now and then.

I don't know if this was what was supposed to happen or not but I just continued with the instructions word for word and I ended up with 4.3

Battery drain issues and excessive CPU usage/lag on menus still present and accounted for from 3.11.

----------------------------------------------

Can I just flash to the NEO3 kernel whilst changing nothing else?

Why doont the MIUI links come with that kernel if its better?

I try to follow everything exactly so I reduce the chance of bricking my phone cos I am not exactly a pro at this. I just know there a problems I haven't been able to fix.

I would love to install other stuff though if someone can tell me or link me to instructions.

The 3.11 MIUI kernel also allowed 1.6ghz overlock, which has been reduced to 1.1ghz on 4.3 which I am disappointed about.

At the moment I am just relying on the next release and download links fixing all the problems, as they come following normal instructions I posted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mazroui:
possible High Android OS/System usage FIX ^_^

may i add a small fix to be used with the following to help people with battery problems? this solved my phone being awake almost all the time and High Android OS/System battery drain

1. Using Miui V4.3 , to fix the High Android OS, in the main screen hold the middle button (home hard button) till u see the menu that shows recent apps, use the Miui App killer to kill forgotten running apps, after that goto the app manager--->(running) tab--->and close out apps 1 at a time by clicking on the process and stopping them.

2. a Fix for the never closing maps app (including some google services)and any others i dunno about. Hold the middle hard button (Home) --> app manager-->(Running) tab--> look for the apps that wont close and then goto the (All) tab and find ur apps (for example maps doesn't close when forced to close-->goto (All) tab and find maps, click on it) either clear data or force stop will do the trick to stop the process.

after that u'll see that u have more free memory(common sense), more closed apps(no more buggy apps running in the background consuming precious battery life), resulting in more battery juice ^_^

i know its not a user friendly approach but with the steps 1 thru 7, i saw very little improvement (mostly from steps 3,4,6&7) and this gave me a real big difference. please go ahead and test it and report back with results so that we can ask the dev to add it to the original steps in post 1

doing the following the phone no longer stays awake all the time with less android system, Dialer and google services activity.

unfortunately even with all of this , i know my phone/battery could do better using 2.2 but thats no fun anymore :P no lagfix/OC Compares to Miui+Oc for now :P

P.S

I even changed step 6 from auto sync off to background data off which gave better results with battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ltwo:
am i the only one finding this theme a bit laggy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
I believe the above is not the problem. But instead is due to the Smartass governor. I have since changed the governor to conservative (been testing it quietly over the past week) and found that my battery life has improved SIGNIFICANTLY and my phone no longer has the trouble of going through the night and not "sleeping." Despite this, I also found that the experience was not as pleasurable and found it laggy at times, but I guess I'll just have to live with it.

For anyone else wanting to test out my theory, please flash the file attached. And PM me/report back on your results. Over the course of an 6-8 hour sleep, my phone, over the past week, has been successful everytime with going to sleep, resulting in 1-2% battery drop over the 6-8 idle period.

This also accounts for the reason why many people are reporting much better battery life with Neo_04 - which I believe uses conservative for both awake and sleep governors.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RosieKins:
It works perfect here.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Re-upped file due to mistake... LOLS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ltwo:
seems better now. i think it just needed time to settle and whatnot. thanks for the recommendation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mazroui:
so i believe the fix.zip changes the governor from smart to conservative?

if yes, could u point me in a way to change it to whatever i have in pimp my cpu app? i always found ondemand pretty good (no use = 100mhz or asleep & after the first click the cpu wanders between max freq and a step or 2 down)

plus no matter what i choose it always rolls back to smartass how could i choose a diff governor and make the phone stick with it ?

P.S

since we're talking sorry i didnt use the search button :P

hello All, with mcgv 4 i can video chat with google talk, with 4.3 error appear when i tri video chat.. some help for fix? is just my problem? Thanks all :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kashortiexda:
Hi Mambo04 - firstly THANKS for the ROM and the hard work....

Secondly, to back up what you've just said about NEO3, I've been using it in the following config:

MIUI MCG4.3 + NEO3 ondemand cfq 100-1000 u/v 75

2 days 7 hours and 55 minutes ....... still at 25% !

That's 1.33% per hour

One of the posts asked why doesn't the ROM come with Zach's if it's better. It's NOT better, just slightly different, but I think Zach and TkGlitch are almost identical base, and it's really the governor and/or scheduler that saves the juice.... ( as per Currydudes latest experiment with conservative )

I find ondemand the best balance between performance and battery ( not heavily o/c'd tho'... )

NEO3 goes into deep sleep as advertised, and the governor is conservative with screen-off anyway ) It's ondemand with screen-on.

Also using BUJV3 radio - but in all honesty, they ALL seem to use +/- 3400 uAh - so modem has little/no bearing on battery ( unless of course the modem just isn't getting signal ) To me, get the modem that gets you the best signal on phone/data and wifi - and be happy knowing you've got good signal, and battery power is a given.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Yes it's jsut a simply change in governor and thanks for reading my comment LOLS

To change it to ondemand. Please do the following (going to and be as formal as possible LOLS :P)

1. Locate the 90screenstate_scaling using Root Explorer (Etc > init.d > 90screenstate_scaling)

2. Open the 90screenstate_scaling with text editor (Make sure Mout r/w is on -- Hold on to the file, a pop up should ... well ... pop up haha :P and press on "Open in Text Editor)

3. Scroll down and under "One governor to rule them all" change AWAKE_GOVERNOR to "ondemand" or whatever governor - except smartass/interactive

4. Scroll down even more and in the "Smartass settings" add a "#" before to all the echo -> Like this "#echo"

5. Scroll down and look for the governor you choose i.e. ondemand and remove the "#" before each echo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
agreed! +1000000

Lol I just mentioned this on xda about 3 days ago and someone suggested I post it on the guest comments on the MIUI official site. So I did, post number page 35.

lost ability to enter recovery?

I'm on 4.3 and all is well except I just noticed that I can't enter recovery mode from a power down. Trying to power off just causes a reboot. Pulling battery just causes it to start when I put the battery back in. I had to install an app to get it to go into recovery. I'm in recovery now which shows v3.1.0.1

I've not had any trouble before and have been flashing each version without issue. But loosing the 3 finger recovery/download mode is worrisome.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nit3m4re:
What kernels you guys using at the moment? Unsure what the options are really with MIUI, this will be my first flash of it. Would love to still have voodoo sound, and is it as simple as flashing through CWM like on a normal ROM?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] splendidtry:
Yea It did help a bit. But I cant get myself to use the conservative governator because to me it makes everything run way to slow and jerky. I really have to use the smartass governator to get just a wiff of the speed I want.

This is my biggest peeve withthe SGS. It runs really quick and smooth from initial impressions but doesnt seem to have the legs to stay like that for some reason. I'm not sure why though, even the now heaps old iphone 3 seems to fly through the menus and remain an extremely snapy phone even after years of uninterrupted use.

The only time I have felt the SGS run truly without restraint is with a fresh MIUI 3.11 ROM and running at 1.5+ghz without installing anything else.

But the battery drain. Damn..

Anyway I am now on stock speeds on 4.3 and the batt issue still remians. I really think its something else other than what is being suggested turning off wifi etc, as even when my phone is in airplane mode, overnight the battery drains like crazy. I have nfi what the phone is doing but MIUI reminds me of an Evangelion unit. Once you unplug it the countdown begins no matter what you do so you may as well make use of it.

Alright, now someone make a gif for me!! Of,

A SGS running MIUI plugged in to power, a hand reaches in unplugs it, the camera zooms into the USB port, then <<scene change>>, an eva unit with the power cord popping out of its back, <<scene change>>, 5 minute countdown timer running down. gif repeats. Awesome meme follows.

+1

I faced the same problem, got the 004... imei. Got tensed, could hear my heart beats and then took a deep breath and then flash FULL Froyo again and then said a little prayer as the phone was restarting. I was so happy to see it getting latched to network after that. I realized I had sweat on my forehead. :)

All this could have been avoided if the new guide didnt skip the step about efs backup.

I tried it all over again with someone else's instructions which had the efs backup step and everything worked beautifully in 1 shot.

Please !! update that new guide.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] n3x:

Will this fix work on CM7 aswell?

I have a massive battery drain issue on cm7 iv looked through the forums and cant find anything to help. One thing i have noticed is that the etc/init.d file has no 90screenstate_scaling script? Is this needed in cm7 or does the kernel not require it?

Thanks in advance

I'm sorry for the noobish question but I can't find an answer anywhere. So, since this is no Samsung rom, I guess there is no service mode. I need it to delete gps data. Do you know a way to do that on MIUI? Maybe with different secret codes or through adb?

Any help will be much appreciated! :)

EDIT: Another thing I wanted to ask (that I've just remembered... -.-) is if MIUI is using the Nexus S GPS settings such as jupiter.xml and interpolation off and so on... CM7 does, so does MIUI?

Headset issue

Hey,

I am facing a weird issue. Whenever I plugin the headset the default music player starts on its own. I tried finding the setting for this but couldn't.

More importantly, when I pause the music and make/receive a call, my voice cannot be heard at.

I rebooted and made some calls and everything was fine. The moment I plugged in the headset, the problem came again.

Any idea?

I was wondering if you have installed the bastard nightly and if your experiencing a high android system drain? Also will the battery drain fix curry created work on cm7?

I'm suffering serious battery drain after losing 50% in 4 hours

Cheers in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
Yeah I flashed it today finally. Loving it. Nah I've never gotten high android system drain. If you're using stock kernel (which you should be) then no it won't work. You can go to Settings - CyanogenMod Settings - Performance - CPU Settings - Available Governors and set it to Conservative. But this won't affect idle battery drain.

EDIT: Well you can try everything it says in the FAQ here:
