i would vote a big YES but poll is closed ;)

MCG is the best of all ROMs i tried, especially due to the crazy update and fixes rhythm, one can barely keep up with them :) Keep it up guys, you have amazing skill.

Reg. battery drain screams around here: isn't it clear already that the SGS has drain issues due to 3G/HSDPA data, no matter what ROM/modem is used????!! Using 2G data is a workaround at best for everyone at this moment, not the most pleasant (if you have a good 3G connection :)) but the best for battery life.

Simple tips that got me ~2/2.5 days on my normal usage pattern, as opposed to barely 1.5 days with other roms:

- disable HSUPA via secret code

- use 2G instead of 3G

- disable auto-sync of accounts (but keep background data enabled)

- uninstall everything that you don't use (google calendar sync, software updater, etc)

- turn airplane mode on at night if you really need to

- Wifi sleep policy to never

- disable any google backup/restore from "backup data & settings"

- disable any location services (wifi/gps) from "my location"

- use autobrightness

I personally never had the Android OS bug, and also never saw any improvement with leaving Wifi ON even if i had no wireless connection.....I also remove stock gallery and use quickpic instead

I think a thread much like the OP should be in place closed to all discussion. Keep it clean and up to date and easy to read. A separate Q&A thread can be in place but don't expect an answer if you have A read the OP and B used the damn search function!

At the end of the day Galnet this is your rom and you run it how you want it.

@galnet

If you can make a version without battery drain (I am still getting bad battery life - with all possible fixes), I think you should, and you don't have to update rom every friday. You can update every 3-4 weeks, or when official miui release big update (most of the weekly updates are not big!), or when you have time and want to do it. :) I think that everyone would be happier with stable rom with good batt life, then to update it every friday because there are some small fixes in dialer or contacts (that you don't even notice :)). Just my 2 cents. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Szighy:
yep...this would be the best...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lttldvl:
I know how you feel galnet. If you do decide to stop developing then I would completely understand, and not blame you in the least.

If it would help, I would happily do the patching the radio in, or any other patches you need to be put in repeatedly, every Friday to save you doing it. It would give me an introduction into the development side of the rom, and I would be able to build from that experience. If you're willing, can you please pm me with the files and instructions and I'll get to work :D

After all, you do all this for nothing, it's only right to give back by either helping out or donating.

BUG: GREEN SCREEN

It seemed to be initially solved when i flashed 7.7 (7.6 then 7.7 update) however everyone now and again i find the screen going green before it dims. does anyone know a solution or is this just localised to me ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vinnnn3003:
I love MIUI

Don't care, i just want it any way possible!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexhull24:
There are several problems really.

1) People flash this ROM too lightly without considering it still will have problems. Every ROM in this forum seems to have the same issues with people who don't read all the information available and ask the same questions over and over that have already been covered countless times.

2) The development of this ROM is via patch and not integrated into the main release. This is making too much work for the devs and if I were them I'd just not bother until they can either be integrated into the main development or unless they really feel they must do it.

3) The frequency of releases has been too fast. The turnaround and support is great, but aiming at a moving goal is getting a bit impossible for everyone concerned to be honest.

So, I'd be tempted to just let the official port continue and use the talents of the devs elsewhere, as they must feel frustrated now. I'm not sure how this works (as like a lot of stuff here, devs don't tend to explain their process or the process of how the development works), but maybe CM7 would be a better ROM to make tweaks on.

As much as I love this ROM, it's frustrating to see the above things going on and all the friction makes me think it's probably not worth it, especially if the devs are feeling like they have to hold back fixes now. My thanks goes to all those who have worked on this and given feedback, it's no doubt the best SGS experience available.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] falseman:
@Galnet: I am able to test the rom's and say what the bug's are!

Most of the MIUI(Xda-release) users don't search or want anything to solve a bug/problem. they wanted from the people of here, and most of us do not want to search and then they write it to here and wait for a answer from somebody.

i had one problem since i had MIUI from here, and that was the WiFi problem, but that is been fixed in a few minutes. the other problems i fixed self, or read it from here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prana_Sky:
Hey Matt {Garnet), Just wanted to tell you my phone is working great now and I'm happy with 7.7. I think your doing a great job and looking forward to more releases in future. keep up the excellent works. Peace:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] anpf:
Hi Raqun.

latest working version was 7.4. i tried also the jvk and jvp modem - without success. neo v7 is still an option, v8 didn't work as well.

if wifi is activated, i can see a lot of different routers around me, also to mine. i login, everything seems to be ok but if i try to open the browser, or the market - nothing happens. via 3G it works. i never had this problem with a former version of miui.

i will try a last time with an older neo version, if this isn't helpful i have to flash back to 7.4 - unfortunately........but i love it so much.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cmemmanuel:
I found that when I stop the automatic sync of all emails whether it is gmail or pop3 (email.apk) the battery drains issue improve by more than 50%.

Right now, I didn't use the automatic sync for all emails. My reasoning for this is why would you want to sync your emails to your mobile when you are in front of your computer and when you are on the road you can always manually sync.

If you really need it to make it automatic, you can always grab settings profile where you can turn on the automatic sync by location.

I love MIUI MCG v7.7. It's great.

Great work Galnet. Looking forward for the new patch.

omg battery drain is just huuuuge

10 hours of sleep and battery went from 100 to 55 ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yken:
Can anyone who knows this very well give us info. MIUI is not open project. Its closed. What does this mean?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yken:
During sleep was data on or off?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lttldvl:
If it's open sourced then it means that the developers can use the source code before it is compiled. Closed source means that the code is compiled and usually encrypted to avoid people simply decompiling it and editing the source code.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] archangelz:
Means parts of the code are not available so it is impossible to make changes to those aspects of the rom. Most of the time it's in things like libraries. Say for example you want the modem driver to do something, but you don't have access to the modem code. The library will give you access to the modem, but if there is a bug in the library code you won't be able to fix it yourself since it's probably been compiled and sometimes encrypted.

Re-calibrate or flash again or as simple as switch it off and then on again (seemed to work with a lot of people)

I'm on MCG 7.7 ,,, 14 hours of moderate use, and i got 45% battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pepporony:
Did you complete the cycle like 2-3 times?

At first I flashed I got like 50% in 6 hrs. of sleep then after I using till it's out of juice now at this rate I think I can live almost 2 days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alesandro:
can you help ..

If i want to go to CM7 coming from MIUI, do i flash directly or do i have to go through the whole procedure? (you know,, since they're both are based on the same thing as i understood).

appreciate the help :)

Help, i got this error in the first step. Re-Partition operation failed. I am from darky rom 10.1 and this happen. No my phone cant go into dl mode... Any advise?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lotacus:
I have mentioned my personal concerns about the constant updates before.

No one is forcing anyone to reverse engineer a rom on a weekly basis, sometimes even two or three times a week. As well, no one is forcing anyone to flash their phone with such constantly updated firmware.

To be completely honest, my phone was fine on 4.5 aside from some minor quirks, like the su bug, which had an easy work around. I waited until v7. To upgrade because I noticed a trend that did not reflect my idea on the implimentation of the current version scheme.

Expectations are set too high between releases and are only amplified when there is a big version difference. Even now, from 4.5 to 7, I would have expected ALOT of differences and huge fixes. However, because of the trend, I knew not to expect such things.

There have been a handful of bugs in this version, but only because I have been exploring new uses for the phone aside from clicking on buttons and admiring the beautiful decor until the battery has almost depleted.

Now that's not to say that these bugs are not present in earlier versions, so I can't call them new, but newly discovered.

I find that a lot of people are expecting roms they flash, to work out of the box, and tend to forget where they got the roms in the first place. Remember, this site is for the development of roms. Its like Google; always in beta.

Sure, every fifth post is about battery drain, and every third post has work arounds (not fixes) to such issues and other common issues, and it is stressful to me just reading post after post about the same things. I can't imagine how Galnet feels.

I can't say yay or nay to the continued development, because it is not my place. Galnet needs to make that decision on his own. His development started as a hobby, something that provided enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment, I reckon, but now with the stress added and the high pressure of forum members at his throat, I wonder how his own views have changed such recreational passtime. Is it still enjoyable as it once has been? Within that question lies the answer to a decision. Don't forget why galnet started on this path to begin with.

The best way to deal with stress is to not get involved with it in the first place.

That being said, whatever the outcome may be, is totally and understandably acceptable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yken:
Lets say MIUI is doing bad things to my phone, is not there any mechanism to know this. Lets say my phone is connecting to a chinese site without my knowledge.

Cant we know this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lttldvl:
There is probably an app that'll tell you what your phone is doing behind the scenes.

If you're too concerned about it then I would suggest not flashing the rom. It's better to be safe than sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drew071:
to clear the dalvik cache just go to advanced in cwm and then clear dalvik. The Cleaning script is found HERE

Just install it via cwm and it will do the cleaning. Then install CM7

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] navodwickra:
by first step you mean flashing the speedmod kernel? anyhow you should have flashed it to Ezbase or anyother stock FROYO rom before flashing any of these stuff. Thats why we always say read carefully. anyway does the recovery mode still work? and this may sound silly but try removing and reinserting it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lotacus:
It wouldn't be without knowledge if you knew about such activity.

There are several programs that can assist you with such concerns. But judging by your question, such use of programs are beyond the scope of the current level of understanding and do not adhere to the general context of this particular thread as it would apply to any rom or any single program. I would suggest that this question be asked in the correct location. Perhaps the question and answers thread. This particular one has already thousands of posts. Lets not contribute to it with something off topic and unrelated to the purpose of this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kkube:
A possible solution in my sense to problems

galnet,

i have been around a while following this rom, coming from darky.

for me i think you should continue the development. i have seen the whining in this thread increasing day by day over simple issues, people dont read OP nor do they search. i mean this is a weekly updated ROM. so it is gonna have some issues, and when they arrive you do all you can to rectify them.

i was on v6.15, then had to go away for 3-4 days, and when i come back i see 7.7 released, thats a huge jump and many many updates.

what i see a possible solution to all these problems is, rather than a friday release do a sunday or monday release of your ROM.

that will help this thread in many ways:

1) for people who wanna go around and try new things can flash official rom on friday, and test it for bugs and whine over there.

2) it will give you proper time to test the rom fully and release a possible stable rom, as i see it by sunday or monday you usually have a stable release that everyone is happy with.

3) this will also help many followers like me who dont like to flash every single day but like to have latest update, so that we can enjoy that update and features for some time.

hope this would help this thread and development, because i also dont like to go through 30-50 pages every day just looking at the same silly question over and over again whose answer is mentioned on the very first page.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Raqun:
This seems to be a very strange problem.. when you feel like flashing again, try to flash neo8v2 one more time now that it works again with glitch
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cheeshun:
Haha.. i read thru everything in this thread.. just that it didnt happen to explain i have to flash to Ezbase... it only stated to flash to a stock froyo rom and i followed that. unfortunately, the flashing seem incomplete.. stuck at boot screen with the galaxy s logo flashing. For now, i can only try Ezbase method and see how it goes. Thanks for the effort anyway. I manage to go into dl mode by taking out the batt, plug into usb, hold the 3 buttons and insert the battery. Battery shld be last to go in. Magically dl mode still able to show up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] phalanger:
Great ROM, 7.7 is very nice. Although as reported, enabling sync gives a disproportionate battery drain. Without autosync the batterylife is very good for me. Unfortunately, using JuiceDefender ultimate to control the sync frequency doesn't really help, only manual syncing does.

A fix for that would be great, even if its too much work to do weekly; I dont care that much for minor weekly updates compared to having good battery life.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlexandreT:
I've been running MIUI for the last few months, it worked fine when I first installed it, it's still working great on the latest version (7.7). Every update has simply worked.

I have no problems worthy of notice. Battery lasts me 1 day easily, doing everything I need my phone to do (UV and OC to 1.2, Neo2, JVP). I have no problems in charging daily.

Last month I went on a road trip, the only thing I did was to stop background sync and turn on 2g only (all because I was in roaming service). I was using the GPS for a lot of hours during the day and everything was still working fine and still getting at least a day's worth of battery. Not once was I out of battery during that period.

I believe Galnet can willingly make this even more awesome. Nagging him because of problems that have been solved and answered a million times will probably end up making him get fed up. People, please use search and be polite, Galnet is not our servant.

So many problems people present come from not reading the FAQ on the first page... So, to people reporting huge problems with their phones: This rom works fully as advertised! A lot of people here can attest to that. If it is not working for you then you have made a mistake somewhere, stop accusing Galnet. Don't use titanium to restore data from other roms, use Froyo bootloaders, use updated Modems, use proper update procedures for full roms and kernels. Its actually quite simple to make this work as it is supposed to, people just have to read the faq.

To Galnet, if you still have the energy to keep doing it, please do keep updating MIUI.

Hi guys thanks for the feedback!

Here is what I propose:

1. I will get the FM Radio working.

2. I will patch this 720p issue.

3. I will fix the battery issue.

4. I will TRY and make the Rom no longer require a Froyo bootloader!

This will take time in development but once done, I won't release any other version unless a major change occurs.

The Chinese dev's can either work with me or against me. I honestly don't care!

I will make 1 Rom, my own version and people can either like it or lump it!

Mambo04 and all developers will be credited, but it will be my own Rom with my own modification under my own name! Like Boz did!

MCG will end with v7.7 and a new Rom born on Friday unless Mambo wishes to continue development of his own, however I won't be releasing any further updates under this thread..!

I can't get a hold of Mambo to ask his opinion, so Ive had to take my own decision on the matter.

How does this sound?

Regards,

Mat.
