[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thunderteaser:
Let's make it clear about the IMEI issues.

When you first installed MIUI, you flashed a filed called "galaxys-efsbackup.zip". That file copied your /efs partition - the one containing your IMEI - to a path in your internal sd card called /sdcard/backup/efs .

When you flash a new MIUI release, it is restoring the content of /sdcard/backup/efs to your /efs partition , so you will always have your IMEI as long as you keep that backup folder.

If you remove that folder, maybe formatting the sdcard, the installation process will be unable to restore your IMEI, so you will need to run "galaxys-efsbackup.zip" again before upgrading to a newer release.

If it's already screwed up, flashing back a Froyo ROM through Odin will restore your IMEI. This time, don't forget to flash "galaxys-efsbackup.zip" and keeping that folder if you're planning on coming back to MIUI.

The only time it was not users fault it was when glanet removed the efs restoring procedure from the updater-script in an older release, but that was reintroduced again in the next build.

Even if your IMEI is screwed, that should not compromise the signal issues you might be having. Be sure you're flashing a kernel compatible with the old RIL, marked as "MIUI compatible", that you're coming from a Froyo ROM the first time and... that you read the FAQs.

I hope many troubles concerning the IMEI are now clearer to you. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 3rdcoast:
This might be off topic but is it my latest flash or something in 4.3 that has suddenly caused me to not be able to get into recovery? I can only get there from an app, the three button method only boots the phone. Perhaps related, I can no longer do a shutdown, it reboots. Pulling and then putting in the battery also starts the phone. All of this has worked properly until the last flash.

Battery Drain

Strange!

I was getting 10% drain per every 1.5 hours. Followed the FAQ on battery drain, by wiping battery stats and setting wireless to always on.

After charging to full and leaving it off charge at work for 3 hours i now only had 1% drain!

Strange that the wireless thing should work, but hey, its all good if my phone up time lasts longer!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burner07:
i have a probleme with the display.... wallpapers have some stripes i think is gamma related... on my comp display those stripse don`t appear they are like rainbows skittles:))
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] OGC313:
Awesome ROM guys been following this since day 1.

Just a small question, which froyo base gives the best battery life? I haven't done a fresh flash since around RC6!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clownfish:
Hey,

I was searching the thread but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I follow this thread a long time now, and have seen a few multi-language file. Is there one for the latest release? I tried the one for HTC Desire HD, it worked but I couldn't give my PIN anymore, so I couldn't send SMS or call someone.

Is there a working one, and shouldn't there be a link to it in the OP?

Thank you very much in advance! You guys are great, MIUI is great, never want to go to an other rom!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pingvinen:
Well, the thread is not well over 1700 pages so forgive me for not reading backwards in order to find out how to fix my SMS FC's.

I have the latest ROM, updated with a formatting of /system and /cache. Everything works fine except that the SMS app FC as soon as I tries to create a new sms. Responding to those that I have recieved works fine.

Another irritating thing is that when the phone boots, there is an loud beep during display of the boot logo. Is there a setting to disable this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
Try playing around with Voodoo Color?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burner07:
im playing with voodoo color... default/ custom same ou btw :

my best color tone tuning: red 230

green 231

blue 256

you can try if you like it give me a thx:D

and a simple question mixing this color or using them at max for ex: blue 450 doesn`t cosumes display life?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] genich1971:
The SMS is a bug in the last version.

you will have to install another software like GOSMS (tested and working fine).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
i had this issue too, i just went back to 4.1 till tomorrows release. 4.1 works well and does everything i need, to be honest i only update for the sake of having the newest release lol

im sure im not the only one ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
I'm on stock kernel right now so I can't use Voodoo Color.

I think it should.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AlexandreT:
Answer to burner07:

Go to Launcher Settings, activate High-res graphics (second option from the top).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burner07:
thx but i have that option selected:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
This is definitely still a major bug. I hope the developers make this a top priority!

I'm on the latest MIUI and my rear speaker volume is drastically lower than before. I can hardly hear anyone on the speakerphone anymore when outside. None of the settings or apps solve the problem. DSP Manager doesn't have any effect.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
Louder = Better :D

i like the headset volume when voodoo adjust it, its ear piercing, i love it like that, i wish my rear speaker could produce that,

Voodoo only has 1 option to tune the rear speaker and that makes it quieter and more bassy for me, But DSP Manager works well.

If im in the mood for rockin' out !!!, il crank up my surround in the house lol, if im in public, il stick the headphones in, so its not such a problem for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
You have figured a way to increase the volume of the rear speaker??? The volume is very low on mine and the speakerphone sucks when making phone calls. None of the apps work to increase its volume, including DSP Manager.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aegeuss:
There's a small development in this problem; arter all research i have done i have ran into an app called Volume+ whose developer is also in these forums; it is a good solution for back speaker, but the dev says that it is not possible to adjust the incall volume.

İ think it should be adjusted by the cyanogen devs.

Regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doccrow:
if u really want UR REAR SPEAKER to produce loud volume dont use voodoo instead eat a lot of beans. i am sure it will be so loud that even ur housemate wont be able to bear the loudness
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
Oh dear.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] araje:
Sorry for the late reply.

After my imei problem, i went back to Froyo and then followed the steps mentioned here. It also has video tutorial. Everything was great afterwards.

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-miui-rom/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doccrow:
it was his wish. just gave him the idea
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
in DSP Manager go into phone speaker > Disable Bass Boost

then Enable Equalizer and select custom preset and make it look like the attachment.

have music playing whilst doing this so you can notice the difference, it makes a big difference for me

Also, do not have the option 'tune speaker for music' enabled in voodoo control app
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
My rear speaker is loud enough, however my PHONES rear speaker isnt lol ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doccrow:
another idea, y dont u lend ur phone ur rear speakers lol and take the phones rear speaker. will benefit both of u lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
so to sum that up, you mean why dont i take my shiny samsung galaxy S and stick it up my rectum ?? haha i dont fancy doing that ..... again !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] doccrow:
ha ha that was an explicit way to say that. well the phone is good enough, for u to not do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
I just tried it and it increases the volume for the phone speaker when playing a video on Youtube,

but it does nothing for rear speaker in-call volume.

Any advice? It's the in-call rear speakerphone volume that is driving people crazy.

Uh oh! I just rebooted my phone but it just turned off and turned the LED lights on when touched. I tried taking out the battery and then turning it on, and it showed the Galaxy S logo and then shut off again. I took out the battery again and plugged in the charger, and then suddenly it went on!

I guess it didn't like your sound changes?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
Oh..... im terribly sorry, i mis-understood you, i thought we were talking about the phone speaker :o

i dont have a solution for the in call volume, but i do think it is lower than it has been. sorry for that
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lilzad:
hi, i was wondering is there anyway to enable the 5.1 sound when headphones are plugged in??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Please can we keep the thread tidy lads ;) less about who is going to shove what where and more useful banter :D

5.1 Surround Sound only exists in Samsung ROMs (codecs) so you can't enable it in this ROM i'm afraid.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burner07:
i can`t wait for the new release:))) is there any changelog to sleep well?;))

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
I think he means about our release. Nothing huge, just an update to 1.6.3 and a new Kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burner07:
ok thx hope the kernel fixes the damn music struttering :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spark001uk:
Hi mate, hope all is ok. :) Tell me, will you be leaving TW out of tomorrow's, and further releases? I know it helps some people run their favourite stock apps, but I think it does kind of steer MIUI back in the direction it's been [rather successfully] coming away from?? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chevy2410:
Hey all,

I just installed MIUI for the first time and so far I'm liking it a lot. I have one issue that kinda bugs me. When I receive a call or disconnect from a call the phone vibrates. I've looked in the setting to turn it off, but doesn't seem to work or I can't find a setting. Am I missing something?

thanks,

Chevy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SilverMist1:
i tried to find a way for disabling it but i could not succeed too. it was bugging me a lot but now it does not annoy me as much. however i still wonder if there is a way to disable it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAMBO04:
Hey man :) all good thanks, yourself?

Yes, as stated in post 5 on OP, MIUI will not longer include TWiz Framework, you can add it yourself. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Karle:
hi there! I'm using MIUI now for several weeks and I'm still excited using it. other than some known bugs which don't bother me, the following is really annoying: every time I make a call or answer one the speaker volume is fully pumped up, even though the volume-control-bar wasn't changed and displays the last pre-set volume. so every time I have to vol up or vol down once during the call to set the "right" volume so that my ear doesn't explode. anyone an idea to resolve or is this a known bug? also this happens either with zach's or glitch's kernel...

thanks

I have two questions

One, the changlog of the 2nd post of 1st page, stated that there is a FM Radio drivers implemented in 4.2/4.3. However I could not find any FM Radio app out of miui rom. How could I listen FM radio ?

Second, Could I change to other baseband version from other zone like asian ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mac-wac:
Drivers are implemented, but there is no working radio app.

About baseband - yes You can, just flash a suitable modem through cwm, but keep in mind that it have to be cm7-compatible zip with chosen modem.

How accurate is the built in battery monitor? It reported that my phone was not asleep the whole night, while my other 3rd party app (CPU Spy) reported my CPU was in deep sleep for the whole night. I lost 5% whole night with flight mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lttldvl:
Yes, just edit contact, hit menu and select join, then select any duplicate entry for that person to merge them.

If they have multiple phones you can select a default number buy long pressing on the number to be set as a default when out of edit mode

Battery drain and kernel

Hi all

I'm on MCGV4.3 and as others are experiencing, I too have serious battery issues. I have a feeling that this could be related to the kernel. Can someone please suggest me a proper kernel that helps me save battery life while it's compatible with MCGv4.3?

Appreciate the help

Its pretty cool but 1 thing that is annoying me is the haptic feedback strength, is there any way to turn it down? Or is it just on or off?

Just replaced modem with JV5 a HK/TW official gingerbread rom sucessfully.

Here are ingredients

1. an existing cm7 galaxy compatible radio e.g. cm7-galaxys-radio-JVO.zip

2. JV5 modem.bin file

Replace the modem.bin in the zip by JV5's modem, then flash the new radio zip in CWM.

Done!!:D

Hi

I'm totaly new in the Samsung Galaxy S part here.

My previous phone was a HTC magic.

I've have some questions before i'm going to flash.

I'm currently on the stock 2.2.1 ROM

and I was wondering how I need to put the MIUI rom on my phone.

On my HTC Magic I first needed to root, flash a recovery and install rom

I'm not sure how it works here? Can you please explain this to me?

Onother question, does this rom has battery drain? if so, will this be fixed soon?

Cause I realy like this rom and I would love to use it.

Thnx for all the info.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
Or you could've used a CM7 compatible JV5 zip? :p

Download and flash that through Odin. (Make sure to download the .tar version)

Then you should have root and CWM recovery. Then just download the latest CM7 and flash it. Then flash the latest MIUI.

Yes it still has battery drain. But it isn't as bad as it used to be. Ofcourse it is still being worked on but I can get around 26 hours of battery life out of my phone with moderate usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] milowke:
Thnx for the info so far :) it's a great help and I appreciate this so much.

You said that I need to flash the latest CM7 rom (from Cynogenmod site i think)

Do I need to flash it trough the recovery that I installed in the 1st step?

And this MIUI rom needs to be flashed as written in the guide I assume?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] smukc:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
You should flash the ROM today then, and not use your phone all week, this way you could manage to use only 1% per hour..

and then buy a cheap phone for $50 so you can still call/sms :p

i.e..... what's the point dude? just use it during the day and charge it at night

use during the day and charge at night can be useful -- if it last until the night..

I got 15hr Standby and 6hr of full use.

My 3G is always on and I use TK Glitch PE kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madduckuk:
Point is, if i need to actually use the phone during the day i end up in the low 20's and if for some reason i am home late, or don't have time to charge properly, or need to use it more than normal i will be carrying a paperweight around at some point.

As i say - i know the 4.3 ROM is capable of very acceptable standby times, and im wanting to get it sorted so i have that all the time - no so hard to comprehend really :confused:
