Maybe my approach will help

I actually tried all the advices present in this thread,but I couldn't get miui v5 working. After lots of trials I finally found out that what works for me is (coming from miui 4.3) to clear /system and /cache partitions only. Whenever I tried to format /data and /datadata, it ended up in a bootloop. So what AI did to get as clean v5 as possible is to flash miui v4.3, boot it up once and then flash v5. Hope that will help somebody.

Btw. damn, I love miui! I was really scared to flash it (mainly because of this imei loosing possibility) but it's freakin' awesome! Can't imagine getting back to stock anymore:)

I didn't run the efs_backup.zip as I already had a manual backup. Restored that manually and all is good in the hood!

Doesn't glitch V9B have a better battery life compared to V10? (Assuming they're both running at the same CPU Min and Max)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quino05:
One more experience .With several attempts I've had always the same Stop during the boot , black screen for an instance and continued the boot until it finally stops. At last I've tried push battery,did all wipes you can think ,even kernel cleaner by linpool and then installed again V5 and then yes yes V5 installed

Ok so I searched through this thread and the Q/A and from what I gather it seems that to come over from CM7 to Miui I have to format system and cache and then just flash through CWM?

Is this correct or is there something else I have to do?

I am currently on Nightly #15

=================

After further searching I came across a post saying I can just flash Miui in recovery and that's it? Is this true?

Thanks for the help guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] noodletraveler:
Hi, folks.

I just would like to share that I don't have any problem going to v5 from v4.3. I wiped dalvik-cache, system, cache, and simply flash v5 right away. It booted up in less than 3 minutes.

Many thanks to the developers. Awesome job. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pepporony:
I had the same problem m8, just simply flashback to 4.3 and flash v.5 again [of course with wipe system,cache,script , the usual routine]

now my signal bar is full :D

edit---

I believed the notification was changed in this version right?

the old one when you are on lockscreen and there are 5 notification the icon show number "5", then you unlock and you see the actual notification. Now this version it still show "5" even when you are on homescreen?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcord11758:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hieber:
Damn, I wonder when an actual stable version will be released :S Every week, it seems like the devs are trying to implement something new. I'm not complaining or anything xD I'm actually wondering, haha
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ltwo:
MIUI MCG is already pretty stable. there are only a few bugs that have to be ironed out here and there. but think about it, even with those few bugs, it is already better than the stock SGS ROM from samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcord11758:
As far as i am concerned it has been stable for months
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hieber:
Oh, I definitely agree with you on that. Stock Samsung imo was terrible to say the least. I'm actually using the MIUI US version of the rom now (Since I haven't really had the chance to move to v5), and it's amazing so far. I guess "stable" was the wrong word to use in this case LOL. I meant to say something about a build that had everything working fine, but I guess still optimizing things.

Speaking of the v5 build. What's the difference between the MIUI US version and v5? I'm on MIUI US now, and everything seems good. One problem (asides from the theme manager FC) is that when you pull the notification bar down, the date says "Jun 4, Fido"... is that fixed in v5 or is the whole language pack from MIUI US used?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kostiz:
G'Day Everyone,

I just scored a free I9000 and thought I'd find the busiest thread to flash with a new ROM, hence I grabbed this one.

I downloaded all the files and this was a virgin I9000 that i was going to flash.

I read the revised instructions and thought Id go straight to v5.

NOW,

I read people saying it bootloops :eek: WELL YES it does, HOWEVER wait, I waited approx 10min, which still was bootlooping maybe I waiting 9min and 58sec :cool:

anyways, i just pressed the power off button and it booted into the MIUI

So perhaps I was lucky or I will get a lot of FC's later on, but for now it's working and I've tried to restart several times and so far so good.

I hope this information is useful for those experiencing v5 bootloops - give it a go, load it, go and make a cuppa or crack a tinny open and wait 10min, try to shut down and maybe it will pop into v5 like mind did.

PEACE

Kosti

So in terms of the ROM, i've not yet used it but it looks smooth, I've come from a SGT (TAB) and the dev's there are great, the overcome rom is fantastic, so perhaps these devs for miui can cross-reference and resolve these teething problems

Thanks again to the team that put this together!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kostiz:
One other thing i noticed was that this process didnt wipe the OS completely as there are still a lot of files / pic/ music from the previous owner that remained behind - i was under the impression this completed wiped the I9000

PEACE

Kosti
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xdaShex:
true, the only thing i miss is smooth mkv playback and i'd be complete!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Use moboplayer. Smooth like butter for me. I'm back to using Stock Samsung ROM (with my own modifications) and mkv playback on moboplayer with MIUI ROM was actually faster/smooth than moboplayer on Stock Samsung ROM (with my own modifications) LOLS

And battery life with MIUI was better than Stock Samsung Gingerbread. Nothing beats Samsung Froyo!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] docraj:
Just flashed to V5. The "bootloop" took about 14 mins and then I got the config screen. I have restarted the phone a couple of times and these subsequent reboots have been pretty quick. HTH

The only issue I seem to be having is that my backups on the local SD card are now displaying the date in Chinese (or it is just some chinese characters between the day month year figures.) Other than that I do not see any issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toansta:

Last night after I got v.5 runs perfectly I went back to try something on DXJV9. Then I went back using rahul guide and flash v.4.3 then flash v.5 afterward, I got bootloop

[wipe system,wipecache,wipe dalvik, run lippol's script]

So i went back to 4.3 again and reflash v.5 by [wipe system, wipe cache , wipe dalvik , NO SCRIPT run] now v.5 run fine.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Yea, the "bootloop" problem people are seeing is just their impatience. Be patient guys! Initial reboot after clearing cache/dalvik cache can take up to 30 minutes!

Never had this issue. I recommend you make a Titanium Backup for Swype before an update and if it crashes, clear the data for the swype, uninstall it, then reinstall from Titanium Backup

Thank you very much. My sig looks sexy now :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
The post in miui shld be correct. I can verify that this RC1 is indeed built from miui sources, sorry, even the kernel is built by miui. probably compile using cm sources.

Er, are you going to flash if it is from miui, or you are going to flash only if it is from cm7?

Maybe I can help you to see if yhis is right for you, if you can tell me what you want or use.

1. swype does not work properly on MIUI

2. MIUI keeps having choppy MKV (that can be fixed with vplayer but still... mvideoplayer on stock is brilliant)

3. battery drains my phone to 0 within 24 hours

it will not be better as a stock rom imo...

design and function wise MIUI is an amazing rom but those 3 issues are so big :(

I was just forced to go back to stock because I can't get swype working anymore :(:(:(

so hey curry how do you switch fast from stock back to MIUI and keep your apps? you use the donate version of titanium or mybackup root?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
You must always wipe data before flashing back forth from MIUI - You can quickly restore your apps using Titanium Backup.

I quickly switched by using Odin with repartition ticked! All my apps disappeared but quickly restored by creating an update.zip of Titanium Backup then using Titanium Backup, batch restored everything.

EDIT: Ooops that how I switched from MIUI to stock.

You can quickly switch back to MIUI by doing the same thing, but making sure you flash a Froyo Bootloader beforehand. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089989 then follow instructions like before.

Can you install touchwiz 4 on latest MIUI?

One of the only things I dont like about MIUI is the interface, especially the messaging system. Its so small when you write a message.

I don't understand what you mean by "it's so small when you write" you can change the Font size in (coming from on top of my memory) Settings > Personal > Fonts

As for the "different colours for each person" just try a different themes.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] splendidtry:
Thanks will try it out when I move back to MIUI

No I mean the boxes where you write SMS is small, regardless of the font size. And when you receive them. It doesn't seem to use up the whole screen properly, its all cramped into a small space

The colours, I mean you have blue to represent yourself yellow to represent other person etc. Its just not so straightforward and easy on the eyes as the stock one.

I will try themes.

Also I like on the stock one how you easily have acces to Keypad, Logs, favourites, contacts, history etc all at the top and you switch between them with just one press. I think you have to go into the menu button have a pop up etc and do a bunch of things to switch between these in MIUI.

I also don't like how everything installs and is dumped on the home screen, and you have no applications button so you can keep your home screen clean.

Also when you try to remove what you think are short-cuts on the home screen it actually uninstalls the application.

On the stock one, the home screen is like your desktop on windows, and what you install automatically goes in your applications. So if you install stacks of applications, they just go in applications, in order of install which is the best method IMO, and this keeps your home screen clean.

then, if you like a particular app you can just hold it down and send a shortcut to your home screen i.e desktop.

These are some things that felt so much more cumbersome to me in MIUI and a step back

Like mentioned in this forum I let it loop for about half an hour now. But its still looping.

Any pointers ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Leave Wifi TOGGLE ALWAYS ON! NO matter what! REFER TO FAQS!

Honestly ... all the things you are pointing out defines MIUI! Switch over to CM7, it seems to suit you more, and includes all (plus more) features

Did you have happen to overclock/undervolt? If you have, format /system and /cache then flash MIUI again. (Don't worry you won't lose any settings/apps)
