I agree that the poster was unneededly rude towards someone putting in that much effort to get things working! But apart from the negative tone, there is something to say for taking a bit more time to test things and iron out the most obvious bugs and maybe do the MCG release on saturday instead of friday, so theres more time for quality control.

Or maybe have an alpha version every friday and make a stable build once its proven to not have any major issues after one or two days testing by people that choose to try the alpha.

Mostly though, people shouldnt ***** at the developers like they've bought something that doesnt work properly.. its all free, at best you donated but you didnt buy anything, so you cant really demand anything or get hissy about bugs..

I do not experience the lockscreen lag you mention btw, it works smoothly for me (using 7.3 after already having the new lockscreen enabled so it stayed), still get issues installing some apps but since theyre not vital i can live with it until it gets sorted out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] keanyiap:
The keyboard is not vibrate...anyone facing this issue like me?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lilzad:
gotta agree with you y r people complaining as though they have bought a product from the shop it is free and everything free is not perfect. if you want perfect go stick to the original roms and dont use custom roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xmsnx:
Wow! Seriously?

Dude, don't let the door hit you on your way out!

Also what do you mean by "It even has a proper reboot/poweroff screen and doesn't just show the toggle screen"?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galnet:
I can actually understand what you are saying, yesterday was a complete and uter disaster for me. My mind was working on overtime...

I've had a good nights sleep and I'm feeling a lot better.. today might make a couple people understand I'm only human and do make mistakes sometimes!

Thanks to everyone who has stood by me on this hicup!

Galnet even if I brick my phone after flashing your rom, I'd still support you for the work and effort you put into it.

We are with you !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soulicro:
Bollocks. You're working nonstop to bring a better, more polished MIUI ROM to our SGS. You didn't have a "complete and utter disaster" - you just made a simple mistake while hurrying to get an update out the door for your fans.

Then you stayed up and cranked out like 4 versions until you got it fixed, and now you're continuing development.

Again, I have never donated to a ROM developer before because I've never seen a ROM developer such as yourself. You speak to your fans on eye level, you keep nonsense to a minimum, and your work is consistent and of amazing quality.

Don't feel the need to apologize so profusely - you already said sorry, and then you went ahead and fixed the problem within a couple of hours. If anything, these ungrateful users need to apologize to you.

Anyway, hopping off your **** now... waiting patiently for the update :)

Keep it up!

Does anyone have the issue of WiFi not working in MCG 7.4 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
yesterday was not disaster at all, it was/is splendid job done!! salute! :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexhull24:
Yes. I don't know how you could have read back to find the 7.4 link (assuming you did that) and then didn't read all the subsequent posts. There is a small issue with the kernel, flash NEO 7 to sort it out, or some people are reporting NEO 8 v2 also works. As usual, all at your own risk etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soulicro:
Why would he have to read back? 7.4 is the current version, it shows up on the first post.

Anyway, I'm sure Galnet meant to package NEO 7 in (from the changelog - "Kernel Reverted to NEO 7 (DON'T USE NEO 8 on this install") but forgot... most likely due to lack of sleep.

Go ahead and patch NEO 7, it will sort it out.

Galnet, you may wish to re-upload 7.4 with NEO 7 patched in to stop people from consistently posting about this issue :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raistlin74:
A disaster?????????????????

Sorry to be rude, but you are saying bull****.

You made a wonderful work.

Errors can happens.

But you are still improving the MIUI experience.

The Theme Manager FC? Happens. I think that everybody can live with it.

And if not ... is their problem.

Wanna go with the standard MIUI loosing a wonderful developer that worked till late night to solve other's problems? Their choiche.

Do your work if you want at your time. Take all the time you need to work, don't hurry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spark001uk:
Mat, really, stop apologising mate, you've nothing to apologise for! Suffice to say sadly only the decent followers among us will understand that! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sinotek:
K so turns out that SD install issue (And apps on SD not working) is Neo8 kernel related. Some weird issue...

Anyways after updating to 7.4 and going back to Neo7 all is well in my SGS world again.

Now I understand why it says in the post to not flash Neo8 :D

Oh well, I have to learn the hard way sometimes!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jthomas888:
Hi Galnet.

Great work so far. Don,t let a bad day get to you.

I have tried all ROMs out there many a times but always ends up coming back to MCG MIUI. And that is because i believe this is simply the best SGS rom out there . Fast and beautiful.

We can handle all small problems that may occur in some versions. Because we know for sure that the MCG MIUI team is always there trying to sort out all issues as fast as possible.

And we also understand that you are trying to provide us a much more customized and wonderful version of MIUI. In that process it is very possible that some small issues may be there. But who cares, because we know that even with those small kinks MCG MIUI rocks... And ya those kinks disappear very fast too...

Looking ahead to more great updates....

Im also got this issue..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vogie:
Galnet, shame on me cause i can't donate you (government forbidden issue) :(

Any way u should to know, I'm with you and i never flashed any other MIUI versions Cause i belief you'r work.

anyone know how to make keyboard vibrate again? Thanks in advance!:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rang3r:
Launcher force closing and pretty laggy on 7.4, what the f... problem? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zionator:
Ok I am still on alpha version and it rocks stability and battery wise.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spark001uk:
I personally turned vibrate off, since the intensity adjustment never worked in MIUI. It was too heavy, I wanted a light vibration, so I decided I'd rather have none at all, and I've got used to it now! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Auratumus:
Hi there,

got Wifi Error on 7.4

Any Ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ogzon:
Well problem is it's not perfect.. This is MUCH better.. :)

I have my SGS for about eight months, and till two days ago I was only using stock (custom) roms.. Then I finaly installed CM7/MIUI and there is NO WAY that I am going back on stock rom's..

Like I have a new phone.. ;)

Galnet - THANKS again for great work and sharing with us..

PS.

Maby stupid question, but anyone knows what is happening with MAMBO04 who started this thread (and rest of people working on MIUI) ? Why is Galnet alone in this :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spark001uk:
v7.1 No Issues Here!

Ok guys I don't know what the issue is here, but I can personally confirm I've just installed v7.1 completely as-is (which I downloaded last night), and it seems fine to me, five-point lock screen works a treat, no lags, nothing. Ok so the theme mgr errors when you apply it, but you just press force close and then reboot, it still changes it. Am I the only one who the new five point is working fine for?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galnet:
Thanks all for the comments...!

Mambo's phone is away for repair, and he was not feeling to great the last time I spoke to him, Currydude is busy with his studies.

I'm not on my own though, I've got plenty of people I can ask advise from, including you lot..!

Hi guys!

First of all, mat you're the man!

Respect for all your effort and dedication.

But i got a problem, my phone won't unlock at all.

Even not with back button and the volume button.

I'm on 7.4 right now.

And still got the new lockscreens.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bible0:
i flashed v7.2 with neo 07 but i still have the lockscreen

i thought they were taken out in v7.4
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galnet:
Also I've found the reason why Theme Manager is FC'in all the time!

Seems as though the Chinese Developers have tied the Theme Manager in with the Updater application, hense when we remove it in our version, bang the whole system shuts down and FC's all over the place.

Also I've got all the lockscreens working faster, less lag and alot more responsive.

MCGv7.5 - Coming Very Soon...!!!! :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TyNiX:
Actually I did see the updater in miui.us and gone in MCG but said hey...maybe it's just for miui.us updates didn't cross my mind that it was in direct line with the theme manager ...Those little people (chinese) are doing nothing but causing trouble ...Why don't they just release the source + why don't you just hack the ROM extract the source and modify it :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vogie:
Galnet, in any way to put this "Updater application" in 7.4?

I can't download big files in home any more (Limited Bandwith Internet) :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Higadeb:
Galnet, please stop releasing new versions! This is ridiculous. I went a day without checking this thread and since then three new versions have been released and I've just read through over thirty more pages on this thread!

It's quite amazing how quickly MIUI is evolving in your heads.

Great stuff :)

but it seems fine for me !

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TyNiX:
Did u bring back the lockscreens and what's with the MIUI updater FC'ing ? What does basicly FC ? A system app or just something related to the themes ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galnet:
Yes Lockscreens are back mate. Updater FC's for no reason! It's just being picky..! LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dago:
With new lockscreens, the phone "freeze"...

This bug is fixed in your Rom ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spark001uk:
+1 here, on v7.1 with neo7 and the new lockscreen worked fine right off the bat, no lags or anything!

Very odd though- some people, such as Dago in the post above, are having problems with them. Why only some people I wonder??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TyNiX:
Well basically i dont want the whole theme system i just want the lockscreen...The wallpapers can be changed with no problem and the rest are perfectly customisable so lockscreen changes ,no wi-fi errors and no sd card install errors and it's perfect.

P.S. I noticed 720p recording still choppy ...Is this fix integrated now or i gotta search for fix and patch it manually ?

It's roms like this one that make me hold onto a phone longer, i'll make a nice donation soon.

Thanks!

Nice work, i really like your releases.

I would be good to see new versions on rom manager or having some kind of updater.

Just a quick question, your release are based upon miui 1.6.17 which is based upon cm7.1 but what is the cm7.1 version used(nightly 26?)?

Keep working hard, we love you!

New lockscreens look fine now. I tried them and they work great. Still wish we could customize the buttons a bit but c'est la vie for now.

Yes the updater does FC on restart.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dhiru1602:
Read the changelog and it mentions that the Lockscreens have been removed. If so, then what are the Lockscreens translations done?

Where can I enable the new lockscreens?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mr.klee:
feedback 7.5

a few quick findings:

THEMES & LOCKSCREENS:

- with 7.5, theme manager does not crash anymore

- all lockscreens apply fine, though custom wallpapers aren't streched (as stated by the chinese devs); however if you re-apply the custom lockscreen wallpaper, it stretches out over the whole screen

- after a reboot you cannot unlock your phone with any of the new lockscreens (as stated by the chinese devs; instead you have to use "back+volume up" to unlock it)

- sometimes with the new lockscreens, you have to push the homebutton twice, when screen is off to wake up the screen (no such problem with stock lockscreen)

[i will stick with stock-lockscreen for now, as even the chinese devs rated it experimental]

WIFI & DATA:

- wifi works fine, but i just had a problem with data: after rebooting the phone with wifi on, after switching to data it took about 2 minutes to get a dataconnection, normally it had a connection really fast (like 2 seconds); just tried to reproduce this --> everything quick again, so probably it was just my operator/phone

BATTERY:

- too early to talk about it..

overall, this rom seems really stable to me!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
Just flashed v7.5. My battery went down 11% in 10 minutes of use!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
FYI:

Deep Sleep does work with NEO_08_V2

if it's not sleeping either it's a small (upstream) kernel bug

-> then reboot

or an app or you are keeping it alive cause you're looking too often at the phone ^^

-> kill apps, give it some time and then it should be in Deep Sleep

some times it needs several minutes until it has calmed itself down and can go into Deep Sleep

the kernel has several fixes so this generally should go faster than stock CM7 kernel but - as already written - there are still factors that might keep it awake

and it's more susceptible in that regard than stock (samsung) kernel + ROM

WIFI issue for some that it does not transfer data:

- dunno right now what might help - perhaps it's an issue on your side

for me it works perfectly (from what I can tell)

give me a break :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MobiusPT:
For the version 7.5 I only need to go to "recovery" and install update from zip? Or should I do something else?

I'm running the version thats on the firts page of this topic: 5.3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mac-wac:
Flashed 7.5 and I see galnet managed to fix apps installed on internal sd issue. :) And wifi is working again for me. New lockscreens are working fine, but I would rather stick to the old one.

Just another great release :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Warrior4Jah:
My issue was (7.1) that I was unable to enter pin after selecting a new lockscreen style (the 5 point to be specific). The lockscreen icon would sit on one of the 5 options in the dial never showing the pin screen.

Since then I have been wiping and installing various version of Miui trying to get into pin screen without succes (I did not want to wipe data).

Just in case someone is having the same issue and doesn't want to wipe all:

1) Its best to mount usb in clockworkmode; and put the US version or the fixed 7.5 version on the phone memory.

2) Wipe system+cache and install either version (I chose 7.5).

3) Now shutdown phone and remove simcard otherwise you can't get passed the lockscreen.

4) Boot Phone and then go to settings and reapply the stock theme.

5) Shut down phone and reinsert simcard.

Solved! But sadly when reapplying the 5 point lockscreen it again doesn't allow me to use the phone because pin is not shown and phone freezes. It only works without simcard :D

I'll be using the stock lockscreen for now :) [edit] Back key+vol up doesn't let me unlock. Just in case someone thinks I'm an idiot :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spark001uk:
My Findings vs One Other User

Ok, here's my comparison, first findings:

-Theme mgr: agreed, works for me also.

-Lock screen cannot unlock After reboot: Nope, works ok for me, unlocks just fine.

-Data taking a long time to lock on: Fine here, locked on in ~2 sec.

COUPLE OF MY OWN FINDINGS:

-Phone started getting hot for a few mins, it's ok now tho.

-Auto brightness a little darker again, over last week, which was a little darker than the week before. Getting a bit too dark now!

-Superuser not functioning for some reason, am unable to make any system dir changes as was able to previously.

As I say, this is just me, and from what I can see so far, not every bug is affecting every user. Why? I don't know! Perhaps the way the fw was installed? Or which versions previously come from? Or maybe even particular versions of hardware components? Could be anything!! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rinxas:

Not sure why but i have Android System using 31% of my battery
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexhull24:
Nice problem solving Galnet, your dedication to this project is bordering on legendary!

I flashed stock Gingerbread to compare the signal (weak signal) issues that seemed apparent with MIUI, at least on my network in the UK. I've checked the signal numbers on the stock ROM, and I'm getting the same sort of strength as MIUI, but maybe there are more bars showing on the stock ROM compared to MIUI. Perhaps this is a CM7 trait, it's difficult to get exact numbers.

In addition to this, Hutchinson 3G (Three) no longer seem to offer 2G transmitters in the UK any more, so the 3G signal is always a little more poor than I've had in the past. Since I've had no problems with dropouts or messages failing to send, I think the signal strength in MIUI is just fine for me, despite the bars. I see that the latest version has even more improvements and I would expect that it's almost perfect now. Thanks for your hard work.

Battery Solvements:

- Kill All Apps Before Locking Screen

- Turn WIFI to NEVER sleep

- After installing MIUI always load into MIUI and reboot

- Do not UC/OC

- Flash a Modem to your region (Remember I'm Scotish and JVK works in my region, this is why it's included)

- Don't use MIUI Battery Status (Causes phone not to sleep correctly)

Thanks to all for the comments! and Thanks to Zach once again for his excelent work in the Kernel Department!
