Are there ANY themes we can download in a .zip and flash via cwm? Being as the theme manager app is useless because this rom doesn't recognize (or is unable) sd cards?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Can't you just mount and unmount the sdcard to get it to work?

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
I actually was searching this thread while I was posting and found that post with the 'themesfix.zip' file...but thanks
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I didthat but the theme I Downloaded didnt install. It is weird that it wouldn't. :/
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Did you do the theme manager fix, did you reboot
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
nvm...very fast rom...keep the good work
[Captivate Android Development] alec5216:
You must reboot once more to change the notification bar to english.
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
is it possible for .avi files to be supported?
[Captivate Android Development] mswirski:
Here are the issues I am currently having with MIUI. Could someone tell me if there are solutions to any of these, if they are known issues, or if its something new?

screen lock animation (the crt flash) doesnt work. instead the colour is inverted on the screen.

the music player randomly stops playing

the music player does not support FLAC files.

The status bar icons for wifi 3g etc sometimes turn from white to green.

autorotation doesn't work right. when held vertical it switches to horizontal mode and vice versa.

sometimes takes two presses to switch from notices to toggles or apps (in notification bar dropdown)

MIUI weather does not support Canadian cities.

The external SDcard isn't recognized.

No HSUPA support (only 3G)

Thanks, i realize this is beta and I don't expect all my issues to be fixed. I just want to know if there are any fixes, and if any of these issues are currently unknown, i wanted to bring them to the attention of the dev. I post it here because I don't know if any of these issues are specific to the captivate port or the i9000 rom.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Please realize this is still beta and far from being a RC. Most of these issues can't be fixed. HSUPA does not display, the Miui weather does not work for places outside of Europe (so it seems for me), External sd card is fickle (try unmounting/remounting). MOst everything else is the way it is.
[Captivate Android Development] mswirski:
I was just going from what was listed in the main post. It seems most of the issues I brought up are not listed there?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Read the FAQ section I just put in, its in the 3rd post hopefully it can solve most of those problems.

By the way, would anyone be willing to test a zip file or two for me. They contain fixes and I have received some but I cant flash them all to test them, just pm me if you'd be willing to help. Thanks :D
[Captivate Android Development] mswirski:
Thanks for the response Moss. I look forward to those zips of yours! And I realized this was a beta, didn't expect much, I just wanted to draw attention to any issues that were going undetected.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Alright thanks, I sent the zips to the people who messaged me if you didn't get it just message me again, thanks again for testing :D
[Captivate Android Development] danimmal:
Is there any way to change the android lockscreen to the MIUI lockscreen?
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
I'd be willing to test for sure.

Love the MIUI rom
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
So far I have tested compatibility mode on TiBU and it change the color back to black so that worked. The Gallery SD card just keeps going through a cycle and not showing the pictures. So that aspect isn't fixed but all of my music is recognized through Doubletwist when before it wasn't. Camera doesn't show any picture but it doesn't pop up with the SD card error so that is a change/some step in the right direction. It seems this has fixed the Theme manager as I have not done the previous thememanagerfix.zip posted in the thread. I am going to download another theme to make sure it works on my phone. And after applying another fix and manually rebooting it has taken affect so this has been a pretty good fix minus what I have found. It is a hell of a lot nicer than having to unmount/remount the sd card.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The lockscreen won't be added until the actual MIUI developers add it in one of their betas.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
nice! this rom gets better every week!!!
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
enjoy your stay in Taiwan

I love that island - lovely people, too :)
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
Can anyone help?
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
try the following (additional) steps:
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Format cache system and data before you install rc2 and rc4-c
[Captivate Android Development] amerikian:
mossi

When i went from RC4b to RC4c, I was able to get away with just formating system and cache, then installing the update.

When RC5 rolls out, can i try the same thing or u recommend the "official" install method?
[Captivate Android Development] amerikian:
Off topic, but...

Me too! Beats the hell out of going to China any day (sorry any Chinese peeps!). I take the HSR and work down in Tai'Chung when I'm there. Pretty cool to use TrekBuddy to clock your speeds on that high speed rail...so far up to 190mph!

I have a layover in Tokyo and usually shower there to pass the time and freshen up but I'll probably be passing on the shower since I don't feel like glowing.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I tried this, but it seems like my phone get stuck no matter what CM7 kernel I try. I always have to install the initial kernel for it to boot and then everything doesn't work with initial kernel (ex. wifi). I have even left the phone stuck on att screen for almost 15 minutes, but still no luck.

Do I need something on my phone to be able to install kang or other kernels?

I don't know if this makes a difference, but the initial kernel recovery is 3.0.0.5 and I have also tried to downgrade it, but I can't.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
After having everything up and running with initial kernel try flashing kang kernel
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Well try flashing clockwork recovery on stock before you flash speedmod but I doubt that would do anything, if you can still get into recovery then try flashing another kernel or just use odin to flash one.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Well I always recommend the official install method but if it works for you then go ahead, I use that method too and it worked for but it doesn't for other people sometimes for some reason.
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
So far I've got everything running absolutely perfectly on my cappy.

LOVE IT!

However battery life is horrendous, does anyone have a suggestion on any kernels that provide better battery life? I'm using the latest Platypus kernel, I'm used to getting around 30 hours out of my phone and now im getting 10 tops lol minimal usage.

I know Javelin is supposed to have good life but I still haven't tried trident. I've tried kang so far too. Also I only want to try one right now because when I flash a kernel I have to to a bunch of retries because it somehow messes up one thing every time until i get it right lol
[Captivate Android Development] amerikian:
Will this address the stuttering, buggy Music playback when phone is sleeping?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Don't know, will have to wait and see :)
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
On the screenshot, the picture on the left shows "notification", "Toggles" and "Application" tabs, however, after I flashed the latest RC4-c, I do not get all the three tabs, just the Notification and toggles tabs. Was the Application tab removed on the latest ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes, long press home button for app control
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Can anyone confirm double tapping the clock on the miui lock screen will start the music player?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Confirmed
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
Yup. I didn't know that!! thanks for the tip
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Sorry about that, Ill update the OP along with screenshots tomorrow when the new release comes out.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
That is the whole problem. When I get everything running, and want to flash latest kang or any CM7 kernel, the phone gets stuck on att boot logo.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Did you try using odin to flash a kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
Are you formatting system and cache after installing the newest kang kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
Yes, I do this every time.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Don't format /system after flashing a kernel, that'll erase the ROM :P if you flash a kernel, only wipe /cache and Dalvik.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Man I can't wait for the new update :0
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
Where can I find ODIN version of kang and other cm7 kernels?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
ugh nevermind there doesn't seem to be a odin flashable cm7 kernel :/ my mistake, did you try what haloruler said not formating system after kernel? You'll need to reflash the rom if you did that and your sure your using the right file right? As in the right rom zip.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I just did and I am back at the att boot screen. I have to flash initial again. :(
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
There must be something wrong with your phone and not the rom if you keep running through the initial instructions and not even being able to boot into the miui loading screen nor the actual rom itself.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I can boot into MIUI, but only with initial kernel and not with any other kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Do you mean you can boot into miui without having to flash another kernel, if you can boot into then whats the problem?
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
It is the initial kernel used to flash CM7 roms and MIUI. There are things that don't work for example wifi etc. with that kernel and I don't have the other features.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Wow lol I hope you don't take this the wrong way but your situation is really weird lol, I never heard of something like this though, can you get back to stock? Theirs an update tomorrow so I don't think there's any use in trying to get this one to work unless you really want to. You could just try the new one tomorrow. And again I'm sorry I couldn't get your problem fixed =/
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
There is something wrong with your phone then. You can try flashing the CM7 rom with another kernel and see it boots if not, it's an issue with your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
I have flashed every other rom except MIUI and CM7. With CM7 I get error 15 or something, but other than that I have had no problems with other roms. Do you have an idea what could be wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
If you can't flash cm7 then you cannot flash this because this pretty much runs on cm7, can you describe your cm7 problem a little more if you can because then I can look around if there's a way to fix it. And that way you should be able to flash miui if you can get your cm7 problem fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I could of sworn I saw someone else have an issue like this with CM7, but it's been been a while. If you are still under warranty, you could trade your phone in for another one.
[Captivate Android Development] n00b_wm:
assert failed:getprop("ro.product.device')

status 7

installation aborted
[Captivate Android Development] stevrodriguez:
which is the best kernel that i should flash besides CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Didn't see this in the cm7 Q and A or the bug issue thing so ill post it and see if anyone knows what wrong...lol I really hope this wasn't in the q and a or the bug issue thing cuz if it was then ill sure get a mouthfull from them lol jk :)
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Well the only kernels you can flash are the cm7 ones but the kang kernels have everything working for most users.
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
you tried my latest ? :p

"flubber" & "antlion" have everything working, too ^^
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Oh I didn't see a thread em lol are they both in the platypus thread?
[Captivate Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yes :)

"Flubber" release

and

"Antlion" release

Antlion is the more recent and feature complete one
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Thanks! Added to OP :D
[Captivate Android Development] stevrodriguez:
after i flashed the JL3 modem my market dissapeared
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Did everything "google" disappear from your phone as in like gmail, market, maps, etc..?
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Chinese and Taiwanese people are fundamentally one and the same....it's like trying to argue that north and south Korean are totally different

you've been there ?

the attitude and mentality is totally different from my experience

this is Offtopic

Anyone else use Slacker Radio and is having trouble with the widget not working?
[Captivate Android Development] stevrodriguez:
no they were still there
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
hope RC5 fixes video playback..
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Very minor issue, but I was wondering if the date and time in the notification bar will be fixed? For example, right now it says "April 156:38" with no spaces between the two.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
it has been fixed already, I guess the link in the op is not tae's latest. A new update its coming out today, stay tuned
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Sweet, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
My phone just became super laggy all of a sudden. I hope it won't be like that when I flash the new beta.

Reboot fixed the problem.

Thanks!!

change log is not available yet?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Added it to the previous post. :)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Theme compatibility had changed some, be careful any theme with a modified settings will likely not work, will get fc on settings
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Gonna test prototypes pack then update the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
just done flashing prototype's pack. and i flashed over platypus' antlion kernel and jk4 modem w/o formating data. no problem so far.

Noticed they changed boot animation (there are some chinese letters which i don't understand) and theme color to orange. looks cool! ;)

Auto rotation works fine also. can't test wifi cause i don't have any wifi here.

Will report back bugs when if i find them.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
only thing ive found so far is auto-correct and space x2 for periods in text doesnt work. that is unless i'm missing something
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
They changed the keyboard so that is probably why.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
anyway to change it back to the old one. i really suck at texting. lol
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Grab LatinIME.apk from the previous rom. Replace it with the current one with root explorer, change permissions, reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Also, there is black text on black background in root explorer when you try to change permissions.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
doing it! thanks man. i couldnt remember which file it was or even if it would work.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
Is it possible for someone to post screenshots of all the changes in this new update?
[Captivate Android Development] lolgrec:
RC4-c to RC5

stupid question time! so one cannot cwm flash rc5 over rc4-c ... or is it /strongly/ recommended to stock > rc2 > rc5 as the OP states
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
RC2 is for people who are coming from stock since that is the last time the efsbackup was working. It you are coming from a previous MIUI version, you can just flash the latest. Just don't forget to format and/or factory reset.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Here are some changes:
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
heres a couple just to show ya the orange. not sure what else there is to show. new messaging ui, camera ui, orange hightlights everywhere. it looks pretty awesome. great conversation between me and my girlfriend.
[Captivate Android Development] lolgrec:
so should i factory and/or cache and/or dalvik wipe BEFORE i flash to rc5? or all 3 even? haha thanks for the quick response
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
This is what I do:

Format System

Format Cache

Format Data

Flash Zip

Factory Reset

Reboot
[Captivate Android Development] lolgrec:
which options are those under cwm again?

wipe cache partition

wipe dalvik chace

data/factory reset

flash zip

data/factory reset

reboot?

and what is your modem/kernel combo atm? cause i'm on kang's and JK4 doing fine
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Mounts And Storage

- Format System

- Format Data

- Format Cache

Install Zip

- Install zip from sd card

Wipe data/factory reset

Reboot.

The current Captivate version (which is the one I made so, I'm currently using) is using JK3 modem and kang kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] lolgrec:
ahh alright thank you very much for your help and quick responses. suppose i'll post if i have any problems .. when i flash, it installs kang's latest and jk3 auto? or will i have to flash 'em separately? i dr how that works
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It will flash them automatically so you won't need to do anything. :)
[Captivate Android Development] lolgrec:
exactly what i thought thanks so much for the help! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
No problem!

Off to do homework now... :(
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Dude, all of you guys in this forum are the best I appreciate all of your knowledge and help. If battery life was better,this would be the perfect Tom. I am still loving it though. Can't wait to try rc5!
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
anyone figure out how to change the the grey text color under the toggle switches in the pulldown menu????
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I wished the black screen when you get a call would get fixed. I had to pull my battery cause for the life of my I could not get the screen to come back on even after the call ended.
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
cant get my tun on animation to work

i stopped working after a few hours yesterday and i thought the update might fix that bu it dint :[
[Captivate Android Development] lolgrec:
oh btw thanks for the contributions towards this rom, keep up the awesome work ... and oh the irony, i am stuck doing that too *salutes* godspeed
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's turned on in the settings correct?

When you flashed the new update, did you do a factory reset?
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Just turn off proximity sensor in settings, make sure you press the button to turn screen off before you put the phone to your ear.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yeah I know about that, it's just annoying to do.
[Captivate Android Development] biggem001:
this keyboard is crazy annoying.

there is no auto-correct for words (only names in my address book)

its happened before. anyone know how to fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
You need to grab the latinime.apk from the previous rom, use root explorer to replace it, change the permissions, reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] steelechamp:
How can i flash back to CM7 from this? MIUI has been a great ROM for me but I want to experience clean android before I come back to this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] tae_254:
If you are already on MIUI download the newest CM7 rom, format system/cache, flash CM7 rom, format data.
[Captivate Android Development] TheMathMan:
I may have to go back to RC4 or CM7 for now as RC5 seems a bit broken.

Nice look and feel but seems more unfinished features and 3D performance is shocking
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
new update is awesome. the camera is a lot better than it has been. ui is pretty slick especially after a little theming. thanks guys.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
yup graphic performance got worse than RC4c.. don't know why..
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
My theme is updated and now works on new rc. Updated dl link in theme thread
[Captivate Android Development] TheMathMan:
3D is easy to fix. Delete the first line in the egl.cfg file
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Anyone take notice of lock screen time?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yeah it was one of the fixes in the new build.

sorry to bother you but.. where can i find this file?

now are you talking about deleting the "0 0 android" ???
