The overall feel is different. Tw4 is pretty cool and their are a few more settings than froyo. I feel like im on cm7 with better battery.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Am in process of downloading rc3 now.lol might try it out later. Rc1 was laggy for me. Didn't try rc2
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
does tw4 have a scrollable app dock?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Not sure about what you mean. If you mean if you can scroll through the dock bar then I don't think so, you can only scroll through it when your adding an app to the wallpaper/homescreen.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Ya thanks. rewatched the video I saw and saw it was only for adding Widgets and stuffto home like u said
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
The only issues i ever see is the polling problem and battery life.

My love affair with MIUI on my Armani S ends today, it really is a great OS...

But its OK... Galaxy S II is in the house!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
MIUI Android is back up.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Not fully but yes

Like children, what was all that about

But atleast things will move forward
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Looks like we will also have miui.us as well since it will be up tomorrow, so we will have two different translation websites.
[Captivate Android Development] rebaptist:
Sweet
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Cm7 just got an update for sensors and kernel
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Is that something easly implimented in Miui?

Sent from a autonomous device
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I think so

If the kernels out there do not implement by tonight I will pull the kernel and lib files and make a flashable zip
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I'll take a look at it after I take a shower.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
cheater!!!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
See? It all worked out for the best :)
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Some changed libs files and some additional lib files. Looks like those will be added on tomorrow's release.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Do you know what lib files?
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Sweet! I was a couple versions behind... finally updated to RC 6 and have my external SD Card working!

Now if Cyanogen can address the power issues.. this would be perfect (well almost). ;)

When you build your package do you copy over entire folders or just specific files
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Specific files.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Back up
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
****ed up the kernel zip file, wouldn't boot. Good thing I backed up my apps before flashing it.

Made a new rom package instead...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Likely going to do the same in a couple hours
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Any luck proto
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It booted this time.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Full rom package
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yeah, figured out why my kernel zip didn't work, my file placement was incorrect.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Scratch that, I edited the rom wrong as well...

Did it again (correctly, made sure) and it won't boot.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

Anyone know what effect the split in the dev team will have on the Captivate miui effort, if any?

Trying a kernel. Downloading nightly now
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Modules on the nightly are in the lib folder????
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
None.

10char
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
That is correct. That is also the case on the new kang kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I do not think a simple kernel flash can handle that
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I am still learning when it comes to this but best I can tell the manifest has two scripts which appear to designate where all the system directories and files should be located. since certain files have moved my thought is that these need to be modified in order for the system to be set up correctly. of course this is me talking out of my ass but it is what I got at the moment. I am not personally prepared to test this until I can get some verification from someone who is more aware than I am
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Hopefully Mambo (or Kenia, I think he is doing tomorrow's) knows how to do that.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I think it Is all copy and paste, but that is assuming I am even remotely correct
[Captivate Android Development] Brosto:
What is the clock / weather widget in the screenshots? Is that a pay app, or is it part of miui?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
I believe its miui weather. And it's free
[Captivate Android Development] Brosto:
Thanks!

You are correct sir! (in my best Ed McMahon voice)

[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Can't wait to see what tomorrow's update brings. I just now saw MikeyMikes's GR-9 ROM, and I really want to try it out, He always has great work. The battery life on MIUI is starting to annoy me now.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
MIUI and battery life may cause me to drop MIUI and move on

Same here I really love MIUI but the battery life is more than likley whats going to cause me to drop it and move on. I'll see what today update brings, I don't really care about the auto rotate and other little tweaks, because it means nothing if you can't get battery life out of the phone to even enjoy the update. I'm already eyeing the continumm ROM, might have to just wipe the phone and give that one a shot. I guess my review of the MIUI is that it's a really great ROM probably the best for the samsung captivate but you can't really enjoy it for extended amounts of time without worrying about battery life....no battery life? Whats the point of the ROM then? The phone can't run on air...lol
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Battery life is going to be **** for awhile until it gets fixed in CM7.

So if you need a longer battery life, then stick with another rom.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Yeah I downloaded the files for continumm v5 gingerbread last night but havn't installed it yet. I'll wait to see what the update brings this afternoon on MIUI if the battery life still stinks then I'm 100% sure that I will be flashing Continumm v5 gingerbread this weekend. MIUI is a nice ROM but it's a little too greedy for me.....LOL!!!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
There is no implication that your battery life is going to get better with the update
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Really? maybe i should just go back to stock...lol!!! I tried those extended batteries too, what a rip!!!
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
They updating this thing or what?

Back to cm7
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It will be out later today.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
The release on fridays are normally features and bug fixes. We are reliant on cm7 for battery optimization
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Nice to know you
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
On cm7 now...

just wondering...

Miui is ti itz
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Been on oerceptionII til today( amazing rom) but maybe today is the day to come back to miui:)
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I don't get why cm7 is so popular, Id pick miui over it anyday. (my opinion)
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Word. From my perspective cm7 has more traffic. Just switched because of the threat of no updates.

Productivity is best.

Like I've said before

Miui: clean as fu8;k
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I like both. Miui a little more. The feel of this thread means allot too
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Ok battery life is bad - but it isn't completely horrid... I can go a complete day of normal use and have to throw it on the charger afterwards.

I wonder since Samsung is going to be releasing Gingerbread to the i9000 crowd if that will improve development... or *hark* allow MIUI to be installed over a tweaked version of that?

Then *poof* all the features are working and this conversation is moot.

I respect what Cyan Mod is doing - but if it isn't working... I like most folks will go elsewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
agree. hope they can make miui over i9000 GB. heard i9000 GB is dang fast also. wanna give it a shot but its friday.. lol
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Oh well hopefully in time this thread will gain more popularity. You guys are free to talk about any rom or say anything you wish on here. Just no cursing :). That being said im gonna try out the new GR-9 (I believe that's the name) untill we hear of the new miui update.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
I have been using the I9000 gingerbread for a week now and wanted to try miui again since its been a few weeks since I tried this rom, but I can't find instructions...is it the same as CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Pretty much. There is a website link on the first page that has the instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I heard that the sensor libs were being changed to samsung ones in the update. Would this have any effect on battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
+ a bunch lol
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
How is it?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Had a little trouble, gonna try later.
[Captivate Android Development] fluidd:
I agree.. This is why I moved on back to FireFly when I had my Captivate. If you're looking for battery life, then FireFly 3.0 is THE rom to get.

Continuum, I haven't tried since I already got rid of my Captivate before that was in its current stage now..
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
wurd up guys. looks like rc7 is out or just about to be packaged over in the i9000 thread. Hey Mossination, Mcord, Prototype, or Tae. would one of you guys be willing to pm me or post in this thread on how you guys package the updates with the kernel and all that so i can learn how to do it myself. that would be awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I would love it if someone gave a tutorial on how to package. I won't be be able to update the thread for a couple hours so if your waiting for the RC7 pack to be posted then just keep watching the thread for someone to post it.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I'd also love to see a tutorial on the specifics to make a captivate miui update zip.

On battery life, that's why you have extra chargers.

Sent from the miui matrix SGH-i897
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
chargers are awesome for keeping batteries charged up. i'm always with my car or at least its in the same general vicinity as me so i just keep a spare battery in my car. it works pretty good that way.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
A tutorial is a bit hard to put together because the files that need to be changed may vary.

When one puts a package together all you are doing is replacing certain files with others inside the rom zip
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I am actually trying to download the official release but the dl is do slow out is like watching paint dry
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
I use this add-on for firefox that lets me download roms fast. EX: 300mb downloaded in about a minute. My internet speed probably helps too :D
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
What are the files zimage which is the kernel what else?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
ok lets presume you download the i9000 version and want to use kangs kernel

you need to open both zips

from the kernel zip you need to copy over the

zimage

and anything in the system folder which should be one lib file and the modules

you want to remove any modules from the rom package that are not present in kangs package

open the modem zip of your choice

copy modem over

there are three lib files that have to be transfered for autorotation

i can not remember their names but I post them earlier in a zip

copy them over

if you want to change the build prop it is in the system folder

that is more or less it

I am considering packaging a rom directly from the chinese official release

for me I need to copy all of the files over from the english pack

copy over the files from Kenia's 3d drivers

follow the same steps for modem and kernel

modify the build prop

cross my fingers that I know what I am doing and flash
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Also you need to get rid of certain init.d files since they are using the platypus kernel.

I tried to make a rom from the miuiandroid awhile ago and it wouldn't even flash XD.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
thank you for the advanced warning

did you do that today?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Nah, I think I either tried on the last build or this current build (1.4.22). Changed everything and went to install it and it said something like, couldn't install (bad). So I must of missed something or need to change something. I also edited the updater-script so I probably messed something up in there.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
got it to boot, had to reflash kang kernel after first boot to get wifi to work

restoring apps then going to apply theme and see if rotation is a go
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Either of you two get the change-log?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Rotation works
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Which kang kernel you are using?

Nvm, saw your other post.
[Captivate Android Development] nooomoto:

Can't wait for rc7 my buddy is taking the plunge tonight. I have 1.4.29 on my n1 and it's running better than 22 did.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
100% agree. And, my battery last all day. It's worth it to me to manage battery life to use this one of a kind ROM. I use 2g when I don't need to surf, and turn off wifi too. My battery still declines pretty fast from full to around sub 80%, but levels off from there. I average about 5% an hour or less.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Prototype

Do you want to hold top see if mambi puts an update out, our do you want to use the updated chinese build?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I would say wait for Mambo or use galnet's version.

[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
stupid question. i know. but how the hell do i turn off haptic. i hate it. thanks ahead of time.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Ok, I decided to give it another go at remaking the rom from the miui android source. This time it flashed! I will test it and if everything is correct, I will upload it.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
3D fix added.

Sd Speed fix added.

Working wifi

Working auto rotate.

Keyboard with dictionary added.

Ad blocking added.

Build prop changed.

Updater-script updated.

3D Gallery added.

Looks good. Just need to remove something and then I can upload it.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Did you change the updater script

If so just a copy and paste
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I took the updater-script from the i9000 version and then changed it to say Captivate instead of i9000 XD.
[Captivate Android Development] aasheet:
plz include 3d gallery too :P
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Oops, I did add it, just forgot to mention it.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Hmm, I have no lockscreen...
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Smells fishy
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Lol there's really only about three kernels I think, but I guess ill put the full list of em in the OP soon.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Where did you guys download swype?
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
yeah, but there is also 3 builds of 1, 2 builds of another and I dunno how many of Kang's....just a thought really
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:

[Captivate Android Development] psai:
Icons

I'm sorry if this has already been posted previously in the thread, but is there any way to change certain icons, such as the browser icon and the status bar icons, to match the MIUI theme, because the stock GB icons don't match with the MIUI icons.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Here is the swype fix:

Install it like normal, all the way until you get the finish button. After that, reboot the phone and swype now works.

Note: If you change the kernel, you will have to uninstall swype and the swype installer and repeat the process again.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
I don't remember any stock GB icons with the Miui theme :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Browser icon you can change by applying a theme.

Status bar icons won't be changed until the actual MIUI developers change it.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Status meaning wifi and cell signal? ; )
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Ok I posted the kernels to the first post, if im missing one just tell me and ill add it.
[Captivate Android Development] Tchem:
where is the theme manager fix .zip?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
In the faq section.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Ok so there is a fix for external sd and apps, swype is working, theme manager working, and bln working.

Auto rotation still a problem, not sure if it be fixed without a captivate miui kernel. What else is out there?
[Captivate Android Development] stevrodriguez:
in beta 6, the home button is operating as the back button, and the back button dosent even work. any help?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Flash captivate cm7 kernel
[Captivate Android Development] stevrodriguez:
i already did that...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Which kernel
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No lock on first boot?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Idk...now it won't even flash.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
What is the error you are getting
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Ok, downloaded the one I just uploaded and it flashes. Not sure what happened...

Figured it out. Still haven't figured out the lockscreen issue.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
From the sound of things the difference between yours and mine is the speed fix and the updater script.

You copied over the framework res from the english pack, correct?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I think I know what the issue is.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Booting up. *crosses fingers*
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
What did you change
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Lockscreen! Yes!

I got rid of the default theme XD.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Hmmm that is odd
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I added a 07defaulttheme and got rid of the 06 one. The problem was the 07 didn't have any lockscreen files so that is why there was no lockscreen. And I tried replacing the 07 with the 06 and renaming it 07 (idk why) and it made my zip bad and wouldn't flash.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Got ya

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Honestly I wonder if we are better off building from the chinese release going forward. Obviously if the i9000 thread comes up with a fix we could implement it but this way we are not reliant in them
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
That was what I planned on doing earlier when the i9000 devs had that issue. But then I tried and couldn't get it to install. Now that I can, I think we should do that. That way we don't have to wait for them to upload it and then edit, speed up the process.

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I am running the last update but not prototypes package. Couple new features
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
I wonder if they fixed to where you can install any lock screen not just the lock screen that came with the miui. Example when I go to the theme selection they have other lock screens you can install with the clock and lock bar seperate but whenever I download the new theme it's the same default screen
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
What's your sms center number? Mine has changed, it is shorter.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
That was the old lockscreen, which majority of the themes haven't been updated to theme the new lockscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes it looks like what it used to be before miui
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You have to remember, most devices using miui are still on 2.2. Not many themes are fully 2.3 compatible
[Captivate Android Development] nooomoto:
I'm going to flash prototype's package as soon as TiBu is done.
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Will update OP and website later. The changelog is already on the website.
[Captivate Android Development] nooomoto:
Just flashed. So far so good. I'll report back after a few hours of use if I find anything. Also, my notification bar didn't come up in Chinese...just good ole' english.

Im running the new continuum gingerbread...would i have to flash back to stock to run miui?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
On the i9000 thread this is posted

3.2 Flashing from JVK to MIUI

You must first downgrade the firmware to Froyo (which MUST include a Froyo Bootloader - check in zip via WinRar for boot.bin and sbl.bin) It has been found that the Gingerbread bootloader has caused major problems. It is recommended that you downgrade to Eclair JM1 then upgrade to JS5 (files are avaliable on Galnet's Website) and then follow Galnet's MIUI guide to flash MIUI.

I am not sure if the gb boot loaders will give you issue

One click to stock should get rid of the boot loaders I believe
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Yes you would
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Beat me to it, and much more detailed :)
