I tried installing this over the UK 2.2.2 SBF but it resulted in a boot loop, I know that I need the UK or EURO 2.3.4 but the SBFs are uploaded to MultiUpload which is down, any ideas on where I can get the UK 2.3.4 SBF? :)

2G doesn't work on Mobile network settings? Try disable/reenable Data.
I could port just the lockscreen part, so i will port other themes from miui and will be available on Magibox app

Great abt the themes. Will be waiting for the themes to be available in Magicbox.

It is not that only data does not work on 2G, there is no cell reception at all when you switch to 2G.

ive tried this rom and its working well on my milestone 2 UK retail.. just gonna ask if magicbox is fully ported to milestone 2? and I've tried the boot sounds, choose some default like pirates and it doesn't work.. do i need to download those boot sound or it is built-in to magicbox? I also tried boot animation and whenever i select any boot animation and it reboots I only get the ANDROID boot animation.. same as always even i choose the applekiller and any of the boot animation available. is it working?

Edit: Also noticed that maps is nowhere to find.. its not included on this build or it is on my phone only?

Did you try switching basebands? Works perfectly for me

Wow!! This is the first time baseband switcher has actually worked for me, never did in the past. I have always manually replaced the files inside bp_nvm_default. That did not work this time, so I assumed that baseband won't work either. It is all fine now.. Thanks Santi.

Hoping to see some new themes soon!

And abt the lockscreen, can't you use the MiLocker (from MIUI team) from market instead of porting the MIUI themes engine for the locker?? I mean, won't that be easier? I have no idea about this, I just want to know your opinion.

Santi,
Thanks alot for your work on the ROM. This version seems very speedy and the GUI changes are great.

Unfortunately, I seem to be having a major problem playing music - either from the stock player or from PlayerPro app. The problem is such that, when playing music and the screen turns off, the phone automatically reboots - everytime wihout fail.
I installed direct from 2.3.4 UK ROM and using a data wipe. I've tried this by playing through a widget and without and gut instinct tells me that the MIUI lockscreen may be the culprit here. Have you any ideas? Is there a way to get rid of the MIUI lockscreen? Are other people experiencing the same problem?

The reboot is caused by the problem with stock lockscreen, set any theme and it will be ok.
www.miuithemes.com
place mtz to /sdcard/MIUI/Theme
Start Theme app -> Customize -> Lockscreen -> Choose desired theme. Done

Combo Tweaker now available at Magicbox, update the app. This feature allows you to configure the combokeys, full keyboard to use.

Can someone post some guideline on how to install this ROM?
I have 2.2.2 on the phone and from santie's post it says to install this when on 2.3.4...

When I see this on and-developers.com then I am confused:
"2.3.4 Service Version

*Warning! It's NOT POSSIBLE TO DOWNGRADE back to Froyo (or custom rom) AFTER FLASHING 2.3.4 SBF below (except China one). Use nandroid backup instead, if you want 2.3.4 and have possibility of future downgrade!*"

So if I just install SBF I can forget to install Argen 3.0 unless I use nandroid backup, but how to use nandroid backup with factory SBF?
On top of everything Multiupload doesn't work so I can't even get 2.3.4 SBF.

Any help would be appreciated, I've been waiting for this ROM for over a month now and can't wait to install it!
Thanks!!!

It's now possibly to downgrade to Froyo from Stock UK, there's a topic that explains how here in the forum, only the 2.3.6 roms from Vivo (Brazil) and Personal (Argentina) are unrootable/undowngradeable right now. Get the 2.3.4 UK sbf, apply it, then follow the tutorial from the first page and you're good to go.
