It's really hard to say :\

If you have a problem with freshly installed apps then maybe I can try to install and reproduce it. But if you have problem with restored apps then the best I can do is to read the logcat (if you could provide one) and see what happened.

I just realized that in the latest version [2.4.20] dalvik-cache is located at /data (previously /cache).
Did you do this on purpose? because previously I saw the script at init.d to move dalvik-cache to /cache.

Thanks

Interesting, I don't see this as a big problem, it's certainly not a deal breaker anyway, but I am just curious whether this ROM would be updated to newest miui this week, or have to wait til next orange Friday :)

oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S!

Actually it's simple, just put script below at init.d folder

Code:
#!/system/bin/sh

if [ ! -d /cache/dalvik-cache ]
then
	busybox rm -rf /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
	mkdir /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
fi

busybox chown 1000:1000 /cache/dalvik-cache
busybox chmod 0771 /cache/dalvik-cache

busybox mount -o bind /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
busybox chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache
busybox chmod 0771 /data/dalvik-cache

    [SIZE="+2"]FAQ[/SIZE]
    I always get a reboot when mounting USB storage?
    There's a bug in MIUI 4 with app2SD. If there is an application installed on SD card and you try to mount the USB storage, MIUI will crash. An example of such application is XDA app. Currently a workaround is to move the application to phone's internal storage by going to Settings > Apps > USB Storage, select the application and click "Move to phone" button. (Note that you may get a hot reboot) After that, do a normal reboot before trying to mount USB storage. This problem was fixed in MIUI 2.2.17.

    Can you translate this ROM to <language>?
    No I cannot translate it. But if you can provide a link to a translated MIUI 4 ROM (latest version is preferred), I can grab the translation from there and include it in this ROM.

    I get an orange text bubble near notification bar saying "New notification received bla bla bla" and I cannot use my keyboard anymore?
    It is MIUI way to introduce some features of their ROM on first installation. Just swipe down the notification area and clear any notifications there. After that your keyboard should work properly.

    Why shouldn't I install a language pack from different version of MIUI?
    A language pack is basically all system applications and frameworks with translation added to them. If you install a language pack from a different (e.g. older) version, it means you're running older applications and frameworks against newer libraries, modules, etc. It may work if you're lucky, but the worst that could happen is your phone won't be able to boot properly and you will have to re-flash the ROM.

    What is Auto-dim backlight? (quoted from Peter Alfonso's FAQ)
    Unfortunately, automatic brightness in stock ROMs is only half functional. To further explain, automatic brightness will ONLY get brighter, not dimmer, depending on your surroundings. For example, if you were to be reading a Droid-Life article on your device outside in bright sunlight, your screen would be very bright. If you continued to read (leaving your screen on the entire time) while you walked into your house which is very dark because you left the lights off, the screen would remain being very bright. With the "Auto-dim backlight" setting enabled, your screen would be able to dim back to the appropriate level when you walked into your dark house.
