Cool.. .you're saying the SMS/MMS issue will be resolved with the new build? I was quietly hoping that the issue would be fixed with 1.3.18, as I HATE HATE HATE trying to remember that I can only type so many characters in a text!

I have seen evidence that a 193 character text will work so I would say that part is fixed. I use GVoice, so I don't recall what other issues people were having with SMS/MMS.

1. I was able to restore all of my most important apps via Titanium, but not through batch, only one at a time. I ended up restoring 50 just to test it out. Not a single FC, issue, or hiccup.

2. I restored app data on several (where I really wanted it, basically Mint, Bar Tender, Facebook, Dropbox, Sugarsync, Sorami, etc.) again without any issues.

3. I don't use MyBackup, but I was able to restore my system backup from MIUI 1.3.18 FroYo without any issues.

4. Absolutely critical to do a full wipe with the works (CLEAR_TEMP, FORMAT_ALL, recovery wipe everything, etc.)

5. CM Camera works (front and rear), MIUI Camera no FFC, video works on both, and FB sync with contacts works for me.

Everything that this ROM offers is working perfectly for me (Swype, GPS, SMS, VVM, Wireless Tether, Theme Manager, MIUI Weather, MIUI ROM Downloader). I have only one complaint, battery life blows. I came from savage 1.6 so I doubt I knew I would have to get used to less battery life. Hopefully someone will develop a kernel that matches the 1.6 (on my phone).

I really believe the key for my success was in absolute OCD inspired wiping, flashing and then LEAVING THE PHONE ALONE for a hour or so.

After that, I played around with it and did minor setup, installed a few critical apps (Titanium, ROM Manager, Terminal and VVM) and then just let it settle in. I rebooted a couple of times during that period.

Then I slowly introduced some restored apps from Titanium, downloaded and flashed a theme and did a nandroid. Once I had around 20 apps restored, I restored my MIUI System Backup, did another nandroid and finished setting everything up (all accounts, settings, apps, DTa2sd, etc.) No persistent issues whatsoever. Had to do a GPS fix (## menu on sense) and had to reinstall Swype (took about 30 seconds) and that is about it as far as "fixing" anything.

If anyone has any doubts, I can share screens of everything working. I don't feel like I will have to complete this process everytime I flash a new release, but I do believe it is critical for success coming from FroYo to GB.

My advice, don't mess around with 1.3.18 anymore, just wait for tomorrow's release and then do what I did (above) and I am confident you will have a flawless (near flawless for some, bug ridden for the lazy LOL) running MIUI v1.3.25!! :D
I think many people think the Battery Life blows because they don't realize the stock kernel is no longer SBC....not saying you don't know. But once I put an SBC kernel on, things were just as good as I remember them previously.

Ok ever since 3.18 dropped I've read thru the post and haven't found the issues I'm about to bring up so please forgive me if im overlooking any posts.

3 issues to be exact.

1. When I'm on the phone during a call and I get another incoming call there is no option to answer it whether its a button or a slide maneuver. I just have to let it go to VM, hang up with the first person in order to call the other person back.

2. Video recording: Any camera app I use (CM or MIUI), when played back it is the most choppiest video ever, about 3 frames a sec. Even if I record a slow pan from side to side it still looks like crap. (Neglecting the fact that even stock Evo had random bumps during recording playback).

3. Crap, im trying to remember... umm I guess the next release might answer the problem. A minor problem for me I guess would be the music app. I think this has less options. Before, when u hit the skip back it would start the track from the top, this version skips back to last track.

4. Blah I remembered the 3rd problem. When in the dial pad, if you for instance started typing "mom". I have 3 numbers for her, ans it shows the numbers to jump straight to. When u touch the appropriate number it will always take u to the contact info and you have to touch the number once more to call it. What's up with that. Even people that only have one number programmed, why will it always take you to the contact info by default. Anyway to change that?

Thanks in advanced!

To everyone who has installed the freshest build of Gingerbread MIUI (1.3.25) is anyone experiencing problems with gmail? I noticed the app wasn't included in this week's build so I downloaded from the market again and it refuses to open. Whenever I try to open it I get a force close.

I have the same issue going on as well and tried downloading it from the market too with no avail....the only way to access it at this point is through your browser. Not too sure how the new Tiamat kernel will work, I tried it a couple of days ago and the darn thing zapped all my battery twice. I may just flash 1.3.1 which is more stable and better battery life.

Do we do clean install with this or flash over with just Cache/Dalvik wipe?

Thanks

eins

right above download link...

stiffspliff said:
That said, lets get to the download link
You must wipe EVERYTHING before flashing this if you are coming from 2.2 - this isn't a simple weekly update from 2.2, but a full new build based off of 2.3.

If you are coming from last weeks 2.3 build, only a cache/dalvik-cache wipe is needed (although the updater script wipes these for you, so technically you don't even have to wipe... :p)

is the white text problem fixed? I saw it was still listed in the description of the rom

It was fixed for SetCPU for me, but when I long pressed to reply to your post, I noticed that the menu text was white, and on a light gray background, it's kind of hard to read.

Unless someone else can give a more definitive answer, I'd say it's fixed for apps, but there's a new white text problem in menus. It'll probably be fixed in next week's release.

I should say that I applied a theme, but that doesn't change text color.

3.25 fixed my FC using AIM.

Copying files over USB is still very slow. When I copied over the new rom (I was using 3.18) it took about 6 minutes to copy the 70 mb file. 3.25 seems to be the same.

Slow USB = known issue with 2.6.37 kernels. There is an app people use to work around this, but the name escapes me. Or reboot into recovery to move files around.

    Presents the Official

    MIUI RELEASE



    Donate to the man responsible to the EVO Gingerbread Build: StiffSpliff

    StiffSpliff NEVER asked me to do this but we have to show some respect for his time. Donations keep Dev's from having to charge for sites and other things you see other Dev's doing now a days

    I am not connected to these Paypal account's at all in fact I've only donated to it! Linked straight to StiffSpliff aka the man behind this​

    IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT​

    Welcome to the Original XDA support thread for the MIUI HTC EVO 4G and the Official XDA support thread for the MIUI.US version of the HTC EVO 4G port!

    MIUI is an extraordinary ROM presented and ported all over the world. We are a worldwide family and this thread supports all HTC EVO 4G MIUI global users. Recent changes have led to the development of two separate HTC EVO 4G MIUI ports. In the interest of providing the most relevant and highest quality support, this thread offers specific support for the ORIGINAL version of the MIUI HTC EVO 4G ROM, which resides at MIUI.US. We will continue to discuss and support general questions about MIUI, however; if you are using the MIUI-devs version of the HTC EVO 4G port and need specific help with that port, we recommend posting your questions in the MIUI-devs home thread. Of course we would welcome you to join us on the Original port here at XDA or at MIUI.US.

    As this XDA thread is comprised primarily of original MIUI users running the MIUI.US port it may be difficult for most of us to trouble shoot for a different version. With that stated, MIUI.US is built on cooperation, community and inclusion and we will do our best to assist any and all MIUI enthusiast regardless of port version, release date or handset. MIUI.US is the continuation of a tradition and a new beginning for MIUI on the HTC EVO 4G. Welcome to our community, we are glad you are here and hope you will join us in building the best community on the net!

    Your XDA-MIUI.US HTC EVO 4G support team [Stiffspliff, Tyzing, EndlessDissent, Jasonk75 and Just_s & Manup for his amazing graphics, themes and our banner]

    Kernel Info: Generally MIUI uses the CM7 stock kernel. Of course others can be used. For more info on the CM7 kernel and CM7 visit: http://bit.ly/z3Cz2O



    [BUGS] Official Bugs Report Thread [GB][Fresh Start]



    Unable to download from market

    Solution: Open the "downloads" app from your homescreen, hit menu, and select download using wifi network. Then hit menu again, and re-select download using mobile network.


    No 4G
    /WIMAX

    Stop Asking, its in the works :) PS Stop asking :)


    The illegible text bug (3rd party apps)

    Solution: This is due to the Chinese devs at miui.com slowly implementing the new UI.
    (using root explorer as an example)
    Go to menu - settings - programs - manage applications - root explorer
    Scroll down to "Compatibility mode" and toggle.
    This will make root explorer usable.
    This workaround may not work on all apps!
    It's annoying, yes, but it's what we have at the moment.


    Screen flashing black/white when scrolling

    Solution: Toggle compatibility mode for that app. If it's on, turn it off. If it's off, turn it on.

    No 720P video

    Waiting for the Chinese to implement this. Or for CM to implement this. Currently not available on any cm7 or miui supported phone.

    Some apps force closing i.e. Engadget, Mint.com, (tried uninstalling and re installing from market)

    Solution: try running in compatibility mode, some apps are not 2.3 ready.

    No FM Radio App

    Solution: None Yet

    GPS Menu Settings GPS Fix (Just_s Guide)


    menu-settings-personal-my location
    use wireless networks - ON (your wifi must be on, doesn't have to be connected)
    use gps satellites- ON
    see of gps works, if not, go back to same menu
    go to gps configuration
    in NTP server address, add a 0. in front, to make it 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
    supl server address: supl.google.com
    supl server port: 7276
    hit ok

    **If you are in the US you can alternately set the NTP SERVER ADDRESS to us.pool.ntp.org. Elsewhere in North America should leave it as stiffspliff recommends above. Other countries should see this link: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html and note the 4th paragraph.

    GPS Status & Toolbox Fix

    Download 'GPS Status & Toolbox' from Market
    Enable GPS
    Open GPS Status & Toolbox
    Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Reset
    Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Download
    Menu > Tools > Compass calibration > follow popup directions

    I know that these have helped several users and are much simpler and faster than the ##GPSCLRX# fix so they can be a good place to start.

    MIUI In The News

    MIUI is far from a "basement app" here is some news from MIUI:

    http://technode.com/2011/04/14/rumour-lei-jun’s-miui-android-rom-teams-up-with-guess-who/

    Lei Jun is ex-Kingsoft CEO (like Microsoft), co-founder of Joyo.com (sold to Amazon), now Chairman of Great Wall Club and Angel Investor. His newer product, MIUI under his start-up Xiaomi, is stirring rumours about an OEM partnership.

    MIUI is a 3rd party Android ROM tailored for the Chinese market. Think about it like a layer on top of your Windows OS on your computer, to make it more customised and personal, but on mobile. From their website it says it enables faster dialling, better security and a big library of themes and skins.

    Last weekend at a developer conference there was some chatter about MIUI partnering with a big OEM. We can speculate it could be with Samsung, Motorola or LG because all are bringing their Android phones into the Chinese market. We have reason to suspect the OEM partner is Motorola because as an American based OEM, they know less about Chinese user behaviour compared to Korean based Samsung or LG. It has also been reported that Dianxin, another Android ROM incubated under Innovation Works is partnering with Sharp. Motorola needs to make a good impression to stand out in China, where competition with other Android phone’s is fierce


    http://technode.com/2011/01/13/why-xiaomi-raised-35millions-to-design-a-real-phone/

    Xiaomi is an iPhone/Android development company invested by Lei Jun, the board chairman of UCWeb, the leading Chinese mobile browser; ex-executive director of Kingsoft; co-founder of Joyo.com which is sold to Amazon at 2004. We used to report that,

    Xiaomi has raised another round of $35million from Morningside Venture and Qiming Venture partner. The valuation of Xiaomi is reported at $200million.

    $200million valuation?! Seriously, as an iPhone/Android development company, Xiaomi is able to attract that much of attention and money, which sounds insane. I could not get it, until yesterday two friends both confirmed with me, Xiaomi is not just about designing mobile applications, but designing a phone, I mean a real phone.

    Looking at Lei Jun’s recent investment, I am totally impressed,

    UCWeb – the leading Mobile browser (our previous coverage);
    Xiaomi – one of the most promising iPhone/Android development company which already released several applications including Xiaomi Reader (iBooks like) and Miliao (a copycat of Kik);
    MIUI – Android-based mobile OS;
    Xiaomi Phone?!
    So Lei Jun has the mobile operating system, the browser and the applications, once there is a nice phone, he actually is able to reach all the important sectors in future’s mobile phone industry. Smart!

    The rumor says that the phone will come into the market in Q3, 2011. Is Lei Jun building a Chinese Apple?
