The one thing i miss about CM7 on here is the multi-language keyboard. Is there any way to port the languages and keyboard from CM7 to this MIUI build?

Thanks!

I would really love to see miui4 just because I liked miui so much

Customization and feel are so perfect to me...just can't wait for the known issues to be resolved

So the CM7 recovery won't work. I installed the recovery and tried recovery mode like 7 times now and it's stuck on the "M". I pull the battery out power it on and plug it BACK in install recovery, recovery mode, and still no progress -_- I had MIUIv4 when I first got my DX2 in march, and this is the 3rd DX2 I've had and it's not working! >_<


[EDIT]

I wasn't aware of the "System Recovery" That we were suppose to use first. Maybe you should put it IN THE OP!!

Not sure about those bugs, i can record both still shots and video, no issues with sound either.

maybe its related to specific settings or flashing over other ROM vs full wipe prior to flash.

Can confirm this solved most of my issues including the sound skips while typing and a few fc issues. Sbf, re-root/bootstrap then install... also flash the rerecovery zip anytime u wipe data

I've still got two MAJOR issues with the rom - for some reason I get NO audio playing when I use Google Maps Navigation (voice nav on, volume max). In addition, several emulators (SNESoid, Gameboid, GBAoid), and apps (Shadowgun, Solipskier) crash when sound is enabled. Any one else have this issue? =/

Yes these are some issues that come with this rom, but that is why its still in beta. Cm7 just got a new update, give that a try

thanks, I wanted to make sure it was a rom issue, and not something i messed up during install.

one more question, since this rom and cm9 are ics based, will chrome for android run on the rom?

Cm9 nor miui that is ics bases has been released for our phone yet...although this version of miui does have some iva framework.from what I understand once dzk releases cm9 ace will work om having that for us a d then it should but as of now I believe it will not

I wonder what exactly Ace is going to improve (besides the obvious issues) when Cm9 hits.

From what i gathered i was under the impression that CM9 and MIUI will both be running ICS over their respective kernels - if so should we anticipate any significant differences between the 2 roms?

Freezing

This may have been posted earlier but i was wondering if anyone has expeirenced this rom just randomly freezing?

I am aware of the few voice and camera bugs but about once a day i have to pull the battery to get everything back working.

I did not have any issues freezing. It ran really smooth. I do have a Milestone x2 with Kernal 2.3.6. I do not know. I know I ran Eclipse 2.3.5 and my phone would always be freezing.... I do not know if that would make a difference or not.

    MIUI4DX2 Beta 1


    Bear with me for the awful quality of the screenshots. Screenshots crash the system server. Took these photos with my iPod Touch.

    To see the screenshots in large size, goto: http://imgur.com/a/n63L9

    This wouldn't have been here without the combined efforts of all the devs who worked on 2nd-init and CM7 so thanks to all and of course thanks to aceoyame (I DID NOT MAKE THIS AT ALL, JUST POSTING IT ON BEHALF OF ACEOYAME).

    Note:
    This requires Dragonzkiller's modified BSR (posted in CM7 thread and linked here for convenience).

    Includes:
    • Same Hardware working as CM7 i.e. CDMA/3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, Camera.
    • ICS Framework
    • MIUI US apps
    • MIUI Control panel
    • Black Ice theme default

    Known Issues:
    • MIUI's camera FC's on saving pictures. This release is using CM7's camera app which works
    • Screenshots are crashing system server
    • The Black Ice Theme may not apply fully on install. Just choose it in the theme manager after install and you should be good to go.
    • FM and HDMI is not working

    How to Install:
    1. Nandroid Backup
    2. SBF to 2.3.4 unless you are already there.
    3. Root your Motorola Droid X2.
    4. Install the Motorola Droid X2 Bootstrap Recovery (BSR).
    5. Put the MIUI4DX2 zip and the dragonzkiller's patched BSR apk on the external SD card.
    6. Boot into BootStrap Recovery.
    7. YOU MUST WIPE DATA AND CACHE! This has 4.0 framework and is very different from CM7's or any other ROM's 2.3.x framework.
    8. Install the MIUI4DX2 zip.
    9. IMPORTANT! Wipe data and cache (factory reset) and wipe dalvik cache!
    10. Boot your phone into MIUI. (You will probably have to activate if you didn't after you SBF'd and setup your Google account here.)
    11. Install the patched Motorola Droid X2 Bootstrap Recovery (BSR). (This can be found in the download section of this post. Once you have MIUI4DX2 installed, you MUST install this BSR!)
    12. Go into the Android Market and update the apps on the phone.
    13. Sit back and enjoy MIUI on your DX2!
    14. Never user RomManager! NEVER DELETE ANYTHING FROM PREINSTALL!


    NOTE: If you get a hang on the M after the install, it may be because you did not wipe data and cache. Try getting into stock recovery by having the phone off, pressing the Vol Down and Power Buttons until the "Fastboot" appears on your screen, scroll DOWN until you see the "Android Recovery" and press Vol Up. You will then see an android with an exclamation point. Press BOTH volume buttons and scroll down to "Wipe Data." Press the power button to select it and scroll down to "Yes" and select that. Then reboot and WAIT! The initial boot takes the longest. If this still doesn't work, THEN SBF and follow the directions above EXACTLY.

    Using the Patched Bootstrap Recovery With MIUI4DX2
    In order to get into recovery with MIUI4DX2 you ABSOLUTELY MUST download the patched BSR APK located in the download section of this post! There was a problem with the "hijack" name. It is conflicting with the CM7 hijack (MIUI uses CM7 hijack). NEVER install the original BSR while in MIUI4DX2! This is a guaranteed way to boot loop your phone! It might not boot loop the first couple of reboots, but it will... Eventually!

    Download:
    Put these on your EXTERNAL sd card.

    Patched BSR APK by dragonzkiller

    Stay tuned for upcoming releases:
    Next release will have added scripts, a few fixes and possibly working FM - via aceoyame twitter

    YOU CAN POST BUG REPORTS HERE, BUT IDEALLY PING ACEOYAME ON TWITTER @aceoyame.

    :( Maybe let dragonzkiller continue what he started? Not that I don't appreciate your work aceoyame but I mean dragonz releases updates quick and effectively...

    Thanks though :/

    Wow, have you ever had to do something like what Ace has been doing? He DOES have a full-time job and is married, so he's doing this on his own time in addition to balancing a work load and marriage.

    ACE is having to take MIUI code and get it working on a device it wasn't written for specifically. In the case of what he was having issues with, it's not open-source. Apparently, the MIUI team owns it and doesn't release the source, so he is at their mercy right now. And, with this not being an official MIUI release (just like CM7 isn't an official Cyanogenmod release), Ace has to rely on others to help out and not the MIUI team. It's not like he HASN'T been working hard at this.

    Seems a little ungrateful and it's that attitude that has caused other developers to leave XDA and not develop for Android phones.

    I can understand if you paid him to deliver you something, but considering he's doing this and not charging us a penny for it (only asking for donations), could we show him some more respect?

    Let's instead be grateful and thankful that he even got us a very functional and sustainable MIUI build.

    Not trying to belittle you or anything, but the post just came across wrong. If you meant no harm by it, then I apologize, but I've seen too many developers scared away when people make comments like what you just did.

    Just noticed that the top bar battery doesn't work either.

    Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium

    Easiest way to get top bar to work is

    1) Change to top bar in settings
    2) Go to the MIUI control panel app
    3) Change the color of the top bar under color settings
    4) Go back to Battery settings and click "Show battery" off and then on

    Then it should show up.

    FYI For everyone

    If you see Android System using quite a bit of battery (like on mine) you can use TiBU to freeze the app called "Telocation Provider". AFAIK this has something to do with the Chinese ROM and will not affect us or do anything good for us except drain battery. We use to disable it on my Captivate and Inspire.

    Also, apparently there is a wake lock issue and thats why Android OS is using 50% CPU on my phone lol.

    Just wanted to share a helpful tip for us Droid X2 MIUI users since a lot of the themes arent the right resolution for us. Maybe some of you could find this useful. There are also a lot of themes that have been converted by users in the thread already as well.

    Ok as posted in the older thread when sitting on the home screen and pressing the up volume rocker 2 to 3 time it causes a hot reboot, coupled with that the sound settings are taking effect or something because I get sound on and off on the system. example I have it set to click when selecting an item and it doesn't, however the unlock sound does work. The music player doesn't play, it gives you about 2 secs of play (no sound) and then stops. It doesn't FC or anything just doesn't work.

    I have tried a reboot to fix some of these with no luck.

    EDIT: Changing from the default theme fixed the sounds issues.

    Slim!
