Feel free to host a mirror. Where else should I upload? I figured dropbox and min.us were enough, but if you have a better place, let me know.

also, just a clarification, the 2.4.6 is all of marcusant's work. I just merely took phase 1 and 2 and combined them together. That man deserves all the credit ultimately.
I will drop a thanks on Marcusant too - so far all seems really good - but I am still not able to get THEMES to work completely - some things can be changed - some things won't - specifically, I can't seem to change Status Bar - which changes the notification toggles - battery icons and stuff - I went back to GB MIUI for a while and was really pleased with how much control you have with that version - I was hoping THEMES would have been fixed with this release - Marcusant had indicated he had a fix for themes a few days ago - said he was going to fix it later that day - then nothing - I realize he has a lot more to do with this life than worry that I can't change themes - but I was hoping it was going to be fixed.....

It did have 2 files, and I just combined them together. As far as I can tell, since i've been running it, my combined version runs just as good as 2.3.30.

Note: I never did install Marcusant's 2.4.6.

Yeah, don't combine them... just use system from the first zip.

Did you change the File (removing the 2nd file suggested by Marcussant?) if so - I will mirror the link for you to try to offer an alternative download - let me know

Yes - I am getting FC's on MIUI Home - but I use Nova Launcher - so it doesn't bother me - lol - the APEX launcher that is offered duing the install is also a cool launcher - you might try that one -

I will look into this some.

I found this file sharing site - http://www.sendspace.com/

when I uploaded the file you you posted last night it took me 15 minutes to download (after I had posted it there) much faster than the typical download from the other shared sites you have used latelly - which by the way is not your fault that they are so slow - not sure why they have been - tons of traffic maybe? Limited bandwidth? who knows - but the link I just gave you seems to work pretty well -

Good luck - are you posting an updated version? or is it already updated?

Alrighty, I will try that one. I don't have an updated version yet. Usually my only free time that i get to use to develop is friday/saturday night from midnight to 4/5 am. So, that's usually when I will update stuff..

Edit: I was spending too much time working on my phone in the past and not spending as much time with my wifey, so this is an easy balance, because i LOVE staying up till 4/5 on the weekends and have been doing it for years before i started my epic 4g development

I understand - I did just try downloading from the Drop Box mirror site you posted and it came thru much faster than the other download - but usually Drop Box limits the total number of downloads so I am not sure how long that link will last -

Looking forward to the updates - a little dissapointed that I am still having issues with THEMES - Marcussant said he had a fix for it in a recent post but it doesn't look like those fixes made it in to this version - unless I am wrong and missing something ? On the previous version of MIUI one of the first ICS versions - you could change Status Bar in the themes - but now, with all versions after 2.3.30 you cannot change status bar - I was hoping this was going to be fixed - ???

I tried this program 3 times last night and the only times I could get it to even boot was when I pre flashed the official release, but it would not work no matter what kernel I tried it would always display "miui home has stopped working" with a force close. So I guess it's back to the official release for now.

Yes - I am getting FC's on MIUI Home - but I use Nova Launcher - so it doesn't bother me - lol - the APEX launcher that is offered duing the install is also a cool launcher - you might try that one -

after using this installer i also got miui home fc's...as well as android keyboard, acore (which i believe is contacts) and phone fc's, over an over, switched to apex launcher and that took care of the miui home fc's, but still got the other ones. made it impossible to do much of anything. i tried fixing permissions via rom manager and the latest super charger script via script manager and the fixfc command via terminal em.. i also tried rebooting into recovery and running fix permissions there, as well as reinstalling and then doing a full wipe and reinstalling. same deal every time. when i decided to flash aokp, i only wiped cache (both) and got the same issues on aokp, same fc's, except for miui home of course. so had to do a full wipe and flash aokp. i didnt think to run any logcats, it was late, i was frustrated, so i just gave up. if it will help the devs for me to flash again, right down exactly what happens, and get logcats for you, i will do so. just let me know what you need me to do.

hopefully we can get this bad boy going strong. i really like this method of flashing new roms and kernels and hope it catches on with other devs. great job death, marcus, and anyone else involved in this program and MIUI 4 keep up the good work, and let me know anything i can do to assist you.

PS: and sorry if i missed the answer to this, but has anyone flashed the two-part version of 2.4.6 that marcusant (i think) posted a while back, the one where you flash one part, then flash phase2 afterwards? does it work? is it stable? I really wanna check out this rom again. I love the gb version, and would really like to see what functionality has been added in this latest version as i didnt have the best experience with the last version (2.3.23).

I think i might have figured out part of the issue... at least the MIUI home issue. I think the MIUI Home is an old one.... I updated the rom, but I forgot to pull out the MIUI home as an addition and replace the old one. Hopefully that will fix that issue and maybe a few others. I still need to fix wiping. It currently only wipes cache/dalvik. If i can get a full wipe working then that should fix a good number of the FCs because people will be able to just have it do a proper full wipe.

My goal for this weekend is to simply fix the MIUI home FCs and hopefully fix the wiping as well. Gonna be pretty busy, so I'm going to set my sights low and hopefully I can over achieve.

Edit: Ohh... and start mirroring on: http://www.sendspace.com/

So what hapened to your builder and can that be used to build new MIUI 2.4.13 from Nexus or Fascinate?

It still exists, but MIUI changed a lot with 2.4.6 cause they now use ICS 4.0.4 and I just haven't had the time to make the modifications to the builder to catch up. Marcusant told me a few days ago what to do, just haven't been able to do it yet.

    What is this?
    This is a zip file that you will flash through CWM that allows you to install and customize MIUI v4. Once you choose the zip in CWM you are presented with a GUI that will allow you to select the kernel you want as well as what extra apps you would like installed, including what launcher you want. Once you have chosen all of your extras then it will install MIUI v4 with those options included. Right now it is very basic, but I keep adding options week by week.

    Current Version
    Version Beta 5 - 6/10/2012 (hosting provided by Marcusant) min.us mirror
    Normally I run these through the paces, but I won't have time to test this. Let me know if any problems occur.

    Instructions

    If comming from any version of MIUI ICS:
    • Always make a backup
    • Flash with CWM
    • Follow the on screen instructions
    • Button Configuration:
    • Up/Down = Volume Keys
    • Accept/OK = Camera Key
    • Back = Soft Touch Back Button
    • Touch screen works for the non-button items

    If you are currently not on ICS MIUI use the following instructions provided by rootxda
    1. Flash back to Stock after making backup...I flashed back to FC09 not deodoxed. Let Reboot
    2. Flash Clockwork Mod
    3. Once it goes back to CWM, then I converted BML to MTD. This will leave you in a bootloop. Pull Battery....Three Finger Salute, then
    4. Flash another MIUI rom first, once it loads up completely like everyday use, turn off phone.
    5. Then go back to CWM and flash v4
    6. It seemed to flicker to me at first, but keep screen on and run a couple minutes. Then Modifiy to your Desires!!

    Known Bugs

    • All currently known bugs should be fixed.

    Suggestions
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    If you managed to come across a bug, which at this point wouldn't surprise me, let me know and I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

    Oh and of course, the usual jargon that I am not responsible if you somehow managed to mess up your phone or for that matter your computer.

    If there are any apps or other things you would like included, just let me know, I would like to accomodate as many people as i can.

    Thanks

    Once a new Epic MIUI gets an official release, I'll do a huge update that will fix most if not all of the issues that some people seem to be having.

    You should be able to take a currently installed MIUI and overwrite it with this just fine. I for some reason can't seem to make it work without needing MIUI installed to begin with, but I think the next big update for our MIUI will help with solving this issue.

    As for the beats... I'll look into including that. My end goal is to be able to include crap loads of mods like that so people can customize their MIUI experience as little or as much as they want.
