Version 1.6.3 now up, check first post. As I wrote on the second post, I changed the bluetooth audio.conf, so please report any problems.

I keep having soft reboots when verifying my phone number in WhatsApp Messenger :(

Don't know if it could help, but I added a logcat.

Cool ROM!

2 things, though:

1. Do I need to install English pack after the rom? I still see some chinese..
2. Where can i find gmaps, etc? I can't download them from market cuz I'm not in the US.

Hi,

I've just given a try of your QND version (normally I use the one from miuiandroid.com).
Not bad man... Good work.

Thanks and regards,

Timmoty

From what I've seen in XJ's Desire thread, this is unfortunately a problem with the latest MIUI ROMs, and there is no fix yet. :(

Edit: As you've probably found out by now, this is due to the superuser application. If you go there and set the accesses asked by whatsapp to always allow it will no longer crash

2. Where can i find gmaps, etc? I can't download them from market cuz I'm not in the US.

Where do you see Chinese text? I'm running usually the Portuguese translation, and the only place I see Chinese is the SMS send button if I change the theme (it is a image, and is supplied by the theme).

As for gmaps, gmail, etc., they seem to have disappeared from the market this weekend. I was seeing them, and usually with something like "Market Access" I can fool market into thinking I am in the US, and even like that they won't appear. In the meantime you can get the latest Gingerbread gapps from Cyanogen and flash it on top of this.

Edit: I need to retract myself - it seems that the gapps availability in the market is correlated to the build.prop. My wife's ZTE Blade shows these apps. I've already tried pushing the build.prop with the "correct" fingerprint and description, but it wasn't enough. When I finally nail it down I'll put the build.prop here (so you can push it with adb) and will update the ROM also.

I am going crazy here trying different build.prop files, without being able to see gmail, google maps, etc. on the market. I am pretty sure this worked last week, and also the strangest thing is that CM7 build.prop doesn't change anything here. On CM7 I can see the google apps, on MIUI no.

After installing 1.6.3 on top of 1.5.27 with Whatsapp installed, it works fine:)
I did a clean install at first, so I won't be doing that again!

Good! So it seems it is only the activation of Whatsapp that is broken.

On the google apps/market issue I am having lots of strange problems with the market. Apps like tripit that show in my apps, give "not found" when I click on them, and still update if I do a "update all". I'll have to check wiping my ROM and installing from scratch on my N1, but would like to know if any of you are having a similar problem with this or other MIUI ROMs?

Well, as I suspected, my market problems were solved with a full wipe and reinstall, so any of you not able to see gmail or google apps on the market, try first market enabler, then if that doesn't work, a full wipe.

I don't have any issues with the market after going from 1.5.27 to 1.6.3. Only thing I did was wipe Dalvik cache.
I installed Whatsapp on a fresh/clean/wiped 1.5.27, then updated to 1.6.3 and then installed all my other apps, including all the google apps without a problem :)

Only when I try to acces settings in my browser I get a FC.. And when I try to change my trackball notification color in system settings, it FC's too. Don't know if these are known FC's? Or maybe I'm just being unlucky:(

Strange, I can access the settings in the browser and the trackball colour without any FC. Maybe the full wipe helped here? I am also finding that the MIUI backup works very well, even restoring most of my settings.

Hi,

I have been using this rom for past 4 days and its very stable with no issues at all. Thanks for the rom. I have one question, There is an app in the rom called MIUI CM updater, can you please provide more details in what this app does? I have not seen this app on any other MIUI mods.

Thanks!

That app is from XJ multi-language pack, and is used to do Over The Air (OTA) updates to the ROM. I must say I don't know if I'll ever be able to do that for this ROM - right now I am still fighting apktool trying to edit the framework to enable 3G voip, and even if I can rebuild it without errors, the new one will bootloop like crazy, so there is still a lot I need to learn.

New version is up, check first post!

Hopefully when the second release of the language pack is available it will include a fixed ThemeManager with the full translations, for now the one I applied to fix the FCs seems to be in English only.

    Attention: Development for this ROM has stopped. I depended on MIUI releases, and since they stopped releasing for the N1 with version 2.3.30/GB, that is the last I can use. I am releasing R4 as I had promised to fix a few last bugs, but it is now very likely the last one. I don't have the time, and I don't have the N1 any more (it is my wife's now).

    Hello all,
    My idea with this ROM is to keep it lean and fast, with some tunings but no theming, and with minimal additions (the list is below). I hope you like it.

    This ROM started as a no-frills, as near to the basic MIUI as it can be, multi-language ROM. I've made it for myself and have been using this ROM and decided to upload it in case anyone else is interested. In the beginning, it was basically only the Chinese deodexed ROM with the XJ multi-language pack applied, and the build.prop edited and tuned for our N1. No theming, no apps apart from those in the MIUI ROM and the multi-language pack.
    I've since added a changed bluetooth audio.conf from here, roenano's 4-way reboot menu (original and credits here), a tuned media_profiles.xml for better photo quality, and the Genie widget for news and meteorology. I use all of these, and they have made my life easier, so I hope they will help you also.
    Should be usable with only a cache and dalvik-cache wipe if coming from another MIUI ROM. In case of problems, just wipe everything a few times before flashing - and use AmonRa's recovery.
    I will update it every week after the XJ multi-language pack is updated.

    2.3.30r4 released.

    • Used an updated apktool that should avoid the errors found previously on the translations.
    • Fixed the alarm clock in English, tested and it finally doesn't FC.
    • Added what Romanian translations there were in XJ (it is quite incomplete).
    • Added the extended settings mod.
    • More fixes to the translations
    • Finally fixed the alarm clock FC (and possibly also the reboot on superuser, needs more tests)
    • Once again updated Gmail, Play Store and MX Browser
    • Beats audio is back on the odex version
    • Small translation related issues fixed
    • Reverted the A2SD and deodexed XPART versions to "no beats audio". Since adding Beats Audio makes the ROM too large for a "normal" HBOOT, the only version with it is the one that already needed a changed HBOOT - the odexed XPART version.
    • Some changes on 2.3.23 - in an attempt to fix the "superuser reboot" bug, I stopped using directly XJs apks, and instead now use the ones directly from MIUI and add the translations. You'll notice that the default theme now is the original MIUI one. Unfortunately, my N1 will still reboot if some app needs to access SMS or an incoming call and only has "ask always" in superuser.
    • Due to the changes in 2.3.23, please do a full wipe and flash. Don't try to upgrade an existing QND MIUI as it will loop. Please use MIUI Backup, or Titanium, or whatever you prefer to backup and restore your apps.
    • Now with Beats Audio!
    • Updated the Italian translation from Nexus-lab.
    • Odexed XPART ROM available, but will need a changed hboot. Look up Blackrose on the N1 development forum, and change your hboot to 220 system,15 cache. If you don't understand this phrase, stay away from this version.
    • More dalvik "optimizations" removed, as apparently they now break MIUI.
    • Had a wrong dalvik setting in the tweaks file that finally gave me a huge headache getting xpart working. Fixed.
    • Speeded up boot a little, as the sqlite optimization is now launched asynchronously.
    • Finally fixed a long standing bug on XPART, from Rod's time; you can now wipe dalvik-cache in 4Ext or in CWM recoveries without going into a boot loop. In fact, I now can recommend 4Ext, as Amon Ra's recovery hasn't been updated in a long time, and 4Ext is very much feature complete.
    • Persian translation
    • vold mod, to allow fast usb transfers again
    • MX Browser (alongside the default Miren browser)
    • Removed libsqlite fix, since sqlite was updated by MIUI.
    • 4-way reboot mod. Vol-skip + 4-way reboot again. Vol-skip was missing the full 4-reboot, so this version only has 4-way reboot menu Both mods haven't been updated, and cause boot loops.
    • Removed user apps with libs - Terminal, Titanium Backup. Unfortunately support for flashing user apps in the ROM with MUIU seems broken for now, at least for apps that include libs.
    • Full MIUI changelog here.
    • ATTENTION: root access now needs to be explicitly enabled in the superuser application. Press the menu key then choose settings to enable root access for "new" apps. Apps that already had root permissions (if you're upgrading) will keep them even with this setting disabled, so you can probably keep it disabled most of the time.
    • Some more tuning, now from knzo - here

    XPART
    From 1.8.12, there are big changes in the XPART variant! If you had the previous one, up to 1.8.7, please do a backup and a full wipe (5 full wipes to make sure :) ) before installing the new ROM.
    The new XPART is based on Rodriguez XPART, instead of xavierjohn22 version; since Rod based his work in XJ, it is still a derivative, but it has a lot of changes. The most important ones are that the partitions are mounted as loop devices, increasing speed. To add reliability, I've enabled journaling (and for those who tested my scripts between 1.8.5 and 1.8.12 journaling could be enabled or not depending on the previous ROM).
    If you don't know XPART is a Data2SD variant that is reputed to be fast and stable.
    You can use it with one FAT32 and one ext4 partition, as A2SD, which seems to be the more stable setup, but the recommended setup for speed is one FAT32, one large ext4 (for your data partition), one smaller ext4 (cache), and a swap partition. I'm not that much of a fan of a swap partition, as I am always afraid it will wear out the SD card precociously, but most people report it working well, and I prefer the single ext4 for stability, but YMMV.
    There is a great howto by docmjldds in the Rod ROM thread.
    Just remember, XPART isn't as widely used as A2SD, and might be less mature. As always, I take no responsibility for any problems.
    ATTENTION: XPART will wipe your ext4 partition(s) if it doesn't recognize the format, that is, if it doesn't find a couple of special files that identify it.

    ATTENTION: I can't give much support to the XPART versions, as my N1 doesn't like them, starting to heat a lot and ending up by corrupting the SD card. My uSD card died recently, and I got a Sandisk 32GB class 4. It is faster than the Patriot class 10 I had, and XPART seems to be very stable with it.

    I'll keep doing the A2SD ROMs, my aim is to make these two very similar, only differing in the specific scripts.

    Contributions
    A very special thank you to:

    Recommended kernels:
    Wildmonk's - besides being great in performance and power saving, it seems to be the only kernel right now that works with wifi channels 12 and 13 besides the stock ones in CM7 and MIUI.

    Fixes/patches:


    Lockscreen themes:
    Configure XJ server in CM updater for English lockscreen themes. Just add the following as the theme server address:
    Code:
    http://www.htcfanboys.com/MIUIXJ/ota/miuixj_lock.json
    SD Card Alignment:
    For extra speed, check this guide on how to partition your sdcard if you haven't done it before. For those with windows, you can always boot a live cd to use linux to align your sdcard. The alignment of data structures on your SD card should give you better speed and less "hickups" when writing.
    Or save yourself the trouble, and repartition (after doing a backup on your pc) your sd card with 4Ext, it has the full functionality and is very simple to use. Can even keep your fat32 partition undisturbed and create/change the ext and swap partition(s).

    2.3.23 released, please backup, wipe, and then flash. Don't upgrade an existing QND, it will probably bootloop.
    Changelog from the first page:

    • Due to the changes in 2.3.23, please do a full wipe and flash. Don't try to upgrade an existing QND MIUI as it will loop. Please use MIUI Backup, or Titanium, or whatever you prefer to backup and restore your apps.
    • Now with Beats Audio!
    • Updated the Italian translation from Nexus-lab.

    Known Problems:

    • 1.10.23 - various users on the Desire report that sharing to facebook deletes the picture from the gallery. This doesn't happen with google+.
    • Backup doesn't work on 1.8.5. Flash this zip, it is the fix from XJ with a N1 build.prop.
    • Market FCs (with 1.7.22/6) - happens to some users living in non-English speaking countries but using the English translation. The "fix" is to change to language (apparently any other will do), open the market (shouldn't FC), leave it 5 minutes, then change back to English.
    • a2sd won't work properly on a clean install (after a full wipe); this is "inherited" from the original MIUI ROM. Two workarounds are possible, either run "a2sd repair" from a terminal or adb shell, or flash DarkTremor's A2SD on top of the ROM.

      [*] Theme Manager FCs on 1.6.10. Installed the Updater.apk fix from 1982Strand, so there might be some strings in English.


      [*] Some translations are incomplete in 1.6.10, will upload a new version when the new release of the language pack is available.


      [*]1.5.20 V1 - The default desktop, also when installing after a full wipe, is missing MIUI backup, clock, superuser, and some other apps. This seems to be due to the integration of the Multi-Language pack. The workaround for this is to install the deodexed ROM, boot, reboot into recovery, and install QND on top of it. Will see if I can fix it for next release.
      - Fixed, uploaded V2

    Do you plan on continuing to update this ROM? And does anyone know how to center the clock in the status bar? Thanks! (I've been using this ROM for some time and was just wondering what's coming up).
    I'll take the opportunity and do a quick status. I have an ICS port booting, but crashing on the settings app. Seems a small thing to fix, but I spent almost all weekend on it. But might be close...
    I have a "update" of the GB ROM planned, at least to add the English translations and an updated GMail. Still no date on that, as I spent all my free time trying to get ICS working.
    And if MIUI releases an updated GB ROM, or even their own ICS port, of course I'll release an update then.
