you said that genie widget is added for lockscreen weather? how can I get lockscreen weather? :S

Here, they started weather on the new lockscreens mid Nov. There's some in the online theme chooser app as well.

I did a full wipe and I can confirm root does NOT work. I dont really need it so Im going to stick with it till you find a patch. Also I backed up with MIUI Backup and restored from 12.02 rom and everything it working like I never left other then root so thanks for the great rom!

I updated the OP with a patch. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow after work. I'm still learning.

Sorry if this is answered somewhere (couldn't find much when I asked/searched relatively recently), but does this MIUI version (or any for that matter) fully support the G2 keyboard - as in, the ".com/www." button works instead of displaying the square?

Nope, no MIUI version does because very few phones have physical keyboards. All attention goes to soft IME's. But you can look here. You'll have to use a hex editor to make your own keymap, but everything you need is on his github.

Hey man I have a few questions.

Removed apk's, themes, media, and fonts I didn't use

Can you be more specific about what apks you pulled, what themes you pulled (since there is only one theme that comes with MIUI I don't see what could be slimmed down), and the fonts you got rid of? MIUI is already pretty barebones in terms of system overhead and package size so I'm curious as to how your design philosophy works.

Added memory management, sdcard, zipalign, and ILWT fixes scripts

Could you also go into some more detail as to what this means and how each script works? I'm not really much of a dev, I just benefit from the effort of others but I do love my documentation, especially before I flash a new rom.


Thanks for the reply.


Edit: Hey as a bit of an aside, for permission controls I always suggest LBE Security Control. It's very effective at not breaking roms yet helping your sense of security. It's free on the market so you could theoretically pre package it in your rom. I usually suggest it since most baked in permission control is often fundamentally broken.

Sure. MiTalk, MiuiStats, and a couple others I can't remember off hand. I removed the Arabic, Thai, and Hebrew fonts, the some of the ringtones and pictures I hated, TTS info for Italian, French, and German, the extra lockscreens in the media folder, and added a smaller bootanimation. I'm going to try to slim it down a little more next week too. I'll make a list.

As for the scripts, in the system/etc/init.d folder there's the SDcard fix which changes the read ahead cache, zipalign which verifies all apks are zipaligned at boot, ramscript which tunes the memory manager, and ilwt-fixes that fixes Flash in the browser.

Glad you picked this up T. Let me know if I can be of any use to you!

Thanks. You've been a great help already. I'm just doing this so I have something to flash your pack on.

Great that you got your project going on, kinda similar what I was about to do to learn how to make my 'own' ROM. I guess you don't mind if I snoop around a bit and see what you did? Anyway this is going to my new daily driver. Thanks Bigt!
