Hello XDA,

(I'm posting this link here because I don't have enough posts to reply to the [ROM] MIUI v5 3.7.19 English thread.)

I was browsing the English MIUI website today and found that the Motorola Atrix 4G was listed as a supported device! :victory:

  1. Official ROM package: http://en.miui.com/download-48.html
  2. Kernel update package: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s1am14hv1463bse/kcTzU7sneq or do it yourself instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50270128&postcount=35 :cowboy:
  3. Basic soft keyboard: http://storage.evozi.com/apk/dl/13/...ard.apk?h=2w9QQkC1civRGTlZnZ_1kw&t=1393030263 (you'll need this, or another soft keyboard APK of your choice, because this ROM does not come with a soft keyboard!)
  4. Google Apps package: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2482592 (search for "gapps core" on that page)

It's meant for the international version (ME860) but I think it should work it works on the US version (MB860) just fine.

Cheers.

I'll definitely try this one out. I love MIUI.

interesting... will have to give it a try and see what works and doesn't


Most of it seems to work, camera works, 1080P works on it, not sure about the Flash. Here is the status pages.

There is also an update on the updates page to 4.1.10 but I am not on WiFi. But all seems to work so far for me, I just can't figure out how to get the play store to work.

Also, it looks like it's actually for the MB not the ME.

Just a quick question since I'm a little lost. Miui is actually based on Android like CM right? So wouldn't it have the same bugs as cm 10.1? Like flash not working perfectly and stuff like that?

My Flash seems to not work, unless you auto focus, it won't trigger on it's own.

Edit, Correction, my horrible explanation of this, if Focus is set to auto in settings, it will Flash with Automatic Flash when it needs it. the Flash Seems to be extremely strong though.

I see, my bad. Thought it was by looking at tegra2_clocks.c and tegra2_dvfs.c :|
A bit offtopic but what application are you using to see the gpu frequency?

I tried the 4.1.24 release of this ROM (filename: miui_me860_santajin_4.1.24_2d6ed01966_4.2.zip) and it flashes correctly using ClockworkMod.

However, during first boot (after it optimizes 122 Android apps) it repeatedly shows the MIUI logo and pulses the LED with a red color.

Is this what is known as a "boot loop"? :(

Red light pulse usually means low battery. Try turning the phone off and connecting the wall charger for a few hours and then wipe and flash again

Thanks! I tried your suggestion and the red LED does not pulse anymore. :good:
But it still gets stuck in the boot loop after "optimizing" 122 Android apps. :(

Update: I did "reset factory user data" in CWM and now I get past the boot loop! :highfive:

Now that MIUI was working, the next thing I needed was Google apps --- particularly the Play Store so I could install more apps.

I tried gapps packages from MIUI v5 ROM for Atrix 4G and epinter's CM 10.1 but they both had problems, such as the Play Store would force close.

Finally, I tried the gapps package from MIUI for Atrix HD (yeah, I know, it's a different phone) and it worked! :victory:

    Good news, everyone! :angel:

    I was able to fix the blank screen issue by upgrading to a newer kernel, as palmbeach05 suggested.

    Now my phone's screen turns on correctly every time I press the power button! :victory:

    Here's how I did it under Debian GNU/Linux. :cowboy: First, extract the ROM's boot image:

    Code:
    $ aunpack miui_me860_santajin_4.2.7_58b76313b6_4.2.zip
    
    $ cd miui_me860_santajin_4.2.7_58b76313b6_4.2
    
    $ abootimg -x boot.img
    writing boot image config in bootimg.cfg
    extracting kernel in zImage
    extracting ramdisk in initrd.img
    
    $ cd ..

    Now extract krystianp's boot image and then modify it to include the ROM's initrd.img filesystem image and finally flash the result: :fingers-crossed:

    Code:
    $ aunpack kernel-2014_02_10_01_49_cm10_1.zip
    
    $ cd kernel-2014_02_10_01_49_cm10_1
    
    $ abootimg -x boot.img
    writing boot image config in bootimg.cfg
    extracting kernel in zImage
    extracting ramdisk in initrd.img
    
    $ abootimg --create boot.img -f bootimg.cfg -k zImage -r ../miui_me860_santajin_4.2.7_58b76313b6_4.2/initrd.img
    reading config file bootimg.cfg
    reading kernel from zImage
    reading ramdisk from ../miui_me860_santajin_4.2.7_58b76313b6_4.2/initrd.img
    boot.img: updated is too big for the Boot Image (4268032 vs 4216832 bytes)
    
    $ printf 'bootsize = 0x%x\n' 4268032 >> bootimg.cfg
    
    $ abootimg --create boot.img -f bootimg.cfg -k zImage -r ../miui_me860_santajin_4.2.7_58b76313b6_4.2/initrd.img
    reading config file bootimg.cfg
    reading kernel from zImage
    reading ramdisk from ../miui_me860_santajin_4.2.7_58b76313b6_4.2/initrd.img
    Writing Boot Image boot.img
    
    $ sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
    sending 'boot' (4168 KB)...
    OKAY [  0.756s]
    writing 'boot'...
    OKAY [  0.927s]
    finished. total time: 1.683s
    
    $ sudo fastboot reboot
    rebooting...
    
    finished. total time: 0.004s

    Congrats! You have successfully injected a newer kernel into the ROM! :victory:

    For your convenience, if you lack the tools/knowledge to follow the steps shown above, I have prepared a ClockWorkMod-flashable update ZIP file containing the boot image I built above. :cool:

    Enjoy!

    I contacted santajin on his MIUI profile page about our problems and he replied! :highfive:

    Hi santajin! The ME860 4.2.7 (V5) ROM lacks a soft-keyboard. And I had to upgrade the 3.1 kernel to fix screen wake problems: http://xdaforums.com/ ... 270128#post50270128 Thank you! :)
    santajin:
    System partition is too small to add a build-in input method.
    For Screen wake, i will check the kernel you mentioned!
    Thanks for your support

    So look forward for these problem to be fixed upstream in future releases of this ROM. :victory:

    Thanks for the tip! I found the exact bug on the Kernel issue tracker. :good:

    Is it possible to flash a newer kernel (just the kernel, nothing else) on top of my existing MIUI ROM installation? :confused:

    If you extract the new kernel and package it up with the existing boot.img, and combo that with the lib/module directory, then yes

    Or you can use this to install required gooogle appps
