[F.A.Q.
Please read before posting any questions!
The latinime and gallery3dold apk's are attached at the bottom of this post

Q: I can't can't make phone calls and/or send messages?
A: Make sure your IMEI is correct. To check your IMEI, go into your dialer and type in *#06#. If it's not correct, go back to stock, flash RC2, and then flash the latest version.

Q: How to flash a newer version of MIUI over an old one
A: Format system, data and cache and install the newer zip. If you do not want to lose data then do not format "data", but if the rom is buggy then do a factory reset and reboot.

Q: How do I install this if I'm coming from CM7?
A: Format data, system, and cache. Flash the MIUI.zip and then do a wipe data/factory reset. Reboot. If you are not flashing Segnaro's package, you will need to flash a CM7 kernel and modem.

Q: I applied a theme, but it didn't change everything?
A: The MIUI Dev's have been changing the theme system recently so themes that have not been updated will not work or will not theme everything. Once the beta gets close to being finished, more themes will created and updated.

Q: Why is the auto-rotation reversed?
A: *If you don't know know how to do most of these things, you should not do it, or ask for more help other wise you might send your phone into a bootloop.

If you download the i9000 package instead of a captivate package, the auto-rotation will be incorrect. To fix this, you need to grab these files from the CM7 rom:
lib/libsensorservice.so
lib/hw/sensors.aries.so
lib/hw/sensors.goldfish.so

After you copy those files to your sd card, download Root Explorer or another file managing app. Go to where those files are located on your sd card, and copy each one-by-one and paste them in the correct spot. You will need to be in R/W mode for this to work. After you paste it and overwrite the previous one, you need to change the permissions for each one to this:
User: X-X-0
Group: X-0-0
Others: X-0-0
X = checkmarks 0 = unchecked

Reboot the phone and auto-rotion should now be correct.

Q: The battery doesn't fully charge?
A: This is a Samsung feature to keep the battery healthy. Once it reaches around 96%, it's charged and you can uplug your phone.

Q: My wifi doesn't work?
A: Reflash the kernel. If that doesn't work, you may need to reflash the rom.

Q: My statusbar icons turn either gray and green?
A: This is a feature of Android 2.3. Gray means you have a signal/data and green means you have a signal/data and are connected to the google servers.

Q: The notification menu is in Chinese!
A: A simple reboot should resolve the issue.

Q. Why can't this be flashed with one CMW zip?
A. This rom is a port from the nexus s version. It is built on CM7 in order to correctly partition the device. The initial kernel flash via Odin can not be replicated via clockwork.

Q: When I get a call or call someone, my screen turns black!
A: Hit the power button a couple of times until the screen turns back on. If that does not work or it keeps happening, go to Settings, Call Settings, turn off proximity sensor and when holding phone up to face make sure you turn screen off using power.

Q. I have no data what should I do?
A. Toggle screen off and on a couple times.

Q: I can't download anything from the browser/market/etc.?
A: Try these options in order:
- Go into the 'Downloads' app on your phone, hit the menu button, and select, "Download using Mobile network." Reboot.
- Go into Recovery, wipe data/factory reset.

Q. I am using a kernel that allows for under volting, but I can't get the sliders to move in voltage app.
A. Known issue, with persistence they will move.

Q. How can I go back to 2.2 Roms?
A. Odin flash stock with repartition. One click will do, provided you can use it on your device.

Q. Can I use the camera from my favorite 2.2 rom?
A. No, there is no twframework because this is not a Samsung rom. Nothing Samsung will work.

Q. Can I use a Samsung App from my favorite 2.2 rom?
A. No, there is no twframework because this is not a Samsung rom. Nothing Samsung will work.

Q. Why is battery life so bad?
A. Known issue for this and CM7. Currently it is not fully optimized for our device.

Q: Can I use a different kernel?
A: Yes, you can use any Captivate CM7 kernel.

Q. I tried to toggle 2g and now I have no signal.
A. 3g/2g toggle works but you must disable data first. To get data back go to recovery wipe cache and davlik cache. Reboot. If that does not work try a modem flash or reflash rom.

Q: I installed swype, but it doesn't seem to work?
A: Download the Swype Installer from here. Follow the instructions all the way until the end until you get to the end. Reboot the phone and swype will now work. If you already tried to install swype, please clear the data on swype and swype installer and then uninstall both. Then try the fix.

Q: Why am I getting duplicate contacts after installing this Rom?
A: Log into your Google account online. Go into your account settings, view data stored with this account. Manage contacts, click the got duplicates button.

Q: Every time I flash MIUI, I reboot into CWM.
A: Go into Mounts and Storage
- Format System
- Format Cache
- Format Data

Q: Why can’t I make calls or connect to the mobile network?
A: Check to make sure your IMEI is correct. If not correct, flash RC2 then the version you were previously trying to install.

Q: After flashing the newest rom, my keyboard does not auto correct anymore.
A: Download the LatinIME.apk from the bottom of this post. Using Root Explorer move the LatinIME.apk into system/apps and change permissions to RW-W-W

X X O

X O O

X O O

Q: Why is my camera showing black?
A: While in the camera application, toggle your screen on and off.

Q: My 3d graphics aren’t as good as they were on previous versions.
A: They have been fixed in the newest update.

Already mentioned but just giving a little more detail. Auto-rotate doesn't seem to work on the home screen (possibly supposed to be this way?) and the menus rotate opposite from how you would want them to do so. Trying a different kernel now to see if it changes anything.

Other than that, I am loving the UI. Can't wait for the finished product.

EDIT: Issue persists with TheEscapist's CM7 kernel. Temporary solution is to disable auto-rotate. All menu's show up normally this way, but you can't view anything in landscape mode.

mossination · 17th March 2011, 04:54 AM

Yeah the auto rotate is kind of annoying I can't get it too work properly. Btw did you follow my instructions for the flash? I don't really care I just wanted too see if I listed them right lol and the media files don't seem to work with apps sometimes also , just putting that out there
