PATCHES


KNOWN BUGS & FIXES/WORKAROUNDS

  • When you're setting up your email, do it when the UI language is English. For some reason the email app
    might end up in a loop if you set it up using some other language. After you've set it up and
    started it once, you can change the UI language and it'll work OK.
  • Top-Bar battery indicator won't show
    fix: 1. choose "Top-Bar" battery indicator 2. start MIUI control panel
    --> Statusbar Options --> Battery Options --> turn show battery OFF and back ON.
  • NOTE: You can use other launchers if you dislike MIUI's native launcher.

Tomorrow i'll try it.

Thanks for sharing!

But I have one doubt - is this the same rom as that one - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1473523 ?

Because you said that it is for those who don't want to wait for ret4rt updates...

Nope, this one is newer port from Desire Z's 2.2.3 Miui (but uses 2.6.35.7 based ret4rt kernel etc., so keep in mind that it has the same update procedure as the other 2.6.35 based ROMs, I.e. you have to have the official 2.6.35 ROM before updating to this... =)

And...Even though this works for me very well at the moment, it might not be a bad idea to wait ret4rt's new version, since it probably has new tweaks etc. :)

Thanks man!

Now i'm installing the last MIUI 2.2.3 from Portugal, i really dunno what's the kernel... but can i flash ret4rt's kernel on that one? Because I liked it very much!

If it's possible, where can I download it?

Best regards

It's working on my x5. There is no Turkish language support. More Locale 2 didn't solve problem for me. Thanks.
Note: In version 2.1.20 access point function not working correctly. Other devices cant connect my AndroidAP. I hope problem was solved.

If you have time, you could implent this to this rom. It is finnish translation for HTC sensation. It takes time to put the translations to apps, but it would be nice to have finnish in miui :)

Well yeah I can upload those, but sounds weird since mine are in plain good old English. Did you update some other ROM or did you do a full wipe (cache, dalvik, factory reset...I even usually mount system and format it in CWM before I update anything)?

Anywhoo, here are the files you asked:

I think when I did a restore with titanium backup, I restored those chinese apps from another MIUI rom :p

but hey, thanks :)

EDIT: Very strange man, I put your apks and the apps still continues in chinese :O


BTW, what do you think about the battery of this rom? Mine drains 40% in about 2 hours even i'm not using the phone at all...

40% sounds really bad. :p Did you do a full wipe before you installed this? This is what I did:

1. do a factory reset
2. wipe dalvik cache
3. mount system directory --> format it
4. install ROM
5. if it still drains your battery, fix permissions.
6. my non-existing skills end here. :p
7. or...after you've installed this ROM, don't restore apps immediately, just see how the battery acts. Maybe it's some of your restored apps that keeps acting out.

My battery went down from 100% to 85% in ~ 8-9 hours without using the phone (2g data was on and a bunch of apps update themselves every now and then, so I don't know how deep sleep my phone gets)

Never say never, although I wasn't planning on going much more further with this 'hobby'. Given that the temperature was closing in on -30c this weekend, I got bored and had an eureka moment. :D

And there already are people who actually know what they're doing here and a chance of getting U8800 going official. Yay!! :D

Man, I can see my battery draining in real time! :eek:

Now it was by 66% and I was writing a sms.. I saw it draining one by one to 51%, in only 2-3 minutes!!!

yes, when i installed it i did what you said. Before I wrote this sms I fixed permissions, like you said too.

On "running apps" I only have system, keyboard and messaging (because messaging is always running, dunno why!)

Very strange, don't you think?


BTW, how often is this rom updated?

Just change governor from smartassv2 to minmax and it will be ok. It is same with me. With smartassv2 my phone lasts for 8 hours and then battery is dead.

I think they are cpu controlers.

Wiki:
Linux kernel supports CPU frequency modulation. In supported processors, using cpufreq to gain access to this feature gives the system administrator a variable level of control over the CPU's clock rate. The kernel includes five governors by default: Conservative, Ondemand, Performance, Powersave, and Userspace. The Conservative and Ondemand governors adjust the clock rate depending on the CPU load, but each with different algorithms. The Ondemand governor jumps to maximum frequency on CPU load and decreases the frequency step by step on CPU idle, whereas the Conservative governor increases the frequency step by step on CPU load and jumps to lowest frequency on CPU idle. The Performance, Powersave and Userspace governors set the clock rate statically: Performance to the highest available, Powersave to the lowest available, and Userspace to a frequency determined and controlled by the user.

    It's time to end this project on my behalf. Summer vacation is closing in on me fast and I'm planning not to spend it on front of my computer. If anyone wants to take over and take this ROM even further (it really isn't quite there yet), please feel free & go right ahead. Thanks to everybody for all the feedback, testing and help. Have a good summer y'all! :)

    NEW: MIUI-32-ProjectX [X stands for experiment :p] [May 24 2012]

    download: http://www.mediafire.com/?c7aqeo41yx5t36x


    I don't know how stable this ROM is which is the reason why I named it ProjectX. If the luck is on our side and it turns out to be stable and battery life is OK, I don't see any reason not to use this ROM instead of the .35 version (at least until the bugs get fixed). It has all the same stuff as its big brother (.35).

    What's new & +/- compared to .35 ROM

    new .32 kernel (ezet@u8800 #22)
    + no sensor lag
    + no PIN code bug (you can actually add it, change it, remove it...)
    + the UI feels smoother [doesn't jump 5 pixels at a time like .35]
    + youtube plays 720p&1080p content smoothly [even with vsync on]
    + force internal mic when headphones are connected should work (?)
    + Minecraft works again (HA :p)


    - 3D is a little bit slower [lower Antutu scores with equal clock speeds]
    - need to install Froyo before you can install this [unless you already are on .32 ROM]
    - camera might not be as "good" as with .35
    - bright softkeys
    - I'm sure we'll find out more eventually :p

    Surprise!

    Hello dear X5 users! I have a wonderful surprise! I compiled a MIUI (.35 kernel) with everything is fixed (like sensor lags) from my cm7 vendor files! aanndd in this base,you can use any kernel.I deleted app,fonts,framework,media,usr and META-INF folders so this isn't a installable ROM. I hope that sbasil will make a wonderful ROM to us with this base!
