[ROM](7.12.13)MIUI v5 UNIVERSAL (CDMA/GSM)

[digitalhigh]

After many requests, I finally sat down and whipped up a UNIVERSAL MIUI installer for both CDMA and GSM versions of the Evo 3D.

The ROM itself is directly based on official weekly builds for CDMA and GSM editions. I have made a few changes to the filesystem (fixed HOSTS from blocking certain sites), added the original camera.apk that was included in initial releases of v5, and threw in a whole bunch of tweaks and extras.

Now, as CDMA is my native device, it will be a little more difficult to test and provide support for GSM. However, official releases have been rock-solid for quite a while now, so there shouldn't be any significant issues.


Below is the link to my CDMA thread. You will find weekly releases and changelogs here. If you require support, please post questions there. It's just easier for me.

Enjoy.

I tried to install this on my evo 3D gsm but it won't boot... I'm stuck in bootloader so I had to restore my old rom

Hmmm...and herein lies the difficulty of porting for a device you don't have.

So, it's one of several things. On my end, I either borked one of the partitions somewhere (GSM and CDMA use different layouts) or I maybe missed a file difference.

It could also be a hboot/firmware issue. Again, I don't know much about the GSM stuff, but this is based on AOSP JB 4.1.2, so whatever hboot and firmware config works for that should work for this.

I apologize...I will go over the installer again and see if I missed something. If anybody else who's tried this could please report back with your results, it might help me in narrowing down the issue.


Edit: Also updated the OP info to reflect that this needs work yet.

problem could be in aroma installer... at the end aroma should ask me do I want reboot but that part show about half second than just disappear and I have to manually reboot from 4ext recovery... I'm using hboot 1.49007 and I was on Yoda's rom before installing MIUI

After some updater-script hackery I got it booting,but every app force closes at the initial setup
Pc wouldn't see the device so didn't grab a logcat

So...is it too soon to download? Or will it boot?

Yes it's too soon. It'll take you as far as bootloader only. Even if you make it past that, according to heli, apps fc's at initial setup. This is a WIP according to the op so we'll have to wait until he can fix the issue :good:

What was the problem in updater-script? I just sat down at the computer today...gonna start going through it in a second here.

WellP, I just went over the files with a fine tooth comb (in this case, the comb being a 3-way folder compare utility), and found a few places where there were libs and configs either doubled up, or missing entirely. Sure this doesn't help with apps running.

Downloading Cool ICS GSM right now, gonna check out the updater-script/aroma in that and see if I can get some clues as to what I missed. I think between the file fixes and Aroma, this should be working shortly.

 

[digitalhigh]

Okay, found three errors in the updater-script that definitely won't help. Fixed those, plus the changes to the filesystem(s). Uploading to goooooo now, will update this post and my OP in CDMA with the link when it's done uploading.

I took META-INF from a random rom of mine,edited updater-script to flash also /data,and unpacked the contents of DH/gsm into system

Well, I found two points where I had two calls to the FS optimizations one above the other, and I changed the partition number for the first line but didn't see it in the second. That prolly messed all kinds of stuff up. I also excluded the first part of the app selection menu, which was the cause of the customize.prop not being present. The new upload should be done in about 20 minutes...

If anybody would like to test-flash this and post results, I would appreciate it. Might be advisable to save the install log as well as grab a logcat...providing it installs fully and gets past bootloader. Thanks.
