[ROM] English (!) MIUI 2.3.7 RC0 with wifi fix

[Mavamaarten]

You may have seen the other MIUI thread on here, but unfortunately a lot stayed in chinese even if you changed the language to English.
Feed3 translated most of the apk's, and I included english versions of Root Explorer and the default gingerbread keyboard as well.

This ROM does NOT format the /data/ partition like the original ROM does. This way you can flash this ROM over your older MIUI installation.
IF YOU'RE COMING FROM ANOTHER ROM (LEGENDFUSE, CM7, ...) YOU HAVE TO WIPE YOUR PHONE FIRST!
Thus, if you want to fix the wifi errors from the original ROM, just flash this over your previous rom, your data will be preserved.

I'm using this rom right now so it's working fine!

Changes:

• Added: Google apps are now installed automatically
• Fixed/Changed: /Data/ partition is preserved, you can just flash this ROM over your old MIUI rom.
  If you want to flash this rom over a non-miui ROM, do a full wipe first. Don't forget to do a nandroid backup first!
• Fixed: English Root explorer instead of Chinese one
• Fixed: English MIUI Music app instead of Chinese one
• Fixed: Wifi rebooting issues

NOTE1:
The first time you'll start this ROM, it will be in chinese. Just follow these instructions to set it to english:

miuiLauncher , MENU button ->设置(Setting)->系统(System tab)->语言和输入(Language and Input)->选择语言（Choose Language）-> Choose English.

NOTE2:
I did not make this ROM, I only made some changes to the updater script and some files. All credit goes to the maker of this ROM (Cofface) and to the people that translated the .APK's (feed3)

[farukb]

anyone did any benchmarking on these roms?

 

[Mavamaarten]

I'll do so now. Quadrant?
The ROM feels very snappy though, everything is very fast.

EDIT: The quadrant score is pretty bad, I didn't expect that. The rom really works fluently :/
What really counts is the actual speed, quadrant is just a crappy benchmark.

 

[farukb]

try antutu,i just did a benchmark on my current rom, just so we can compare it with this one


CM7.2 RC3 @600MHz did:

total score: 1338
cpu: 330
gpu: 658
ram: 86
i/o: 264

DETAILED:

ram: 86
CPU integer: 187
CPU float-point: 143
2D graphics: 264
3D graphics: 394
Database IO: 145
SD card write: (2.6 MB/s) 26
SD card read: (9.3 MB/s) 93

and after a reboot:

total: 1357

ram: 91
CPU integer: 188
CPU float-point: 141
2D graphics: 298
3D graphics: 390
Database IO: 130
SD card write: (4.7 MB/s) 47
SD card read: (7.2 MB/s) 72

AnTuTu default speed (Ondemand, 600 MHz max): 1303

AnTuTu default speed (Ondemand, 600 MHz max): 1303

very nice indeed!
can you, please, go to scores tab and provide us with detailed scores ? so that we can compare what actually works better and what doesn't. thanks

After a reboot to start afresh, I now get 1375. I'm using a class 4 SD-card.

RAM: 91
CPU integer: 187
CPU float-point: 142
2D graphics: 295
3D graphics: 374

maybe if it would be completely gpu rendered like ics it would be a great aquisition

 

[psicore]

guys what about gapps? it not works on my legend,i have only loading bar on market

 

[farukb]

i just tried to flash the rom and keep the data from cm7.2 (i formated system and cache)...and it works...the system boots, sees the apps etc....but i can't even open contacts (although some apps seem to work), i get million FCs, almost for everything i try to do....so, i'll try a clean installation and see if this was because the old data, or the rom.

EDIT: no FCs after fresh flash

 

[Suppe123]

Is ist right, the Dalvik cache is mounted at /cache instead of /sd-ext?

 

[farukb]

@ OP "car home" icon appears twice (maybe just the icon, maybe the whole app)

 

[anbublackops]

when I flash the rom i have only 15 mb of internal memory free. how can i fix this?

same.. seems like sdext is not detected or something :S

also having the car home twice after install

Hmm, looks like including the gapps in the ROM f*cked up some things indeed.
For now, just install the regular version and flash Gapps separately :/

You need to do a full wipe if you're not coming from a MIUI rom before. Just do a wipe data/factory reset and it should work.

BTW, I managed to get a score of 1755 in AnTuTu.
For some reason it deleted the details though. I did overclock to 825 Mhz to get this result.

seems so, i can't even install gmail...says insufficient space, although i have more than 100mb free, and can install other apps (both from market and sd)

you said you didn't try to flash it over existing cm7 data,so i tried it for you, and the feedback was mentioned above...

Yeah, I figured it could work because this ROM is based off CM7...
Anyways, I'm having this problem too and I'm working hard to fix this. The only thing you can do at the moment is back up your stuff using MyBackup and do a clean install (with wipe!) with Gapps in a separate .zip...

 

[gaga111]

seperately installing gapps fixed the problem with insufficient space


although i noticed that widgets are oversized for me :S

Does anyone else have this problem: When i start Viber it crashes and sends a report everytime.
