[ROM][ICS] MARANGE HTC DESIRE MIUI V4 2.10.26 Beta (uploaded on Oct 31th, 2012) [RET]

[marange]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After thinking about it for some time I decided to retire the ROM. Stability issues with my phone (hardware wise) and with the ROM, coupled with lack of spare time, I decided to retire my trusty desire and the ROM. I thanks everyone for the kind words and thanks to the people who donated. Everything is very appreciated.

Kind regards,
Marange
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The is the patchrom build of MIUI v4 (ICS) 2.10.26 for the HTC Desire. It is based on:

• Sandvold's ICS 0.8.1 ROM (Android 4.0.4) as a base (thanks to Sandvold)
• Aroma/MIUI-Au installer (thanks to Amarullz and Lennox)
• patchrom MIUI v4 2.10.26

If you like what I am doing, a amazon gift card would be nice or click on the 'donate to me' button.

Please note:
this ROM will not be update exactly every week (but I try to keep up), and asking about updating the base will not make a change of base go faster. It takes a lot of time to change/update the base and it is not easy (otherwise I would have done it already), so progress on that is going slowly and I will show it to the world if and when it is ready. This is a one-man operation and I don't have unlimited time. So please enjoy the ROM as is.

SCREENSHOTS:

(I cleaned up the OP. I removed a lot of the older versions. Hope that doesn't lead to problems).

You can download the ROM thru their app GooManager. Select the option "Browse compatible ROMs' and you will find the ROM. I also upload it to mediafire.

Please note that the ROM works for me, but understand this is a beta version (because the base ROM is beta and MIUI is changing the ROM every week, I still keep it on beta level), flash at your own risk. Make a NAND backup before installing, so when things go wrong, you can back to the previous version. If you experience any serious problems, do a full wipe/factory reset then flash again.

NOTE for 2.9.29
Because Xiaomi did not release a new version this week, I decided to upload the 2.9.29 version. It looks stable and IMHO it looks a tiny bit faster. But I needed to remove the Hanzi patch in this version, because Xiaomi did change the code completely, so the patch failed. If people can try and see if the patch is still needed ? There are no other changes in this version (with exception of the 2.9.28 and 2.9.29 patches). I spend most of my spare time on "real life issues" and working on a version with an updated base. I got it to boot, but need (a lot more) time to get all the patches in. So please no questions about ETA's or for information.

NOTE FOR 2.9.7
At least version 2.8.31 had an issue on cm7r2 hboot. There was not enough space on the system partition, which caused FC's. In this version I moved some more stuff to the SD-card, so that the space issue is solved and 2.9.7 should work again without trouble on cm7r2 hboot.
2012-09-15: The 2.9.7 release has a problem with root permissions. Xiaomi implemented a check to determine of a ROM should have root permissions (development mode) or not (stable mode). One way or another the 2.9.7 build is put in stable mode. There is a patch (see DOWNLOAD PERMISSION PATCH FOR 2.9.7 above) which switches permissions into development mode.

NOT WORKING:

• MIUI Music Player has sometimes a random noise for a split second (looks like a MIUI player problem)
  (looks like select smartassv2 as governor solves this)
• Looks like Adhoc wifi is not working
• Probably more

REQUIREMENTS:
the same as MIUI Au:

• Requires an ext3/4 partition to be the second partition on your SD Card.
• Will install on Stock HBOOT without problems. On Data++ and cm7 HBOOT, there are issues. I am looking into it.
• Only stock HBOOT, Data++ and Sense can perform data wipe without rom reinstallation, due to system files needing to be moved for other HBOOT's.

INSTALLATION:

• Make sure you have an ext3/4 partition setup as the second partition on your sd card, otherwise you will have very little memory to use as data2ext won’t work.
• If you restore apps or data using Titanium or MIUI Backup, there may be problems due to changes from GB to ICS. If you do have any, restore apps one by one to find the culprit.

NOTES
After installing you can get the message:

System UIDs Inconsistent
----------------------------------
UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.
[I'm Feeling Lucky]

Only solution I found was to backup the apps, do a wipe and reinstall the backup.

For some people wifi was not working and that is solved by using wifix. Just select it in the installer and it will get installed automatically.

The FC's in supermarkt en Gallery are still there. I am working on it, but still have no idea what and why it happens (Gallery) or I know know what happens, but don't know why (Supermarkt).

Great Work to Revive G7

2012-07-27

I flashed 7.20 beta into my G7. It's almost perfect--fast, fluent. And I encountered no FC, no BSOD for 3 days.
1. I used BCM kernel for a few hours, turned out that it was not so fluent.
2. then I switched to tiamat kernel (the version from sandvold 0.15.0.1), with the following settings,
Force GPU usage ----- on
Show rounded corners ---- off
Windows animations scale ----- Animations off
Transitions animation scale ---- Animations off.
And then this rom is flying fluently, as well as all apps getting fast.
3. Sometimes when i pressed power button to turn off and lock the screen, the screen turned off firstly, but it lit again in about 1 second.
4. And when i pressed power button to turn on the screen, the screen lit firstly, but blacked again.

I have never expected that G7 could run ICS so fluently, but It does.
Great work and great rom. Many thanks to Marange and your stuff.

Oh, I am from China.


==============================================================================
2012-07-05

I flashed 2.6.22. All thing is going on well, but the following,
1. Sometimes when i pressed power button to turn off and lock the screen, the screen turned off firstly, but it lit again.
2. And when i pressed power button to turn on the screen, the screen lit firstly, but blacked again.
3. The Gallery App has FCs

Great rom. thanks to Marange.





=================================================================================
Thanks for your great work. I like MIUI V4 due to its beauty. Looking forward to your newest progress.

One day Testing on 2.4.20 turns out:
1). BlackScreen death(2 times), 2). ColorScreen(screen was on) Death(1 time), 3). some apps that can not be installed(the most annoying annoyance is that Root Explorer can not be installed), 4). Some FCs, 5). battery burning out to power off during a night(more than 60% left when I sleeped).
6). SMS getting more smooth when long sm is displaying, 7). Some apps that dispaly long text content getting more smooth

 

[stoeckler]

Thanks for this great ROM, it's really smooth and so far, everything's working perfectly! I would second the move to the developer section, so more people can become aware of this.

 

[3f1f37]

Thanks for reviving MIUI v4 on the Desire, you just re-lit the candle of hope

 

[aledex]

Thank you really much, I was looking forward this thread!

 

[Mr. Playboy]

Great and works perfectly.

Is there a specific reason, why you chose 0.54 of Sandvolds build as a basis and not 0.6/0.6.1.1?

Nevertheless: Great that you did all the hard work and brought us desire users MIUI v4 back! Looking forward to more builds from your side in the near future ;-)

 

[soronk]

cool!
Thx for your hard work!
I hope the issue with network is fixed. With the previous versions i couldn't connect to my wpa2-protected wifi-network.

 

[MatDiggy]

Damn, I'm in Thailand right now so I can't test it on my Desire yet. Will try it as soon as I touch homeground.

Thanks for the work you put in Maranges!

[frankgrasshopper]

Hello, thanks a lot for the good work. Yust installed the latest version. It feels much better than the version before. Are there any chances to get fm radio working? Greetings from germany.

 

[Casi92]

does it woorking panoramic camera?
however thank you, i will flash it tomorrow and then will post my feedback

 

[ph87]

Thank you very much for your work! I'm very glad to see that someone keeps Miui V4 alive for the Desire!

Till now all works great!

Is there a chance to get other languages work? Or how can it be done? If someone can tell me, I will have a try!

Greetings from Germany!!!

 

[1982Strand]

Sandvolds 0.5.4 base is used as it was the one out when this project was coming together.

The base rom won't be changed unless major changes are in effect (for instance panorama working), as it means COMPLETELY new building of the miui rom, i.e. every patch made probably has to be redone = tons of work + testing..

So the thought is to keep the base (it's fairly stable as is) and focus on polishing the miui part, until it makes much sense to update the base

Getting rid of the rest chinese, getting the cpu settings to run smooth, adding languages. And other stuff that might be broken or needs attention

So if you know any pro smali hackers with lots of spare time, let us know!

-Dan

 

[frankgrasshopper]

I think sandvolds 0.5.4 base is allright. It´s stable enough. Setting the focus on the Miui part is the right way. There are a lot of miui specials (on GB Versions) which can be ported to ics miui.

Most of that stuff is simple enough, this weekend hopefully I'll be having a play with the latest build and improve some things. If you have specifics pm me or get marange to email me and I'll try to sort it all then.

 

[marange]

As 1982Strand already mentioned, the 0.5.4 base ROM was the current ROM when I started. The idea is to get polish the ROM first and also get some translations in. The idea is to make it a multilingual ROM so if people want to contribute with language translations, please PM me and I can send you the resources which need translation. There is already an offer for German and 1982Strand is looking at the Danish translation.

Because there is very little patching and tweaking for the desire, we are also looking at that. Make it even an better experience on the desire. And if you notice strange behavior, things not working, FC's, apps not installable, please let us know.

Marange

 

[Mr. Playboy]

Just wanted to give some feedback:
Working great, stable, no FCs or reboots so far after around 18 hours of usage.
Battery life so far is amazing, drainage over night just 9%, which I never had with the previous builds. So, please keep this one

Beside the small chinese parts (which do not disturb me at all): AMAZING!
Looking forward to the future and future builds with tweaks, etc.

Cheers and THX!

Hi

Sorry you had so much trouble.

About the BSOD (1) and CSOD (2), these are kernel issues. And I know these are very annoying. We are working on a solution. On (3), could you please let us know what the error is you get ? (Question to other users Are there any other users who have the same problem ? (4) Could you give (an) example(s) ? (5) Strange, don't have this problem. Maybe a rogue app which kept running in the background ? And I don't understand what you mean by (6) and (7).

Do you have the same issues with 2.4.27 ?

Again sorry for the problems. Please keep sending them in, so that we can look at fixing them.

 

[frankgrasshopper]

Now im using the rom for hours. No problems so far. Battery life is good. And the small chinese things are funny.

Yes, there are some chinese in Gallery and in recommended tab in the mms app, have you noticed chinese elsewhere?

 

[frankgrasshopper]

Some more chinese: the privacy (firewall) app and the monitor app.

one more question. Is there any chance that extended setting mod is working with this rom?
