[ROM][PORT] MIUI v4 for Legend - Alpha 1

MIUI v4 for Legend

Found this ROM made by Cofface in a Chinese forum for the HTC Legend. As you might of guessed it is an MIUI v4 port for our phone. There's still many things not working which I'm going to try and get working. This ROM still isn't fully translated and I don't recommend you use this as your daily driver just yet. It has MAJOR speed/responsiveness problems. I've modified the build.prop to try and make it faster and included a default overclock.

Things that don't work at this stage:
-GPS
-Wifi
-Bluetooth
-Camera

really glad to see so many new roms in dev section

it looks really good but sadly its very laggy and not very usable - its an alpha version :S

especially animations are choppy

I've found this guide in general Android section

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499411

It should port MIUIv4 to any device. Actually we have a ICS ROM ( zeubea's ROM ). I wanted to try this but I can't download the official ROMS from MIUI servers ( http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/miui-rom-2-5-18-roms.16608/ ). Maybe this can help.

@/=\lex Yes I've seen that guide and I've tried it a couple of times to varying degrees of success. I'm going to try again today as I have a new idea about what needs to be done.

MIUI v4 2.7.6

Hi All,

I have successfully ported miui v4 with some essential parts are working; wifi, call/sms, usb storage (using UMS), browser etc.







At this stage, it is usable but have some bugs to be fix before can make it perfectly working.

1.One of the bug are the signal bar stays the same regardless how bar i have.
2. some UI glitches, for example in root explorer when i press menu and then when i replied the sms from the pop up, when it reach the second line, the same glitches will come out.



I'm very new in this kind of things, mostly i just do some simple modding. I hope any Devs or any members can help me or at least to show or even just to guide me where i can fix the bugs before i can go to zeubea and ask his permission (i use his ROM as base) and share it here.

Cheers..

When i have free time, i will upload the file to mediafire and pm you the link so that we can play it together.. anyone interested also can pm me and i will give the link. i wont post the link or even open the thread yet because i havent pm zeubea for his permission yet plus eventhough it is working, there's still many issues need to resolved.

Right now i'm stuck at the graphics glithces in several places; sms pop up, sms app conversation list when i rotate the screen, menu in root explorer etc and i have no idea which files that responsible for the behaviour and whatever comes out from logcat seems like an alien language to me
some other issues are torch not working (not a dealbreaker for me)

But the signal bar now fixed, usb storage also working and no need to use UMS.apk workaround anymore, themes seems working fine, changing dpi also doesn't break any apps, camera working fine with flash, performance are good so far...

Workarounds:

1. Superuser, need to go to setting and open automatic response, set to allow or else root permission will be denied (no pop up asking for permission)
2. hardware buttons backlight is not working "automatically". had to change brightness to make it work and wont light up again once screen is wake up or brightness set to auto. workaround is to tap once at brightness to make it auto and then tap once again to go back to your brightness.

not working;

1. torch
2. video recording and any other things that not working in cm9 beta 3
3. please report

How did you go about porting this? Like what guide did you use and what ROM did you get the MIUI parts from? Also, do you plan to rebase it off zeubea's latest CM9 Beta4? Great job on the ROM, can't wait to get home and test it.

At first, i search on the net for the guides, there is some in xda and some in miui.us forum.

However, foolowing it give me boot loop each time. So, i just do it my way.

I take many ROM to try out (galaxy ace, sony xperia etc) but none working until i use wildfire s ROM. Once it is bootable, only then i go and look for the issues and the fix from the net (faster way) as i dont have much free time to look into the apk files and fix the issue. Somemore, i only have one phone, this is my only phone to communicate so, you can imagine how furious my gf if she can't call me the whole day LOL ;p
