---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Install HOWTO:

1. Flashing the ROM

1.1 Preparing for flashing

- go to recovery
- wipe /cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats
- flashing this over mik's v6.5.x/6.6.x ROM without wiping /data should work without any problems.
- for any other non-CM7.1 ROM, wiping /data (factory reset) IS required (see FAQ and do not ask retarded questions)

1.2 Flashing the ZIP

- CWM should work just fine
- TWRP - works just fine if you disable signature verification (bug reported quite a few days ago)
- AmonRA - totally untested, definitely disable signature verification, if it does not work, try one of the above.

Quote:
Do not post lame questions about failed signature verification here!!!


1.3 First boot and initial setup

- reboot from recovery
- WAIT! Really, just WAIT!!! Even if it takes 10 minutes, there is no bootloop. Also, as long as the bootanimation is moving, the phone is NOT frozen and is busy populating the dalvik cache etc. Absolutely no need to pull the battery in that case! Once again, WAIT!
- In case you are flashing on a clean phone (/data wiped), you will get the initial setup wizard. If you want to change your language, do it. Tap on the Android picture. Either complete the wizard or skip it. I suggest skipping it, you can add your Google account and set it up just fine after all the setup is finished by tapping on the Market icon.

Quote:
IMPORTANT NOTE: In case you get some lame popup before the initial Android screen asking you to choose between something like "com.google.provisioning" and Setup Wizard, choose the topmost item, do NOT check the checkbox. (It is impossible to take a screenshot of that, so it is NOT shown below.) Follow the prompts. Again, suggest skipping the wizard as soon as possible.


2. Theming the ROM for dummies (picture guide):

2.1 - Lockscreen

After you have finished/skipped the setup wizard, your screen should look like on Picture 1. Go to Settings - CyanogenMod - LockScreen - Style Options. Select Lense as LockscreenStyle and check the Hide rotary arrows. Press Back a couple of times to get back to home screen.


2.2 Wallpaper and status bar transparency - part 1

Hold your finger on the home screen for a while. Select Wallpapers from menu. From the next menu, select Live wallpapers. From the next menu, select MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. On next screen, tap on Settings, go to Common Settings - Picture Source. From the popup menu, choose either Single Picture or Picture Folder. On the prompt, do not forget to check "Use by default for this actions" and tap on MIUI Gallery. Go to wallpapers folder, choose a wallpaper, duh! Press back several times until you get back to the Set wallpaper screen. Tap on Set wallpaper. You are back to your homescreen.


Looks better now, huh? :lol:

2.3 Choosing the theme

Tap the home icon - in the app drawer list until you find Theme Chooser (on the last screen), tap the icon. Tap on Apply button under the MIUI theme. Back to home screen, note the icons in status bar are now changed.


2.4 Status bar transparency - part 2

NOTE: Sorry, this part IS sadly required, I cannot include the patched SystemUI.apk in the ROM, because otherwise there is never any status bar, LOL. Also it causes quite a bit of trouble with the initial setup wizard. NFC. Do not ask me why.

Finishing up!!! Press the power button, choose Reboot - Recovery - OK. Wow, the phone rebooted and you are now in recovery! Go to flash ZIP menu, browse to MIUIGEN71/themes/transparent folder and flash the statusbar_patch.zip!

Reboot.


2.5 Finished!!!

NOTE: If you ever get bored by the transparent MIUI theme, you can undo the patch by flashing MIUIGEN71/themes/nontransparent/statusbar_undo.zip from recovery and use any CM7 theme with this ROM. (A black MIUI theme with non-transparent status bar attached here. To revert to the original transparent theme bundled with the ROM, download the transparent theme and do not forget to flash MIUIGEN71/themes/transparent/statusbar_patch.zip from recovery.)

FAQ:

Q: Can I use this with the new baseband?
A: NO!!! Absolutely NOT!

Q: Not even with the mik's patch?! Will data work with that?
A: NO!!! Absolutely NOT!

Q: Are you planning to add support for new baseband?
A: NO!!! Absolutely NOT! It will be supported when/if mik's ROM supports it. I will NOT do anything about baseband.

Q: But... that sucks! I do not want to downgrade baseband?
A: Go use another ROM, such as the stock LG ****! Do not bother asking on this thread about baseband.

Q: Can I flash this over mik's v6.5.x/6.6.x ROM without wiping /data?
A: Yes, it should work without any problems.

Q: Can I flash this over stock ROM, GingerLOL or whatnot else without wiping /data?
A: NO! Do not bother with complaining about crashes and broken things if you do.

Q: Why franco kernel v1.1-24082011? It is unstable for me, I have random crashed, freezes, reboots, battery drains and it even drinks all beer in my fridge overnight!?!
A: Because the kernel works perfectly fine for me. If you get the stuff above, wipe everything (/data, /cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats), tune down your crazy OC (no, this phone will NOT work @1GHz) and enjoy your fast clean stable ROM with great performance!

Q: I still have kernel problems even after a clean flash? What now?
A: Feel free to flash any other franco 2.6.35 kernel if it works better for you. You can report bugs in latest kernel version to franco on his thread. IMPORTANT: Do NOT bother with reporting issues if you are too lazy to provide useful information about your CPU freqs, governor settings, provide logcat etc. and the only thing you plan to do is moaning about crashes, drains etc.

Q: I am having black screen/split screen bug!!! T3h suxxxx!
A: Sucks to be you, I do not have any such problem. Otherwise, turn off the CRT animation (who needs such stuff). If you get a blackscreen, please stop locking/unlocking the screen like mad every one second. Wait a few seconds at least. Also, there is no need to pull the battery or damage the power button by pressing it zillion times, just touch the screen.

Q: I am having battery drain! The ROM and kernel are horrible!
A: No, the junk you have installed is horrible. Grab BetterBatteryStats, find the offending crap and uninstall it.

Q: Battery life still suxxx! Only will last 3 days!
A: Go get a Nokia 5110.

Q: How can I switch to those other bootanimations that are included?
A: Run terminal emulator, then do this:

Code:
$ su
# selectbootanim

Q: How can I test the bootanimation without rebooting?
A: Use adb:

Code:
> adb shell bootanimation


Press CTRL+C to terminate it.

Q: When I mount the phone to my PC, the wallpaper I set from SD card gets lost from my home screen/lock screen!
A: Nothing I could do about it. Normally, /sdcard can only be mounted once. When you use the phone as mass storage, it gets unmounted from the phone. Go complain to Google.

Q: But it sucks! I have my phone connected and mounted to PC for the whole day, using it as a thumbstick for playing my p0rn collection!
A: Buy a USB stick for like $10. This is a phone, not a storage for your PC. Or grab something like Root Toolbox from the market and try the dual-mount feature there instead.

Q: When I boot the phone, it takes some time before the background picture appears.
A: It takes a while to get the SD card partition mounted to phone. Go complain to Google.

Q: What are those sysro/sysrw scripts good for?
A: As the name suggests, to remount your system read-only/read-write.

Q: How to I use them?
A: Duh, use the terminal, luke!

Code:
$ su
# sysrw

... (do whatever you want now with files under /system)

# sysro
# exit
$


Q: What is nano?
A: A console-based text editor. If you do not know what it means, you do not use it. RTFM!

Q: How do I set the WiFi Tx power so that it does not needlessly drain battery?
A: Use /system/etc/setwifi.sh script. It sets the value to 20dBm.

Q: Can I change that value?
A: Yes, edit the script. (See nano above.)

Q: Could you include my cool 99zomgmakemyphoneflylikehellubercool tweak?
A: No, sorry. I only include reasonable stuff. This ROM and kernel have excellent performance without any tweaks. Flash those yourself and do not bother with reporting resulting issues here. Will NOT fix them.

Well... This rom have plenty of bugs, and sadly the original developer of this rom is too stubborn to even admit the existance of it...

I think the bugs comes from the mix of having a very very unstable kernel with very awful known bugs and the use of crappy apks which replaces the old good functional apks for only the looks...

Promising stability is impossible.

Bugs I had when I used this... for a month:

(I DID NOT: Overclock, install other tweaks than transparent taskbar)

-Weird battery behaviour (sometimes lasted up to 2 days!; in the worst, just a night)
-Installed apps gets deleted from the menu (but installed in the system, worthless since you cannot access to the app but still uses the memory)
-When the rom gets buggy, it restarts itself with the screen issue... fixed easily, putting the phone to sleep and in the wake, the screen looks normal.
(but the restarting thing was loopy... restarted the phone itself w/o doing nothing for half an hour... I had to pull off the battery and wait some time...)
-The screen resolution was weird also... for some reason the apps looked with less space and for some apps it messed up the original look (like zombiebooth, no big deal tho)
-Buggy Videorecording/ photo taking (problems with the app, and with the codecs of the videos recorded with the cam...)
-The Compass was totally off... (no big deal for me tho, but it's a bug)
-Glitchy look for some apps (like FriendCaster, I read before that it was a bug because of some setting of the kernel... but it's a present bug anyway)

This is not acceptable for calling a rom Stable, the only dealbreakers was the restarting stuff and the battery behaviour, because sometimes I needed the phone and it was dead or looping...

You forgot to mention something.. did you do a clean wipe & install? Some are really bugs. But the battery issue is surely a problem from your side.

 

[Mangala_Dharma]

Personally if this is Drnotor's rom, there is no problem with me for overclocking or apps. I put dartktremor's app2sd, no problem. With the ungaze's one, not working to update the kernel. Yes there is a bug with the camera, it hangs, there is this option of blast shot or something, whatever. I select this option and then it works fine. I did clean install, then titanium backup, and I stick with the 240811 kernel as the next one did me fast burning battery on 3G. I do many internet and pandora radio and no games. Before this rom I was on void#forever, now I'll wait for andy's rom, but I don't know why people would have a problem with this rom. It's as good as any other, wifi thethering work, usb i don't know but it's enough for me.

Good battery, overclocking available, fast rom, so far so good.

This ROM works well.

Most of the bugs you mention belong to the kernel (if you read the FAQ you'll see that it mentions something like this, "If problems persist try another version of the kernel"). The compass works fine if you've successfully calibrated your. If you did not work, I can only think that your compass is bad and take your phone to a service technician to review it.

If you still continue with "your" problems then you should go to the forum of dr.notor and report back all this, as seeing who is in charge of the subject's ROM here at XDA (no offense) I do not think that this topic be successful...


Off Topic

Sorry if I respond aggressively but I'm tired of seeing every issue of this section of developers (yes, I am not a developer but as I have space to say) many response where blame the people who make these great Kernels or ROM's, without given the time to figure out that **** is for the problem they have, and always the most problems come from users themselves and not the people who develop these things ...

 

[Mangala_Dharma]

P.S. I don't know how sweattami got to hold this thread, however personally I'd like to see a Thanks to Drnotor in the first post, he did put the rom together after all.
