One question. Does this rom have the tool box?
If the tool box you are referring to is the miui.us tool box than no...the tool box isn't supported any longer. I may look to do something along those lines though as I still have all the original files for the toolbox from when I was porting miui for the S3...the only issue is the tool box was for 4.1.2 and not 4.2.2.

Okay so it doesnt allow you any customizing like the toolbox use to do. So basically MIUI is just a rom if you want theme control.

I still can't get passed the infinite nfc and system force closes.. did everything that I usually do:
---------

EDIT:

For everyone who is stuck with the infinite NFC and System force closes, make sure to "Wipe /System" (In CWM under Mount/ as it says... when u "Wipe Data / Factory Reset", it doesn't wipe System from what I've found.
Once I did this everything was working fine!

Just wanted to report that running the jfltexx ROM from miuiandroid.com works perfectly on i337m.

I just had to add the apn for LTE and then enable it from the *#*#4636#*#* menu.

Just curious... since all they have is the very generally labeled "jflte" file for the SGS4, and it shows as v.3.7.26 ... is that just the build release number for the dev's sake? like in otherwords is it still MIUI v5? I am confused since at least this port is MIUI v5

(... probably a super stupid question but I definitely had to ask it lol.)

Do you notice a good improvement with that official ROM over this ported one?

3.7.26 is the latest MIUI official. I don't know about more or less stable because it's my first install ever. I do know that it didn't have MIUI camera, which I didn't like at all. So yes it is still MIUI v5, I don't know what the relationship is between the build version and the MIUI version.

Interesting... it's too bad that everyone's experience with installing the same ROM's happens to be so different. For example, with this ported ROM my camera works perfectly fine, no force closes like other people are mentioning... I've had the couple of random restarts (1-2 a day... and that's with all day stress-testing usage) that others are talking about though.

Yeah, interesting, I don't understand why you would label it as MIUI v5 (v.3.7.26) for ex. lol... oh well.
Oh also, I am just making a guess here but shouldn't this thread's name probably be something like v.3.7.25? Unless there is another version already that high but just like you're saying and I saw, the latest official version is 3.7.26.

Hmmm to backup everything and try the official ROM and restore apps + data, or just stick with this unofficial port... hmmm..

ROM works great except I can't find my External SD Card. Searched here and around and can't believe there's nothing about this. Everything else working great after full wipe. Would appreciate someone pointing me there. It's a 64 GB card. Thanks.

You do not seem to understand the MIUI release schedule or maybe its the labeling format.... This thread is for a ROM based on MIUI 3.7.5 which was released friday July 5 and is v5... The newest release, which is available elsewhere and unless markhuk wants it released here, should be talked about in the general thread... Or maybe the MIUI android forum. MIUI doesn't have night lies... Newest updates are released weekly on fridays

I have a question in regards to the Play Store. It seems that the Play Store doesn't show any of my purchases and I keep getting an error message saying I can't connect to the network. Everything is working fine but the Play Store not showing my purchased apps. Anyone having any problems like this? Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Make sure to check your user id used with play store. I manually set it from the Play store settings and then reboot. I had to do this a couple times to get it to stick, then you should see your purchases.

What libraries did you have to change? Why not just install and change the APN? Posting someone else's work isn't a good idea.

Search and you will find. If you have the international s4 then why not visit bmarko's post regarding his port for the international s4. You may even find your answers their. As far as posting someone else's work. I never take credit for someone else's work especially if I'm only making a small change such as this with this ROM. I can always port it from scratch like I have in the past for the S3 but why bother when we already have something that works that needs a minor tweak. I really don't have the time or interest in porting from scratch anymore.

IF you could post a port and keep it support and IF you have the time. I would surely use it as a daily driver sir!

You are absolutely right, I have no idea how their release schedule or labeling format works lol.



On a side-note however, this unofficial port has worked well as a daily driver for myself except for a few random restarts (maybe 1-2 each day or so)... but the latest thing that I can't figure out is why there is no framework for viewing videos... it just always tells me "cannot play video" if I try to watch anything from my gallery (vids I recorded using this ROM even..)

If anyone knows a fix for that, it would be very much appreciated, otherwise maybe I'll just super backup everything and try the official release for a bit.
