MIUI CDMA Rom Tips

Just wondering what interesting, useful and cool tweaks you guys have been able to make in the MIUI Rom. Im not talking about adding anything complicated. If it can't be done by installing a Zip from SD or an APK then I am most likely not willing to try it since I am such a noob at all this.
I am currently have a couple of issues.
1. I can't dial *228 to activate my phone on my carrier (not even sure that it matters since the phone is working) without the phone FCing.
2. Still can't send a sms over 160. My guess is that the MIUI has the same issues as Cyanogen since it won't work in that rom either.
3. Beautiful Widgets weather wont geolocate.
I love the Rom. It has a great quadrant score! Just wondering if y'all could share your tweaks and such.

I wonder who you are.. haha.
1 and 3 are known, well, spoken of problems. Hopefully they'll tweak it. The second can be fixed by going into handcent/sms app and selecting split messages. Splitting them will still send all of the message itself, but it just splits the characters by 160 for each message.. not really sure what the deal was there, but it works.

RE: MIUI ROM Tips
As far as OTA updates go, try dialing *228+. It does the same thing. (Found this tip on www .droidforums.com).

[Q] Market issues - Onstar - not compatible?

Ok, got psyched OnStar added 2010 models. However, could not even find the app on my phone - Redemptive Revolution 2.3/Lou's # 9 kernel. So I went to the market on the internet, and it says this application is not compatible with my phone (but has no problem with my Eris, which has been off the VZW network and unused for months).
So I ask around on another forum, and other Dinc folks can get the app, some rooted, some not.
Anyone else having this issue? I have checked the help forums over at the android market, and it seems many, many folks have similar problems, for example, they get a replacement phone, and it's not that they can't reload an app, it's that the market says the phone is not compatible, even though really is. No user or Google-type person has been able to address or even explain the issue.
This is the smartest bunch of android folks I know of, so if anyone has any thoughts, I'd really like this app for my phone, and I would be eternally grateful (for while anyway).

I've not had any issues with the Onstar app myself. I've used it on stock & stock+root, CM6 and CM7 RC1 and RC2 with my Droid inc. Only minor 'issue' was it forgot my login creds.

What ROM are you on. Works fine on my Z ROM on Incredible. Your ROM may be telling the market the wrong phone.

still on Redemptive revolution, which is an Inc-Evo hybrid. But it should not matter. It is still Froyo, and this issue seems to run deep in the market, just so happens I really want this app.

The Froyo part should not matter it is what phone the Market thinks it is talking to.
Try a different ROM like mine or one of the other Z ROM's and if it installs you can copy it from /data/app/ to your SD card and go back to your current ROM and install it. If you do a nand backup of your current you can install another and get back to yours easy

FWIW, I am running CM7 RC2, and the OnStar app works fine.

Verizon Apps on new Sense 3 roms

Looked around quite a bit and did not see any posts similar to this. I'm blind or there really isnt any. Is there a way to get Verizon only apps to work on some of these ROMs based on phones from other networks for the Inc? For example, i installed the "shooter rewind" sense 3 ROM and when i tried to install the Skype mobile for verizon it won't give me the option to download from the market. I also tied to recover it through Titanium, but when i ran it, it told me it only works on verizon phones and closed itself. Any workaround or do need to find the apk for the app from the phone the ROM is based on? Thanks to anyone that can help.

I would imagine that it's being worked on or that we don't currently have the API. Considering Verizon doesn't have a device that currently runs Sense 3.0 stock. The only phones that run Sense 3.0 stock are the HTC Evo 3D and the HTC Sensation. Those are on Sprint and T-Mobile respectively.

Kitchen

Is there an online version of the kitchen? I ask because it is the last resort to get a fully functional Rom on my evo before I allow my daughter to have it other than using my nandroid of my original and unrooting.
I use a 64-bit system Windows 7. Done research and it says a 32-bit Java will work but that is false. I have spent from 9am until an hour ago (3:30pm here now) formating my hard-drive and reinstalled my OS because it didn't work. Still the kitchen doesn't find Java although I tried to instal a 32-bit version. Online is the only way I can do anything or I need a step-by-step on what I need to do to an apk where I can do it on my phone or I am in need of someone building a Rom. So.....is there one online?

What are you doing? Making a fully functional ROM? Why not take a stock rooted or a working GB ROM like reloaded?

Yea just get a stock 5.07 rooted rom. Not really sure what you're trying to do

I am letting my daughter have my Evo. She has been hardcore blackBerry but given their status she is wanting to try Android. I have flashed every Rom on the first 10 pages of Development and what she has settled on as far as wanting most is Energy Rom. There are 3 problems stopping her from being totally happy with it. First is the 9016. After a lot of searching all I can find is it is tied to the Phone.apk. I have been unsuccessful at changing it out. The carousel shows only a grey screen when looking in Personalize but have been unsuccessful at getting the one from Mik3D installed and working since I know the one from that Rom works. The browser not going to mobile view and being to wide unless in landscape has been the only thing I have fixed. i used Root Explorer and deleted it and moved a basic stock in. Somehow it worked although the other things haven't. I had decided to try my hand at the kitchen to see if I could make the changes that way but it doesn't work on my PC regardless of what i try and believe me when I say I have taken extreme measures to make it work. So my hopes are that either someone can point me in the right direction on how to exchange an apk using only what tools I can find for my phone or in the direction of a kitchen online. For my phone I have installed: Root Explorer,File Manager and ZipSign2.

She's that picky? Tell her to get an iPhone. LOL

Even she is smart enough to know the first flip phone I ever purchased from Sprint way back when they finally got small enough to fit in your pocket is still better than the best Apple ever released.
However,with a little help I think I can make my life easier. I flashed Derp3D again and only 2 small things needed. First is the keyboard. How do I get the HTC back on and with dictionary? Last is how do I get the weather widget with sound? Those are the only things needed. Themes will be easy enough to handle.

Have you tried MikG v3.11 ? Uber Stable. Has a lot of Themes, and Mods available.

The newest Jellybread has the 9016 number blocked, or you can use Go SMS and blacklist it, plus everything else you mentioned works

The kitchen won't help you for fixing the things you want to fix )besides the fact that there isn't an online version). The kitchen just essentially makes it easier to do the things you're already doing. But EnergyROm is a Sense 3.5 ROM, which is not what the EVO natively comes with. So, there will ALWAYS be issues with it, like the VVM 9016 texts, no 4G, etc. And trying to swap things in from a Sense 3.0 ROM (Mik3D) will only cause more issues. I think you're going to have to "put your foot down" and let your daughter know she can either have a fully functional ROM that doesn't look exactly as she wants, or she can have the eye candy she wants without full functionality.
There are plenty of fully functional ROMs out there with a Sprint base that don't have the 9016 issue. Honestly, those all seem to be extremely minor issues to me. Sounds like you should just bite the bullet and get her an EVO LTE, lol.
I have seen a lot of good reviews of Kendall's ROM, though. But I'm going to assume that's not what your daughter is looking for. Sounds like she likes the look/widgets of Sense.

I remember back in the day I tried a sense 3.0 rom that didn't do the 9016 or whatever, but I don't see how that bugs her. Its just a text message that would only take 2 seconds to delete. When I ran those roms, it wasn't a big deal to me.
With the sense weather part, still didn't have a problem with that either. Just had to turn sound up.

Evo 4g w/CM 7 and FFC apps

Hi, new here, not new to flashing ROMs though. I've always been able to figure out my problems out on my own or through intensive searching. Today is not the case, hence joining the forum. One of the main reason's I activated this phone recently was to voice chat with Google Hangouts and I was already paying the extra $10 a month for sprint's data usage on my previous "dumb" phone. Everything worked fine on the stock rom, I just wanted more out of the phone.
I have a Sprint HTC Evo 4g. It has hboot 2.18 so I unlocked it through htcdev. Rooted it with s-on and installed Cyanogenmod. I want to retain all the phone's capabilities so I went with the stable 7.2 after learning the drivers for 4g and the FFC aren't supported after gingerbread. All the cameras work as they should in the stock loaded camera app. I update Google talk to hangouts and when I try to use video chat, I get "Camera error." I attempted to use Tango, and the front facing camera doesn't start up either. Audio works fine for both apps. My next steps included trying CM 7.2 nightly and CM7.1; I got the same error. Through further research I found a gapps package with Google Talk with video. Updated this to hangouts, got the same error. Uninstalled the updates and tried the video chat; it worked to my surprise however, I cannot video chat with anyone who has updated to hangouts only with the original Talk app.
I've searched and searched and found references to the problem with no solution. One source even mentioned the newer apps are not compatible with some older roms, but this didn't make sense to me since everything worked on the stock 2.3.5 rom. I found one instance of a solution but the source for the fix is no longer in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22735475&postcount=989
Any advice? Any way to log when the front camera fails? I really want to stick with a stable rom, preferably CM.

Just tried the Thundershock rom and I get the same error... I'm wondering if I should just chalk it up to the apps not supporting older roms. OR, I'm flat out missing something....

Bump.
Still no luck with CM7. I tried Digital Karma V9 and the camera works in Hangouts, but Hangouts fails to load (force close error) after I do anything else on the phone after a fresh reboot.... CaptainThrowback's rooted stock rom works perfectly, but the rom is lacking in customization. I'm guessing I could mod it to my taste but I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this whole ordeal. Only in a perfect world, I can have everything, huh?
For now, I have opted to go with CM 7.2 until I can play different ROMs some more. I may not have any time this weekend like the past weekend so I just need a basic functioning phone for the time being...

Running Classic rom with some success as long as I don't reboot the phone. Otherwise I get the same error as in DigitalKarma. Simple fix is to uninstall and reinstall the Hangouts update. Not a Sense fan though...

Still un-answered...
Well, I've went with Skype (modified by theoso) on CM7.2 since it seem to be the only ROM to really cater to me. ADW launcher, absolutely stripped down, etc. Skype works as a compromise to ROM choice and Hangouts. I'd say I'm happy to have something rather than nothing. Especially for a phone whose forum support is a thing of the past.
