MIUI for NOOB's, by a NOOB preview - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi
I have been using MIUI for quite a long while now, and prefer the interface to any ROM that I have used so far, yes, even Cyanogenmod.
Call me a NOOB, yes I admit to that.
I made a video highlighting the most important features of this ROM, and what distinguishes it from other ones.
Please leave your feedback about anything, except my Scottish-Pakistani accent.
Thanks
Here's the link to the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14KY3HrnVoE

I forgot to add in the video. MIUI also has a nice browser made from Miren Browser.

I usually really like MIUI but I just did a full wipe for my Incredible and installed the latest weekly and it says that I lost root. Any ideas?

You dont actually lose root. I think it starts to say S-on. That happens with Sense devices.
It will still operate apps that only work with root, and will have superuser access, but it will say S-on.
To put on any of the Sense 3.5 ROMS you need S-off, so you would be better of putting an older Sense rom with S-off first and then flashing the 3. 5 ROM
Same thing happened with me

Cool, thanks for the informative video!

If you are under the impression that you have lost root because you can't find superuser, or because applications can no longer obtain superuser access, then it's no big deal. Superuser can be found in the "Tools" folder, and it must be opened and allow requests must be made active in its settings. MIUI is the only ROM that I have seen that requires this. If you haven't tried this already, try it.

The latest version of MIUI, the one I have shows a SuperUser app for me. Maybe now showing up on yours.
As the person with the above post said, that is probably the case, because you can not apply a ROM without root access. (I think)(yeah thats me not being sure)(noob)(myself)

Superuser app!
In the lastest builds of miui there is a new setup in the superuser app, just click on options, settings, ROOT permission, turn on and your good to go
hope it helps

Who here thinks MIUI theme store is amazing?

Most stable Sense FroYo rom

Hello
I've tried most of the Sense FroYo roms now and I can't make up my mind which I find most stable.
DeVillian, LeeDroid, UDK and Adams rom always seem to reboot every now and again. What makes it harder (for me anyway) is that I would prefer most Sense apps (Plurk, Footprints, Car Panel) and I would also like to install stock Contacts app. Pretty hard to find a rom which I can install the apps I want and performs well.
What rom does everyone think is most stable?

Same here. Really happy with it.
I'm using Pay87's froyo+sense rom, have been for over a week and there haven't been any reboots or stability problems.
Most of the froyo roms seem pretty stable now. Is it possible you have an app which is misbehaving?
ive used lee droid and modaco and both are stable. Did you perform the full factory/cache/davlik cache wipe before flashing the new rom?
I do a complete wipe every time I flash a rom. Probably me doing something horrifically wrong.

It's currently in the oven
But i've always had trouble with MoDaCo roms though. Don't think i've ever had one install properly
Edit: However, if this does work, it'll (hopefully) mean I can flash Mythamps Contacts/Dialer theme
I havent had one install properly either. It always gets stuck at the HTC white screen on boot up. Both 2.1 and 2.2 custom ROMS.
Anyone have the same problem or know why this is happening?

Do you have an ext3 partition on your SD card? Most custom roms has a2sd in it, hence an ext partition is a must.

True, but when the 2.1 mcr roms were out, we didnt have fakeflash, thus not having to unpartition it on initial boot. even when tried with an ext, it still wouldnt boot. Once got it to the Sense loading screen, but it wouldnt move on from that
As usual with mcr, it isnt booting. stuck at white htc screen
Since using ROM manager I haven't had a single boot loop with any ROM and I have tried most! My current favourite is MoDaCo R5 which allows me to include just what I need using the online kitchen. I have had no problems at all with this release.
MoDaCo R6 has just been released and adds the standard Contacts app and other minor additions.
I've had problems with most froyo roms. Imo none are as stable as the eclair roms.

MCR R6 is the most stable I've found. And I totally agree with the kitchen. Most devs are keeping QuickOffice in their roms as it isn't available in the market, so the kitchen is great for removing that. Absolutely love it.

[Theme] NexTheme Port fastludeh22's OTA de-odex'd stock rom

This is a port of one of the best theme ever made for android devices called NexTheme by manup456, all credit goes to him! I wanted to run this theme on fastludeh22's OTA de-odex'd stock rom found HERE which is what I'm running. This is a full rom flash as there isn't a template for this rom out yet. A wipe shouldn't be required if coming from the same rom, for all others I recommend a full wipe and as usual if something goes wrong I didn't force you to flash it.
Download rom/theme
Download kernel from link above
Put both on sdcard
Boot into recovery
Do a backup
Flash Rom/Theme
Flash Kernel
Reboot and enjoy!
IF YOU AREN'T RUNNING OTA DE-ODEX'D VERSION DO NOT FLASH!!!!!!
DOWNLOAD
Nice to see that wonderful yet simple rom get more support. At least until the kinks are worked out of CM Will try it out later today... Thanks!
I got really excited til I seen it wasn't for cm..lol ....thanks for the port of this tho seriously the best theme ever
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yeah i got excited myself till i realized it wasn't compatible with CM =\
Sheesh! Come on guys.... we have a theme or two for CM. We really needed one for stock ota. When CM gets out of RC... expect much more stuff for it and then stock will become less and less used. Stability is nice to have.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH This is the one I've been waiting for. THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Gahhhhh! Been trying for like 30 minutes and I can't get the darned 4 letter captcha. It won't come up. Anyone else having this problem from the phone?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I will try my best to release it for cm as well I just prefer running a stock rom and customizing it myself that's why I did the stock rom first. Will try and get it out asap.
One thing is missing though... the intergraded froyo tethering.
wifi doesn't work either...

Works just fine, I just flashed. You have to pick a kernel and flash that over the ROM. I used CM bacon bits.

Do you mean flashing bacon bits after the theme is installed? Wifi not working for me either. Was working when I first ran the stock de-odex'd rom but stopped after I installed the theme.

Yeah, native tethering seems to disappear on every OTA stock theme I have used or made. not sure why or how it happens. I haven't figured it out but the problem is in the services.jar. Just download wifi tether and wired tether which work perfectly until a fix is found...
Loving this theme, thanks for the work porting it over. It's running fantastic. One request however, if you ever update it, when scrolling through my contacts by letter (dragging the bar on the right) the popup that is supposed to show the letter, is black on black. Let me know if you don't know what I mean, I'll try to explain it more clearly.

[Q] So I just rooted and flashed Cyanogen

... But I no longer have the Market, or any of my contacts... in fact, it seems that everything is gone.
Can someone tell me how this is properly done? :/
And by the way, if anyone has any decent Gingerbread ROMs, I'd love that
I had the same issues so I went back to virtuas 0.8.1 wich is sweet. I think I'm going to wait intill cynamod 7.0 comes out, speaking of that does anyone know what the progress is on that? How far away can we expect? I'm super pumped
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
You need to download the gapps zip aswell. The zip will contain the Google apps your looking for. I know for a fact cyanogen links them on the first post of all this treads along with making them available on rom manager. Just go to the first post click his link to the rom and you'll find it on his CyanogenMod forum. They could be right under the download link to the rom.
First post, download the Google adding and install like you could any other zip.

just check out the cm7 in the g2 development section and youll see how far they have gone, and when itll be released.
You didn't also flash the Google Apps. You need to do both. CM doesn't include the Google Apps per a copyright dispute with Google. The other ROMs include them just because CM was the first big ROM and Google asked them to stop.
Google Apps can be downloaded separately from the CM site, ROM Manager, or XDA.

[ROM][Port] FroYo 2.2 - CM6.2.0 by Jaybob-G0ku

Having ported a GB ROM i figured i'll try my hand at a froyo port,
searched through the cdma threads again
and found a Froyo rom built by jaybob one of the cdma's finest developers
n began porting it
this is an aosp rom and is very much stable for daily use
for the moment i've only ported the black version and default version of the rom m hoping as time passes by i'll port all the themed versions found in the original thread
The original thread is over Here!
Now on to the ROM
I've added in the basic gapps package for ease of downloads
FroYo 2.2.1 CM6.2.0 stable[Default edition
FroYo 2.2.1 CM6.2.0 stable[Black Edition]
if you want full gapps just wipe cache and dalvik before you flash after 1st reboot
Full Gapps Package
i missed out provisions.apk
so plz flash this after flashing rom
Provisions-update PLZ Flash!
added email application in attachments
although i've added in the basic gapps package plz flash the full gapps package simply because i tend to make mistakes
Themes and fixes Made by Habarug for this ROM(Nice work and a big thank you to Habarug)
ICS THEME
Naked simplicity
Mod for the pulldown bar
Thanks to jaybob and elelinux based on whose roms this port was made

Compared to Decked ? Hmm, difficult to say at this stage. Feels fast and definately lighter. Apps2SD works BTW as does GPS Google Nav. Am still at work and now V. low on battery so have stopped fiddling till i get home to my charger.
So far would have to say this is at least as fast as any froyo i've used with my usual setup.
This one feels really good Will try it for a while, and if i still like it i will mash together a theme to make it complete for me
well,this ROM is very smooth,feels quick enough for daily use..
experienced no lags so far,we'll see how it runs in the next few days..
now if only Habarug ports his ICS theme from VE6 (as look is not really an upside of this room )
lol ur running the black edition or default?
Default.I just dont like the statusbar actually .
Would like to try black but dont like to restore all the apps again. Lazy lazy

This thread is meant for people with questions regarding my Kitkat ROM.
Why did I create this thread?
I want to keep my Development thread clean.
What can I ask/post about?
Almost anything, as long as it is related to me or the ROM.
Some examples;
"Does INT2EXT work with this rom?"
"Does supercharger work with this rom?"
"Where are you from?"
And so on...
Feel free to help each other out! And please, stop posting about this in the development thread.
Well I now feel officially obliged to apologize for ****ting in your development thread.

I had it installed on P11. You have to patch services.jar (there's a windows tool to do it for you here).
I had a lot of freezing problems before and after installing it. They weren't the same after I installed it; not necessarily better, just different. I have no way of knowing if it was supercharger or an app or some sort of interaction between two or more things.
I'm on 3.1.0p1 now and I have no intention of using supercharger because my Desire is more responsive and better at multitasking now than it ever was on Gingerbread with supercharger.
sorry to ask what exactly is/does supercharger?

I can't say, I don't use my desire. But.. If someone else here were to install Netflix (No need to login, just try to start) that'd be great.
Get me a logcat and I'll see what I can do.
adb logcat -c <press enter>
adb logcat > netflix.txt <press enter> and start netflix. then upload it somewhere (like pastebin?)
I would ask for Aroma Installer with which we can be able to choose between different scripts (A2SD and INT2EXT) and misc.
And....what about trying Cyanogenmod settings to be able to customize even further?

Using Aroma = more bugs. No thank you.
Well.. That's Cyanogenmod and not Evervolv.
Hi Nikez, Just curious, any reason you use a2sd and not other scripts (d2ext, int2ext etc)? Speed, stability? So people won't ask and try other alternatives as you as dev explain the benefit.
By any chance, did anyone try endomondo on the new p1 release? On p11 I had a problem that every time I tried viewing the map, the phone froze.. not sure if it was some issue with gapps. Anyone hit anything similar?
@nikez thanks for the awesome JB ROM. My Desire is still kicking along after nearly 2.5 years!
I have just installed the latest update 3.0.0p11, flashed the 4.1.2 version of google apps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed) and setup app2sd.
When I view the available space using Titanium Backup I only have 36.8kB free in System Rom partition. Is that normal on stock Hboot?
Also, I installed the latest Google Calendar update from the Play Store. I now have two calendar apps installed. Has anyone else tried this yet? Do I need to remove the other one from /system?
I would like to thank you deeply for this amazing ROM. I've been searching a perfect rom for a long time, but I think I am very close to end my search now while using your ROM. Very fast, very versatile, almost stock ROM. I love simplicity and this is absolutely perfect.
The only problem I had was a problem with camera - I know this is an annoying issue with many ROMs and it's probably not very well made in the Android itself. Do you think it will get better? I understand that it probably does not depend on you, but I believe this is the last thing that is truly missing to your ROM. (But I am no power user, just a casual user).
And again, thank you for (imho) the best Jelly Bean ROM available here, and I am seriously considering a donation. Keep up the good work!
