Changing to MIUI rom - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im using Htc Desire,I wanted to flash to Miui rom from Supernova Extreme rom, i noticed that there were 4 MIUI roms outthere, MIUI AU, MIui XJ, Detox Miui & Portugese Miui
Which one shall i Use?
N I noticed that they mention A2SD need to be activated, what does tis mean?
Currently I have 13GB fat32 and 1GB ext4
hope to hear some replies soon

Well, all MIUI Roms are very good. No doubt.
I use the MIUI XJ because that is what i prefer.
But ive heard that the AU is supposed to ru smoother.
I have heard about the A2SD activation thing here is a link: miui-au.com/faq/a2sd/
(Im sorry about the inconvenience with the link but because im a new user on xda i cant post real links.)
BTW i also have the same setup for the SD card.
Cheers.

To activate a2sd install terminal from market
Code:
su
a2sd reinstall
a2sd zipalign

[Q] Recommended ROM

Im currently using cyanogenmod 6.1.1 on my touch, which is amazing...but i really like to use sense based roms.. i tried CR_Mod_2.13.531.1 OTA and did darktremor app2sd but i only got 60mb free, but the phone was very laggy ..i dont need ant t-mobile apps, coz i use an unlocked phone..which sense rom is recommended among these
-GratiousSlide 1.0
-3rdSense 0.60
-CR_Mod_2.13.531.1 OTA
-HaXspresso 2.2.1..
i would like to use the rom with more free internal memory..
Please advice me on this..thank u..
It sounds like you have a slow or low quality sd card if for any reason darktremor lagged your phone. The best option for you would be to S-OFF your phone and follow the instructions for creating custom MTD partitions. There is step by step instructions in a thread by HebrewToYou in the dev section.

you should try the rc1 cm7 from cyanogenmod...haxspresso and cr mod have only about 70.mb of internal memory for your apps,gratiouslide i dont know and 3rd sense i heard its good.
Ive been using the GratiousSlide rom with apps2sd and it works like a charm. Ive got a lot of apps the need to be on the internal memory and only have about 30mb left on it and it still runs perfect. Definitely one of the best roms out there. Only thing ive noticed that doesnt work is the keyboard light, and Swype needs to be reinstalled. Id recommend it to anyone.
Try LegendtoSlide.
Its stable, has HTC Sense and is pretty decent in the speed department.

3rdSense - 1.00 w/ a2sd by DT is an awesome combo.

[Q] Which ROM?

Hi all, I have HTC desire and I am constantly running out of internal memory I am going to root the phone to solve this. I am a complete noob to this so which custom ROM would be easy to install and stable out of the following Cyanogenmod7, LeeDroid 3.0.5 or MIUI ROM, Thanks
Id try the cyanogenmod or miui.
Cyanogenmod 7 or Gingervillain plus CMHBOOT(from alpharev.nl) can solve your problem I think
Thanks for replies jroc716 & plohoi. I will have closer lock at the ROMS ye have recommended
all these rom's r running fast and stable. internal-memory problems had gone by integrating ext-partition(s). so which rom u take is just a matter of ur personal favors.
I have had look at the ROMS suggested in this tread and I am going to flash MIUI Rom by xavierjohn22 but not sure which version is most stable. Should I flash the froyo version (2.2) or 2.3.4 gingerbread (latest version) or 2.3 gingerbread. . I be grateful for any help on this, thanks
1st of all you better obtain an SD Card at least Class4 then follow the guide with the link I will give below. This will help you move your applications to SD and have more space.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
And as a ROM Choice, better use InsertCoin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
Thanks alpivelopx for the reply. Ya I have class 4 SD card and I have carefully studied the noob proof guide just can’t make up my mind on which rom to flash.
I likr the look of MIUI have any experience using this rom? Which version is most stable?
I have had a look at InsertCoin and having the new Sense would be cool.
I use google maps a lot and assume this bug “compass doesn't always point north” will be a problem. Is there a stable Froyo version?

At first: One cannot say, which is the best rom. It's a personal feeling. You should read the posts where the authors describe there themes and then you should decide. If you cannot, just try one. If you like it, stay with it.
I think you should install the latest version of MIUI. It's usually the most stable version.
I cannot find a (stable) Froyo version of Insertcoin. Maybe ask the author (baadnewz) if he can upload it for you.
Thanks Matdroid, I think your right. I'll try a few roms and decide which is best for me.
I can recommend Leedroid 2.4.1.
A very good and stable Sense rom with A2SD+!

Like others have said... it's more of a personal opinion with ROMs as to their speed and usefulness but if you can get by with the compass issue until it gets resolved (hopefully shouldn't be too long as devs are working like crazy at porting sense 2.1/3.0 to desire) I warmly recommend InsertCoin.
The chef is pushing updates like there's no tomorrow an also makes time to answer people's questions (how he manages it I don't know...) and also you have all the info you need in the first 2 post of the thread.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
PS: regarding speed, keep in mind that benchmark apps (Quadrant) don't tell the full tale. Try the ROMs for yourself.
I second leedroid 2.4.1..... fast and stable with a2sd+. I wouldn't bother with gingerbread yet still a bit buggy
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
+1 on leedroid 2.4.1
My first not-htc-rom was leedroid v.3.0.5. It was nice. But since a while i use redux v1.2. I like it much more than leedroid, although you have to readjust a little to use a non-sense-rom.
The best froyo sense rom is the InsertCoinHD 2.0.1 Data2Ext.
The best gingerbread rom is InsertCoin v25 CM7.
Keep in mind that Cynogenmod and Miui don't include Htc Sense on it.
I've been using on Leedroid (froyo) for sometime and it was great and stable.
I'm running now Insertcoin v25 (gingerbread) and it's also great. I got 2 issues that I can live with - the compass issue (not pointing north) and the camera makes my phone boot itself sometimes. but other than that it's great.
Both roms have a2sd+, and if you want something stable than I recommend Leedroid 2.4.1. After some time you can get gingerbread roms based on the official release from htc (something like mid-june or a bit later)
Hi
Hmm running out of internal Space *gg*
I Recommend you use InsertCoin, or an ROM Which fits on CM Hboot, Here is the System Partition smaller, difference space is added to userdata, so "more internal" Memory for you.
Pls. Think if you change your SD Card, or crash of it, your OS Cant booting because 1/3 of our System is stored on it. (sdext)
S-Off required.
If you don´t want to manipulate hboot (afraid of crashing bootloader), use any App2SD Rom.
I have many Problems with DATA2SD and DATA2Whatever Scripts.
App2SD is very good.
*I User Insertcoin GS_V26* and i´m happy with it.
Baadnewz is providing these Rom with STock or CM Hboot.
Just Look at a few Roms, (Download 2-3 Roms and test it) an fix install it, which you mostly like. ))
Sorry for my bad english, i´m from austria *hmp*

I recommend Oxygen or MIUI! Both very good and stable!

@MindVision1Thanks for the reply. I am right in saying the Hboot resizes the internal memory to allocate different amount of space to the system. You can get different hboot's from http://alpharev.nl/ so I am right in saying the cm hboot you recommend is the Bravo CM7 on alpharev site.
So If I go with the CM Hboot I have to get a custom rom that fits the 130MB system memory and will also have 300MB free for apps on the internal memory.
If some of the rom is on the sd card and I remove it or it gets damaged I will have a major problem?
How do you know what size a ROM is?
My desire is stock with no branding

Choosing MIUI ROM

I want to flash my desire with MIUI ROM. Coluld you please help me finding good MIUI ROM for my phone? I saw several threads about miui and confused.
I want to use MIUI due to it's special features like call forwarding notification. This feature is not available in any other roms. I also request MIUI concern to introduce some other features like call waiting notification.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957291
http://www.miui-au.com/
You can try these. And next time, please take some time to search, these two threads are quite popular, they are not hidden, thus easy to find.
Cheers!
Follow my Signature.. use MIUI-XJ X-part
+1 for MIUI -XJ X-part
I think MIUI_AU is the best.
Can also recommend miui xj, but a2sd+ version (did not try d2ext x-part version yet, will do sometime).

MIUI already have an option to all call waiting notifications to be made.
All of the MIUI derivatives have great communities and followings, so you cant go wrong with any of them,
That said, I use MIUI_Au (perhaps being the man in charge has something to do with it).
MIUI_Au may not have their ROMs out the quickest, or squash bugs the fastest, but the English translations are second to none.
Cheers,
Josh.

MIUI 1.7.22 X-part
X-part gives you upto 2GB internal space by using a partition on SD card and fooling the phone into you having more internal space.
You need a SD class 4 and above for this but some get away with class 2, the best thing you wont see that low space message ever again
A2SD version
I dont like A2sd because not all the app is moved to SD card some of it still sits on real internal, so you will soon fill it up and get that low space message.

[Q] different miui roms

what is difference between:
1) miui_au
2) miui_xj
3) miui_detox
All are same.. just diffrent DEVs who are translating the actual chinese MIUI .. you go with the one where you get more support and more frequent updates. I am using MIUI-XJ ... and I love it.
yea was thinking of jumping on that. coming from insertcoin 1.0.8 and previously cm7.0.3, anything i should know about miui-xj?
Searching miui xj thread will answer all your questions.
Sent from Oxygen
well I am using MIUI-XJ Xpart and it required ext partition.It is very stable and youy don't have to do anything, app install on ext partition automatic.

oh cool so my insertcoin a2sd will work with miui-xj quite nicely then.

Which is fastest and stable Desire HD Rom for Desire?

Hello All,
i have a rootet HTC Desire with this custom room ROM][28/06] ✰.Reflex S v2.1.7 Gingerbread 2.3.3. I like it but it is time to change.
I am looking for a Rom which is fast, smooth and stable.
Have A2sd+ and and many background pics
I want free intern storage and use A2sd+ cause i have 16 GB sd card inside.
Also i wanna ask: if the Rom has A2sd+ inkluded do i must do something to activate? Or do the Rom install the apps directly to ext3 part?
I know i have many questions but i hope somebody can help me even with short answers.
Waiting for you advices for the right rom for me
Thanks alot
Best Regards

Google Maps are missing in MIUI rom
Hy guys!
Some time ago I was at LeeDroid rom, it worked very good and stable.
After that I transfered to the MIUI rom which was also satisfying, instalation was good(it went well), but problem occured, google maps and youtube apps aren't there. DOes anybody have similar problems?
Thanks in advance!
i was using Ossrams SGBS 2.x rom and it was superb,fast,stable this is almost like stock DHD port with sense 2.1 off course gingerbread
but now i returned to Baaadz InsertCoin 1.1.0 wich is the best and fastest rom so far for desire, at least for me
I use AceSMod007, it is very fast and stable with good battery life
New version should be uploaded soon
you don't need to do anything about a2sd+ just to partition your SD card
