I proudly present to you...... Mi-Roid
Mi-Roid is my port of the crespo MIUIAndroid weekly build with many additions, tweaks and mods added together for a great user experience. If there’s something you'd like added in feel free to post or pm me
For those of you wondering what Miui is.... that is a hard thing to describe but in a genreality it is a complete rebuild of android based on AOSP from the ground up. It has a build in theme manager that makes Cyanogen's look like childs play, you can change almost any little thing instead of applying an entire theme or you can apply an entire theme. It has build in virus scanning, autostart app control, flashlight app and all the goodies of cyanogen or other AOSP roms but in a whole new fashion. It is sort of IPhoneish but still feels like android not some apple product. If you dislike the launcher feel free to download any of your standard favourite launchers and use them, it'll free up some memory too.
Check out this video showing what Miui is
A few of my favorite features are listed below:
**While on the lockscreen if you press and hold home the flashlight will turn on for 30sec
**While on the homescren if you long press home the memory manager comes up to clear/free up memory
I plan on updating by Sunday night or Monday morning following the friday release of each weeks build. This will give me a few days to make sure the basics are working and to try and add features as i work a lot during the week and weekend gotta survive this cruel world somehow
If you have issues or questions please post them up here as someone may be able to help you on the forum before i check my PM's or get online to read/post.
Please Read the rest of this post and the ones below it for all info regarding issues and install before asking a question, i know it's pointless to ask this but maybe it'll save me one headache and at least one noob a thrasing from the senior members.

Previous Builds - will be posted soon
Install and Setup Directions Below in 2nd Post
Common Issues, Solutions and FAQ in 3rd Post
I advise doing a complete wipe for each build and not "dirty" flashing each weeks new build as this could cause issues.
If you are already running Miui you can also use the included backup tool to backup your apps and data, beware that this app does not backup paid for apps, so for example it will backup Titanium Backup but not the Pro Key so you'll have to download some apps via the market again
**Install Instructions***
1) Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data
2) Download the latest Mi-Roid version and place at the "Root" of your SD Card
3) Boot into Clockwork or whatever recovery you use and make a backup
4) Do a complete wipe, this would be your dalvik cache, cache, data, system, & boot.
5) Select the Install zip from SD option
6) Select the latest Mi-Roid version you just downloaded
6a) ***Optional*** Install Kernel Of Choice
7) Once install is completed reboot the system and let it boot up
8) After the system has booted up you can reboot into Clockwork and restore your data
***** BEWARE THERE IS A 30 SECOND TO 1 MINUTE LONG BLACK SCREEN BEFORE THE MIUI.US BOOT IMAGE COMES ON. THIS IS NORMAL, JUST WAIT A MINUTE AND YOU'RE BOOT UP WILL START****
***Things to do Upon 1st boot***
-Open MiuiStats from the pulldown and save the preferance to enable reporting, this lets Miui know we're using their ROM and to keep making it for us
-Open the Download Manager and go into the Settings and set the warning limit to 50mb and then turn off the Data download prompt to stop the market not letting you download huge apps. it will only give you a warning to use wifi on files over 50MB, but if uncheck the download on wifi only button and click proceed it'll download even those.
-Open the Play Store and sign into your Google Account
-While everything is Syncing open up Settings and select your google account. Select the option "Location &Settings" and turn it on. This will allow Google Maps and all other Google Services to use GPS for location locks, if you don't do this then GPS will work for all other apps but Google ones
-Open the Permission Manager, this is Superuser for Miui, and click on Manager root apps and turn it on or else your apps won't get superuser permissions. there is a series of 4 or 5 questions it asks before you click accept to root access on apps, so beware.
-Download the following apps
- Voodoo Sound
- Script Manager - this is for supercharging
-Open the Camera as the 1st start up takes a few seconds to a minute to initialize and sometimes it will fc and you'll need to open it again and wait
-Reboot into Clockwork, fix permissions, and Enjoy MI-Roid
****Optional**** Open Script Manager and supercharge your phone - see the FAQ for some important info on supercharging do's and don'ts
-Reboot and Enjoy MI-Roid
I'll post more as i think about it and get to the FAQS section below later tonight and i have screen shots too, just very tired from porting the toolbox and work this weekend
*****FAQS******
Q) What Kernel Is Included with this Rom?
A) Matrix CFS v24
Q) Do I need to flash gapps over this?
A) Nope, the google account framework is included as well as the latest PlayStore.apk, just download whatever apps you want from the Play Store. However here is a link the latest GAPPS working on Miui
Q) When I Send A Text Over 160 characters the reciepient gets a garbled message
A) This won't happen anymore because i modified the app to convert a sms to an MMS as soon as you hit the 160 character limit
Q) How Do I Supercharge My Phone
A) Go here to and download the latest version from zeppelinrox's thread, be sure to thank him too. Once you have downloaded the latest v6 script place it at the "Root" of your SD card. Open up script manager, be sure to give it root access. Select the v6 supercharger scipt and mark the little su icon to run it as su. Click on run, and follow the on screen instructions.
*****This is very important, when setting up your drivers options, do not, i repeat DO NOT select to apply the "Miscellaneous Tweaks & 3G Enhancements", a better version of these are in my init.d scripts!!!!! You also don't need to apply the wheel alignment either as that is another script already provided****
Q) I see lots of apps running when i first start my phone and don't want some of them running
A) Go into the Security Center folder and open the App Manager app, you can use it to select what apps and their services start and run in the background at boot
Q) The stock lockscreen is laggy
A) Yes it is, this is widely known in the Miui community, but it has a plethora of options built into it. If you want a faster one download any v4 theme and go into the theme manager under the mix section and apply it. The same goes for just about any thing or apperance you don't like about stock Miui, you can apply whole themes or just select parts
Nice work. gonna have to try this
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
Do you need Miui gapps from the site or any gapps will do?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
you don't need gapps, the google framework for google accounts and playstore are included, any other gapps can be downloaded from the market. do not flash gapps from CM or other AOSP roms as you'll get a few apps that shouldn't be there
if for some reason someone needs a certain gapp let me know, but this is the NS4G a CDMA phone only available in the US so we shouldn't have any restrictions on apps
Great work. Thanks for the port.. I've been waiting to try out a JB build of MIUI. You just made my weekend.

No problem, the JB version of Miui is quite nice. if you are going to flash a custom kernel i had the least amount of issues with Mathkids Matrix v23, it has voodoo sound and blinking BLN built in. I just updated my FAQ post but i have had severe issues with several of the other kernels in terms of bluetooth and battery drain so beware
Wow.. finally someone port jb miui for nexus s 4G, thank you
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Awesome... I love MIUI...
Can anyone post some screenshots?
Not bad! Going to give a run through.. Seems fine so far.
Screenshots attached as requested. This is right after first boot.
This looks AWESOME! I went back to stock jellybean, but I'm going to root and install this later! How does battery life seem so far? Yeah, yeah, I know, give it a couple of days for the kernel to settle, but still... xD
Can anyone trying this confirm if 4g works?

haven't used miui in awhile does it still show high usage when u kill apps going to try when i get home wat kernel is everybody using thanks
sick. thanks for the confirmation.. on rasbean now but may have to give this a go....i miss miui and the ics version was crap, but the gb version didnt have 4g.
It's a little "heavy" feeling but MIUI isn't exactly a lightweight ROM so I expected that.. I had tried the ICS version and it was unbearable slow.. So far this is pretty damn good all things considering (feature filled custom JB ROM on 2 year old phone)
Nice ROM at lease jellybean miui is fast & smooth when compared to miui ICS which was way to laggy but miui is not my cup of tea I'm rocking Rasbean

I'm pleased to present a WIP (work in progress) pre-release of my next Android 2.1 based MoDaCo Custom ROM for the GSM HTC Hero! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.
This is a sneak preview of the base that i'll be using for the full MCR release... to give you all a chance to play, tweak, test, comment etc. etc.
About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM on your device, you must have a custom recovery image installed. You can read more about how to install a CRI on your device in this topic.
Features Included
•Based on the Chungwa 2.1 release
•Rooted with Superuser 2.1 by ChainsDD
•Built with the latest version of MCR build process which reduces the size and boosts the speed of the ROM
•STOCK KERNEL
•Rooted boot image with 'adb remount' permission and superuser APK
•busybox with Droid Explorer support
•terminfo and settings in boot.img to allow nano etc. use
•System dalvik-cache moved to /cache partition (cachedalvikcache)
•MCR version displayed in 'About' screen
•Added HTC_IME from Legend
•Added APN database to enable auto-configuration of Euro APNs
•Added Click-Drag rearrange to Rosie / Sense
•Added Voice Dialer
•Added Voice Search with optional standard android keyboard
•Updated Google Maps
•Optional dropbear (SSH server, username 'root, port 2222, password displayed in 'About' screen)
•Optional A2SD and A2SD+ (old style) via the online kitchen
•Optional baked in Wavesecure via the online kitchen (installed to system partition for maximum security)
•Optional WiFi Status indicator
•Removed Chinese content (will be available as an optional kitchen component)
•Completely de-odexed for optimal customisability
To install this ROM:
•Ensure you have a custom recovery image installed (see 'requirements' above)
•Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your SD card
•Restart your device in recovery mode (power on with the home button pressed)
•PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP FROM THE MENU
•Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to your memory card
Note: As this is a non-odexed build, the first boot will take a while. After you have completed your initial setup, I recommend rebooting to allow the cachedalvikcache script to free up space on /data.
Upgrading
No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM, however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here.

Installing / First Install of 1.2+ Guide:
1) Flash RecoveryMod.zip (credit to Klothius), you won't be able to install other custom ROMs than mine (unless they use the same MTD config as I do) until you revert the RecoveryMod!
2) Reboot into recovery again, format system, data & cache in the partitions menu
3) Flash the ROM
( 4) If you get a force-close after booting, flash the fix below.)
Updating the ROM guide:
1) Just flash the ROM
( 2) If you get a force-close after booting, flash the fix below.)
Why is the RecoveryMod necessary?
The ROM is using a modified Kernel commandline to change the partitioning, to be exact, it changes the sizes so you get more space on /data.
A custom recovery is needed, because a normal recovery would flash to wrong sectors in the NAND, so the flashed boot.img, which contains initialization scripts, wouldn't be able to recognize and read the system files.
Revert Recovery Guide:
1) Download ROM Manager from the Android Market
2) Flash the recovery via the first option in the app
3) Put another ROM on your SDcard
4) Reboot into recovery MANUALLY
5) Format all partitions except the SDCARD in the partitions menu
6) Flash the other ROM

maxisma, thank you for including United States English. I'm tired of sense roms giving me a british accent in google nav and british news sources in google news+weather widget.
However, adding a canadian locale would be even better sir!

JIT
JIT patch not available in the link?
nice rom, running terrific!
only (super low priority) suggestion I have is that maybe you could consider making the lockscreen semi-transparent rather than 100% transparent? it's really confusing to anyone other than me. coworked picked it up and tried tapping things and thought it was broken, I told them to drag it down. voila, but it's a little misleading.
it's really not important though - and definitely a matter of taste.

Hi Maxisma,
Just wanted to say that this rom is really great.
Super smooth and friggin' fast ( even without OC )...
Only thing not working for me is the JIT patch but since JIT doesn't work on any 2.1 rom for me that's not an issue
*yeay flippin' flipclock is back
A question about the ROM, when you specify "- Battery percentage indicator" does that mean CyanogenMOD-like indicator or a widget or so?
About this ROM
This ROM is all about battery, performance and stability. GioPro, SimpliGio, and Sgg dt have many tweaks which are not working due to syntax errors. While some others may work but are not optimized for our Gio. Don't get me wrong. They are great roms! But I hope I can correct what I feel they did wrong.

Please, no default ROM manager. There are users who brick their phones using ROM manager, apparently without doing stupid things. Please see here: http://s5660.pl/temat-martwy-gio
forum is in polish, but google translate will do a good job
And if I'm allowed, please let me tell what I would like to see on a "generic" custom rom:
- rooted;
- root explorer integrated;
- deodexed;
- phone should not be unlock by menu (power) button + left touch button (as with gio versions);
- safe tweaks to memory;
- a2sd installed but not activated (I don't like logs full of errors from a2sd);
- GUI: icons from GIOpro_v3, CRT animation, unlock buttons from simplygio (the round blue-red ones, with a sharp corner) - or a separate theme (maybe editable by userd) that can be applied;
- default: launcher (can be changed by user, no big deal), music player, no app that can be installed simply from market or internet.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and (the most important!) your work with us!
Screenshot Please.
I also would like to not to have unlock by menu option.
Screenshots coming!
Do you guys mind I replaced the default messaging mms.apk with Go SMS Pro? Since there happens to be a bug in mms.apk on every Gio that makes the keyboard appear relatively slower.
v1.4 will feature Touchwiz launcher again, removed CWM

Go SMS Pro is free on the market, and removing mms.apk is easy with root explorer, isn't? I don't think you should bother replacing the default one.
In place, I propose to do something like Slax:simple updates that can be applied over the ROM, to add (or change) functionality.
so, for example, there should be one update to replace the default messaging application with Go SMS Pro.
is-it reasonable? it should help you to release a clean bug-free ROM, and users will not flash the whole system over and over again. IMHO this will be great.

-then don't include root explorer (but prepare all the background for it to work properly)
-uot kitchen is online for the moment... who will know how it will be a week from now... but yes, it's a good idea to have a few themes as zip file to be updated on the phone.

Root Explorer suckes in my opinion...
Try looking for Advanced Tools (free)
It has a built in task manager which is able to see everything. Not just running programs, even the acore etc...
The file explorer is far superior to those I have seen. You also have like 4 tabs.
A build.prop editor is also in it.
If you guys want I will release a quick fix with just the Mms.apk and touchwiz30launcher.apk back in action. But I am actually working on ext2 conversion and support for /cache /data and /system for our phone... So far it works, I have Quadrant score of 1600

Advanced Tools is looking good, but I did not test-it enough (yet).
1600 on Quadrant is quite a good score, it just tell us that you are on the right way!
I understand that at this moment moving/extending some folders on the sdcard is the hardest part. What happens with the system when card is connected as storage on the PC? Only fat32 partition is unmounted? More...I'm almost sure that the speed of sdcard is inferior to the speed of internal storage, so moving everything on the card will slow-down the phone. Installing conventional linux on sdcard/usbstick is not recommended: usual read-write cycles of the OS wear the sdcard/usbstick very fast.
So, imho, only the storage folder of android OS should be moved.
I still vote for a minimum modified ROM, that will allow any other modification with only "updates" and simple file replace/edit on the OS.
and another thought: "free RAM is useless RAM",
in other words: internal memory of the phone should not be as empty as possibly... (it's like you have a fast car in the garage but you use a slow and hungry cart to drive)
GT-S5660M ?
Will this work on the Samsung GT-S5660M
This is apparently slightly different version that is sold in Canada by Bell and Virgin Mobile. This thread explains more about the differences
If I5660XXKQB works for your phone then this one will work as well.
My personal opinion is every model has its own firmware. For the best experience of your phone and the least bugs, you should use your own phone's firmware for your safety.
But I remember I5800 and I5801 being fully compatible with eachother. But this wasnt the case for I5000 and I5000L for example. Honestly I don't know it is you having that phone !
This is a ICS 4.0.3 AOSP Galaxy Nexus Rom completely built from source. The kernel is also built from source and it packaged in with the ROM. I try to keep everything as close to pure AOSP that I can. I added a few features that I wanted and prefer. This ROM is made for Speed and Stability. There are plenty of mods out there that you can add if you want, I rather have a solid base.
ModAGnex V-1-1 Features
AOSP Optimized lean kernel V-1
superuser & busybox built from source (working on adding bash for version v2)
Reboot options with Screenshot
HTC Soft Keys Mod with 1% battery mod
Wifi Tether unlocked (removed SPG.apk)
VZW Boot Animation
Sure I am forgetting more.....
ModAGnex V2-0 Change Log
Completely optimized
Lowered the animation times (less lag)
Disable error checking
Changed the Max framerate of the system to 240 fps
Remove software (CPU) rendering and use full PowerVR SGX 540 (GPU) rendering
New Optimized Kernel (credit to JT1134 for his help and repo)
Removed some code that was causing error's
Removed HTC Soft Keys Mod with 1% battery mod (Download from this thread http://rootzwiki.com...ery-mod-by-wjd/)
ModAGnex V3.0 Change Log
Added added 1% battery mod (icons kanged from Kejar)
Updated tuna kernel to 3.0.16 (By JT1134)
Lock screen has phone,text,camera,and lock options. (quad lockscreen mod)
Removed a lot of files that did not need to be there, saved space.
Restructured my vendor and the way the rom compiles (probably only noticeable to me and size)
Fixed some minor System Ui bugs that caused some lagging.
Tweaked auto brightness values.
And who knows whatever else I forgot......

I know, I sent the mod a message and he just moved it to CDMA! Thanks!
This ROM sounds cool but is getting no attention so I wanted to give it a nice friendly bump!
Looks good sir, gotta like a healthy stock from no doubt!
Thank you!

For those who have tried this ROM how are things running so far. Its nice to have a more clean ROM, that yes I can add some tweaks to but speed and stability is my real goal.
Can we use SetCPU, are there any paticular mods that do not work with this ROM? I was looking to add a battery meter, and the added buttons for search and menu soft keys and maybe the blue soft keys option.
Beyond those three I would be pretty stock. I just wanted to check first.

That is normal, check the gapps for most other roms and the size of them should be close. ROMs with gapps included will have a size around 190mb or so...

how do you get the search icon to show up in the menu? I cant for the life of me find it...
Flashed the rom a few days ago and I like it so far but I have a question. I flashed some soft keys that I guess took away the search button but now the three remaining buttons seem too close and not uniform is there a way I can change it or somehow move them?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That could be a thing with soft keys you flashed, ask the dev what space alignment he used.. there is roms out there that will change that, not this one tho. Hope that helped!

A new version is now out, and it contains some major improvements in terms of performances and speed. It has Las_Venturas 1.0RC3+ kernel packed (thanks @jordfaz), the new camera fix (thanks @stritfajt), the scripts are now up and running (thanks @riemer for the tip), fixed app2sd and cache2cache script, Habarug's modded Phone.apk (disabled the red hang up button), a new Evervolv Toolbox + a superb boot animation (probably the best boot animation I've saw from 2009 till now). It also includes a nice script called 13cpuspeed from where you can set your own values and governor. You can see the values changed in evervolv toolbox under performance tab.
Right now when you flash the zip, the cpu speed is OC'd at: 264-652 smartass V2. I suggest you increase the min value to 352mhz. I've done this to avoid flashing a 'safe' kernel on top of the rom for those heroes that cannot support higher cpu speeds and also it's a safe way to change your values from within the script, no need for 3rd party app.
Why it is improved? Because in v2 and lower, the scripts were lying in init.d but they did not activate on boot thus making them basically useless.
But there is one more script left in init.d that it's not working. This is the *****! '02ramconfig'. This basically sets the internal task killer to higher values giving our hero a little boost in speed. I have tried many ways to force it to start. IT seems that when the boot animation is on, the values are set according to the script, after that, the values turn to normal.
We will investigate this further as we move our focus towards 4.0.5 when the sources are out. But at the time being I will show you other ways to activate the script, so don't delete it:
Keep in mind that you need to do it on every boot. Just choose a way that suits you best and do it every time you reboot your phone.
1. install AMM - auto memory management - from the market, and set it at mild or agressive.
2. If you have android sdk installed on your computer, just make this:
enter cmd and navigate to your android-sdk\platform-tools
Connect your device (make sure you have usb debugging enabled from settings).
Type adb shell and now you should type this command:
Code:
echo 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
after this, to see if the values are set, you can try this:
Code:
cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
and if it looks like this; 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000 you are ready to go.
3. If you have 'Root Explorer.apk' you can press on any of the script from init.d (minfree, cpuspeed) and select run as Linux Script Handler -> Execute.
And the values should fire up. Note: for cpu speeds, do this after you've changed your cpu settings using a text viewer (explorer works also).
I suggest you all guys flash this latest version because includes almost all major fixes and the call drop should be fixed in this. Also, you can install apex launcher for a better performance, you will never regret it. You can enable some cool features that LV Kernel comes packed with (zRam or Kernel samepage merging briefly known as ksm). I suggest play with ksm and see how it goes.
Another nice tweak you can make to increase performance is to limit the processes to only "4" from settings-developer options-background process limit. You can play with this value as well but I suggest leaving it at 4 if you want to be enabled.

Known Bugs:
- SetupWizard reloads and turns a black screen for a couple of seconds at start up.
- screen turns black for a couple of seconds when using the gyroscope.
Keep in mind that this is in the early stage of development so not everything will be completely stable or working perfectly.
You flash this ROM at your own risk! Be sure to make a nand backup and do a full wipe before flashing.

Video preview of the ROM: (Thanks to gkillerx)

* Recommended Flashing Instructions * *YOU CAN USE CWM OR AMON_RA***
1 - full wipe: data + cache + dalvik cache
2 - flash lights format all
3 - flash the ROM zip
4 - flash the kernel from above if youre phone does not support cpu settings of 652Mhz
5 - reboot: the first boot will take awhile
6 - ensure everything is loaded and settled by letting the screen timeout and waiting a minute or so before waking it up and proceeding
7 - go through the google setup wizard and then wait another couple mintes to allow the rest of the ROM to load up and any google data to sync
8 - reboot and allow things to load up again
9 - everything should now be ready to go
* Tips *
Enable "Force GPU Rendering" in "Settings - Developer Options" (it helps flinger to be more smooth).
Disable "Report usage and errors" in "Apex Settings - Advanced settings".
Use setcpu.apk or similar overclock app
Use autokiller.apk or similar taskkiller app
In settings->developer options: make sure window & transition animations are off
In settings->language & input->android keyboard: turn off popup/vibrate on keypress
Can open a running apps list by long-pressing the home button & swipe(or long-press) to clear (useful if an app won't open or system slows down to clear out some memory)
Disabling an app is very easy in ICS: either through the manage app screen or by dragging a particular app from the drawer to the "app info" section displayed at the top of the screen, you'll find a button to disable that app
Performance-wise it could be worthwhile to play around with the "background process limit" and "don't keep activities" options in settings->developer options
The ICS launcher makes it simple to create & use folders: just drag one icon on top of another, let go, and they will now be in a folder together which you can name whatever you like.
Apex settings - drawer settings - Disable Show Widgets tab (it helps on app drawer faster open/close).

looking forward to flashing this. cant flash as of now because need a stable phone but hopefully i'll be able to test sometime next week
i really hope its possible to get a stable ics rom on the hero *fingers crossed*
Nandroiding now Will test for a few hours before I go out
Edit: Slow download or is it just my comp?
@samm000: thank you for your work, can't wait to flash this rom, gotta see the camera working
@Habarug : yeah sloow download speed, it will take 1 hour to download the rom but I am patient
Edit: I flashed it after a full wipe, but not even after waiting 30 minutes it never passed beyond the splash screen (HERO screen), so it was in a bootloop.. gonna try to download the rom again when i get home from work.
Okay, I finally got it working here. Keyboard and pulldown and such is really smooth! but lots of apps, like search, browser, email, voice search etc is FCing all the time :/ Even Launcher is, so I can't use it ....
Edit: trying to reflash
Edit2: ....this is so awesome
Edit3: I'll try this today There are some resize issues, like the statusbar widgets being really high, I can try to fix it when I have time

I use my ROM for A several days now and I can say that the rom is very fast
there is no need to install other launchers.
if you like you can allways install other launchers.
Thank you so much for this ROM!
After having it installed and used it only briefly I must say it works pretty smooth. It's not slow at all! Feels great that our old HTC is still in the game!
I can confirm that its fast and stable

Is this rom ported from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352170 this?
In aplha 1.0 yes, I had a lot of problems making it work right because the port didnt work well.
