 to modify your phone. This rom has been marked BETA by the developer,
 however should anything happen to your phone neither of the developers
 "MagiMan7 and/or Tp4bama" nor MIUI.us nor MIUI.com developers are liable

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Apps dont automatically load, use the Miui Backup app to backup /restore apps
• If you have having launcher force closes, switch back to the stock theme to verify the theme is not causing the issue.
• MMS Videos playback as slide show,. (Chinese devs know about this!! There is a problem across all builds with attaching vids to mms) If you NEED video mms, DON'T USE THIS ROM. If you don't NEED video mms than DON'T COMPLAIN
• Facebook will sync ALL contacts
• Instead of *228 call *228+ (hold 0 for + sign)
• Hear camera initialize once after every full boot
• Autobrightness is slow to change (see fix below)
• Miui Camera may have weird zoom behavior (see fix below)

4. Flash this rom
5. If apps do not show up after initial flash, rebooting should make them reappear

CRON OPTIONS
The set of cron tasks is editable in the /data/cron/root file. The root file lists all of the commands scheduled to run and the scheduled time. The file can be edited to add tasks or change the preset ones of flushing caches. All tasks in this file will be run as root (superuser privileges)

MIUI CAMERA ZOOM FIX
From MIUI Camera, goto Settings and uncheck AutoFocus. The camera will still auto focus when you take the picture, but it will not continueally focus as so you point your camera. The autofocus seems to take priority and can cause the calls to zoom to get missed.

AUTOBRIGHTNESS FIX
The screen may take 10-30 sec to change brightness level when moved from bright to dark environment. This can be sped up to around 5 sec by disabling the Light Sensor Filter. To do this go to Settings -> Display Settings -> Advanced Mode (Under Automatic brightness) -> Turn off Light Sensor Filter at the top.

LOCKAPP / UNLOCKAPP INFO
Run lockapp script in terminal or from gscript. Both scripts are located in /system/xbin. Both scripts take a single argument, the process name. For example the Miui Music player has the process name com.miui.player. You can find process names for most installed apps under /data/app (just drop the -1.apk from the name listing).

To lock an app in memory you run lockapp PROCESS. For example, to lock the Miui Music player into memory, run 'lockapp com.miui.player' As a warning, Do not lock more than 1 app in memory. To lock an app in memory, the app has to be running. If the process is not running, the script will inform you.

Once an app is locked into memory, the only way to remove it from memory is to kill the process. The unlockapp does extactly that. It is run with the same arguement, unlockapp PROCESS. If you wanted to unlock the Miui Music player from memory, run 'unlockapp com.miui.player' This will kill the app you are unlocking from memory. If you want it to run the background unlocked, you will have to re-run the app.

Flashing now. Thanks.

I was wondering if there is a way to move all system apps to sd card, to free up some ram?

[metalspring]

A text link for those on mobile app? Wow, you really pay attention to detail...I'm downloading now...btw I didn't see anything about changing the browser to the modified stock browser so if its there great, if not then what's the best way to go about switching them if its even possible without using a computer?
