Droid 2 Miui install/bug/questions&answers thread.

[UrbanBounca]

Is Miui really as good as what everybody makes it out to be? I've heard good things about Miui and kind of wanna check it out.

CM7, Livin' the dream...

It's not really that it's better than any other current D2 ROM, it's just different. Very. Different.

Is there a way to change the lockscreen app? I don't use the default messaging app (use GV instead), and would like for it to default to GV.

Install this apk ... then it will ask you once if you want to use native app or gv.

That's awesome. Kudos to you. I'll try MIUI again when they fix the camera.

I've been looking for a fix as well. I'm also on vacation and would love to keep this as my main rom lol....

Here's my list of stuff I've found to either not work correctly, not work at all, does nothing, and suggestions to add...

List of issues:

- Camera/Video camera
- Editing a theme (like swapping out boot animation while on a theme)
- Homescreen does not tilt to landscape
- Hi-Res enabler doesn't seem to do anything (didn't notice any change)
- Alt-Lock still not working
- Boot animation is cut off slightly at the top and bottom

*to be continued after exploring some more

Suggestions:

- Theme Manager needs to have separate customizations
*Complete themes
*Boot animations
*Lockscreen
*and more...

(This basically needs to be cleaned up since I only see complete themes and have to do separate stuff to change something out of a them like boot animation even though that does not work at the moment)

This is a first rom for d2 so i expect bugs. I have the luxury of having another phone as my primary so I can deal with it. I honestly would not recommend this as a daily driver yet because its a first build . Its still a nice rom and has a lot of potential. But a good bug report should help the dev get an idea where the rom is at and areas where it could improve.

Hey pc747, long time no talk. Where can we follow up on the development, updates, and improvements being made? I can't seem to find the source where all this is coming from. Someone said on RootzWiki but I didn't find anything there.

^^ Miui.us

Is the developer site

The miui forums app also comes on the rom.

You mentioned we can't use the Bootstrap app. What do we use to get into Recovery (not the stock Recovery)?

I used ROM Manager Premium (Clockwork Mod's app) to get into Recovery. Seemed to work. Did a test with trying to flash bootanimation.zip off of the root of the SD Card and it frozed so I had to do a battery pull. Not sure what's up with that since for some reason we can't swap out custom boot animations through Theme Manager.

It's in the power menu. Hold power button, select reboot, then select recovery.

same here.. i put it on my memory card to try but i think no camera is a deal breaker

Just got my replacement phone and I'm ready to flash this rom, but if the camera isn't working, then I'll have to pass until it does (replacement was due to a blurry camera).

So is the camera issue universal, or are only a few having the camera issue?

I swear on my life my Email application disappeared. I had it and Gmail thrown in a folder I named Mail. After getting my email set up, the Email app had disappeared from the folder. I can still get to it using recent apps... but no way other than that. Weird

It's universal.

Then I'll do what pc747 suggested and sort of wait for future builds of the ROM so they can iron out some of the issues. Looks like a sweet ROM that's worth checking out so hopefully those fixes get fixed soon.

That is stock recovery, not CW recovery. What we want is a working CW recovery.
