/*Anything you do to your phone is solely your responsibilty, you choose
 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 on fresh install, 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!! This a MIUI problem and cannot be fixed by those here) If you NEED video mms, DON'T USE THIS ROM.
• Facebook will sync ALL contacts
• Instead of *228 call *228+ (hold 0 for + sign)
• Autobrightness is slow to change (see fix below)
• Replaced Miui Camera with the stock CM7 app because Miui Camera will not flash when taking picture
• Adding new folders copies contents of previous folder (see fix below)

ADDING FOLDERS FIX
When you add the first folder, copy all of the icons you want in the folder. When you add a 2nd folder, it will look like it has copied the contents of the first folder. Do not try to change anything in either folder, just reboot the phone. After a reboot the new folder will be empty and you should be able to add any future folders without this error reappearing.

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.

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)

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.

 

BTW, have you tried other keyboards from the market? Gingerbread keyboard maybe?
