COMMON ISSUES

1. Facebook app will sync ALL contacts
2. Instead of *228 call *228+ (hold 0 for + sign)
3. If you have having launcher force closes, switch back to the stock theme to verify the theme is not causing the issue.
4. If apps do not show up after initial flash, rebooting should make them reappear
5. If you use Google to back up your contacts, restoring contacts with Miui Backup could result in duplicate entries
6. Using Titanium Backup to backup and restore apps/data has reportedly caused FCs with certain apps
7. [DO NOT TRY TO RESTORE SYSTEM DATA FROM ANY ROM INCLUDING MIUI BELOW 1.4.8!!!!!!! or you will get force closes...]
8. If you cannot move apps to sdcard, uninstall app and reinstall from market

Themes available HERE

Themers: Excellent guide on creating MIUI themes HERE

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). The default cron tasks has a command commented out to cause the phone to do a soft reboot everyday at 2:45 am. This may help keep phone feeling snappy each morning. Remove '#' to have this run everyday

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.

A2SD+ INFO
Once you have your sdcard formated for a2sd (Create a 2nd partition of type ext3 using Rom Manger or favorite patition manager), you can run command a2sd from terminal to setup a2sd+. Running 'a2sd help' will give a list of options available. Running 'a2sd install' will move all apps from /data to sdcard. Running 'a2sd datasd' will copy apps as well as their settings / configurations (/data/data) to sdcard.

SWAP OPTIONS
There is an included script called swap located in /system/bin you can run from terminal, adb shell, or gscript. The script takes a single arguement defining what type of swap setup you want. Options are file, compcache, both, none. The script will immediately initiate the swap system chosen as well as update boot up and cron files to keep the selection permenent. So whatever you select will persist after a reboot. To run the command, just enter 'swap OPTION'. So if you want to switch from no swap (default on new instal) to swap file, type 'swap file' and everything is adjusted for you. The swap option will be kept after updateing assuming data is not wiped. If data is wiped, it will default back to none.

Flashed over 1.9.2 with no problems so far. Everything is smooth and rom is snappy with default kernel.

Fyi in case anyone is having issues with root apps. The superuser app has to be set to allow requests for root access on all apps needing root. Open superuser app and go to its settings and toggle su requests to allow

Mag, I wanted to try some other kernels, but don't want to break wifi (with all the problems I've had with it) any chance of getting the default kernel placed in a separate update zip rather than having to reflash the whole rom again to get back to the original kernel?

Thanks for another great build

If anyone is using RZR, report if you had any issues flashing this release.

I can make a zip for that if you need it.

Only issue I seem to have is that every time I try to download apps from the market I get insufficient space error. This is with wiping and fresh install.

Mag, a kernel zip would be great. I appreciate it

Mj, wipe dalvik cache and then try again and it should fix it.

There is an issue with MIUI keeping all of the cache files on /data partition which will fill it up and not leave space for more apps to install. I have setup the rom to move those caches to /cache partition like is done in CM7. However, not all of them can be moved on the first boot, so try just rebooting the phone. That will move some of those caches to /cache which may free up some space on /data. From terminal emulator or adb shell, you can run 'df' which will show you the free space on all of the partitions.
