MIUI.us-Sholes-1.8.19.0
Development Build


This build is MOSTLY STABLE BUT IN DEVELOPMENT

This build was ported to the droid by MagiMan7 and TP4Bama, translations to english were done by MIUI.us

All of the MIUI.us build are now available on Rom Manager under MIUI.us which will allow automatic notification of future builds


Follow us on twitter for real time updates!
@magiman7 / @tp4bama

If this is your first time trying MIUI, read the MIUI Manual (credit The Batman) to become familiar with the interface and many of the hidden options.



Code:
#include <std-disclaimer>

/*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 
 in anyway.*/

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.
  • Facebook will sync ALL contacts
  • Instead of *228 call *228+ (hold 0 for + sign)

INSTALLATION (wiping data)

  1. Backup apps with MIUI backup if you are on a previous GB release (1.4.8 or later)
  2. NANDROID BACKUP!
  3. Wipe Data/factory reset
  4. Flash this rom
  5. If apps do not show up after initial flash, rebooting should make them reappear
  6. Restore apps/data with Miui backup
  7. If you use Google to back up your contacts, restoring contacts with Miui Backup could result in duplicate entries
  8. Using Titanium Backup to backup and restore apps/data has reportedly caused FCs with certain apps
  9. [DO NOT TRY TO RESTORE SYSTEM DATA FROM ANY ROM INCLUDING MIUI BELOW 1.4.8!!!!!!! or you will get force closes...] You have been warned.

Info on the MIUI Stats included in MIUI.us builds 1.7.15 and later

Have Rom Manager automatically download zip on your phone (suggest downloading on wifi)
You must enable Web Connect in Rom Manager on your phone to enable this option then follow link Here

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+

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. After 1.8.26, using ota to update will not over write your settings for swap

I can receive video mms but can't send them. Anyone else having this issue. It sends the audio but not video. Also I can't playback any video I record on low quality.

Nice, looks like some changes have been made, I'll have to check later...Chevy just put out SS5.5 today and I'm still playing with it lol
However I like the idea of a swap file right on the phone, but I have to wonder if its good for the phone or not...isn't a swap file supposed to hurt sdcard life? So would it possibly damage the phone if swap file is on it?
And if I install a compcache capable kernel can I still run compcache and swap?

I purposely don't have a donate button. I don't have anything against those that do mind you, but I have chosen not too. The main reason I don't is because there tends to be a perspective change from some that donate. When some people donate, they feel they "paid" for something and are therefore entitled to support or feature requests or compensation if something goes wrong. Most people that donate don't fall into this category, but the few that do make life way to hard on those that donate their time. I never wanted to deal with that issue, so I choose to not have a donate button.

Thanks for the reply. May just be my Droid. I keep getting this video can't be played message even when I go to stock SMS and attach video but I can receive video no problem. Not a big deal. Everything else is running great on rom and I've gotten used to not having that feature with miui. Thanks again for the reply and the port.

On the issue of swap, that is a good question, I have made a long post about it HEREThe swap file will not affect anything w/ the sdcard (mounting, unmounting, etc) because it is not on the sdcard

Well...installed yesterday. Quick impressions are boot is quicker, browser seems more responsive (was having some lag issues with last build), and mail is less buggy. I put MIUI back on my work phone three builds ago and am very happy with stability. Thanks again to all the devs and there constant improvements to the platform.

My stock browser still fc when trying to import bookmarks. Wifi still drops and reconnects, but it reconnects a lot quicker this build.

Can you tell me where the bookmark data is stored for the stock browser?

Mag, could the gtalk services be causing the wifi drops/reconnect?

08-20 23:17:13.498 D/GTalkService( 1189): ##### Network broadcast (connected=true) type=mobile, state=DISCONNECTED
08-20 23:17:13.514 D/Tethering( 1059): MasterInitialState.processMessage what=3
08-20 23:17:13.514 D/GTalkService( 1189): [GTalkConnection.1] ### networkStateChanged: active and curr network type/state are the same(1/CONNECTED), ignore
08-20 23:17:13.514 D/GTalkService( 1189): ##### Network broadcast (connected=true) type=WIFI, state=CONNECTED

If you need the complete log I will upload

Chewy, not sure. What is it with your phone and all the weird bugs? ;) AFAIK, you are the only one reporting dropped wifi signal. You could try removing gtalk (/system/app/Talk.apk) and seeing if that helps. Do you have tethering app installed? If so, you could try removing that and seeing if that is causing the issue.BTW, how is the sms pic issue on this build? Still black and white?
