[Q] MIUI Rom wont use certain applications?

Hey guys, I have posted this in another forum but didnt get much luck.. wanted to try it here before I gave up and hung myself.
Very briefly: I have just flashed my fourth rom, this time I went for MIUI. Fantastic, really good speed, very aesthetically pleasing, etc.
Anyway, I have tried to run some GBA emulators and they havent worked. They flash the black screen for about 5 seconds, and the game plays in the background but it minimises the program; it says it is still running in the notification area but when I try to access it it just minimizes again.
Is this a common problem on MIUI? Has anyone else had a similar issue? Im sure its MIUI related as I have had the program running on several different ROMS..
Please dont make me choose between this awesome rom and being able to play Mother 3!!
Thanks guys;
Vincent.
Edit:
Turns out it is a gingerbread incompatibility. Can be fixed by installing a compatible emulator *facepalm*

Virtuous Quattro RC2 - Capacitive Buttons

Since I'm still too n00b to post in the Dev Forum I'll post this here.
I just installed this awesome ROM and it all woks pretty fine... except for the bugs everybody has already mentioned in some topic or another.
About the bug regarding the capacitive buttons (the little Home/Menu/Back/Search) non correctly lighting up I found out a peculiar thing not mentioned by anyone else (afaik).
Maybe it could be useful, maybe not.
Anyway... in my phone (DHD ex-Cyanogenmod7, s-off, wiped) they are consistently turned off except when I open an ebook with Aldiko.
It always happens, and they stay ON untill I leave the ebook's pages.
It happens with both pdfs and epubs.
It only happens with Aldiko ... both Kindle and MoonReader failed to show the same glitch.
Just wanted to let people know u_u

its look like kernel problem try diffrent rom on ur phone.

Maybe I will ... this ROM is still too raw (performance-wise) for me right now.
Browser navigation is quite slow and the overall phone is not very snappy (compared to CM7).
But my post was intended as a little help for the Dev Team ... maybe noticing this Aldiko glitch may help them understand where to put theor hands on the kernel.
Or maybe not XD

Umm use a different reader .if the lights stay on maybe a kernel issue just flash lords kernel from the dev section .failing that man use a devs Cyranogen infused rom

Forgot to ask what rom r u running

I used to run CM7.
With that rom the buttons were always ON, as they were meant to.
I usually use the Kindle app and it did nothing strange.
Then I installed (and am currently using) Virtuous Quattro RC2.
With this the buttons are always OFF, which is a bug.
Searching the forums I found out that this is a more or less common bug, and there is no fix for it right now.
But then I read an article about how awesome this Aldiko app is, and decided to try it along with MoonReader and a few others.
Doing this I accidentally discovered that Aldiko somehow "fixes" the button's bug.
Searching the forums it appears no-one else reported this thing to the Virtuous devs.
So I thought: if Aldiko "does something" that fixes the bug, maybe telling the Devs may help them look in the right place and find a solution or a workaround.
That is all

Also running that rom...after trying several. This seems to be the least buggy of all of...I have tried several. The 1beta4 (LC) was the quickest/smoothest. but I had numerous small but annoying issues and loaded Quattro on 1/23. I have an Inspire. I also loaded the Quattro wifi fix and had to load Lordmod for the sound to work..appears to be an issue with Inspire and ICS. Anyway, long story longer...I am also an Aldiko fan/user and don't have any issues with the buttons at all...maybe the difference in phone...or the 2 additional zips made it a non issue?

I'm now running RC3.
Wifi problem is solved.
Capacitive button problem is solved.
General lagginess appears to be solved.
Battery life seems better too.
Strange enough, there is no way to remove the 3g toggle from the task bar
Good job team Virtuous! :-D

I have been running RC3 on my HTC Incredible S for the past few weeks and I never had any problem with the capacitive buttons until recently they stopped glowing and as you mentioned earlier they start working when I open Aldiko app. I read that the problem got solved for the RC3 then why am I having these issues?

JellyBean Input lag/delay

I have noticed weird issue in every JB build for HD2: Interface appears to lag behind your finger a bit.
Easiest way to test is on notification bar. Here is a quick video I have made comparing ICS and JB (both running at same HD2, flashed one after another):
(Please ignore jerkiness of the interface - this is caused by recording software).
Notice how ICS's notification drawer is literally glued to your finger, but in JB notification drawer lags behind your finger. It may seem like a minor issue, but ICS one opens faster and it generally feels more fluid.
Video was recorded on CM9 and CM10 builds of NexusHD2, but as I said it happens with every JB rom.
Is that intended behavior of JB? Is there a way to fix that? Does anyone else also experience similar problems?

No.
Maybe.
Yes, everyone.
Test this ROM and tell me if the problem still persists.

I can't really say without multiple HD2s side by side. But I think problem is still there, but not as significant as in Jelly Bean (it could be just placebo though).

JB hss always been slightly laggy for me, I only use jb over ics because I like google now

Fluidity of the interface ?

Hello, can you tell me if there's a way to make the interface of the stock rom more fluid ? I found it kinda sluggish compare to my old phone.
I haven't root the phone yet, but I saw that some xposed does work... what is the problem with that phone ? I mean even just going from one menu to another seems sluggish =T (and I set the animation to 0.5x)

Force GPU rendering or Disable HW overlays have any effect? From the same place as animation scale settings.

Thanks, It does help a bit but it's like it's in 20 fps or something, I'm coming from another phone with cm12.1 and it was far more fluid. Maybe there's a way to change that with L Speed or Gravity Box ? I haven't tested that yet...

If there is AAL in EngineeringMode ( under hardware ), try turning that off...
L_speed might help if it's a RAM management issue I guess.

Question Refresh rate bug with Dolphin

Hello everyone!
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to talk about this here but I don't know where else to do it :/
I have a refresh rate bug on the Dolphin emulator. If there is a framerate drop and the game comes back to normal framerate, Dolphin displays me the right number of fps but visually, it's very jerky.
To solve this problem, just put the app in multitasking and return it to full screen (switching the screen to 120hz solves the problem).
I can reproduce the problem, so it's not just isolated in places, but I can't reproduce it with other apps (and I didn't have this problem on my Pixel 7).
Nothing OS problem?
Thanks a lot!

Sounds like it

Possible solve it with custom rom ?

That is a really specific problem. You need to Test or ready trough Log Files If you have the knowledge

No I don't have that knowledge unfortunately :/
I tried to reproduce it on other large applications (Aethersx2 for example) but nothing
I will try to switch to PyxisOS, there are a few things that bother me on NOS

Ok, I can confirm that this is indeed a NothingOS problem, I switched to PyxisOS and no more problems (and much better performance by the way, it's weird xD)
