(TL;DR note - 3rd paragraph has the findings)
hello all, ive never posted before on this forum before (been a member since i bought my LG Optimus GT540 though), and since im under the 10 post limit i cannot post this in the relevant thread (i.e. the development thread).
ive been using both mssmision and xavierjohn22's versions of MIUI since it became the official miui.us version (for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224147). the launcher FC bug really became annoying, to the point that i went back to CM7 because of that bug, and the fact that the updates stopped. i flashed the newest version yesterday in the hopes that it may be fixed, but to my dismay it still does it.
so i decided to fiddle around a bit, and made a discovery. if anything is placed in the 5th row, and you install/uninstall a program, the launcher will FC, if nothing is in any of those rows, then it will not FC. now, im not exactly an expert in this topic at all, but could it have something to do with MIUI's launcher not being able to handle the fact that its not 4x4 as it was intended?
either way, i hope that this is seen by the relevant people and may have been some help. i would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in getting MIUI to the galaxy tab, and all the developers for the galaxy tab for their wonderful work. thank you all!

that is true, its not a question. although it is kinda development related. considering its a bug in a rom currently being developed.
even so, sorry for posting in the wrong section, and thank you for moving it.

If you had modified the MIUILauncher.apk to stop crashing when something is placed in the 5th row, that would be considered development.
You have just given a tip, whilst still highly appreciated, its not development.

sorry for any misunderstanding on my behalf, i never intended to cause any problems, just offer my tip which may help make xavierjohn22's MIUI build become stabler. i have personally wanted an android device with MIUI ever since i first saw it in action on youtube. as i said in my first post, if it wasn't for the 10 post limit (which i am sure is there for all the right reasons) then i would have posted a reply in the original thread in the development section where i hoped it would be seen by xavierjohn22. above all, truly sorry about causing any problems.
on another note, 212 views on this thread and no other replies? has anyone else who is running this ROM had a chance to try this out and see if it helps them? or has anyone disproved it? any feedback would be appreciated, or if anyone could post it in the original thread and point it out to xavierjohn22 that would be appreciated to.
thank you anyway!

No need to apologise, mistakes do happen
Have you tried PM'ing xavierjohn22 with this?
no i havent, i just assumed his pm's would be turned off as most developers seem to get hit with heaps of pm's every day and eventually turn them off. that is a great suggestion, i will give it a shot, thank you!
edit: just sent a pm to xavierjohn22 with details, thank you for your help andyharney!

Hello All, I am considering purchasing a MyTouch 3G but need full Exchange Support. Which ROM out there is my best choice? It needs to be stable for day to day use with Bluetooth and WiFi working. Any recommendations would be greatly appriciated. Otherwise, I may end up going with the Touch Pro 2. Thanks.
I use this one, it's superb

Full exchange and wifi, used heavily daily.

Hello All, I am considering if you even tryed to use the search there should plenty of info about this around.
Further more i wonder if you even tryed to read the sticky topic "Please dont start a new thread if something like this happens"
Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?
A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.
There ya go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555499
Edit: reported for being a noob creating an profile and posting his first question in the wrong category without even reading the rules or trying to make a search on the subject!
Wrong forum section dude, try general instead. Thread has been reported.
MOD EDIT
Moved to general forum. In future please try and post in correct forum.
HINT - For example in your case, ask yourself is your query about themes, software, games, android development etc. No its not, so post in general.
First, sorry about posting in the wrong thread. I thought a question about rom's would go in the rom's forum, guess I was wrong.
Second, I have spent time, a LOT of time, searching the forums regarding which rom to use. I was hoping to get feedback from other people that have been using them in regards to my specific requests - Exchange, WiFi and Bluetooth. Honestly, the forums get really confusing with the multiple names the devices have, the cross device porting and such. It is not a simple task to find a ROM with XYZ. Plus the forums do not always state what does work. I was just looking for some feedback before sinking a couple hundred bucks on a phone. Sorry for being a noob.
_Belial, thank you for your recommendation.

Well i guess many people using xda started to get frustrated and annoyed about how hard it can be to find what you seek. But one of the reasons for it is that things started to get messy cause of to many topics concerning the same problems/solutions.
We all been new around here once and we can all make mistakes so no hard feeling. At least we have some good moderators trying to get things in there right places
i think the question about full exchange support is a valid one.
there are many roms out there that support exchange, but they only support email, not calendar and contacts, and the change log doesn't always reflect this.
Before anyone points out that I didn't post this is the main CM thread, I'd rather not keep up with sorting through the dozens of new posts to find out which ones are in response to my question if I don't immediately visit the forums after receiving a notification E-Mail, that is if anyone even notices mine among the already thousands of posts within the same thread. So, with that being said:
I loaded CM7 v2.5 into the NAND of my HD2. Everything ran great for about the first week. Now I am experiencing random reboots on an average of about once a day. At first, I thought ti might be related to overclocking. But even after returning to the default profile and on top of that UNINSTALLING SetCPU, the problem still persists.
It doesn't reboot the entire phone as in starting from the bootloader. It will freeze in the middle of whatever and fall back to the CM7 loading screen.
I see many people having this same problem and also many people with CM7 working just great. Has anyone yet determined the cause of this issue?
With that being said you still posted in the wrong section. This should be in the Q&A section. After blatantly stating your too lazy to follow a possible response to your question, its not that hard to just go to your statistics, then your posts and follow it from there. Its not like it would be pages ahead if your original question. To answer your question, you should upgrade your build.

Hey Matt, here is a suggestion for you:
The next time you feel as if you are going to have diarrhea of the mouth, take it to the toilet instead of spewing it all over someone else. I already stated the obvious, and there is no need to be a complete D-Bag and start something that doesn't need to be started by rubbing it in.
If I posted in the wrong forum, oops oh well no big deal but there are better ways to let someone know. The first mod that sees this would move it anyways It's that simple.
And in response to your statement about being too lazy, I went through this whole route when I was running WM6.5 and the CleanEX ROM. I was told to post any issues in the main ROM thread, and usually I would have to sort through 2 - 3 pages of replies to find anything that was addressed to my question that is, as already stated, if it didn't go unnoticed among the thousands of other posts. This might be the way you and many others do things, but honestly it is an extremely unorganized way of getting a response. Tried it, and didn't care for it.
So with that being said, I kind of find it hard to believe that it is just the build that's causing the phone to act this way, unless it was discovered that this was actually a bug with the build (?). No offense, but people tend to see upgrading to a newer version as a universal fix-all.
You cant just ignore the rules and post anywhere you want, just because you cant be arsed to post and wait in the roms own thread. This forum is for posting developments/dev info etc, NOT for posting question topics.
Go use the Q&A section or post in your roms thread.
User/Thread reported.
Moved this thread to "HD2 Android Q&A and General" section.
Oh yeah. I closed the thread too. There is no reason to deliberately violate the rules and post in your OP that you did exactly that.
I don't really care how much you dislike the idea of posting an issue in the ROM release thread because that's how things are done.
This is the kind of thread that really irks me. You know all you're doing is getting yourself flamed and irritating a moderator....
The next time I see a thread like this from you, I'm not only going to close it but I'm going to delete it and infract you for deliberately breaking the rules.
Consider yourself warned.

GENERAL DISCUSSION:
Just felt I should share this with everyone since I don't think a lot of people know about it yet. I know I never heard of it until the other day.
Trying to get an idea of what others think...
I guess there has been some controversy between Blackdroid (UltimateDroid) and the CyanogenMod team over the likeness of Ultimate Droid to CyanogenMod 7. They are almost identical, however, Ultimate Droid offers far more customization and every bit as snappy. As most of you know, the CM7 Final was released nearly 24 hours ago. I obviously downloaded and flashed it immediately to check it out. Honestly, there just wasn't anything special enough to keep it, I immediately restored my UD backup.
I certainly don't want to get in the middle of any beef between developers, after all these are both phenomenal ROMs.I just know I am always looking to try new ROMs and other methods of tweakness and hope others would speak up...
Obviously, I take no credit for anything here, just sharing info...
Your last thread about this in Dev was closed. While I do agree it belongs here... PLEASE tell me you got permission from the mods to post this again (even though it is in a different section). If you didn't... prepare for lockdown

"UltimateDroid Development is to not be discussed here. Closing thread."
...not sure why "development" of a ROM doesn't belong in the "Development" section...
no I didn't talk to anyone. I'm not doing anything wrong. And if I am, I should at least be notified. I'm just trying to get the information out there because it's a great ROM. I'm not getting anything else out of posting this. As I said, I take no credit whatsoever, just sharing information since nobody else has. If this site isn't about getting information to people then I will quite posting.
you actually are doing something wrong by opening up the same thread a mod just closed.
I'll quote the mod from your previous thread.
UltimateDroid Development is to not be discussed here. Closing thread.
Picked up a desire HD. Decided to get away from the apple ecosystem. So i got rid of my iphone 4 and 3gs. Now i have skyrocket and desire HD. Just saying whats up. i've already rooted both phones and flashed several roms. Looking forward to this community.
Welcome, were mostly friendly round here.
Don't be afraid to ask questions & such, just do a quick search first to be sure you don't come across as a n00b, nobody wants that.

roger that.
Hi
I'm pretty new to this myself - not the phone but to rooting and flashing roms. So far its going great, those devs are really doing a good job, it's really sweet with all this activity going on with ICS. I'm on Virtuous Quattro RC1 myself - a few bugs - but really good
If you're too much into gaming then you might miss your iphone 4 a bit but if you like a variety of softwares and tweaks then android is the way. Your best bet would be to check out the ICS roms laying around...
Welcome btw !

I'm very aware of the reason the development forums require 10 posts to post in, but I can't bring myself to post 10 things on topics that don't interest me (well, 9 with this one). How did you guys deal with this?
Remember you don't need 10 posts to PM the developer of a ROM if you have found a bug. Most users now consider the Development section as the "place" to post anything as it gets a little more traffic. You don't need 10 posts to read or download ROMs.
Unless your actively developing/developed something then there should be no reason to post there.
You should read, search & then ask.
My absolute hate is "Thanks" posts. If I see them I will delete them. They do nothing, but "boost" the post count. If you want to say thanks, hit the "Thanks" button. Or Buy them a beer/coffee/other if they have a donation link. Or send them a PM personally thanking them.
Okay this is the 2489623 time ive posted in xda and so far i have gotten ZERO replies..to everything...am i posting things in the wrong forum? do i need to develop some kind of relationship with existing users? Am i not using the right lingo? SERIOUSLY WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? are my questions to hard for ppl to answer? When creating an android theme i had so many issues and I loved that a website like this existed...little did i know its was completely false hope because i ended up doing random things to eventually find the solution since NOT A SINGLE PERSON could offer any advise here...i like doing things by myself but if someone can point me in the right direction, it helps ALOT..and i thought this website could do that..obviously I WAS WRONG...now for the last 5 days i have been trying to find someone to test what ive spent more than 50 hours and and no one will even reply with an "i can't" or "i dont have a jelly bean device"...
i dont care anymore i give up on this website and finding a tester here and this is just a rant...
funny thing is people will probably reply to this complaining about everything i just said....smh
Where did you posted your theme? Is ir for a specific device? Or is it for Theme Chooser?
If you're having issues and want help from other developers then raise the issues in the Q&A forum. The Development forums are for development releases only, so you won't get any help in here.
