Hi to all,
I created this thread here is for existing users, potential users, interested users and experienced users or any casual visitors who wants to know more about the rom. Well, SGS users will ask why create a thread just for this, when there is another one over at the development section. The answers are listed as follows:
To reduce the number of posts in the other thread (reduce spamming) thereby not bogging down the developers with issues that can be solved by the users. And they can spend their time to concentrate what they do best, which is improving the MIUI Rom.
To consolidate questions, problems, bug reports, comments in one place. As you can see from the other thread, many a times, some of the posts which benefits the users were consumed by newer posts. While there is a SEARCH function, I can understand it can sometimes be a challenging task just to sieve through the searched posts results. I know we can't eliminate users posting repeated issues, but at least this will attempt to reduce those posts.
To allow new xda members who are on MIUI but unable to post their ideas, comments, etc. This is also an important avenue to allow new xda members to have a voice. While they may be new, they might have tips, tricks and also can help to resolve issues. Issues brought up can be shared by everyone too.
To allow the developers concentrate on improving the MIUI rom. Who doesn't want a better MIUI? Of course the developers doors will always be open, and will help out whenever they can, but wouldn't it be better for us to let them concentrate on what they do best, and what we want best?
So, to make it successful, I need you guys to help one another out, like what I have seen over the other thread.
This thread belongs to all of you, and I am sure that there is active participations in here.
MIUI has a pretty long history. However, for our device, MIUI has just evolved. Likewise, the user base has just started to grow. There will be times when even the most experienced user or developer will get stumped too, and not able to come up with a solution to resolve. We can see from the other thread that there are diverse views regarding battery life, sdcard issue, etc etc. We will not know since the usage pattern of each individual is as good as your fingerprint. No one is alike. Therefore we seek your understanding that issues not solved immediately will be looked into seriously by the team. There will always be limitations for every rom, regardless what base they come from.
All we ask is whether this rom fits your usage or not. And the only way for you is to try it out. Feel it, experience it, and judge for yourself if this rom fits you, can you live with the shortcomings of the rom. If you decide that this rom doesn't fit your daily needs, you can just simply flash to another rom that fit your needs better. And you can at least tell yourself that I have tried but it is not suitable.
Is this thread some form of advertising? Well, again different interpretations for different people. We will not go into that as we believe the QUALITY OF THE ROM WILL SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
One thing that can be said though, credits goes to the cm7 team, the official MIUI developers too. And each day, we can see breakthroughs. I do foresee a bright future for this rom here.
FAQ Section
[Written by Galnet, g00ndu and me]
Before asking for help, please read through post 1 to post 4. Most of the issues have been addressed in this 4 posts. By doing so, you are helping to keep this thread clean.
1. APP RELATED:
1.1 Apps crashing all the time!
Simply enter recovery mode and do a Format on Data, System, Cache
1.2.1 Apps restored from backup not working
I would always flash from clean and redownload all your apps from market. I know you can backup and restore, but to me this causes alot of issues which people bring up all the time. If you want a clean install and avoid any issues in the long run, then 15 - 20 minutes of redownloading isn't as bad as hours of issues!
Also, if you want to try to restores apps using Titanium Backup, restore "APP ONLY," restoring data causes problems.
1.2.2 3rd party apps force closing
Turn off compatibility mode. Settings > Programs Tab > Manage Applications > All Tab > Select app > Turn off OR IF IT STILL FORCE CLOSES Settings > Programs Tab > Manage Applications > All Tab *again* > Select app > Clear Data > Uninstall and then reinstall using Market.
1.3 Apps not installing
Clear market cache and try again.
1.4 Can't See Paid Apps in Market
Download SGS-Tools and select Market Fix and apply then reboot.
1.5 Downloading from Market Not working
Goto Downloads Press Menu Key and switch Settings to WiFi or Mobile network.
1.6 Searching not working
Simply enter search advanced settings and turn off searching within SMS (Mentioned on Original Post)
2. HARDWARE RELATED:
2.1 SD-CARD Not working or other issues with Camera or Sensors
When flashing if you don't see the Cyanogen Logo after the Samsung one when turning the phone on to enter recovery (After flashing cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar) , then STOP flashing process as you have done something wrong or are trying to install coming from a JVK rom. Downgrade to Froyo or if need be JM1 and start the process over.
Also, camera is not working properly (known bug) – poor saturation and multiple lines running through image.
2.2 External SD card not detected
If your external sd card is not detected even when the kernel had corrected the issue, you most likely has the 2.3.3 bootloaders. You may flash the bootloader (definitely not recommended) or you can restart using EZBase rom or follow galnet's guide in his site.
2.3 Auto rotation/accelerometer not working
If your auto rotation/acceleromter is not working (despite having it enabled in Settings > Common Tab > Display Settings > Auto-rotate screen) then hard reboot (completely switch off device, wait 10+ seconds, and then switch device back on)
2.4 High Battery Drain
Known CM7 bug that is not fixed yet.
2.5 Battery only reports ~96% on full charge
This is a function implemented on ALL 2.2.1+ ROMS (including MIUI, which is based off CM7 2.3.3) so that the battery of the devices do not overcharge. Samsung ROMS falsely report 100% charge, but in actual fact, it also charges to ~96% and that if you watch closely, after a few minutes, the battery will rapidly drop back down to ~96% and stablise.
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
2.5 Battery has stopped charging
Battery is known to stop charging when it gets too hot. This is to protect the battery and phone from exploding.
2.6 Phone turns on when I insert charger
This is a known bug (or function LOLS) which is present in the Nexus S ROMS and because the SGS MIUI ROM is a derived from the MIUI Nexus S ROM, SGS will also have this bug/function.
3. ETC:
3.1 Where do I start?
Have a look at Galnet's MIUI Guide and note that you can start from ANY Froyo ROM (Stock and Custom) as long as your device has a Froyo Bootloader.
3.2 Flashing from JVK to MIUI
You must first downgrade the firmware to Froyo (which MUST include a Froyo Bootloader - check in zip via WinRar for boot.bin and sbl.bin) It has been found that the Gingerbread bootloader has caused major problems. It is recommended that you downgrade to Eclair JM1 then upgrade to JS5 (files are avaliable on Galnet's Website) and then follow Galnet's MIUI guide to flash MIUI.
Note that flashing/using any Gingerbread modems such as JVK will not cause problems, it is only the Gingerbread bootloader that is causing problems.
3.3 IMEI SCREWED!
Flash back to JS5 or another Official Rom and it will be restored!
3.4 FLASH AT OWN RISK
If you don't have a clue what you are doing or ODIN is a strange word, then please go over to Galnet's MIUI guide and read it before flashing, make sure you understand the risks and note that the developers are not always available to answer your questions instantly!
3.5 Applying a downloaded theme:
Move theme file anywhere onto your phone's memory (should have a .mtz file extension) > Open Theme Manager > Press on Capacitive Menu Button > Import Theme > Locate and Select the theme you added onto your phone's memory
Alternatively, you can directly move the theme (.mtz) file to sdcard/MIUI/theme/
3.6 (SOME) Themes not changing lockscreen
Check that the theme supports MIUI Gingerbread 1.4.8, older MIUI FROYO themes will not work.

TIPS AND TRICKS
1. Download seems to get stuck forever. Download only works with wifi.
To fix, open up the Download App, click menu, select toggle 3g /wif. This normally will work. If it doesn't work, try for 2 or 3 times. Remember to cancel the download from the app. If it still doesn't work, reboot and try again. The best fix will be to boot into recovery, and do a wipe / factory reset and reboot. Before downloading, go to the download app to activate the 3g / wifi toggle.
2. Speaker phone is too loud (Thanks to Ekin)
Goto DSPManager > Phone Speaker > Enable equalizer
Then drag all the zeros on the graph down to about -3.0 but keep them all roughly the same. This will lower the volume on the loudspeaker for everything, fixing your problem. When you want to watch a movie and want to make it louder, go back here and just swipe it to disable. So its only one swipe to get it on/off. In order to keep the settings, you need to hit the Back button for it to register correctly.
Raising it/enabling bass boost seems to kill the quality a little bit, so I recommend not to do those.
I have a Nokia headset that I use, and its a little quite so I do the same trick (except I raise the "headset" equalizer) and this nifty trick is basically the same as the voodoo sound hack which takes proper use of the high-quality sound card inside the Hummingbird.
3. Choppy / Laggy graphics and interface (Thanks to whitesox311)
In the settings under battery options....it has " power saving mode" on automatically....if you disable this it gets rid of all the issues. Also, if you leave "Hi-res graphics" turned off in the launcher settings it vastly improves smoothness.
4a. How to get Swype to work (Thanks to Prototype159)
Download the swype installer.
Follow the directions all the way til the end.
Hit the finish button. Reboot.
If it didn't work, clear data and uninstall swype and the swype installer. Try again.
If you change the kernel, you will have to redo it again.
4b. How to get Swype to work (Thanks to agha123)
Follow the instructions to the tee on this web page ,

Hmm...good timing. I have some questions on my own.
I have been reading the installation procedures for a while. This particular line intrigues me
6: Pull out the USB cable and start (in download mode) with 3-button-combo in recovery mode (waiting until samsung logo appears)
How do I start recovery mode within download mode? I don't want to take any risks but wish to understand fully on what I will be doing before I commit.
Another question: Assuming that later I decided MIUI is too buggy, is there a backtrack procedure? Usually I will just reflash with ODIN to a stock rom(eg: JPY) to rid of all the lagfixes etc then to maybe Doc's rom for example.
Since this is a ASOP sort of ROM in GB. how do I go about it?
Noob questions I know but I rather be noob now then to beg for help around later
i dont have the maps application in my rom. After installation i dont see any maps app.

It means exactly that. In download mode hold the 3 buttons (vol up, power & home) and release all keys when the Samsung logo appears. After about 5 seconds you will see recovery mode.
You can easily backtrack. In Odin use a fw that has all three files and tick repartition. I use jpu.

This is new! I didn't know we can do that!
Shall give it a try this Friday Thanks for the explanation
Another question:
I understand also that ASOP roms don't have the very good codec support. Fair enough. Some threads I seen has mentioned of Moboplayer. I gave it a try. Works well enough in hardware acceleration mode but software decoding mode looks really slow.
Now my question is: Does software decoding mode works better in ASOP roms than say a generic lagfixed rom?

wow, this one i dont really know. i am not sure if there were bemchmarks being made on that or not.
not a good comparison, but still say this. i ran quadrant for this two roms, and the framerate for samsung is better in 3D, and not much different on 2D.
dont forget samsung did not release the sourcecode, and cyanogenmod do it from scratch. but nevertheless it is still good in aosp.

Likewise.
No problem. I will know it after I try this Friday. I can share it then, provided nothing goes wrong.
Quite a fair bit of adventurous users tend to dive in straight without checking the cons of a ASOP rom, only to regret and then flash back. I don't really want to fall in this category.
Multimedia is big for me as I watch alot of animes. This codec problem might give me abit of a headache with the software decoding and probably missing code support.
I think I asked enough. Shall camp here and explore other users' problems.
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.

I've PM'ed you, I advise you do a 3 file install of JP2 via ODIN to make sure all your files on the phone aren't corrupted.
Once you have got Froyo installed then please get back to us. (Boot into Froyo and make sure it's all working correctly)

Pass mate, but if you have a felling this could be the case then format the internal sd, after installing Froyo and then copy the required MIUI files back across to your internal sd and then try to proceed in flashing MIUI again.

ok now i'm on JP2 everything works fine.
ok so heres the rundown. i have my hd2 and have in the past put a different rom on, so it is not stock(just for a reference point). Now i want android, I have multiple verions n builds which were using paranoid android and cm9 for ice cream sandwhich. Every build i throw on there i always boot thru the sd card thru the clrcad.exe. Every build i try the wifi is never able to find any sources, it just keeps turning on n off.
That is my problem and didnt know how to go about it. Just for Reference 1. I have looked thru all the developer threads and did see others had problems and they got no solutions. 2. i just joined so i cannot post in the developer threads to ask them for help. 3. i did search the forums for similar problems but nothing related to the same problem they were using different build or os. If i missed somthing please tell me.
I thought maybe since i dont have a stock rom on the hd2 it might be interfering with ics. The wifi works fine while using windows. A second thogut was maybe i should just install the magldr which from what i read would wipe the internal mem, but once the first time putting that on there i could was done i could boot thru that instaed of using clrcab.exe.

i would just hit te thanks! button but it said i didnt have permission so Thanks! i will try thatright now
ok so i applied the apk and installed with superuser permission without a problem. i then reset the phone, but it didnt work. So i made sure that under advavance configuration it said US, tghen proceeded to input the *#94349# and it said that wifix was enabled, but still the same problem it just turns on n off all the while giving me the unending message of "turning on wifi..."
but now here is the things i have tried since yesterday i have made to installer hardspl 2.08 and radio 20.15.50.14 and then magldr. With little trouble i was able to get android to run stright from bootup now instaed of going thru windows. Everything runs great except for wifi, i technicly not sure if data works as to i dont have it on yet, soon tho.... soon...
Any ideas would be much thanks. BTW im trying PARANOIDANDROID HD2 [v1.5b][TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][tytung HWA R3] from the thread [26-Aug-12][sd/mag] paranoid jellybean hd2 Beta v1.992.
You said you tried the same apn under windows and it worked. Now you're on ICS and it doesn't work.
I had this problem a while ago when I went on a vacation, it just used to say "truning wifi on", but nothing shows up. It's a regional wifi problem. OK, try this: flash a rom without a simcard inserted, and check if the wifi is working. IF, it works, then WiFix SHOULD fix your issue, otherwise report back.
(Btw, there is another way to fix the regional wifi by replacing the wireless modules, but I can't find the link, sorry )

I tried the wifix and according tothe phone the country code is US right now and currently im trying different kernals from the thread. Once i burn thru those with no success which hopefully ill find a good one i will try your method Thank you for your assistance.

Oh, you're using an sdrom, sorry I forgot that !
No, it doesn't have to be to the internal, just a fresh install (whether nand or sd, and in your case it's SD)
And you totally misread my answer, I didn't mean Kernels and I didn't mean remove the sim while still on the same rom x)
Maybe it's my fault for writing such an answer, let me paraphrase my answer for you:
1- Remove your current build from the SD card (better if you backup your whole sd to pc and format it)
2- Remove simcard. (BEFORE INSTALLING)
3- Put totally fresh and new rom on sd.
4- Boot up ROM and test wifi.
5- Report back Read the edit
Edit:
OK, first of all, I'm sorry for not reading the whole thread. I just read it again, and will answer your questions.
You wanted to try android so you went for Icecream (which has the regional Wifi issue)
As long as the radio is correct, the stock ROM should not interfere with android.
No, if it is (truly) the regional issue, installing android through MAGLDR will not solve your issue. it will persist.
And btw, instead of doing all the steps, just try a GingerBread ROM, if wifi works there then it is the regional issue.

ok so i took sim card, formated the sd card, put fresh build on and started it. Loaded in and still same exact problem. ok so will try gingerbread.
ok so put gingerbread on phone and loaded it up and gave it a reboot just because. Loaded up, turned on wifi hit settings for it, it just said scanning. Backed out installed wifix, and dialed *#93439# it engaged and still nothing changed. Now on both this and ics i input my ssid and wep key for my home router just to try and help out but just said not in range. If i dont put that in, ice just says turning wifi on... then off then on etc..., on gigerbread it says scanning. So im stuck on what to do the only thing i havent tried far as i know (which is very little) is to flash to the interal mem.
On gingerbread you don't need the WiFix.. uninstall it.
if it says scanning, that means it's working.
HELP Recovery doesn't load (is installed) & when it boots up a S.Screen-Loop appairs
Hey
Wow, having a hard time now without my new galaxy s4.
Can't get access the recovery mode anymore and when it boots up, a screen of death appairs in a very strange way.
It seems that a script, can't load properly, because I deactivated something, that's why it allways resets itself after it's finished to display the loading samsung screen again. I can go into the system for 1-5 seconds only, then the loading screen appairs again - all the time.
I allready installed everything and it worked fine, with wanamlite rom and phil'z cwm.
But I did some security finetuning, removing (mostly freezing, but then uninstalling) lots of the bloat and spying system apps... thats why it happened. I know what I was doing, but not exactly (new apk's, new JB). Trial and Error. Allready got the results I wanted, but it wasn't finished and I messed up something.
This is fkn crazy about Android 4, coming from 2.3 - the new smartphones send ALL YOUR PRIVATE DATA EVERYWHERE (google,samsung and LOT's of other companies) in stock and even in all the roms, by default. Even Snapshots and Voice-Recordings in backround. Just go to the Options/Security/Certificated Authorities... or check the triggers with autostarts or just use a taskmanager.... 99,99% of the people aren't even aware of this.
However, I before I go crazy about all this I want to say, that I want to use the phone and all the priviledges and functions of course, but without all the spy****, that is also reducing my batterie like hell. It's not about, that the accu isn't strong enough, but it is used all the time by many different things
Ok now, what can I do ? I have a working cwm backup, but I can't access the recovery anymore!
I have access to the download mode.
I allready tried a different rom (this one) flashed with odin, after it finishes, it loads to recoveryAUTOmode, but after that, the same problem persists.
this one=this version:
Model: GT-I9505 (4.2.2)
PDA: XXUBMH1
PHONE: XXUBMH1
CSC: OXXBMH1 (29 codes) (NOTE: KIES will NOT recognize this FW due to CSC mismatch..)
Kernel: 3.4.0-1081224 (05.08)
Build Date: 05.08.2013
Changelist: 1081224
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
because I wanted to use the same version as wanamlite and I don't want 4.3 yet, because of app-compatibility and some more... it's just getting worse, (android 4.4 is reallly ****ed up with wlan-on all the time..rumors..)
My Question to the developers here is exactly does Recovery need to work properly ?? (systemfiles,apk's,scripts)
Why the Samsung-Screen-Bootloop appairs and what script triggers it ?
Tried with ADB-GUI - but it doesn't seem to connect - but testing is needed, didn't try everything yet
this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237530
You know, I don't have nothing to hide, but I want to have my privacy and freedom anyway - I just want to have a clean, secure Phone as possible and I disable and uninstall everything I don't need and will never use all the bloat ****, also I don't want to send ALL my data to google, samsung and all the other companys and CA's.
If I where a developer I would probably bring out a great,clean and secure rom for everyone, however that isn't wanted by google and the big companys and the nwo agenda.
However, it seem's that allmost no one (developers and users) cares about security and privacy at all.
You can only be secure, if you root your phone and modify alot of settings, triggers and remove lot's of apps (apk's) and use several apps to do so. It normally cost's you hours to get everything in place and more hours to figure out all this stuff... but a very advanced good script, could do all the modifications in seconds. Whatever, that **** is to big for me now, I will get over it... will you get over it ? I would like to join this big elite group, if I could, because they have everything (allmost. Also I don't want to sell my soul... what a dillema
Now seriously please - I really need some help by a pro
Hope you can help me.
I think there is a good solution, it lies in downloadmode and flashing the right thing or using adb the right way.
Ok that's it. thanks for reading.
I wish you a good day and all the best.

It seems that a script, can't load properly, because I deactivated something, that's why it allways resets itself after it's finished to display the loading samsung screen again. I can go into the system for 1-5 seconds only, then the loading screen appairs again - all the time.
I allready installed everything and it worked fine, with wanamlite rom and phil'z cwm.
But I did some security finetuning, removing (mostly freezing, but then uninstalling) lots of the bloat and spying system apps... thats why it happened. I know what I was doing, but not exactly (new apk's, new JB). Trial and Error. Allready got the results I wanted, but it wasn't finished and I messed up something.
This is fkn crazy about Android 4, coming from 2.3 - the new smartphones send ALL YOUR PRIVATE DATA EVERYWHERE (google,samsung and LOT's of other companies) in stock and even in all the roms, by default. Even Snapshots and Voice-Recordings in backround. Just go to the Options/Security/Certificated Authorities... or check the triggers with autostarts or just use a taskmanager.... 99,99% of the people aren't even aware of this.
However, I before I go crazy about all this I want to say, that I want to use the phone and all the priviledges and functions of course, but without all the spy****, that is also reducing my batterie like hell. It's not about, that the accu isn't strong enough, but it is used all the time by many different things
Ok now, what can I do ? I have a working cwm backup, but I can't access the recovery anymore!
I have access to the download mode.
I allready tried a different rom (this one) flashed with odin, after it finishes, it loads to recoveryAUTOmode, but after that, the same problem persists.
this one=this version:
because I wanted to use the same version as wanamlite and I don't want 4.3 yet, because of app-compatibility and some more... it's just getting worse, (android 4.4 is reallly ****ed up with wlan-on all the time..rumors..)
My Question to the developers here is exactly does Recovery need to work properly ?? (systemfiles,apk's,scripts)
Why the Samsung-Screen-Bootloop appairs and what script triggers it ?
Tried with ADB-GUI - but it doesn't seem to connect - but testing is needed, didn't try everything yet
this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237530
You know, I don't have nothing to hide, but I want to have my privacy and freedom anyway - I just want to have a clean, secure Phone as possible and I disable and uninstall everything I don't need and will never use all the bloat ****, also I don't want to send ALL my data to google, samsung and all the other companys and CA's.
If I where a developer I would probably bring out a great,clean and secure rom for everyone, however that isn't wanted by google and the big companys and the nwo agenda.
However, it seem's that allmost no one (developers and users) cares about security and privacy at all.
You can only be secure, if you root your phone and modify alot of settings, triggers and remove lot's of apps (apk's) and use several apps to do so. It normally cost's you hours to get everything in place and more hours to figure out all this stuff... but a very advanced good script, could do all the modifications in seconds. Whatever, that **** is to big for me now, I will get over it... will you get over it ? I would like to join this big elite group, if I could, because they have everything (allmost. Also I don't want to sell my soul... what a dillema
Now seriously please - I really need some help by a pro
Hope you can help me.
I think there is a good solution, it lies in downloadmode and flashing the right thing or using adb the right way.
Ok that's it. thanks for reading.
I wish you a good day and all the best.

Did you just smash your keyboard typing all this? I hope not.. because its quite irritating to see someone oosting such things on a updating guide. You can pm me if u want help. But since u asked here.
Here you go.
Download adonis.pit from my second post
Flash it in odin as pit.
Flash a stock 4.2.2 firmware package
Install whatever recovery you want.
And you are done.
You can go back to recovery.

that sounds really useful. I will try it now. big thanks! However I have a 9505... is the pit really needed? I have a backup of it, when i flashed the recovery the first time... with heimdall.
ps: I smashed it a little bit... with such things in mind, you can go crazy about... or just ignore your private life and give it to google, samsung & more
I would really like to see the bigdata databases from millions of people profiled in a neat profile... with everything in it. Just use a search tool like everything and find instantly a person with the attributes you seek. Clever Controlfreaks
Ok f*ck that.. lets get a life and just fix the problem
Still the same thing...
I need to clean everything, except my data, like photos and my cwm backup. and to install a clean system.
How can I do this with only download modus avaiable?
Hey guys,
I searched the web already but I can't find a solution. My S5 won't turn bluetooth on anymore. It's rooted but after rootprocess, BT worked fine. I can't remember that I've done something around BT. I've deleted Data and Cache already and rebooted the phone afterwards but still no Bluetooth. I opened Quick Connect and a Toast appeared which said "Bluetooth activated" but there wasn't the logo in the status bar and the icon in the notification center was also grey. Hope that you can help me.

Any solutions?
Hey mate..
Any solution yet..?
Mine wont turn on still.

Reinstall ROM
Maybe the cause of the problem is that you downloaded an invalid root and it did something to the bluetooth. I highly recommend reflashing a stock rom. See if anything changes. Thank you :victory:

Yes.. Mine worked for a while as well and then it dsnt now....
I have the stock rom.

For the gentleman with the stock rom - you can try rebooting into service mode (holding home+volume up and then pressing power) and wipe your cache there - and then try to switch on bluetooth. If that does not work - warranty claim.
As for the rooted phone - you cannot be sure how stable the implementation of bluetooth drivers etc on that rom is. It could have worked at first and later - due to any number of reasons - could stop. I'd really suggest flashing a stock rom and checking - that way you'll be sure the hardware is ok. If not ok - warranty claim.

First, thanks for the tip, sadly it didn't work.
Second, I'm already on Stock Samsung Rom, it's only rooted, I didn't even flashed a custom recovery.

Hold on, I remember that I've done something around BusyBox with the app from Steven Stericson. Could Busybox brake my bluetooth?

Yes, it could although that wouldn't be a normal result. But yes, it's possible. Depends on what you did with the Busybox configuration.

Just installed the 1.22.1 version of Busybox with the pro app that's all. Maybe it killed some symlinks.
Well if you practice safe mods.. you'll have made a backup before installing Busybox. So temporarily restore your backup and see if the issue resolves?
If you don't make backups, then you have a lot more work as you have to look for a pattern and /or guess at the cause.
.
I usually always make Nandroid Backups but in this case not. I'm afraid that Busybox will kill my S5 if I deinstall it. What if I flash a Stock Custom rom via CWM? Of course with a full wipe
I doubt Busybox is the cause, but I cannot rule it out. Only because it was a recent change does it move up the suspect list.
Still way too many variables in my mind. I'd probably start by installing a 100% stock firmware temporarily, just for troubleshooting. Confirm that bluetooth works i.e. not a stock issue or hardware failure. Then install your core apps one by one.. see if you can narrow down the conflict fairly rapidly.
But that is hardly the only way to go about it. As you like.. you have to start somewhere and either cull a lot of possibilities or wait for a pattern to emerge. Search the forum too, just in case it's some issue affecting a larger number of people - which might offer more clues.
Good luck.

Good news!
Before I flashed a new firmware with Odin I decided to flash a Custom Rom. Flashed new bootloader + modem and performed a "Wipe for new Rom" in Philz CWM, flashed the rom, set up my apps and settings and, BT works again. Thanks for your help

Great to hear that so it was just a bit of software acting up - good to know
Please do change the title of your thread to solved
Hello everybody I got brand new Motorola Defy+ and I want to have newest version of android on it. I am not familiar with rooting etc and unsure if this is possible theres instruction in videos description on youtube "How to Install Android Nougat on Motorola DEFY+ (Android 7.1.1/CM14.1)" ( I can not post links) If not I am curious what is the safest and easiest way to root the device and if theres available newer system than KitKat for my device
Moreover I wanted to install roehsoft ram expander as the phone got only 512 MB of RAM but test says it has to have compatible kernel from what I remember. Not sure if I have to install new operating system in the first place and then root the phone or the opposite and what kernel it has to have to work properly. As I said before I am not experienced android user its my first device with this system
Thank you in advance ppl peace!
Amazing, Motorola Defy+ is cool in its segment but can this slim hardware keep up with such a bulky Android version?
It's said in KittyKat threads here phone has a tendency to stutter with KK (as such a demanding OS), and how about Nougat?
Anyway it'd be nice if somebody adjust Nougat to work worth Defy+. Especially it is needed to optimize battery consumption in idle.
And about rooting, you can just run apk called FramaRoot and job is done
Afterwards run SndInitDefy_2.3 and you will have custom recovery installed (CWM), it is just as simple as it!
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5965fe184202f/Framaroot-1.9.3.apk
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5965fe43f2a32/SndInitDefy_2.3.apk
Afterwards, make a nandroid backup and, using already installed custom recovery CWM (which is clumsy, without touch support), you may want to flash TWRP. If so then flash defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip, e.g. from this link:
http://d-h.st/users/tejus.k.v
Although attention: this flashes recovery TWRP to the system partition (probably the phone's recovery partition is to small) overwriting the android system which is already there, so after doing this you must flash some ROM.
It is described in the second post of this KittyKat ROM thread: [ROM] [4.4.2] SlimKat (jordan) [STABLE 4.0] [Weekly 3.85] [Unofficial]
And see Installation Instructions section, good luck! ?

Thank you for your help! My phone dont want to turn on anymore. I've done everything carefully up to the following point"Wipe /data, /cache, and /system in TWRP or use defy_safewipe.zip" (after that I wanted to flash this: "Slim-mb526-4.4.2.build.4-UNOFFICIAL-20140407-2344.zip" cos its ROM right?), but and when it asked me to slide back to the right blue arrow to confirm, my phone booted up and then died after motorola logo. Green led lighted up before death. It seems that it wasnt safe thing despite the name. What to do now? Can I recovery it?
--
UPDATE: ok its working again :angel:, Ive tried combo "up volume" and "power" buton.
Now Ive got no idea what "Gapps" or "Slimroms addons you want" are, but after mad long startup (with SlimKAT logo on the screen), it seems that this system is working. Its much faster than befo I can see. It's RUNNING! :laugh:
--
UPDATE 2: Play Store refuses to open on this new system after I installed it. "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped."
I have just flashed this ROM:
[Kitkat][Nightlies] CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+), it is the most advanced so far as I can see, the freshest release is cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x so half a year old.
If you read instructions on this thread you can see it's installation is somewhat tricky.
It includes rearranging partitions layout and sizes.
If you really want experimenting with flashing Nougat you will probably need the technique to change partitions sizes, and you may edit the values inside the resize.zip according to individual needs (post #5595)
And the half of the links from the first post are empty, however in the middle of the thread there are still working links.
After all it's better to follow this version of installing instructions (post #5584)
Also you can find some files here: http://defy.svolkov.name/quarx2k.ru/
I have done partitions resizing, bootstrap, and managed to flash the first ROM, version: cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip,
however wrongly have done cache & Dalvik reset just after resizing (and before ROM flashing): the result is ROM is working well but cannot boot into recovery anyway (and can't recreate recovery anyway either, even doing:
Code:
cat /sdcard/bootstrap_ext3.img > /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
as suggested in the post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57221743&postcount=6510)
And I'd like have the freshest version, the only way is to flash stock and do everything from a start again. Please if you can, how to flash stock? It is said elsewhere the most critical in it is choosing the right version of sbf file, choosing inappropriate would brick a phone irreversibly! And how to know which one to choose, tutorials here are so convoluted and discussions so chaotic! Afraid of touching anything though!
As far as the ROM itself, although it is the first only cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip it works amazingly well!
It boots quickly, is fast, RAM friendly, nice!
(It has little overclocked processor and this makes using the phone so comfortably, just little overclocked so hardware friendly too!)

Again I want to thank you for your response. On the verion of system Ive installed I cant use my camera for video recording because of lack of some codecs it says and I cant watch YouTube. 'Google Services' crashes. The only way I could download some decent apps was from 'Aptoide'. 'Roehsoft Ram Expander' needed Google services so it wont open (ive download 'Kernel audiutor' however I dont have class 10 card yet so I dont know if its good at all). I wont be fighting with this anymore, I am going to try mentioned 'CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+)'.
So I have to go "Recovery" in this secret startup menu before I install it? I mean do I have downgrade my system before instalation of new one? Or just follow the instructions straight from the beggining I dunno. But I dont want any complicated things you know..
--
The links are dead, but Ive found them files:
defy.7z
Now, you metrioned two rom's but which one is less tricky, cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip or cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip?
You know, I have installed cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip at last, after exciting night of attempting flashing any stock ROM and then following the procedure exactly from the first post of "[Kitkat][Nightlies] CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+)"
and the updated files: new_bootstrap and resize, found here
It costed many efforts of blindly "trial and error" flashing one by one stock ROMs, until found the one which turned on my phone with anything else than black screen!
And everything it was to have possibility of flashing cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip instead of already running cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip.
And you know what? The version cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip seemed running better than the freshest one!
It was, what is most important: faster!!!
And anything else seems the same (so far)!!!
Is the any rationale behind hustle and bustle of flashing the "NIGHTLY" and exactly for what?
Question of stability which user gets know only after some time?
Anyway the speed is everything in such thin hardware like Defy+ and i can't resist an impression cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip is way faster!
And what's more, you probably can flash cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip without the whole convoluted procedure of resizing partitions! (needs checking, if you want simplest way you had better resize partitions )
In fact this version of ROM is the same as:
Quarx said:
8. Install cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip (It's latest cm11 from 23sep with changes for new table)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip was to try if the only resizing procedure itself worked at all (and for users to send feedback).
In fact resizing partitions is needed only for the next ROM versions (of which the freshest is cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip):
"the nightlies AFTER 01 Oct are for the new partition table".
(Aha, cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip probably is odexed, while cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip is deodexed, it needs confirmation)
And if you needed flashing stock and had doubts how, then write, I'd gladly help and share the knowledge painstakingly acquired this night.
It is amazingly simple and safe, there're few simple basic things but if you needed found them by yourself in this forum you would probably get panicked
It is about how simple things people can mess up! ?

Thank you my friend. Ive installed cm11.0-defy-newlife.zip. Its fine because my camera can now record videos but still it cant play it. :crying:
YouTube videos also wont load, however internet is fast and so on.

Google Play still dont work, same error. I kinda came to terms with it as I have Aptoide, but I want to use YouTube..
And what do you use to watch YouTube videos? Advise third party apps, e.g. SnapTube etc, instead of YouTube application. In fact forgot installing gapps at all and it makes me happy You only now made me think about it In such thin hardware it is better to have microG (μG) (for apps refusing running without Google Services) and/or Yalp Store for Play Market access
If you insist using bulky Google then try opengapps.org

Ive read on some native forum that after codecs instalation he problem disappeared I try to find some
I have just recorded a video of my dog, sent it via email (AquaMail), received it in a mail to myself and played it with system player, pretty well!
It is possible freshest NIGHTLY ROM has issues solved, how to check it (without Google)?
And can you play videos self recorded with this phone?
OpenGapps.org provides you ability to choose what package, how complex (I always choose "pico"), and for what platform (yes, KittyKat is still supported) you download.

Yes, you can change for e.g.
"Installing the best ROM nowadays for Defy (+)"
And it is said Defy and Defy+ is the same hardware, just plus is rebranded and has overclocked processor (to 1GHz) and bit bigger battery, see section "Facts" in [GUIDE] All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide
or "Yielding Defy competitive nowadays"
It is still phone unique on the market, searched something for summer, a little waterresistant phone which could suit to any even tiniest pocket. And found Defy is just the only one in this kind, nowadays producers offer big smartphones and if you want something little & watertight then you can buy modern smartwatch - thanx, prefer Defy: bigger battery, faster, and of incomparable comfort of usage, for peanuts!

Ive just followed the steps here did exactly what is written step by step from the beggining.
I think now the only is playing videos. Videos I have recorded (on the phone) can be played back only in vlc but still with lags. Same for vids online, however if I choose mobile version of YouTube and try to play stream in vlc it worx but very poor quality. I tried many things without any success, for eg. Flash Fox but the problem is rather in system files than settings and apps itself.
In my custom system I could playback any video.

It's irrelevant for video playing but I think it is better to follow the first post from the thread and use the files:
new_bootstrap & resize (instead of PrepareZip_1 & PrepareZip_2),
new_bootstrap has different size than PrepareZip_1 and is newer, something has been changed.

You see, I play with phone system player any videos recorded with phone system camera application without any problem.
Is the newest NIGHTLY ROM better in the sense the issues have been ultimately repaired?
If so, make android backup of data partition, reboot into TWRP, wipe cache, Dalvik, data (factory reset), and flash the newest NIGHTLY!
(Yet if you enjoy playing with comparing the two system you may wait )
And maybe before flashing next ROM do these newer new_bootstrap.zip & resize.zip flashing (just in case: of avoiding extra issues).

If so, make nandroid backup of data partition, reboot into TWRP, wipe cache, Dalvik, data (factory reset), and only then (but immediately without rebooting after wiping) do these newer new_bootstrap.zip & resize.zip flashing!
The files you can find here
After flashing NIGHTLY successfully, boot it, follow the initial wizard etc, check if it works ok, and if so reboot into TWRP again to restore your data nandroid backup.
If you don't care about previous data give in with it and configure your Android anew

Dont get me wrong, I meant my system version android which came to me with my phone purchase (android 2.3.6 or something dont remember). And its definitely not prob with camera but system video player, plus YouTube dont play too so definitely some playback issue..
Omg omg E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcaed/kitkat 4.4/cm-11-20161124-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip' 'FAILED' what todo? Reboot and try again?
Maybe file was corrupted
