Rom based on Miui 12.3 Release with the latest Miui 0.12.3 english pack #1c.
This is the build that I use for my own daily use. I am not a developer but I have created roms before and thanks to domineus instructions on how to build your own Android rom I have decided to share my own build. This is beta and by no means is complete. I have themed this to what I like based on themes from iNexus and MrDSL (Suave HD). Thank you both.
This rom is using the Hastarin 8.5.1 Kernel (Thanks). All aspects of the rom should work fine including:
WORKING:
-3g/HSDPA
-LED status notification
-Keypad notification
-Bluetooth
-USB mass storage
-G Sensor WORKING
-Facebook sync
-camera
-Wifi
-GPS
-Theme Manager
NOT WORKING:
None for now - BETA2
This ROM is BETA and Custom themed, by applying a different theme you might mess up the current theme applied.
Use this rom at your own risk. I will try to fix any rom issues when possible.
Battery Usage on Standby: 5ma - 10ma

Extract the GIPAQ-MIUI.7z to your SD Card. Keep the folder name since the startup.txt is pointing to that name.
Use the data.img incuded with the rom. NOT recommended using your old image. Restore your data and applications using Titanium Backup or any other backup software you are using.

screen shots - beta 3 - soon

TIPS:
1.) If you have trouble installing Angry Birds game, please Unmount SD Card first and then install.
2.) Angry Birds will NOT restore using Titanium Backup. This is an issue with all current Miui builds.
3.) NO this is NOT a Miui Sense build. What you see on the first screen shot is Miui Fancy Widget Mod created by GU5TAF. Link for download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7U76RSSG
4.) Mobile Data is NOT working? Do the following: Go to Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names, press the settings-button and select "New APN". You will then need to enter the respective data as provided by you mobile operator. APN settings can usually be found on the operators website. After you do these steps mobile data should work.
5.) adfree does not work? Two ways to make it work. a) Download from Market BusyBox installer and install the new BusyBox 1.17.1. Make sure you select /system/xbin/ directory. Reboot and try adfree again, it shoud work fine. b) Download Terminal from Market and type the following in Terminal:
$su
#cd /system/xbin
#busybox ln -n busybox cat
6.) If you have battery consumption problems please make 2-3 reboots till the battery consumption stabilizes. You should be getting 3-7 ma in idle and <1% per hour.
7.) The current release ONLY supports English language. If you change language you may encounter problems, like Chinese in some menus.
8.) If you have Robot voice, do a reboot, it should solve the problem. If not then please check your radio version and WM rom. I am using the latest radio 2.15 and the OMEGA DINIK WM Rom and I have zero issues.
9.) Multiple Android build on your SD card? no problem use Exceller Multiple Build Loader for Android/Ubuntu. You can boot Android from multiple folders without having the name 'Android'. See link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737001
Have Fun!!

I think that is a problem with all current Miui builds. It's not just angry birds but some other apps and games as well.

Is Fixed all known bugs this version?
I wanted to ask that my English is good and I do not get along in search of
All problems were such as: Data, Volume Lower, inability to install birds angry, inability to replace Themes
All these problems have been corrected in this version from?

All should work fine.
Data, Volume should be loud and clear. Angry birds you may have to Unmount SD card to install if you have problems. This is an issue with all the Miui builds. Theme manager should work fine but read the warning about themes on first post.

No this is not a Miui with Sense. what you see is the Miui modified fancy widget created by GU5TAF. I will give a link for that on the first page post #4 in a while.
Data should be stable.

[Q]Modifying Cyanogen: "vendor" overlay or fork?

Hi all,
I've been theming a little but figured it'd be better to compile from source (something to do with custom layout xmls). I'm quite new to ROM compiling so I have a question for the ROM builder here: what is the way to go for modifying/adepting CM?
I can "fork" it and use the structure and build files from the original and just replacing/editing the files in those directories. But a more elegant way would be to add the modifications in a seperate vendor overlay and use that instead (with the DEVICE/PRODUCT_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS). That way I can keep the original files and keep the modifications in a seperate directory. I've been experimenting with that a little, but with no succes so far. So I'm not even sure it can be done.
Thoughts, opinions?

The way I did it on Floyo is the following:
I forked the android_vendor_cyanogen repository, and then add this line to the products/common.mk:
Code:
# Common CM overlay
[B]+#PRODUCT_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS += vendor/cyanogen/overlay/floyo[/B]
PRODUCT_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS += vendor/cyanogen/overlay/common
Then all my floyo specific theming goes under overlay/floyo in the same repository. You can see my initial commit for this here - unfortunately its not just theming stuff there....
To build the CM untouched theme for floyo, I (almost) only comment the above line and rebuild. In my case, I have also changed some default colors in the code itself, under the framework/base package and the CMParts package. To build the CM theme I undo these changes as well and then rebuild.
One final note, if your building just one ROM with one theme, you should not have any problems with this. If your thinking of using this to build the framework-res.apk only, and possibly other files your theming, and then pushing only them to a CM6 based ROM, from my experience you'll run into all kinds of sh**.
The way I make the CM theme today, is I do the above changes (comment the above line and undo my default colors code in the code of the framework and CMParts). Then do a completely clean build (remove the entire out directory first). Finally I do a full recursive diff of the entire ROM against the entire regular floyo ROM and package only those files which changed under system/framework/ and system/app/. Basically, I am releasing 2 different ROMs, just to save bandwidth I only package the diffs.
Hope this helps.

Exactly what I wanted to know.. thanks man!

If you want just to change xmls - i think apktool is more simple way to do this .

True, but I want to do more than that eventually... also compiling is fun and it gives me a better understanding of Android

[Q] how to get rid of TouchWiz ...

so now that I am rooted ... how do I get rid of TW?
I am a bit reluctant to just delete .apk's just to find out I needed THIS special one to boot
So, do you "fine folks, sirs and scholars" here on the board, think we can come up with a - somewhat - comprehensive list of .apk's that can be deleted without any problems?
I was thinking along this line:
- Aurora.apk -------> live wallpapaper "aurora" -------> SAVE (to delete)
- Bluesea.apk -------> live wallpapaper "bluesea" -------> SAVE (to delete)
- Bluetooth.apk -------> bluetooth application -------> NOT SAVE (to delete)
- etc ...
well, those were the more obvious ones ... but how about the others that are not that self explanatory but which can be deleted to have a streamlined and faster 7.7?
many thx in advance for your time and effort,
Al

Here is a spreadsheet for the SGS2. May help you get started with various apps and info, yes i know not 7.7 but a place to start anyway
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
Edit: to answer your initial question. You can remove TW if you have an alternative launcher installed. But you can still keep TW and have your alternative set as default launcher.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

thx,
Excellent information, indeed
Most appreciated

You need to understand that TW is more than just a collection of apps and the home launcher. It is embedded into the entire system framework; you cannot simply "delete" it. The only way to not have TW is to not be running a stock ROM , or any ROM based off of stock. Basically you need to flash an AOSP ROM like Cyanogenmod to truly get rid of TW.

Everyone can do with this simple tutorial.
Make your own rom with your own taste of idea's (Lightweight CM/Xperia S Style/iOS/Sense)
I am not pretty sure but i think you can do it better
Code:
#include
* Your warranty is now void.
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
* Submitting bug reports on nightly builds is the leading cause of male impotence.

Get A Rom You Desire For Your Device (CM Based/Aosp Based) Recommended.
Based ROM/Kernel​
For this tutorial i am using my Huawei Ideos U8150 and i used the based from CM7.2 via get.cm
*F.Y.I : If you're based rom using the XXXX Kernel therefore it recommended running on XXXX Kernel not YYYY or other's*
Basic Rom Layout​
A proper roms should have META-INF & system inside the zip
Not all rom will have an boot.img/nand folder/some will not have (Stock)
Editing Updater-script​
It's not recommend to edit those symlink if you are not really know what your are doing
Some pretty useful guide such as this & this may help you (or you may script this)
System Folder​
Pic above show a rom/system folder should look like
some may have csc/cameradata/wifi/vendor folder
Follow you based rom
APP Folder​
Inside the app folder there are massive lot apk files whereby some can be removed and some can't be removed
it also a folder you can add modded apk such as launcher/widget/theme add-on
Here list of CM " Barebones" that you may remove and those that you are not suppose to!
Example you are not using the dspmanager therefore you may remove it.Save up ram & space for system
Example you are installing Cool Music.apk then move it here
Should Not Touch This Part​
You may add any file into this folder but removing them may risk your device into a bootloops
Make sure that the tweak/files that you about to add is on same based CM7>CM7 & CM9>CM9
Bootanimation and Creative Sound​
This is a folder you can give some touch to add cool list of bootanimation & sound.
Just replace or add any bootanimation that make it cooler then other's
Make sure the bootanimation it is for the screen resolution or else ending up wrong scaling of res
Bootanimation collection such as this & use the search for more
Build.prop​
You can edit all you need including changing to your own personal named *Gangam Style Rom*
You may also include list of build.prop tweak that can speed up your device *minor*
Make sure you have a backup copy or else you may end up bootlooping due to wrong line
Some list of collection of tweak for you "here & here"
Notes
This tutorial can be used on any other android devices with different brand's it's general usage for everyone
Once Again Do Make A Nandroid backup before you starting
Know what you are doing because no person will provide gurantee on your own action
Use or port any desire app to your rom but don't expect you will be a developer (it just customizing,almost everyone can do it)
If you uses this thread & encounter any problem.There won't be a Q&A session going on.
This is own experimental action that you should keep in mind may brick your device therefore do some reading and searching
No PM's or Forcing me to tell you what you should do next.You may help other but PM-ing will end up you get reported.
Special thanks to major xda member whom contribute to the device forum & happy developing
Nevertheless if you are happy with this guide press the thanks or donate to me ,If you're not then i can't help so

Welcome.
This may reduce soft-modder & for that less unnecessary problem from Rom that caused brick because it's developed by someone....

build.prop editing
COROLLARY
A build.prop file can sometimes also be found in system/bin/ under the name build.prop or simply build. If such a file exists, it needs to be modified too.
This file actually takes precedence over the build.prop file found in system/. This means that the settings will be called from this file and will overwritte the settings found in system/build.prop. It also means that you can modify only this file.

nice tutorial mate! \m/ very helpful for newcomers developers

Update 5
Introduction
Maybe it's not too late for a Custom ROM for S5830, but I just want to share this ROM with you.
The name is SGA RAINBOW, and is for GT-S5830 model also known as “Cooper”. It’s based on Stock firmware – GB 2.3.6 XWKTM and is a stock Custom ROM.
There is nothing original added, but is stable, nice, no fake, no warez. I use it every day.
I know, were made some more Stock Custom ROM for S5830, some of them quite good. I have a list with them, but is not here the place to say that would be the best.
I hope it will find some users that will test it and like to use it on the phone, as I like.
This is not a Copyrighted ROM.
You can use any part of my ROM, but just list my name in your credits.
Warning
This ROM should be applied to witch having the model Ace GT-S5830, and is not for model GT-S5830i.
If you update in a GT-S5830i model, you will brick your device.
This ROM is not for very beginners. If you are a very beginner, please first to get comfortable to other Custom ROM's, backups, and "how to flash a firmware with Odin". You can also wait to appear some reviews here.

You do not have to follow my advice if you're not sure that what you want to do, is what you can or need to do.
Do it at your own risk.

Flashable zip Fonts
Because the font it is important for how it looks a ROM, I thought to post some fonts of which you can choose.
The fonts are:
GT-S5830 Default font - to return to the GT-S5830 original font.
Laconic font - to return to the Laconic font, in case that you changed.
Lastwaerk font
Rosemary font
How to install:
Download archive, it contains four CWM flashable zip fonts.
Unzip downloaded archive on PC.
Choose the flashable zip font you want.
Put flashable zip font on SDCard.
Go to CWM and install it.
Done.
Note:
Keep in mind that the new flashable zip font, will become the default font.
In order to avoid some errors, if the default font was changed in Settings -> Display -> Font style, you must first return to the default font, and then install a new flashable zip font.

Thank you.

For your information the launcher is Android:SMSAgent-AHY [Trj] and many know, the download is interrupted, it's not a false positive. Your theme looks interesting and can be a little translucent. This phone still exists ?
One a good job launcher : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/themes-apps/cm7-touchwiz30launcher-t2883929
- mod and write false, repack, sign for a statusbar translucide (if you understand)

If someone finds a malware in launcher, I can change it.
Otherwise, I do not intend to put another, especially recommended.
And if I will change it, I will choose which will be.

I think he is trying to tell you that the included launcher has malware in it and look at the launcher link he has posted and modify it for transparent statustbar and repack it into the rom

Maybe it's just a bad translation, as he is not a native english speaker.
However, he is right, cooee launcher is infected with Android:SMSagent-ahy. That's why I stopped using cooee launcher and other mods
