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.
A good friend of mine supposedly shut off his A500 during a upgrade/update. The unit still powers on but all I can get it to show is "boot verified failed..." in the upper-left corner of the Acer screen. I've downloaded several ROMs and tried reflashing from the SD card but no luck in reviving this. All I get is the Android triangle. I've reformatted the SD card. I've tried the Vol + power + screen lock stuff, too. I can't get to any other screen to change any settings... period. Many of the ROMs that I would like to try are dead links now that the government has shut them down. This is a US unit. Would someone be kind enough to direct me to where I can get the right stock ROM so I can at least get this thing running for him?

Thanks for your response and it DOES look like it would work... IF I could access anything on the tablet - like enabling USB Debugging, etc. I can't get to it. What I need is something I can flash or boot right from the SD card as that's the only thing I have access to.
with this you do not need to have access to nothing. Download the file From the thread above to your windows pc. OPEN THE Zip file. it will have all the tools and A VERY DETAILED set of instructions. Find the instruction file and fallow it.
Many people have used this with ease. If you want help just flashing another.zip file. post the rom that was on the tablet . the recovery installed as well.

OK, I tried it out and it doesn't pick up the tablet as I don't think USB debugging is enabled and I have no way to enable it. That's why I'm asking for a method to flash it from the SD card.
BTW, I found the S/N inside the SD card door.
You could try decrypting one of the update roms;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Note that some are encrypted, and you have to de-crypt with the tool listed there.
Extract and copy the update.zip. Copy to SD.
Boot by vol- or vol+, and see if it will install.
There are a couple of other tips in the threads, like toggling the button for Portrait lock, to force the tab to start formatting.

Thanks VERY much! I swear I must have tried these before and they didn't work. However, I missed one important step - unzipping the update.zip from the file! DOH! I feel really stupid but the tablet is running 100% perfectly.

Hey, really, it's no problem. Glad we all could help get you up and running.
No, I haven't used that method, since my HTC desire. Same principle though.
I'd tell you the principle behind it, but it's rather long.
Glad you got it going.
My pals and I, are launching a new site. Hopefully it will be for people not so technically PHD'd with android. Not quite so technical as XDA. You're more than welcome to place some info, when we launch. It's more community orientated, so a different venue.
XDA, is, and always will be the place to come for the really technical stuff. As you see, there are users here, which will give you what they know. May not always be the fix, but, some people here "do" care.

Hello all, I've tried searching but I haven't been able to find anything that really answers my question. I bought a used A500 that had been updated to 4.0.3 and the auto rotate is not working. Is this an issue with the leak ICS version? This is my first android device and I bought it primarily for a comic reader so the rotation is kind of a big deal to me. Is there a way to manually rotate for now? Is there a fix other than reverting to factory settings and if not how would I go about doing that? The guy I bought the tablet from didnt leave an external SD card in it and I don't know how to check for the factory backup file. Thanks in advance for helping a new Android user.

Which version of 4.0.3?
Take a look and see if it is Thor's ICS Rom. If it is, you can access the rotation lock through the internal menu settings. With his rom, the physical rotation lock doesn't work.
As for a backup, I would suggest you get an external SD card ASAP, and boot to recovery (vol- and PWR) and do a recovery backup.
I really liked your 3.2.1 rom

Sounds like he needs to update to *any* newer version, of any ICS rom. Like the title says I really enjoyed your rom.
Thanks!
The build number is Acer_AV041_A500_0.009.00_WW_GEN1 from what I found I guess that is an older version of the leak but being new to this I'm still not exactly sure.
Maybe I am just reading the question wrong or perhaps it is my simplistic mind at work here, but... Did you try the rotation lock switch that is next to the volume rocker? Just a thought.
Yes. The lock/unlock icon pops up on the screen but it will not rotate.
Sorry to hear that. And hopefully I didn't offend with the elementary suggestion. It was the troubleshooter in me that looks for the easy answer first... One good thing that is going for you, Moscow Desire. I'd do whatever he suggests, he is one of the best around here.
No problem, I can't count the number of times I've been asked to fix something and it turns out to be the easiest solution.
I have no idea what the issue is now, I connected via USB to transfer some files and when I disconnected the rotate worked. Hopefully it will continue to work but anything Moscow Desire suggests to improve my tablet I'm game for.

its buggy and lags alot, theme is nice and has potential, however, not too much of the ui is themed.
How to make screenshot? Power+volume down dosent work for me.
Hy. I think I found a bug. If it has been mentioned yet, than I am sorry.
So. Sometimes the recent button is going to be silly and stucks as clear all button. Is there a way to change the clear all button's position?
Thanks.

So. Sometimes the recent button is going to be silly and stucks as clear all button. Is there a way to change the clear all button's position?
Thanks.

So I really want to try your Rom out but I'm on d801. I tried booting up other d802 roms with no luck. Even after installing a d801 kernel first still had no luck. I saw another user sayin he installed it on his d800 by installing the render kernel first. Will this work on the d801 by first installing the render kernel?
Rom is good but need help with something.
Hi. I downloaded the rom succesfully. But there is one problem. When i lock the screen, it opens itself when i move or touch it. Any Help?
good works
turkish language support?
Problem
Hello guys, first off ... I'm pretty new at this whole Android custom ROMs, rooting thing. So I screwed up. I tried installing the DarkoBas PSD ROM via ADB. My LG G2 D802 was rooted using StumpRoot app, then I couldn't get to the Recovery Reboot so I used an app, that worked and I wiped data and cache ... Couldn't find the Dalvik cache so I left that out. Next thing I connected it to the PC via USB cable and sent the .zip file through ADB, it took a while but it was transfered ok, the phone started preping itself and then the installation stopped and something like "Unable to unmount /sdcard" and "Unable to unmount /system". I thought "damn it, I'm gonna have to stick with the stock ROM". But it was even worse, after reboot the phone doesn't start up... When I hold down the PWR button the LG logo pops up and after few seconds a text appears under it saying "Security Error". And that's it, I can't get to the Recovery mode or Download mode (not that I could before). It doesn't even get detected by Windows, no 15HDDs or wrong ID in device manager, nothing. The only thing I can do is get to the "Factory data reset" (which doesn't help BTW) by pressing vol. Down and PWR, after the logo pops up I let go and hold vol. Up and Down... Guys it's bad and I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance.
dont worry you will be able to recover. just seek help in those kind of threads, because this isnt rom specific. basicaly what u need to do is use the lg flash tool to flash stock again and then start over.

I find your work very well. go on like this. can you tell me when the next build comes out for lgg2
there has appeared an error. the display flickers and it was all black and white on the display and then the phone is turned off and turned on again by itself. can you please fix the next build. everything else is great. did great. just please fix this error. thank you man
Hy!
In the Layers app, can I set custom icon packs like Flex?
And if I can, how?
Thanks.
"Power button ends call" seems to be an option within 2 menus, Settings - Remix Settings - Buttons and Soft Keys, as well as Settings - Accessibility. They also don't seem to be synced.
One option remains off while the other remains on.
I appreciate your hard work and time spent on this ROM @darkobas.
May I also add, link ringtone & notification volumes option is not working for me when enabled. Ringtone is on low, option is enabled, yet notifications are coming in at a much higher volume.
Just letting you know, I can live with setting them individually but thought I'd share my experienced bugs so far.

hey that's good ... finally there's someone out there having the same problem as me ...
do you know already what kind of problem it could be ? baseband, build , or kit kat / lollipo problem ?

Hello! First of all Thanks for your EXCELLENT WORK.
Please help me and mb some other headset users.
Long time ago on .32 kernel and some .35 kernels I used wired single button headset and it worked well. Now I want to use it again, and encountered a weird problem: pressing button leads to nothing visible, can't change track or answer call. Tried to remap buttons with apps or with this guide [GUIDE] Take Back Your Headset Controls! and still nothing. One thing I noticed. in Keytest App when I press headset button it looks like
Code:
keyCode=KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK
scanCode=226
but also
Code:
repeatCount
constantly increasing, like I'm clicking button extra fast. So, once button pressed, Keytest app can't recognize this button press anymore.
Also I'm not sure that headset mic is used by rom, "force internal mic" option is disabled. What setting should I check to ensure that phone uses headset mic?
I checked headset on my wife's phone and it's work like it should.
Headset model Stereo Headset MH650
@Blefish, can you take a look on it?

The HuaweiSettings/IDEOSX5Settings force internal mic allows to use the phone's microphone even when headset is connected. It should not make a difference in your case.
The headset configuration is very similar to stock, however, you can try using alternate headset config. Try writing "1" or "2" (without quotes) to /d/msm_hsed_config file (with ADB or terminal emulator; via file manager could work too). This selects between different headset types. I don't have any other clues besides this though :/.
Hi @Blefish,
Many thanks on accomplishing this EPIC work
I am really grateful coz due to you this device is still alive.
1 question, while flashing the zips LMV & CM12 ROM, do we need to select zip verification or we can just skip these?
2 question, is this GAAPS file fine to flash with CM12 - pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.0.1-BETA5-20141225-signed.zip
I have downloaded all the files and await your reply

What do you mean by zip verification? Do you mean the TWRP option in it's settings? Currently LVM install script is not signed so you shouldn't turn it on.
The gapps you mentioned is fine, I am using micro and I believe mini setup should flash too. They have done a very nice job with the gapps script so it will tell you if there is something wrong.
Yes @Blefish, I was referring to the TWRP zip verification. Anyway, I did install the new twrp, LMV and your new ROM with GAAPs. All went well and I'm now on CM12.
Miss the theme engine and xposed though but I guess we all can wait until we get ur next release. I am aware xposed isn't compatible yet with A5.
Thanks for your brilliant work. Will keep you posted on any issues if I find down the line.
Thanks again

Ambient Display
My lock screen is black, it doesn't have the background image, from what I understand this means Ambient Display is enabled, but in the options there's no place to turn it off.
How can I fix this?

This is because the phone has low-ram setting enabled. You can try overriding it in Settings->Performance (high end gfx). Frankly I believe even low-ram devices should show wallpaper in lock screen and when sliding down notification panel.
I don't know if we can support ambient display, I think it's intended for AMOLED displays.

You can add this to build.prop
persist.sys.force_highendgfx=true
This will make our phones fancy
Also, is that normal? Screenshot made at U8860 from 28.12.2014

Hi Guys,
Another way is to use AC Display from PS (its free) use the deprecated version as it gives you the option of using it only while charging (to save RAM & Battery life)
Its working fine on my X5

music player always stop working .

Check the requirements. You are required to install LVM. However next release will probably be supporting LVM and non-LVM configs.

404020 is the last baseband for U8800, so that baseband is required.
