Hello all!
This is my very first post on this forum... I wanted to post it in the official developer's thread, but I have no permissions to do so and I have no other choice than write it right here.... So I hope you enjoy it and so the developers. Ah, I'm from Brazil... so sorry about my poor English.
A week ago, I downloaded the latest M&M's MIUI rom (V.6) and installed in my Xperia X10. "But fallenearth, have you, in one week, experienced enough to write a review?" Yes, I did.
First of all, I have the X10a. Might be that some issues I had is because the Rom was made for X10i.. I don't know...
The good things about this ROM:
First one, is the speed. Wow! They've capped out the frameskip, and the animations and transitions flow very well. Everything runs fast. You flip the page, and there it is... doesn't choke like basically all the other roms.
The interface is very clean, so you don't need to worry about all the crappy widgets the CM roms have. By the way, this rom is based on FXP CM7.2, but much, much better. I know how people love CM, but for xperia.... hmmm...
The theme that comes with the rom is superb. There are a lot of graphics controls and options... you can even choose the color of the led for any instance of callings.
There are specific options for the launcher... witch is common, but nicely arranged.
The installation is very easy, specially because the Aroma installer. It's like installing a default program in your pc, with the touchscreen working. Really well done (even the screen keeps sliding to the right... but it's ok, much better than just in the recovery boot program)
Now, the bad things
I've experienced a lot of flaws in this rom.
The first I detected was the difficulty to connect to some WiFi devices, like the CM roms. Depending on the device, it takes an eternity to connect. Yes, I've installed the wifi modules correctly (if you don't, in attempt to switch the wifi on, you'll receive an error message).
Some apps crashes. All the entertaining "booth" apps from Pivi & Co. stop to work. The latest Root Explorer release doesn't work either. A bunch of backed up apps failed to start, so you have to download it again, losing all the backed up data...
There is no App Launcher button. In the beginning, you get lost, and then you find out that all the apps you download and install get loose in the main screen. Well, there is a magic the scroll down the full program list, but I confess... with the status bar activated, you'll rarely will be able to do so. Then, if you want to uninstall some app, you'll have to do by App Manager. It's not a real complaint, but you have to get used with it, and it might take some time.
They messed up the proximity sensor. It just doesn't work, even it turned on in settings.
The camera... oh god the camera... It comes with 2 main camera apps - the MIUI's and the Cm7. No FC and Flashlight works in CM7 Camera App, so I'll not even consider this one.
The MIUI camera, they said they'd improved it. But maybe for worse. There is no zoom, even if you choose to use the volume buttons to turn it on or off. The camera image in display lags a lot, and it's common the app crash. So, I'm sorry, but the camera sucks hard. Two camera apps and none works.
A lot of itens, shortcuts and buttons and some apps are in chinese. So, if youre not a china guy or a Jedi, you'll have to do a "Russian roulette" to choose between Task Manager or App kill, for instance.
The MIUI Music App might be the second worst thing about the rom (losing only for the camera). It's beautiful, have a lots of settings, easy to use, have a EQ, a Fade setting... It would be one of the best music app for android.... but it crashes, and crashes a lot, crashes really hard and you have to pull out the batteries and reboot the phone. It conflicts with the Activity Launcher and... dead end, reboot your phone. In a lot of times it shutted down alone, by itself, and if I pulled out the batteries it won't restart. In the main thread, they say:
Have you Problems with Freeze/FC`S etc..please do one of the following or both:
Disable the EQ (Press the menu button from within the MIUI MUSIC APP and press "Disable EQ"), or..
Turn OFF fade settings in the settings of the MIUI MUSIC APP (press the menu button,
go into settings and scroll to the bottom, its there!)
if you try one or the other and still have the issue then try both.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Damn! If you have related bugs in your App and you know it before it's release, you just don't release it with the bugged issues. You try to fix, and then when you can't detect anymore bugs, you release it.
They haven't added the setting "hold volume button to change the song while locked". This is outrageous. Now they have "Shake your phone to change song"... Well, if you're going to jog, make a cooper or something... well, you're screwed.
The "Updating" app (to update the rom) doesn't work at all. If you click "search for updates, a dialog box flashes into the screen and disappears. Than, you think that it might be a "sign up" issue. So, you try to sign up. It requires your cell number to send a activation SMS. If you're in Brazil like me, for example, there's no way you number can be accepted. Always "invalid" number. So, you go to the "e-mail registration", which, I think, should be to instead a SMS, it sends you an activation e-mail. So, you click there, and you're sent to a web page of registration... all in chinese.... so...
This is not a official complaint... I mean, this is constructive information about issues I've found... I know how hard people work onto this, by themselves... But, issue detected, more chances to fix it and build a flawless rom.
So, final conclusion:
If you seek for a good, clean and fast rom, this is, from far, the best of the customs.
If you seek stability and performance, all working apps etc, I suggest the ol' good original Sony Ericsons' stock rom.
Hope you like it.
Hugs for all!
Not fully Translated to ENGLISH... Many Places Only Chinese
This ROM still not fully translated to English..
I found Chinese in many places... RESULT UNINSTALL....
Please make a full English ROM...
ROM seems very good but cannot understand few Chinese characters.
...
then flash v4 and be happy (but without better speed, smoother, miui transition, beats, xloud, bravia engine, aroma installer and and and..)

M&M Team MIUI is Best
HI,
M&M MIUI is one of the best Custom ROM based on MIUI.
I love to use MIUI but I am not able to find the best one (based on 2.3.7) similar to Cyanogenmod.
I will wait for your perfect ROM soon... Probably V7 or V8.
tried this rom today... it's ok, but oodie's prime x miui rom is far better... much smoother animations, more stable, camera works better, music app doesn't crash...
try it, it has all the good things from m&m's miui, plus some things work better
Guys, please do not compare our rom with Oodies (Great ROM) because its total other ROM.
Our ROM based on FXP and is faster because we have new driver/new Kernel etc..
Yes its right, Camcorder is laggy in High resolution but we wait for fix from FXP Team BUT Camera works FULL!! (Zoom is not surpported in Custom ROMS)
About other Issues..V4 is the stablest ROM the actually, V6 is smoother faster and has many Features but little Problems with chinese Words and 2 apps gives FC but is fixed from Team Member Mao!!
BTW: About Animation we delete ICS Transition because it seems that the ROM is more faster like our old Version with ICS Transition!
Have a nice Weekend!

Our ROM would be much better if the people using it (1) Read install guides and FAQ's and (2) Learned how to use logcat to report bugs.... I am a little insulted by this review, because you are criticizing our work and many of your complains are to do with FXP and MiUI creators themselves. It's not our fault
Good rom camera video lag?
What the change to v7.1?
I had Oodie's MIUI and M&M's MIUI and they were great...Excellent speed and functionality but sometimes very unstable, i dont like MIUI interface so i deleted them.
Im trying FeraLab Roms and they are great! Best choice and that would be my recommendation
Smoot, lots of tweak, customization 100%, Xperia S Software based, Undervolt feature that provides more battery life...
Recommending a Rom should be made on that roms thread.... Do not discourage people from trying this Rom. ...let them try n see....
No hard feelings pls

Well guys we have a pretty good chance to include everything (...what is possible) we ever wanted on our Atrix...
in an other thread th3bill (the dev. behind AOKP milestone 6 port) opened there were alot of request for features on the next builds, th3bill offered to open a discusion which include all requests in one place.
** Th3bill, we love your work and your willing to do for others. your private time "wasted" on porting and developing is not ovious and we do appriciate it. keep on the excellent work and again a major thank, us - the users.
since nobody did it so far i'll start:
i whould like the next build to include:
1. call recording option.
2. video call option.
3. webtop interface?
4. google music.
5. led color control in order to customize notifications.
6. o.c kernel.
7. some other cpu governors.
8. google's android jellybean featuers? espacially build-in voice recognition.
things to fix (what i've noticed):
1. video cam - known problem.
2. browser issus (fc when changing ls and portrait).
3. edit custom brightness levels (fc).
4. can't change signal and wifi colors.
5. also battery bar won't show up.
6. wifi direct won't work.
7. wifi hot spot works and immidiatly stops(maybe it's just my device).
-By now your port is the best rom my atrix had so...big thanks !!!
-I know you working too hard already (DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN !!, i wrote all of the things i think can be added. with or without them it is still almost perfect.
guys it is your turn now...make some suggestions for improvement:
Hey Everyone!
I'm sure most of you know me by now. Those of you who do not, I am NOT the type of rom porter who gets upset by questions/requests/PMs. Just understand that I build 3 builds of MIUI (Photon, Atrix, Infuse), 2 builds of AOKP (Photon, Atrix), 2 builds of Paranoid Android (Photon, Atrix), as well as help Jokersax11 with various projects, including our Kitchen Sink. That being said, it might take me a little bit to respond...but I will.

Enhancements:
1) Call recording, I need to play around with this rom some more...see if it has the capability...maybe I can pull from MIUI...can't guarantee, though
2) That will be tough until Moto gives libs
3) Loki and I have talked at length about this...we're trying to figure out a way to do it, but it will take a hybrid kernel and a lot of work. Not that we won't TRY...
4) This will be in the next release
5) Have an app in mind that I can include? Beauty Aroma is that I can include almost anything
6) I am working with Jokersax11 on making some that are compatible with our base. I know that some are kinda compatible, but not all....
7) By governors, I am assuming you're talking about some form of setcpu?
8) I have the apps on my PC...well some of them.
With respect to fixes, 1 and 2...those won't be till Moto plays nice with me and gives me drivers for ICS.
3) I need a logcat on this one please
4 and 5) Not too sure about these ones. I'll try them with my phone if I get a chance. If you can logcat, that'd be great
6) I think this is an ICS thing. Don't know that any of them do Ad-hoc at the moment
7) You need to forget whatever network you are near if you're connected...and make sure that wifi is ON before beginning tether
Sorry if I am a downer on some of it, but I would rather be honest with everything I tell you all. I have much love for the Android Community
I know of you and your builds well Th3Bill, unfortunately I'm just now working on my 10 posts, I have flashed everything for Atrix and Photon.
Much thanks

Just installed latest build an wanted to say thanks for bill's an jokers hard work..
I personally use the car dock alot an the transitions between audio playing and incoming call tends to be troublesome. When calls answered the phone doesn't port it over the USB. Usually speaker/headset and have to redock in call for it to work... also DSP manager doesn't have effect over the USB audio out. Only reason I revert to original moto rom.
That aside best cm9 based rom yet.

On paranoid android for the atrix when in tablet mode it won't allow me to make the recent apps the Sense htc style one, is there a fix for this?
Question/Report
Not sure if this is the right place to report issues. My luck, probably not. Here it goes..
I had your build 40. worked great!
updated to milestone 6 7b. worked better (yaay)
tried to update to milestone 6 revision. No wipe, same as previous, sent atrix into bootloop. tried few more times, same thing.
tried again with full wipe. Bootloop. tried again. bootloop. flashed 7b full wipe, works great again (yaay).
Just curious if you have any idea why my phone doesn't like the new one. saw in the rom thread a few others had same issue or similar, no answers there as of yet. i'm hesitant it try again unless you can think of something i could possibly be doing wrong somehow. Anything i can send or tell you that could help, let me know. Thanks
As for requests, i prefer Apex launcher over Nova. Maybe include it? it would be nice if i could uninstall Nova also
You Rock!
*So i tried installing again and it works now. not sure what the problem was*

hi,
not really worked...users didn't cooporate and besides cm 10 (JB) is already here and not bad, so this is closed!!
i wanna thank Th3Bill for his effort and wish you will continue develop for us.

Problems
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this. If not, i apologize.
I flashed your AOKP build 3 on my international atrix. The ROM doesn't recognize internal and external storage for me. When my phone boots it says that is safe to remove sd card. I used the two options EMMC and SD with or without build.prop tweaks. Also i flash this with FULL wipe (system, etc) The other thing that i cannot find are GApps. Can I use CM10 GApps for this rom ?
Thanks in advance.
So, are there options for an OCed kernel yet?
* Moved to development thread. *
I would really love to see an option to "Show only contacts with phone numbers" on Contact list settings...MIUI has this option and this is super usefull for me
MIUI SMS app is great too, but it doesn´t show smileys
Thanks

I am getting my s4 in a few days and I think I'll flash carbon rom straight away (to avoid resetting at a later stage) but what good features do I lose from touchwiz? Is there anything in particular I could miss?
How are game performances? Do certain games have compatibility problems with non OEM roms?
I have loads of games on my s2, is it okay to transfer DATA backup (or apk?) with titanium backup. I read this affects battery life due to old files or is that just for background apps?
How is battery life verses touchwiz rom?
If I flash 4.3 carbon now will I more than likely have to reset to update to 4.4, I read this happened. 4.2-4.3
Thanks

You lose every single gimmicky Touchwiz feature. Chances are you won't be only flashing one rom and I recommend you don't flash just one rom anyways. You can really get a feel for a rom until you actually flash it, so just flash whatever you want to try out until you find the right rom.
Battery life CAN be better, depending on which rom + kernel + kernel settings you choose to use, so just try different things until you find the right stuff for your kind of phone usage.
Also, you will most definitely be updating Roms. And if you like to keep up to date you will be wiping/flashing pretty often. Final advice, just flash different Roms and READ a lot so you don't screw something up.

Okay thanks very much
What's your opinion on using titanium backup from:
An old phone
Through rom updates
And across different roms?
Any recommendations in roms to try?
-would you recommend carbon?
-I want stability/support with games
-good standby battery (does underclock/volting actually help? )
-data speeds aren't a problem as they aren't great anyway here but do all roms still have wifi tethering? I use wifi when it works (rural Ireland :/)
-stable gps
-likely to receive 4.4
I know it's a lot to ask for
I also like loads of customisation So I think stripped down/google edition are out of the choice
I actually prefer the TW Rom as you gain:
Better camera app that makes full use of the closed drivers which AOSP doesn't apart from the GPE editions, you gain burst mode and other modes on TW,
IR full support bit patchy on AOSP roms,
TW features, such as AirView which I find useful quickly hover over emails or sms messages for a preview on the native apps, also works on the native music player,
Multi Window, useful as sometimes I'll have YouTube running while browsing or replying back to an email or message or such,
Stability, it should be stable compared to AOSP roms, use my phone as a daily driver so stability is important,
Native social network syncing if you make use of social networks which ties in with your events and calendars,
Etc, you'd need to explore TW and see if you make use of any of its features, AOSP is goods, but with xposed framework TW is more than bearable. Only thing I dislike is the theme of stock TW but I alternate between domination theme and Naxos and it gets rid of the stock colours, speaking of colours TW has native screen display options to change the display colour,
Adapt sound is also useful which boosts headphone sounds tailored to your headphones and also boosts call sound.

Yes, simply because they don't have access to the "closed" drivers implemented by Samsung.
I've done it in the past it shouldn't be a problem at all. Just update on your existing phone, you can then either upload it to the cloud or transfer the contents to your new phone and just restore everything. Should work without any hitches.
Xposed might fill my need of customisation
Have you come across anything like extsd2internalsd from s3 for s4?...Outside of directory bind?

Okay ill try that thanks
Just one last question...
I understand that linking the Android folder is a bad idea because it breaks the path to data or obb.
So most games use obb, is it a good idea to just link the obb folder(only one mount) or should I do each game separately
I'm wondering which will work best with updating, I think obb?
I made a mess with directory bind before :0
Does folder mount allow mount at boot or is that just a bad idea(is this a constant process or does the phone just look for a file a get redirected)
Folder Mount is fine it boots at startup. I link the folder which has the data/obb file for each game. It works well and rarely has any issues with it. Free version is only limited to 3 mounts if more you'd have to pay for the full app but it's worth it and reviews are great.

Have you ever had problems updating apps? Or do you unmount, download and move over each time?
Hey,
I didnt know where i should Post my Bug Report so if its the wrong section dont hold back to tell me.
I'm currently using my Galaxy S2 for daily use and after flashing some Kitkat Roms Omni is in my opinion the most stable rom and with Nova + ART a damn fast Rom, so thank you very much for supporting my Device.
I dont know whats happening the last weeks but it all began with an Opendelta Issue, i wiped all Data / Factory Reset via TWRP and flashed the Rom completely new and OpenDelta still didnt work, it just said every day its all up2date. Now after a couple of days it is working again, dont know if it was a Server Issue or something else - at the official Omni Page no one post News so i have always to guess whats happening
Currently i found 2 Bugs, if you want to call someone you open up the Dialer and then the Button for the Numbers but after clicking it, theres nothing(Screenshot is attached). You have to go back and try it again then the Numbers are there. The second Problem is that there is no Zoom in the AOSP Camera App if you record a Video. My currently workaround is the Google Camera App, there all is working fine. Also there are some Issues with Apollo , freezing , doesnt update the Song DB etc. , dont know why its so popular - its horrible. Replaced it also with a 3rd party App - Omich/Rocket Player.
The last Problem is that not everywhere in the Settings the correct language is used, if you need some translation help im sure many users would like to help(including me) but that is in my opinion nothing critical .
...and sorry if my Text was hard to read, its not my native language but im working on it :silly:

Per the FAQ, this is not the place to put bug reports.
However, I9100 hasn't been maintained in a long time, so filing a bug report will be a waste of time. Support for this device is currently going to be dropped with Android 5.0, and if it receives 4.4 bugfixes, that'll have to come from a new maintainer as none of the former maintainers have time/motivation for the Exynos 4210 devices these days.
Some of the issues you describe with Apollo aren't Apollo issues, but the result of a very deep-down core bug that has a side effect of screwing up storage access. This bug has been known for nearly a year (there's a big thread disucssing it somewhere around here...) and still no one has found a fix for the root cause. In fact, it's one of the #1 reasons the device is getting dropped for L. (It will absolutely not receive nightlies unless someone finds and corrects the root cause.)
Hey,
Thank you for your response. :good:
I reported the Bug on jira and there is a workaround for the Dialer Bug: Setting The Animator Scale higher than 0.
The Drivers are the problem right?

Well, there are three things you listed:
1) Dialer stuff - probably some sort of odd HDPI issue and/or graphics subsystem stuff. The Exynos4 graphics subsystem is why many developers don't want to ever touch the platform again.
2) Zoom in video - What resolution was Google Camera? Zoom has NEVER been available for 1080p resolutions on the Exynos 4210 family, not even stock firmware will zoom in 1080p
3) The storage issues are a symptom of a deep-down kernel bug that no one has found the root cause of. This is the #1 reason the device is getting dropped for 5.0 - there is no chance even if a new maintainer steps up that nightlies will resume until someone tracks down the root cause of this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612329 has more discussion (warning: It's long...)

I'm impressed. I have a Moto G 2nd Gen, which supposedly was one of the first devices to get Lollipop, but you beat them to it
NEW BUILD!
New build posted!
Mitigated a kernel issues causing lag
CM Sources update
Dude, thanks. Sero 7 and Dev's just keeps surprising me.
LOVE IT, minus one killer bug.
Thank you so much for this wonderful ROM. I understand you are a busy man and are working on many things at the same time. But there is one bug that I've noticed in this build, that may or may not apply to more devices, I am not sure. It seems that it is possible to set the brightness to absolute zero, and by that I mean that the backlight goes completely off and you can't do anything. I had to reinstall the ROM because I accidentally did this the first time I adjusted the brightness. Other than that bug though, this runs perfectly from what I've noticed.
I can't seem to log into your website, it wont send me a password in the email when I try and register, so I'm wondering if it's okay if I can post any bugs that I find here rather than in the comments section there.
Thanks for your work

My apologies for the sign up issues on my site. I believe I have them worked out and I have cleared your attempt so you can try again if you like.
NEW BUILD!
External SD fixed
SeLinux: enforcing
:highfive:
I tried to install Mounts2SD after installing the latest build and it warned that the device was S-on protected which never happened on the DoPa 2.51 build. Any thoughts on what this would mean?

Hmm... S-on is an HTC thing isn't it? Like some sort of bootloader thing I think... Strange. Might be an Sepolicy issue.
I'll look into it... I currently looking into Apps2SD issues on another device ATM...
HTC and something else if I remember correctly.

A few things I noticed from the latest build (12/29). These are more notes on what I've observed from using the build so others might know ahead what to anticipate:
1 - I know this is alpha and I'm assuming this is more on the Cyanogenmod end but things really drag speed wise. Hopefully once more bug fixes and optimization happens in the CM12 code we'll start seeing better speed.
2 - Titanium Backup does not want to restore at all. I mean it just sits there. I tried to update Busybox and change over to SuperSU with no luck at all. Maybe it's just me.
3 - I'm assuming we'll see theme options further down the road on CM12? I really don't care much for the color scheme that it comes with stock as I prefer a more holo dark/blue look.
4 - From my limited time in use it seems like most basic functions are working fine for an alpha level build. External MicroSD is working perfectly fine now. I installed PowerAMP from Play Store and both mp3 and flac files are playing fine. Didn't have a chance to test BT. GPS, WiFI, headphone port, audio, etc are all working fine. The only thing I noticed is that WiFi passwords do not stick upon reboot. I know we had the same issue on the Verizon Note 3 with 4.4.2 and it was a simple build.prop fix but dang if I can't remember what that fix is offhand.
Thanks Meticulus for the hard work you've put into bringing us CM12. Can't wait for CM12 to mature and hopefully we'll get CarbonROM Lollipop soon as well.

1. I have noticed the stutter when launching apps and although I wish i could, I can't blame this on the CM team. I have not yet been able to narrow it down but I'll keep working to find it.
2. SeLinux/SePolicy is much more strict in Lollipop/CM12 as compared to KitKat/CM11. If it is an sepolicy issue then avc denials will show up in the audit log (/data/misc/audit/audit.log). If this is the case then it may be that sepolicy will need to be modified to allow TI to work... However making that change may cause security risks.... Then it may be some else entirely. Logs would be helpful....
3. Afaik, CyanogenMod 12 has not been released yet and there aren't even any official builds for "supported" devices. I suspect they still have a lot of work to do. The new "theme chooser" introduced in CM11 is missing. There is no built in "performance" app as there usually is...
4. Bluetooth definitely does not work. I'm going to have to get creative and/or lucky to get that working properly. It's a question mark right now. I do plan to try to find a way to build and maintain more than one ROM. It'll take some time though... Might not be Carbon... might try a different ROM....

Is it safe to do a dirty flash? Or should I do a clean install?

Don't dirty flash this one, the selinux contexts will be messed up if you do....
Alright, thanks!

True. It's a matter of optimizing code and what not I'm assuming.

I'll try to get you a log in the next day or two. I've been busy working on a project on my Verizon Note 3 not to mention I'm still trying to find a recovery that will still let me restore back to my CarbonROM 4.4.2 backup. Seems like the newer recoveries aren't letting me restore back... very weird.
3. Afaik, CyanogenMod 12 has not been released yet and there aren't even any official builds for "supported" devices. I suspect they still have a lot of work to do. The new "theme chooser" introduced in CM11 is missing. There is no built in "performance" app as there usually is...

True true. I was more of less noting there being no theme support for those wanting to know more than anything else.

I'll try to get you a log of Bluetooth use on my end alongside with the Titanium Backup issue.
