Root [ROM][MIUI] Official MIUI [PORT]

Pros: Data works (both 1x, and 3G). All the apps actually work, I love the MIUI Gallery, and the MIUIFileManager. Calling works & SMS works great, I love the UI. Everything else mostly works. The lockscreen works perfectly.
Cons: Data works but I can't go on the Market, or the Internet, but I was able to sign into my Gmail account on the setup. I can't go into settings, so that means no wifi, or any other testing in there. It's a bit laggy but it's better than I expected.
THIS IS AWESOME. If you guys can fix the bugs in this to make it a everyday ROM, I would be one happy camper :3


Follow my instructions on how to install....it fixes all the market problems as well as browser and settings problems....follow it and read it twice!!!
Its not in op yet, its in a couple posts before this one.
 
Alright, they finally figured out how to fix settings and I made sure it works.

Ported from the Optimus V here

Intructions:
1) Wipe /data /system /boot /cache /dalvik-cache
2) Flash the 3/23/12 version
3) Reboot into phone
4) Reboot back into recovery (to open the pop-up menu you must be on lockscreen)
5) Flash the 3/28/12 version*
6) Reboot into phone
7) Reboot into recovery
8) Flash gapps*
9) Reboot and enjoy!

*Note: Do NOT wipe anything, just flash it.

Downloads:

gapps

Features:
  • Full MIUI (notice some lockscreens that are not the right size will not let you unlock and you will have to wipe all over again)
  • Deodexed
  • Stable
  • Smooth
  • Apps are added to the main drawer (no app drawer)-kinda like iPhone

What works:
  • Music app works (there are issues in the app itself though that aren't important, but it will play your music just fine)-downloading music with it doesn't work, lyrics don't work
  • Everything else important

What doesn't work:
  • A few settings in the settings menu
  • Help me find more xD

*This post will be deleted when put on OP


My phone is stuck at the MI boot screen... :/
 
the MIUI, BobZhome 2-2-12 version, and ICSthemed are all the same kernel, both ports use the kernel from BobZhome's 2-2-12 version and I will continue using that version because the new version will have that Metro boot screen....

Why does the Kernel you use influence the boot screen? Is it like hard coded in or something? I come from a pure Linux background so I am still learning about the tweaks, modifications and goofiness in Android.

Yeah. I think it's the initlogo.rle in the kernel.

in an effort to help, Do you have an idea as to why we need to flash one and then the other?? I was comparing the two roms, and i obviously see many differences in the files, probably most importantly the image sizes, but why is it that we are flashing twice?

I can't get data to work for me on this rom... But I feel like I did once before, not that I can recall.
 
Well, that's a question for sammyz. He says that settings don't work out of a fresh wipe, but i'm pretty sure it worked good for me. Try without wiping and tell me if it works. I would, but I don't have my Optimus M anymore.. :(

settings don't work if you don't.....it does this on the Optimus V as well.....it's some strange problem...probably corrupt .apk....I tried replacing settings.apk but it still wont work from a fresh wipe :(

Also the update is deodexed and the 3/23 is not.....so this is a hard to fix thing....idk what to do
 
Ummm So i put it to silent. And it vibrated. And i was like ok w.e untilllll Now it vibrates for everything. Anyone know how to dsiable vibrate? I tried in settings the toggles. But nothing. Is there an app that disables it lol
