Root GB miui 2.3.5

@GingaB, just remembered, i figured out what the problem was, it was the MIUIAppShare app thing that id clicked on to update right after i installed MIUI-XJ, i accepted it to download some updates and as soon as it did everything turned back to Chinese, lol i dont even know what that app is/does, seriously, what is it?, installed 1.7.22 just now and didnt download the MIUIAppShare update thing and all is good, just need to clear the notification whenever it appears i guess.

Ahh, how do i delete it? is it a case of deleting it from the zip then reflashing the rom? just tried to delete it from "manage applications" but no option to delete.
 
Yeah you can delete it before you flash the rom and If you're S-OFFed you can delete it via root explorer...
 
Battery life is now amazing with the new update, it was charged yesterday morning and i still have 28% left now. According to battery left widget it should last 37 hours
 
Not surprised Phil! Ive had v1.7.1 running on my Desire for a while now. I literally charge my phone every other day no exaggaration!
 
I find with me I have some good days and some ok days, today I've made some calls a few texts and read a load of emails, screen on time is 30 minutes and I'm at 66% battery left, I've been off charge since 0540 this morning, so 8 hours, still loving it, far far better than stock.

anyone updated to 1.7.26

Might have to go back to 1.7.15 due to force close on theme manager

Noticed this pop up last night, not going to bother if theres force closes in theme manager again, that did my head in last time it happened, cheers for the feedback :p
 
Hardly surprising to be honest! Since v.1.7.1 they have changed the mtz formats slightly and added few new features on the rom which is causing problems so until they iron out the kinks I for one wont be updating..

TBH 1.7.22 has been about the most stable for me, unless there's gunna be some big features adding in future updates I don't think ill bother updating now for a while.
 
I went back to 22 and had the same problem so nandroid recovery vack to .15 and still had the problem.
I removed all downloaded themes and problem has gone i can use theme manager again.

Back on 26 now

Hmm thought converting the old themes to latest format would solve the problem.
 
Anyone know how to change the icon of an app in MIUI? (without using a launcher)

The default email client doesn't seem to have an option to limit download size of emails, so I am using K9.

But I hate that icon for K9 - so I was hoping I could use the default email app ICON, and either have it point towards K9, or else change the K9 ICON.

I found the folder using root explorer which has the icons:
data/system/theme/icons

but I can't seem to open it?

I was hoping to replace the K9 one in
data/system/customized_icons_1 folder

In a rage i deleted all the themes on my phone, now i cant find the one i really like with the blue wifi, signal and battery icon and the ship on the lock screen. I downloaded it from theme manager and now its gone
 
I got the below working ok, was easy enough.

Since I couldn't retrieve the email icon I wanted from data/system/theme/icons using root explorer (as the folder wouldnt open - I used root explorer to email the folder to my email address.

Then on the PC I added the .rar extension to the emailed file.

I was able to open in winrar and extract out the email icon I wanted.

I then renamed it to the same name as the K9 icon in the data/system/customized_icons_1 folder.

I then emailed this icon to my phone, and saved the .png to my sd card.

Then using root explorer, I renamed the existing K9 icon to .old, and used root explorer to move the icon I wated from the sd card.

Rebooted and now the K9 app uses the default email icon!


(who knows what will happen if ROM or K9 is updated though.)

Phil I have a suggestion. Stick with a version which has worked for you for a lil while.... Hopefully MIUI will be stable in few weeks time.
 
Has anybody got the old black themed market working on 1.7.29?? Its not installing for me since the new market came out last week...

UPDATE: got it working!
