Root MIUI - Working Data & SMS. . .

Data and SMS are now working. The only bugs left are MMS doesn't work in the stock messaging app (3rd party works) and the 4G icon only displays a "G"

Everyone should thank Erishasnobattery and DroidVicious for this monumental achievement. From what I've heard, it was Eris who finally got data working

The working version hasn't been uploaded yet, but word is that it will be released tonight. Make sure to follow THIS thread if you're interested

This is a big day for MIUI fans and for all forthcoming 4G LTE phones to now be able to run this ROM. Can you say MIUI Galaxy Nexus :)
 
Wow last I heard is they had voice working but were still working on data/sms, now to get DV started on porting ICS :p Good find Worm!
 
I may actually try this out. Last time I ran MIUI I couldn't stand it but with all the build up I've seen with this rom I am tempted to give it a go.

Same here. Let us know what you think.

Haha, looks like if you donate you get the beta. Now where did I hear that before?
 
thats awsome that they have figured it out. as worm said,this is a huge achievement to get this working without source. the dedication of DV and eris definately are to be commended.

i flashed it a long time ago,and it ran great. while its awsome that its working,i personally hate the ui,lol. ive no desire to run it for more than a few minutes ;)

tho im extremely happy for all those that have been waiting for it,and have a huge admiration for the dedication and work thats gone into bringing it to this level :cool:
 
I know. There are a lot of MIUI fans out there although I do not like the iPhone look of it personally. I hope they donate as well they should. DV certainly put it out there.
 
I was not a big fan of the UI either, but I am going to at least try it for a day.

I hope these guys have jobs where their skill is rewarded. Donations are nice, but these guys deserve more.

What kernel does it ship with? Imo's?
 
I have no idea what I think of running this ROM right now. I am running it, but I'm not sure if I want to use it all day or not. First impressions is runs great.

But that may be because of IMO's kernel on there ;)

Edit: One thing is for sure. This things RIL for GPS is SPOT ON.
 
Something is going on with GPS. No matter which rom I flash, sense or aosp, the GPS is spot on. They must have fixed something?

If everyone dontated that said they would these guys are not as worried about their bills for a while ;)
 
Color me impressed. I messed around with it for the last hour and I kind of like it. I am with That's. There are some things I really like, such as the notifications drop down. I hate no app drawer. Got a crazy quadrant score ~3100 @ 1.4 GHz. Really smooth. But only very basic settings (but they are well organized).

I am flashing back to Liquid for now, mostly because I need working Google Voice mail. I will definitely be stopping back by.

Wait..what?

On CM7 your GPS is amazingly fast too?

Well Liquid 3.2b, but cm7 based. I get a very fast lock the past few days whereas it used to take like forever. (or at least until I gave up) I did flash a sense rom about a week ago but nothing since and multiple Liquid flashes in between.
 
I can't get some things to activate with their unlock application. Like Fancy Widgets Unlocker, for one. Frustrating that it won't work.
 
Sorry if this is answered on rootz, but superuser gave me some issues. I could not get TiBu to get root until I installed the SU and busybox from the market. After I did that everything seemed to go OK, but it made me feel like there was something broken in the background that would rear its head as some point.

Edit: BTW, I did enable SU in the settings as per the MIUI OP on rootz. TiBu could still not get root.

I totally went and installed SU from the market, worked after that.

I'm back on my CM7 install. The GPS is still stellar on here. I don't know what they did, but I like it!

I think they pretty much fixed the AOPS GPS bug a month or so ago. Someone finally figured it out. I still boot into recovery with a GPS lock when I am going to switch ROMS, though, just because it can save so much pain.

Edit: thanks for confirming the SU thing, too.

I took the suggestion of Worm (on another site) and created a folder in the dock for my apps - Works just like an app drawer, pretty much, and made things much less cluttered.

I like the look and feel overall of MIUI, but it's a bit too iphoney for me. I miss the familiarity of the standard Android menus as well. I wish it had a bit more connection to other Android ROM's in it's layout, especially with settings menus.
 
Brizzey you can always run your launcher of choice. I ran it on my incredible for a day,I hate no app drawer also.
