Root [ROM][PORT][FINAL] MIUI 1.11.25-Triumph | 113011-2 (GB 2.3.7 based)

[Chingling]

So I have a problem. I play a game (BT Gangsta) and all of a sudden, a few seconds after I get in the game, it force closes. This game has worked flawlessly before. I did a logcat and it was closing because memory was low. I usually only have about 100 to 125 Mb of memory available and I thought that would be enough to run the game. I also noticed that this only happens when WiFi is active. Any ideas?

It definitely doesn't happen to be any form of buffering artifacting like at the beginning of watching some netflix movies. Actually, it doesn't happen for me at all in Netflix. I notice it quite frequently on certain movie clips in HQ on Youtube both using the youtube app and running it through the regular m.youtube.com page. I've tried messing with the clockspeed in mock and switching from something like smartassv2 to interactivex to performance...no difference. I have tried it with the mock kernel and the stock MIUI kernel.

The only other place I've noticed it happen is in the GO Weather app. Some of the backgrounds have weird artifacting and stuttering,too.

I was not on stock android 2.2 long enough to notice these issues, though I did make a backup. If it helps, I can restore to my stock backup and try to see if the same issues happen. If that does happen, of course...its the phone and not a coding issue.

So I have an update after digging around more on the issue. It only happens while watching movies/ certain moving backgrounds when the phone is upright...it never happens in widescreen mode. If you start a youtube movie that's a hi-quality movie widescreen, its fine. However, if you start the movie while the phone is upright and either start watching it upright or then move it it to widescreen...weird video artifacting issues.

Has anyone found any working solution to this? I'd like to use wifi at home and work (and I may even put llama back on if it doesnt interfere with deep sleep) rather than 3G. If I can't then I'll live with it. But since I had seen a number of posts, I figured I would ask.

I suppose if you really want the wifi to go into deep sleep when the screen turns off, you could always re-enable the original wifi lockup "fix" that TG put in way back when. Basically, with the "fix" in place, when the screen turns off, the phone shuts down the wifi and goes back to 3g -- essentially the "When screen is off" policy but it works. IF you want to do that, do this:

To re-enable the wifi lockup fix:

open /system/etc/firmware/wlan/qcom_cfg.ini in the text editor
EDIT: change gEnableSuspend=3 to gEnableSuspend=2

You can do this directly on the phone using ES File Explorer (free on market) with the Root Explorer option enabled and the Mount File System option enabled in the Settings so that you can save the changes back to the phone.

And I suppose, if you wanted, you could change the file in the Zip file first before flashing the ROM.

You may need to reboot after making the change for it to really take effect...

It seems to me that when you start watching a stream in one orientation and then switch to a different orientation, the stream needs to re-buffer before the video becomes smooth again. And I think that's what's causing the artifacting that you're describing.

After flashing, it was already set to 3. This was one of the posts I saw early on and I got excited about it, but then it was already in place. I tried changing it to 2 for fun, but no difference there either.

It has been my experience that most stock roms I had messed with dont even play video in portrait mode. MIUI is configured to play in portrait or landscape, but portrait is a bit buggy.

Oops. bad copy and paste. Change it to 2.

And if I'm reading the kernel code correctly, your cpu won't really enter a deep sleep mode until about 30 minutes or so of idle time by default. I was thinking of lowering that number to see if it makes a difference at some point. But that's for another day.

Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with the screen constantly waking for notifications. There are a couple of applications that acquire superuser access every few minutes and the toast for the notification basically makes my screen turn on and off repeatedly ad infinitum. This isn't an issue if I set a short lock time, as it only seems to happen when the screen is off and still unlocked, but I'm generally checking my phone a lot so I tend to use longer lock times.

Baring that, is there a way to turn off the toasts for superuser? I really have no desire to see them constantly popping up anyway. Thanks.

Yeah 2 didn't do anything. I didn't wait 30 minutes though.

Another thing I noticed is that after a while (heh, probably 30 minutes), wifi becomes unresponsive. Nothing crashes, I just cant browse after powering the screen back on with the phone sitting for a while. I have to cycle the wifi to get moving again.

Set your ringtones via the Music app. Applying custom tones in MIUI is known problem for a lot of devices running MIUI.

Thanks a ton isaacj87 big Big BIG fan sad you are leaving... but thanks a million for all the work you have don to my phone... I switched back to stock (just to see if stock had carrier iq installed (it doesn't)) and I hated it glad for all the time you have put into making it a better phone!!

anybody else having trouble with the lock screen stalling for a few seconds and the touch screen being similarly unresponsive for a couple of seconds at a time? i have the 1.11.4 installed.

Update it. ;-]

Seriously though my touch screen feels better than ever on this newest build. Though if the phone is ever unresponsive, Check how much ram you're using. Might not be the touchscreen that is unresponsive.

do you have the factory screen protector still on?

Any way to get calendar items showing on the lookscreen on MIUI? On CM7 the LockscreenCalendar app kind of works...

I sure miss S2U2!!!!

I found the easiest way to do this, is to copy the ringtones locally to the folder under system, called media, then ringtones ( I think this is where they are). Once you put them there, the miui menu will list them all.

i updated and you are right about the responsiveness. now my problem is i am getting a lot of force closes in different apps, but mostly the camera.
i tried wiping dalvik and fixing permissions, but it persists. i dont know what else to do.

when i upload a photo it deletes it off my sdcard......WHY?!

 

[droopies]

Awesome so far! Data speeds are a bit better than stock. I hope Pandora streams on the way to work tomorrow!

One question...in contacts, I accidentally picked the music app to pick ring tones. Now all I can get are my music, my custom ringtones and ring tones I downloaded from the ringtone picker-online. How can I get back and pick stock ring tones for my contacts?

Great! Thanks. But I still am having troubles with ringtones. I only get my default ring tone. No matter what I set individual people to, it get the default ringtone....and they don't seem to automatically repeat. So if the ringtone is beep beep, the phone goes beep beep then the other person hears it ringing 6 or 7 times but I don't hear anything else. Is there something I am overlooking or doing wrong? I've gone thru the settings, but I haven't found anything that fixes it.

I did copy the custom ring tones off my SD card to /system/media/audio/ringtones and they do show up in the default browser ringtone pick list.

Thanks!


...man this is a long post....so I see that this ringtone issue may be a known issue. It is strange. Now I have a couple of people who get a custom ringtone, but it's not looped. It just does its thing one time and that is it. I guess I can loop some of my short rings myself. But my son's custom ring tone doesn't work for some reason...no matter what I pick he gets the default. Well hopefully someone smarter than me will pick it up and make an update.

Has anyone gotten gameloft games working on 11.25 yet?

Is there a way for the Music App to find the regular ring tones? All it lists are mp3's in my music folder. BUT, whatever and whoever I pick with it works fine.

I believe somewhere in the settings for the MIUI player app is something that sets minimum size for files it labels as 'music' - you would probably need to lower the default value, since most ringtones are quite small
