MIUI.us-Sholes-1.12.9
Development Build


This build is MOSTLY STABLE BUT IN DEVELOPMENT

This build was ported to the droid by MagiMan7 and TP4Bama, translations to english were done by MIUI.us

All of the MIUI.us build are now available on Rom Manager under MIUI.us which will allow automatic notification of future builds


Follow us on twitter for real time updates!
@magiman7 / @tp4bama

If this is your first time trying MIUI, read the MIUI Manual (credit The Batman) to become familiar with the interface and many of the hidden options.

Code:
#include <std-disclaimer>

/*Anything you do to your phone is solely your responsibilty, you choose
 to modify your phone. This rom has been marked BETA by the developer,
 however should anything happen to your phone neither of the developers
 "MagiMan7 and/or Tp4bama" nor MIUI.us nor MIUI.com developers are liable 
 in anyway.*/

COMMON ISSUES
  1. Facebook app will sync ALL contacts
  2. Instead of *228 call *228+ (hold 0 for + sign)
  3. If you have having launcher force closes, switch back to the stock theme to verify the theme is not causing the issue.
  4. If apps do not show up after initial flash, rebooting should make them reappear
  5. If you use Google to back up your contacts, restoring contacts with Miui Backup could result in duplicate entries
  6. Using Titanium Backup to backup and restore apps/data has reportedly caused FCs with certain apps
  7. [DO NOT TRY TO RESTORE SYSTEM DATA FROM ANY ROM INCLUDING MIUI BELOW 1.4.8!!!!!!! or you will get force closes...]
  8. If you cannot move apps to sdcard, uninstall app and reinstall from market
  9. If you have issues downloading anything, run Downloads app and cycle download with wifi
  10. If you cannot download / install apps from market, make sure you have "ROOT Permission" set to ON under SuperUser Settings.
  11. If you get permission denied, root not found, or similar errors, make sure you have "ROOT Permission" set to ON under SuperUser Settings

Themes available HERE

Themers: Excellent guide on creating MIUI themes HERE

CRON OPTIONS
The set of cron tasks is editable in the /data/cron/root file. The root file lists all of the commands scheduled to run and the scheduled time. The file can be edited to add tasks or change the preset ones of flushing caches. All tasks in this file will be run as root (superuser privileges). The default cron tasks has a command commented out to cause the phone to do a soft reboot everyday at 2:45 am. This may help keep phone feeling snappy each morning. Remove '#' to have this run everyday

LOCKAPP / UNLOCKAPP INFO
Run lockapp script in terminal or from gscript. Both scripts are located in /system/xbin. Both scripts take a single argument, the process name. For example the Miui Music player has the process name com.miui.player. You can find process names for most installed apps under /data/app (just drop the -1.apk from the name listing).

To lock an app in memory you run lockapp PROCESS. For example, to lock the Miui Music player into memory, run 'lockapp com.miui.player' As a warning, Do not lock more than 1 app in memory. To lock an app in memory, the app has to be running. If the process is not running, the script will inform you.

Once an app is locked into memory, the only way to remove it from memory is to kill the process. The unlockapp does extactly that. It is run with the same arguement, unlockapp PROCESS. If you wanted to unlock the Miui Music player from memory, run 'unlockapp com.miui.player' This will kill the app you are unlocking from memory. If you want it to run the background unlocked, you will have to re-run the app.

A2SD+ INFO
Once you have your sdcard formated for a2sd (Create a 2nd partition of type ext3 using Rom Manger or favorite patition manager), you can run command a2sd from terminal to setup a2sd+. Running 'a2sd help' will give a list of options available. Running 'a2sd install' will move all apps from /data to sdcard. Running 'a2sd datasd' will copy apps as well as their settings / configurations (/data/data) to sdcard.

SWAP OPTIONS
There is an included script called swap located in /system/bin you can run from terminal, adb shell, or gscript. The script takes a single arguement defining what type of swap setup you want. Options are file, compcache, both, none. The script will immediately initiate the swap system chosen as well as update boot up and cron files to keep the selection permenent. So whatever you select will persist after a reboot. To run the command, just enter 'swap OPTION'. So if you want to switch from no swap (default on new instal) to swap file, type 'swap file' and everything is adjusted for you. The swap option will be kept after updateing assuming data is not wiped. If data is wiped, it will default back to none.

VIRTUOUS OVERCLOCK
The virtuous overclock daemon will auto run as long as no SetCPU type apps are installed. The OC daemon will auto underclock the CPU when the screen is off. The daemon repsonds quicker to screen on/off changes than 3rd party apps. Options for daemon can be changed with included app (which can be uninstalled if you don't want to use).

Yeah, Its very sad to see the old faithful fade away. My D1 can't handle miui or any GB rom anymore. Just reliving the old days reflashing all the froyo goodness. Can't wait for February to upgrade.

Thanks Magiman for all your hard work.

I was running this for months up until the last few builds. Was having random issues like sd card not reading music properly. Gonna give this build a try though. As I've said before and will say again... appreciate the time you put into this magiman.

Have been running this build since last night...last 4 or 5 builds have been very solid/stable for me. This one feels snappier...and I haven't checked the changes yet, but this versions miui browser is quite good (I have finally dumped Dolphin).

I am due for an upgrade tomorrow and am a bit torn...I don't like the form factor of any of the new phones. I know this is off topic, but does anyone else find the new phones obnoxiously big? The D1 and iPhones are basically the same size...imo perfect for tote'n around in a pocket.

What do you think the odds are of a smaller Droid being produced?

Droid 4 is basically a razr with a slide out qwerty so its not likely they will go smaller.

I read over at miui.us that ics is coming soon. With cm dropping d1 from development to ics will mean the end of a dynasty for d1 and miui.

I've sbf'd back to froyo and running pe4.2 in the hopes it will carry me far enough to get my gnex
