Droid 2 Miui install/bug/questions&answers thread.

Anyone else having horrible battery life with this ROM? I love the ROM but Im losing about 10% of battery per half an hour.

I haven't seen anything that bad...open the Monitor app and turn off data monitoring, that's supposed to help.

Get the Battery Calibration app (free in market) and follow its instructions to calibrate your battery now that you've changed ROMs.

The Froyo-CM7-based ROMs (the new Liquid, CM4D2, MIUI) don't have as good battery life as the GB ROMs based on the GB kernel...I've heard the .29 release of MIUI (which we don't have for the D2 yet) improves battery life, but haven't seen it yet myself of course.

For best battery life, go w/a GB-kernel based ROM like Apex or Zombie Stomped, etc.

If you like the UI/customizations in the CM4D2/MIUI/Liquid ROMs that are based on the Froyo kernel and CM, you're likely going to trade off battery life (at least for now, until further improvements occur in those ROMs). The amount of that trade-off varies...some people claim very good battery life on them, others not so much.

OK is there away to clear all the Apps of my homescreens or do I have to use an app like LauncherPro (which I have the plus version of) and set up things manually so to speak.

 

[hockeyhead019]

well since miui has no drawer if you delete the apps from the desktop you will remove them from the system... i use alt drawer which has an icon you can drag into the launcher and make it look like launcherpro... be careful with using the alternate launchers because i've seen a lot of FC's with them so you might wanna give alt drawer a shot

Ok need help again. Got miui.us installed and have no clue how to use it. Anyone got a like to a guide?

i love miui but out of the three froyo based roms, liquid has been the best with battery life so i think im going to head back to that since .29 doesnt look like its going to be out before the next weekly release

So I downloaded a new bootanimation and set it in theme manager and it doesn't change. Any ideas. That and how do you change the launch program on the lockscreen. I want to change the broser launcher to dolphin browser can that be done. Thanks guys

Not animations currently do not work from the theme manager. As for the other question, I'm sure you could find a guide of some kind to help you with changing the program. You couldn't just change what program it launches in the settings though, you would have to take the theme .mtz file and edit it.
