MIUI.us-1.6.3.0

[qkpony]

Has anyone else been getting horrible battery life with the last 2 Miui releases ? I have deleted battery stats, followed Zeppinlox battery calibration tutorial, let it run down and recharge fully and wipe battery stats. I took my phone off the charger last night at 5pm or so and went to work. The phone sat on my desk idling and by midnight it was down to 50%. When I check the battery usage it says android os 45% . This happens whether on the stock kernel or Chevy's kernels, and when I flashed Chevy's 5.4 rom using the same kernel my battery life was awesome. Same setup , same apps, just much different results.

Just curious what else I can try to do to see how I can improve my battery life. I don't run widgets, Wifi is on at home , otherwise 3g . Only thought I had was maybe a theme, but I have had same results with 3 different themes and pretty sure it does it with stock theme as well.

P.S. finally started using phone and it dropped to 20 % in 20 mins.

my phone is dead when I wake up. From near full charge. Last two releases

My phone will still not work after first reboot of 1.6.3. I've tried it four times, wiped everything everytime and even tried two kernels. Something has to be wrong with this build or my phone. 1.5.20 works, but performance with it wasn't that great for me. CM7 works fine. I was having amazing results with using the build before 1.5.20, regretted updating to that, wanted a change and hopefully better performance and hoped 1.6.3 would solve my problems. No luck. Am I the only one whose phone just hates 1.6.3 and can't reboot into MIUI after first install?

^so you're getting bootloops after flashuing this version?

are you flashing multiple zip files at once; meaning flashing ROM, then kernel, then ERI mod or something like that?

^have you tried RZRecovery? its a revamped version of SPR with way more features

Hi Chevy
Having replaced SPR with RZRecovery, will I be still able to use ROM Manager, or it means I will be rebooting into recovery every time for flashing new ROM etc.?
Thanks.

Well after a bit of testing I don't know what to do. I might flash back to the previous version only because of some random and un-explainable issues.

The rom seems to be running very well, with only a few little odd things that dont bother me because they are only time to time. However, I had 3 times so far on a reboot my phone getting stuck at the M. Luckly after some random stuff it rebooted fine each time, but still that's no good. Also twice I had it randomly reboot and get stuck... once it went into bootloader for no reason and heated up like a mo-fo...

Great ROM, but I might flash back cause I didn't have many issues on the last version.

ROM manager is only compatible with CWR. you can use ROM Manager, but you will find many of its features are greyed out and non selectable

The first three times the only thing I flashed was the ROM. I don't ever flash themes and haven't been using other kernels with MIUI.

The 4th time I installed Deprimed after the MIUI zip and it booted the first time. Rebooted a few hours later to activate the PIN lock settings and again, stuck on the M screen the same as the first three times.

1.5.20 backup still works, not sure what else to do at this point.

Thanks for this Chevy.
The only one feature i was using on ROM manager is flashing new ROMs.
So now, if i replaced SPR with RZRecovery, i will be rebooting into recovery and from there i will be flashing new ROM. is it right?

 

[chewy74]

yes. if you flashed the RZrecovery zip like you do ROMs, then you should boot into RZRecovery now. if you go into RaidZero's section and recovery thread he has a ton of screen shots of RZRecovery you can look at to fimilarize yourself before flashing

i would suggest doing that first because you seem a little skittish about it

btw, names chewy not chevy

oh, one more question....is this builds camera.apk the same version as the one from 1.5.27? this verision freezes on me after every picture i take and locks up my whole phone.

I do not know why that is happening. I don't receive many (or any really) txt w/ pics in them. I will try to test this and see what my phone does. I was planning to test this earlier and just got side tracked. I haven't heard any other reports of this happening ???

I have been grabbing the camera from the latest CM7 nightly when I make the build, but I believe the build bot was still down when I released 1.6.3, so it was the same CM7 build 85 as 1.5.27. I haven't take many pics on my camera, but haven't had it freeze while taking one that I remember.

since i didnt see a reply to any of the people posting about the M logo getting stuck after the first reboot, i'll ask about it too. the first time it happened i had flashed the rom then the eri mod before rebooting. then i did a cache/data wipe then reinstalled only flashing the rom and nothing else. same result both ways: stuck on M logo after first reboot and each reboot after. i only let it sit on the M logo screen twice before wiping each time and after the second wipe i went back to 5.27. its slower so i really want to put the 6.3 build back but not until i have a fix for this. anyone have a reliable fix and/or an explaination for this issue?

also which kernels are working well with this build? i mightve missed the specific kernel name when others have asked but i didnt see replies to that either.

hopefully next weeks build will fix some of these issues but overall each week is better than the last and i really appreciate the devs as well as everyone on these forums. its really a unique community and its fun just to read the posts. thanks again

Yup many have experienced bootloops after reboots. Can't wait for 6.10, can't stand not having the latest build up and running. I also agree we have an awesome miui community here, second to none.
