Official Team D1-MIUI-10.29-V6.X Release

[publicanimal]

Considering this is a beta ROM or maybe even alpha still, the point is for us to test it. God quit whining that these developers are working hard to make this ROM available to us in the most bleeding edge form.

Though there is a fine line between simply reporting bugs and whining, you are absolutely right.

The only Bug that I can still notice is that ROM manager still force closes..But besides that everything is Smooth..

seriously? I mean...seriously...even though it is bleeding edge...developers should do testing themselves before putting stuff out...its called quality. Nobody wants to be known as the dev that has low quality procedures in place. Testing is usually done behind the scenes. Bugs can be reported then...and corrected before pushing to all of the users. That is why you have people who tried miui...had probs...and were discouraged from ever trying it again. And what do you think their opinion is of MIUI? (its CRAP). thats what they think even though they dont follow and keep up with updates...and obviously MIUI is NOT crap...its Imho the best rom out for android.

Good points. I spend a bit of time at androidforums.com and Miui is like a running joke over there, no one takes it seriously. That's starting to change lately as the releases get more and more solid, but I agree that a little more behind-the-scenes testing could be done before pushing us the latest versions. This would help raise the profile of Miui outside of this forum (and even within this forum). I'll gladly volunteer to be an alpha/beta-tester if another one is needed.

The most common comment I hear over there is: I tried it once for a couple hours, it was way too buggy for me, totally unusable. So I flashed back to 'insert inferior rom here'.

This is meant purely as constructive criticism.

Did you restore it using Titanium Backup or MyBackup? Try un-installing and then re-installing through the market. For every post that someone has mentioned they are getting RM force closes, there has been a reply from someone for whom it is working perfectly. This leads me to believe that it's not necessarily an issue with the ROM.

How could anyone get pissy about this experience...this is a blast.
Our boys are really pulling this together and it's already terrific. This is quite the effort going into this project...

 

[thexxoffspring]

This rom is awesome. i have no bugs at all. i love it. people need to stop complaining. if they want to complain they should become developers and do this themselves.

 

[corman324]

I did wipe it all the way down to the nubs...a couple times even. And this is my second install so far. I thought it all went well...

Did you restore RM w/ data? I just restored apps w/o data and then went back and added data only for a couple of apps(angry birds-don't want to start over)
RM working great. Maybe uninstall and re-download from market.

tried restoring data for RM & also tried uninstalling, then reinstalling and still have the same fc issue. not really a big deal though.

dont be so negative man. you cant expect devs to be able to duplicate problems and come up with fixes for them, if they dont know what ALL of the problems are in the first place. some people have different problems that others dont, and were all using the same phone. trial and error.. and how bad would it SUCK if they didnt release these beta versions and just released a final and said "we know theres problems but we dont have time or the inclination to fix them all, so youre just gonna have to make-due with what we're giving you..." they're offering US a service by being able to post bugs and possibly get them fixed (and normally they fix the majority of them). i like the way they get released, and it seems like everyone else does too. it allows people to learn as we go along as well..

understandable that some people cant stand having to flash all the time and re-do everything. but the people that dont like it, dont end up using it. but at the end of the day, theres not a ROM that ive seen or heard of that is better looking or smoother than MIUI. and thats due majorly to the feedback givin to the devs by the public.

Ozzie, someone asked you a specific question about your ROM Manager install and you seem to have completely ignored it. Can you please address it so we can put the "ROM Manager still FC's" complaints to bed?

Its def not the ROM by anymeans because I am using it with no issues at all. I've installed Kernels thru it, backed up Rom, Flashed recovery and Sp..Sorry to say but RM is definitely not an issue with 6.2 (At least for me, its not). Not sure why its not working for BD.:icon_eek:

I was just adressing the situation..to help this ROM meet its fullest cabability!!

 

[BlackDiamond]

I have tried to un-install and re-install i will try again with a Re-boot to see if that works..

I agree that his tone is negative, but he makes good points. 6.0 and 6.1 were released and weren't stable enough to be usable. To make matters worse, when I initially mentioned dialer force closes with 6.1 (I was the first to do so), I was told that I was wrong, I had either installed the wrong version or didn't wipe before installing. As more people mentioned the issue, I was validated. Less than 24 hours later, 6.2 hit and it was a breath of fresh air. Now couldn't we all have waited the 24 hours for 6.2 while the testing was done behind the scenes?

Some people who had never used Miui might have flashed one of these earlier versions and given up on Miui forever. You have to see the big picture sometimes and look outside our small community and consider the end user who isn't willing to religiously follow these threads for the latest bug fixes/updates. That user isn't you or I, but there's no reason to think there aren't hundreds of those people out there who have already given up on Miui.

There really is no reason why the release couldn't have been postponed for a day to get most of the kinks ironed out.

Here is what I propose (This is for you Zenulator and MetiCkOne), set up a thread asking people to volunteer to be testers for "alpha" versions of the ROM. Select a handful of people, and don't release a new version until a certain number of these people have already tested it. I for one would gladly volunteer.

I'm sure you guys already have a similar protocol but between v6 and v6.2 it didn't appear to work so well. Again, this is meant only as constructive criticism.

This is funny because if you go to MIUI - Nexus One(HTC G5)-Desire(HTC G7)Ë¢»ú±ØË¢µÄROM ÖйúÔ­´´Android ROM¿ª·¢Ð¡×é you will see this is a beta and they only have a group of people to beta test it... We are lucky to get this rom and also we are pretty much the english version beta testers. there are going to be several more updates for this rom... think about if there's a site dedicated to just that it's going to be worked on awhile... dancedroid

 

[TRIKOTRET]

Rm not working for me either. I can back up but I cant install through it or restore. Get FC's. Im going to start from scratch and wipe everything again
