Finally MIUI!
Now all that is needed for me is to contact Alejadrissimo and get my fastboot enabled! :')
Well,congratualations on getting it to work!
However,it would be nice to have a small introduction to what is MIUI...i personally have no idea what it is ??_??

MIUI is a customized themed version of Android which is in the look of iOS.
Which version of MIUI is it?

I thought looking like iOS was one of the many possibilities, and not what MIUI was?
It is the latest version of MiUI (US Build but GSM only). I think it is 1.8.5

newest MiUI is 1.10.x or something... atleast thats the one post in x10 section
Congratulations on making it work!
It seemed like you wouldn't get too much support but devs finally stepped up and helped make it happen. Good luck on improving it and vanish all those "what doesn't work" lines.

I said that, regardless of how it came up, you deserved credit fit being gutsy and getting to work on it. Now that it appears to work (can't try it ATM) you deserve more credit for delivering. Kudos to you!
Current Progress:
Now onto fixing the WiFi, torch and screenshot capture. I dont know what data is but I also have no data with CM7 FXP41 either, this could be releated because we are using the same kernel (edited a bit) and ramdisk.
Coming in next build:
WiFi
Torch
Screenshot Capture
Custom Bootscreen
UK Version of MIUI (Not the US one, the uk one is more like the real miui and the one you see on most phones.)
Xperia Wallpapers
Data is 3g coverage. It's a deal breaker for many people, so once it's fixed you can safely say you have a stable miui running.
Yeh, I know what data is and this would be like one of the only things left to fix (Most stuff is regarding kernel changes with the code provided.etc). But i also have no APN's or data in CM7 either, so....
Good to hear
I'll just wait till it gets a bit more stable before trying it

Any ideas on how are you going to fix the camera?Camera is very important u kno.
I don't know but they are working on it over in the Ray thread. It is something to do with the fact that because we cant get the source code for MIUI, we have to sort of hack the precompiled camera libary to link it with the kernel we have compiled...

Hello guys, want to have Froyo on your device? i've been testing and amzingly it run on Nike. Although there is a few bug just like the other android for Nike, but at least you can try the FROYO.
Here is what you need to do:
1a. If you haven't try Android before download attached andboot.zip, extract it to your SD card root.
1b. If you already have android build on your device, you can run copy androidinstall you've downloaded to andboot folder than do reinstall your android through haret. Remember to backup before doing anything.
2. Download androidinstall from the original thread Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS13] [8/18/10]
3. Backup! than, clear whatever "android" stuff you have from sdcard (I dont want it to get caught up in the install) especially your andboot folder
4. Extract contents of downloaded zip to temporary directory
5. Copy extracted /andboot folder to the ROOT of your SDCard
6. copy zimage to /andboot folder with this version (credit to mblaster) get in from http://84.23.71.227/kerneloftheday (i'm using zimage with vibration on my nike100 with zimageNike name) or you can use attached one - the newest from mblaster with audio fix (remember to extract the zip ).
7. overwrite default.txt with attached default.txt
8. Run HaRET, than hit “run” to launch android
9. Press and hold center of dpad after hitting "run" and follow the directions in the NoMoRootFs menu system
10. Install android system
11. Quit installer
12. Booting into Android
13. After you can see android logo wait about 15 minute
14. then shutdown and open up your phone again (should boot into winmo)
15. start haret and boot again to android
16. your android is ready to use
Working: Call, sms, ring, data (listed apn)
Not Working: Bluetooth, camera
Bug: Very difficult to receive call (maybe kernel problem???)
LEt us ask dzo (kernel inventor for vogue) to make update for Nike kernel to get all that stuff working
EDIT: thread author change it name, so i'll follow that too
UPDATE: I'm using dzo odex version from androidhtc
Very good post!
Whats wrong exactly with receiving calls?
I dont believe BT/Camera will work on any Android ROM for nike. This problem come from months since the first release, and never. So, or we buy a really android smartphone or we change for vogue
Installing RLS4 + Kernel with vibration 03 June.
EDIT: Now I understand. Receiving calls dont work, its like we have phone turned off. Data connections work (...) Its not fast and ADW Launcher crashs often (or we have to "wait" many times). 2.1 Much faster. Also, screen its very not aligned (sorry, dont know the right word). Many times if I want to press a widget I have to point to the another one on left (annoying using keyboard). Still the same issue with hardware button 1. Three times pressing this key, and my screen goes black. Sometimes, I have ADW Launcher, go to setting, go back, and then I have laucher PRO.
Its a cool ROM, but I think useless for now. Lets hope anyone can solve the problems.
Thank you.
yes, useless if our phone can't receive call, so we'll have to waiting for that, hope someone can solve it?
just contact dzo, he don't have time for maintaining a kernel for Nike. he want someone else to do that.
do you know someone who have some knowledge in C and a linux box to compile the kernel?

I know a lot of people, but no one with a nike. I know some C and linux, but I never programmed a kernel, however I can take a look. Where is the source code? Just found for vogue.

Check my kernel thread. You will find the diffs (basically text files that show changes in source) to the vogue kernel source on my download page.
yes, maxxxd01 please co-operate with mblaster, both of you is our hope for nike kernel. at least for now. thanks. keep up good work.
new zimage from mblaster works for audio, and no touch screen problems on mine, receiving call is also working for me using froyo - at least for now , still testing it -
here is what i did:
1. update newest kernel using mblaster kernel with audio bug free from new zimage from mblaster works for audio, and no touch screen problems on mine, receiving call is also working for me using froyo - at least for now , still testing it -
here is what i did:
1. update newest kernel using mblaster kernel with audio bug free from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7021840&postcount=3
2. using phone prioritizer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558822
maybe you guyz can try it
OK, I know it is the third time I am posting this, but I don't want you to miss this...
Kernel service up again with audio patch included. Hope verything works now. Niki100 version is also patched now, touchscreen problems seem to be vibration related on niki100 (thats why there is a vibration free version especially for theat phone).
http://84.23.71.227/kerneloftheday/
PS: Let me know if everything is fine now.
looks like this newest build doesn't need any phone prioritizer anymore, it just ring as it should be, so no more receiving call lag.

I dont think I can help, mblaster works much faster
I'm confused, receiving calls problem solved. But, for kernel with or without vib?
I did not fix the call recieve bug, but I suspect it not to be in the kernel anyway. Android has a very greedy memory management, which tends to kill the phone app from time to time. On my G1 I have similar problems with some ROMs.
Perhaps it was just fixed in R5 of the ROM?
BTW: Any help is appreciated
Booting Froyo on my nike for the first time. Nice CM5 Bootanimation
wow, that mean receiving call problem is related to ROM, should thank dzo for that,
mblaster, yesterday i try to use newest kernel but it seems like sometimes it makes my touch screen not responding (i'm using zimage with vibration), then i revert back to zimage_audiotest, and still haven't find the same bug. anything wrong?
about the audio, it seems like a little larger, maybe can lower it a little thanks.
now yeah! I'm getting anxious, why now in an android niki100 (20 keys) is not just a toy is almost functional.
God bless you Mblaster, dzo you are almost there !!!!!
Vibration and camera are not so important for now, at least for me .. like the headphones because I walk a lot, but I will not ask more for it.
I think that Froio is more functional, but it seems late in the touch screen sometimes, or locking out of memory, not sure, but one question, where do I set the swap Froio? seems to me that with the eclair made work faster, Froio am running with EXT2.
Thanks!
Hey guys. I'm trying to use Android on my HTC Touch Dual.
It runs ok, and it is fast now using the froyo. But I got a problem that I don't understand...
I boot up on Android and I have sound. I then make a call and I can hear it well... I end that call and after that I can't get anymore sounds from the system... If I make a new call I can't hear anything from the other side...
Please help....
Could it be the radio version I'm using!?
Thanks.
I ask, the system did not contain Chinese, where I can download it?

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry about asking this but I need to HardSPL my device to do that?
I saw a post saying this:
"Note: The USPL is not a "HardSPL" which means it gets overwritten when you flash a full ROM. You have to run the SSPL if you want to flash any ROM again.
The HardSPL is never overwritten which in case of flashing trouble is a great insurance. Should you want to flash another SPL or USPL you must run the SSPL."
Can I use the SSPL method instead? It seem's less dangerous...
I've never did this so sorry about the question.
Thanks man.
do you never flash custom ROM to your Nike?if you never flash you should read the tutorial in the sticky before doing anything further to prevent error on your nike. there are a lot of tutorial to doing that
Ok. Thanks a lot.
I already flash other devices but not this one... anyway I will read the tutorials.
EDIT: Thanks a lot youngsien. I already flashed the Radio you indicated and now I can make calls ok in android.
Xda Rulez!!

This is MIUI for the Droid 2 Global. You will need to be on Gingerbread .606 or .607 before installing any build after 1.9.16!
Currently everything is working except the alt lock key. Bluetooth should be working now too (please let me know if it is/isnt)
It is highly advised to have your phone activated before installing this rom
Get the update from MIUI.US' download page
http://roms..miui.us
(Mirror)
http://roms.miui.us/...e=cdma_droid2we This is a direct link to the rom on MIUI
Droid 2 Global 1.10.21
http://www.multiupload.com/GUZ75UEDX8 (Test rom with Bluetooth working and updated init (less sticky settings))
Changelog:
Updated to 1.10.21
FINALLY Switched to Defy Base
Updated to Android 2.3.7
Included governors and scripts from Droid X Chat
Included Bootmenu
Brought in changes over 1.9.16.1 (Any GSM tweaks you guys were using before should still work)
Includes MIUI Control now
Speed increase
Included smartass governor and others
Note: The 2 usb icon's is not an issue, it is due to the new usb toggle
Notes2: Over the next few releases I will be doing a freeze on adding new features and trying to get Bluetooth to work and fix some other small issues
Notes 3: You will most likely need to wipe data and cache for this update due to our base switch! (should be the last switch in a long time!)
Notes4: The phone is underclocked to 1 Ghz by default! Go into the boot menu and set the voltage and cpu speeds you desire. you can also set the governor to use here too!
To get to the boot menu press volume down when you see a blue light come on at boot!
http://www.multiupload.com/CO1B24CE4U (1.10.21 GB)
http://www.mediafire...7xkg88bx99wod1y MIUI4D2G V 5.0 (froyo)
http://www.mediafire...aexgk9sercps8qn Overlay I am using incase I ever quit (for reference) (5.0 Froyo overlay, DO NOT USE FOR NORMAL INSTALLS OF MIUI, THIS IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY)
Note: If you try to switch network versions you will need to erase /system/ /data/ and /cache/ and then install whatever version you want. It caches whatever mode you are in and that will cause problems if you do not follow the method listed above.
You can use recovery! Go to the rom manager and in there install droid x (2nd init) and then it should work! That is apparently the only way to get there.
Dont forget to clear data and cache after installing or else you WILL have a bootloop
Donations are MUCH appreciated!
http://forum.xda-dev...e.php?u=1894713 ( I simply copied my XDA donate link)
Thanks go out to CVPS,Framework43, Revnumbers, Gasai Yuno, Asphyx, x13thangelx, Bikerdude and the rest of the CM4D2G team!
Thanks also go out to the person who made the MIUI honeycomb theme that is used in V5 as default!
HUGE thanks to Droid X Chat for the work I borrowed from him! (bootmenu, user init's, etc.)
Reserved
Also, please donate if you think my ports have made your phone a better device! Not asking out of greed but because I have spent so much time on this rom (quite literally if I quantified it, I would have almost a months worth of workdays in it)
i have been meaning to try this rom out. how well does it work.
i am on a .608 update would it still work with my phone?
awesome rom. i like it way better then other ones i have had on my phone.
Works pretty well. Only bugs are BT, a couple sticky settings and alt lock key. The BT and a few more sticky settings will be fixed this upcoming update (likely around sunday or monday). I hit the same performance of around CM. Slightly lower because MIUI is a heavier rom but it is faster than Blur. It gets slightly less battery than blur but better than CM.
Despite repeated efforts .. when I flash rom it boots to white motorolla
icon and never goes past. Sbf. 607. Wiped cache factory reset before and after flash

You hit the nail on the head! You need to be on gingerbread at first. With the updated band unlock that exists on rootzwiki you don't need to be on froyo for anything at all anymore. Also I updated the OP with an updated 1.10.21 with working Bluetooth and fewer sticky settings
ALT lock dosnt work on. it isnt big problem but its a bug .
Everything else work well for now.
I like MIUI, but I have GPRS and bluetooth problems on this rom, so I keep waiting for the new release.

UPDATE - Do not bother with these instructions. They do not work as intended. Too many different results.
Unlocked R800X - run Sony ICS stock beta as a daily driver on your R800X - the easy way
This is purposed for the stock R800i rom to run on the R800X. Since the information is somewhat scattered in the threads I thought I would bundle it with instructions to help other R800X owners that want to use a completely stock rom with root. This assumes you have an unlocked R800x and know how to get fastboot working. Everything seems to work except MMS.
First a disclaimer...
-I did not create anything here so credit truly goes to Doomlord, Chevyowner, Sony, Google and anyone that contributes to XDA
-This is intended for informational purposes only. Although I hope it works for you, I really dont care if your phone goes up in smoke so use at your own risk.
Now lets have fun!
1) I gathered all the files you will need from XDA and Sony for this:
2) Extract the contents of the above file to c:\ICS using winrar
3) Copy all the *.zip files from the above folder to your phone's SD card
4) Boot device into fastboot mode. With the device off, hold the magnify glass button while connecting the usb cord. If all goes well you see a blue led. If not search forum about your fastboot problems.
5) Flash doomlord's ics beta kernel via fastboot. (this is so we can install from zip and also roots the new rom)
fastboot flash boot c:\ics\doom-ics.img
6) Boot to CWM - keep pressing the magnify glass button right after powering on the device
7) Wipe cache, data, dalvik cache and reboot
8) Boot device to fastboot again
9) Flash sony beta rom files (takes a while so be patient)
fastboot flash system c:\ics\system.img
fastboot flash userdata c:\ics\userdata.img
10) Boot to CWM - keep pressing the magnify glass button right after powering on the device
11) 'Install from zip' all the zip files you copied to your device earlier. Including gapps, doomlords ics boot animation, and cdma
12) Flash stock kernal (fix wifi without loading modules)
fastboot flash boot c:\ics\boot.img
13) To get cell data working - go to settings, xperia, internet settings and click accept
Hope this helps someone. Good luck!
Followed the steps on my R800x, boots, wifi works and runs pretty smooth. Phone crashes after I hit the call button. SMS appears to work, MMS doesn't, even after adding the Verzion APN in settings.
Going to Settings>Xperia>Internet Settings doesn't appear to do anything after hitting apply, mobile data isn't working and calls crash. Haven't tested any games yet though. Are there any steps I might have missed?
Edit: Even though the phone force closes, the call connects and the other party can hear my voice, but there's no way to hang up or any indication that there's a call going on. The Wifi indicator flashes on and off until the phone is rebooted or the call is dropped.

Sorry there is trouble.
Again all I did here was attempt to bundle everything that's already available to make it easier. I assumed what I did would work for everyone.
Since I wrote the instructions from memory I should go through them again to see if I missed a step.
My data works fine as well as 3g notification.
My phone app does occasionally get that error but calls and hangs up ok.
Personally I prefer the stock kernel and stock wifi modules because I get way better battery life in standby. Other roms/kernels I was only getting 5 hours and with ics beta with stock kernel I get over 24 hours.
Do you think baseband versions matter here causing different device behavior for data and phone issues?
Please help me, i'm on step 6 and having an impossible time booting to CWM, and am now stuck in a bootloop since flashing doomkernal

Instead of flashing DooMLorD's ICS kernel in step 5, try flashing the three .img files from the official beta, then try this in fastboot mode. It will boot you to recovery instead of flashing it, where you can flash all the .zip files in step 11 onwards. No need to do step 12.

The facts about the Sony ICS Beta and the R800x are simply these:
Sometimes, some people, for some UNKNOWN reason, will manage to get everything working almost perfectly. At one point, I had working calls and data, downloaded and installed apps over 3G, the works. Then I booted into recovery and made a backup, thinking to share a working Nandroid...
Well, guess what? Not only did it not work for anyone else, it stopped working for me too. I have tried everything to recreate my former success, with -ZERO- success.
At this point, to my knowledge, NO ONE has found a way to make calls AND 3g data work at the same time, as one would expect it to, in any repeatable manner. Maybe calls, sort of; maybe 3G data for browsing, but not for downloading from the market; rarely both at the same time, and never what one would call a daily driver.
In short, right now, the closest thing we R800x users have to a usable ICS is CyanogenMod 9 by FXP and further modified by paxChristos, AGraceful and others. It's something to bide our time with until one of these genius kids on here finally figures it out. As for Verizon and Sony go, it will probably be a long time coming, if ever, regardless of projected release dates to the contrary.
Having said all that... I think I might wipe my phone and try it all again today!
netizenmt... I agree. I have tried going back & forth between GB and ICS and as much as I love the look and feel of ICS at this point I cant use it beyond just playing around with it as CDMA and 3G are not working. For me I have to have this. I dont mind testing a ROM and or a CDMA patch but for me to have no calls at minimum I cant go without. I watch this threa daily and hope that a Super Genius will find a solution. Becuase I know 2 things. When Sony releases the ICS rom for our PLAYS it will NOT be for Verizon users as Verizon would need to release the ICS version or at least a CDMA but the chances of that happening.. I have a better chance of being the next leader of Middle Earth (yes L of the Rings pun) before Verizon gives a monley butt about our phone. I do work next to a corporate office for Verizon and I do have friends that work there but they are not high enough on the food chain to make a mouse squeek. All in all we R800x users are at the whims of the awesome devs here. And for their efforts I salute you..... the CDMA patch may have us at the moment but I know given time something will happen. Keep positive peeps.

Don't waste your time on this any longer. Although I swear I had 3g at one time I have been unable to replicate. I get too many different results. Updated first post to discontinue this thread. Thanks!

Yes, it is both extremely puzzling and annoying how it works for one person one way, another way for someone else, then it quits working... it's like something "intelligent" is in there messing it up for us... That sounds so paranoid, but I don't know how to explain it otherwise.

Hey how do we change it back to English in this ROM? And what do you mean by "Theme" is not working perfect? It is working partly or are there any bugs!
Thanks

It works partly.
This is sweet, good job!!
I followed instructions to the letter. Seemed to flash fine but it is now sitting at the black Samsung screen screen for about 20 minutes. How long has it taken for 1st boot? Tried re-flashing, clearing cache, etc.
change your kernel to rj's kernel and flash again.
rj's kernel says it is for International SGP not US. My SGP is US so I am not sure if this kernel will work.

Dont install . rj's kernel is for only INTL devices . Sorry i think your device is INTL and replied.
could you make a port for the 4 inch sgp?
I have the same problem as tsg2513, it sits at the Samsung logo and does nothing. I have a USA SGP5.0 and I flashed entropy's kernel right before I flashed the MIUI.

figured it out. i have a USA device as well and had the same issue. It was also strange as to why the flashing process only took like 5 seconds....
i flashed rj's kernel (so my buttons stopped working) then i restarted recovery just so the changes get applied. then i proceeded to flash miui. just make sure in the install options you selection USA keyboard patch and the install process should take much longer (that means its working) and bam.
EDIT: ok so the buttons light up but they still don't work. after booting to miui and sat at the homescreen for a minute or two, reboot and flash entropy's kernel.

Are you saying that after you re-flashed entropy's kernel the buttons work? Also, have you checked to see if the GPS works?
i flashed entropy's kernel after miui successfully boot up in order to get my buttons to work again, so yes

Great! Can you please check if GPS works?
Google Maps works, just cant get a lock on Navigation. also, just discovered that the launcher restarts whenever you try to turn on usb storage with your cable plugged in...preventing you from accessing your files on your computer

Yeah, I just flashed it a little while ago. Everything looks really good expect for a few small problems (as you mention) which I can live with but I really need the GPS to work to consider this my dailer driver. Here's to hoping someone can get it fixed.

Anyone know how to get the GPS working?
So after a couple of hours searching the web, it may be that the GPS problem is inherent in MIUI 2.3.

Wow Los has finally arrived for the Jewel but my Jewel is no longer with me
I can't seems to use external sdcard as internal there's simply no option to do it while formatting. Other then this it's pretty snappy thanks again.

Thanks for testing! Try the new Nougat build—I wasn't able to move apps onto the SD card (that is a LineageOS bug), but I was able to format it as internal storage.
I couldn't install the latest build 14.1 well just keeps bootlooping at the HTC screen.
Wipe
Install latest build
Install Gapps 7.1 (tried without installing this also) still no go ?

There appears to be an error in the build. I will upload a new build within a day.
Edit: New build has been uploaded! Please report if it works.
Never thought my Jewel would ever see Nougat (let alone Lollipop or Marshmallow). Just flashed and all is working well so far. Awesome work!
God tier work here, I'm blown away. I misplaced my Moto G 3rd gen somewhere in my apartment, so I've given up and dusted off my Evo. I was set to just use the Viper 4.1.1 that was on there, but some apps weren't installing so I came on ol' XDA. This is much more than I expected, thank you.
With that said, any tips on getting this to activate on Sprint / Ting? It was working fine on the old rom, but not kicking in here.
I know this isn't totally related to this ROM, but maybe it can be. I'm having issue with this (and most other ROMs I try) where the per button works physically, but only the buttons light up. I have to press the power button several times to get the screen to wake. This isn't consistent though. Seems worse if the screen has been off for a while. Does anyone know of a fix, and if so, can it be incorporated into this ROM? I know there have other threads about this but it seems like they have been dropped.

I believe that the service must be activated on a stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM. Then, the correct APN has to be set according to the carrier under Settings > More > Cellular networks > Access Point Names.

I am not sure of a fix, and I have not encountered this issue, but have you tried enabling Wake device using the Camera button under Settings > Buttons?

I've tried that in the past. Forgot about it this time around. Tried it again and it seems to be about the same as the actual power button for getting the screen to come on correctly.
Good ol' Jewel. Is this rom working ok?
My wife is temporarily using my old Jewel because she dropped & broke her crappy samsung phone. can someone please tell me how this rom is working?
I appreciate your time!

The ROM is working fine for the most part. The battery is not great, but that may be due to the battery's age. Additionally, there is a bug with BoringSSL that sometimes prevents the Play Store or Gmail from working temporarily.
sounds good. yeah, I'm sure it's age. thanks man. take care-
Trouble with WiFi
Did a Full factory reset, installed rom, gapps, and supersu from TWRP, factory wipe again from TWRP; now the OS is installed and running but after connecting to my home network, says no internet access although the netork is up and running normally, all other devices connected. Any thoughts or suggestions. I have a backup of my previous state, so I can revert, but would like to keep this on 7.1 for consistency between this and my primary device. The primary use for this device is media streaming.

I believe that the WiFi issue have been fixed in the latest build (20170522).
Thank you for this rom!
I had been using cyanogenmod 5.0 and dirtyunicorns 5.1 both were solid roms. Unfortunately the latest apps seem to run a bit slow on them. I thought it was the device but after installing this rom everything is snappy! It manages 1gig of ram better than any other rom and that 1.5ghz dualcore still runs strong. Snapchat is way more responsive on this rom, instagram and fb run without problems. GPS, 4g, sms, wifi, camera, sd storage, everything works! I've only noticed a few bugs. The wifi activity arrows don't show when something is downloading/uploading but wifi itself does work. Also, even tho I have working active cell service, it tries to activate itself again everytime I reboot and fails but calls-sms-data continue to work lol. The biggest bug is that auto-rotation stops working after 30-60 minutes and it stays stuck on portrait mode. Nothing but a full reboot will get it working again, a quick softboot won't fix it. I've tried changing the rotation settings and also added some lines to the build.prop but no solution thus far. I love this rom so much, if it's not fixed I might try some auto rotation apps. One last thing, it would be cool if the # in the status bar would go away after I close whatever app has root. The previous rom I had did that. Thank you so much to all the developers for bringing life to this phone!

Thanks for trying out the ROM! The WiFi activity arrows are intentionally disable on LineageOS. I do not currently have an active cell service on this device, so I am unable to fix the activation bug for now. Could you flash the patch below in recovery and test if autorotation is working properly? It should also enable the option to hide the Superuser icon under "Status bar" > "System icons".
