[Q] MIUI Experience - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed MIUI ICS 1.11.9 on my SGS2 and it's quite awesome. Just a few doubts. Firstly what's the difference, other than the framework, btw the stable 2.10.21 and the ICS 1.11.9? I used both and found absolutely no diff other then the strength of the haptic feedback. lol.
Also any feedback on this ROM, your experiences are welcome and I love to know any tip n tricks.
I am currently on the stock kernel that came with the ROM, could someone suggest a better kernel for speed and battery life. I've seen a lot of ppl use Siyah but it seems a little complicated. I loved speedmod but I hear it won't work with CM& or MIUI..
Finally, all apps have and option to run in compatibility mode, which is on by default. Should I leave it this way or turn this off?

MIUI is great, however, I didn't like the part where it doesn't allow you to use multiple phone books with multiple gmail accounts.
You can feel free to use any kernel that works with Cyanogenmod 7. I however recommend the default kernel. As for battery, you can use Juice Defender or something similar, works wonders.

LED Notifications issue!
I can't seem to get LED pulse notifications to work on Galnet MIUI ICS 1.11.9 or stable 2.10.21? Can someone help me out here?

The 'stable' galnet ones have all the Galnet fixes, optimizations and speedtweaks, installed. The weekly release has only some minor speed improvements.

For me it´s miniCM2.0.1 2.3.4
The only problem still Camera just take pictures in vga mode
for me i cannot also read QR codes because no autofocus :-(
Next time post on general discussion...this room is for rom development try to keep it clean ty
Sent from my E10
I test all of the roms,
miniCM7 2.0.1 with 2.3.4rom is the best for use
all of the other 2.3.4rom have the Camera problem too--vga mode only
But i like the home semc,wich with Stock Corner style。
Hope miniCM7 2.3.4ROM will suppot it.
Like 2.0.1 MiniCM
You know guys, I am using MiniCM7 I dont mind about camera, but if you care a lot about things not running in this ROM or any other in development, you should go for WaterBeARC X v1.0 is a really good one cuz is based in a SE release (ROM).
From what i've seen, all other roms are practically customized versions of minicm7 built on 2.0.1. So there's not much significant difference like in performance or drivers. It's only up to your preferences, which apps you want pre-installed, if you use corner style or your own launcher... I personally don't use 2.3.4, because there are way too many bugs compared to 2.2.1... & I'm not a tester kind of guy - i like to use the full potential of a device, not test & report bugs But what i liked about minicm7 is that you can register & receive notifications about new versions & updates. This is quite good when there are still bugs waiting to get fixed, so immediately after new release, you're notified. I don't know if this feature is also present in other roms.
im currently using srom 2.3.3v1 which is a cyanogen based rom, i think its pretty stable minus the bugs of course.Its got a brilliant user interface though you will have to download some of the apps from market,i gladly recommend it to anyone who has a mini...i hear the v2 will be out soon..cant wait!!!

WaterBeArc is android 2.1, the title of this thread is best 2.3.4
Of course WaterBeArc is stable, it's just stock 2.1 with BlackHtc theme and some stuff like xrecovery and jit
Minicm 7 has been very stable for me, only one reboot in by 3 weeks of usage.

Come closer, I wanna tell you a secret...good, now listen: He was actually more helpful to the topic than you, bro.
And btw, it's not just stability, 2.1 is also fast & has the best battery life. People at SE know what they're doing. You still use in 2.3.4 drivers ported from stock 2.1 & devs are now debugging them to work at least that good as they did in 2.1. As I said, nAa did a pretty good job with miniCM6, but miniCM7 is missing a lot for me so far: camera resolution, auto-focus, can't select cyanogedmod notification power button for flashlight (in 2.2.1 i can, i don't know why) & sensors are sometimes acting weird in apps like compass or metal detector. But definitely from 2.3.4 roms i would use miniCM7, because until now it's been miniCM that's been innovating & other roms were just following the miniCM & tuning it, i think this trend will stay.

MIUI vs Other Roms

There are so many GB roms out there now. What's the difference between miui and say Simply Honey? I've only ever used that and Simply Stock. Is one better than the other as far as performance or is it more visual? Thanks!
Simply Stock 2.3.5 JVS w/ 1.2 Talon Kernel. Badass Rom \m/
Miui is mostly visual it is an overhaul of android ui its also fast but i multitasking menu is slow to start when playing games but it is cool also its smooth over all battery is avrage to bad 8-12 hrs in my experience an other gb roms is samsung roms on steriods an battery is great 12-20 for me froyo like 14-24 an its regular android with twiz on top of it an the browser is lag free on jvs an jvr roms an i prefer sammy gingerbread because its better over all

If I may explain in a slightly less feverish run-on-sentencey way than Jason, MIUI is built from the ground up, while most other Gingerbread ROMs are based on leaked i9000 ROMs from Samsung.
MIUI has a unique launcher that does away with the app drawer, instead putting all apps on your home pages which are easily organized into folders of your choosing. It also has many special features you can't find in the leaked i9000 gingerbread ROMs. For instance, long pressing a toggle like wifi or bluetooth will open up its settings.
MIUI is also, in my experience, a much smoother experience than Froyo and even leaked Gingerbread. The launcher has no lag with only a mild overclock, and apps load quickly. Even the phone itself starts up quicker than with other ROMs.
The best part of MIUI is in the customization by way of theming. All those special lockscreens that require custom ROMs and flashing to use? MIUI allows for anywhere from single swipe to, I'm not kidding, 15 button lock screens simply by downloading them through the online theme collection. You can change your icons, status bar, lock screen and wallpaper, dialer, SMS, and more by simply downloading a theme online through MIUI, and can even mix and match various components to your liking. SMS from Blue Dado Black combined with an animated lockscreen from some indecipherable Chinese name and a font from the Evolver theme, and on and on.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to know more, read the MIUI threads in the Development section. For me, I can't imagine leaving the ROM without something catastrophic happening.
Thanks man!! I'm gonna give one a try tonight.
One quick question, if I have the gb bootloaders I need to Odin the froyo one right? Also need to be on stock 2.1 or .22

Yes, you'll need a Froyo bootloader. I just installed Lithium V2.1 MIUI and wow, it's super cool. I'm trying to figure out the lockscreens.
of all roms that I have tried Simply Stock 2.3.5 JVS w/ 1.2 Talon Kernel is one badass rom!!!!!!!!!!! it is super fast with 0 bugs or forced closes and I have no desire to switch it for any other "pretty rom"

I have never tried a jv(anything) Tom but I did try every froyo I could get my phone on and I did miui in early augustvand it was a constant flash back and forth from cm7 to that.
I have noticed occasionally lag while loading apps like cnet tv and games (using chainfire pro).
What was the last miui you tried? I must say l, miui as is really stable and still fast, lithium rocks in speed, stock is my face so far when the powermod is applied.
I could not justify staying off of froyo until now.
Miui launches apps fast but are they faster once loaded in Samsung base rom's?
Also it has been since august that I tried any cm7 nightlies since gr90, is it just me or has miui surpassed cm7 in stability with less maunual fixes?
One thing is that the speaker on off for people to hear me is still happening on every miui I try

pure CM9 vs CM9 builds like hydrog3n or resurrection

hey guys I'm trying to make my way around to all these roms to try for myself. just wanted to get a headsup on what to expect? what are some differences between pure cm9 and cm9 builds like hydrog3n and resurrection.
like I had cm7 on my sgs1 and it had built in BLN that didnt rape battery, I'm not seeing that on my hydro rom. also getting a weird bug where task manager pops up over lockscreen when unlocking .. anyways ill drop some thanks rep to anyone who gives feedback

pure cm9 is pure、fast and clean,even without file Exploerer.
Hydrog3n and Resurrection build is based on AOKP,which have more setting about UI and CPU/IO control

They are all AOSP based, most of the AOSP based ROMs for the SGS2 at least use the device setup from CM9 and usually add their own tweaks and themeing to it, but the overall experience is going to be similar, keep in mind however that CM9 updates on a fairly regular basis (nightlies aren't every night atm, but close) whereas some of these other ROMs may take weeks to incorporate new AOSP features. As for BLN you would need a custom kernel for this, CM stock doesn't currently support it, also on the SGS2 BLN holds a wake lock where on the SGS it did not, this will cause far more drain on the SGS2 than you experienced on the SGS, unfortunately this doesn't appear avoidable.
Pure CM9 > Update Faster
CM9 builds like hydrog3n > Have AOKP, more tweak as the above said
CM9 builds like resurrection > Have AOKP merged with gapps
i dont use google service, just sync contact and mail from Google, so i choose in between hydrog3n and CM9
finally,i choose to use Pure CM9 as it updated faster.
Hydrog3n is a very good rom. A lot of tweak and a cm9 base. But the battery life is not optimized for this time.

A good place to start here would be to read each ROM's thread. We have enough clutter and non-meaningful conversation as it is. We don't need anymore lazy users asking for the Cliff Notes.

[Q] AOKP + Scrolling

Hello,
one of the thing that is holding me back from using on daily base any AOKP rom is the scrolling.
No matter what kind of combo of settings + kernel, it is never responsive as a Sammy rom.
Now would you, AOKP users, update me and to all other users that have the same problem when AOKP scroll will get smooth as sammyrom?
P.S. Hydrog3n 05.05 is very close to achive this...
Telegram sent as soon as scrolling is smooth .
jje
I've been on CM9/AOKP ROMs for a while now and thought I'd see the progress some of the official Samsung ROMs have made and scrolling was something I immediately noticed differences in. While Samsung scrolling seems nice and fluid it's almost too responsive and results in small movements when you're actually trying to select something. Perhaps it's because I'm now used to CM9 scrolling but I find it much more accurate and efficient when trying to find something quickly.

ROM suggestions for a simple user

Hey guys,
My dad has been using my RAZR running 4.1.2 for a year now and I plan to move it to a KitKat based ROM. I've haven't visited these forums in a while so I'm really out of touch with the ROM scene.
I need help in choosing a simple Kitkat ROM (preferably no pie/halo and no extensive customization). Stability is of paramount importance.
Any suggestions will be extremely helpful. Kudos!

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Slimkat. I have been following this ROM since its creation. This last build, 5.2 is seriously flawless, not just saying that because it is my favorite. I have tried other KK Roms for the XT912 on VZW and they all seem to have some kind of issue. APN issues, system UI crashes, random restarts, freezes forcing me to reboot, high battery drain, wakelock issues. The 5.2 SK, with the latest Slim GAPPS seems stable enough so far to flash to my stock slot... still waiting to pull that trigger though. I have been running this setup for about two weeks now since I got my insurance replacement and it has been great! I have not had any crashes, freezes, or lockups. Everything works flawlessly (Wifi, bluetooth, MMS, etc)
It does not have a lot of in depth extras like pie, halo, or cpu control. You can install those later if you want. I have trickster mod installed as a CPU governor, but the stock kernel and settings are just fine too. It does have all the necessary KK features and other extras I like. Full dark, quick tiles and customization, lots of shortcuts, status bar customizations, privacy guard settings for apps, and most of all great battery life. I consistently get a good 20 hours on a charge with fairly heavy usage with voice calls, and streaming siriusXM app, or play music.
Total time from rooting, flashing the newest SS (which allows for bigger partitions now!!!), D-loading and flashing SK rom and Gapps, then restoring apps/data from TI backup all took about an hour or so with absolutely no problems. This ROM is sure to bring new life into the not so outdated RAZR.
Hope this helps and let us know what you decide and how it works out.
I just flashed the 5.2 SK, I also have on my xt910maxx LS and RR. it is a simple rom, without so many extra features. I will give it a go to see the stability and battery life. just one question: from were can I download omniswich and active display?

Thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime I've crossed off LiquidSmooth and Resurrection Remix off my list. Way too many features. I'll be trying PA, CM11 M6 and Slimkat next.
EDIT: The RAZR is on SlimKat. I'm impressed. Waiting for dad's response!
i found am alternativ for activdisplay-acdisplay. Amyone has an alternativ for omnyswich? Or domething similar to accrs favorite apps from any window?

I flashed slimkat on a friend's razr, and he is very happy with kitkat!
Simple, fast and stable.
However CM is always a good choice
If you just want the Pure Stock Experience ..which has not many customizations ...i think you can go for CM11
all other ROMS have Pie Halo and other extensive customizations!!
Best Regards!

I'm far from experienced, but I have tried Slim, CM and Axxion. The Axxion is by far the most stable Rom I have used.
Thanks for the suggestions, should help me out..
Eclipse is a pretty smooth aosp 4.3

I would also recommend paranoid android rc2 as being the most streamlined solid rom as well as cyanogenmod 11 the m7 build is pretty stable though I am using the most recent nightly build which is also running well. Both are now really stable and reliable.
