Preferred modem on MIUI? General MIUI thoughts. - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to flash KB5 (CM7) and it was not allowing it... curious what you guys are using.
I am NOT a fan of the modem that comes with MIUI revamped.
Loving the bali kernel so far.. know that it's only going to get better.
I have watchdog installed and "Android Media Process" is using a TON of CPU... not sure why (never an issue pre-miui). Anyone know why this would be an issue?
Finally got swype beta working - let me know if anyone needs help with it.
Customization on MIUI is absurd.

WHat do you mean it wasn't allowing it? KB5 works well for me.

tried to flash and got an odd error.. something about reverting to something else. Didnt really look hard, just rebooted... I need a new modem as this does not work well

Just get whatever modem you want, extract the modem.bin file, using root explorer, copy it to /radio, reboot.

none of the other files in the modem zips are needed if copied this way? just the modem.bin?

[mod] [download fix] [ec09] [includes tsm/nameless] [7/10/11]

Here is a little workaround or fix, either way, for the EC09 download problem. I have tried it on stock EC09, replace apk and remove odex file. It also works on TSM and Nameless, I have tried it on all of them.
There are some apk's provided here that if you replace what is currently in your /system/app folder they will fix the download issues.It also makes youtube and netflix work reliably, at least in my case. I have not had others test this out, I wanted to get this out to the XDA community to try out. You have to copy these into the app folder, if you try installing it will fail, I have used root explorer, available in market (not free), and Android Commander, Google it (requires Android SDK setup) to copy these strait to the app folder. your phone will vibrate through most of this it's just complaining about the change. Now for what you really want, the files, ok fine here they are. Please feel free to post results, good or bad, here.

BTW: after every reboot i get a DRM has stopped working message right as everything finishes loading, just click on the Force Close. It only seems to happen on boot and after you close it the app will work fine.
Now you can also get this in a flashable zip courtesy of BakedTator, thanks for the hook up on that.

OK Devs, Hope these help y'all figure out whats wrong with our leak, if not PLEASE feel free to use these.
And an extra little treat, Netflix from the market works even though it isn't available to us yet, so here it is, non modded downloaded and tested with all EC09 builds, and it has worked on every one of them for me.

Can't remember for sure but I think I got them from the nitrality, or something like that, app, in the market. The appear lets you download updated apps for sgs phones. I will find the app again and let you know for sure Jitsu, I don't have that kind of TSM skill YET to mod apps.
Just found it it was the nitrality app from the market.

Meh, if this zip isn't flashing a kernel then it can be flashed pretty much immeditately after commrom. The system update text that flashes everywhere is produced by redbend_ua during kernel flashing. bmlwrite doesn't do that. Soo flashing this after flashing the should be fine.

[Q] tar/md5 file for [ROM][ED05] PowerWashed ED05 ROM and Debloated Touchwiz ED05 ROM

Hi! I've been using the search feature and How Tos, but my problem is that I just received a warranty replacement Fascinate for my speaker going out, prior to yesterday I was rolling happily along with CommRom UKB, but now with ED05 already on my phone I'm not sure I want to back track... I want to try ccampos784's [ROM][ED05] PowerWashed ED05 ROM and Debloated Touchwiz ED05 ROM, and I have the zip, I understand how to flash that, but don't I need an odin file? And to get CWM or something? Should I use the ones I have from before (cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX.tar)? and since the Odin file for ED05 is stock, not rooted wouldn't that just be a circle and put me where I am with Stock ED05. My main reason for rooting is Debinging, so... can anyone help me out here please? I think I am just confusing myself more the more I try to research....
download the powerwash ed05.zip and push to your sd
odin cwmall.tar
three finger boot into recovery
wipe data
install zip from sd
Should work fine installing over your current ed05 build...atleast it did for me.
*edit
btw the powerwash ed05 rom is already rooted/debloated/debigned/deodexed/zipaligned/go launcher...etc
Thanks!!!
So Simple and what I've done a bunch of times, I was just making it way more complicated than it needed to be, thanks for the clear "Just do this" Basically. Now I'm embarrassed that I had to ask...
I've rooted and installed roms on other phones before, but this one has me really confused. Currently I've rooted using the ubuntu guide, installed cwm-3-30fix, "modified stock firmware" found in some guide out there that said it was needed to install "latest cwm recovery" which was red 3.xx, curently still on the 2.5cwm 3-30fixall recovery. So should I go back to stock ED04? Update to ED05? Place point me in the direction to install cm7 or other rom. And from what I've read I also need to worry about the modems now? I also tried installing the rom managers recovery, then learned from another thread it doesn't work with the fascinate.

Sorry firmware is 2.2.1 according to my phone. Baseband ed04
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Your question cannot be directly answered, but Ill try my best...
-flash the version of cwm that the rom you are trying to install calls for.
-I use cwm 2.5.1.x for all stock rom's and the older froyo roms
-Some newer roms require cwm3
-All mtd roms such as miui, cm7, VGB require cwm4
Read the vanilla gingerbread thread in the development section and that should bring you up to speed. I recommend to odin the verizon official ed05 package in the development section. One reason being you do not need to flash a modified kernal to get cwm to stick. Also the powerwash ed05 package is debinged/ debloated/deodexed/ zip aligned/ rooted. Its a nice functional rom with some tsm enhancements.
Thank you for giving me a place to start! is there info on the modems/radios in the vanilla thread?

Nice! ill have to play around with that...
Thanks Droidstyle! Now I'm on ED05 powerwash. Nice speed compared to stock. I'm very happy now.
Glad to hear you guys are happy with the ROM! Just as a reminder, the PowerWash ROM has been updated since yesterday up to beta v4 and resolves some issues. Check the main thread for more details.
Is anyone else having problems with app storage on the powerwash ROM?
I originally loaded the ROM and after restoring my backups from Titanium the phone became an unusable due to constant crashes of just about everything imaginable. Tried wiping it and restoring a few apps at a time - worked fine until I rebooted at which point all my prefs were gone and the same crashes started before I could even unlock the screen.
So, I decided maybe it was a problem with my backups and decided I'd start clean. I did a full wipe and discovered that I can't install more than about 4 apps before I start getting insufficient space errors. When I go to settings->phone storage, I still have 1.42GB free under internal phone storage.
I've now done the following procedure twice top-to-bottom, and end up with the same results:
- ODIN ED05 OTA ROM & .pit file.
- Boot into ED05
- Setup Google Account
- Load Market -> Install Maps, all 3 Angry Birds variants, Beautiful Widgets, Pocket Cloud (just a few big apps to prove there is no problem with my hardware and that it works under stock).
- Reboot & ODIN CWM.
- Flash PowerWash beta4, wipe davlik, data, cache, battery stats. Confirm voodoo is off.
- Boot into PWb4.
- Setup Google Account
- Load Market -> Install BW, PocketCloud, Maps, Angry Birds. After this, all additional app installs fail due to insufficient space.
A df from the command line shows 1.4GB free on /data and none of the other partitions are 100% full, so I don't think this is a voodoo-partition-with-a-non-voodoo-kernel problem.
As I said, I've done this whole thing twice. Apps install fine on Stock, fail on PowerWash. Nobody else seems to be complaining, so this must be an obvious thing I'm missing, but I'm not sure what. Any help?
OK, this may not be directly ROM related, but I'm not sure how to work around it. From what I can tell, every time I load the market, it must be background updating from 3.0.26 to 3.0.27. If I go into applications, wipe the data and uninstall the update, I can then go into the market and install one additional app. When I try to install another, I'm told there is no space, but if I go to the Applications control panel, I'll see that I've been upgraded to 3.0.27 again. If I uninstall the update and repeat the process, I can get yet another app, but the process keeps repeating itself.
Is there a way to either lock the 3.0.26 market version or to flash back to the old market?

Want to try this out for me? It flashes back the old market that came with ED05 stock. Flash in CWM, then once you boot up go into settings>applications> Market and clear data and cache on it to clear up any issues.

There's another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16324333) with another person having the same issue. Seems to be related to the latest market.
I had just finished doing about what you are recommending when you posted.
For reference for anyone else - Once I started searching beyond just the fascinate forums, I've found that 3.0.27 causes problems for a lot of people on other platforms (mostly apps over 30MB will fail, but others at random as well), and there doesn't seem to be a way to block the update from 3.0.26. You have to roll back to the 2.x version (which I did), and that seems to fix the problem.
I'd suggest leaving the 2.x version in the future version of the ROM and making the 3.0 market an addon if people want to experiment with it after google hammers out the bugs.
(Alternatively, people have had luck making a temporary /cache partition inside an ext4 img file, but that seems complicated and hacky to include in a ROM).
Thanks!

Actually, this might be fixed soon, since a voodoo kernel is in the making and it uses Ext4 partitions. Can't give you an ETA (and it's not my kernel), but check the couple last posts in the main ROM thread for details.

[Q] Why is NFC crashing? Custom ROM help

So I have been following some guides and creating my own CWN ZIP that allows me to quickly flash XWLA4 to the my i777. However, When trying to combine the Hellraier into the same package something doesn't go right. Seemingly the NFC permissions are wrong and it keeps crashing.
However, if I flash the Hellraiser on top everything start working. Any ideas as to what is going wrong in merging the ROM with the hell raiser? I can share what I have, but it seems like All the hell raiser ROMs should have run into it.

That's odd... Did you maybe copy the APK without the libraries?
I copied everything that was in the hellraiser and then modified the script to include the permission changes also
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Can you upload what you are flashing?
If the apk was removed from the rom you'll randomly experience FC's... I NEVER use NFC so I have it disabled. I'd reflash the rom if you continue to have issues.
Finally checked the hellraiser libraries against my packaged libraries. You were right Entropy, I was missing all the libraries from the hellraiser. I guess the DIFF tool I used to make sure I had everything was (in)conviniently hiding all .so files.
Once I fix that I can upload what I have, but it is really nothing more than just XWLA4 rooted, deodexed zipaligned and hellraised.
Ah ok, if you figured out your problem that's fine then.
I was missing all the libraries from the hellraiser.

*Update* [Themes] Notification Toggles/198_7 Themes

Id like to first say thanks to Rangerbry,for his port of this for the Photon.This is his work,all I did was swap out some images,to suit my taste on my device,and wanted to share them.I use this with a stock rooted 198_7 build.If you're running an odexed build,you'll have to change the file extension of the SystemUI.odex file ,from .odex to .abk for it to take.I also swapped out the stock data icons for those from the DX,as those look a whole lot better in MHO.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25537380/Alien-Theme2.2.zip
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25537380/Blur_Plus2.0.zip
Kenneths base,the aosp sliders were a morph i picked up from droidpirate,LiGux battery,signal,and data icons.The notification toggles are from and themed like n the ones in Liberty rom.The only problems,are the gps icon is distorted when its acquiring,and the "notification" bar is still ginger blue.This BlurPlus zip,undoes the Alien theme.For anyone wondering,these are based on 198_7 stock,rooted and unlocked.
The Blur Plus zip is a little combo including the first set of toggles.I replaced the saw blade spinners with GB ones colored accordingly,used ICS emotion icons,changed the default wallpaper.
I tried to flash liberty with bootstrap on jokers 4g ROM and ot didnt take. The file flashed just fine, no errors or anything, the toggles just dont show. Just an FYI to others who may try.
use root explorer and rename the SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.abk,and reboot. itll take.

First three work great on Stock 198_6. (Using the bootstrap CWM and then renaming the systemui.odex to .bak and rebooting, wiping dalvik).
However, the fourth package (Blur Plus) does not seem to work on stock rooted, locked 198_6. Luckiy I nandroid backed up prior to flashing as it caused numerous FC's on just about any auto launch program. Background was nice, but did not work. For anyone wondering.......
Funny enough,thats what led to me unlocking my bootloader,but i didnt have a backup so i had to sbf first.Idk why it would FC.Im on 198_7,and theres no difference between the two that I can see other than the known compatibility issue with some market apps.Did you flash any other theme components with it?If I use RomToolbox to change my battery or signal icons,sometimes itll do the same thing that youre describing,and then ill have to restore a backup.

I ended up just using the Liberty package. After the first meltdown with the plus package, I started looking at file sizes of your packages and noticed that the plus package was 5x larger than any other you offer. So that rung a bell to me that much more is being done with that one. As my ultimate goal was just to get the notification toggles, I went with a smaller one.
As I am on a stock rooted, Locked bootloader with bootstrap recovery, I want to be as minimal as possible. I read a couple other threads with similar toggles and was seeing confirmations that people were getting these to work on 198_6, locked. So I gave it another shot after restoring my nandroid from bootstrap. Second go round with a smaller package was successful (Also wiping Dalvik after flashing). I did have to manually rename the Systemui from odex to bak and reboot. Once rebooted, I had the ICS themed toggles and a nice pretty new 3G icon on my notification bar.
Outside of that, it has been smooth. No FC's or issues after flashing the smaller package.
I would have to assume the issues you are having with romtool box are linked to ROMS either being odex or deodex'd. If its a stock rom, you will more than likely have issues trying to theme things as the structure for which it works normally relies on deodex'd packages. Stock is normally odex. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Yeah,the reason for the size difference, is because i havent exactly gotten in the habit of making an update zip with just the images.everything i uploaded are the complete systemUIs that i made and flashed on my phone.i use root explorer for all the grunt work and just keep extracted copies of all of my system ui and framework-res im separate folder for easy modifying. Then i zip it up with root explorer and sign it with zip zigner.With RomToolbox,it usually happens if i try to install one theme over another.i just use icon changer part as an icon repository. Download them,then move them around on my sd card.

Weird install error

Weird problem here and wondering if anyone knows what's wrong. Probably going to wipe upgrade soon so isn't important, but it has me stumped.
It happens with a few apps, let's say tune in radio for e.g. Installs fine, but when run it crashes. Fixed it by copying the library files in the package in /lib to /system/lib . The program then works correctly!
No funky mods on phone or anything really but Siyah kernel, all apps from market. Some frozen Sam crapware.
I am stumped now what to flash have an itch, then I shall have to port over PDroid. Heard its doable!.. Surprised it's not out yet...
