Question for MIUI Users?? - Motorola Droid X2

When I was on Miui I was incredibly happy but now I'm sad
I really like Miui but videos wouldn't play at all or would move incredibly slow which is a huge problem for me :O,
So, I'm just wondering if anyone else had this problem?
And
If you know a way to fix it like some super advanced settings, or some script, build.prop edits, anything?
Btw I use Mx Video Player, and I'm on CM7 now and it's cool but I really like the themes in miui.

This is a well known issue with the ROM. The developer is working on it.

No one really knows how to fix it...Ace has been working on it and correct me if Im wrong but, I think he said he'd found the problem and fixed it.

Thanks, glad to know he's working on it and it wasn't just me with the problem,
Guess I'll just be a patient pony

There's a potential petition going on as many MIUI users and developers are getting frustrated from the official MIUI team in not fixing bugs that are found and slow to release things.
miuiandroid.com is the group that is very upset with the official MIUI developers. They have a twitter feed going on about this:
https://twitter.com/#search?q=from:miuiandroid
Not sure what else can be done about it at this point, but it looks like Ace is also beholden to the MIUI team and whether or not they fix the bugs and issues. Apparently, they are not very forthcoming and helpful.

So open sourcing MIUI didn't do us any good? I thought that would have made things easier for ace

I don't know if it was truly open-sourced. I don't see anything on the official MIUI site stating that it is open-sourced. It sounds like it isn't, especially since the US MIUI site is up in arms about the lack of bug fixes coming out that have been reported by users and seem to go unnoticed.

Yeah, I dont know all the details about it. I just remember the news about it being open source. I still want to go back to MIUI but the only thing keeping me is the ability to play my games on that ROM.

You and me both. That's why I'm back on Eclipse 2.1 which has had more BLUR stuff removed.
Also, Ace just tweeted that MIUI4DX2 (GB version) is dead. He'll never get the sound to work. But, he's going to use the MIUI 4 codebase which DOES have the sound issue fixed, so hope is on the horizon. It just might take more time.

Likes/Dislikes of GBP7

What I would like to know is what are the likes and dislikes of GBP7? Android was founded on a community effort and with that basis is how I want the success of my ROM to be; a community effort. With the ever popular MIUI and CM roms, I found that these roms were developed by top notch developers, and even more so, the community behind them.
I need to know what you the user would like to see in GingerBread Phone 7! I can pump out the same updates over and over and fix compatibilities all day, but this will never grow to the success I want in my ROM.
Over the next few days I will be finalizing a couple tweaks in this ROM, and be moving on to the future development section. While in this transit, give me your thoughts and opinions to better serve you the community.

Build Swype beta into your ROM If you haven't already. It irritates the hell out of me that I have to jump through all the hoops whenever I flash a new ROM. If you do end up doing this and you need help building it in PM me cause I've done it a bazillion times now.

Looks good, But the idea for now is to keep the current and build onto it. Although after the 2.3.5 release(I'm getting close), I'll look more into this concept and see how it works with the 2.3.5 release and build with it if the launcher is suitable to how I need the ROM to go.
Thanks for the suggestion tho. I've been referred to other launchers as well
EDIT:
I'm at work right now and I'm bored, so I'll go ahead and download the launcher and see how well it functions. Ill get back with you guys on this. I was looking more into the OP and it looks very nice, but I need to see the functionality of it. If it looks good, I may push back the 2.3.5 update a little further; to set up this for initial install of the launcher, but no guarantees.
I've considered playing with it but was so turned off trying launcher7 that I decided against it.
There were no videos or screenshots I could find so I skipped it.
If it's as snappy and elegant as the real wp7 though I'd give it a go and maybe even give it a write up on the general section of the blog I am building that's more fitness based but will have a tech section too.

There are screen shots up...since the release. The ROM it's about to be updated to 235 but I have one more issue to work out and I'm ready for final tests to go through. The theme has been completely fixed for the next update.

CM7 vs. MIUI

So we may be getting MIUI soon. "Within a week or so" according to aceoyame
http://twitter.com/aceoyame
Wether it happens or not (Im not trying to stir up any expectations), what is the big difference between the two ROMs?
Very cool, I tried MIUI back when I had the OG X, it was nice but buggy. Hopefully this will be a better turnout!

I've never used MIUI, obviously since I have an X2. What are the major features on it?
This might be construed as sacrilegious in this forum, but MIUI from what I understand is an AOSP ROM that has an iOS look and feel to it.
See what I mean by being sacrilegious?
http://miuiandroid.com/
I actually believe once the BSR was released for the X2, someone released the "Chinese ROM" for the X2 which is what MIUI is from what I understand.

Yeah, I just looked up some videos and I definitely see the iOS resemblance (which kinda throws me off). The one thing I see they have for that ROM though is a lot of different lockscreens, which is cool but not important to me. I guess its just another option for people. I love CM7 and how it runs on my phone now. Apparently they are working on an ICS port too. I will probably flash that when/if it comes out.

It's a lot like an iPhone, but the UI is very customizable.

Miui is a Chinese rom based on cyanogenmod. It's ui is based on several different OS's and ui's however. The main reason people think its too much like ios is the lack of an app drawer on the launcher. The launcher can be replaced just like any other, though.
There was a time on the og Droid when it certainly was buggy, but those kinks were ironed out pretty well in the gingerbread iterations.
Full support from Miui.us would depend on official support from cyanogenmod. Unofficial ports are possible whenever somebody takes the time to do it.

I like the MIUI look more than CM7. It is a very clean look and cool UI. I'm currently using MIUI on my OG Droid and CM7 on my X2. And regardless who the Dev is, it is a win for us to have options for an until recently dead in the water device.
Well, with aceoyame's new beta MIUI rom now posted I will be giving it a go in a few minutes to see if I like it better or the same as cm7. It is nice to have options. Just have to wait for dkz ICS rom now. Hopefully?
I will update my $.02 on likes/dislikes of the two roms as a casual user after I spend some time with MIUI.
Just nandroided back from the miui beta. Install went perfect. Got apps and everything set the way I like it... after an hour, decided I did not like it. Just seemed way to busy for my liking. ÇM7 for this Guy!!

This is the same thing that happened to me. I tried MIUI and honestly it feels hacked together. I don't know what the issue was/is but my phone definitely did not like it nearly as much as CM7 or even Eclipse 2.0.3 for that matter.
Perhaps in a later version I'll try it again to see if it's working a bit smoother. Until then, I really can't afford to have so many performance issues and anomalies.

I just installed MIUI for the first time. It is really smooth and parts of the UI are cool. But I'm with you. Tomorrow I will probably nandroid back to CM7. MIUI just isn't for me.

I gave MIUI a try last night but after a few hours of messin around I ended up back on CM7. I'll pry try it again after some more development.

BOUNTY: JB Voice Search Port

To ALL Devs:
I'm starting a bounty, and will keep track of others offers, to try to port the new Voice Search w/cards from JellyBean. I have $75 for just the voice search and $100 if we can port the new keyboard also! If any others are interested in these awesome features being put on our note's then feel free to add. Thanks!
I think Quicksearchbox, Voicesearch and Google Now have been compiled into one apk now (Velvet.apk). I have attached a deodexed version of the file for our devs to mess with (thanks goes to ecs1984!).
This may not even be possible, but our real devs are a lot smarter than me, so ya never know...
I tried this earlier to no avail. "problem parishing package" Thats why I put the bounty out. We have some of the best devs around!

Nice find! It looks like they're making good progress.
I am running hybrid rom on galaxy note..installed this and is working just as it is for everyone else (no voice) .. one thing i noticed since i installed it is when i go to system settings/accounts and sync/ if i select any, it force closes system settings "unfortunately settings has stopped" dont know if this helps devs at all ..just reporting it so you know
This is purely speculation, but i have a feeling that we will probably see a JB port with google now fully functional before we see google now fully functional on ICS. Personally, thats what id love to see anyways, because based on the word of mouth reviews ive heard from nexus users, JB is butter smooth. Since these guys have managed to make ICS butter smooth, imagine what they could do with JB.
Same here, installed great on my galaxy note just no voice keep up the great work devs!

Is there any stable rom for daily use? NO.

I will just post this here in General, i would consider this as a complain, although we are greatefull for the job that every developer does in this comunity
example from CM10.X roms around in the forum
i m just wondering, those roms are not good to use as regular rom, i see many reports of battery drain, gps not working etc, what will happen if android 4.4 comes ? the developer moves to android 4.4 and leaves again a rom unfinished ?. what is the situation of the cm10.1 is it stable or again there are many open isues? i dont want to offend anyone but what i see is that we will always have an unfinished not good functioning rom... i 100% believe that in next weeks this version will be abandoned once again (CM10.2) this is what the history shows..... sorry i have been trying to switch to a costum rom since we got the bootloader unlocked but it seems its not worth like many people do so.
Anyways those were just some thoughts, if its not apropriate just delete this thread, i m staring thinking that i spent too much energy for this device trying the roms

then you dont read correct, it doesnt matter what device i have (lg optimus l9 p760), the point of this topic is that there is no stable costum rom and all the developers instead of creating one good version they stop and move to the next release of the android version, leaving not even one single good rom for daily use, and i m 100% that this will happen again now with the 4.4 version leaving no 4.3 stable version and the same situation was with 4.1 and 4.2 ....
Hyperion 8 crazy battery saving life!!! And super stable etc etc very less cons.
Or maybe you should do what I'm doing. Saving up money for the LTE Nexus 4. $299 is reasonable for me.

Wow that was all one sentence. Anyways, maybe you should try and LEARN how to develop and port a ROM, as that is what these forums are intended for. Maybe then you'd realize that it isn't easy, and it's discouraging to do it for free when selfish, grabby whiners such as yourself complain about every little issue.

If developers want to jump between ROMs they can just do it and is not wrong. They are doing this for educational purposes and they are doing it for free. You can do your own ROM and stop complaining, nobody is working for you. The point of this entire site is to learn things, this is not a service.
BTW CM 10.1.3+Xposed is working flawlessly on my P778g, much better than stock. Completely stable.

well the purpose of this topic wasnt about asking someone to service me or work for me, if i could do a rom i would try at least to bring it in an acceptable level so others can enjoy my work, the current situation is everyone trys and then switches back to the stock over and over again, and this will be the only case here, unless they focus on a version and dont jump arround everytime google gives a new release. Imo this would be possible only if they couldnt use a newer version...

Eh, do stock rom (still a rom, right ) with root, Titanium for disable bloatware, and some other apps count as "stable for daily use"?
Yeah, I am on stock, with few apps (Google apps, Phone, Camera taking 1080p, an ebook reader, a gps navigator app) running smoothly and I consider that's good for my daily use (2h screen on avg, recharging every other day). Games are on my 10" tablet of course!

What you stated is a modified stock. If you want something else, say CM 10.1, develop for yourself. Every developer will want to work with the most recent version, 10.2. Why go back to an older version?
What you're looking for is quality like that of what Google releases Android in. You won't get that on an unofficial port to a phone. Even CM has bugs that need fixing. Don't like it? Learn to code and fix them yourself. These devs work their ass off for people such as I who do not have their skill set, and you should be grateful!

Go make your own ROM or go back to iOS. You're just complaining of WHY instead of learning HOW.
It really pisses me off that people like you think ROMs are made for them. They aren't in most cases. ROMs, a lot of the time, are made to further the knowledge of the creators/porters because they actually want to learn.
CM, PA, AOKP, etc. official releases are made for money.

Besides, look at what you post. No offense, but it seems awful "babyish" a lot of the time. Kind of like you're begging for something. You've been on here since 2007, over 6 years! Imagine if you were learning this ENTIRE time. You'd be a pro!

does my message looks like i disagree with what you say, NO, there is a point on my message those developers do good job but if they continue moving everytime a new release comes then we will always have an unfinished rom with serius instabilities, i dont speak about minor bugs. i m many years arround and i have tried roms in many different phones, what happens here i see it first time. anyway how can we lock this, noone is goin nowhere here.

That depend on preference. Most people want something new, but there're also many that want stable rom for everyday used. You can choose rom that build on stable version such as CM 10.1.3, PAC mr1 milestone.2 or event custom stock rom out there. These roms are very stable and almost bugs free.
But if you want to play with new features and some minor bugs/known issues don't annoy you, you can flash CM 10.2 or PAC mr2.
From what I read, it's not easy to make these CM roms. You need to be pretty savvy with Ubuntu and know how to use terminal. I saw a YouTube video and it confused me after 5 minutes....lol. The devs deserve so much respect!

KitKat - any interest/talent left?

I know, I know... the droid x2 is a lost cause, but i have to make it last a little while longer and I have 2 of them so...
Is anyone interested or talented enough to try to get CM11 (kitkat) ported over to this device? I know @kev1nMark has been "talking" to dragonzkiller about getting into it, but anyone else have resources to contribute? I've never worked on the device at such a low level before, but I have written apps for it as well as know a thing or two about code. I'm happy to contribute whatever i can, even if its as simple as running up tests on my spare device.
Thoughts?

I am considering it. This devices is a royal pain to work with though. I will see what i can do.
I'm certainly willing to test any builds that may come up, I'll have to locate a wall charger though..

In the same situation. It's looking like a good deal of work and might be a task I just simply don't have the skill for at this point. Still, I really want to have a useful old phone. Gingerbread makes me sad. Jelly Bean is just a resource hog. I've always wanted to learn a little more about the ROM build process and this might be a decent way to do it.
How does one go about porting KitKat to the X2?

This is where I'm starting also w/ dragonzkiller's CM10 repos. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
EDIT: Perhaps it's better to start building an updated CM10 just to get everything building correctly? With my lack of experience diving right into CM11 seems a bit bold.
One can simply put cm11 framework on a cm10 base but that's not what we want.

Not what we want, but it may be our only option.

Should anyone decide to take on this herculean task, I'll be more than happy to be a test bunny. My X2 is presently a glorified paperweight.

I have a Milestone X2 running under the ACS Alaska carrier. My device is rooted and I've used every ROM that Larson Thorpe has put in his MX2 collection. The ICS and JB roms did work, but had too many issues/crashes/reboots/etc so I just stuck with Eclipse 2.3 which is based on Gingerbread.
This phone is just... hard to deal with sometimes, and we all know it's mostly due to the amount of RAM. KitKat seems to take care of a ton of memory issues in Android (tested on my N7.) People have said that KitKat won't actually improve older devices by much, but any improvement would be amazing!
I'm totally down to fully test any builds anyone comes up with. I wish I could help build/develop for this phone, but I'm a web developer and have absolutely no skill with ROM building or kernels or anything like that.
Here's to hoping!
I can get everything set up and running (as in, ready to compile) but the compile errors are truly a mess to debug.
Is anyone willing to make a "how to" thread that describes how to make a basic rom, specific to this phone?
I think enough people are still interested, but I think we'd get further if we helped to educate each other.

This is about the closest thing I have seen, thanks Kevin for pointing it out already:

Maybe once it gets put on more devices and development starts up again. You could ask nitroglycerin if he would be willing to update eclipse. But being a 512mb device this would be huge.

Since we don't have a unlocked bootloader we can't just download the source and compile it, it takes a lot of skill. That's why we have a low development rate

Well, actually, you can have CM compile around a pre-compiled kernel (what we have) but there's more to it than that.
One, we already have graphics issues...and KitKat forces you to have newer drivers or else you get black artifacting
This is due to OpenGL 3 not being supported by the vendor blobs
Our blobs don't even have ICS support...
Another nightmare is, yes, getting CM to take the precompiled kernel
If I got my hands on the source that the cm10.1 rom is based off of, we could start work
I would aim to start with 10.2, then maybe add in cm11 features but keep the old system
It would make things easier, keep radios, wifi, storage and display working...hopefully
Also, being as I'm on cm10, could anyone link me the patched recovery?
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one on the ol' X2, this would be so awesome if we got a KitKat ROM

I'm literally ready to start working on it now
But I need our device stuff and I'm waiting for a reply to a PM for it

You have the device tree?
That's all I really need to get started
I want to do this soooo badly
Hell...I'm willing to do this Nexus Image style: hacking the files into a precompiled image to get it working

I am willing to test. My programming skills are certainly not up to this task, but I would like to learn. Any way to get started?

Maybe we'll have it in two weeks? No? Probably not...
I'll try building CM11, but don't expect the graphics to work
At all
