The MIUI for HTC Desire 601​
ATTENTION! This thing may harm you or your device or everyone else on the earth, flash at your own risk! I'm not responsible for bricked phones, fried CPUs, dead motherboards and nuclear wars. If you get fired because of the crappy alarm app, if you dont get an umbrella because the crappy weather app told you so, if you miss a date with your crush because of the crappy calendar app, its all up to you and I dont fckin care!

I'm proudly presenting you an unofficial port of MIUIv5 for the HTC Desire 601 (zara). The ROM is based on stock JB 4.2.2 and used MIUI 4.6.13 MIUI for the HTC One S.
*Some screenshots may have themes, wallpapers and apps installed, which means the ROM you install wont look exactly the same!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features:
MIUIv5 4.6.13
Sense based
Multilanguage
Zara_UL only, for now
Stock Camera for best quality
Stock Browser
Google Keyboard
Slimmed
Beats Audio
What else...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugs and not properly working stuff (workarounds or fixes are in the second post):
Native menu button(see post 2)
Xunlei download engine causes media errors (see post 2)
Built-in gallery application cant open png images and thus its removed (use QuickPic as good alternative or see post 2)
Built-in video application is not working (use Mx Player or QuickPic)
Themes engine is not working (see post 2)
Widget theming doesnt seem to work at all, but not good tested
Yellowpage is not working and it is removed but there is still icon on the launcher (only when system language is set to English or Chinese)
USB Mounting doesnt work, but MTP works. This means that you should set USB connect on "Charge only" and there wont be problems
Battery usage data isnt available in Settings app. You can see it in Security->Power->Battery Use
Some minor resizing
Thats all I can recall now, you can point me more of them buggies

DOWNLOADS, INSTRUCTIONS, INFO, USEFUL STUFF
Before proceeding, keep in mind that the update zips are made for the kitkat hboot 2.22 (system at mmcblk0p35, data at mmcblk0p37, boot at mmcblk0p33, etc.) This means that if you are on older partition table, the ROM may break your partitions!​
Installing instructions PLEASE READ THEM:
Download the ROM, GAPPS and MEDIA FIX. Place them somewhere on your sdcard.
Reboot to recovery and perform a data wipe
Flash unofficial_miui_4.6.13_jb_4.2.2_Vency77_TF.zip
Flash miuiandroid_gapps-4.2.2-small_signed-8012.zip
Reboot and let the ROM boot
IMPORTANT! When the ROM boots, you will see a lockscreen. DONT unlock it because you will have system media FC'es. Hold the power button, Power Off the device (dont tap Reboot, it doesnt have native 'Reboot to recovery' option), boot into bootloader->recovery, then flash fix_media_miui.zip and reboot. You shouldn't have more FC'es, but you may need to perform a reboot or two so the media can be rescaned.
And no, this CANT be flashed when flashing ROM!
Start the MIUI journey!
Optional: Use the aroma installer to install some additional apps and services (list of them is below)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Removed apps:
I have removed some apps from the rom, either because they didnt worked well, or they are useless. Here is a list and aroma zip to install some of them if you want:
Backup.apk and BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk - used for backing up the phone with xiaomi server, which is in China, which is slow.
HTC Gallery apps- The stock gallery with zoe and some other stuff, which can be accessed through camera or the settings app under 'Stock Settings'.
HTC_IME.apk - the stock HTC keyboard
MiuiGallery.apk - stock gallery. Couldn't open pngs and videos.
PaymentService.apk - xiaomi payment service for paid themes and other stuff. Would install this only if you wish to buy themes.
Transfer.apk - Miui transfer app, works only between MIUI phones, not tested, not sure how it works.
Updater.apk - Completely useless as this is unofficial ROM and there wont be OTA's.
XiaomiAuthenticator.apk - app to manage your xiaomi account. The xiaomi framework works good even without it!
XiaomiServiceFramework.apk - this is the account service for xiaomi and the application that you'll want the most, because without it you cant download themes.

Workaround for some of the bugs:
1) There isnt menu native menu button. There are different options, the best one for me is this: download and install WSM tools(this is the xposed framework for MIUI). When installed, go to the application, framework, install the framework and reboot. Then start WSM Tools again, go to the online Tab, click "Repository" and mark 'Xposed'. Then search for GravityBox JB, install it, enable the module in WSM, reboot. Then in GravityBox you have many options for menu button - enable pie controls or go to 'Navigation keys actions' and remap home or back button.
2) The Xunlei Download Engine is crashing the media server. When flashing fix_media_miui.zip, it is disabled so there is no problem, but if you enable it in Download Manager, you will have errors again... so dont do it, and if it happens - flash the fix again
3) Themes are now working!
To download themes from the market, install XiaomiServiceFramework with the aroma installer.
To install local (.mtz) themes, you have to have installed Mi Tools module for WSM tools, which disables Xiaomi restrctions for free themes.
These are the main bugs and their workarounds, if you have any questions or dont understand something - feel free to ask and I will help you

What do you mean by only JB?
Its actually only UL for now and I see you have CL, if anyone wants to test and use a CL version, I can try and make one

What I meant was that I noticed the files for the rom and gapps package said 4.2.2 which is Jellybean. Wasn't sure if this also works for Kitkat. Bummer about UL only, but I understand. Id be will to test for CL. Take you time, no rush though.

The ROM itself is Android JB 4.2.2
This has nothing to do with the verison you are using now, simply because now you are on KK ROM and if you flash this you will be using JB.
It is however important what partition table and respectively what hboot version you have because of the flashable zips, which is explained in the second post with the red font.
When I find time to replace some things for a CL version, I could send them to you for a test, thanks

---

good looking out

---

I'll test on the cl post a link engendere

---

Themes fully fixed!
If you are using MIUI, just flash fix_theme_miui.zip
The updated ROM is uploaded and links are fixed as unofficial_miui_4.6.13_jb_4.2.2_Vency77_TF.zip
_______
To download themes, install the XiaomiServiceFramework.apk via the aroma installer in post 2.
To install local downloaded themes (.mtz), you have to install Mi Tools module via WSM Tools, info in post 2.

Can't wait for zara_cl !! i'm with virgin/sprint or whatever... in the bootloader it says i'm on zara_ul though, which is weird cuz i installed zara_cl insertcoin 3.0.8 unless IC is for both zara cl and ul but... i can't wait for the release for cl

That is very weird. The virgin mobile model should be Zara_CL. Check again and make sure. If boot loader says ul then it's ul

I am so effing happy right now...
I love you baby. This ROM is like poem come true.
Thanks for your effort!
One problem though, how do you get MiTools to work?
I enabled a lot of the battery ? options and they don't work. Or is it just a settings manager which we have to install the originals before enabling? Again, I love you so much ?
EDIT: GOT IT TO WORK.HaD TO enable them in settings!
How do I get mi credits?

Im glad you liked it, MiTools require WSM Tools framework installed and turned on there.
MiCredits are buyed, but its not possible outside China. There are sites where you pay someone in China, and he buys the credits for you, if you are interested I can show you, but its not worth it..
