[Q] Best Rom I have Found is MIUI. But want to have more updates - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Best Rom I have Found is MIUI. But want to have more updates. Would like to know where you get the weekly updates or better yet can some one tell me how to add it to ROM Manager then I can just get the update there.
Here is what I have Tried so far
WarmTwoPointTwo RL5 (Great Rom if you like Sense) Good Job
EivO 2
Ava-froyo
Koni Elite
CM7 w/4G (Really Great Rom) Just don't like the dialer
HTC EVO 4G got First Day. Rooted 2 weeks ago.

More updates? MIUI is updated weekly, which makes it one of if not the most often updated ROM there is (excluding CM nightlies). Anyhoo, I agree with you wholeheartedly that MIUI is the best ROM out there and would like to personally welcome you to the MIUI family Not sure about ROM Manager because I prefer to do everything manually (not to mention Amon > Clockwork). Here is the link to the MIUI forums where you can grab the updates.

Miui
Thanks Downloading now ..... Been trying a bunch of differant kernels as well.
Really like this rom...
Any word if there will be 4g added soon?

MikFroyo is also one of the better (if not best) Sense roms.
I use Miui as well.
No need to make this thread though lol...

I know they are working on adding 4G but I have no clue when it will happen. The problem is that the ROM is actually developed in China and is closed source, the guys who give it to us just do the porting and translation. So it's up to the Chinamen to add the 4G, and since there are no EVOs in China, I'd imagine it's not a top priority for them.

4G is a big deal here in the usa. Is there any want to donate to them to get the job done sooner?
Thanks in advance

Donate to the Chinamen? I'm not sure. I'd post that ? over at the miui-dev forums. Keep in mind, they didn't build the ROM for the USA or even for the EVO. It is made for the N1 and the awesome devs here are the ones porting it. I would just sit tight, we'll have it soon enough.

Ok, this build is pretty much the same. But I love it. Iphone 4. Theme

The bulk of the differences between builds are under the hood, but new features do get added all the time. I know there is supposed to be some big UI overhaul coming soon but couldn't tell you when.

Love love MIUI, just wish it had better battery life. Phone is losing 10-12% / hour just sitting idle, wifi or 3g doesn't make much difference. I need to try another kernel for sure, just not sure which one and hoping the update this week (if it gets released for Evo) fixes some things.

Have you tried reflashing? There is something going on with your phone, mine can sleep overnight and not lose a single % point.

Same here mostly. Sometimes I lose up to 4% while I sleep, but that's generally on the days I sleep in.

Damn you guys, now I'm more curious about MIUI. Lol

Updated more frequently?! Why? I've been skipping every other update, lol, because I think they update it too often!
Go to miui-dev.com and join in the fun. If you like tweaking, flash the mods and try out some themes.

The mods they have posted are kinda blah.
One bug I found is the time on the text messages is like 6 hours off on the popup and
where it displays all of the threads. When you go in to the message it displays the right time. Little bit of a pause on lock screen.
Overall this is the Best rom I have tried.
Just get 4G and I will never look back.

That's not a bug, it's a setting. Go to the text app, hit menu then scroll to the bottom and hit advanced. Scroll down to where it says Sort SMS by date and make sure that slider is off so it says sort messages by time received locally. That should clear that up.

This ROM WILL NEVER BE THEMED, THERE ARE TOO MANY OUT THERE THAT ARE AND EASY TO ADD TO THIS ROM IF YOU LIKE THOSE THEMES I PREFER STOCK, THIS ROM WILL BE UPDATED ONLY TO INCLUDE NEW FEATURES, IT WILL BE OPTIMIZED. I ASSUME YOU BOUGHT THIS PHONE FOR PURE GOOGLE EXPERIENCE AND THAT IS HOW IT WILL STAY.
First get ROOT HERE
This is a ROM i put together, it is stock, zipaligned, deodexed with the battery fix that displays proper battery charging status. Included is netarchy's kernal 1.3.2 CFS. This was taken from stock rom so everything works. This rom is voodoo supported and all features work flawlessly.
THANK YOU TO NETARCHY FOR HIS KERNAL, COMBINED WITH THIS ROM GETS A QUADRANT OF 3103 WHEN OC'D TO 1.3 smartass
Make sure to wipe all, including delvik, cache, and data. Flash and enjoy. Also i get the best results when i set setcpu to 200 min and 1.3 max.
V_1 http://www.4shared.com/file/ZTt2qKd7/Gerbal_ROM.html?
***Just a word of advice, i seem to get no performance boost going from oc'd 1.3 to 1.4, i think it affects the governor in a bad way.
I have parted with my Nexus S 4G due to connection, reception, issues that I couldn't wait for sprint or Google or Samsung to address. I will update this rom with tweaks and such but the base will not but updated as i have returned to the Evo forums.
Updated the bootanimation in the rom..you will have to redownload and flash for it to take affect or download the bootanimation and flash via adb to /system/media
I'm getting the Nexus S 4G tomorrow and will be giving this a try. I'm coming from the Evo and I hope the Nexus 4G gets just as much love from developers as the EVO did. I doubt it, but thanks kpkimmel for the Rom. Like I said I will be flashing soon!
So how does the battery tweak work? I understand the 93% full charge is a safety feature. Does the tweak offset the numbers?
Yes, it offsets, so it should show 100%
Updated adfree to current host.
When you have a chance mind posting some screen shots? Thanks
Very nice, smooth and fast. I've been trying just about everything that's been coming out for the NS4G and this is one of the best. Thanks.

Yes it is, saw it on another rom and like it. Part of battery tweak.
I like this ROM, did a few adjustments with setCPU (posted a thread in General with my slightly modified advanced settings) and my battery is doing well. Haven't had this phone for more than 5 days, but noticed better results than other roms.
Clean, quick, and a job well done. Thanks!

Any lag while screen off and turning back on after period of time? On NS4G I ran into issues randomly with screen turning on I would have little or huge amounts of lag... Tried several kernels and nothing helped... Keep having same issues. Running with ADW EX. Any suggestions on launcher besides stock?

No lag, maybe adw, not sure how compatible it is with gingerbread, havn't looked into it much.

I use Launcher Pro Plus, no issues at all. and in setcpu i have only one profile setup, its screen off max:400 min:100... any lower than 400 the screen doesn't turn back on.
same kernal included in rom (net's 1.3.2)
if you are having issues, try reverting to netarchy's stable release
i believe a BFS kernal is supposed to rid lag and latency, i dunno, i just use CFS, i feel its better on battery

CFS is better on bat, i havn't had any issues with the kernal provided but if you do have problems you can simply flash an alt. kernal.
thx for the quick response ev1. Ya I have tried the stable and beta builds and so far 1.3.2 CFS works the best on my phone. But any kernel I use I have lag from time to time.. I am starting to think its ADW EX issue now... FML I love it too.. Oh well I will try another and test out. But about to flash this ROM now to check it out. Thx again ev1 AND thank you for the work you contribute to the XDA community!! Much props.
Is there any way i can use the battery mod with stock rom? I'd flash this rom but i wanna stick with stock for a little longer since i just bought this phone.

[MOD] MIUI Extended Settings Mod

It's time for a change...I think some might like the changes others might not..
I've created an App. (it's my first one so no laughing!!!)
It contains the same options you know and love and a couple of new ones!!!
The idea of creating an App is to cut down on the number of files I have to tinker with each week. It was taking too much time. This way I only have to modify the SystemUI.apk and the Launcher2.apk and I'm done.
Those users who couldn't use this Mod because of the changes to services.jar should now be fine..
Couple of things to note..
The option to Hide the Debug Icon is missing. I'm trying to work out a way of hiding the icon without modifying services.jar
If you change the battery Top Bar you might notice a delay of a few seconds before it updates.. (Just me being Lazy)
The Auto Close feature is now standard with the Launcher so the option to enable it is no longer needed.
There are three version
ESCenter - Center Clock Version
ESSwitched - Center Clock, Notification and signal icons switched.
ESRight - Standard version with clock on the right as normal.

Hope you like it!!

i strong heartedly disagree with the above poster. I'm on MIUI atm, and I get one full day of use out of my SGS, with HSDPA enabled /always connected, lots and lots of browsing, phone calls, sms, yahoo and whatsapp messenger online almost 24/7, some games, some BT transfers and some Wifi.
then again, I do know how to customize my SGS with black themes and various other settings to extend battery life...btw, no underclocking or undervolting..
no way you're gonna get the same level of polish and the same experience on Eclair..
just my 2 cents...
cheers!

I would have to also tell you, yea there is...
Just because there are people like yourself who extremly are satisfied with it and consider it a top rom, doesn't mean everyone see it in the same light.
I stuck with MIUI with every version from 3 to the latest 5.3, it was my first ever custom rom, and as much as I wanted to like it I finnaly decided to give up on it for the foreseeable future. Even for someone who tried to like it was biased toward it it is more a gimmick rom for entertainment, than proper sgs rom you'd consider serious. Even tried to get my friends on it while I was on it, everyone hated it.
In my opinion it has great potential, but its still in its infancy. It is way to rough and misguided to be a good solid rom. Even going to a base 2.2 rom just rooted and lagfixed beats MIUI in almost every aspect. I finnaly don't feel like breaking my phone again. Almost every aspect of MIUI is different, which is where the appeal comes from, but somehow the difference is rarely for the better and it manages never to be as good even an original rom in terms of usability. At the moment I would consider it the poorest choice out of the the popular roms.
Since you will probably ask, the biggest downfalls off the top of my head I had with MIUI is unrelenting and completely unsolvable battery drain issues. This alone makes the rom not worth taking seriously. Calendar, the way you set your alarm, messaging, contacts etc, having to press double or more buttons to get to particular areas the stock phone does in 1, little things like that.
Laggy menus is another one.
I dont even want to get into how bad this rom is with the camera. Horrendeus software, menus etc, recording upside down, and on top of that it completely incapacitated the video recording of the phone. VErsion 5.3 and the videos still record at 3fps and the frames jump back and forward every 2 seconds as well...
heres miui on a good day for you.

thanks for this! is there any way to implement the "tv-out"-settings into this as well? galnet is speaking about fixing/implementing it into MIUI, but atm he can't, since there is no option to enable tv-out on MIUI.

Adding an extra option isn't that difficult. Getting that extra option to do what it's supposed to do is the tricky bit!!! )
If Galnet has managed to work out how to implement this feature I'm sure he's more than capable of adding an option to the settings menu but having said that I'm more than happy to help out if needed..

i understand that he can't test it because it's not in the settings menu..
I guess a "feet on the ground" option would be waiting for the official MIUI devs to support TV-out in future releases. Mind MIUI is still beta.

[VZW][Rom+Kernel] VZW EFO1 Better Than Life Confidence and Paranoia V2.0 Released 814

A....is for Apple
Updates
Gingerbread for Verizon, with 3G, and Full Root, and De-bloated. Also did TouchWiz 4.5. Oh, its the real Deal, the real Verizon EFO1 Gingerbread base.
Worked alot on this the past few days, trying to get it out as a suprise to you Verizon guys by thursday, but man.....my back and arms are killing me, had to take some breaks.
Before the details.....
I need to get on a knee here and thank DirtyDroidX, and P3Droid. Because if it wasnt for them, I wouldnt have this build, I would be releasing a hacked Sprint GB with a half working 3G. Also, Spacemoose for his continuing support, and help with the Kernel, recovery, the questions, the calls, it never ends for that poor guy.
I want everyone to go out, and buy the Team BlackHat app TODAY as a thankyou to them for delivering this much needed resource to me, and Donate to DirtyDroidX, and to Spacemoose, they all pitched in alot of work. Im serious, get the TBH app, donate to me some other day. Im doing this for you, not the money.
Ok, details.
This is EFO1.
Verizons Gingerbread.
This is not so much a leak (though it could be considered a leak by me, im not leaking it) This IS the EFO1 that TBH has released today, however, I worked it so much that P3Droid agreed that it is my build, so I felt confident and not paranoid ( lol ) about releasing my build today.
What did I do?
Debloated
53 pieces of CRAPWARE EFF YOU Verizon!!
TouchWiz 5
Full 100% without question Root (damn, it was a ***** to, however i cant believe my newb ass did it)
FULL working 3G !!!!!!!!
Version 1.0 of Confidence and Paranoia is running the Stock VZW Kernel and Recovery. Spacemoose is working on a Kernel Fix for this right now. As it stands, its Either 3G on Stock Kernel+Root, or Custom Kernel+Recovery and Root, I decided the 3G was more important
Seriously, donate to those guys, by the app, so my relationship continues to be good with them and I can get stuff like this, as it is, I am giving them all the source material they want from this, so dont be surprised if this is on the TBH soon.

Spacemoose, for his sexy phone voice, and constant answer to my unorthodox ways of doing things.
DirtyDroidX, for giving me the Leak to leak, and build what we now have
Fr4gg0r, for allowing me to use his TouchWiz 4.5 in my build, without his secondary apps, and allowing me to theme it. I left his donate button in the app.
Did I mention Dan, Spacemoose, Dan the man, man dan is the man. There, that kills off any chance of someone other than a newb thinking DAN is a chick. LOL

No, but coming, and FYI, this is the fastest, smoothest Rom I have had to date, its my daily now for sure.
works great
Well, all my market apps are back on, so far everything working nicely. Even Netflix.
Even Intuits GoPayment app works. Its very finicky with the card swiper. The stock kernel is great. I suspect when we get the overclocked kernel, things will fly even faster!

I will never release a flashable zipped product again. I find flashing with heimdall so much easier, stable, and I know it works. Plus I can drop in just specific files right away. And it cuts my dev time in half.

Having same issue with TW (was having it with the last build based from the Sprint update also). Freezes up when you long press the homescreen.
Great work though. Loving this rom, for sure the best rom to date for the VZW tab.

Did you guys do a full Wipe right after install?. I installed this on a few tabs back and forth ranging from Froyo installs to this, including the Sprint Rom im working on as well.
Also, I noticed the past few weeks, Gingerbread doesnt like SDCards for some reason, its a pain in my ass as my card is a 32GB, but I formatted the card prior to flashing so i would have a fresh SD Card. But I also have like 12TB on my computer to toss an SDcard onto. Sucks to, slow cards.
hey jim for soe reason im not getting 3g on the new release i did everything to the T but nothing any ideas? might that me a modem issue?

[Q] Any reason NOT to put CM on my E4GT?

So I went over and read the issues on CM.org and found MHL, dock audio, and JB modems don't work with any newer version of CM. MHL and dock audio don't worry me but the lack of JB modems does. I'm on a rooted stock ROM right now and the only complaint I have is poor battery life. I won't even get a full work day from my phone without charging in the car or at my desk at work.
Is it worth installing Cyanogenmod on my phone despite the shortcomings?

Legacy voice mail flags do not work on CM if you need that support.
And the speaker sound is horrid... Really depends on your preferences. I love loud sound, so I stick with TouchWiz.

Oh, right. I forgot about that. And the annoying text message I'd get after each VM comes in. Maybe I'll stick to stock with a custom launcher then.

If you want to stay stock/rooted....you need to put greenify and maybe DS battery saver on you're device... this should help with the battery drain... also look into any wake locks that might be contributing to the drain.
After doing this... if you would like to get even better battery life, as well as great sound... I suggest flashing project x... it's tw based and unbreakable, IMO. It's my daily driver, when not testing roms for somebody.
Let me know if you want to flash it and I can walk you through it... that way you get a smooth, clean install
Good luck and have a nice day..

I've gotten well over 24 hours on Project X with 4+ hours screen on time.
Damn really ? How because i used project x and only got about 8
---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------
Well I can't use it now because my phone won't except any jb roms
+1 on what Ryan said... I get the best battery by far on project x.
I'll hunt up some screenies I took..
If you notice.. I had airplane mode on. The reason for this was because I was getting bad service at my new job. So I would put it into airplane mode when I didn't need to use it... on average, about 3 hours on a normal work day.

Sprint doesn't use a text message to notify the visual voice mail anymore? I know on my Evo Shift it did.

I never said anything about visual voice mail. I said the CM didn't work with the legacy voice mail flag.

I still have one but the digitizer is going out. Touches register all weird... My kids play games in it.

Which KitKat 4.4.x ROM have you used on an SPH-D710 and would recommend?

A few years ago this seemed to be limited to either Cyanogen or a couple other ROMS, I had performance issues with CM9 and used a custom ROM instead. Now it seems like everyone has their own flavor and builds. I'm currently on a 4.1.2 ROM, I think it was SlimBean.
I'm just looking for a close-to-stock 4.4 ROM for Sprint Epic 4g Touch, that is stable and works. Does anyone have a ROM you have tried and would recommend?
I'm leaning towards Mookie or CM11
Thanks and sorry for the noob post.
Its not kitkat, but have you checked out Project X ? I am running KitKat on my nexus tab. Though have solid custom rom options that am bouncing between , really wish I could install Project X .

I had not, but I did some googling and it looks pretty nice. I may download it and give it a try.
I already installed CM11 VILLUMINATI. It was a bit tricky, but after following the steps at the bottom of page 77 of that thread, I got it running and it seems fine so far. CM always takes some time for me to get used to, so I'll run it for a few days and see how it goes.
Hope it goes well. Must say, battery life is crazy good and the highly customize-able launcher (can save settings and implement when flashing updates et cetera) @bilgerryan created are awesome - like borderline time for a tattoo time awesome. Not to mention the folks in the forum are cool - good people. Anyway, good luck with everything.

Thanks! So far, I only have a few issues with the build. I can't figure out how to get rid of the Google search bar at the top and I can't figure out how to scale the number of columns/rows on the desktops. Other than that, the lack of 4G is hardly noticeable, even here in Silicon Valley. Can't get Kies to restore my data via USB, going to try WiFi connection tonight.

From my experience, you can't do anything with kies unless you have the version of android that's originally on the phone. So it's either Kitkat or 4.1.2, bloatware, and kies. I think we both know who the clear winner is here! I've also been using the VILLUMINATI ROM and I've had exceptional battery life and fast response from my phone at the same time. As for the Google search bar at the top, I think that is permanent unless you download one of those custom theme app thingies (can't remember what they're called), but doing that kinda defeats the purpose of having Kitkat for me, as I absolutely love the new white theme with everything. I've also noticed that from using those theme apps before that they tend to drain battery fast.
EDIT: As for 'what rom I would reccomend' it would have to be VILLUMINATI, even though it's the only one I've used so far. It works, and it's good. I'll be using this rom until there is a better update somewhere, or if I find a game breaker somewhere.

You know there are custom TouchWiz ROMs out there don't you? With tons of extra features and no bloatware. I say try my Project X and see if you still go with the bug-filled AOSP ROMs with quiet mic volume and speaker volume. BTW Kies is useless, try using Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox next time.

Ok, I'll take a look at your rom later, thanks. Also, I have never really used kies except just to see what it was, I was just referring to the post I quoted.

Here are my two cents. Personally, I like VILLUMINATTI better than Mokee, mainly because Mokee has a weird thing it does when scrolling lists. It makes the lower list items really small, and expands them to full size as you scroll down a list. Cool looking once or twice, but not something I can handle on a daily basis. They are both extremely fast and smooth ROMS, and they use very little RAM, like 30% less! Just make sure to get the best ICS modem for your area (mine was FE22), update the GPS config file using FasterFix, and load in Textra so you can activate MMS easily. Of course, you'll loose 4G and dock connectivity with either ROM.
However, I can't use the 4.4 ROMS right now because they both have the same two bugs. Firstly, the Orientation Sensor doesn't respond correctly. Secondly, they don't communicate well with Google Glass (no phone calls). So I went back to Touched By an S4 ROM, which is a TW based 4.1.2 ROM that performs really well "out of the box".
Once those two bugs are fixed I'm definitely switching back to VILLUMINATTI CM11 because it unleashes this phones true capabilities.
Given the above offerings, coupled with the fact that only the individual user can make their own determination as to what is most stable for their device, going to close this.
XDA is not a support site as it relates to asking what is most stable, best etc, for roms and or kernels. This is because threads like these become places of arguments and trolling commentary.
All users are expected and encouraged to do their own research and review of development threads to arrive to the answer they need.
