[Q] MIUI force close - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I am running MIUI 1.5.13 and I am having nothing but problems. It worked well enough for a bit but now I am getting force closes every thirty seconds. To the point where it is unusable. On top of this, streaming media does not want to work correctly. IE, google listen is playing like ****, as is audio galaxy. Has anyone else had this problem? I have reflashed three times. Twice after doing a format with caulkins format all. Any insight that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Did you do a full wipe using amon 2.3 works great for such. What kernel you using? Stick to stock one that it came with see how it does . Then if u want try something different flash a kernel if everything is stable.

Redownload then reflash, you may have a bad download. Don't just use the format all, wipe too. I wipe everything except the SD card and battery stats. Or, if you're going to redownload anyway, download Stiff's version of 1.5.20. I just downloaded it last night, I'll be flashing it as soon as I put the final touches on my theme.
Steaming works fine for me, by the way.

I will try the above and see if that works. I am using the stock kernel currently. Strangely it seems to have stopped. I was running beautiful widgets and I just took it off (just the widget) and changed the vm heap to 40 restarted then changed it back to 64 restarted again and it is working. I was using 1.5.20 for a hot minute but I had a problem with a lot of it being in Mandarin still. Is there a good thread to check out for the best way to theme this rom? Thanks for all of the help!

I am using clockwork is amon ra superior? Everything I have read seems to say it is just a personal preference, but my noob ass is open to any suggestion.

Theming is super easy, especially if you have a base to start with. The theme I'm working on at the moment is mostly taken from other places then edited the way I want. A few pieces were actually made by me, but the framework was pulled from one theme, I'm using Aelous icons at the moment, but nothing else from that theme. I may change my mind and steal Raadius's status bar icons if I don't like the ones I'm using right now. I've themed the apps myself, using the official dark theme as a base. Even though I've switched back to WidgetLocker, I am using my own stuff for the lockscreen, just for those times that it pops up.
There are some themes over on Miui.us as well as the MIUI dev forums. I pretty much taught myself by using a complete sample theme and pulling the apks I wanted to theme - systemui, framework-res, phone, mms, etc. If you just want icons, they go in the icons folder of the mtz and should be named their package name and in png form. I'm sure there's a guide somewhere, but I don't know one off the top of my head. If you do find one, make sure it's fairly recent since they've been making a lot of changes to the UI.
Also, if you weren't using the miui.us English version of 1.5.20, try that one.

I am with you man, its the most unique rom i have used so far. Definitely gives it a nice look and feel. The great battery life doesn't hurt either

Can you explain the difference between format all and wipe?
I am helping a friend with his Droid Incredible. I have an Inspire 4G and have become very comfortable flashing ROMs on my phone. When I flash a new ROM, I boot into recovery and choose all of the format options that are available, then I mount the SD card and transfer the ROM to the SD card. Next, I install the ROM and reboot. This has worked great for me.
My friend used Urevoked to root his phone and installed MIUI using this same method and he is having a lot of issues with force closes. In some apps, like Dropbox, he can log in but it never transfers data. My research to help him out let me to this thread and then your post intrigued me.
Maybe I don't have an understanding of what is meant by a full-wipe. I thought the method I did with my Inspire was providing that task. Can you help me understand further.
I did pass the information about Amon Ra to him and he may try that.
Thanks,
Roger

[Q] SyndicateROM Frozen Theme--I want the default back!

I installed the no carrier IQ SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0 this week, and love it. It smokes, gives me more speed and finally I have a decent keyboard. I wasn't especially fond of the transparent pull down, so I flashed the stock theme add-on.
Well, that's all fine and good, works as promised, but I realize now that I would rather have the numerical battery indicator as well as some other minor mods that were in the original theme. Is there a simple way to return to the default theme for this ROM?
Cohiba asked a similar question in the monster thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194 ) but never got an answer. Or, at least, didn't get answered in the first 124 pages, and I did in fact read them all.
So, any advice? I guess I could reflash the ROM, then the kernel update, but that seems crazy compared to the 2 second theme flash that got me to where I am. I just want to undo the stock theme and go back to the default theme.
If you didn't backup prior to flashing theme you will have to wipe and flash rom again.

Try Emotionless Beast. Trust me, you won't regret it!
The battery icon, as well as all of the other icons are much cooler than stock or even the theme that comes with Frozen. Then you can use whatever launcher and wallpaper you want to get it where you like. MysteryEmotionz did a great job with this theme and it truly is optimized to work well with Frozen.
OK, I went ahead and grabbed Emotionless Beast (both files, to get the SFR update) and I'm running with it. It looks good, although I wish there were some simple way to make my gmail new messages stand out more. In the default app, they were bold and others were regular font, but now I have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the advice--I'll play with this all day, I'm afraid.
I am running this theme and love it.

usually you can just flash the rom again without a wipe and it will replace those files. Havent done it with this rom yet though so do a back up and maybe just clear cache and nothing else.

If the only changes were theme related just reflash the ROM without wiping.

Emotionless Beast is AMAZING on Frozen. There are also plenty of transparent/black mods in this form to really round it out nicely.

[Q] MIUI Plus Mod

so this was posted today over on the miui forums and it looks to be pretty cool. its supposedly designed for SGS2, but he says it should work for all phones. but i asked how to apply it, and the guy just said ''recovery''. in the OP, he edited it to say "you must mount system, data and sdcard before you flash it". i still have NO idea what it means, and he didnt clarify after i asked... so i wanted to know if my XDA family can help me out? how would i do this?
http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showt...-wallpapers-themes-amp-more&p=78555#post78555
just flash it in recovery and see what happens?
sounds like he is pretty sure it will give an error, side note it looks like a lot of bloat to me>
ya but you can go right into the files and edit what you dont want. i too am afraid of the warning. and i just had to wipe my phone last night because of stupid apps2sd epic failure... for the second time... i dont feel like doing that AGAIN. ill probably do THAT in a couple days LOL. unless, of course, i get some help here...
screw it, I'll try .... nothing to lose + I'm at work and would rather get paid to play with my phone than actually work
my down load speeds suck here so will try when able

you get a thanks for your bravery, and quick response.
i do not see any changes, no apps, no keyboards, or widgets. not to say i know anything, all i did was flash it in RA recovery and it installed. oh well my great experiment is over for now.
my findings are that will install, but what and to where??
popper668 said:
it installed! now lets see if it worked

im off to bed now, but anxiously await your findings!
well i tried again and in RA you mount "system" "data" and "SD card"
then flash the ZIP
i now have a LG keyboard.
23 new wallpapers
the themes are in theme manager
the puzzle lock screen works
and a bunch of ring tones
i see no widgets:
-LG calender
-LG news
-LG clocks (A - L-O-T) -
-LG weather clock
-LG world clock
-LG Today schedule
-LG Today schedule + Weather
-TypoCLock
OK I do believe this to be kinda cool..this will only work on MIUI 1.7.29 from what the op says
So then, it's basically useless, since 1,8,5 comes out today, which will have a whole new framework
I dont know, just fun to kill time with.
Maybe nothing below 1.7.29 We all know bigger is better

This looked promising,... but.... you support firerat rather than dta2sd?! I have seen sooo many posts from people who couldn't figure out how to recover from firerat. I'm def not saying you're wrong, and also appreciate your contribution hee. My only point is, if you think firerat is the way to go, I think it would be helpful for users for you to explain why/how. Just my. 02¢ thanks for your contribution.

That he did, and i'll post how to recover from it in the second post.
I personally don't like dta2sd because of the need to format your sdcard, creating wear on it.
moving data/apps/caches to the sdcard.. slows down your device unless you have a class 8+ card.
Again,Thanks for keeping Sense 3.5 Alive! Am I the only one who loved Bliss? I tried Runny for a few days and eh,I love Bliss! Is anyone planning on porting it again???
Nice man, really good to see someone else working on this. will try this out tomorrow.
It's really good that you've removed the theme. I think that no rom should be released with a theme as user preference is such a random thing not everyone is going to want a custom theme.
Anyway good luck and I hope you get everything working on this, I'm waiting for a working/decent 3.5 rom to use as a base still.
Thank you to everyone.
I wasn't expecting much support, honestly, since King's little rampage there.
And yes I will most likely pick back up on Bliss myself.
Bliss is an excellent base, if anyone has the v3 zip of bliss with working wifi, please do, and i'll continue development for it.
What's. Working in here?

Good work. looking forward to this.
Just flashed and I'm really excited to get this project rolling. Mostly everything worked but I didn't do a full test. I'm going to wait for a bit until everything gets ironed out to make this my daily driver. The only thing I could see didn't work was in the dock mode it wouldn't do a picture frame and the pen app wouldn't work. I was really hoping the would implement the wallpaper in the pin lockscreen back into 3.5 but i guess htc had other plans. What exactly is the Show Me app and the provisioning app?
hey Slawson check your PM brother mayne.
Just flashed to play around and I can tell this is gonna be siiiiiiiiiiickkk!! Can't wait to see what becomes of this!
Fantastic stuff. Will definitely keep a close eye on this project.
While I'm downloading, will Bliss' Quick Launch Widget work with this ROM?

Need help and or question about 3.5 sense

Well for about 2 weeks I have been running nocturnals bliss version 6 and I love it. There's bugs yes but the smoothest Rom I have had since I can remember. It's a great Rom just needs more bugs worked out but I can't seem to figure out why no ones doing it anymore. It's a great Rom and I have tried other 3.5 and nothing matches up. I love the two buttons app drawer and the call and the quick lunch. But over all its so smooth. So I'm just wondering if anyone picked this up or want to with me or if there's something that's the same but different. So just pm or message me if you guys have any ideas or want to help ect. So please help.
Sent from my EVO running bliss v6 3.5 sense using XDA App
Can anyone help me? Simple stuff needs fixed like usd disk drive wont pop up and that if you turn off or reboot the phone all the apps you installed get uninstalled but the app manager says there still in stalled just no as like facebook mor like .comfacebook and has a picture of the android market. So all in all can someone help me?
Or can someone help me with putting the little features like the app drawer button and the phone button on the main screen on another 3.5 sense rom? Because thats the best part other then the quick launch widget and how smooth it is. So anyone please help.
I don't specialize in sense, but you may want to back it up and try another sense rom, as nocturnal pulled their work on that rom due to drama basically.
Well can someone point me in the direction of fixing up this rom my self or mod others to have what i love about this the most?
those sound like some big bugs. dono if you want to try another rom as others mentioned but im running fearmede, they just released rc1 last noight after numerous betas and its butter, sense 3.5 and the fastest smoothest rom ive had so far.
But none of them have the two buttons thing that is my favorite.
You could try extracting the framework-res.apk and then flashing it in the new rom.

You'll have to move it to the /system/app directory I believe, and once you replace it, you'll most likely get fcs immediately, just reboot at that point.

Chilys pacman rom problems

Noticing a few problems. With the new pac
Cm10 themes don't stick for the status bar. Switching menus causes colors to default green.
SD card randomly unmounting. I have reverted back to cm7 due to this. SD card never has problems on cm7.
And dpi changing only works in Landscape.
Quick question, any chance we can get a contacts app with facebook fix integrated?
Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you in regards to the dev. forum. I had a small issue as well and I'm not sure if it was just me or what. When I flashed PAC3, I used the goo.im app to find the appropriate gapps for the phone, and it (several times) found the 4.1.2 version from October 2012. This caused the process, com.google.startup (I think) to crash as well as the setup wizard. The only fix was to pull the battery, boot into recovery, and start again with the 4.2.2 gapps in his thread. Maybe a quick note in the OP about not using goo.im or fix for goo.im to find the correct gapps would be helpful. I figured goo was third party so its probably not an issue Chilly can fix.
All that said. I've been DDing your roms for a couple of months now and they work wonderfully. No lag of death, good battery life, and all the features as advertised. As soon as I can post in the dev forum I'll be sending many thanks your way. I very much appreciate your dedication to the dinc2!

In order for a theme to stick it nerds to be aokp as well as cm10.1. Try the cobalt themes. Sticky real good.
The SD card issue is easy. Its the read ahead speed set at boot. Make sure set at boot is checked. Worked for me.
FB doesn't like open source platforms so much. They like to stick with sense. I know sucks to be us. As far as I know no way to get em yet.
Don't trust goo its in the op which gapps to use n even has a link.
Hope this helped.

Thanks to both of you for your work with this device. It's awesome that a 2 year old phone is still getting some love. I just wanted to let people know what was going on because I do some app development and am pretty well versed in the world of android, despite the fact that I've never developed roms or anything like that. I've read everything in the thread and it was just a bit unclear that goo might not do the job, and for others that don't realize to grab the gapps from the op, I just wanted to clarify. Thanks again for both of your great work and dedication to this device! :highfive:
