Root [ROM][MS870] hybrid MIUI V5 ROM

[GameTheory]

MIUI Jelly Bean theme is up.

This will give you JB lockscreen, icons, clock widget, and wallpaper in MIUI style.

[THEMES][MS870] All MIUI Themes

I'll post screen shots in that thread.

hey GT, I'm having an issue with the lock screen. It says tap button to unlock. when i tap it, nothing happens.

I had this problem also, couldn't use my phone for like 4 hours till I could return to katana. Also when I was using that ROM it had parts of katana also, might of been a bad flash. Like it was trying to load nova also on top of the miui ROM.

Yeah this rom doesn't have nova. For it to flash correctly you must factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik. After flash you can restore call log, and messages, but not system settings from previous rom.

It's all good, MIUI roms are not for everyone. Usually only miui fans stick to it, like me. lol

Katana is less customizable, but just as good. If your happy with it, then that's all that matters.

Hey GT..hit me up. I got some wicked changes for myxer that works.

Thanks bro

I prolly wont be doing anything else. Everyone seems to be using CM as their daily with the exception of like 3 users including myself, who are waiting for CM to be 100%.

I guess doing anything more would be a waste of time and host space. lol

Katana User as well, I need my 4g

 

[GameTheory]

You know I can't have a rom without some key lime glow!

Was doing it for me for this rom, but might as well share when I'm done.

 

[GameTheory]

I changed the look for my own personal use, but if you guys are interested I can post it.

This will add a more MIUI look, but blacked out since I don't like white backdrops.

This thing is off the hook , I cant believe this is actually on my phone . Thanks a lot bro you are amazing .

What about the status bar stuff being orange like a orange theme for it and the contacts and dial pad I think will look cool too only if I knew how I would just to see how it will look but I don't lol

Go redownload myxer π. It has the orange contacts and dialer. Just pull those apks and copy over them in system/app.
Phone.apk
Contacts.apk
MMS.apk
System.ui.apk
And framework.... copy and paste them over your active system on the miui ROM from my Myxer π. Bam!!!! Reboot and profit......u know where to find the link. ;-)

My girl and I are still rocking katana too. This is a nice looking rom but not my style. When CM10 is finished then we may switch but until then.....
Katana is where it's at.
Sorry to go off topic

Would this work if I pulled them from myxer and installed them to Katana system/app?

 

[abootimg]

Yes. As long as there's no security signature. Back up first of course...but yes I'm 99% sure it'll work.

 

[GameTheory]

Ok guys I would like to get back on topic with this rom and no more talk about other roms here since they each have their own thread and place.

I'm bout to flash some changes I did. Hopefully they look good. I'll post some screenies if they do.

 

[GameTheory]

Ok so this is gonna be the new look for this rom. I'm also throwing in an app drawer for you guys that want one.

I'll be uploading the rom update. When it's done I'll let you guys know.

 

[GameTheory]

See Change Log in OP and screenshots in post above or in OP.

I just flashed it but now im having issues connecting to wifi APs. It just keeps trying to get an IP address.

It seems your internet provider doesn't allow you to use different dns servers. Long press on build.prop and select open with text editor and delete the last 5 lines that start with #google dns. Then reboot your phone and try to connect. This is a tweak I added for faster web browsing.

 

[ninjaunmatched]

Oh...sorry 4got to update. I tried using my Note 2 wifi tether to see if it would connect to it. It did as long as I had security turned off. Wouldn't connect with security on.

But only thing I'm running into this rom amd others is an issue with 4g. The phone stays at 1x more often. So far same result from Icy spirit & this one. Not sure why. It will take me a few days to be sure as at the moment it may very well be the area I'm currently in.

That's definitely the area your in because noone else has reported these issues. Icy rom is completely stock only deodexed with some things added so it's like being on complete stock. So chances are if you experience issues with Icy rom connecting to wifi then you'll have them on stock also. I guess in a few days you'll know for sure.

 

[GameTheory]

Have you flash cm10

If he did, then that's probably what's causing the issue. Good catch on that.

Here's what you need to fix it. Tinfoil, Super glue and a metal hanger.
Now fold the Tinfoil in to a shape of a pirate hat. Glue the edges so it holds together and than stick the hanger into the top of the hate. Put it on your head. Clime a tree and Yell "I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT!!" 3 times.

To be serious it sounds like you might be in a bad area. You can always revert back to stock using the unbrick. Also if you fooled around with CM10 that will mess with the 4g. you'll have to reflash CM10 and change the settings.

I'm leaning more away from the area as a problem. See there is a mall right and when we first bought it. Outside of the mall wow she had 4g even though with my Sprint note 2 I only saw 3g. Now...it stays at 1x near the same mall. And this is true with using Icy Spirit ROM also as I flash this rom as a fix but is the same result.

See I do know the areas she gets 4g cause well I don't get it so I been watching and playing with her phone getting an idea of the performance while trying to figure out whose system they are using. Must be Verizon I suspect but I hear June 12th things will get even better. I.e. Tmobile.

You what's funny? The one area I do get 4g on my Sprint note 2 she sees no 4g at all. I noticed this right after buying the phone.

What version of android is this ROM built on?
