Root [ROM] n_i_x's MIUI - "Complete UI Overhaul"

necosino · Sep 24, 2010

NOTE: This is NOT my ROM. This is n_I_x' port of MIUI's ROM over on XDA. I felt that this ROM is just so awesome that it deserves a thread here to follow its progress and bring more attention to it.

All credit goes to the original creators of the ROM, MIUI.

Current version: 0.9.30.1

Here is a video: YouTube - Android 2.2 ROM MIUI for Desire and Nexus One

Instructions: Root and do a Nandroid backup (of course)

1st) Flash Radio.img
Froyo Radio.img: REQUIRED
2.15.00.09.01

2nd) Flash hboot 0.92
hboot 0.92: RECOMMENDED
PB31IMG.zip

3rd) Download ROM. Clear Cache and Data, then install ROM.
Version 0.9.30.1

4th) Download and flash fixes (You can download all and flash back to back)
Force close in Settings
Camera crash on 720P

Installed Apps:
Google Apps
Additional ringtones

Features:
Working Bluetooth calls (Streaming audio doesn't work)
Working Wifi Tether
Menu+Vol Down for screen shot (Saved to SD/MIUI)
Deleting an icon from stock launcher uninstalls the program
3 power bar options (Including an across-the-top version like from WinMo)
Apps2SD
720P Recording does work.

Issues:
Internal storage (EMMC) does not mount correctly
Camera .apk does not allow 8MP. 3rd party camera apps do.
Bluetooth cannot stream audio
Market is not showing Verizon
Launcher FC's on initial boot and every reboot
Very, very few Chinese options still present.

Semi-Issue: Stock apps cannot be removed from the home screen on the stock launcher (since this is the same as uninstalling them). You can move them to other screens, or use adb rm or mv to get rid of the ones you don't want. (I'll post a list of the adb commands later).

For those that want the Original MIUI messaging (with some Chinese present), xVenom89 has provided a link to it here. Install using adb push

Thanks for this thread - downloading and installing it now

EDIT: installed.....rebooting.....

I like the splash screen.....

howarmat · Sep 24, 2010

thanks! so many options showing up now....what to choose lol

I'm sure the MIUI developers would take issue with the assertion that ID created this ROM. The launcher and ROM are both MIUI creations, and ID gave us a better-functioning port.

Not minimizing his efforts, but he didn't develop this.

Also, I've yet to see confirmation that 720p recording works on the DInc.

I may have missed it, I've read too many posts on this ROM over at XDA, but is this deodexed? Looking forward to trying it out this weekend when I have some time.

ACD168 · Sep 24, 2010

Very true.

also, here is a link to the thread on xda in the nexus one section for a flashable zip to translate most of the chinese to english

You're right. While ID did put in the CDMA framework, MIUI are the actual creators of this ROM. I'll update the OP.

i just read your post and was wondering myself, and then looked at the link i just posted up, and the title of the thread "[ROM] MIUI 0.9.24 | Stock | Deodexed | No Translations" answers that question haha

Thanks JWorth, this is already step 4 in the OP.

You can see how everything was thrown everywhere, hence why I made this thread, to put it all in 1 place for everyone.

JWortH · Sep 24, 2010

again, heres a link to a post in the ID's xda thread that has a couple of patches

xda-developers - View Single Post - [ROM] IncDoes MIUI - "Complete UI Overhaul" [v0.2] sep/22nd

OP, maybe you can put this link and the previous on i posted in the first post?

Credit where credit is due, even if there may be some gingerbread crumbs in the MIUI ROM...

Argent · Sep 24, 2010

this is very interesting - it will take some getting used to no app drawer though

currently running through restoring everything via Titanium

ACD168 · Sep 24, 2010

Jworth ur really confusing me lol

well i gave in, flashed it and then flashed english and it just popped up

Yeah, I threw LauncherPro and HomeSwitcher on there. I use LP for day-to-day, but when I want to show off I switch to the stock "Launcher," lol.. This is truly the love/hate child of iOS and Android.

Argent · Sep 24, 2010

yeah - I have launcher pro plus just have to figure out how to setup everything

its seems visually more polished than the stock OS -but you're right - it's like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates got married in New Hampshire and adopted a Chinese baby and raised it themselves in a hut in the Amazon forest

Let me know how the Titanium restore goes, and if any of your apps FC after doing the restore. I can't get my gameloft games to run, except Asphalt.. hmm..

LOL

I saw that too. That thread is N1 based so I was curious about the Incredible port.

as soon as it's done restoring stuff - I'll poke through the apps and see what works and what doesn't

ACD168 · Sep 24, 2010

Pretty cool to give it a go, once an all english port comes ill proably give it some more play time, but it was cool for a minute. just not my style..

Yep, this is De-Odexed as well. This ROM just has the CDMA framework put in. There's a newer release on XDA that is Odexed, although this one seems really good and unless the new version has BT working, I'm going to keep trying to fix this one (EMMC and get 8MP enabled).

Did you follow through with step 4? There should be almost no Chinese left.

ACD168 · Sep 24, 2010

There wasn't much Chinese left no, but things like no being able to delete that icon off the desktop was buggin me.

Ah, I had forgotten about that. Stock installed apps can only be uninstalled with adb mv or rm. Removing them from the stock launcher is the same as uninstalling, and they put them into the /system/app directory instead of the normal app install directory (I can try to change that, too) so you have to use adb to remove them.

You can still move them to other screens though where they're more out of the way.

I use LP, so it's not a big deal to me.
