Root [ROM][ICS] MIUI V4-2.9.14 alpha 4 (9/16/12)

Hey Biker,

That is EXACTLY what I did, and I had the same result. Dead phone. Absolutely dead.

I too have complete confidence in these developers, or else I wouldn't be back.

I just hope this doesn't affect anyone else, and someone can figure it out.

I'm back to using CTMod because I do like to have gps for stuff like My Tracks. But I am still testing these roms. I just won't wipe the sd card.

Copy that. "I just won't wipe the sd card". lol.......My sd gets wiped via PC from now on. :D

Gonna be interesting to see what LG has to say about the phone. If they get it to power up w/o wiping it first they are gonna get a big ole glimpse of a themed out MIUI ROM! lmao OUCH!!:eek::eek::eek: One of the first things they'll do is probably wipe it though. I HOPE! :D:D:D:p:p:p;)

I'll let you guys know what's up as soon as I hear something from them. Hopefully a brand new phone will show up in the mail. Not looking forward to rooting that bitch though. :rolleyes::D Oh well, whatever happens happens. I'm just gonna roll with it.



EDIT!!!!

Oh SNAP!! I just realized that I went over 3000 .....103 posts ago.
:party:


EDIT:

Received email confirmation that LG accepted mt phone today. Hopefully I'll have it back soon.

i keep reading around that the MIUI gets incredibly bad battery life. Is this true with this release?

I like ctmod becuase of the battery life. what should i except from switching over when this is more stable?

its not bad. my phone's been off the charger for 5 hours and 30 mins and its at 86%.

thats with the cpu at 220/1360/ondemandx and using tapatalk/gmail for a while.

Just wanted to mention that the app juice defender causes the phone to reboot when trying to open it to set it up(maybe just me, who knows). Not a big deal though I just deleted it.

same problems here, actually i need juice defender, it really help me
-
i have a problem about the network, if my phone idle for some time the i use the network for browsing it said that the network is not connected, after reboot it becomes normal again but after idle i get the problem again.

maybe it just me, in my place both 3g and 1x signals are so poor,

I have been looking into my video playback problem and it seems that this is quite common in MIUI V4. I have tried a few software players and although they get a little farther they all have problems and I get the error Sorry this video cannot be played back. I also tried VLC Direct and Plex to see if I could get streaming to work as VLC Direct has the option to use an external player but still no luck. It looks like MIUI does not have the codecs installed in the rom to enable playback. (Correct me if I'm wrong) That is why you need a software decoder such as media player installed.

What are that possibilitys this from meshes up my phone lol :). ?

I wouldn't release it if it would brick anyones phone. and you can always go to CWM and restore a backup or flash a different rom if you don't like it.

Interesting. I have found that if I am on Wi-Fi, when I switch back to 3g it says I am connected but no data flows. Let me know if you would like a log at.
