I´ll try to upload a separate framework. Lights from 2.2 are already on rom
I need to update files from bootmenu, tried and got bootloops. Rom now is with bootmenu with SD bugs.

What SD bug? can't mount SD in CWM ?

Yep, rom is running on 4.0.14 with the start adb / kill adb trick to get SD support on cwm.
Im looking at the decompiled framework, should I edit every values folder? There are like 40

Hey, I'm using r2beta0's MIUI rom. So I can just update to this one wiping Dalvik cache and cache, right?

Yep. It should be OK.

Yes, it would be fine. Remember that bootmenu included in r2beta port has problems applying updates. It can´t mount /temp and would give you error. Change your bootmenu/cwm before updating.
I still can´t gent to mount RW in rootexplorer. Don´t know if it´s the version Im using, or other thing.

Dont know, Im flashing some test files right now, will check when It finish...

Su works ok for me.

Yes, su works, but I tried some apps that needs root, and dont ask for root permissions. Maybe it´s a problem with superuser.apk?

Apps on my phone that ask for root privilege are workig with no problems, including rw on rootexplorer. I used titanium backups to restore.

Thanks for reporting, will test further.

how much of a chance is there of bricking? is it a big risk? currently on cm7 latest build, if i flahsed and then wiped data, cache and dalvik, would i have less of a chance? silly questions i know
thanks anyway

The same chance than with any other rom
But you know, there are people that screw things beyond imaginable reasons

Tanks man!!!

Actually it is realy hard for a stupid guy to perma-brick Milestone 2, thanks to the locked bootloader...
You can always go to bootloader mode and flash an SBF.
Just make sure you don't mess with /pds (this has your IMEI and is unique to each device) and some /dev/block/mmc1p* partitions.

Yep, If you know the basics, it should be hard to break it.
Some pc's dont like rdslite, dont know why. Just be careful to cover the basics before flashing your phone.
Guys, do you like miui? It's so nice this ROM. Maybe is not the fastest, but the work miui team did, it's amazing.

[NIGHTLY] Cyanogenmod 6 (Froyo) for vendor Bravo (HTC DESIRE)

[highlight]Mod Edit: This thread has been closed as per the OP's request. Please refer to the last post of this thread for more information.[/highlight]
http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/nightly/bravo
Those above are nightly build from cyanogenmod bravo vendor, codename for our dear HTC Desire
Starting from 08/07/2010, CM6 for Desire is built against latest RADIO features, so please don't report bugs / issue here, neither in Cyanogenmod's forum, if you are still using an obsolete RADIO package.
Newest official radio package ( 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 ) is recommended.
* For Orange users: using latest RADIO can cause your device to became SIM-locked again, beware. Go unlocking your device or stay with obsolete radios, that's your choice. *
There are no Google Apps bundled with CM ROMs, because Google asked Cyanogen to remove copyrighted apps from his roms, but you can find Google ****s HERE.
Flash this package on the recovery after flashing the ROM, and you will get these applications / services.
Dalvik suggested heap is 24 Mb, please revert it to 24 if different and reboot, 32 causes issues with some apps.
What it is working good:
3D works (tested with Google Earth, NP)
No white noise and echo
Adobe Flash is available in market & working, test done with http://m.flash.com
Latest SuperUser APP + Root is present, perfectly working (tested with "su" inside Terminal emulator)
Chrome to Phone (if not on Market, check HERE)
Exchange administrator features
Cyanogenmod Enhancement / Settings:
Froyo a2sd setting, force application to SD / Internal mem / manually move
Modify Aptic feedback
Player control during lock screen
Trackball / Menu Wake / unlock
Render effect with color calibration
Fully customizable levels for brightness / autobrightness
Status bar / Notify bar colours customization
90 / 180 / 270 rotation
Fully manual settings for audio attenuation when call is received
"Tap to focus" feature in Photo Application (Sense-like)
Bug tested by me, with cm_bravo-08242010-005229.zip, after a complete wipe:
Goggles FC
Video Camcorder FC
Gallery 3D is oversaturated, and too much contrast! Red color is killing my eyes!
Gallery 3D have some "ghost" empty spaces between folders, and it FC sometimes after a new wallpaper is set (usually in landscape mode)
YouTube HD Videos and MP4 have purple bar FIXED with latest radio
autobrightness works, but it doesn't scale brightness down until screen is turned off fixed with latest builds, use "light attenuation" inside CM Settings, User Interface, brightness settings
Buttons backlight not working
No Facebook Sync flash latest google parts or just update from the market
Twitter sync actually appears under "Accounts & Sync", but there is an error with syncing your contacts with Twitter status & pictures
No LED notifications
Tested from users on XDA:
white noise, echo during call
Trackpad occasionally dies (can you check, when your trackpad is dead, if your headset works? )
Bluetooth A2DP issues (stereo headset, car kit, ... ) (should be resolved with nightly > 28/07, please check
VPN issues
"java.io.IOException: Permission denied" in logcat when trying to export colors to XML in CyanogenMod settings
Screenshots
TO BE UPDATED
Other addictions:
- Black bar / notify bar, no flashing required. Just place it in the root folder of your micro SD, apply from Cyanogenmod Settings / User Interface / Extra modifications / Import from XML, and reboot. Just get the XML HERE
- Custom backup for A2SD (so you don't have to flash it on every nightly): HERE
- Re-adding Launcher 2: HERE
- Segoe Windows Phone N Fonts: HERE
- iPhone4 look-alike Fonts: HERE
- hosts update 15 July for removing ads / banners: HERE
FINAL ADDENDUM:
- A2SD, flash THIS just after ROM. Download some info application, check free space. Run:
Code:
su
a2sd install
In Terminal emulator.
After reboot, check free space.
Install some app: space shouldn't decrease very fast.
If it decrease a lot, something is not working.
Run:
Code:
su
a2sd check
for checking which is the matter.
Usually
Code:
su
a2sd repair
will be able to repair an old A2SD installation, and
Code:
su
a2sd cachesd
will force the dalvik-cache on SD. Very useful, if you ask me.
Please report non-mentioned bugs in this thread with a SIZE 7 RED TEXT, so I can see it better (I'm short sighted ) !
Thank you
Addendum:
Copied over from the other thread!
Camcorder force closes, dialler works, and wifi works. Light sensor seems fine to me too.

Nope, with cyanogenmod you will never find google apps, even in final builds. You will always have to flash them apart
Once you put gapps on it makes it look more like the phone we know again. lol
Edit: F/B sync doesn't work, and the led turns Green at 90% charge.

Just flashed the package, will test them as soon as it boots. Until now only video recording is broken.
nvm. 10charlimit.
If someone has been experiencing echo/white noise with Froyo roms previously, can they report whether they are finding this occurring with this please?
Automatic brightness is sort of broken: you have it to tinker a little with it to make it working.
When it works, it only goes up automatically: you have to make the device sleep to make brightness go down again.
A2SD legacy way (trasparent to OS) is not activated: I automatically let it download my apps, and when it finished, I had 30 megs free.
I will try to break my installation now, just trying tremor a2sd script
Don't try it, it won't work (still... I'm reporting everything to the tremor thread).

That's quite clever: most phones, even high end (Nexus one or our Desire) actually have a very pooooo 512 flash memory.
Instead, everyone can get a 4/8 GB Class 6 SDHC memory for not more than 20/30 EUR.
It would be stupid to still leave everything on ROM...
Froyo-way A2SD is just the starting, and it would be good only for GB devices owners that doesn't want too give away too much space for games!!!!
Testing 07 / 07 build
How is the rom? Is it fast/smooth? How is the 3D performance & animations?
I haven't used CM since my HTC Magic so a little review will be good
the KING of custom rom's cyanogenMOD is Back
Can't wait to install this on my Desire
Hardly waiting for Cyanogen MOD 6.
Want to use a original ROM of him since i testet a port on the Hero =)
Cyanogen u do it =)
YES!!!
Woken up to expect froyo sense...
And I get cm. THis is truely a good time to have a desire.
Full Root next maybe?

Grey 100-step batteries for WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread V6

Ok,
Since people have had some problems with losing reboot options, xloud, etc. from flashing older packages I am going to remove them & make this thread exclusively for Wolfbreak's 2.3.3 rom v6 (or latest). As of now it is the rom I use and the only one I can test properly and guarantee working. I am only including the framework-res.apk in these zips and not framework.jar or android.policy.jar, etc. so they will not add functionality to other roms and will only work with roms that share the same features as WB's.
Remember you can make a theme with a percentage battery at UOT kitchen or use one of the other mods or themes around if you have issues.
*Note-You will not need to mount anything special when installing these. Flash as a custom zip in xrecovery as you normally would.
Zipaligned,for her pleasure.
Grey Battery Icon with Percentage
Flash as a custom zip with xrecovery
Download: WB_v6_GreyBattery.zip
PLEASE remember to back up your phone before installing!!
Grey Super Circle with Percentage
Flash as a custom zip with xrecovery
Download: WB_v6_GreyCircle.zip
PLEASE remember to back up your phone before installing!!
Other versions reported working:Here
Icons are from Fightspit's thread and UOTK
Thanks to MrRusch & _calum_ for doing this originally
Thanks Frosty666 for initial screens & testing
Thanks to 10asseye & zorglub08 for the icon fix & keeping up with this when I wasn't.
Hit "Thanks" if you use it
Great work, we needed something like this. The default battery icon is useless.
I'm just backing up and downloading now. I will report back in about 10 minutes with the results. I'm using Wolfs's 2.3.3.
EDIT:
Works fine on Wolfs 2.3.3. Only one small bug; when charging, on the lock screen where it displays the battery level, the icon is slightly cut off at the top and bottom. No biggie though. Good work AyDee.
Screenshots are attached.
Great, thanks for confirming! Between my daughter's birthday and other stuff I haven't had a second to sit down & flash the SE 2.3 yet.. Tomorrow!!
I will fix the icons that are cut off and make an xrecovery zip soon.
And hopefully we'll see some themes pop up in the next few days using this
This is now flashable via xrecovery.
Also, the lockscreen images should be fixed.
Sorry for the double-post... Cheers!
Flashed worked absolutely fine.

Handset will reboot while you long press the power button to invoke the power menu with Wolfbreak's GB_V06.
I have installed new Wolf firmware 006 and this Battery Mod crashes when you press power button.
I was loving this circle mod until I started to investigate (why crashes with Wolf Mod) and If I can solve it and I found A VERY STRANGE THING (for me):
Can you tell me why do a battery mod that only changes Notification Icons does need ALL this strange permissions?:
*Your Personal Information: read contact data, read user defined diccionary, write contact data
*Services that cost you money: directly call phone numbers
*Your messages: modify Gmail, read Gmail
*Your location: coarse network/gps location
*Network communication: control near field communication, create Bluetoot connections, full internet access
*Your accounts: use te authentication credentials of an account
*Phone Calls: read phone state and identity
*Hardware controls: change your audio settings, record audio
*Systems tools: bluetoot admin, change Wifi state, change UI settings, disable keylock, modify global system settings, mount and unmount filesystems, prevent phone from sleeping, write access point name settings, write sync settings.
I fixed the charging/low battery icons, one pixel line was cut at the bottom.

WTH are you talking about? How are you even trying to install this? If you are trying to install framework-res.apk with an app installer it won't work. Framework-res.apk may need those permissions since it tells the ui how to behave for all of those actions but I honestly have never dealt with permissions when installing.

Awesome, got your PM & I'll update soon.
I originally made this since UOT Kitchen was down and there was no circle battery mod out yet. I will continue to update it to make it easy to just download & install, but remember you can make a theme with a percentage battery at UOT kichen or use one of the other mods or themes around if you have issues.
Cheers!
*Edit- There is a fix for Wolfbreak's 006 rom, see OP
Yes i did installed with xrecovery in update 005. But when I've installed firm 006 at first circle battery wasn't functioning so i tryed to extract it and install the apk only to check if that helped and this permissions issue came up... I really dont like that this mod has all this permissions.

Suggestions for custom rom makers/stock rom mods.

Hello everyone,
As it seems that I really like writing a lot (in English especially) and writing guides (my job requires a lot of standards), I thought of creating a guide for devs/custom rom makers/stock rom modifiers.
This guide is not something that I want to impose, these are just suggestions and I will also include some known issues around here. So, let's begin.
1. Bootanimation
This can be selected as you wish. Any bootanimation other than the standard one should be fine. Or, if you want, you can provide more animations and a short guide on how to change bootanimation.zip and where.
2. Lock Screen
Removing the HTC Lockscreen will lead to the default android Gingerbread one. Now this one's buggy. Like hell. For example, pull the right slider (the one with the sound control) to change the profile to vibrations. Now you can see that the slider is hanging from the top, pointing to bottom (can be fixed with a phone restart).
Example:
3. Missing caller screen when phone is locked
If you have the default lockscreen you will notice that there is no incoming call screen displayed when the phone is locked (that or I removed too much stuff). Keep this in mind.
4. Icons/Notifications
Even though the default Gingercroissant (too much bread) looks black, if you pull the status bar (taskbar) you will notice that it turns back to white-grey (the default HTC Sense/ChaCha) one. Keep this in mind when adding icons/notifications. (picking white icons will render them barely visible)
5. Applications
Most devs/modders prefer to add their most liked applications and integrate them into the ROM (so that you cannot uninstall them from Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications) which kinda sucks since not everyone uses/likes the same stuff (it's called "taste"). Basically I am suggestion to add only SuperUser and let the users install their own apps (Titanium, Messenger, GPS, etc.). For example I have my own Titanium Backup.apk (it's personalized) which I want to install - cannot be installed if Titanium is already present though.
6. Google Sync
Some of us like to have the Google account synchronized with the GMail server and I would suggest leaving the Google Contacts Sync and Calendar Sync in the rom (they can be removed later). It's easier to remove than to search the internet and add them separately.
7. Bloatware
News, Weather, Mirror, Stocks, News&Weather (Yes, 3 different applications for the same stuff), HTC Likes, HTC Hub, Downloads, Facebook, Peep, Tweeter, GTalk.. There are more, of course (for example I have also removed Live wallpaper stuff since I don't use Live wallpapers, skin picker, skin scanner, profile widget, ringtone widget, and more) and it should be taken into consideration this question: how much is really enough?
8. Link2SD and ext-partitions
Well, since custom roms do allow the use of ext and Link2SD I suggest using them as much as possible.
I do hope that this could help some of you (or mocked by others) but any feedback is welcomed.
Excellent suggestions! I'd also like to keep the HTC Sense widgets, as I find them quite useful. HTC Likes & HTC Hub can be removed, as they don't provide much use. Cheers.
Applications bundled with a rom can still be easily uninstalled, provided that the rom maker knows how to, and puts the apks inside an /data folder. Mounting and extraction is similar to that of the /system partition. The profit of this is the uninstallability (nice word, huh?) Of the added apks, the downside is of course that a data wipe will remove these applications. Ideal would be a /system rom base update.zip, and an applications.zip containing all the added applications the developer likes, to be extracted into /data. Just sharing my thoughts..

i have been customizing my rom based on the stock, but this was one of the irritating parts. finally, i have decided to use the original htclockscreen.
to change the icons in the lockscreen, you don't need to have rosie installed. all you need is simply to add setting.xml in /data/data/com.htc.lockscreen/shared_prefs. (i did it in init.d)
the format of setting.xml is as follow:
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>

1. Power off is not working properly
2. if charging turned off phone, then the phone gets stuck and needs to remove battery to start.
3. my '@' sign has been moved to '~' button and dollar has changed to pound

What do you mean by 1. ?
For 2. get the latest CWM, it's a recovery issue and has been fixed.
rom makers should not remove Gtalk, It is Incredibly hard to restore it once removed. and all just to save a few KB of space...

Thanks for trying my custom rom.....
1) what do you mean by this? does your power off button not showing the power options? if yes, you need to press and hold the button for 2 to 3 sec for the power option menu to show up
2) As alex stated, you need to flash the latest CWM recovery
3) what CID you have? what did you changed.
And did anyone know how to move this post to the original ZASA thread?
I've done the same thing you are doing over here and, beside Link2SD removing the Sense UI and things, i've removed even the default E-Mail client, News, Meteo, HTC Clock Widget, Facebook, Peep, Latitude, Messages Widget, Inform HTC, Meteo Widget, Music Widget, HTC Sense, Street View, Home Suggestions, HtcTrendsWidget, Photo Widget, Meteo Sync Provider for HTC, Ringtone Widget, Animated Wallpaper Selector, Sense Plugin Manager, HTC Meteo Wallpaper, HTC HubSync Provider, HTC Report Agent, HTC CheckIn Service.
Instead i've installed:
Kingsoft Office
Facebook for Android (From the PlayStore)
GoLauncher EX (i had an unlock bug, but i still see the volume button as you; i will change the lockscreen)
K-9 Mail
GoClock Widget
Quadrant Standar
* Winamp
Link2SD
Battery Indicator
Terminal Emulator (thinking about change it)
SuperUser
---------
*Thinking about removing "Music"
The reason for doing this is as simple as "You don't use it, you don't need it" and battery life ( IMPROVED! ).
---------
I'm having problems with the fB button, but i will fix it with the .apk that let's you choose what for to use it. I don't really need a fB button. Trying to make it sync the mails atm.
BTW, it was pretty hard to get it rooted and CWM installed. But i've done it!
If anyone needs help, pm me.
p.s. Keep the stock ROM, it's way better than everything atm.
p.s.s. i've used for work for 2 days so far and it's doing his job very well. F* BB&WP7 )

This support with zeppelinrox supercharge?
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
i didnt include it. i`ll see what i can do next week.
Is this based on your update to DannyDroid's MIUI version or Galnet? And what's the difference anyway?
Which MIUI-flavor would you recommend in terms of stability and speed?
Thanks for your hard work - good to see new dev's working on the stone!
it is based on miuiandroid version with the usual improvements (ext2, for example.).
i thought of using galnet version but since miui is a closed source, galnet can`t really do much with it. and, it comes with unnecessary apps.
anyway, i`m still new to this and i hope to improve with each version
thanks do you how to enable 5 point multitouch in miui?
another question for hardware keyboard, when i press alt+g its output is "-" not "%",same for all others, can u fix this?
nim, why don't you combine your ROM with hebmiui ROM?
it could be very helpfull
or at least explain to us how do you app2ext on miui, I couldn't make it, thats why I'm using your ROM, wich is very good btw!
Checking the new one for few days and will reply. seems nice and smooth!
Just flashed this ROM today because i wanna try out something new
first, i'm very impressed by its speed. though it's by no mean as fast as CM7 and FM, it is fast for a MIUI rom. The horrible lags that pretty much killed MIUI for me are not there (or maybe there but are subdued somewhat). So if super high speed is not one of your concern, you can flash this rom for a change
Other than that, I will have to further test it and see how. it's not laggy so much as to push me back to my CM nandroid :x

Installation
0. Make backup of apps, sms and any other important things that you cant miss.
1. You need to have CMW recovery installed
2. Copy zip to memory card.
3. Boot into CWM recovery: Hold volume down while turning on phone
4. Make wipe data / factory reset
5. Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard -> choose zip with ROM.
6. DO NOT wipe data now, because some apps are installet to /data/app and wipe will delete them.
7. Reboot system now.
If you want to use Xposed Framework, run Xposed Installer, install framework and reboot.

Reserved for future use...
Thanks a lot.
Just installed it (see other thread).
Haven't really played with it yet but I'm hopefully moving from my Huawei Ascend G300 U8815 to the Haier W910 running this ROM over the weekend and handing my G300 down to somebody.
Token donation in recognition of the work done sent via PayPal. It might just about buy a beer - but it's a long time since I visited the Czech Republic so I don't know what the price is these days! :laugh:
OK - I've played with this a bit more and am having two significant problems...
On wifi networks that work fine with other devices and have good signal strength I often get "Temporarily avoiding poor connection" and so get no connection.
Edit: oh - just realised that I should probably disable the "avoid poor connections" option in advanced wifi settings. Maybe when enabling the wifi connection the signal "seems" (?) weak so then the device decides to ignore it...?
For the life of me I cannot configure the APN to get carrier data working. My operator is 48 months/Go Conquer - an Irish MVNO operating on the O2 Ireland network - and I am very familiar with setting this up on multiple devices but no matter what I do here I cannot get it working. Unfortunately the Tweakker APN app cannot configure the settings but even when I manually apply its or the carrier's recommended settings I get no data connection...
Edit2: an odd thing is that when I stick my 48 SIM in by default I see two APNs - Tesco WAP and Tesco MMS. I never saw these with the same SIM in my previous phone (Huawei G300 running CyanogenMod 7). And Tesco has nothing to do with 48 other than being another MVNO running on the O2 Ireland network. These APNs are locked so I cannot delete them and APN Backup/Restore cannot delete APNs on Android 4.0+...
Any advice?
Thanks.
Update on this...
(1) I'm assuming that my wifi issue will be sorted by disabling the "avoid poor connections" option. If not I'll post back.
(2) I managed to get carrier data working. In System settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Data enabled and Data roaming were checked (the latter because it's often required with MVNOs operating on another carrier's platform). However this did not work. But eventually I installed the Xposed Framework and GravityBox using the bundled installer app. Then I went to GravityBox > Phone tweaks > Mobile data > National data roaming and checked that. This kicked the data connection into life. Even if I disable Data roaming in the regular Android settings.
(3) I had a weird one when I composed a text message of a few lines and the messaging client sent it as several different messages with no obvious logic about where it split it. It wasn't a crazily long text or anything. I reckon it should have fit into a single SMS... I'll keep an eye on this.
(4) When running the stock browser I sometimes get garbage/artifacts in the notification/status bar. I'll post a screenshot later.
Update on this...
I think that (1) is sorted by disabling the "avoid poor connections" advanced wifi option.
I haven't seen (3) again so far but unlike the stock messaging app on other GB, ICS, JB ROMs that I've used before now the one here shows the long messages split into multiple individual messages instead of just showing them combined. Maybe there's an option to enable this but I haven't found it yet.
I haven't had a chance to capture and post a screenshot for (4).
Happy Xmas.
Sorry for long time to respond, i was at my family for few days and i havent internet connection there
I noticed distorted navigation bar this week for 1st time, because i dont usually use stock browser. Maybe unchecking Force GPU rendering in Developer options can help, if you want really use stock browser, when there are better alternatives (Boat,UC,Dolphin,Opera)
About the SMS messages and spliting into many short messages: maybe there is problem with unicode chars. SMS is usually 160 chars long, but if message includes at least 1 unicode character (letters with accents, special noASCII chars etc), the length of sms is shorten to 70 chars. You can avoid it by setting Strip unicode in Gravitybox - Phone tweaks and it will split long sms with 160 chars per message.
Solution for data connection for some providers is very nice, can i cite it in first post?
Hi zatycz - thanks a lot for the reply.
By all means feel free to cite the Gravitybox "national data roaming" tweak in case it helps others (on MVNOs?) to get carrier data working. I don't claim any major kudos for that. I just stumbled across it having tried lots of other combinations of APN settings etc.
I was using the stock browser although previously on my Huawei G300 I was using Dolphin. I'll try the tweak that you mention but may just switch to a non stock browser anyway.
I'm not sure about the SMS issue - I'm sending texts in English so no "extended" Unicode characters. However again I will try the tweak that you mention. I'd just prefer to see "long" texts presented in their consolidated form rather than split into separate 160 char chunks.
Otherwise the ROM runs very well for me so far. Setting the in call volume can sometimes work a bit odd using the volume keys or on screen slider but I haven't really figured it out.
Otherwise no major issues so far - thanks a lot for a great ROM and hope the token payment from me will cover the cost of a beer! :laugh:

So there is no way at all to customize the built-in notification/status bar switches/toggles?
I'm a bit confused by the storage management on this ROM.
I have a 32GB (29.71GB usable) external micro sdcard.
The phone has 1.48GB of "internal storage".
And 4.83GB of "phone storage".
At at high level by default what goes where?
Any suggestions/recommendations on how to manage the above to optimize storage use and maximise the benefits of the 32GB sdcard?
Thanks.

You can try to flash original stock SMS app from first post. Some users had problem with sending MMS and original app solved it. Maybe it will solve with spliting sms too.

OK - I'll try that when I get a chance (sometime next week by the looks of things right now!).
But the SMS app in the ROM looks like the stock Android one. Is it not? If so what is different?
In any case I'll try backing up, flashing the stock SMS app, test that and if it works I'll retain it but if not I'll restore the backup.

FOUR beers! I obviously gave you too much. And must visit Prague (or even Brno) again soon! I'd barely get ONE beer in Dublin for what I sent you....
I am having troubles with sending sms,every time i send an sms it is parted and send in more the one sms,how can i fix this?
If i flash Original stock SMS/MMS app will this fix it?
And what are the steps for flashing Original stock SMS/MMS app ?

MusicFX.apk because Viper4Android is much better.
Installation
0. Make backup of apps, sms and any other important things that you cant miss.
1. You need to have CMW recovery installed
2. Copy zip to memory card.
3. Boot into CWM recovery: Hold volume down while turning on phone
4. Make wipe data / factory reset
5. Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard -> choose zip with ROM.
6. DO NOT wipe data now, because some apps are installet to /data/app and wipe will delete them.
7. Reboot system now.
If you want to use Xposed Framework, run Xposed Installer, install framework and reboot.

Has anyone attempted to port MIUI V5 on Hair w910 ? Any development work you guys have done ?
Have you tried porting from MIUI V5 present for Xperia T, HTC one s?

You can try to flash original stock SMS app from first post. Some users had problem with sending MMS and original app solved it. Maybe it will solve with spliting sms too.

Thank you very much zatycz but how do i install the original app?
Valsam: In first post is link to download http://d-h.st/Cip Download and install it from CWM recovery.
Shanky76: Please dont quote whole original post.
I know nothing about porting MIUI and you can ask in common forum about Haier W910 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394696&page=24

Yeah - I get that too but haven't had a chance yet to try the stock SMS app (CWM flashable zip) from the first post.
I also cannot send MMS ("Service not activated on network") but was able to receive a few.
I need to try that stock app and see if it helps here.
I just hope that my CWM backup will restore OK if it doesn't work as I don't want to have to install all apps an configure from scratch!
Otherwise it's still running very well for me. A few small quirks (which may not actually be ROM related) which I will document when I get a chance but otherwise it's great. Thanks again zatycz.
Small bug? When I'm in the dialer I cannot select the text of a number for a copy/paste. The copy/paste options flash up but then disappear along with the selection highlighting. Bit difficult to explain this without a screenshot perhaps...
Hi zatycz - if you get a chance perhaps you could outline the difference between the bundled messaging (SMS/MMS) app in this ROM and the stock version available as a CWM ZIP from the first post? Did you or somebody else make some changes to the stock on and bundled the modified version with the ROM?
As I have said before this ROM runs really well for me so far. I have had just a few small quirks so far which I'll list here in case it's of any help to anybody:
After correctly configuring the APN for my carrier I also had to enable National data roaming in GravityBox under Telephony settings to get carrier data working on my network (which happens to be an MVNO in case that's relevant)
I get a couple of default APNs (for internet and MMS) which I cannot delete but this may be down to my SIM and not the ROM?
Occasionally the phone rings for an incoming call but the phone lags really badly and does not present the dismiss/answer call screen until after several seconds sometimes too late to take the call. This has happened a few times but is very sporadic.
In call volume control seems a bit hit and miss - sometimes very loud and sometimes too low and sometimes the volume keys and/or on screen volume control don't seem to adjust it accurately.
Long (non Unicode) SMS messages get split into separate parts in my sent messages list but arrive at the destination as combined/long SMS messages OK. Also I can receive but not send MMS messages. I have not yet tried the stock messaging app CWM ZIP in the first post to see if this helps.
Cannot select the text of a number in the dialer screen for the purposes of copy/paste.
Not a ROM issue but CWM backups seem to get the wrong date (e.g. 1970!). I haven't yet tried restoring a backup but hope it works! :laugh:
I'm a bit unclear about how storage is managed on this ROM - e.g. mounts, internal storage, internal "sd", external sd, and what goes where by default. Maybe somebody can explain?
Ringer/notification volume sometimes erratic? I had a notification sound assigned to incoming messages and it was working fine but then went very quiet and I had to switch to another that I could hear! But this could easily be something other than the ROM itself...
For some reason No Lock (from the Play Store) does not seem to work after a reboot even though enabled and I have to manually run it again (and it says Locking disabled) and leave it for it to take effect.
At one stage I thought that K9 Mail notification LED was not taking effect after a reboot and had to be manually enabled but I think I was mistaken and it seems to work OK now.
TIP: as mentioned above if carrier data is not working but you are sure that your APN is correct then try enabling national data roaming in GravityBox Telephony.
TIP: if you don't like losing screen real estate to on screen buttons then try Auto Hide Soft Keys app from the Play Store.
There seems to be a problem with volume in incoming and outgoing calls,some times people on the other end cant hear me almost at all and i cant hear them almost at all either,i am saying that the volume is very very low evenif set at max.,and thats not all,sometimes when i make a call the volume is very low but after the third beep-ring the volume goes way to loud almost as if i have the external speaker on!
And i also noticed that i to have Ringer/notification volume sometimes erratic,missing calls because the volume of the ringer go so low and i cant hear the call!

My experience is that if it's too low or too high then often adjusting the volume with the volume keys or on screen slider may correct it even if the slider ends up at the same place as it started! There's something funny going on alright but I haven't analyzed it systematically yet...
