I switched to MIUI a few days days ago, and I've been loving it so far. But I have been having a couple of issues.
Every so often my phone restarts for no reason. Sometimes when I'm in the settings application. Other times when I'm playing music. Regardless which music app I'm using, it'll restart my phone after 15-20 minutes.
My other issue is that my phone thinks its a Desire HD. is there a way to change
that? I can't access certain apps in the market because of that.
Thanks in advance.
I would try reflashing the rom. What kernal are you using with the rom and which version of MIUI? There is a discussion somewhere in the MIUI thread about changing the description in the build.prop file to make it show as an Inspire
I'm running miui 1.7.23. Not sure which kernel, probably the stock one. I haven't really read anything about the differences or why one is better than another.

It sounds like a bad rom flash. I would wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Then I would reload the rom. The stock kernal that comes with the latest rom needs to be updated with the latest Lordmod kern but it should not cause the problems you are having.

Use NV flash to get the recovery installed. Flash a custom ROM. I'm using weapon g2x with faux newest kernel myself.

well theres tons you can do. for stability you should flash one of the many fine roms we have in the dev section. since you said its your 1st android phone ill assume you arent rooted. take a look @ this thread to get you started.

Thank you for the link, and one other question, will rooting/flashing it affect the way I have my phone set up and keeping all of my stuff? Like is it restoring my phone?
I would say go for the legendary cyanogen mod first. See the power of android first, realize what aspects are important to you, then maybe try a different rom. Or just stay with CM like so many 100s of thousands of others

1. Changing roms wipe your phone? 2. Whats CM?
EDIT---
Dumb question('s), question has been revised in the first post.
Here's a quick glossary:
ROM: essentially an operating system for the phone. CM7, Miui, Weapon, Eaglesblood, are all ROMs.
Recovery: Recovery mode, accessed by holding power and volume-down while booting up the device. Most notible for ClockworkMod Recovery (abbreviated CWM), a custom recovery mode that lets you do lots of modding-related things.
Wipe: Formatting various parts of the phone's memory, necessary when installing new things. For a run-of-the-mill flash (anything other than a new ROM) just wipe Cache and Dalvik, the latter is under the Advanced option in CWM. For a new ROM, do the above but also wipe Data (factory reset) and System (under Mounts and Partitions in CWM)
Kernel: In the context of phones, this is a system change that lets you undervolt and/or overclock the CPU. Lets you save battery and increase performance respectively.
NVFlash: A tool used to flash CWM onto the phone.
Root: Access to the entire phone's system as opposed to being locked out to part of it as is the default. Lets you run special Root-only apps.
The Android Development board here is pretty definitive as far as roms go, the only significant one not hosted here is Whitehawkx's MIUI port which IMO is better than the one here.

The help is greatly appreciated, I picked some of that up just spending an hour reading up on wiki and android and surfing the threads, but again thank you.
My revised question still stands, what is the BEST ROM out there if there is one, and what is the BEST kernel out there if there is one.

That's like asking what is the best ice cream. Its all a preference. Cyanogenmod is the most popular rom for android and it cones with a kernel. Now try it already.

For me the stability of the phone is the most important, so the appearance of it will come second. I am using a rooted build of gingerbread 2.3.3 and so far it has been working flawlessly, my phone before I flashed it with the rooted ROM gave me like at least 1 problem a day, so far I am clear and it has almost been 24hr. If it stays its course I am not looking into anymore ROM's, if it does show the same signs I will search for the next best ROM.
But again, I appreciate your input, I am keeping an eye on the ROM you named and a few other, cheers
If you need A2DP then go with Weapon, it's based on 2.3.3 and everything works great.

What is A2DP?
a2dp is the ability to stream bluetooth in stero without it music over bluetooth is a no go but you can still use BT for phone calls it will only be in mono. You can still use your phone for music but you have to use this thing called a wire I dont know apparently back in the day you had to use this wire to listen to music throught headphones and speakers. Strange right? Anyway all ROMS that are not 2.3.3 based or 2.2.2 based Like CM7 or eaglesblood that are 2.3.5 do not have A2DP it has something to do with Nivida not releasing the drivers or something like that. It is ashames because Eaglesblood 1.08 is the best ROM ever but it will never be finished same as cm7 till Nivdia starts cooperating. It really was hard going back to wired headphones but eaglesblood is definitly worth it. Hope this helps

Not to hijack, but is this the only thing that doesn't work with 2.3.5 ROMs?

It's cool, I have the same question.
Hi all,
I'm curious to see what the popular opinion is one the following topics:
1) Is it acceptable/ok to dirty flash from a ROM to itself to gain additional features? Ex: I'm currently running Hyperdrive RLS15 and I'd like to reinstall with all of my prior options, but adding an AOSP/other app. Is this ok?
2) What is the best practice in flashing a new kernel? I'm working to maximize my battery life (thus far, Hyperdrive is working decently), and I need to flash a custom kernel. Should I be doing a "so fresh and so clean" 3X wipe (system/data/dalvik/cache) and somehow include the kernel into the Aroma installer (and as a complete newb, how do I go about doing this?)? Can I flash the kernel through TWRP over top of my current install? If I'm running a complete re-install, is there any reliable method to keep all of the Hyperdrive tweaks that I've implemented?
Thanks in advance folks!

1. Yes, but you have to select everything else the exact same to keep from losing features.
2. Wiping system will erase a current rom and isn't good for installing kernels. You really don't have to wipe anything, but I like to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, then flash the kernel.

Thanks for the response! Now I guess my questions are more toward which kernel to use. Anyone have experiences that they'd be willing to share with custom kernels?

Just try them. Pick aosp or tw. That's the only way to know what's "good" for you.

Hi all,
I'm trying to give my phone a refresh after those 2 or 3 years it has served me. It started to behave a little laggy lately and also the battery begun to dye away rather quickly, so I bought a new battery today and decided to do a clean re-install of everything.
The Gingerbread MIUI (1.12.23) was by far the best rom for this phone and it was running very smoothly. Definitely better then any later MIUI I ever tried. So I found this MIUI 2.4.20 zip file, which I thought is what I'd like to flash and use now.
If someone of you kindly could direct me towards an fitting flashable zip with the additional Google apps, that would be awesome. I definitely make some good use of those Google apps.
Thanks.

Oh yeah, and do you think, that a lowering responsiveness of the phone could be a result of the battery not supplying enough power anymore? Like a constant undervolt?

Hey man thanks for the idea! I have installed MIUI 2.4.20 today and I will definitely keep it. It has all that I need, runs smooth with about 400 MB free RAM and the photo quality is great.
To answer your GApps question: go here, download and flash gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip or gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip, whichever you prefer - both are fine.
Also if you like sweep2wake this kernel will provide it. I am not advertise my work but I flashed it and it is fine.
Another advice: the MIUI installation script will format your system partition as ext3 so if you have 4EXT recovery, reboot to it and convert (NOT format) your system partition to ext4
I have flashed several different ROMs and enjoyed them all but each one lacks a different functionality, (in-call volume control, partition sizing, docking, etc.) that I cannot live without. So my question is which ROM most closely mirrors the functionality of stock without all the bloatware? I just want to go back to using system 1 so I can make use of all my SD storage capacity and not worry about force closes, freezes and quirky bugs. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
