About the recent MIUI ROM - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have any one else flashed the MIUI ROM released recently? It's well known here in China..everyone considers it to be the best MIUI so far with the features of working fluently and so on. .however I found it unbearable to use the Xperia launcher on this ROM ..extremely not fluent while on the home Page. .does anybody face the same problem or have solutions? Please tell me

This is, if not, one of the best ICS MIUI ROM I have ever used. Loving the Xperia Launcher!!
What do you mean about 'extremely not fluent while on the home Page'? Mine is working flawlessly! (using v1 since icons are much nicer than v2)

Maybe I should call it the desktop——after you press the "home " button you go to the desktop ——and when I slide the pages, it doesn't work as fluently as in the app drawer..but I'm clear that it works very well on other ROM ..I don't know what it means ...by the way , does your weather widget have animation before you press it? There is no on MIUI but the opposite on other ROM s

Yeap, it has animation. Did you flashed the launcher fix?

Actually...nope, there is no animation before pressing

[Q] MIUI-like lockscreen

Hi everybody. I'm running CM6 on my milestone. So far I've been very pleased with it. Yet, I really like the MIUI lockscreen, which beautifully gives you direct access to phone and messaging. Can someone port that lockscreen to CM? Or is there anyway I can have something like that, except from using widgetlocker, which is kind of ugly to me? Thanks a lot

If you're using CM, there's an option to have that. just go to CM settings, then input settings. Check the option for phone and messaging under 'lockscreen settings'. Just don't use rotary as your locksreen style.
what I mean is the whole gorgeous look of it

anybody?

I asked this a while back, and some folks told me that the miui lockscreen was built into the miui framework and therefore unable to be ported to other roms.
That's most likely still the case. You should just install miui, its a great rom.

nightlies are more stable than RC2, so try those if you have problems with RC2
Its not that much of a big deal for me, I will wait for the next RC if its a known issue.

[ROM][25.May]UTB ROM 2.0 - As clean as can be

NEW VERSION IN TEST PHASE - COMING SOON
UTB-ROM for the HTC One S gives you a clean, no fuzz, CM9/AOSP based ROM.
Version 2.0 marks the start of the future. As we anxiously await the kernel drivers from HTC, talented developers are making good progress on getting AOSP running smoothly. While there are still some issues floating about, its time to start building the base for the new ROM.
Description
You have two options. v1.0.6 gives you an AOSP-like experience but with the comfort of the original stock HTC ROM as base. Most things work as expected. However, if you enjoy living on the bleeding edge, version 2.0 gives you an CM9 based ROM which will get some bleeding edge extras along the way. Version 2.0 is still very early in development and is currently pretty identical to a stock CM9 ROM, but I wanted to give a taste of what is coming.
Highlighted Features v2.0
CM9-base
Google Play Music
OLED-Optimized ICS Boot animation (true black levels)
Latest Google apps included for your convenience
Note that this is just an introductory release. It is plagued by the same bugs as the other AOSP/CM9 based ROM's are. But we are making good progress and soon we will get all bugs figured out, Im certain!
Highlighted Features v1.0.6
Stock Android apps (Trebuchet launcher, Android Messaging app, Android Contacts, etc, compiled from source)
Stock Android ICS notification bar
Most of the included HTC apps are long gone
Based on the new 1.64.997.1 kernel
Zipaligned
Just feels good!
Changelog
v1.0.6
Picasaweb added (syncing works, uploading is still an issue.. maybe because of this)
ICS Live Wallpapers
Updated Gallery app (Now shows your online photos)
1.0.5
Removed CruiserPwrExpert - A ridiculous logging tool from HTC that does nothing but drain your battery.
Removed the HTC Gallery
Removed HTC Music
Added AOSP Email and Exchange
Added Google Play Music
Added AOSP Gallery
Known Issues v1.0.6
Unlock required before answering call (Hard to fix as its a compatibility issue with Sense)
The HTC Camera is for some reason not willing to open the ICS Gallery for previews.
NOTE: If you are coming from a different base ROM than the one you are flashing, a full data wipe is encouraged and recommended.
DOWNLOADS
v2.0 RC1
v1.0.6
Be honest your ideas a good one.sense stripped away..add some tweaks change some GUI for image sake..I'm already running a stripped down rom..novas running.only thing that looks different are the menus.
Looking forward to your rom matw

Yeah, I left the stock HTC camera app and gallery app. The reason for this is the unique features of the ImageSense chip which I didnt quite get to work with the stock camera app.
HTC's settings are also still in as well as the HTC Music app, but I might be removing that in the next version. Unfortunately, until we get AOSP running on the One S, it will be difficult to escape HTC's customized stuff completely. But I am trying to get as close as I can without breaking anything.
In terms of bugs, I am still trying to resolve answering calls without having to unlock the screen. Apart from that, I havent found any other serious issues yet.
Feedback is most welcome though. Ive just made a ROM to satisfy my desires and needs

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know the foundation is stable and solid.
Is there an easy way to change the behaviour of the app switch button in here? I'd find it more useful to switch between apps than as a menu button.
Hmm haven't thought about it. Just made more sense to have a menu button. If you long-click the home button you get the app switcher though

Problem is that when you don't assign menu to one of the buttons you get the onscreen menu button back...

The on-screen button doesn't really bother me. At least it tips you off that there are hidden settings in some apps. Over time there should be less need for a menu button anyway. Guess it's just a preference of mine, but very awesome ROM otherwise!
Shame there's no live wallpapers though.

Is everyone experiencing better battery life with this ROM? Also, what is the issue exactly with screen unlock? When you update the ROM, will we have to wipe? Do you know how long before answering calls bug is resolved? I happen to enjoy this version of Sense versus the older ones but I'm all for trying a "lighter" version of the OS.

To be honest, I didnt really use my device much before I flashed it, so its hard to answer the question of battery life with any certain degree of accuracy. But battery life is great for me and Im sure the new kernel doesnt do it harm either.
The screen unlock issue isnt really an issue, but more a HTC - Android AOSP incompatibility problem. When an incoming call occurs while the phone is locked, you have to unlock the screen first before being able to click the answer-button.
Hello..
very great rom.. i'd like to know if there is a battery mod for this rom!
Thanks

I flashed the MIUI rom already but thus is great for those that don't want to mess with different roms.

pretty cool launcher. I used to only use MIUI rom until recent updates from different versions of MIUIs don't seem to run very smooth on my phone, then after trying a bunch of AOSP and AOKP roms, switched to AOKP but really miss MIUI launcher. This one brings back memories! Great for those who misses the unique MIUI style!
thanks for this. will probably use this over my current sense rom
EDIT: play links seem to be broken

[Q] KK ROMs: restarting UI

Hello,
I have this issue with pretty much any 4.4 ROM for Nexus S out there - system UI is restarting. For example I use Facebook Messenger to chat with me friend, then I switch back to Nova Launcher to go into GMail… and the phone freezes for 20 seconds. After that freeze, the screen goes black and after another few seconds it gets me to the lockscreen. So I unlock the phone and what I see? Everything is booting up like I've just rebooted the phone. This also happens alot when I try to pull out notifications list.
This happens with every 4.4 ROM I've tried at least 4 times a day, so it's pretty annoying. I did a bit of research and I don't see anybody else having this sort of issue, so my question is - has anybody had this issue with 4.4? If so, what was the solution? I really love using KitKat because it's smoother than older Android versions, but this breaks the overall experience so much…
Thanks alot for your time!
What are the ROMs that you have used?
Did you do a clean install (including manual format /system partition)?
I've tried KitKang, SlimKat, MoKee and right now I am testing out C-RoM, which is pretty good feature-wise and speed-wise, except it does the same thing like other 4.4 ROMs. I always do clean installs (including manual formats).
its due to cm's new theme engine. revert to an older version of a rom that uses the previous version and see how things go.

I haven't had any issues with the latest BeanStalk or C-rom.. Both are CM based, but Mokee, CM and EuroSkank seem to suffer from the bug.. I haven't tried Slim since 4.6, but no ui bug there either.. I would recommend either BeanStalk for battery, C-rom based on performance and Slim 3.0 for being the best choice to have both...

C-Rom started crashing hard after about a day and a half of use. Totally unusable.
I'm back on Euroskank now and the latest build has been much better.
Hopefully they get the Theme Chooser bug figured out soon!

Interesting. I was also using the stock theme (not dark), but with Trebuchet. I wonder if the launcher may also have something to do with it.
