MIUI Questions, Tips and Tricks

Like it says folks.
This is my first MIUI ROM and so far I'm impressed by the features it offers. I hope that users with more experience with it will let us not so experienced folks in on some of the secretst of MIUI. So in an effort to keep the DEV thread a little cleaner(an idea I kanged from LUMIN) here goes.
My first trick if you will was figuring out I could restore apks straight from MIUI fiile manager. Sweet. Fully restored phone without using market at all!
Just found this and thought it might be usefll to some:
http://en.miui.com/a-10.html

Idk if you count this as a trick but if you install miui control you can activate app drawer
Also an alternative is alt drawer its a very simple drawer its cool and is customizable
Thank's aren't asked for but aappreciated

I wasnt aware we had a miui rom for the sgs 4g......
Ahh Raver's......ill be watching this closely lol......i loved miui on my vibrant

To set Google search to the search button instead of miui search
first if Google search is uninstalled then download it from the market then with a file explorer move google search apk from /data/app to /system/app then reboot your phone and when it boots click search and it'll be Google search
Thank's aren't asked for but appreciated

Questions about everything which is not related to Samsung Galaxy R

Hi friends, I opened this thread because i'm in great doubt and i need your help. This one thread will be deleted if it needs. If this thread do not violate the rules you can ask your questions...
My question:
Which galaxy tab to buy P6200 or P6800 ???
Which is better demonstrated, price is not the problem. If you have some links to comparative tests leave them here. Tnx
p.s If I broke a rule tell me I will seek to delete this.

If price is not a issue, then p6800 would be the obvious choice imo
More space, bigger, shinier

For that you're right, but somewhere I read that P6200 get better grades.
What about the screen, which showed better ? I may pick up p6800 because of 800 x 1280 pixels and in p6200 is 600 x 1024 pixels.

What do you think about this ? can take it for 200$ less than P6800.
The main question is whether the gains ICS ?
http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_xoom_mz601-3834.php

Friends I decided to take P6800 Galaxy tab 7.7, but still need a small help, can someone tell me this: When link is placed on the facebook page is it show like on computer ( to open a image of the link ) or show as on mobile phone ( just link is showing, no image of it ) I hope I was clear .... because on some phones it only show link when it is published( try to publish something on fb page if you have it and see whether they leave only a link without an image ). This is important to me because I advertise sites on fb and if there is no picture in the link fewer people will watch the content and this would be a big problem..... Thank you in advance

pudup said:
Well when I post through my phone with the facebook app, the picture preview comes. Are you using app or browser?

And I set from app, and from different browser and it's ok when i put it on my profile but when i pu on fb page it's show only a link :/ some times put on the page as if I am not admin ( only link ) so I thought maybe because of different android to work differently because on tablet is 3.2 .

I saw that, but to me it is not necessary because I would not use it as a phone, I would use the phone for calls, I would use the internet over the phone via portable wi-fi hotspot, or via wi-fi at home and the rear camera, I really did not need it again because the mobile is with me all the time wait to see what will be the final spec. if the price is 200-250$ would be acceptable. Just wondering build quality for that price. I read somewhere it will be a display of over 200ppi that would be great

Screen problems and a few doubts.

Hey, I have a bit of a problem. My screen is acting weird, clicking randomly or just not responding at all sometimes. The only way to fix it is to lock and unlock my screen. Sometimes, even that doesn't work. I also noticed a dead pixel on my screen. It's not very visible but annoying nonetheless.
Sometimes, after a call, my phone just stops responding, and I need to keep the power button pressed to restart it.
What could be reason for these problems? Also, I still have my warranty left. Would the service centre people be willing to fix an issue such as this?
I'm in college right now and won't be able to give it for service for another week. I'm not sure if parts are still available for our device. :/
Also, any news on the official India ICS update? I've been waiting for a while now, checking the forum every few hours for an update or a stable CM build. I know it devs can do it. Can't wait for it.
PS: Any news of epsy? He's been gone for a while now.
Sorry about so many questions. I'm just curious and kind of confused.

@ both persons above; thanks - I myself am facing some problems mentioned in OP (post-call phone dies, sometimes touch is unresponsive and have to lock/unlock screen, slight pixel problem) - and even my phone's warranty runs until Jan 2013.
I'll visit a service center ASAP (possibly this weekend if it's open or next week) and get it sorted.
Cheers!

may be its about your fingers huh? if u touch the screen with sweated or wet fingers, messaging is going to be nightmare
my advice is cleaning your screen with a clean and wet linen or cotton material, and then with a dry one.
also have a high quality screen protecter film.
if u have already tried this and the prob still occours, thats something that i dont have any idea

Thanks, I'll take it to the SSC as soon add i get home.
btw, i avoid using my phone with sweaty or wet hands, and since wiping the screen doesn't help, that's probably not it.
I think the screen guard might be the culprit after all. I've been thinking of changing it for a while now. any suggestions on which one to get?

[SHARE][FREE][2.3+] [App] Fast File Transfer - The WiFi Direct For The Rest Of Us

Hi, i would like to share this thread for Fast File Transfer - The WiFi Direct For The Rest Of Us
I did not develop this application so, all the credit goes to the original developer. I found this app so liked to share it here because i read a lot on wifi-direct discussion on cm9 by willy thread so thought i can share it here.
if its duplicate in this forum [Galaxy Fit apps and theme section] then mod can freely delete it.
Fast File Transfer is a free Android app that uses WiFi tethering for file transfers between two devices.
This technology allows for speeds of more than 32 Mbit/s, which means e.g. 1 Gigabyte in under 5 minutes.
The app has received an update recently and now allows to display QR codes for easier setting up the receiving device.
Features:
Up to 20x speed of bluetooth
The receiver is device-independent
No need for a common Wi-Fi connection
No data usage for file transfers
The receiver does not have to have the app installed
Send single or multiple files
Easy to setup:
Use QR codes to allow the receiver to easily connect to the wifi and open the receiving URL

[Q] Multiple clicks on Google Search results?

Hey guys
Does anyone else have this problem with Google Search when you search for something, then try to click on one of the links, and the first click never does anything? I have to click 2 or 3 times to get it to actually work...
It's extremely annoying and the same thing has happened on my Galaxy S2 & S3 both running Cyanogenmod 10.1. I doubt it's the ROM because I've never seen anyone else mention it...

I am pretty fast...but I bought a fast phone to be fast...not wait around all day...
And it doesn't matter if I wait until it's loaded or not. Still takes multiple clicks...
I'm talking about Google Search btw, not in a browser.
Thanks for the reply.
