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

ATM videos aren't working with MIUi the only work around is download mx video from market and use that it should all work

So is it just me or the market still doesn't show some apps? Is there a fix that I missed?

ICS Perfection

I have been here reading about the glitches folks are having with the ICS leak such as shutdown-reboot freeze, freeze on mms deletion, battery consumption and others. I am happy to say that I have not experienced any of these glitches, other than the contacts tab missing from the phone app (and thats is not even technically a glitch). I have been resistant to flashing any of the new CWM Roms because this original oneclick version runs so perfectly for me. Is there anything from my phone that the Devs might want to look at to help narrow the cause of these issues that others are having?

Same, no issues here. This is the first leak that I have had no problems with.

Same here no issues except for shutdown :-(.... Im trying to fix though

First flash I had no home button, second flash (current) my home button is a little laggy, all the other buttons vibrate isntantly but home has a very slight delay, doesnt really affect anything. everything else seems to work, except google wallet for me.

first flash was perfect, i borked it trying to import AOSP pieces haha
second flash was no home button, factory reset fixed that, still have the reboot problem though.

sometimes when i use rynga or viber i loose the incall sound so i have to restart the phone to fix it.. and i use them but then i loose the sound again

So when deleting txt messages it doesn't forceclose on you either? You must be the only one cause its happening to everyone that's reported issues with the release.

Nope, no FC on deleting mms or sms. I will make a screencast video to show the normal operation. I was hoping that maybe some files in my phone would be useful to a dev to get it fixed for others. The only thing I have done to it other than install basic apps is to root and add GO Launcher with ics theme.

Can anyone confirm that tethering (non-AT&T approved) is working with the leak? That's the one thing keeping me from upgrading from the GB from I'm on.

That's not the point what if you don't want to delete it all? Exactly my point that's not a fix its a workaround that everyone already knows.

Is this better? And to be clear, I never said it was a "fix" or "workaround" in any way. Read the OP, and you will see that this is the one click method install with no mods other than root and Go Launcher. I stated it worked on it's own correctly.

Unless you want all of the world to have "Peggy's" number, I'd take that down pretty quick

Scott, thanks, lol. I am SO tired tonight. I edited. Now could you edit it from your quote please? Thanks again.
I have done some further reading and noticed the people not getting these problems are the ones such as myself who did no kind of wipe before using Odin and oneclick solution to upgrade from GB to ICS. I did no wipes only because I got ahead of myself accidentally. Maybe this time it paid off for me. Has anyone looked into the possibility that it is the initial wipe process causing the issues that are being presented?

So I watched the video, and since I had this problem was skeptical. I noticed you used delete threads from menu. I was def getting force close when long pressing and hitting delete thread. I tried it your way, and it worked fine. Then I tried it with long click and it works now too. Problems that fix themselves, don't get it. But I'll take it

If you have tried with your earphones which came along i9003 then there must be something wrong with your phone hardware.

Leave it then, ill use the ones without buttons.....i dont wanna go to the sc, they take months and year to fix even such small issues....

Installed CM10, most everything works but asks for SIM unlock code at boot

I can hit cancel and it appears everything including LTE and texting is working fine, but not sure if this is hurting anything? Any idea how to fix this?

This sound like an incredibly complex workaround. I suggest a YouTube tutorial video series on this operation. At least half a dozen episodes.

Same question, just in case. Choosing dismiss is not a real answer.

What happens if you chose to dismiss? Any problems?

I had the same issue, never found a solution. Issues with data and voice so I reflashed stock.

It looks like this GUY was continuously having this same issue.
Get the the Phone Info app from the market and change your Network type to LTE/CDMA/Evdo and see if that helps. If not, back up your data and try a fresh flash on CM10 after.

[REQ] Stock Sony browser .apk Xperia E

Title says it all. Unfortunately, deleted mine through titanium Backup.
Want it back, because it's one of the fastest browsers on my phone(plus lighter, and less RAM consuming than others)
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the reply. but I believe this is the Sony Home, not the browser... I have also deleted the home launcher, but that was also my intention. Lightning Launcher is 3 times faster than the stock Sony one!
Still: thanks.

Oh sorry i thought launcher.btw if you have downloaded any rom. try to find it in that

Wait... your brother knows how to factory reset a phone? I've taught my sister not to even open the Settings app, because "it can wreck havoc on our Nexus", as said by me.

My brother is 12. He has a Samsung Gio. That little sh*t! We were in a fight and he thought he was funny...
I flashed the stock .ftf again and I am now at XboosT again. So I don't need the browser anymore. All my music is laying around somewhere on my computer, just have to find it. Only pro is that my phone feels a lot more snappier than before...
