Hi,
I wasn't sure where to post this but the issue I am experiencing is on the Nexus S and I couldn't find mention of the problem elsewhere, so this seemed like a logical place to start.
I have Agenda Widget and it seems to work for the most except for the following bug:
If you click an event/date the event/calendar opens. If you now press "Back" the event/calendar view closes.
If you repeat the above process but instead of pressing Back you press Home, the next time you press an event/date the calendar takes a long time to open. The effect is cumulative the more times you use the Home button to close the calendar (after opening it via Agenda Widget).
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?
TIA,
Syphon.
This sounds like a problem with the calendar application rather than Agenda Widget (I'm the dev of Agenda Widget, Hi ). When you press the home button in any application it pauses the current activity, when you press the back button it stops the current activity.
This problem sounds like the actual calendar application isn't managing the pause/restore process properly and is trying to re-load the entire activity rather than restoring it.
The fact that it is a Google application suggests that the above scenario is unlikely and maybe Google have changed their code in Android 2.3 which I may have to account for in AAW. If you can email me a log of the problem you outlined I will analyse it and look for the cause, roflharrison at gmail.
wow!
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I suspect you are correct in your analysis of the situation.
Clearly, pressing a date/event from the widget simply invokes the built-in calendar app and the subsequent back/home button presses (and the reaction to these inputs) are simply OS level interactions.
I don't know if this will help further but I noticed that pressing an event followed by the home key essentially stacks up events/calendar states (that's not the right word but best way I can think to describe it).
For example:
Press: Event 1 -> Event 1 is shown
Press: Home -> Returned to home.
Press: Event 2 -> Lag -> Event 2 is shown
Press: Home -> Returned to home.
Press: Event 3 -> Lag -> Event 3 is shown.
Press: Home -> Returned to home.
.
.
.
Press: Even n -> Lag -> Event n is shown
Press: Home -> Returned to home.
If you now press event n+1, event n+1 will be shown. If you now start pressing the "back" button, the calendar will page through every event that was previously selected...the calendar has remembered every previous state that it was invoked into (as long as the back button was not pressed at any stage). If the back button is used the calendar is returned to a null/default state and the next time it is invoked there is no issue.
Regarding the log, where would I find that? Also, if (as we suspect) this is an OS level issue, would any record of the problem even be in the log?
You can make a log by downloading alogcat from the market and opening it after you have performed the actions which are causing the problem. You can then email from alogcat and it will send the recent activity on the phone.
This behavior is strange (and as far as I know specific to Gingerbread), I am going to get my friend who has a G-bread ROM to test and see if he gets similar results...
Ok cool.
I've just emailed a log over to you.

The Messaging hardware button on my MDA Vario III is not working properly. When I press it, sometimes the top task bar shows "messaging" for a second, then disappears and the app does not start. Sometimes when I press it again, the messaging app starts after all, sometimes it does not. The strange thing is, that when I attach another prog to the button, it works flawlessly. I think that is is a software/registry issue, since this started after I installed AEBPlus. I deleted AEBPlus, but this has not helped. The only difference that I see in the registry is the first value, BTNWND. it has the value 2080975920, where all other keys have 0. I tried resetting it with PHM regedit, and it stuck for a few minutes, but after a while it resets to the old value again.
Does anyone know how to fix this? The registry key I am talking about is HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys/40C2.
I had a similar problem with my hermes on the original WM5 orange rom... but only if I had lots of apps open.
I would suggest that you experience this problem when you have left lots of programs running in the background.
Thanks, but I have no other apps running in the background. I have HTX X-button configured to close an app when I hit x. Strange thing is that the x-button does not close messaging when I hit x. I installed Pocket Plus and that x-button does close the messaging app.edit: SPB Pocket Plus, like HTC X-button, does not close the app properly, although it is not in the exclusions list. I have to kill it manually in the memeory/taskmanager app.
I played around a bit and noticed that the app is opened almost instantly when I go into settings-buttons, assign another app (Bubble breaker) to the button, then I close the button settings and the other app pops-up the second I hit the button. Then I go back to button settings, assign messaging to the button and when I press the button, I have the problem appearing again. It works this way till a soft reset. After the reset, the button does not work at all, untill I first assign another app to the button and then re-assign the button to messaging. Very strange behaviour. Can someone perhaps post the values in their registry ( the key is HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys/40C2). My value there differs with every soft reset, but is always something like 2080960048. When I set it to 0, the app opens instantly when I press the button, but for some reason after a while it resets to a value like 2080960521.
Hey all,
I just ran into this site and being a new user of Miui, it totally blew my mind.
Now I know that most of these could be found on the miui forums but for the new guys/gals here you are

2. Built-in Screen Capture function
One of the lacking feature in Android is the lack of a built-in screen capture feature (like in iPhone). Not anymore. With MIUI, you can press the “Menu” key and “Volume Down” key at the same time to capture a screenshot. The printed image is saved in the “MIUI: directory in the sd card.
3. Press Home key to preview screens

ive learnt .. actually i read abt miui from the site before installing eybees version ..
Basically its a timer app made by me with Mousehunt in mind. The sounding of horn button is a link that will open in the browser that you set as default. It will automatically sound it for you.
Instructions:
Press "set timer" to set the timer to start the countdown.
Press home to do other stuff.
Check back when you think is about 15mins.
Press sound the horn.
Made using Android Inventor.
Problems:
-Pressing back button will close the app. Use home button instead.
-If the time you press the "Set timer" is 45th - 60th minute of the hour, it will have a bug. This is due to the timer being hooked onto the minutes of your clock.

any update sir?
looking interesting.... Me also ask: will be some update?
For the second time since starting all the work I've done on my phone, I flashed a ROM without launchers. The first time I have a video of, and learned a few things about dealing with this. So I choose not to fix the phone this time. I knew it was easy to fix, but I wanted something fun to do on vacation. So I ran with no launchers. Found ways to remap hard keys, and knew about a ton of apps to look into. I've been running launcherless for the whole time, have easy access to all of my apps, and can do mostADB/Bash work from inside the phone now. I've replaced all stock apps, including the camera with really nice apps of my choosing, but still no launcher.
Just thought that was interesting, it's been a lot of fun. I wish my phone was anything but what it is, SM-727P only offered by virgin, and boost. Would be interesting to share more than just the story with people. I could post the video of the first time, and pics of my current setup. No homework too show off, but prime space to appreciate a good wallpaper.
I occasionally have problems with all perms resetting, so it was important that the may all in charge of everything also be the default assistance app.I first went with the home key launcher, but it was very clunky. I settled on radsofts app drawer got assistance, wheel launcher for my main functionality, and apps, VM for most everything else. Also made use of Oreo nougat quicksetings.
Button mapper, and button remapper, mapper pro would do it all, but I wanted to make the idea available to anyone.
Volume+
Press: default
Double tap: flashlight
Long press: es file explorer
Volume-
Press: default
Double tap: screenshot
Long press: brave launcher
Recent apps
Press: default
Long press: L speed
Back
Press: default
Long press: bash shell
Home
Press: terminate foreground process
Long press: Launch app drawer/default assistant if one of the main goes down.
VM swipe pulls out from the side, offers a ton of app space.
Wheel launcher opens when shaking the phone, has built in shortcuts for basic phone functions, all apps, and customizable shortcuts.
So the home screen is completely empty, and you get tons of access.
took a few pictures
sounds interesting, but are you not concerned about the physical buttons ageing faster than usual this way?
Just got my phone. My first MIUI device. I am having a hard time getting used to the home button behavior and if it can be changed. I like to keep my home screen clean. I keep most used apps in folders at the bottom of the screen. If I launch an app from a folder and I want to use the home button, instead of returning to the home screen it returns to the folder. Its very annoying. In many situations it acts exactly like the back button and not a home button.
Can this be solved or do I need to live with it?
Did you ever find a solution? It's driving me crazy that "home" doesn't take me home.
Anyone found a solution for this? It's very annoying! I would use a different launcher but when you change the MIUI default launcher some functionalities stop working or behave crazy like split screen on recents and others.
