As read in various threads here, it seems that both 2.3.3 JVB (Nordics) and JVK (XEU) has been pulled and are no longer available via Kies.
Can someone please verify that?
Any thoughts, comments or even reasons for this behaviour?
Kind regards,

Confirmation
Hi
As i wrote in thread: 1040148, I updated via KIES saturday using a spoofed NEE productcode.
This dosen't work today. As you will be able to se from the thread, this has been comfirmed.
The UK release is apparently still online.
Correction
According to thread: 1040065 the UK one has been pulled as well.

etc...
At least I hope so

Whats the alarm clock bug?
Yes, I can confirm Gingerbread on UK unbranded SGS is not showing up for me on my Kies 2.0 with 2.2.1 installed.
Samsung support Sweden confirms that update servers are down and should come back online shortly (whatever that mean)

Haven't hit any bugs yet.

Haven't hit any of those bugs yet on JVB. Maybe I the luckiest guy in the world.
.... or maybe I just don't use my phone enough.
Not seen an XEU update yet so not sure what the above post refers to. Vodaphone are rolling it out in UK as we speak.

damn, that was not the quote button^^
Anyway, the alarm clock bug is the bug of the task manager kills the alarm process when you press "clear memory". Meaning that the alarm won't go off if you clear the memory after setting it up.
Can be avoided by not clearing the memory or opening the clock app (or resetting the alarm, don't know, never experimented with it)
uhm to legitimate (hm, that sounds pretty wrong: ) the thanks... I'm glad you asked?^^

Okay, to get things straight:
- Android OS drain bug: high usage in battery statistics (maybe from OTA update)
- ringtone bug: ?
- browser scroll bug: ?
- alarm clock bug: killing task with "clear memory"
- lousy wifi strength bug: i cannot confirm it here, wifi seems to be as before (JPY)
Can someone fill the open issues?

Ringtone bug = A looping ringtone, but not a full loop the whole way through the tone.
Browser scroll bug = Browser doesn't scroll from top to bottom in one swipe. Stops in 3 sections.

Full ROM.
You can flash over previous versions of MIUI but there are lot of changes in this release so I would recommend a wipe.
This is the best release of MIUI yet in my opinion. I have had the least amount of issues and that seems to be the consesus on the MIUI forums as well. Give it a try...
Any bugs? Fully translated to English? I dont keep up with these MiUI ROMs, but last I checked they were in some asian language.
there are always some bugs but very few in this release. All the main features work as they should. (GPS, BT, wifi, camera, etc)
It is fully translated and is very stable.

If you go to the MIUI forum you will see what bugs there are. I have only experianced a couple when some doing system settings. Nothing that is a big deal for me. All ROMs in my experiance have some glitches, MIUI is not exception. I really like the polished look and the built in features.
I've been testing it for a while and I think there is a problem with the Geolocation over network/wifi.
Example: News and whether app not able to get location.
Everything else is working so far.
I've been using MIUI since November builds and this is by far the best build except one major bug. The launcher FC a lot. I've fully formatted my phone wiped eveyrhimg and anything you can wipe and left with all default theme and everything else the ROM starts with and dame thing still FC on the launcher. Until that's fixed I've changed ROMS and glad I did I've no issues at all with Municipal warm 2.2 RLS 5.3 so far it's flawless.

Use an alternate launcher.
news and weather is working fine for me. haven't done a full wipe since I started using miui though which was back in november. using tiamat 2.1.5 kernel.
This ROM is smooth as hell for me. Awesome improvements, including the camera and the music player. I love the new transitions for the Launcher, like in ADW EX. (Settings->Programs->Launcher).

I'm in love with this rom. It's very smooth and very unique, the only problem in having so far is that I get a force close every time I try to open mobile network settings. Is there a way around this?
It is stated in original post that removal of Verizon Data Throttle causes this to happen. Linked zip on the MIUI-Dev forum post reverses this perk for you.
This is an auxiliary thread, created to help developers The Frankenstain and Flatzki with the porting of MIUI to Optimus Black.
Please check to see if your question has been answered here before pestering the thread in the development section. That thread is only to thank them, give support or any other specific request by the developers themselves.
This will be updated with each release of their beta.
FAQs start here:
___________________________________________
Q:Can I just ask all of these issues on their thread?
A:I, as well as everyone else, will bash you and call you names if you do.
Q:Is this ROM good for daily use? how is the stability?
A:This ROM is mostly ready for daily use, yes, some things remain to be fixed, but stability is really good, and so is overall smoothness.
Q: Does Hardware acceleration work?
A:Not fully, video can't be recorded at 720p as of version 2.0 and lower video resolutions are color shifted.
Q: Does Camera(for pictures) work?
A:Yes, fully and at all resolutions.
Q: Do Sensors(accelerometer, etc...) work?
A:Yes, fixed in 2.0.
Q: Does this MIUI build allows us to pull down the notification panel from a fullscreen app?
A:Yes, yes it does.
Q:I took a screenshot with the built in feature but I can't find it !
A:If you're using 1.0 it's in the /cache folder (use a root explorer). In 1.5 (credit to gsal for noticing this) there is an error saving to the SD card and images can only be captured when the sd card is not mounted. The location they're saved in is /data/sdcard/MIUI/
Q:My carrier is definitely not a huge string of numbers, what do I do?
A:Open up MIUI control panel app->statusbar->Carrier options and set the custom carrier to your liking(or just hide it).
Q:How do I change how the battery is displayed?
A:Settings->System->Battery->Battery indicator style.
Q:Is the MIUI Theme manager working
A:Yes, fully.
Q:Is GPS working?
A:Not for me, as well as some other users, but developers say it does, so it might be device or location specific.
Try this if it doesn't: GPS FIX
Q:Can I use Huexxx's kernel with this ROM?
A:Since v2.1 it's already included.
Q:Is this ROM in my language?
A:Yes, if it's one of these:
Deutsch
English
Español
Français
Hebrew
Italiano
Polski
Russian
Chinese
Q:What is the difference with that other MIUI rom from flatzki?
A:That was a patchrom, this is a port, which gives the devs more control over their rom. As well as this version having less of CM7 (ie: no CM7 settings)
Q: Does it use Aroma installer?
A:Yes, although no customisation is available as of v2. 1
Q:Can I switch music tracks with volume keys?
A:Yes, it is implemented since v1.5
Q:When will this rom... ?
A:Just wait patiently, the devs already know what is and what is not working and are troubleshooting those issues. Asking for ETA's is morally unacceptable (this applies to all of XDA too.)
Q:How is the battery life?
A:Using only 2g and some wifi, I got easily 20+ hours with medium use, considering drain overnight is very low.
Q: Does USB mass storage mode work?
A:Yes, It also remembers your choice for automatic mounting.
Q:Wifi is not reactivating after screen off
A:Set the sleep policy to never sleep.

About the call end bug.
Since the sensors are not working, removing the phone from ur face will not turn on the screen. So u are left to press the power button to "unlock" the screen so u can press the end button. Thats when it gets stuck.
The only bypass is to let the other person hang up first.

First of all i envy you because i recently suffered torn cruciate ligaments and i need surgery but in greece it is impossible atm.regarding the gps it finds 5 satellites max.i think that it won't be able to maintain the signal for a long distance.i asked flatzki if it is possible to attach a setup like cm7 in zeus rom.i think that works great.overall the rom kicks @ss and the language pack works perfect except from the vibration.everything is in greek.

Temasek 135, bb0725 : Deleting photos using gallery's delete command doesn't work.
It apparently works, but after a reboot, photos come back in gallery.
Try out quickpik. In every way better than gallery app.
Sure, quickpic is great.
Did you experience the same bug with standard cm7 gallery?
If so, please thank the first post
Bug: temasek 135 : settings->cyanogenmod-> input -> volume wake selected.
volume volume keys do not always wake the phone.
Edit:
Volume wake always works if there are certain kind of notifications
pending (facebook, active downloads from playstore).
In ICS there is something similar, and it is a CPU related problem. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33151340
Edit(2): also in temasek135 it is a cpu related bug.
The solution proposed in the above post works also in tm135. But partial_wake_lock reduces battery.
Now the question is:
Facebook notifications have the same effect of a partial wake lock ... are those notifications cause of a partial_wake_lock?

Easy way to get thanks? I'm on it!
Maybe polls would be better.
Maybe it's a problem with the thumbnails not deleting?
Gallery is working for me fine. Also volume buttons always wake up phone (i use it very often).
I don't know what bugs are you saing. CM7 has stable release so all things should working including this two fuctions...
@Chris : eheh. I understand, but a poll is not great for a bug report.
The "one post, one bug, (multiple thanks)" is to keep the thread as clean as possible. The gallery bug has already been reported, and it is not a thumbnail question.
@Rayman: "Stable version" in the operative systems world has never been a synonymous of "bug-free".
Windows 95 was a "stable version", when it was released.
Obviously bugs are subject to lots of variables. Some systems experience them, some others not.
That's why I proposed the thanks mechanism.
Now, please, keep on topic.

CM7all : deep sleep bugs.
(This seems to be also an ics bug, it should be hardware related (read below)
Symptoms : in deep sleep
1)alarm doesn't work;
(Stefan Gundhor tried lots of combos of roms/bb/rils / kernels/ alarm apps: no success. )
2)wake on volume keys doesn't work;
3) plugging USB charge doesn't wake phone.

Hello Boys and Girls,
Everyone at XDA loves AOSP based projects. However AOSP is designed only for the Nexus devices. For most other devices, a significant ammount of extra code needs to be added for them to run properly. For Qualcomm devices, most of this extra code is supplied by the Code Aurora Forums. Here you can find a variant of AOSP that is not only designed specifically for Qualcomm based devices, but it also includes various tricks and enhancements.
So today I'm introducing a little project I've been cooking up for myself, which might also be interesting for other Xperia SP users.
It's called recaf - adding the CAF optimizations back into your AOSP rom.
This is now based on Android 4.4 KitKat. On the surface, it looks almost exactly like pure AOSP as provided by Google. You wouldn't know just by looking at it, but under the surface there are lots of changes to dalvik, the frameworks and the hardware drivers to massively improve battery life.
However, pure AOSP sometimes feels a little bit featureless compared to advanced roms such as CyanogenMod, so I have included a few basic tweaks that I feel make life easier when using an AOSP-like rom:
CyanogenMod camera app - because AOSP camera app is rubbish
CyanogenMod cLock widget - because it's actually pretty nice
Integrated Superuser - it's right there in the settings menu!
exFAT and NTFS - needed for larger SDCards
Multicoloured notification lights - AOSP gives us white lights only
Quick settings - easily accessible by swiping down the right side of the status bar
Advanced reboot - Always available in the power menu
ADB and SU security - root access is disabled by default

I assume you will also want to install GAPPS, the version I recommend is the FULL version created by the Paranoid Android team from THIS THREAD.
For your first install you will need to flash the boot.img from inside the zip - SELinux changes for Android 4.4 will cause the zip to fail on other recoveries.

Known Major Bugs
Location services are currently broken for certain apps. fixed in 4.K1.
GSM data sometimes (very rarely) randomly disconnects until reboot - I need help to determine what causes this. If you can reliably reproduce this, let me know.
Android RunTime (ART) will fail at boot time fixed.
Known Minor Bugs
WiFi does not connect to WPA secured networks. WPA2 security works as expected.
For Superuser to work you need to change ADB access to apps and adb (in developer settings)
Language does not change in some parts of Android, most notably the Settings app. Most other apps work fine and I didn't touch the language code, so this is a CAF bug I will need to fix.
Custom notification colours for missed calls and voice mail don't work
LED on charging sometimes gets stuck when disconnected until reboot.
These are features, not bugs
Facebook sync cannot be activated.
Quick Settings poll
I created a poll about Quick Settings (discuss it there)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550027
some feedback,
flashed rom+gapps= setup wizard FC
flashed rom=boot then reboot then flash gapps= profit
seems like integrated SU is not working properly for me though
Downloading...
One question though, did you manage to fix the "Phone" app battery drain issue?
Ahh yes the setup wizard will crash due to the above bug. You can skip it by pressing the four corners of the screen, start top left then go clockwise.

What are you trying to user Superuser for? I tested remounting /system and adding a file with Root explorer and it worked fine

@adfad666 thank you so much for sharing this rom! I have decided to switch to this one as my daily driver, pure stock 4.3 jellybean just the way i like it battery life is significantly better than cm10.2 and lag is non existent. Looking forward to future updates/bug fixes and of course AOSP kitkat roms!
Bug report: The notification light doesnt seem to work when charging via usb but works for notifications. Also, even though ive changed the notification lights to custom color values it still blinks white
ive attached a logcat below hope it helps.
Going to test this out as I'm currently running PAC and my battery ran out in 6 hours with 1 hour tops screen time. Hope this is better like the previous comment stated. Will post a small review afterwards.
Ok first off: battery life seems to be A LOT better than CM10.2/PAC.
Doesn't have SU installed by default, so I had to flash it.
Seems to be smoother than PAC. Might be placebo effect though.
1 question as well. Is there a way to enable facebook sync? I did it on CM10.* with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064859, but the CM10.2 apk doesn't work with AOSP

I noticed it works if you change the default notification colour, so I must have missed some part about the custom colours for apps.

Super user is for sure installed, but I think you need to enable developer settings for it to work. It's the exact same code as for CyanogenMod ( I didn't even fork it I just link to their projects) and I think super user is hidden and disabled there until developer mode is enabled. I'll add the code like CM has to hide it unless developer mode is enabled.

Absolutely not, Facebook needs to die. Immediately. Seriously.

The phone app battery drain is a CM bug, it works perfectly fine in this.

Unfortunately I encountered the same issue on this ROM too, I'll re-flash and provide a log tomorrow.
undoubtedly the best work so far
the ram and the battery is what most pleased in this rom
but heating in many aspect
I did return to the stock expecting some solution
or next actulizacion
SuperUser is working fine for me .
-I've some force closes in Drive app; but i disabled this app so the force closes are gone.
-I suffer a reboot when i start the camera for first time -> The screen turns purple and like "melted" and after that turns off. And later turns on again (reboot). Note: i've this bug in CM10.1 and CM10.2 when i was playing HD videos.

I enabled dev options before flashing, but many apps still said, that there's no root.

Hello
Since updating to LineageOS 19.1 I no longer receive notifications from the calendar app. The notification only appears after I open the calendar app. Does anyone know the problem and can help me solve it?
Many thanks
Found this thread, says apps such as cleaner master can cause such an issue.

I have the same problem. One thing to try is long press on the calendar app and tap the "i" to see the app info. Make sure that alarms are allowed (at the bottom) and also try changing Battery to "unrestricted".
I have the same problem in a Pixel 4a (sunfish). I was going to open an issue at Gitlab, but haven't been able to narrow the focus. Last week I got a notification (right on time), while I was on a phone call. However, I can't figure out when it works (almost never), or why.
As you said, sometimes I get old notifications (24+ hrs old) while working on the calendar app.
There's another issue with Calendar. It crashes when you try 'search'. I saw this on Gitlab. That can be fixed by installing the FDroid version of Etar 1.0.30. However, notifications aren't fixed by using that version. I tried.
I just changed Battery from 'Optimized' to 'Unrestricted'. I don't have much hope, though.
I'll post if that helps.

Changing battery to "Unrestricted" made the difference for me. I've not missed a calendar notification since the change. Thanks for this.
However, is this a bug? Should it work with battery 'Optimized'?
BTW, you might consider having this discussion within the official LOS19 thread.

Yes, this method seems to be working for me as well. May be good to mention it in the LOS19 thread. It is sort of a bug in design if anything. Since the calendar app may not be accessed much or have constant reminders, it might not be given high priority in the optimization.
Thank you for that information. Will try that with changing battery to "Unrestricted".
Thank you! Everything now works perfectly!
