Newbie Here :-) MIUI Question!

Hi Forum
I'm still a newbie in all this android business, I try to read as many threads as possible before asking questions, however I just read A LOT about this MIUI, and people said there was released one for Optimus 2X? I just can't find it anywhere on the MIUI site.
Also if I do want this, how do I go about installing it? Can something go bad? I just don't want to brick my phone as I was close to doing so when I was playing around with flashing my SE phones
Help would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
~Neefy

Hi, you might wanna start and flash CyanogenMod first, also that is the best path to MIUI since the whole structure of MIUI for O2X is CM7. So go ahead to the CM7 thread and follow the guide there (I believe there is one).
I can't however tell you that not everything will go OK, since I don't know what knowledge do you have, but just be careful and everything will go great.
As for the MIUI installation it is somewhere in the only miui Thread at the moment in the development section.

miui germany .de celebration HD beta version ^^

i think they removed the link

I found the link, but what is the process? I understand I have to install RomManager, then clockworkrecovery, place the miui .zip on my SD card (only got internal, is that ok?), boot into recovery, "install from zip"
Is that all? Anything I need to do before?

i am also interested in this

Anyone with time and generosity who wants to help us newbies ?

External is needed if I'm right someone may be able to back me up with that but basically use rom manager to flash clockwork mod recovery (cwm). Use volume buttons to move up and down Recovery menu and power button to select, it's recommended to make a nandroid backup before flashing so you always have an go back to how it was if anything goes wrong. Next step after backup is to factory reset, wipe cache partition, go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache and battery stats. Now go to install zip from sd card and then choose zip from sd card and select your rom and flash and reboot. I'm new to this also so hope this helps.

but where does one get the zip image

The zip file is no problem, are you sure about the external SD thing tho? I don't have one

if you wqnt to flash roms you should get one. i got a 16gb one for about 14 euros from amazon

Could you link me to that ?

Wrong ! There are 2 versions of CWM. One for external and one for internal.
Go to dev section and search

As others have said, start with cyanogen to "cut you teeth" and then you can move to the MIUI ROM

MIUIUIUIUIUI is *dogshite* awful, but the installation process still remains the same. Flash zip. You do not need an external SD, you just need to read a bit more on recovery mounts.
Personally, CYANOGENMOD ALL THE WAY.

But what is the point installing cynagenmod and then installing MIUI right after?

the current MIUI for o2x is based off CM7.

But wouldn't it be the same as installing it from Stock in comparison to installing it from CM, won't I have to wipe and factory everything anyway?
Please clarify As said, I'm still very new to all of this!

if you are concern about bricking i suggest u make a nandroid backup or have another working rom on your sdcard. other than that process is the same.

Is there any way to do this without internet connection on my phone? My carrier stopped my internet connection because I forgot a bill I can't get rom manager due to not being able to get to market, any .apk or such?

how can i install CWN in my ROM?
any need to root before installing CWN?
which way is better to use if we put away the word "simple" ?

Look in here a bit down the page you'll read, how to root and you will find MANY links there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105 Decide for yourself, what s easiest for you. Either you flash back to froyo, root it easily and then flash an already rooted ROM. Or you flash one of the V20x files, which will probably delete all your data as well (didnt try it myself). Or you try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519674 BUT THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL... I guess nothing that will harm your phone, but i cant guarantee, if it works properly. Hope this helps a bit

Easy. Before those step you have to reboot in recovery. When you do that after boot CWM kicks in. For more information look at the ClockworkMod thread. A factory reset is a process deleting every stuff you installed, changed after you but don't forget to backup your apps.)
Flashing superuser.zip can be done in CWM. There is an option i believe it was "update from zip" select it. then select "from sdcard", locate the superuser.zip. press ok. After reboot you'll have root".
I may have forget or confused in steps" it's been a month since i've done it. Check out the thread the read the relevant things carefully before you proceed. But most importantly always remember to backup your apps. So that if you make a mistake you can install them back. ( i didn't mention nandrid backup , coss don't wanna confuse you more)
Latest version is V20. The letter changes form region to region, country to country. For Germany its V20n. Choose from here:

NP man. I try to help as much as i can. For CWM i recommend you to install ROM Manager. You can access it from that program. Also can make nandroid backup and everything. Anyway i don't know if you can install superuser after you complete the flashing process. If you wanna give it a try. Install ROM Manager. Go to recovery reboot. Try to install from CWM. Doubt it will work, so if it doesn't you have to go through the steps again unfortunately. Flash the ROM again. This time don't forget superuser.
I don't know about themes, sorry. I change icons, bootanimation manually and use GO Launcher EX for the looks. No standalone themes, no custom ROMs. That question should be for some other person to answer.

P990 stock rom zip

Hello pls where i can get P990 stock rom zip ( czech version ) in zip format... for me is better instalation.
Please answer fast
I have backup stock rom but if i flash it .... in boot screen freeze and after 5 sec restart phone

You'll first need to convert your file system to EXT3 first. CM is EXT4 and stock is EXT3. Flash this zip in recovery: http://android.modaco.com/topic/336...3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/
So you'll need to do this in recovery:
1. Wipe everything
2. Flash the BackToExt3 zip
3. Restore stock rom backup.
This should work.

Nice big thx this is easy and very fast

I read this post above and cant go anywhere further because the silly rules do not allow noobsters to ask noobster questions ????
heres my problem,
I have P990 that came with froyo
the thing was working perfectly apart from front camera in Skype and silly old me, not being able to ask novice questions here (because you are not allowed) somehow managed to install the cryogen 9 naively thinking that this will fix the only problem I ever had. And then the world of unstability, locked and frozen screens, freezing, restarting, random uninstaling of apps, cameras not working, video freezing, music (what music??) not available and not even starting etc started to be my daily dose of my randomly properly working p990 phone.
Is there anyone kind enough to explain how to do stock rom as per above post install on top of my big mistake .
I have an unstable, unreliable (rooted ) P990 that is currently (very randomly) running cryogen 9 , I downloaded the 2 part files from trapacska's post (thanks for thinking of us mortals), I have 2 laptops , one with windows XP , one with windows 7 64 bit, a usb cable to connect laptop to the phone and I will to do anything to return my phone to some normality .
Please take me step by step or show me links how to do it and what other programs do I need in order to make my phone work as it is supposed to work.
Please understand that I do not understand what all this bellow means, and would really appreciate if anyone could explain or point to places where these things are explained ( please omit the first point, I found how to root elsewhere):
THIS IS 100% FACTORIAL STOCK:
-you have to root
-wipe data and cache NOW NOT NEEDED(built in format /system /data /cache)
-100% factorial stock kernel included
-baseband and recovery will not be changed
-if you have bootloop, try to flash backtoext3 first

Confused ...need help :d

Hey there guys! As the title says , i am a bit confused with this new android version for our kick-ass phone. The thing is , everywhere i look there are so many pro and cons on this. I am curently on CM7 temasek vers , and i am pleased with it , except the random signal drop and refusing to call sometimes aaand the all known airplane mode bug , other than that, which are fixed most of the times with an reboot , everything else works fine. Now , my question is did any of you guys (talking about the devs) managed to made a stable version of the new relase ? There are so many new things around (versions i mean) that have to be installed with i dont know what application through usb and things and not the classical .zip file on SD and install from boot , you guys know what im talking about. Anyways sorry for the long post and i hope some of you guys can tell me clearly what the heck is going on.

If you were looking for info on the CM10 there is a USER THREAD available for your question.
you should do some reading and find out whats best for you.
if you want something stable and decent i would recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038631
make sure you smart flash v28 or v30 BB ril is installed with the rom. and you need to be on the new partition.
i would recommend to install Topo's v28 rom using his NVflash (this will set your phone up on the correct partition system, and will allow you to smart flash your baseband without having to revert to v20 roms.
you should be able to use the tool kit in my sig also to do what your looking for.
Carburano and Topogigi did a great job modding the rom and kernel, its really fast and smooth. i've only found minor bugs that dont effect the usability of the rom. and depending on your BB most folk have not reported any radio issues.
the only problem you will have is a nandroid backup of your current rom (if you wish to restore it) you will need to revert your partition system before hand.
and also make sure you take a Titanium backup of your apps/ games, and use the migration option to restore them to ICS, because, your current data will not restore properly on a stock rom. since i noticed your using CM7.

Necrowakker answered your question very well, I'm also running DjangoManouche and it's awesome! I only know about two bugs that aren't major ones, but I don't know if it has others. The first bug is an audio issue, when you reach the middle of the volume that's actually the maximum and if you keep going up it will start from zero, it is actually not a big issue because the audio is as loud as you would expect, you just have to leave the volume up to the middle, and the second bug I know about is about the radio, I think is only with the King of Birds kernel, when you turn off the screen the radio stops, but I haven't face that since I don't really listen to the radio anyways.
So, as you can see there aren't any major issues here, so I totally recommend it and it's faaaaaast!
You can flash it via the cwm, but you have to be running an ICS rom fist, so you can have the new partition and the new bootloader.
For flashing the v30a kdz, rooting it and installing cwm I recommend you this tool kit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737 But be aware, you must make a backup first (you can do it directly in the toolkit) of your internal sd card since going to v30a will erase your all your data.
This is the method I used to update to v30a: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35193678&postcount=5 with that same Tool kit you can flash cwm and root it, it's extremely easy.
Hope it helps.

Thanks man , i got everything i need donwloaded and even started to do it buuut i have one problme , after instaling a CWM vers for it and following all the steps now im stuck with an internal card (emmc) apparently that i can not mount and since i have my ROM zip there and BB thingy as well , i cant do anything , nor that toolkit so any ideas on how can i fix it ?

I think i have kinda bricked my phone lol.
Heres what i`ve done :
1.Download everything i needed , the ROM , the BB file (V30) , the toolkit (AIO-P990 toolkit)
2.Added the ROM.zip file in the phone ready to install the ROM
3.Changed the partition size for ICS and such with the toolkit , everything went fine , i was excited
4.Gone in recovery to install the ROM and this is where the unexpected happenend , i couldnt acces my internal SD , the phone memory (cant mount emmc) or something ..and now i am stuck :<

Found the soultion , apparently it was me all the time (thats new , right?) my SD card cant be opened for some reason , prolly because i got it from a friend and it just fitted and i was able to add things on it , anywayz i`ve used another SD card from some other phone and managed to put the ROM.zip on it and add it to my phone .. now its installing , yay so yeah , no more help needed , thanks for the reply tho guys , much love ! Oh my god i`ve just installed it and it is awesome !

Thread moved. Please post all your questions here in Q&A in future. Remember asking for help is still asking a question.
Thanks

[8190N] How to root my phone and install CM 11 ?

Hi!
I encountered some issues with my battery. With a regular use of it, my battery can not last longer than 12/15 hours. Wifi/bluetooth/3g are never activated when I don't use them, and my screen luminosity is always on the minimum setting. After I checked on the internet what was wrong with the battery, I found out that its lifetime can be increased by installing a custom ROM, that's how I learned about Cyanogenmod.
I would like install Android 4.2.2 Kit Kat on my phone but I don't really know how to do it. I know that I need to root my phone but all the tutorials I found out about it was for the i8190 version of the phone (and I got the 8190NXXAB1) or seemed outdated (from 1 yr ago). I don't want to "kill" my phone by doing something stupid so it would be so nice of you if you guys could explain me how to root my phone and then how to install CM 11... I'd really appreciate it cause this battery issue is a real problem to me since it can't last the whole day...
Thanks by advance!

You don't need to root the phone to install a new ROM - just:
1. Use ODIN
2. Install custom recovery
3. Dalvik and wipe
4. Flash ROM
5. Enjoy!
maclaw.pl has good instructions and downloads for all the tools including good quality ROMs for i8190N (although NFC may not work) - same model as my phone. I bit the bullet and went custom only last week, happy with Carbon at the moment
If you want better instructions with pictures, just google "flash a custom ROM with Odin" or something similar, there are plenty out there.

Thanks man for your answer, really helpful!
I searched for some instructions on Maclaw's website but I didn't find anything... Maybe the instructions are included in the ROM archives? (edit: found the instructions )
On many tutorials people were saying that it is needed that the phone is rooted, you sure I can install cm 11 without it? Also, they were talking about some apps like ClockworkMod, is it not needed too? (i don't have any SD card)
Anyway thanks I'll take a more deeper look at that tomorrow
PS: Apologize my english

Just follow Maclaw instructions and you'll be ok. I believe they already include TWRP recovery so you don't need CWM.
Also if you want to say thanks just hit the "Thanks" button on my post

Maclaw´s rom are pre-rooted, that means you´ll get root-access automatically if you flash them. The gapps include all Google APPS (=Gapps), they´re not included in the rom nativly.
as @james.faction says, flash it like Mac tells you on his site, and you´ll be fine
