[Q] Change to MIUI or not?

Hi guys,
i dont really find any related threads..
so i wanna ask you all whether it's better to stay on darky's rom
or change to MIUI?
and how serious is the battery drain problem? does it matter?
how long does the battery last?

MIUI is awesome, i never looked into it at first but im glad i did. I have been on it for weeks and i aint going elsewhere.
Battery is normal. 1-2 days at best.
Also. New updates every friday.
Highly customisable. You wil be amazed at it.
Try it and see. You can always flash back if you dont like it. But i know u will

I agree, I love this ROM, totally different to any other ROM you will have tried, it's like having a new phone. If you can flash your phone successfully and iron out some other niggles you'll get trying to update, you won't go back to another rom again

id say looks great but finding so many many annoying things - though im new today so if i missed something or a fix i apologise way in advance 690odd pages is too much to sift through
keyboard has no working dictionary
auto rotate is bust
themes doesnt seem to change all the time correctly
auto brightness seems to not work too
and keep getting FC now and then in settings
Signal keeps switching off too(only fix is lock/unlock)
besides this and as i say totally new today n maybe i screwed up or missed a fix. its a great looking rom. feels nice

Their are other roms
Rom Kitchen
Look In Developers section .
Darkys is a rom not the holy grail of rom development suggest you try others you can always go back.

miui 1.4.15 works awesome with zachs kernel!
now just wait for the rc5b then it will be even better

Keyboard will be fixed today. download keyboard from market temporarily
auto rotate is fine for many of us, depends on your kernel
majority of themes work perfect, very few of the 1000's of themes dont work 100%
auto brightness, again works well for many of us, check it under the settings menu.
FC in settings is due to the theme being used. as mentioned above
signal issue.... is lock/unlock so hard work ???
anyway rc5b will be released soon and im pretty sure all the above will be fixed. im sure you can appreciate the hard work taken to get this ROM almost perfect. there is no guide for this ROM, as there is for samsung ROMs.

looks like you all appreciate the miui rom
thats good.. i first thought that the battery drain would be a problem, but atm
my darky roms sucks more and i can run it only for one day
what major changes will come with rc5b? i thought of changing to rc5?
does anyone use the miui version? or is everyone on xda version?

well i use the xda version i think - the xda page directs me to 'sourceforge'
as the team translate it to english (its originally chinese)
RC5B will just fix a few bugs that is in the RC5.
you can flash to whichever version you want, just follow the steps carefully.

Buddy, try SpeedMod Kernel with DarkyROM. Trust me, you won't go back.
Even with 3G, Sync, Music & video playbacks, my I9000 has about 60% battery at the end of the day.
& of course, benchmark is about 1.9 to 2k ;-)

MIUI always gave me trouble with constant FCs.I've tried varius versions and not even one was stable.This is the most annoying thing in MIUI there is no stable version,only unstable roms full of regressions.I always end up in stock roms
I should point out that i am an avid flasher and i have the phone for over a year so i know exactly what i am talking about.

I've tried most of miui roms and I won't be going back anytime soon.
1) Theme app not working consistently. Sometimes it hangs and doesnt load anything, other times it just FC's
3) Battery, whatever they say is rank compared to a Samsung rom
4) Laggy browsers. This is was got me really REALLY frustrated.
5) No radio
6) Updated every Friday my arse. Only reason they are updated all the time is because there is so many bugs and ALWAYS something not working lol
7) The whole modification thing is a bit of a fallacy if you ask me. There's only so much you can change. Icons and wallpapers basically and most that are available are crap or just a mashup of other themes mixed with different wallpapers.
I could go on all day
I'm much happier on Samsung based roms.
They work.
You can theme them
Battery is lots better

[Q] HORRIBLE camcorder quality!

Hey everyone. This is only my second post here (I usually use google to solve all of my problems) but I can't figure this out for the life of me. I rooted my phone a couple months back, and flashed Cyanogenmod 6. All was well, except I noticed the camcorder's quality went from OK to dreadful. I figured "okay, maybe it's the ROM. I'll flash AOSP 0.9.9.2."..... no luck, same problem. And in AOSP, the camera app also crashes sometimes. Does anyone have an idea of what could be going wrong? Thanks in advance!

This is because the working camera driver for custom builds is a hack at best. Until one of the later patches, it would cause the camera force-close on double-tap zoom. It's mostly stable on the camera side now (although picture quality still doesn't match the stock firmware), but the camcorder size has a lot of room for improvement.
Hopefully one day someone will step up and finish the job (or one day I'll stop being lazy and do it).

thanks for the response. another question, if you feel like helping haha. What would you say is the fastest, most stable rom for the CDMA hero as of now?

didnt you just ask that in theimpaelers thread witch myself and theimpaeler awnserd

i...............uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh maybe. yeah. it's been a long day and i'm getting forgetful.. i actually did forget i already asked that. sorry, i now feel like an idiot =)

its what im here for lol.

actually, my phone was so slow stock i couldn't send an sms message without keyboard lag.
i'm willing to sacrifice some stability for a major increase in performance.

did u ever do the software update because it fixed that

The latest OTA updates brought bugfixes and improvements in speed. I would highly recommend revisiting the stock firmware if you haven't used the latest updates.
If you're looking to make it snappier, I would suggest the ZenKernel or even the DecaFuct kernel if you don't mind it breaking your trackball backlight.
I was serious about the stock firmware being the most stable. I'm running it myself (albeit with an overclocked kernel), and the only issue I've found with it so far is that Facebook for HTC Sense is no longer able to sync contact photos (probably due to a Facebook API change). CM7 on the Hero still has many issues to be fixed.

[Q] Is there a fix for wi-fi dropout at -88dBM?

Hi All,
I'm wanting to know if there is a fix for the wi-fi dropping perfectly useable signals at -88dBM since HTC's Gingerbread update?
I am now S-OFF and rooted, and have recently installed Android Revolution HD as my ROM, as this promised 'improved wi-fi drivers', but this sadly hasn't included a fix for this issue.
I would've thought this would be top of the list for developers as there have been many complaints by users since 'upgrading' from Froyo.
Any advice would be appreciated...
Many thanks.

Anyone? This is a major issue for me.

i think its an issue with all gingerbread roms, maybe you could try turning "best wifi performance" on.
i thought maybe it was working for me as i think it dropped less, it does use considerably more battery though.

That's the main reason I have S-OFFed my phone, and since then I have tried a lot of updates ( Roms, Kernels, Radios...), without any luck so far.
Returning to Froyo may be our best bet but I do not know if it is feasible yet.

Yes, I thought this would've been a quick fix for the developers.
If I can downgrade to Froyo, I will do so in an instant!

Did anyone find a workaround for the wifi issue ? I am quite surprised that there aren't more people complaining about it...

+1
And when ever anyone asks about it, there is deadly silence. I would have thought that some of the excelent devs on here would at least have some opinions to share on possible ways forward or not ?

[Q] question about rooting my nexus one

OK.guys I have a stock n1 running 2.3.6 but I am tired of the wifi issue my question is if I root does this fix the issue and also what are the benefits of rooting and which is the best method and rom
Thanks in advance

Can't answer for certainty because we don't know if your problem is software or hardware related.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

my wifi keep on droping off when i google it i see its a problem with the n1
hope this helps

I haven't run stock since Froyo came out, but I haven't had any issues with my wifi, so if it is an issue with software, it doesn't seem like it exists in CyanogenMod. But as baseballfanz mentioned, it is too difficult to determine whether your issue is hardware or software. If it is software, it should be fixed. The two most popular custom ROMs are CyanogenMod and MIUI. I know CyanogenMod covers a lot of the additional features on their website, I am not sure about MIUI, but both probably include better perfomance and battery life, along with a ton of extra features.

Never had any WiFi issues myself or heard of anyone else having any with the N1. I suppose you could TRY another rom but I'm not sure if that would work. If you do I would recommend a cyanogenmod simply because theres so many people using that if anyone else has had this issue its probably been reported and solved if it was a software problem. Always worth a hot and if nothing else theres more to do with a rooted phone anyway.
Good luck, hope you'll let us know how you get on.

There are many people reporting Wi-Fi issues on the Nexus One on a stock ROM after the 2.3.6 update. Many threads in this forum, as well as google's support forum...

Root anyway
Too many benefits and too much fun not to--
Full image backups
Better app managemet
Faster Updates
Ability to run Sense roms
Overclocking
etc
etc

ok ok you guys twisted my arm lol i am going to install cm7.1 let you know how this runs

If you are not rooted yet back up phone with an app like MyBackUp Pro and copy sdcard to pc
Include System Wipe as part of wiping phone before flashing new rom
Best Recovery--latest non-beta Amon_Ra
Wiki has good root info--

not worried about apps all free app can download so not going to back up lol

Your Brave
It backs up more than apps--does System/Home Screens/Bookmarks/SMS/MMS/Playlists etc
Def do your sdcard
Good Luck

brave you say lol
its a new phone so i dont have anything i want to keep in it new as in new to me but a used phone

hey guy sorry took long to report i sucessfully rooted my n1 rubbing cm7 are there any good sense roms i could try i really like the sense interface thanks alot

Check in the Nexus One Android Development forum, or look at the Nexus One wiki, which lists more roms as well. I just went to the Development forum myself and did a search for "sense", there's multiple Sense roms in that forum.
Good luck.

I loaded a runnymedemod007 v007 ROM RUNNING GREAT SO FAR

Hey where Is my manners THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE ASSISTANCE !!!

Do custom roms suffer the same touch latency issue as stock rom?

Title explains it all. I'm about to pull the trigger and upgrade to the 3T, and I'm curious if custom roms have the same issue or if devs can edit their rom's source code to improve it.
I mean, I'm upgrading either way, but it'd be really great to not have to wait for OnePlus to push a fix.

i dont notice any lag on stock

It's gotten some press on lots of different sites. It doesn't seem like a major issue, and it certainly isn't a deal breaker. Still, issues like this shouldn't exist on a flagship device.

Had mine for a week now. No visible lag on stock or custom currently on OOS 4.02

Yeah...the issue is very annoying. And it's a shame that OnePlus released the device with this issue.
For those, who are not experiencing this issue: I does not relate to any performance problem or lagging. It's simply the issue that touch events are processed with a slight delay, which is sooo bad while e.g. typing a message. I'm not the fastest typer/writer (but also not the slowest), but I can notice this delay everytime I type a letter.

and a buch more by googling "touch latency oneplus 3"
As far as what I've read: It is not possible to fix the issue using a custom ROM as the TouchScreen-Firmware ist closed source. Unfortunately as this issue is so bad!

I guess we'll be waiting for OnePlus, then.
Fortunately, they've at least acknowledged the issue publicly and promised a fix. From what I can see, they've done better and better with their software with each release, so I'm hopeful that they'll address it sooner rather than later.

I notice this tho and as carl pei said first priority is nougat after that the issue with touch latency hope the gonna fix it after the Chinese new year when they get back to work. It's kinda annoying to have this every day. If some one want to test just enable finger touches in developer option and swipe up down left and right you can see that the point is behind your fingers that is what touch latency delay is.

I really love this phone, but the latency and wifi issues are pretty annoying....
So there is no way a custom ROM + kernel combination can improve that issues? Maybe through tinkering with the touch boost? This issue exists since the release of the 3, so it's disappointing that they haven't fixed it till now... This doesn't help to strengthen my hope for an improvement in that area.

I really don't see the problem here... I've been using my phone for the past 2 months or so and I think touch response is great! Coming from a Oneplus One I don't notice any difference either.

Nope not possible it's a firmware part and this is closed source so you and we all have to wait for oneplus to fix it !
