First impression of overnight/standby battery life is good. Of course without 1% battery increments it's hard to tell for sure. I really hope that feature returns soon.
Definately not complaining though, forgot how much I love this rom,(except home launcher which is replaced easy of course).
Thanks to all coninuing development on D2, incl MIUI !

I'm still getting superuser errors. In my last post I mentioned that I SBF'ed back to Froyo to start all over again. Rooted with the D3 One-Click method. I'm able to access apps like Root Explorer but it's not allowing me to mount the system once pushing the R/W to R/O. It does nothing. Then I head back over to the Terminal Emulator and type su and get permission denied as usual. Then it keeps telling me I need to enable Superuser by default in the settings of the Superuser app which I don't even see. I've never had any of this trouble before getting Superuser permission and setting everything up.

I checked for location of busybox and su and they are both located in the /system/xbin instead of /system/bin which is fine. This led me to manually try to move original copies of busybox and su to /system/bin instead of /xbin but I cannot do that since it's not allowing me to mount the system in Root Explorer.

I'm out of ideas.

Well, looks like I finally fixed it after a few minutes. I don't know why it kept happening this way but I had the latest Superuser, which I had installed it manually several times, but it kept bringing up an old version of Superuser. I kept trying to update it to a newer one but it kept failing to update. Then oddly it said I had the latest version installed but it didn't look the same as the one I had when on CM7. So I had to go to Root Explorer, do a complete search of Superuser and apparently there was more than 1 old version of Superuser even though I had already put a fresh copy (latest version) on the SD Card. So I just went ahead and deleted every single Superuser.apk I could find. There should have only been 2 (old version and latest version). Once done, I put the latest one on the SD Card, rebooted, reinstalled and it finally came up with the new version.

The problem that kept confusing me was that I did not install the old version, even when Superuser wasn't even installed. I would then install the latest version and kept getting the old version of it. I have no idea why it kept doing that so by deleting all trace of it, it finally allowed the latest version to take over which allowed me to enable Root by default and solve all the problems (even being granted su permission in the Emulator).

What a pain in the arse.

As I replied to theSwaggeR earlier, but maybe got overlooked..
You do in fact have to enable root privileges in SU. But, I believe it is a DIFFERENT version entirely, not an older version. The app icon looks like a certificate with an award ribbon on it. And it was hard to find it on the default miui home setup. But once I had everything organized with Adw Ex, there it was.
Enabled root, and all good
I actually like this feature, custom rom with ability to secure your phone if needed.

Yeah, I had the newest one (with the Certificate icon) from the beginning. That was the one I was trying to get to install the entire time but, like I said, the older versions kept getting installed and keeping the newest one from coming up. Why it did that is beyond me. It's why I couldn't figure out why I couldn't find the "enable Root" in the Settings till I figured out that I was still on an older version of Superuser no matter how many times I uninstalled it, reinstalled the new one over and over again, lol.

I would recommend people to get rid of all previous Superuser apps before putting a new one on there.

If framework doesn't keep up with the ports I will for you guys. I have an easy to apply overlay. It is the base rom that is the hardest which we have now.

It's nice that someone is willing to support MIUI. It's the most original ROM for the D2 right now, IMO. I love it, and I know many other people do aswell.

Either way, I'm starting a new job next month. You'll have a donation your way when I get paid.

Runs fantastically, battery life is great.

I'm not positive what fixed it, but google talk started working after I kept messing with different settings.

also, restoring settings from the Froyo build will cause this fantastic bootloop where it will boot until it gets connection to carrier, then reboot. Fixed by quickly hitting airplane mode and then factory reset

They will, I am not doing a second .23 update for the scrollable widgets as it just feels like too much extra work for a minor thing especially when the next release this friday will have it as well. Speaking of which were moving to defy next release. You should see much better battery.
