Hey I was just wondering if it was at all possible to port over the MIUI locscreen and top bar battery to a sense rom. I like MIUI but it just feels too Iphone ish and I love everything that comes in a LeeDroid ROM. The spectrum analyzer in the lockscreen for music looks awesome and I just like the look of it in general and I think the battery being across the whole top of the screen in a thin bar is pretty sweet too.
thanks in advance for any input on this I hope you guys can get something made up
I love the look of the MIUI roms, but my battery didnt last long at all, so I've moved back to a Sense rom now.
My wish is to get the MIUI IME onto this rom, the keyboard in the MIUI is sexy as hell.
Anyone know how to do that?
u can use widget locker if u miss the sense lock screen

Is impossible that Sense rom drain less battery then MIUI (with same preferences).
Some people have terrible battery life with MIUI, and some have excellent battery life. I have somewhere in the middle. Sense always seems to be a bigger battery drain for me though.

this is very strange
The lock screen is tied to the framework or something deep like that, so I think it's hard to do so. But, I'd be happy if someone can do it.
i always have a latest leedroid and a latest MIUI on nandroid, and often switch between the two, i use launcher pro with MIUI as i prefer an app drawer, but out of the two, MIUI has the superior battery life for me.
Thread moved to General.

Why moved to general? This was originally a question of porting the MIUI lockscreen and battery indicator over to a sense ROM... i thought the porting of parts of the system and framework between roms would be considered developing...
Not trying to be rude just wanted to know the reason you moved the thread to an area with less developer traffic which will lead to the thread dying out instead of this possibly having a chance to be done.

Yeah, I saw in the MIUI topics that battery life is meant to be a lot better, but not for me. I permanently have WiFi turned on and use my phone mostly for browsing and sms. On MIUI my battery would last about half a day. On aurax sense I'm on 50% after 16 hours.
I know nothing about the Android coding language, but I've got a degree in Delphi and php, will take a look at the difference in code between the 2 on Sunday and hopefully be able to throw something together. Will keep you posted though.

Well, without looking at any code, I don't see why it can't be done. The lockscreen is more than likely somewhere in the framework, just need to figure out how to extract it.
Going to try get the keyboard and lockscreen out, because they're really sexy.
Like I said, I will look into it tomorrow when I am home with a pc and a decent internet speed.

BUMP I'd really like to see that, too. Any ideas so far, Bending Betty? MIUI is really cool, but I just don't like the iPhone style. I didn't come from a 3GS to the Desire to theme my Desire so that it looks like an iPhone. That just doesn't make very much sense...I could make some Icons for MIUI in Photoshop that don't look so iPhone-ish, but the other things are still there. And that's just annoying. Especially the MIUI Lockscreen is really cool.
I love the spectrum analyzer when music is on and the lol of the lockscreen when battery charging n low etc. also love the battery bar across the top of the screen. those are the two main things I'm looking to have ported over.
I'm busy working on it. Will let you guys know how far I get tomorrow sometime. Only got back home 2 hours ago and its 11pm here, so I'm only going to have a chance tomorrow.

Okay. Im basically done. Just need to tweak a few things here and there.
Unfortunately because of the way the miui rom is coded you're going to have to downllod my rom, which I've edited to work.
Has no iphone feel to it, most miui components, but i will post a full change log when i up the rom.
I know its not exactly what we were going for, but it is the best i can do right now.

Dear all,
I have a EURO Desire Z.
When I use a Sense based ROMs (in fact, stock or Virtuous) I have a fairly nice battery life, that is, in the 30 hours range.
However, with any kind of CM6 or CM7 (or even Vilain ROMs), the battery life is really reduced. Like 12-15h max (almost without any use).
The battery monitor will show that most power is eaten by Cell Standby, Wifi and Bluetooth. I tried different radios, but the result is still the same.
Any idea on what may be wrong ?

Wrong section.... but on subject using the g2 I have noticed sense based roms have better battery life as well which confuses me because for every other phone I've had sense has drained more battery... gingerbread roms are better on battery but still not as good as virtuous .90 with the advanced kernel. Gingervillain has the second best battery life I've experianced though

I apologize for using the wrong forum (most of discussions regarding alternative ROMs happen here, so I didn't really think about going elsewhere).
I'll reposte in the right one, and hopefully get some relevant answers.
I'm seeing the same thing with my G2. I really want to use CM6.1.1 but it just burns through my battery and I haven't been able to figure out why. With the stock G2 ROM I got pretty good battery life. With CM6.1.1 I would burn through 10-15% in 2 hours with almost no use. Stock I would be running Audible all day checking email etc and would use 40% in 10-2 hours at most.
I'm having trouble finding benchmarks or anything of the sort to figure out which ROM for the G2 is the fastest/best. Right now, I'm using CM7 Nightly, and it's definitely a huge improvement over the original, but before I settle in and keep it for good, I'm wondering if there's anything else I should consider.
Don't care about Sense UI or fancy animations or anything like that, just want something fast and simple (although I would like at least most of the CM7-specific options if possible, such as having the status bar at the bottom of the screen). Not interested in SD-based stuff, my SD card is only 8GB and class 2.
I gotta say I really liked coredroid but the mexidroid chili is the best rom I've used in my opinion. Smooth, battery is great, and its easy on the eyes.

Any idea how they compare to Pyromod or SuperCM7? I've seen mention and videos touting both as being very fast.
MeXdroid ghost chili is the smoothest and fastest rom I have used. You have to try it. You will not regret it.

Not a fan of pyromod..that bkahblah dude is a ****. Guys says "you CANT" use his stuff without asking and the first time he released pyro he openly admitted he bit of myjbarr. But whatever some people are cooler than other.
But I'm seriously not being biased when I say the hot chili is as responsive as iphone(yes haters iphone still has the smoothesg os in regards to responsiveness) give it a shot man its painless lol.

I agree with the post above. meXdroidMod is by far the best rom I have ever used. It's fast,stable and nice to look at.

Same here, of all the rom I've tested, MeXdroid Prechilli is the best so far.
Tested:
*Ultimate droid -blackdroid.
*all virtuous roms
*Insertcoin
*all villian series roms
I have to agree on the meXdroid as well.
Getting 3027 on Quadrant off of PyroMod 2.3.5, making it even faster than CM6 was. I would like to jump on the Mexdroid bandwagon, but it was laggy and I got force closes every two seconds (yes, I wiped). It only took me an hour to switch back to PM.
My quadrant with meXdroidMod is 3374. I will upload a screen shot when I get home.

my opinions (since I'm sick of seeing these threads and am having a bad morning ):
-mexdroid is ugly but functional. mjybarr apparently will be putting out a non-themed version.. possibly interested. I like the dev team, they are attentive and helpful.
-pyromod has stuck up, whiny devs (read the first few pages of their thread) and native a2sd on a device that has absolutely no use for external app storage/swap/compcache in the first place. just reeks all around if you ask me.
-all of the cm7 variants (aka every aosp gingerbread rom we have thus far with the exception of a couple built straight from the tmo gingerbread leak) are nearly identical to cm7 out of the box with the exception of adding/removing a few apks here and there, some theming and possibly some settings tweaks (vm heap size, wifi sleep policy, other useless things)... all things you can do yourself from the base. there are some proprietary scripts and apps that some devs have bundled with their releases, but most I've seen feel more like marketing ploys (use our rom because we have this!!!) than anything I'd ever actually utilize.
-there is no such thing as the "fastest" or "best" gingerbread rom. if your measuring stick for what is fastest or best is a quadrant score.. well, I just hope it isn't.
-if you want an aosp gb rom, just get cm7, uninstall adw and any other extraneous system apps, and go. you'll get updates before any of the other roms (considering they're building from CM source) and you will have a huge community to turn to in the event that you run into a bug.
DISCLAIMER: I appreciate, regardless of whether or not I use, all of the hours of work our devs/chefs put into creating cool stuff for us. I am not name-calling, belittling or in any other way demeaning members of xda, simply stating my opinion based off of months and months of observation in the Vision development scene.

I wouldn't say pyromod devs are stuck up. But a little bit jerkish yeah, but who isn't now adays. Mexdroid.....that's exaclt why I haven't used it. I heard it was great fast and the devs are cool but I just don't like the alien cartoon look so I hope they make a normal looking one. Ill jump then. Pyros last two updates I haven't been able to restore my apps. Only rom it has happened on. But like pmc said...your best bet is to just go cm7 since damn near all are based off of it. Or just go personal prefernce after trial and error.

If you know how to tweak and fine tune nothing beats cyanogen. I have tried every rom on the forum.

I just tried the new version of Pyromod today. It really does seem a hair faster than CM, but it's hell on my battery. (Losing about 1% a minute)
I'm going back to Cyanogen right now.
I'm not getting a battery drain with PyroMod 2.3.5. People must really be addicted to Angry Birds for that.
Sent from a Western Union telegram.
Lol, I promise you, Angry Birds wasn't the problem. I don't use my phone for games.
I was experiencing a battery drain when the phone was sitting on my desk with the screen off. I don't use facebook or twitter (and I uninstalled the apps that came preloaded with the ROM) and I turned my RSS reader/podcast updates off just to make sure that wasn't the cause. I even tried turning off mobile data and sync... didn't make a difference. (I also did a battery calibration, and tried three different spare batteries I have)
<shrugs> I'm not sure what caused it, I have a lot of different apps, so it's certainly possible one of them was the cause. The android battery usage report showed that the drain was coming from Screebl (it attributed 98% of battery use to Screebl) but I read some info on the Screebl forum page about Android reporting battery usage incorrectly, and honestly, I've been using Screebl for a long time and I've never had that experience, so I tend to believe the info provided by the Screebl developer on that subject.
Either ways, I'm back to CM 7.1 RC1 now and the battery drain is gone.
Pyromod really was nice looking though, and I gotta admit, it felt a little zippier then the base Cyanogen. If I could figure out what was causing the battery drain, I'd try it again for sure.
Im deciding on which one to stick with... I really love the look and feel of cm10 but the battery life issue is the only thing holding me back whereas with arhd i heard it has great battery life although sense ui doesnt really appeal to me a whole lot but i dont mind it. if you were in my shoes, which one would you recommend and perhaps a small reason why? thanks
cant go wrong with cyanogen.

Try not to ask too much of these, it can annoy developers and start arguments over best rom. It's up to you they, both have their strengths and weaknesses.

how are you finding the battery life?
In my experience, Sense ROMs offer much better standby time - the phone barely uses any battery when in deep-sleep. By comparison, using CM10, your battery will be slowly eaten even when sleeping. I'm not saying it makes CM10 unusable - far from it - but if you might get 3 or 4 days standby on Sense you'll be lucky to get 2 with CM10.
As for screen time - yes, Sense is still better... but it's less noticeable here. Perhaps 4 hours in a Sense ROM might be 3 on CM10.
I am currently running CM10 nightly from 22nd October and the 0.7 Bricked kernel. On balance, I prefer the performance boost in CM10 to the better battery life in Sense but you might have different needs.
Hope this helps you make up your mind.
i think CM10 should use another kernel such as NCX or Bricked for save battery
I recently tried IceColdJelly (AOKP) for a day or too. I missed all the tweaks that was offered in ViperX (Just upgraded HBOOT to 1.28), the customizable features were plenty some, and the ROM was indeed very fast. The battery was also decent, though I didn't check it fully.
However, what I missed the most was the Sense UI, especially the dialer and the way it fits all the contacts together, and all the apps can simply open a contact and view it fully. The AOKP dialer was especially uncomfortable (much bigger than Sense's).
I tried installing another dialer but couldn't make it the ultimate default (whenever receiving a call, the original dialer's animation would pop for a second, then switch to my dialer for the rest of the duration).
Since I didn't find the equivalent of this in AOKP, I skipped town after a day or too in favor of ARHD 12.0, and happy ever since.
battery life is great compared to the stock sense rom. Im using the stock kernel at the moment. Its last about twice as long. No bugs so far.

Yeah I just flashed cm10 today on my phone and I'm going to use it for a week then try out arhd perhaps next week. So far my battery has been dying sortve fast but after a couple of cycles it should get better.

I'm in a similar position, not sure when my carier will release JB, so thinking of taking the plunge and trying CM10. ( as I dont need to upgrade my HBOOT ) for this. Are nightlies stable for daily use incl. camera, wifi etc ? Some people say no issues, others say they have issues. With CM10, how long before a stable is released ?
Many of the issues reported lately had been the result of some kernel commits for a newer mpdecision. SODs mainly. Those changes are now reverted in the latest nightly 27th. I have been using cm10 for the past three months with bricked 0.7 and have never been happier. Has all the tweaks I need with a battery that gets me through all day with 3-4 hours screen time.

How often would you flash the nightlies ? Surely you wouldn't be re-flashing every night ?
I have settled with seadersn edition. There is a separate thread available for it under original android development. It already includes bricked kernel as default.

Hello hello!
So, I've had my evo for ages, (ages in modern tech terms of phones evolving, not an actually long time by human means) and, long story short, got a new phone, don't have the new phone, back on the evo.
I have the twin turbo GTR ROM and the battery life on my phone sucked. It wasn't the ROM, just letting you know that's what I have if it matters for this question!
So, I decided upon getting an extended battery. (I think 3500 or 4500 mAh, I can check when I get home, the case is fairly stuck on right now) and....I can't figure this thing out. The guide said that the phone will charge to 1,500, say 100%, but not truly be full, so you will need to leave it plugged in.....So I did, and upon unplugging it.....dropped, 99, 98, 97, all within about 10 minutes (normal for the evo, not for this new battery I would assume).
So, how do I make this work? What's the trick? I assume I can actually change the battery....settings(?) in the phone. I remember while in recovery seeing something about resetting the battery settings, and I vaguely remember something about DO NOT TOUCH THAT EVER UNLESS YOU KNOW WHY. Would now be a good time?
TL;DR; New extended battery, tips to get the most use of it? Also, since I am rooted and recoveried, what tricks can I do to make it properly read the new battery and it's larger mAh size.
****If you have a good ROM that you must recommend, or kernal, I am okay with that. I have no love for anything on my phone currently, kernel. rom, recovery, I'll replace it if you guys have good suggestions.
Thank you very much in advance!
First off, you want an SBC kernel on your ROM. Mason G if you have gingerbread, which you do, or Mason I if you're on ICS. Mazwoz's if you choose JB. Flash the appropriate kernel, charge the battery. Leave it on the charger for an extra hour for the hell of it and use it normally and let it drain fully. Recharge to full and it should calibrate. If not, there are plenty of battery calibration apps in the market.

Awesome thank you! Also, if you or anyone knows, when i was using my evo last, they just started getting ics on it. I remember 4g was broken, and it seems now with the ics and JB roms, it's the same story. Are they planning on finding fix, or is it known that 4g will mst likely only work on GB? Either way I'll reflash my stuff, make sure I have the right stuff, charge, drain, and see how that goes. I would love to use JB simply to see if project butter helps my phone. The only phones I've used it on are at least 2-6x more powerful than my evo, so I can't tell how much project butter is helping, versus the few extra Ghz and cores.

4G and FFC will likely never work. This device has been losing life at a steady rate. As far as JB, there are some good choices. With the proper set up and tweaking, it can become a daily. Well supported JB ROMs are evervolv, Mazwoz's JB, black bean AOKP, Baked AOKP, RemICS JB, and a couple others. All worth a try.

I've tried most all JB ROMs. I even developed one. They run well but still not as well as original gingerbread. The 2.3.5 kind. Not the CM7 kind. Never really liked it. Personal opinion though. If you want a perfect Gingerbread ROM, check of Decks ReLoaded or some of MBQsniper's work. As for jellybean, try the ones I listed. You'll find something you like, guaranteed.

I have used all the jb ROMs out there. They are usable if you over look the small things. No FFC, GPS, a few glitches in video. Miui is not good yet. But most all builds before 4.2 are very good and 4.2 will be there before long.
If you want a good sense with all bells and whistles sense 3.5 works. Only glitch is htcfacebook.apk but FFC GPS BT everything works. On 3500 battery 1 get 24 hr heavy use 12 hrs streaming videos. Normal use 4 days and minimal use up to 8 days. Same goes for the sense 1.0 ROMs. For me I have not had much luck with 3.0 sense.
I have flashed almost everything out over the past 2 years I have had an evo.
As far as special tricks for extended battery there recall are none. Just plug it in and use it.

I have seen a few people ask this question- (will project butter help my phone?) Well project butter isn't actually a thing, it isn't an app or a system, its more of an idea. And the idea is to make the system run as smooth as butter. You can't dig through your system and find Google.projectbutter.apk lol. It is optimizations and implications for ease of use within the new phones coming out, and likely what they implement won't help on our evos because of our aging out of date hardware.

Are you sure? I know it isn't one thing, but I very clearly remember reading that google did some sneaky tricks to get things running more smoothly, but I felt like it had to do with just basically making the hardware work more effeciently than it currently was.
"How is all of this done you might ask, well Google have used a variety of methods to accomplish it, ranging from something called “vsync timing” (which is making sure there's a consistent frame rate across all screen drawings and animations) and triple buffering, which helps the over frame rates appear a lot better. There's also a nifty system that tries to predict where you’ll go next on your device and help you get there quicker; awesome. Project Butter allows smartphones to take a bit more power from their processors and allows you to step down on accelerate right when it’s needed. "
I read stuff basically like that. I suppose the more correct question would be, will putting a jelly bean OS on my phone make it run smoother than my current GB ROM. I usually understand that the newer ROMs on older phones tend to mean more lag and whatnot, but if the project butter tweaks make it run BETTER than the older ROMs, I may want to use it.
However, I am getting my S2 back tomorrow! That will have JB on it once it's back in my hands, and that thing was silky smooth with ICS so I'm not worried.
As a general question though, have people noticed differences from ICS to JB for speed, responsiveness, and smoothness?
