[q] miui lovers step in!!! - Desire General

So , i was thinking changing from sense to miui.... but havent made my mind yet
could someone who has a little experience on miui roms convince me to switch?
All i ask for is some arguments on miui>sense
please sense/aosp lovers and miui haters dont post here
thanks in advance!

well it seems you already want to switch and dont need much convincing...
seeing as how you will only get biased responses when you ask for only people who love miui to reply. you will only get replies telling you to switch.
only way you can tell is to try it.
but, since you asked for it:
"OMGZ TRY MIUI IZ THE BEST!!!1!11"

The one reason I don't use MIUI at the monent:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
Notice the wrong coloured text for the title/Google T&Cs (white on white)? It stops me using it, as silly as that sounds

As ringer13 said, if you're asking MIUI lovers you will just going to hear the good sides of MIUI. I think it's your decision, some like it some not... You have to try it by yourself. Make a nandroid backup if you don't like it so it isn't a lot of work...
Anyway I've wrote a list of advantages and disadvantages. But it's just my opinion.
Advantages:
Layout (Can also be an disadvantage depends if you're liking the iOS like layout)
Theme Manager (very easy to customize the layout with lot of possibilities)
Fast
Nice Backup Features
File Manager
Music Player (with automatic lyrics)
Notification bar (Quick Settings)
Weekly updates
Disadvantages:
Official release just in Chinese, you have to wait some day until the rom is translated...
Translation errors
FM-Radio isn't working
No 720p recording
As EddyOS said the color errors
I think it's more buggy then Sense
I hope it helped you.

For me I wanted something battery efficient and aosp does that for me. Sense is just a battery killer really. I also really like the apps that come with and how many settings come with the rom. There are minor issues like Eddy said but I couldn't care because they get out weighed. Tbh if you want to see what a rom is like you should be trying it, not asking people if you should use it or not. It's taken me months and months of flashing and now I'm finally settled on miui androids rom.

MIUI convert here. I highly recommend MIUI Au for the best MIUI english experience. The guys do amazing work with the rom and are providing weekly updates and patch fixes to problems as they are found.
In last release *everything* was working, except wifi but that is fixed by flashing an alternative kernel available from the site. Just do a nandroid backup and flash away, if you dont like it, roll back!

To echo what's been said already - backup, flash and try it out.
I flashed the latest version last weekend and kept it for a couple of days. It was a bit of a shock going from an AOSP ROM, almost like learning to use a new OS again.
Not having an app drawer befuddled me - I was poking at the screen waiting for a full apps list to appear
As a ROM it is very polished, looks terrific and has plenty of customisation options. I liked the folder options for home screen. Battery was pretty good too. I can understand why it has so many passionate converts.
I ended up going back to Oxygen though for one reason only - laggy menus. They were driving me nuts, especially as I was setting everything up from new.
I'll keep an eye on the translated versions on the XDA dev page and may try it again though.

I tried it for a very brief time
Way to iPhone for my liking ! .....

My thoughts exactly! I love eye candy and MIUI has such a nice design and concept (my opinion), but it was too laggy for me.

miui is really excellent and a good battery saver rom. in standby it stays more then 2 days for me. with sense i always had to charge it after 1 day.

I use MIUI-XJ X-part.. and i feel it is the best Rom... it isnt laggy a bit.. may be your installation is not perfect.. for me its damn fast... superb battery life..and so much of free space.. and ram.. for those who dont like.. IOS type interface.. you can always use launcher pro.. or go launche ex.. .i have used it too.. and I did not found any laggyness...
Some missing things are FM Radio.. and 720p recording.. which I am not a fan of.
And we might get 720p recording soon.. I miss FM sometime though..
I dont hate any ROM.. always apprecaite work behind it.. but I love MIUI

today screen plug in

right, ive had to do the 'clear storage' thing again on my phone as i was having problems with it.
now ive been using the same kind of set up on the today screen for a LONg while and i want a change.
I dont like the touch flo or windows menue style either.
i put pointui on last night and its good, but there are things i want to change on it but i cant.
so what would you reccomend for me?
my old set up was like this...

Have you tried, or willing to try flashing a custom ROM onto your phone?
The Max Sense interface is based on Sense 2.5 (newest version of Touch Flo), but is HIGHLY configurable. It it doesn't give what you want, I don't now what will!
Energy ROM has it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773
Lots of people also like SPB Mobile Shell, but that is paid software.
i tried SPB demo but there were bits i didnt like, but i cant remember what it was now LOL
i am installing throttle launcher as we speak. ill let you know how i get on.
As for the rom i have still got the stock ROM
Flashing a custom ROM is not difficult. It might give you the home screen you're looking for, and may also alleviate the lag issues you seem to have (based on your signature).
I flashed my first custom ROM last May, and its so good, I immediately started wondering why I waited so long!
im rubbish at doin **** like that and ill probly brick my phone LOL
rubbish excuse i know.
but i also want a super light rom when i do finally do it tho.
throttle launcher is good btw, but when ya flip your screen it all goes away
Read the threads, and follow in the instructions, and you won't brick anything.

See how the first thread is titled "Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs)"? Its really written to be simple and idiot proof. Anyone can do it.
Best thing to do, if you are flashing for the first time, is read as much as you can BEFORE you start. Read the first few pages of each thread, and maybe the last several pages (to see what commons issues people have had). Same with the thread for whatever ROM you choose.
Follow the instructions carefully, and you will be fine. Usually nothing terrible will happen, but maybe just a minor glitch in the process that is not exactly per the instructions. That's why its good to read through the threads. You won't likely encounter a problem, which has not already been found by somebody else and has a solution posted for it somewhere.
Good luck.
fair enough, anyone wanna creat a super super light rom for me were everything works really well now?

i wonder how much a chef would want to create a rom to my specs??
How did you geth the icons on your Today Screen ?
Anything that is based on the sense/flo are pretty bad, they are just as slow. There isn't a ROM out there that is simple and fast, I have tried many of them and they're all bloated.
The fastest version of any of them is the default with the HTC Sense disabled, like you have found.
HTC sense is terrible and slow.
SPB Pocket Plus is descent: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/
The closest thing I can get to Samsung's "Today Plus" from my Sansung Epix...which is awesome and really fast.
This SPB version is ok, the graphics aren't as good as the Samsung version...there are a couple of options missing...like the ability to see missed calls, voice mail, or email or text messages on the today icons...but it runs 10x faster than touchflo3d with maybe 1/4 the space.
I love the touchflo and sense look even more...but they take so much space on the device to run...you can't do much else at the same time.

[q] NEW ROM IDEA!!!!!!! NEED FEEDBACK!!!!!

I made this rom for the needs of my self, and I Am wondering if you guys would like this. Here are some images.

If You Have Suggestions please post them here. Also I am putting the finishing touches on this rom. I will release once I get approval from some devs that I borrowed som images from.
I dunno, it kinda just looks like a themed Sense ROM. I'm sure people will like it though so you should just post it up in development and see what happens.
Man...this is nice! can't to give it a try
Post it up

If you want you could share the setup for others if they want it, because it is heavily themed for a sense rom.
It would be better if you wanted to share a theme rather than a rom.

Suprisingly its about 175 mb
What else is there to this ROM? Zip-align, optimized apps, optimized launcher, custom kernel, Hulu, Updater app, etc. Cause like what everyone else said, it just looks like a theme.
Like what someone else said before, it might be better off just putting the theme up and offering up a ton of mods and customizations.

What he said.
In the long run it might be easier to just release a theme. That way you don't have to take all of the time to fix broken things and what not. Unless of course you really dedicate the time, in which case have at it!
I'm not trying to say its not impressive. It looks great. There are a ton of themes out there and I'm sure there are a lot of people who are interested in another theme. ROMs generally have something about them beside visual modifications.

+1, Looks pretty, but what's under the hood?
Just added a bunch of mods including,
Remaped search button to be used as a camera button
removed data throttling
optimized apps
A lot of battery saving stuff
and a couple more i forgot
It looks like it has a lot of potential! Keep working on it There are a lot of different good Roms out there so you have to kinda step it up to set it apart from the others. but good job
i have to say the images of this rom look AWESOME!!!!!! if it becomes a stable rom when released for every day use. i would highly consider checking this out
but if i can say a IDEA. change the keyboard a little. reminds me of myn's warm keyboard which i didn't like. a dark blue keyboard would look great or the same style you got now but but add like kinda dark blue lines to show how big the keys are for each letter/symbol.
I've Finished Theming the rom. Just need to add some mods and I'll be done.
I really like the blue rosie. Can you make an update file for that??? I dont know if thats possible, but would love to put that on my phone instead of the standard green
Great work
Id rock that s%it!! All day!!
Hell yea bro......looks sick.......
Have you considered making a 4x5 layout version if this theme? 4 columns by 5 rows. A lot of devs and themers are making 4x5 version layouts. The 4x5 layout is the only version some devs use in their roms. Just a thought. Either way great work and thanks for the contribution.

OMG, I'm SO Confused

So, I'm bored with my setup, interested in the Ginger-Sense new builds, but wtf???
I have NO clue what's what....
There's MIK'S, EVOZones (based on Mik's, I guess), Deck's... Synergy, but I can only find a thread in the Incredible section..... Too much to read, too much to digest, my brain is melting
Man, I don't want to flash 6 different ROMS. I just want one that makes a good driver....
I'm leaning toward Mik's 1.01, but I guess there's no power widgets in the taskbar pull down, and I need those... (but he has great themes, man!!)
i'm suggesting deck's rom. been running it for about a month now since i switched from cm
Which aspects of ginger sense appeal to you? Might help us be able to narrow it down for you
That's the problem. I don't really KNOW the different aspects and trying to read the treads is an exercise in futility
miks 1.01 is definitly a daily driver, NO DOUBT! yes thier are no power widgets but you do have the toggles, im sure if enough people request it the good people at mikmik will surly take a dive into it for you.
I had the same problem before I started doing my own dev stuff. Someone requested the skyraider rom to be ported, and since I.made that port, its fulfilles my "what I want from my rom" mental battle.
I couldn't decide if I liked the functionality of sense or the customization aspects of aosp more...and skyraider turned out to be the perfect (and as far as I know, only) hybrid that met both of my requests.
Swyped from my SkyRaider Port
Been running synergy for the last two days and I have to say that its the best ginger sense rom I've ever run.......visit infectedrom.com for more info.......
I ended up flashing Mik's and it's great... just 1 big issue; People Apk FC's....

Thats the thing about android; so many different flavors (fragmentation) and you flash them all leaving you bored out your mind. If we had 1 OS like apple/wp7 we wouldn't get bored because there's nothing to flash lol. Try the windows phone 7 launcher (launcher 7) in the market over your current rom it will keep you busy for a little.
just a suggestion, now might be a fantastic time to try cm7, the rom that u fear most (lol)
I ran CM7 for a long time....
I'm really more interested in the Gingersense ROM's. Other than this people.apk problem, Mik's is friggin' sweet!

It was my mistake. I flashed on of the themes in that forum, but didn't see hat it has not played well with 1.01 in some cases. I guess I was one of those cases.....

yeah mik has went from .5 to 1.01 in just a few weeks and he doesn't update each version he pretty much rebuilds em, so the themers are playing catch up every new version. its a great rom i highly reccomend it!

Already tried that. It keeps hanging at the 4G screen? Any ideas
Synergy is by far the best ROM I have ever used. And its not even officially in beta yet.
Also, your thread title made me think of this.

Debloated Original ROM

Hi guys can you tell me please if there is a ROM that pretty much stock but without that ATT garbage,rooted and may be with few tweaks but pretty much stock ROM ? Cause I am having all kind of little issues with CM10 ..but I just love GUI and stuff ....anyone ?
Thank you !
You could always just root, install titanium backup and uninstall the bloat yourself.
But did you check the development thread?

Yep! Just curious, what issues are you having with Cyanogenmod 10? I'm using it and is 100% better than TouchWiz stock without the bloatware.
Thank you for your reply and actually I kinda lost this topic I created. Now I had few months with my phone and here what I can say including your question on what issue I had. Well first of all there are simply 2 things that I just love in stock and REALLY love to have them on my CM10 or other it sound silly but it's a weather widget and original ring tone I mean it sounds idiotic but I simply can't find this widget on it's own anywhere. I spoke with some guys in IRC channel and he gave me 27 step instruction on how to extract widget from original rom and then make it work on other roms and then actual install ...well I stuck on step 3 so .... never mind that. But I really want to have it on my screen. And that ringtone I can't find it for nothing, I searched here and torrents and everywhere I could not find it. So if someone already extracted that widget that'll make my live so much more. Now to bit more serious stuff. It been some time and I don't know about fresh versions but one I installed when I wrote original post I had major problems with games, frames in games were much lower than on original rom, many times once game is installed in Play Store and you start program and it trying to load actual game data I'd get error message saying device could not be identified download failed, one example I remember is Order and chaos actual game installed in Play Store yet when I started it game gave me error about unknown device, also MX Player had some problems with playing some mkv that I have when original rom no problems ..and other small things as well. Like I said I have not tried it for some time but if someone can point out that widget and ringtones from Original i747 that'll be really nice. And very important game performance. I just load Most Wanted on the phone and I can "feel" it game pulls every bit of cpu and gpu out of the phone cause I can see frame rate and as smooth as it should but game graphic is amazing on that game so don't know.
Anyhow that's pretty much it, once again thank you for your answer and may be someone can point something out for me or give me advice on good rom for games and that damn widget I like so much.
Thanks guys !
I manage to get ringtone name: "over the horizon" all version on internet are not the same as in the phone, similar but not as good. And here is screen shoot of widget I am taken about ... I really like it

I honestly dont go to stock but i remember seeing a apk for the widget im pretty sure if you didnt remove that you could reinstall that on whatever rom you chose
I use intergalactic v1.1. Basically stock plus some tweak. I came from cm10 too but need the all share cast function. Will switch back to cm10 when 4.2 is ready which includes the miracast stuff in default.

Hi guys !
For past several weeks I've been using CM10 ...then they released 10.1 and everything stop working. I had a lot of problems with core apps like play store ,. Bluetooth and alarm and my games crashed a lot as well. I switched to .....pink unicorn and it actually working pretty good, they now have OTA, then for some reason my Order and Chaos start to crash all the time and I had no choice to go back to vanilla.
Thank you for that intergalactic ROM I have not tried it yet but as of 1.6.13 you still think it's good ? I really can use something like that. And in general what's new in Original rom - garbage scene ....is there something new beside intergalactic ?
Thank you !

Use Retired 4G Touch as WIFI Media Device?

I've upgraded to Note 3 and my Galaxy Player 4.0 is getting very long of tooth. Recently charged my retired 4G touch back up and have been using it as a media player.
Has anybody else done this? and what rom are you running? I have Touched by S4 2.2 on the "phone" currently and figure I could go with something way more stream-lined. Interested in any advice on minimal rom with outstanding battery life while maintaining good wifi use as a media player. I do a lot of radio streaming and will be placing a pretty large music library on the sd card.
Also would be interested if there are any power button replacement apps or mods in roms (that mimic LG's knock knock feature perhaps) to extend the life of the old phone's power button. I got a refurb shortly before upgrading to the Note 3 for this issue so I'm leery of the power button failing again.
On the bright side, I'll always have a back up phone with me to activate if something happens to the Note.
Thanks for reading! and thanks for any advice.

+bilgerryan,
Saw the post on your Project X thread and I'd help beta your efforts on a meda player rom.
Don't know if the Galaxy Player rom is the best base for efforts or not though. The stock rom on the Galaxy 4 isn't really anything ground breaking. There are Jelly Bean and Kit Kat roms now for it but I haven't been successful in getting them installed.
I'd be just as happy with a stripped down minimal rom with good music controls and strong battery life. Don't know if this could be done with aggressive de-bloating, or if porting the player rom is better. Maybe a couple profiles: one for battery life and all day music playing, and another souped up for using it as a game device.
I'll keep an eye out for a new thread.

I'm just using it as a model to strip most of the phone type stuff out, I'm using CM10.1 as a base for a more streamlined, stripped down ROM with less bugs. I won't be doing much with it besides making am initial build for those of you that want it... until I retire my device. Don't expect anything spectacular because I still use my device as a phone.
Maybe "until you retire it" as a media device.
What about a stock based Gingerbread rom like Calkulin's?
Super duper fast because it's GB. And battery life can't be beat because of less overhead. He also has music skip mod integrated. Plus he has a bloatware removal tool to lean out the rom. Only issue I forsee is some play store apps may not be compatible with Gingerbread any longer but who cares right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837
Rom download links are gone but I posted a fresh download link a while back in the last post BTW.
I still have quite a bit of stuff stored here. If you can't find something let me know. Cheers - TD
Edit: I have done many mods for that rom. They are posted throughout the thread.

Super duper fast because it's GB. And battery life can't be beat because of less overhead. He also has music skip mod integrated. Plus he has a bloatware removal tool to lean out the rom. Only issue I forsee is some play store apps may not be compatible with Gingerbread any longer but who cares right?

Rom download links are gone but I posted a fresh download link a while back in the last post BTW.
I still have quite a bit of stuff stored here. If you can't find something let me know. Cheers - TD
Edit: I have done many mods for that rom. They are posted throughout the thread.

I already have it, and that's another thing I was looking at because the Galaxy Player's stock ROM is GB. This isn't gonna be quick just something I'm tinkering with because I'll eventually want it when I upgrade at tax time.

Yup, there are going to be a lot of long faces...
GB is the way to go. Extremely fast, way more battery friendly and I think I did extended toggles and some init.d tweaks for it too.
