CM-7 non motoblur
I def recommend cm7,its gingerbread 2.3.4 ,without moto blur customizable no need for overclocking apps everything is set by defult and themes that make the phone apps transparent

[Q] Miui Apps

I've been playing around the Miui rom and there are some really neat apps that I would love to have on CM's rom. File explorer with the way it organizes apks, music files, and etc and the traffic monitor app that tells you everything bandwidth you used and whatever.
Is there anyway we can port them over?
Im trying to find out the same thing. The framework is different so it may be hard but if someone could it would be awesome.
the miui music app rocks! Been using it on my Galaxy s, trying tonight on Desire Z aswell.
well, MIUI Framework is different and it wont work at all in other roms. But why do you want to use its app for another rom? is there something wrong with MIUI that you dont like ?
I don't like how miui looks more like the iphone os, I like the way the stock Android looks, hence why I'm using cyanogen mod.

So do what I do and use an alternative launcher like launcherpro or adw. Works flawlessly.

Ah... I love MIUI and every part of it. Of course. The normal stock android feel is also my fav.

Miui has really improved since the last comment has been posted. Its super rootytooty now, in case anyone wants to try it, and it can be themed outrageously to make it look like android os, if you don't like the iphone-ish theme.
Anyway, I kind of like the op's thoughts. I wouldn't mind a few miui apps on mexdroid, for example. Flashing and restoring between roms for a few nice features is troublesome ._.

You can install some of MIUI application on other roms, for example file explorer. I copied that from miui rom zip and it worked well for me on my ICS (no MIUI) rom.

MIUI default theme really looks like iOS yeah but you can change it very easily.
I'm using ADW Ex so i can customize my homescreen and use an appdrawer.
The lack of appdrawer seems to me like the main reason why MIUI looks like iOS. So you just need to install the launcher you want (or enable the MIUI app drawer with the MIUI Extended settings mod) and delete all icons on your homescreens to make your MIUI rom more like the stock one.
MIUI Theming engine is the best and that's what i would like to be ported on other Roms.

I'm using the ICS Rom for defy here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353003
So far i didn't came into any problem. The battery is working fine, charge up to 100%. Except for the Microphone(for apps) and Camera.
ICS is the latest android version, Which I Think only Nexus S2 has it. (correct me if I'm wrong). In terms of looks, It is AMAZING! User interface is also very good. In my opinion, my phone now runs faster than my stock android 2.3.6 as i now have more free RAM.

i think you meant galaxy nexus but afaik the nexus s has it too. anyways, the ics is a significant milestone in android history, kinda like android 2.0. redesigned UI (with the beautiful holo theme), a bunch of new features. for example: native hardware accelerated UI (the gpu renders the effects and animations, and this makes them much smoother), native multi-core cpu support, and loads of other stuff. of course, with our locked bootloader, we only have some of these features, since were stuck on froyo/gb kernel. but its definitely worth a try, even in this unstable/alpha version

Comparison of sense and cm9/10

hey,
i always had the confusion about which rom was better for our phone, so i decided to make a list of pros' and cons' of both 2.3.5 sense and 4.0/4.1 roms
2.3.5 HTC SENSE 2.1 and 3.5
PROS'
1. Complete hardware compatibility, which means no hardware bugs like camera, bluetooth etc.
2. FB and Twitter integration builtin, which automatically syncs the contact pictures which make them look better.
3. The Rosie launcher(stock HTC launcher) looks beautiful and has good number of widgets.
4. HTC SENSE has accelerometer based gestures like filp to silent, in pocket mode etc.
5. Office and other utilities directly downloadable form HTC HUB.
CONS'
1. Not the latest and greatest in the world of android.
2. Not as customizable as CM builds.
3. Can't change the pixel density due to non agreeing HTC framework. (you can, but it makes the apps go wonky).
CM9/10 (ICS AND JELLYBEAN)
PROS'
1. Extremely good battery life.
2. Tons of customization options like changable theme, pixel density etc.
3. Many custom roms such as MIUI and Vanilla based roms.
4. JB is particularly fast.
5. ICS exclusive apps.
CONS'
1. Bad quality of pictures taken by camera due to unavailability of lib files ( the amazing devs have had to apply some nasty hacks to get them working).
2. Some apps may forceclose (that depends on the usage, although its getting rarer and rarer.)
3. No builtin Fb and Twitter integration, so one should use third party apps.
4. Not as good as SENSE aesthetically.
CONCLUSION
in a nutshell, if you want fast stable fussfree operator, go for Sense. If you want to have complete control of what your phone does and want to mod it till it begs for mercy (like me ) , then go for cm9/10
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE CONFUSED BETWEEN ICS AND JB
1. JB is wayyyyy smoother than ICS
2. JB has no native support for a2sd so you must flash data2sd script
3. Playstore apps depend on the dpi settings.. so as long as you have 160 dpi, there wont be a problem
4. JB has better battery in my opinion.
5. Both have their own bugs, but i believe ICS is more stable(marginally) but Jb is not bad.
6. Both cameras are good enough for high-light photography,.
7. They record videos, but you need to use a thirdparty app to access videos..
modpunks JB rom has a working camera,..
I prefer JB over ICS anyday..
hope it helps..
Cheers!!

it does, try taking pictures of dark objects. the shutter and the flash are not synced in cm9. so the shutter operates a splits econd after it is supposed to, thereby giving shadowy objects. on the other hand 2.3.5 is much much better.. ill try to upload some screen shots as soon as i can..

Don't forget CM 7.2 - fast, stable, customisable everything works (except possibly usb tethering), only it's Gingerbread so people find that a bit dull. Still if you want a ROM that uses all your phones features without annoying bugs and without Sense getting in the way and hogging your RAM then it's a winner.
there are ways in which you can improve the speed of sense roms and increase the battery life of ICS roms. I mean there is a way to make both GB and ICS equal. but that would be hard. Its definitely down to the usage patterns of various individuals. Whether you use data2sd, link2sd, app2sd or not, your brightness levels and et-al. Using whatever2sd reduces battery life. Its always been the bone of contention, this debate whether to use something which our phone has been designed to run well or to use something which google keeps on improving....

frankly anyone who has tasted cm7 will want to use cm9.. . once you get the cyanogenmagic, you cant stop really..
CM7 is good but 3D graphic in CM7 is bad - just only 14 fps so I prefer sense ( 3D graphic score = 24-25 fps )

They are alright, but not as great as the hardware is able to capture. I'm not sure about how all that stuff works but surely if we can get good quality on an older version wouldn't it be able to be ported forward? If you zoom in a bit there is noticeable noise in the picture.

When I installed CM9 the phone app didn't work - reflashed and it still didn't work. call me old fashioned, but I want a phone that can make and receive calls, not a tiny tablet. Also I want a phone that can take half decent photos.
When (and if) CM9 becomes fully functional and stable on the WFS, I'll give it another go because it looks nice and runs well if you don't mind the bugs...
Extremely good battery life for ics? Nah.
