I am currently running CM7.1, but my only gripe is how plain and boring the call screen is. I know there is an alternative in the market (Full Screen Caller ID) , but I was wondering if it's possible to port the call screen from MIUI or newer sense roms to an AOSP rom or if there are any other options.

Hey all,
So I finally got around to editing my build.prop and I love the extra screen real estate it gives me.
What I DON'T like is how the stock dialer doesn't scale to full screen.
I've tried a couple of dialers from the market, but every one that I've tried insists on having the call log on the dialer screen, forcing the keypad to be even smaller than the stock keypad.
Are there any dialers that will actually give me a keypad that scales to the full screen?
I will have to wait some more time to get stable and fully working JB AOSP ROM, so I am back at CNM 7.2. One thing I really DONT like is trhe look of the caller ID screen. So I am looking for an app to replace it. I already tred the few available on the market "Ultimate Call Screen HD", "HD Full Screen Caller ID" and "Full Screen Caller ID". I tried the rocket dialer option, too. All focus on full HD pictures, but I dont need that. All bug when I make a call, too - the default screen will flicker for a second before showing the replacement.
I will be happy with the look of the stock ICS, and stable behaviour. Please, recommend an app, if you know one
I've heard some people are getting less battery life and more lag while others are saying better battery life and more fluid. What is your experience using lollipop? (especially the 8.4 version since I own one and want to know if I should update or stay with kitkat).
Thank you
I flashed the saudi arabia firmware on my 8.4 and factory reset it, I don't notice any difference with battery life or fluidity but I install nova launcher + disable most of the bloat so it has always been very smooth for me both on kitkat and lollipop.
I really like how multiple users are set up now with both restricted access, screen pinning and temporary guest modes, there is a lot of flexibility there and the user switching has moved to the top of the notification bar so you can switch users at any time.
I like all the new animations and uniform teal & white color scheme, in kitkat some things were black background, some things were white, in lollipop it feels more uniform.
What I dislike is that it feels very much like a phone rom ported to a tablet, the recents menu in kitkat made sense to only cover the bottom of the screen but now its a full screen giant sized card recents menu like on our phones and it just looks gigantic and makes multitasking harder in my opinion. Then on the opposite side of the scale the size of the notification bar has shrunk and is super tiny compared to kitkat, it takes precision to click the buttons now but at least it looks better I guess.
Overall, I do like lollipop because of the way multiple users are handled, improved notifications and sd card read/writing fixed, I just wish the recents menu wasn't replaced really.
Personally, I have found nothing worthwhile in Lollipop. I didn't want to update but since AT&T pushed it OTA I had no choice. It installed the update while I was asleep (after asking me several times during the day if I wanted to apply the update) and now I'm stuck with this ridiculous iPhone color scheme, the previously-mentioned obnoxious "recent apps" screen, the complete crippling of Tasker and the necessity to dig deep into menus to enable/disable mobile data.
I haven't noticed any new features or any significant change in performance (for better or for worse). TouchWiz is still a piece of **** and I'm never buying another Samsung. If I want a UI that looks and feels like iOS, I'll buy a damn iPhone.
I also don't like the new notification panel or the fact that I can't see it on my lock screen. I can either have full-blown notifications blasted across the lock screen (similar to Google Now cards) or nothing at all. There was nothing wrong with simply having the panel's notification icons visible on the lock screen. Now I have to unlock my phone to see if I got an sms or a voicemail.
I suppose that wouldn't be such a big deal if this device had a notification light that I could customize with different colors for email, sms and voicemail.
Based on the new way the OS handles (with no thought to whether there is any difference in performance), I recommend you stick with KitKat. Lollipop just plain sucks.

dont get mad at samsung, at&t was the one that forced it down your throat.
Well I am happy with kitkat, and lollipop has been available since yesterday for my T800 in the UK, I have auto updates disabled, and a found an thread dealing how to cancel an update and remove the update notice, which i have not seen yet.

John.
I know a couple of custom roms have implemented a version of gaming mode however I'm looking for something that emulates the oxygen os version. specifically when answering a call it automatically switching to speakerphone and not taking away focus from the game you're playing. Also the feature to see notifications as a text only overlay on top of screen instead of as a heads up notification. Is there any way to accomplish this on a custom ROM?
I have no contribution in making or getting any benefit from this Rom.

This is MIUI 12 Xiaomi.Eu 20.5.7 Redmi 5 Plus Android 9 (Pie)
Version.
The Rom link is
Miui 12 Stable un-official
Pics are added
PlayStore certified?

Its not playstore certified.
Thank you for this port! I have been using it for a while and so far it does not have any major problems. Everything runs smoothly, unlike the other unofficial Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 ROM posted on this forum. The camera app gives low quality pictures, but that can be fixed by installing a compatible Google Camera. The UI looks great, however I noticed two apparent mistakes. First, in the Control Center the Mobile data label actually does not fit when the UI text size is set to default, and it shows Mobile da...
The second thing is that in music playback notifications the time codes on both sides of the playback slider are way too small and out of place. And they cannot be dismissed even when playback is stopped/paused. Also, sometimes, in the Control center, some quick toggles get greyed out randomly, mostly the Cast and the Screen record buttons. Overall, it is a good ROM, and I am looking forward for any updates.

I will advice you to just disable the control center.
Goto settings>Display>Status Bar>Use Control Center
And turn it off.
I never used control center as it is annoying for me so I did not know about that issue..
Just change the font size and it will be okay.
Actually, the Control Center brought me back to MIUI after 2 months of Havoc OS, so I don't want to get rid of it. I tried changing the font size, but that made the whole UI look a bit ugly. I found an app called MIUI 12 Control Center on Google Play, that offers some customization and makes notifications look a bit more consistent, but that is ridden with bugs. I've seen on YouTube that the newer builds of MIUI 12 have the Control center and the notifications fixed, so I hope OP will update this ROM as soon as possible.

Different fonts make look different. Try to use some other font then. Or you can change the screen resolution to 414 .
