My vote goes to cyanogen mod since miui just didn't feel right. Didn't like the look of the majority of the apps either.
Cm7 ftw.. if you like miui, get an iphone...

miui = polished android. if you like miu you don't necessarily need to get an iphone... JUST CHANGE YOUR LAUNCHER! ITS THAT SIMPLE. I consider miui menu style, popup system, and customization leaps and bounds ahead of stock android look. also this thread won't do justice to the xda'ers who've had miui and that can really comment on this.. would be nice to see this thead in Android General.
Throw a nice theme on cm7 with good looking icos an you have a winner

Only thing I like about it is the messaging pop-up. Other than that it's mostly eye candy to me. No more or less functionality than cm

why do you think the iphone is the most successful smartphone ever made. because iOS looks clean and ordinary folks like the eye candy! android has more features than ios but lacks in the aesthetic department.. where stock android lacks, miui succeeds. ICS is going in the right direction..
Its the most succesful smartphone because people stick with what they know, and most wouldn't know how to use android to its full potential to begin with.
I like the transparent dock of miui and go launcher

Im glad somebody asked this. I was wondering the same thing. I want to try one out, I just don't know which one has the least amount of bugs.
Both are good. I like CM better because it's more flexible and more along the lines of AOSP andriod. I would call it a roided out AOSP rom. With MIUI, once you add a launcher on top, besides the pulldown whats the point? If you want the iphone look then there are alternative's to miui like Espier which is more Iphone like than even miui (at least until apple sues the developer).

try both since each user has their own preference. cm7 has less bugs i believe. i rocked both but right i'm back to ec05 until stable wifi/video gets fixed. both very important to me.

Right now for the Epic, CM7 development is a bit further along than Miui. I've been running CM since the 11th and it just keeps getting better with every new release.
Note: I don't/can't use wimax.

same function but miui is better eye candy. one would be silly to think your only stuck with miui launcher and that any other launcher on top would hinder performance. same goes for cm7 which had adw integrated.

I have been flipping back and forth on my Nexus every day. I like how on Miui you can use the dialer from one theme, mms from another, pulldown bar and boot ani from another, etc but CM7 seems more refined development wise and it has plenty of good themes as well...and CM7 has 4g
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
MIUI is more customizable, and it's basically like a Sense, MotoBlur, or TouchWiz made by Root Developers. That's the main reason I lean to it more then anything, but CM is just so stock and has everything but it has it so minimalistically, and that's why it's better. Both have their pros and cons, no one ROM is perfect, but both are amazing.

I have done a search and have not found the answer I'm looking for what is the difference between roms they have aosp,sense,miui all kinds of different roms what makes them different.... Any links that tell me would be good or any info on them thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Not really...
Sense - Some sense version of HTC sense. Has the stock UI, though its advanced in the more current version; 3.5 is the latest/ Each version offers improvements/features over the previous
AOSP- Android Open Source Project roms are light and fast, and don't have the heavy laggy sense UI on them. They over heavy customization and generally have bettery battery life and performance over sense. Though you lose the Sense integration of some things and apps, over using sense.
MIUI- AOSP rom, but its its own source, not built upon CM. has an Iphone aesthetic looks, but its android. No 4G on the rom, and it offers its own uniqueness you won't get in other roms; such as its lock screen customization.

they all have different advantages and disadvantages AOSP= Android Open Source Project basic google rom offers the opportunity to customize more to your liking offers different UI's like GO launcher and ADW
Sense is an interface laid over android more of an eye candy then anything else in my opinion.
MIUI Chinese iphone clone
The real answer to this question Now that you are rooted you are free to try out anything you want and make your own decision.

I tried all of the roms they got on XDA and the best is to stay with the sense. Personally that is the main reason I chose HTC android over other android devices.
Im running Radiance RC4 right now, and its been running smooth. it has a sense 3.5
I have tried MUIU, Leedroid (currently) and a few others both ASOP and Sense ROMS....but which is considered the wackiest ROM of all?
This forum rocks!!!!
Definitely the one in Italy!
Or the rom from a faulty DHD.

it is for iphone android lovers but it can be turned into a great functioning rom, add a launcher and all thats left is all the options and apps etc.
it really is a good variant of android just not suited to me,i know loads of users love it,theres an ics theme for it as well which looks nice,i used to think it was cack,a lot of effort went into miui though and it shows
For me is not a big deal about ICS but for some it is....here is a comparison I found on YouTube. If I r on the xda app and it doesn't open click on, open in browser.

But if we are talking Motoblur, Sense and TouchWizz....yah Ill take the wizz.
Personally, I think the "official" ICS (LPQ) for the SGS2 seems more like an alpha build than a final product. CM9 nightly version for the i9100 feels more stable than Samsung's LPQ release.
I think I'd just stick with Gingerbread, rather than upgrade to Samsung's ICS builds.
obviously ICS is better the look the feel the speed
Its like saying Tupac vs Sojiua boy
Yes... Another ICS thread!
Much like most of us, I've gotten fed up with the ICS thread phenomenon..
However, I wanted to post this thread for the veterans and Devs.
Of course those of us in the know have been watching the activity escalate in the online feeds, and I have to say it's exciting to see the ramping up of releases and leaks..
We are at the threshold of real ICS goodness. I for one have been watching Kevin's Nova Launcher, since I am not a big fan of TouchWiz. Don't get me wrong, Samsung is impressive at coding.. it's functional and beautiful but too too slow and not enough customization for us hardcore themers.. With a few custom apps I see a gorgeous, lightning fast, better than Vanilla ICS experience coming.
Thoughts?

My thoughts: I don't get the big deal over ICS Now, people running WP7 on the other hand...I can see why they get jacked about OS updates - WP7 sucks exponentially less with each one
I can understand people not liking TouchWiz because of the lack of customization and other reasons but not for being too slow. When I first got my S2 I thought it was blazing fast. OP you really think TouchWiz is too slow?

Touchwiz was "made" for the hardware of this phone.

i think its more the UI that most people don't like. ICS is so much prettier and smoother. for me, give me AOSP and I'll decide how I want my phone to look.
But the biggest reason I don't like TW or Sense or any of those custom UI's is cuz it just delays OS updates that much more cuz of that crap. When the AOSP version does everything the Custom ones do....what do I need the custom one for?

AOSP roms are stock cm9 and cm10... Sense and stuff would be nice, and there was a team working on it in the sprint section and they just died out, MIUI is reported to be in the works still... and don't call the themes people give you as an option "ugly" cause they work hard to get you something to flash, it isn't cool of you to just call them ugly and terrible lol.
We don't NEED roms! Fortunately our phone works very well on stock rom. I am all for custom roms and can't wait for miui and hopefully a sense Rom. Our phone is brand new just give it some time.
I also agree it's bad taste to call peoples work ugly. You don't like the themes don't flash em. Me personally I live the wicked red theme. Because I can't dev I can't make roms and what not so I am extra appreciative. Its not like people are getting paid to do it

Yeah I've used launcher and noticed a lot of lag too. But my friend has an international gs3 and has miui on it and its pretty smooth. I just hope its the same on our device.
I got my phone rooted.. Now what ROM would you recommend? I've moved over from HTC Sense.. so I would like something that has some sense alternatives like favorite contacts widget, bookmarks, and weather. So what would you recommend for me?
FreeGS3...all kinds of mods, a good theme, update me so you can customize your way...you will be very happy..link is in my sig below
I'm loving FreeGS3, but really try them all. Ask yourself a question - Do you want to stay with touchwiz or go with a aosp Rom.
Currently there is only a handful of each. Read the OP before you flash anything. And it wouldn't hurt to backtrack a few pages from the last one and get caught up on what bugs people are talking about.

FreeGS3 user here. Best Rom I've flashed so far and the developer (clark44) is on top of things and talks to his userbase regularly via irc and responds relatively quickly in thread.
I came from the evo4g so I know the feel.
I installed a sense clock lookalike and when I have some free time plan to at least see if I can install a similar contacts/dialer app if I can't get the real deal. Everything else is awesome though, and the TW calendar is definitely better.

I think the reason theres not a lot of roms for the gs3 yet is that the phone is relatively new. Wait... we'll have a ton of them in a month or 2.
Anything with an aosp base for sure. Touchwiz sucks although sense is htc's touchwiz so its about taste i guess. I would flash freegs3 or some other tw based rom and use the dualboot setup as a means of trying some aosp flavor so you can have both while u make up ur mind

Personally I don't mind at all having just a handful of good roms. I'll take quality over quantity any day. Of the devices with tons of roms how many of those are either slight variants of other roms or just not quality? I mean how many roms does there need to be really as long as the themes/mods are plentiful? My 2 cents.

Yeah....what he said
Does dual boot work well with TWRP recovery? Just want to make sure before I try it as I am using the FreeGS3 v0.1.0 on the phone now. It uses Update Me for many mods for that ROM. Been nice and stable ROM for me.
no twrp wont work it gotta be the cwm thats linked on their page
Ok.. btw since CWM it won't work with the CWM Touch Recovery either? The non touch recoveries really suck.
