Hey again everyone =)
So the new Nova Launcher 2.0 beta has been out for a little while and i finally got around to installing it.
If like me, you love Nova Launcher, then you might want to check out the video i did showing off some of it's cool features, some old, some new
You can also head over to their thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071 ) here on XDA to download it yourself, although i've also included the link in the video about section for convenience =)
Cheers, hope you all enjoy Nova as much as i do!

Looks really cool!
Thanks.
It looks very nice, thanks for this video but as mrbubba said, it doesn't seem to have so more features. I prefer Apex but this new version can change my opinion. :fingers-crossed:

I would like to know everyone's opinion of the best MIUI ROM and why. I want to try one out but there are so many different kinds.

I've been happily using the MIUI.us release for a while.
MIUI is a Chinese ROM, the other ones are just translated versions of the same ROM with some minor changes. In ROM Manager, there's the original Chinese MIUI, MIUI.us, MIUI Android, and MIUI-PT.
MIUI.us is the most popular of the 3, haven't used MIUI-PT, but I'd assume it's not much different.
Not really much of a difference. There are a few that remove a few apps and such, but as far as settings and such I don't see much of a difference

Seriously that whole miui debacle is a mess. I don't even THINK of trying it because there are 13425 of them to pick from and barely any documentation on what makes them different! But honestly if i was gonna try it, it would be the official miui usa release. Or better yet i might just go buy an iphone
Meh.
I'd go with the MIUI.us version off of their site. Most frequently updated, less buggy, smooth, negligible speed difference between it and the other "optimized" versions of ROM Manager. Like mentioned above, some just add or remove some apps and other minor stuff. MIUI.us is the official "unofficial" MIUI translation, as mentioned on the chinese MIUI site.
It really doesn't matter which one you flash. Once you've installed the Simpson's theme, it's all money
Yeah just install MIUI.us through ROM Manager (The version on ROM Manager is up to date). It has the best english translation, and its the most used by far.
And I must say, MIUI is a very nice ROM, by far the most user-friendly. It has a somewhat iPhone-like UI, but much nicer looking. It's heavily customizable, but I'm quite fond of the defautl theme that's pre-installed with the latest MIUI.us
I personally prefer Cyanogenmod myself, but if I was going to choose a phone for a non-power user, it would be an Android phone, and I would install MIUI on it.
Thanks for all your replies. I understand there is no app drawer in MIUI if I'm not mistaken. I would like to know if there is a way to put this in the rom. Or an app that can do this or something similar because for me I need it to be organized. Thanks for your help in advance.

This. If you want Tmo app drawerish and launcher, you could push Launcher2. I did that for awhile (break from cyanawesome)

MIUI.us Official with LauncherPRO will give you the best experience. I personally like the UI of MIUI and I don't miss the app drawer too much. It just takes a little getting used to. Plus, having 9 homescreens is pretty cool =p
Yeah, the default launcher with MIUI is more like the iphone launcher. All your app icons are on the many home screens. However you can easily install any other launcher, my favorite is Go Launcher.

I was wondering the whole 4 different versions of MIUI from Rom manager myself. I NEVER flash roms from Rom manager, only from recovery but I do download from Rom manager occasionally. I have been using MIUI.us WITH launcher pro. I LOVE the rom, but do not like the iphone launcher. An app drawer is a must for me, and I use too many widgets to use the default iphone launcher. I know you can use widgets on the default launcher but it's a lot easier with launcher pro to just long press and add them. I'm a big fan of Sense, have always stuck with it over CM7 (except on my Nook of course) but I figured I needed a change. So far MIUI is the most stable ROM I've EVER used outside of the stock rom (which isn't always stable......ask any VZW BB Tour owner when OS 5 was "officially" released).
Point is MIUI is a really great ROM. Many criticize it because it looks like an iphone at first, but with a new launcher, it's surely pure android. Enjoy.
you should just try one and see for urself... one thing i love about MIUI is how easy it is to customize the themes and the variety of themes available directly on the phone... not like CM where u have to find the theme in the forum or market... definatly give it a try
im looking for a rom with lots of eye candy..i tried merge but i didnt like the 2.2 lockscreen and i couldnt change it for some reason...anyone have any other ideas
Use widget locker to change the lockscreen.
If you want a different ROM with eye candy try Swagged. I've never tried it myself but it's supposed to be a pretty popular ROM with aesthetic tweaks.
Alright I will check that out thanks for the response
If you want eye candy and speed check out Sinister's new release Sinister ROM RLV9 it is supposed to be really stable and just about EVERYTHING is working. If you like a good snappy sense ROM, I am in love with the Prime XL 3D ROM, which has Beats Audio and Sense 3.5. It is super responsive and has so many features and goodies your jaw will drop. I love the 3d animations on the home screen, native Power+ home screen shot, prime tweaks, and all the other 3.5 goodness.
Blazing Roms Hybrid 1.1 started off buggy, but it seems like the ROM is settling in now that I've had it for a day and is pretty sweet.
Flyer express 4g has some resizing issues but soon to be a daily

I just flashed this ROM today... and I'm still playing around with it... but is it missing the Voice software that my stock came with? (Voice instructions... Driving mode... Ect)... I installed the Google files suggested...
Also, I'm not seeing Swipe at all...
Swype isn't there, I just signed up for the Swype Beta and got it back...the keyboard on this version of Swype is actually preferable to stock imo
Awesome!! Thanx so much for the quick reply...
Cm will be missing alot of extras that came with our phone... but extra customization features that didn't..
Personally I like touchwiz and tw framework apps like the camera and mms app so I stick with roms based of stock.. still fast and look great..
That is till miui drops

Is this your first time using CM? It's the most barebones rom you can get, there won't be any extra software installed like on other roms. It's basically just the core files needed for the phone to operate plus some tweaks & customization options, so you'll have to manually add things like Swype and Driving mode. This is what *I* love about CM though, it's almost like a 'build your own rom' deal.
I'll stick with TW based roms, might try out MIUI. Using the stock android camera, calendar...no thanks. The TW roms are just as fast. I noticed nothing working faster running the CM7 build which is the usual want from everyone at the expense of good looking and more features(not tweaks).
I just flashed CM9 on my Nexus S, it's meh.

thats whats so great about android as opposed to other devices. Not everyone agrees with your opinions so you can have the software you like and I can have the software I like.

Well then welcome to the wonderful, addictive world of Android If you like to customize then stick with CM7. It's pretty safe to assume that development for this phone is gonna be very good. There are a lot of themes on the market, just search "CM7 theme".

If you don't want tw, wait for miui. Theme chooser sucks. Miui destroys everything as far as theme customization goes. You can mix and match parts of different themes.

Ohhhh.... Intrigued!!! I like the sounds of that!
A new user interface from Samsung, termed Pure Breeze UI has been released and Android users, especially those that are intent on keeping their phone screens neat and organized should go and try it! Samsung has said that the main focus of this user interface will be proper organization of the widgets and more streamlined application managing.
available in both free and paid versions
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.smcl.spblauncherlite&hl=en
The Lite version is free and has the same features as the full version, but with some limitations on the number of items you can organize. You can easily switch between Pure Breeze and your default home screen by a simple change in the Settings application.
Enjoy Pure Breeze, and get simply organized!

The reviews on the Play Store don't look too promising... I tend to trust the reviews as well as Android users tend to be fairly honest when it comes to reviewing apps. It doesn't look like it was updated recently either??

Hi everyone!
Im so in love with the specs and and formfactor of the N7 and I kinda like the stock Holo theme too, especially over TouchWiz and the likes, but its just getting boring after a while unlike Sony's Xperia UI on their recent devices such as the Xperia Tablet Z. Since they share the same screen resolution it doesn't seem to be a hard job to adopt the complete UI for an expert. I guess i can't just simply flash a Tablet Z's fw onto the N7, it would broke. Is there anyone in the same boat with me and also have some expertise in doing it? Not sure if that's an issue but they're also not on the same fw version.
I wouldn't be surprised if it has been discussed earlier because Sony's UI is just simply mindblowing and N7 is getting so popular with the 2013 version especially.
Please let me know if it is possible to make in some way ot should I get the Tablet Z instead.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Mate,
Thank you for that! That's a start! Could you please shoot some screens and tell me ihow similar it gets with that launcher? I actually really do like the the way you unlock the device.
I have tried it and it does look nice but the app drawer is not right for the density of our n7.
Does anyone know what the stock lcd density the tablet z uses?. I will also ask in the tablet z forum.
Also maybe an amazing dev can chef us up a xperia based rom .pretty please :angel:
Would be aswesome to have Xperia UI in this tablet!! is it confirmed to be working that shared app???
