Well, I brought myself to removing my CM10.2 and trying the MIUI ROM. It was a very slick, very smooth ROM. I overall enjoyed it. But with it being a ROM of course it had a few minor bugs. And I did have a few dislikes. So I'm gonna list a few things I personally noticed about it. Fell free to post your thoughts and any resolutions to anything I'm gonna lay out.
PROS:
-a smooth, soft feeling touch that was full of color and a very nice setup. The was miui was set up in settings for example was on of a kind. I was not disappointed. The theme app that was there gave me full control of changing the status bar, lock screen, home screen, etc. You have full control of customization. WiFi also seemed to work just fine.
CONS:
- Sadly, my LTE didn't appear to work. I tried adjusting my setting to fix it. No avail and that kinda was frustrating. But with WiFi working it didn't pose to much of a issue. I also experienced to apps for my gallery, and I was unable to delete it because it was a system app. Some of the themes I downloaded froze my phone, causing me to remove my battery and restart my phone. I wasn't bothered by it to much, I'm rather used to having to do that with previous phone.
Over all if you like a fresh and fast ROM you will love MIUI. But with these few issues I went back to cm. As I need my LTE cause my phone is also a work phone and I need the fastest internet I can get. So feel free to post your thoughts on MIUI and any fixes. Because I would like to switch back and continue using MIUI.

LTE works you just have to select it in settings when you first flash the rom because it doesn't default on. Reason there are 2 galleries is because MIUI has its own gallery and since we have to use 4.2 camera it comes with its only gallery also hide one in a folder if you dont like one. And theme issue I've never experienced this

Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to flashing back and getting it sorted out

I love the visual development compared to all other ROM.
Looks great.. but I'm still in love with AOSP.
Right out of the box, I think MIUI looks a lot like ios . Maybe too much.
It is a great ROM though, and very user-friendly.
Could I see a screen shot of the phone? Keypad, in call. These are things people over look, but this is our phone is it not? For most if not everyone on here, the only phone they use.

So, I just decided to install the tablet refined XDA Premium HD app and really all I can say is WOW, this app looks amazing and works great on the Gnex. It's like night and day using this as opposed to the regular XDA App or even the regular XDA Premium App.
Also, it's on sale for only 99cents right now on the Play Store.
Definitely recommend it to those of you that get your fix of XDA from your device more than on your PC most of the time.

I'll wait for a few more positive comments. App notoriously sucks from xda. Bought premium in the past, as you can see I don't use it.

I bought it a while ago for my N7. It force closes a lot, like every time you leave the app for a second and return. I wouldn't recommend it.

I think it may have updated since then because I have been using it constantly for over one solid day with not a single hiccup in how it runs let alone a force close.

I think these issues are device and rom specific, possibly even kernel specific depending on gov and clock settings. I have yet to encounter that popup while using XDA HD app in almost 2 days. I'm at my PC right now but for the majority of the weekend I have been only using my phone to view XDA and everything has worked perfectly smooth.
I'm using the xda premium app and it works fine. I'm presuming it's for tablets only?
It's powered by ANDROID 4.1..1 JellyBean AOKP ran by Devil Kernel 1.6.0

The XDA Premium HD app is optimized for Tablets but it looks and works amazing on the Gnex using Paranoidandroid.

I'm running 100% stock, odexed and rooted. So I doubt it is device, ROM or kernel specific. Try opening a forum then exiting the app for a minute then open the app and press the back softkey. Alternatively try the xda button at the top right instead of the back softkey.
Please let me know if you get a FC so I can try figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Sounds cool, but I've already bought the XDA Premium app, and I can't be bothered to buy the HD one. The regular one works fine, I can't see how different HD can make text..

I am seriously in no way trying to mess with you but I really cannot recreate your force close issue. I've tried.
Thanks for trying anyways. Well there must be someone who can help. There's heaps of reviews on the Play Store about the FCs so looks like I'm not the only one.
Or maybe it's just a Nexus 7 thing?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I run XDA premium and premium HD on a nexus 7 and havent had a force close problem. I've run it on about 10 roms but I do completely clean installs and full wipes between Rom installs.
Just wanted to report that's its not force closing on mine.
It doesn't mean you don't have an issue or its not a freak conflict with who knows what, just reporting my experience in case its helpful.
I do have a minor issue where when I get a notification and click on it, it just sits loading for a long time. But I don't like notifications I discovered it purely on accident and didn't try to wait it out a really long time or address it, I ran across a thread that said they're working on that issue already.

This was posted up for the GNex guys but I figured everyone with a rooted phone would appreciate it. Everything works except photosphere, and I must say the new way of accessing options is on the fly fast. This is s great improvement. Enjoy!

Working photosphere
I haven't tested yet, but im about to flash it
edit: ok it works if you make the edits to the build.prop as mentioned in that thread. Thing is i think the sensors might be a little screwy on our phone. I'm running paranoid 2.5 and its a little off. Don't know if its the rom but its off
Everything else works great though
I edited my build.prop and flashed this, it looks like a great idea but it doesn't seem to like the gyroscope in the E4GT very well. Everything is backwards.

I flashed the patched version (works on any phone with a gyro without editing build.prop) from Android Police. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...gallery-app-with-new-ui-editing-photo-sphere/
It works fine, and the panorama mode loads and starts to work. However, my gyro is all over the place. left is up, right is diagonally off somewhere, etc etc. I wonder if this is unique. Did / can someone try it out and see if the gyro works right on our device?
So is this worth installing?

I had a camera like this previously is a short lived flash, can't remember what ROM. But it had no issues. Can the gyroscope be corrected?

Because it looks like none of the comments and flashes have been from an E4GT I too would like to know if it can be flashed safely.
Yep, same problem here. Up is left and down is right, left is up and right is down. It's like it uses portrait movements when in landscape mode, etc.

No. Don't worry, its safe to flash. Its just that when you edit your build.prop the xda app picks that up and puts it in your sig lol I don't have a gNex lol

Oh ok haha thanks! Interesting that it did that
Every app reads the build.prop to see what the model is. Since we changed it to say Galaxy Nexus instead of SPH-D710, the XDA app reads the phone as a Nexus. Not very complicated at all.

Hi All,
I'm about to release version 7 of the ROM; however, are there any other modifications people want on the ROM. Mods they saw in other posts that I can possibly implement?
Thanks,
I'm not sure if it has already been added, but I really want Google Now added. That is the biggest thing about JB that I miss
A themed rom would be sweet! It would definitely stand out. ICS dialer would be a great start. Also an optional zip to flash inverted apps.

Goo manager will boot you into recovery if you want in the meantime.

Aroma is amazing. It shows you spent your time doing it and doing it right at that. Im in love
Softkeys are a nice touch for phones with a zero bezel frame.
I would love to see some more customized bootloader animations.
Performance boosts and tweaks are awesome.
So far so good. flashed several times with little or no problems.
Overall Very impressed. Keep it coming!

Seems like a samsung problem, just wondering if anyone on xda has been able to find a fix...
with the new youtube update (v5), there is no longer a time bar on landscape so you can fast forward/rewind a video.. and there's also no way to go back to portrait mode since that whole bottom area is missing (have to minimize the video, and then click back in... )
the app has ad 3-4 updates since its release and the problem is still there. been using v4 as the app is pretty unusable at this point. seems to be an issue with all samsung phones. i really love the new design but it's too bad that there's this huge glaring bug.

Just tried out the new launcher called Aviate - it's in the play store and you have to sign up to get a passcode to try it as its still in beta stage. Got my code this morning and so far it seems to work and is really nice and fluid. I'm always skeptical when it comes to launchers as many of them seem to suck the battery dry quick, but so far this one doesn't. I'm running it over CM 10.2 nightly 09-10-2013. So far everything is good! I'll post later after a bit more use.

I'm not going to use it at this time. They don't recommend it for people who want to customise their phone. Obviously, as it automatically rearranges everything for us.
Very interesting concept though. I'll subscribe to this thread to see how others take to it.
