[Q] MIUI porting - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Long time I haven't tweaked anything on Android.
In the "old times" (MIUI v2, GingerBread) porting MIUI rom was easy since CM7 is available for the device.
The whole MIUI core was based on CM7.
What about now ?
I can't live without MIUI and I love small form factor, so I think I'll buy this phone and try to port MIUI if it's not there yet.
Any information may be useful

I'm so frustrated there's no Miui for S4 mini yet. I had a S2 with miui for 2 years, and now I miss miui so much.
Please someone port miui for this phone :angel:

[Q] MIUI/AOSP explain the difference to a n00b please

OK so I have flashed new ROMs onto my desire at least 50 times now, flashed new kernels and even edited my own themes, all with AOSP ROMs like DeFroST etc.
What is the difference (simply put because I am soooo n00b) between an AOSP ROM and a MIUI ROM? Pros/cons for each?
AOSP = Android Open Source Project: A ROM based on stock Android written specifically for the Desire as opposed to a port from the Nexus One
MIUI = A complete redesign of the framework, much like HTC did with Sense
OK I understand, thanks for the reply.

MIUI actually is powered by AOSP Android.
Pros of MIUI: AOSP Android, UI enhancements, user-friendliness, proprietary apps like music and file explorer that use less memory, originally made for Nexus One and HTC Desire, and it's also updated every Friday.
Cons of MIUI: ROM is originally in Chinese and while translations are still available, parts of the ROM still remain in Chinese. The ROM takes a lot of elements from iOS, and while I myself love iOS and Android, the majority of Android fans are die-hard iPhone haters.

Miui ( xperia s )

Seeking for the excellent ROM for my Xperia S I found MIUI rom on the internet and decided to try it, and I almost fell in love with MIUI, but the thing is that the MIUI version is 3.2.22 and it is some kind of old version, on MIUI official website they support only Arc S, and I'm a bit disappointed that I couldn't find my phone, is MIUI dead for Xperia S or what?
Think THIS is what you looking for. And it is updated version. And if you want find ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries & Guides for XS, HERE is your friend.
Well, big thanks for quick and effective response! Good luck

Make own miui rom?

I have a question about this idea.
Xiaomi.eu team dropped support for the Redmi Note 8 Pro due to issues with bricking that can’t be easily recovered from.
But, we now have cfw antibrick system, does anyone know or by any chance have a way to make miui roma based on chinese weekly beta.
On GitHub we have Multilang project to compile inside rom.
Maybe some one know ingbrzy from xiaomi forum, asking him for tree and other advanced stuff which he adds to roms for other types of phones.
I know we have custom roms, but i like stock miui rom.
Any help is welcome, if necessary and someone knows the necessary things for making roma, and does not want to say publicly, he can call me at pm, to make it for myself even if I make a hard brick of my cell phone. :laugh:
cheers.
i have same question , but the real question is , is it worth it? i mean we all left miui for same reason basic things are bad no nav bar ram management doesn't exist on miui stock compared to samsung m31 great stock one ui , and after all custom roms try to give you the pixel feeling which is imo better than any isheep phone out there , i hope if someone is able to do something like that , unofficial miui rom wouldn't be as reliable as official miui 12 and will take effort to port and get it customized for us.

If you see forum with relased miui 12 for not so small list of phones, and very big list of "ROMs features (Whats not in Global)", i think yes. It worth it.
It was the same rom for our model with all those extras, so if it continued, we would have a weekly update, but there were a lot of hard bricks so they gave up on further release.
That's why I asked, now we have a cfw antibrick system so we're safe.

MIUI-like ROM with Android 10 or 11?

All the ROMs I see are basic stock android... I want to upgrade to Android 10 or 11 without losing MIUI experience (looks). If its possible with themes on AOSP then that would work as well...
So basically instead of a light fast ROM, a heavily customized one..

You can try using ported MIUI ROMs for whyred, which are based on Android 10 and 11.
These ROMs aren't as perfect as the native ones, but they are pretty decent and could be used as a daily driver with a bit of hiccups here and there.
