[Q] Miui Apps

I've been playing around the Miui rom and there are some really neat apps that I would love to have on CM's rom. File explorer with the way it organizes apks, music files, and etc and the traffic monitor app that tells you everything bandwidth you used and whatever.
Is there anyway we can port them over?

Im trying to find out the same thing. The framework is different so it may be hard but if someone could it would be awesome.

the miui music app rocks! Been using it on my Galaxy s, trying tonight on Desire Z aswell.

well, MIUI Framework is different and it wont work at all in other roms. But why do you want to use its app for another rom? is there something wrong with MIUI that you dont like ?

I don't like how miui looks more like the iphone os, I like the way the stock Android looks, hence why I'm using cyanogen mod.

So do what I do and use an alternative launcher like launcherpro or adw. Works flawlessly.

I'm trying miui now with Go Launcher. If I could get the notifications in black I wouldn't see the difference from CM7

Ah... I love MIUI and every part of it. Of course. The normal stock android feel is also my fav.

Miui has really improved since the last comment has been posted. Its super rootytooty now, in case anyone wants to try it, and it can be themed outrageously to make it look like android os, if you don't like the iphone-ish theme.
Anyway, I kind of like the op's thoughts. I wouldn't mind a few miui apps on mexdroid, for example. Flashing and restoring between roms for a few nice features is troublesome ._.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/miui9000devs/ = MIUI MCGv4.3 - 1st June 2011
how is that possible developer jumps from 4.3 to 7.6 version with-in 18days.
Please tell me which is the latest version? and where to download?
Thanks

You can install some of MIUI application on other roms, for example file explorer. I copied that from miui rom zip and it worked well for me on my ICS (no MIUI) rom.

MIUI default theme really looks like iOS yeah but you can change it very easily.
I'm using ADW Ex so i can customize my homescreen and use an appdrawer.
The lack of appdrawer seems to me like the main reason why MIUI looks like iOS. So you just need to install the launcher you want (or enable the MIUI app drawer with the MIUI Extended settings mod) and delete all icons on your homescreens to make your MIUI rom more like the stock one.
MIUI Theming engine is the best and that's what i would like to be ported on other Roms.

Best ICS apps?

I know people probably ask this 1000 times a day but:
I recently got a ICS ROM on my phone and can't find and decent apps Googling things like "Top ICS apps" all the results seem to me targeted at new users. I am looking for the must have apps for advanced people running custom ROMs and writing their own apps.

apex launcher. that's all i can think of that's ics exclusive that i use.

Would those of you who use apex launcher try nova launcher. I tried it and while apex launcher is nice real nice, I cant stand the lag when I open the app drawer.

I have ZERO lag on apex when opening the app drawer (and no Apex is not a system app on my phone) but I will give Nova a try regardless.
I also second Chrome and Apex/Nova Launcher as the must haves so far. Honestly most good apps for ICS are going to be available for older android OS's as well just because of the huge installed user base that exists for froyo/gingerbread. Only 3% of all android devices are currently running ICS

Wow, I find it quite funny that you openly admit that there is likely 1000 other threads C covering this issue but you posted anyways.
The reason there are not many results on Google (which I find hard to believe) I'd because ova has not been out long enough with high enough market penetration for useful ics only applications to be created.

Am i the only one that wants inverted gapps?

You would think since goggle is fond of amoled technology they would give us an official option to swap to black backgrounds inside their own apps. Calender, gmail and email need this option bad. I am sure many of us use these heavily and battery would benefit greatly from an invert option inside these apps and it isn't there in jellybean. What's up google? Y u no invert?
butter and jelly please...

Yeah its very strange at this point they haven't made most apps dark.

Perhaps it goes against Android Design Guidelines?

By the way, shouldnt the inverted apps be exactly the same no matter what the phone is?
When you download the gapps they're not deevice specific. :-/

I've been using the inverted apps from rootzwiki (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29460-in...ate-8-4-gmail412-contacts-fixed-in-landscape/) for a while now on latest rasjellybean to date + trinity stable 35 and they are working just fine: I've flashed mms, contacts, calendar, talk and installed the gmail inverted app (in order to get the inverted gmail client, you need to deleted the stock gapps gmail.apk from /system/app first and then install the inverted gmail apk file as normal).

I've just been using the black bean ROM, which is quite nice.
here is a good source for just apps.

OP. You are missing quite a bit of needed apks. You still need some syncing apks, etc and the permission and framework xmls. Gotta balance out functionality as well .

Android 4.4 - kitkat apps and conversion thread

As we all know, Android Kitkat 4.4 was launched today along with the Nexus 5. Google has also released the sourcecode for the new OS.
There are, however, a plethora of 4.4 applications that are supported by 4.3 -- just to keep you occupied till 4.4 comes out for our phones (unofficially, of course).
I've been dumping these applications that I've tested right here:
https://mega.co.nz/#F!yd9XyKRZ!OONKBzzngb8R2nmDIpxFFw
Of course, this is not at all officially supported however I've gotten the new launcher, keyboard, google search, hangouts (with SMS) and everything else working as well.
Enjoy!

Here you can find lot more..

I've installed Gmail and Hangouts in LG stock ROM (epsilon) and are working great!

I assume these don't work with stock 4.1.2 (no root), do they?

I miss my n4, there are at list 4 kitkat builds ready to download...
Someone is working with the sources?

you have to install google now from nexus 5 factory image, than it'll work. but no "ok google"-Voice search. This feature will only work with s800 cpus.

I have tryed camera also, fc when I switch to panorama or sphere. Optimus G 4.1.2 stock. Maybe something else is needed for that too?

you're right. but it's not like on moto x, it only works when you are on one of the homescreens and google now, and only with us amarican language. for moto x functionality it would need a dedicated cpu-core.

Try using Utter if you want the "Ok Google" functionality on the LGOG. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brandall.nutter
