Personally, CM is my rom of choice. However, there are a few features which i love from MIUI. Which feature would be YOUR favorite to see recreated to the rom of your choice?
Here are a few features with screenshots...
1) Phone Smart Dialer w/ recorder etc.
2) Dropdown menu "shortcuts" (scrollable settings toggle ex. wifi, gps etc)
3) File Explorer Apk
4) Monitor Apk with firewall features, traffic control settings etc (see pics)
5) Lockscreen Music controls (w/ phone, sms count)
6) Look of MIUI along w/ iphone type launcher (lack of)
7) Misc. Settings Features: dnd, security (device administrators), backup options
8) Any other feature I have missed here!
here's a few more:
9.) Long press on back button to fully close app
10.) Long press Home for recent/app killer/app manager
11.) BUILT IN THEMING (Theme Downloader/ Theme Manager)
12.) MIUI Backup
13.) Many launcher animations
MIUI itself is closed source, so, none of it will be ported easily. :/
I do like the dialer though.
wow! you guys were fast!! ...here were the other screenshots.

correct, i should have left it as "recreated" as i did in the post. (Not "ported") ...the dialer is nice. I love the music/equilizer lockscreen feature (for looks primarily) If i didn't have unlimited text, data etc. being able to set limits w/ the traffic filter and data management would be nice too.

All I want is the ability to clear the phantom cm notification like cm has. Then I would use miui.

I stared at that damn thing for 3 damn months and finally got rid of it yesterday. Permanently. It's so nice not seeing that annoying thing anymore.

I know, but that's a pain and not necessary with cm6 and cm7, which is why I want the feature in miui.
File Explorer is better than Astro... and I didn't think it would be. It is so advanced.

Its my understanding that in CM you can clear it but it still returns, only having to clear it again. This method gets rid of it permanently and only takes about 30 minutes. I had to redo my setup and used that as my excuse to take care of this, and im glad i did.
Uhmmm why the hell does miui look like ios?

You can choose to never show the icon in cm. We need that option in miui.
Miui backup app
Hi,
how can I get the standalone MIUI backup app?
I need to restore the phone registry on a non-MIUI ROM, is that possible?
Thank you.
It's the apps. So many apps that are pay-for quality ate bundled in MIUI it makes it hard to stay away.
File Explorer with it's FTP abilities, usage monitoring and automatic throttling, firewall, built-in tethering...it's just very complete.
Then there is the graphical polish in menus, lock screen, etc.
If it wasn't closed source it would be the perfect ROM.

I would NOT like to see any off MIUI stuff in sense... I would like opposite, sense battery life, 4G and camera quality in MIUI.
Right now testing MIUI and those 3 things are weak... but nice fresh look, and feels almost as new phone...
Im running pure AOPK on my n7, and under ROM settings there is a nav bar option... just what i was looking for... you can put 2 more buttons on the navigation bar :laugh::laugh::laugh:
but i really dont like the phone UI...
when i change the dpi to 160, the extra buttons are gone...
any ideas?
i found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpgyNFQFAdo
that would do the trick, but it is for cm7... but i have theme choser... but i cant try it now because i dont have a computer to restore a backup if i need to...
id like to add more than 5 buttons (power, menu, go launcher, ilauncher, youtube....)
thanks

I changed my LCD density on mine too after adding buttons (running CM10), and the buttons go back to stock. Is there any way to customize the combined bar or tablet bar or combination bar or WHATEVER the heck it's called? I've been scouring the interwebs for this info and can't find it anywhere.

Aokp supports tablet mode without changing dpi. When you do this you are able to customize the navbar to your hearts content.
Btw dpi changes are dirty little hacks that tend to break compatability with several aokp features like this and make some apps disappear from the play store.

Hey Guys/Gals!,
Just wanted to make this quick thread and ask everyone what would YOU like in a ROM? I've been flashing all types of ROMs for a multitude of devices and have never made one before. That has changed, I'll be making and releasing my first ROM for this device.
It'll be built from source and will have any additional/available goodies I can bake in too So please let me know your thoughts and/or requests
Requests so far:
- Undervolting
- Button changing toolkit (Shapes and positions of the nav buttons so that everyone can choose their favorite )
- Ability to have the buttons and notification bar at the bottom, to save space
- A permanent menu button
- Combination of SuperNexus' battery life, ParanoidAndroid's hybrid modes, DPI central control, status bar and navigation color control, AOKP like ROM manager and tweaks
- SetCPU like control with profiles, system app mover built in, optional choice to click which apps to pre install
- GPS lock tweaks for faster GPS connection, undervolting (which was already said), custom vibrations, tablet style notification bar on bottom of the screen, center clock, custom led indicators for different apps, any other speed tweaks you can bake in!
- Expand desktop feature like on paranoidandroid!
- Built in boot loader changer.
- Paranoid Android, tablet mode + keys. Boss.

How so? Like for the nav buttons on the bottom?
Ability to have the buttons and notification bar at the bottom, to save space.
And a permanent menu button.
More specifically, being able to launch different shortcuts from the navigation buttons.
Possibly even having the ability to toggle the navigation buttons either by long pressing the back button or whatever, while returning with a swipe up from the button type thing.
Just some ideas that I've used on my TF201 running Eos.

It was supposed to remove the nav buttons when in full screen mode, but it never worked for me (Nexus 7)
Thanks again for the feedback everyone! Keep them coming

2 Features that I think I had in MIUI-XJ on the desire:
1. The ability to lock apps with a password / swipe code.
This was great for me as I could just swipe to unlock my phone, then lock down email and social networking apps. I wasn't concerned about the dialer or contacts.
2. In the same vein, MIUI also had private mode. Hit the button and your call history is hidden as well as all your SMS messages. Microsoft WP8 has the child mode. Something like that would be nice for those times when you hand your phone to someone else.

I'm guessing on your phone when you hit the menu key it doesn't show theme so go to settings/Home screen and it should be there.
Depends what you mean by theme. I am pretty sure the stock phone can really just change wallpaper and move icons around. With root access you can install the Xposed framework which allows much more customization which is probably what you want, and with custom launchers such as Nova or Apex you can also do wallpaper changes and run custom icon packs. But maybe the theme you saw was nothing more than some UCCW widgets, IDK since I haven't seen the one you are talking about.

The stock launcher on the G2 has a theme changer and comes with two themes that change icons, walls and the clock widget maybe more. So its basically good for changing icon packs and then just reset your wallpaper after you get the icons you like. Yes you can use Nova or whatever and customize icons to your hearts content but I prefer the LG launcher and I'm thrilled they added this.

Yea I love it, just wish it theme'd widgets but guess i will splurge on Beautiful Widgets/HD Widgets
(stock transparent clock-weather widget would be nice tho)
I'm on the at&t variant and I can't find the theme option anywhere either. I'm guessing they took it out. I can still change individual icons by holding the icon, tapping the purple brush that pops up, hitting Menu and selecting a theme I've installed from the previous thread and then they all show up for selection. This only works for individual icons though and will not help you change the app drawer button, which is the one I wanted to change.

Wow that sucks, makes no sense. I know carriers add bloat but didn't think they touch anything in a UI. This is the theme manager on the G2.

I've got nothing that says theme anywhere I assume it would be. Checked Home Settings and Menu on the Home Screen. Nothing. I'm really bummed about that. I wanted to change the app drawer button so badly. Damn.

I don't think just flashing yours would work. It might but the guy needed all the files for the models he was building the mod for from the devices he was building for. I think it would need a little more than just swapping it.
And I tried that mod. No theme ability on the at&t version of the phone. Still.

I believe the international and Verizon version have the theme chooser, along with the Korean version. It allows you to switch to the Marshmellow stock theme, and others to come in the future. However, I think its apparent that the At&t version is missing this functionality. Would it be possible to add it back in an APK?

You'd probably have to wait for a dev to add it to their ROM
T-mobile version has it.
There's an internal application I found with system tuner called home chooser, don't think its enabled though. Anyone with another carrier version know if this is what were looking for?

Go to the Theme section of settings, go to search and locate theme called Material Black
There is a cost for it(can't remember I bought it way back with my S7)

There should be a way to activate System UI Tuner i thought that should have an option for enabling a night mode .... but I can't seem to enable it by long pressing the settings gear icon in quick settings on my S8.

I use Nova launcher and it works fine with the theme
The Theme updates only a few items, mainly the notification menu, the main settings menu and messaging app
For system tuner -I haven't tried on the S8, but it worked for my G6

You'll need to issue a couple of ADB commands but nothing hard.
It beats me with the prevalence of OLED screens now that google themselves or indeed Samsung don't offer a dark mode system wide as default considering the positive benefits to battery life, Google in particular seem to be making everything as white as they possibly can.
Yeah go to the theme store and search black. Should get a nice choice of blacked out themes to choice from(including a lot of free ones). My entire interface is black now. I use nova launcher with transparent app drawer and no icons on my home screen. I have the old school nexus live wallpaper with the background blacked. Transitions are seamless fading in and out of the abyss.
