Hello, I plan on releasing a rom as soon as the phone is rooted. If you could ask for one thing you would like in a phone what would it be? The rom will be free! Check back here when the phone is released!

A black and red/blue theme(either)
and clear rose would be awesome
This might be a given, but I'd like for it to be free of any and all pre-installed Sprint apps, which I know are installed on the device courtesy of several Youtube videos.

Yes, i plan on uninstalling all of the sprint apps that are just for advertising.
I'd ask for free 4G mobile hot spot tethering, but that might be controlled via a Sprint app, still worth mentioning though.
Its a definite that i will include free Wifi tethering and a LAN option!

Awesome, actually not sure if we're talking about the samething I meant the built in router on the 4G that allows you to tether off to up to 8 different devices. That's why I said not sure if that's possible, but if not tethering would be good enough for me too, thanks by the way.

Yes, you will be able to use it as a router. Sorry about the miscommunication.

I don't know if it's possible to get the clock to flip the way it does on WinMo. I know alot of users have requested this on Android and have been told it's not possible. I'm no expert so I really can't comment on why but that's what has been said.
After Android 2.2 is released, will it be possible base your custom ROM's on the update?

I also do not think it is possible but i will do further research and find out the correct answer.

I have no idea. I'm hoping that the Evo doesn't release with 2.2 because i already have a good handle of 2.1. Even if it does 2.2 will only open the door to more features for the ROM.

Nexus Launcher! And not helix, actual launcher2, the app screen is way nicer on the nexus one than it is on helix launcher.

I totally agree. I hate the look of helix!
I wouldn't mind one at first that just removes the Sprint apps and adds wifi tethering. Any performance tweaks would be welcome as well.
Greetings, I am sure I could discover all about MIUI if I looked hard enough, but I thought it might be useful if we had our own Nexus S place where someone like me who has never used or seen MIUI in action could hear from those with previous experience.
I understand its very different from normal android but in which important ways? Are widgets the same? Is the market the same? Will we still have Voodoo sound and colour? Does the app drawer still apply? You see where I am driving at!
please share knowledge and questions...
I have very limited experience with miui I'll admit but I can answer a few of your questions. Most things are the same however it has its own customer launcher and home replacement for which there is no app drawer. All apps are placed on homescreens for the minuit launcher however you can use adw or lpp and have an app drawer back.

Thanks man, I have heard many good things about MIUI but I would miss something like Voodoo so much! I mean how awesome is Voodoo sound?!
It does seem MIUI would take some getting used to.

Well its just like any other ROM, kernels will have to be customized for it. I'm sure someone will release a voodoo sound/color equipped kernel for it soon.
Its definitely a switch but one worth giving a shot. I tried it on my Evo but couldn't get Swype working and at the time I was more in love with Swype then I was with any ROM so I gave up after only giving it a few hours. I plan to give it a much more fair chance this time but its a little difficult getting things set up when half of everything is in chinese lol

Lol I assume your chinese comment is sarcasm and I can assure you its usable in chinese. I do not know a single chinese character but for the most part you can work your way through everything. The one thing I'm still looking for is Haptic Feedback because I hate it and its on by default <.<
I personally love MIUI. The lockscreen, when they get it, looks fantastic and nice. The menu screen is extremely different. If you look at the pics you'll see what it looks like. That takes some time getting used. All the apps are on the homescreen now, similar to iOS. You can create folders to organize them. You can also add all the widgets you normally get from the market, on there. The messenger has been modified, it a very good way. It looks really good. Everything else is the same.

From what I understand they don't have any intention of bringing the old lockscreen back. I'm not sure if they will be doing a new one but, again this is my understanding, we're stuck with the AOSP lockscreen.

one thing that strikes me regarding the original MIUI ROM being chinese natively... is that AOS is supposed to be roughly international No?
even if it installs as Chinese, you should be able to go into settings and change it to English?
like when i change English to Spanish and Vice versa in the stock ROM or some other Custom ROMs

MIUI is fully customized. And no this isn't the case, its set to English by default and the MIUI ROM is a hybrid of English and Chinese.
The English language pack is now available (~30MB) in the MIUI thread.
Simply, it is an iOSish Android ROM.

it wasn't that bad. the icons in settings were pretty relevant.
its fine now. just the notification power widgets is still in chinese.
only complaint i really at this point is white background with white text.
will probably go back to CM7 when the next nightly comes. i prefer having all black to maximize super amoled screen

pretty much. but it opens a lot of room for customizablity and eye candy.
my engadget, photobucket and some other apps FC'd on me so i reverted back to CM7. probably going back to it on the next release and see how it is.
for some reason, my ADW EX settings doesn't get restored when im on MIUI but works for CM7 and other 2.3 based roms. weird

Download issue can be solved by switch the download mode to start download under any network.
Open Downloads app -> Press Menu button -> Select the right one to switch to start download under any network
Refer to the MIUI forum, since the new UI is still under development, so the custom lockscreen not integrated yet on the first release
Cant really find the "Downloads app" setting. Have a tip or an image of where u mean?
@ zephiK worked for me with restoring the settings with titanium.

Damn! Got the FC on engadget to.
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I am having a hard time finding anything about it (which I am confused by as well!)
I just upgraded from a samsung captivate (original ) and one of the features I liked about that phone was that in the dialer I could start typing in the first few numbers of someones number or the first few letters of someone's name and their number would auto fill in and I could just click it and call.
I know it is probably not nexus 4 specific, but 4.+ in general, but is there any way to get this feature back? Am I just missing something obvious, why in the world would they get rid of this?
T9 dialer?

My guess is that, that specific feature is called T9-dialer and I'm missing that too. I level'd up from ZTE Blade running CM10 to my brand spankin new N4 yesterday and yes, I want that feature back... Or... what the heck, Im going to root, unlock and flah CM 10.1 within the next 22h anyways )))
The T9 dialer is not included in AOSP. It's honestly the main reason I rooted. There is a T9 dialer apk floating around, but it only works on deodexed ROMs. Most ROMs inthe dev section have T9.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757280
Remember, deodexed only.

Ah thanks, seems strange google would leave out what seems like such an obvious feature.
I am using exDialer now and it works perfectly so far, so if anyone else is interested (and doesn't want to run a custom rom) I highly recommend it.

ex-Dialer is the best replacement. With an ICS theme, it even looks like the stock dialer.

Not rooting a nexus seems to be about like buying a Lamborghini and running 87 in it. That's just my opinion, though.

Ehh. I bought it mainly because I like the stock experience. I've played around with a lot of roms and I'm a little tired of having little issues here and there. Right now the phone runs blazingly fast, and apart from not having the t-9 dialer installed (which it now does and works great) I have no current issues, nor any desire to play around.
Heres the T9 dialer mod. Make sure you're on a deodexed ROM before flashing it.
T9 Dialer MOD for nexus 4
It is there to some extent, you just have to hit search on the dialer screen.
Seems a pointless step to me like.

This was posted on the nexus 4 themes and apps forum and is proven to be compatible with 4.2 without issues.
Maybe the dialer in your link works fine as well but since it was from an old post on the gnex forums, I thought I'd add this just in case there were any compatibility issues.
Perhaps its the exact same mod though, I have no idea if there's any real difference.

Hi,
Im not very keen on the Samsung or any of the dialer and contacts apps that are available. i came from a Nexus 4 and miss the stock apps.
Could some one please port these over to the S4 or upload the stock Android 4.2.2 Dialer and Contacts apk's ?

Bump, and also in the same boat.
I came from HTC Sense, and find the Samsung dialer very not nice.
I hope we can have something ported onto the S4...

Do you mean stock android dialer in a touchwiz rom?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
In my case I mean the TouchWiz dialer. (EDIT, to clarify, I mean I dont like the TW dialer, sorry about the confusion..)
The HTC Sense dialer is much more functional and intuitive. It shows you a keypad and your last calls ( and much further down the list, ALL your contacts) on the same screen, and by typing the number/letters, it narrows down the list to the desired contact (whether on the last calls log, AND/OR in your contact list). Its all done on one screen. To do the same thing on TW I have to jump through 3 different tabs or 5-6 key presses.
Also for contacts with multiple numbers, a side swipe scroll through the available numbers.
Plus a few other featureless and tricks makes the Sense dialer a lot easier to use, try it if you get a chance and you'll see what I mean.
Any one if the HTC dialer is ported, or possible to install/use on TW?

it will be highly appreciated if someone can post a flashable zip adding stock jelly bean dialer, contact and messaging app to touchwiz. Its like having the best of both worlds

Well if they did it back then, it looks like they stopped, or never started it for the S5, so you'll just have to customise it yourself
