MIUI rom - why?

I've just checked out a couple of vids on Youtube of the MIUI rom on the Mytouch 4G. It has some nice looking animations, but I don't otherwise get why an Android user would want this rom. It looks like an iPhone - the system takes a big steaming dump of apps all over your home screens, and no launcher. It seems like a step backwards to me.
Can someone who uses this rom please convince me otherwise? What does it have that I can't get elsewhere?

I used to think the same, but when I gave it a bash it was VERY smooth! And with Launcher Pro on it, near perfect.
But there are so many more settings you can fiddle with on CM, I always go back to the best.
Flashed a CM7 nightly this morning,.... AMAAAAZING!

So you CAN install a launcher on it? I got the impression that you couldn't. Hmmm, I might give it a try when I have some time. What's battery life like - one video (admittedly for the MT4G) said it was pretty crap. That same video also said that RAM usage was considerably lower than Sense, which interests me.

Yeah man, standard MIUI launcher is junk IMO, no app drawer? Huh? Definitely get your launcher of choice on there straight away.
From what I remember (since November ish) battery life was ok, RAM was vgood. Yeah give it a bash,... the guy who has done the port has updated quite a few times since I tried it.

I love the standard launcher after 2 years of seeing either stock android launcher or ones similar to it , it is a nice change of pace

I didn't like miui at first but it grew on me. I was constantly trying to find the app launcher it runs fast and you can customize the heck out of it!

I was really impressed with it, actually. Very lightweight on the system.
If you don't like the lack of drawer (I hate it...thinking a hybrid with an app drawer would be perfection) you can get stuff tucked away in folders, or use launcher pro.
It just looks and feels so fresh and clean...but it's just not what I personally love about Android. A great option that's totally different.
It's also a great UI for iphone converters...

Thats exactly it, MIUI is just like an I phone without restrictions! You can add, take away and do anything You want with it maintaining its beauty and speed! Ive tryed every rom, after playing w/ rom's UI for a few minutes I went bak to MIUI. Theres nothing like it try MIUI and you'll never go bak.

MIUI = ew
That's just me though, I'm a CM fanboii

I'm inclined to agree with you. I gave it a try, but those iPhone-esque menus had me running for the hills - it just seemed wrong!
In the last couple of days I've been through the stock Sense rom (too heavy on the hardware), MIUI (just no), Enomther's Official (battery life poor) and CM 6.1.1 (battery life poor). I'm currently draining the battery so I can charge properly and wipe batt stats on CM - hopefully that will help. But if not then I'm going to have to roll back to the stock rom, which is a real shame because all the others run so quick even at 800mhz...

i have been running CyanM since went to Android with tthe N1 and I can say its making me think! I like the polish. The initial setup was a little slower because of the lack of app draw and having to tuck things away. After that I can say I am really digging the Rom

I really like the notification put-down with the toggles at the bottom. Looks so good and super functional.
Edit: but I use virtuous as my daily.

I've finally settled on a ROM - Sparksmod Extra HotSauce. Basically CMod with loads of pretty icons and animations. I love it so much, it's satisfied both the need for speed/lightweight on RAM, and having the eye candy to show off.
Install a decent laucher like ADW EX or LauncherPro (which now has transition animations too), and it blows anything else away. I can't recommend it highly enough. My iPhone-toting friends are jealous as well.

At first I didn't like it... Then it grew on me.... Then I didn't like it again (had too many apps on homescreen)... Now I like it again..... I like just installed Touchwiz launcher (I know.. Wut? ) and love it again IMO Touchwiz launcher is like MIUI's with an app drawer xD (I prefer though )

my question is : why not
the easy theme-ing + change icons / pull down widget = win
if u dont like the iphone-ish look, put ADW EX on top of it
i do like how i can organize stuff with the folders
that + the ease of uninstalling apps when i dont like them,
it sucks having to wait to go through setting and wait 30 secs to generate the whole list.
oh the smoothness too

Seriously... why not?? I use miui for a few reasons..
1. Bad ass lock screen.. by far the best. IMHO (Music control, custom wallpaper, quick launch phone and messaging app) yeah you COULD just use widget locker.. but that slows phone down and drains battery life.. not as sick as default miui I think.
2. Themes.. the themes available look amazing, completely customize all your icons, better than you can get with adw, lp or any made for cyanogenmod.. and you can mix and match what themes parts you want applied.
3. Notification bar.. toggles on the pulldown are great.. ya you can do basically the same with cyanogenmod, but not as polished IMO..
4. battery life isn't an issue for me.. or ram.. basically the same as cyanogen 6.1.1... haven't tried cm7. So no input there.
5. Updated every Friday. which is nice..
Yeah its iphone-ish since all the icons are uniformed.. and menus, I don't spend all my time changing settings so menus don't bother me.. easier to navigate then stock android IMO but with icons I actually like that about it.. I use adw launcher ex. So I have a launcher.. I don't use the stock launcher with miui. Personally I don't care for it.. i hate apps on my homescreen... IMO they belong in the launcher.. widgets belong on the homescreen. But that's just me.. to each there own. I switch between cyanogen mod 6.1.1 and miui... I just nand backup each so I can switch between both whenever I feel the need. there both esentially set up the exact same. Same apps and launchers.. I'm been on cyanogen mod since I had a mytouch 18 months ago till miui was ported.. it mixes things up, I don't think it takes away from android.. it gives you the best of both worlds in my opinion..

I have to say, that Im loving the Miui. Sure, it comes with no app drawer and it looks too close to an iphone, but one thing I give credit to apple, is the glossy and high resolution look to their icons and layouts.
I use Launcher pro and it makes me a happy Android fan. I get to load new themes with the least amount of effort whatsoever. Its amazing how quickly you can change the look of your phone.
The lockscreen is the best ive seen. I dont experience lags for a rom that is quite stylish and has so many features. The customization on this rom is out of this world. There's a setting for anything Ive wanted to change (minus changing the color of the notification bar).
So, to summerize: It runs fast, it looks really good with easy theme changing ability and it lets you customize the heck out of it.
The battery life is decent. I havent noticed a major difference between any of the roms ive tried when it comes to that. Btw, I have been on CM 6.1.1 and supervillianz and the default sense. This is the only rom that made me NOT change and try other roms. Im quite happy with what I have. Why look elsewhere

DhD Paint and Speed Problem

Hi everyone.... I've been using dhd for almost 6 months and notes that it got slow with time... I mean it's transitions and animations and scrolling everything got dead slow... Don't know if it's because of gingerbread or anything else... Plus its paint is also fading around the corners...
Any suggestions for improving the speed thingy... I'm on stock but planning to flash a custom rom very soon... Any recommendations... Thanks....
Sent from my Desire HD

No idea about what is happening to your paint but for the speed of your phone It happens, sometimes when you have too many apps running in the background. I think.if u get a custom Rom the.best 1 that I recommend is Rcmix3d 3.5 works pretty good for me.

Sense is fine but if you compare it to Cyanogen Mod or MIUI HTC Sense would be slow it depends on what you want other people will always recommend their daily Rom hell i would recommend you RCMix Runny 1.5 but thats my opinion.
Flash CM,MIUI and Sense rom then pick the one you prefer.
Happy Flashing

Stock HTC Sense is just really slow. Scrolling a 4x4 page full of icons on stock 2.1 sense is slower than scrolling a page of 4x4 icons on pretty much any custom rom.
CM7 and Miui (replace miui launcher with LP/ADW/Go) are fast and stable roms. Sense roms look nice, especially since sense 3(.5) has 3d widgets.

My MIUI, is rock solid I love it.. 1.4ghz, UV-50.. and after tweaking a little more its blazing fast.. I receive hardly any slow down whatsoever the built in antispam get rid of those annoying loan texts I managed to receive.. it has a lot of options that are useful to me (maybe not for others).
The above is my opinion, and like the above said, I would also recommend installing all 3 and decide on that. The one thing I would add about sense , its too bloated lol, even after uninstalling alot..

the Miui launcher seems to be somewhat laggy [Especially with a LWP]. Compared to ADW/GO/LP, it doesn't have any extra features or customisation - or even an app drawer.
The only thing you lose when switching to a different launcher (and uninstalling the miui default launcher) are miui widgets (folders, etc), however there is still the Music widget and the Miui icons. Pretty much all launchers except MIUI have app drawers, and go launcher allows as much homescreens as miui (and is much more customisable). Most launchers also have better Transition effects than miui as well (Go has Random transitions) and have continuous scrolling.
I don't really see the point in folders anyways- Opening one takes abut as much time as sliding to a different screen, or opening the app drawer...

May be in should go for cm7... And chroming out my fone for that paint problem....
As for miui if it looks like iOS then am out of this league.... I hate iOS...

There is a speed fix for that.. Go into launcher setting, and "enable" hi Res gfx.. then go back to your launcher and flick a few screens.. then go back to launcher settings and "disable" the option.. and like magic aall form of lag in the launcher is removed! I didn't believe it would happen when o was told, but its 100% working for my.. and like I said in my earlier post.. anyone who says MIUI is slow, I'd laugh

It does look like iOS, but you need to try it first.. I am also a hater of the iPhone and apples other devices.. but MIUI and android has a helluva lot more functionality and freedom that the iPhone *cough* Apple down allow you.. also on MIUI the themes are brilliant, you can mix and match everything..
CM7 for the matter, is also an excellent ROM.. blazing fast also, and has some great addons.. but I ain't used it a lot myself so I can't tell you a lot about it other than its speed
Sense, is complete bloatware.. HTC really need to tone down the unbelievable amounts of useless apps especially background apps.. and now sense 3.5 eye candy.. instead of eye candy, more functionality as well.. you even seen their adverts.. they actually open the website, press home and then rapidly press bookmark so it "looks" instant lol.. you can even even witness the screen lag in the advert "/.. go CM7 lol

Alright I can find a very nice how-to for miui on their page but not for cm7.... Plzzz help me in this matter... I need a SINGLE link to a thread or site that tells in detail how to flash cm7.... It's getting irritating from my side but am a newbie....

I know the thread is slightly old, but I thought I would post, the aluminium is anodised, not painted. The wear you are having is because the layer of aluminium oxide is rubbing off. That will be due to misuse or friction of some sort, it doesn't and can't happen naturally.

Cm7 vs miui vs sense

Just a little thread I wanted to make about a discussion on Roms around since I tried all of em and everytime I feel like switching to something new
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I really want to move to cyn but I like sense to much and the overall feel of it, miui is basically android iPhone far as I can tell
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I really like Sense as well but can see where those who hate it are coming from. I gave MIUI a try and much prefer the Sense 3.5 widgets, and all their colorful glory. I've used Sense since it was TouchFlo, so I've always had a place in my heart for it. CM7, while a purists form of Android, is too simplistic and also was too much work to setup to get it functioning like I wanted (my fault, as I really wanted Sense back).
To each their own...

I have tried all the types of ROMs and imho cm7 is the best and the most androidish.
Also I do like the newer sense ROMs(read 3.5).
Everything is about personal opinion and how you use your phone.
just my 2 cents.

cm7 is amazing, so fast and clean, i'd like to use it regulary. it took my breath away when i tried it out. but i'm missing the stock camera, news & weather widget, contact integration. and there were some smaller things i don't remember, all in all it was clean and fast, but did not have all the functionality of sense-roms.
To be fair, i didnt try out CM for some time and maybe i should have get used to it longer. I only used it 3 weeks or so.
i've never tried miui, but i absolutely love the miui-look.
so i'm using a no-sense ARHD with adw launcher ex with miui-icons and i think i'ts the best of all worlds.

ARHD..i had probs wid it...if u use it for a while..you get around 150mb free ram and if u multi task at times..apps get crashed...sense roms are too heavily ram based that is why most htc phones have memory of 700mb...

i'm changing a rom from MIUI, CM, and HTC No Sense, and the Sense itself..
for me, sense is still the best, and now i'm using the ARHD 6.1.5...

Until recently I was hooked on Sense. Now I use blackice which is cm7-like and I like it. There are three things I missed at the beginning: 1/ wheather-clock 2/ news widget and 3/ flip to silence the phone. Now I use the accuweather widget and the ics clock (eight cells combined, so the same as htc's), I wrote a custom news widget for the feed I read and still miss the flip-to-silence (but not that much).
At the end of the day they both have their pros and cons. And MIUI should be shot in the back of it's neck for threason .

i've tried cm7, miui, and a variety of sense roms. cm was spartan but functional. miui (i tried freshly squeezed) was great but it (and cm7) were missing something that makes me stay on sense: the calendar widget. i've searched for a good calendar widget so that i could stay on miui, but i haven't found one as good as the htc one.
i also like the htc lockscreen. i know widgetlocker can do it, but i don't want to run another program just for that...

CM9 all the way

I vote ICS ftw running beta 2 as a daily works ok aside from the listed bugs.

it is too early to flash ICS unless you're a dev and want to work on it for dev purposes...not a good idea to use it for everyday use...
Does anyone know a good sense rom with good amount of free ram?

I guess you could use runny4 with a script to free up Ram. You'll have around 270 MB ram after booting but of course, then script seems to kill the launcher sometimes....especially after using a resource heavy app. It's kinda annoying!
I've been using black ice ROM for a week now and I don't think I'll be coming back to sense, ever(except maybe to take a look at sense 4.0 when it comes out)! For me, it was just about finding the right widgets to replace the sense widgets. I've found quite a few excellent replacements in the market.
I'm still searching for something which can perfectly replace friendstream. I've tried pretty much everything there is...none of them work as well as friendstream did. Anyone got any ideas?

which theme you're using from theme chooser? using sense lockscreen app? which clock widget you're using...

For anyone who is missing the HTC weather wiget from Sense while they are on CM give Beautiful Widgets a try.
And I'm using the ICS beta. Sure there is no camera, you need to set up your data connection manually. The gallery force closes, but installing something like QuickPic gets round that. But all in all it is good enough for me to run day to day.

MIUI is pretty amazing, you dont have to use the default launcher you can install anyone you like but the theme engine is by far the best, it beats the Cyanogenmod theme engine. it can theme everything and i really mean everything from fonts to lockscreen to boot sound.

I agree with MIUI. Live the on the fly customization its capable of. And now with new ES Mod, you can enable native app drawer. Folder up the ones on home screen.

Try "android pro widgets" as a replacement for friend stream. Perfectly fits for me.

All roms have their advantages and disadvantages...I love them all ^^
What bothers me on CM and MIUI is the Camera.
The DHD camera is really good and it is a pity that it is not really supported at both roms.
I am currently using ICS ... Although I have no camera but this rom is amazing

I think the only thing that keeps me going on sense is the notification bar. I'm a big fan of how sense's pull down has a recent apps section an is split into two sections one for recent things and the other for quick settings.
I mean, I understand that you can get recent apps by long pressing home but the notification bar is in like most non full screen apps, pulling it down is simple.
I used to be hard core CM but then i started going back to Sense just for the way the notifications are set up. Perhaps if there is a notification bar recent apps plugin or fix for non Sense Roms, i would leave it.

[Q] Best launcher for Desire

I really would like to know which 3d launcher apk is the BEST for Desire in performance and functionality? I've tried Launcher pro, ADW, SPB. Best for me was SPB.
I saw that new 3d launcher is under developing with icons smart group and icon rotation, but i forgot its name. (i think it was in miui's thread).
Maybe someone would provide his/her opinion about that.
I'm currently on seb's 15 runnymede AIO (sense 3.5) and i like it, but sense 3.5 is pretty heavy for desire's cpu&gpu.
Sorry for my English, didn't have practice for a long time.
With regards.

Having the best of this and the best of that is a matter of personal taste. Apparently you have picked yours already. If I would say that Sense 3.5 is the best launcher ever, you already have you opinion on that too.
What I'm trying to say is, just try it out for yourself and judge if its best for you. Because that's what matters in the end.
via xda app

You have to try everything and then you can decide which laucher is the perfect for you. That's what i did until i found the suitable rom for me... I've tried them all

I prefer ADW after trialling most and being a long time Launcher Pro user. I like the way it does folders, the options for customising swipes and the speed is very good.

better launcher
for me it is go launcher ex - very quick and many features (for me much better then sense) - but therre is something great coming see:

I'm using MIUI.ADW launcher on CM7 and it's great, fast, sleek different. Highly recommended
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I tried ADW and Launcher Pro. For me, Go Launcher surpassed both of them. The launcher is very smooth and fast, always in development, more customisation options, countless number of themes, and all available for free.
Now there has to be catch right? Well in order to use widgets for go launcher you will need to install a widget app such as Beautiful widgets or HD widgets. Minor inconvenience all things considered. I highly recommend Go launcher.

maybe zeam launcher? fast, light-weight.... it's ok...

I love Launcher Pro. Very customizable.

Para mim o ADW é o melhor e mais rapido.

I like the stock Sense launcher. Tried a couple of the most known ones, always came back to stock.

LauncherPro is unbeatable. It's smooth and very customizable.

SPB Shell 3D is very beautiful but so expensive !

Adw Launcher Ex, just love it... fast and customizable, also i can uninstall apps fast, just hold them above trashcan for a sec.

I am currently using GO Launcher EX, i lile howe there is so may themes that can be used, as well as all the addons such as go weather/locker etc. i never used to use it due to the lack of space, but since i am using the mildwild ROM, the freedom is great it is like a new phone all together.

True mildwild, plus go launcher ex and go SMS perfect whole new phone and speedy too... recommended to any one...

I find Go Launcher best by far on my tablet, but strangely prefer Launcher Pro on my Desire. I've tried using vice versa, but it doesn't feel right... it's all down to taste.

Working on it

Not too much of wallpapers huh?
Yesterday I tried LeWa OS RC2 [Port for hero GSM]
performance, dialler, network traffic monitor, user interface is unbelievably comfortable, variety of skins to choose from, at least for me this rom was a pearl, finally dropped the ideas of getting HTC sensation XE. That phone is still breathing fire after 2 years of hard use, hundreds of times flashing it and so fourth
Rom: LeWa OS RC2 [Port for hero GSM]
Launcher: N/A
Widget: ^3 (Cubed) music player, Animated Weather,
I do not really know the launcher name, maybe bharat_goku can tell that and haven't any widgets yet, just a simple weather widget (Animated Weather) which I do not like, because of the adds and stuff and Filippe Abrantes music player called "3", I find it on the market by typing abrantes, but I like that not because of the widget but because it has my beloved jump to and queue functions..

this is mine
HTC Hero (gsm)
ROM: Zero Hero Sense 3.5 (RC1 with some fixes)
the wallpaper

Looking good habarug, nice layout you got there. Anyhow it's been a while since I last posted a screenshot, so here's my latest setup.

I know what you're all thinking, is that really the Hero? It's the icon theme that really lifts the rom I think, you guys should try it.

Launcher: ADW w/ miui icons
Widget: minimalist text
