Besides CyanogenMod is there anyone that is porting ICS over yet?
Look at miui by ace over on rootzwiki. Running it now. Super smooth, and awesome battery.

The latest MIUI build uses the Ice Cream Sandwich framework.
CVPCS stated on his twitter that he will begin porting Ice Cream Sandwich for the Droid X.

I tried MIUI but my phone never could achieve deep sleep on the ICS test build or latest official. The apps that the battery Stats said are apps I need and these apps behave normally on CM7, so w/e, I wanted to give MIUI a try but battery life was horrible b/c of deep sleep issues.
There is a deep sleep patch in the ICS miui op. No excuses now

Lol, we all want to see ICS on the X. As for the iphone comment you geniuses know that you can use any launcher you want and make it exactly like you have it now but with all the customization of miui.... of course you knew that.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I did know that, yes. Not new to loading ROMs. FWIW the miui isn't really ics either.
No the ICS test build has a percentage of 4.0 files added into the framework. The look is simply a theme like any other. No visual or ui changes by way of ICS were included.
It will be nice if we could someday get full ics... Maybe cyanogen team will get it figured soon. I will say miui runs a whole lot better with the bit Scotland did fit into the gb framework. I don't even carry a charger to work anymore.

By stating 'Stock' ICS, you would be looking for something that would only come from Mot/VZW.
Otherwise, there's the ICS MIUI project & the CM9-ICS project.
Wouldn't be expecting a stock ICS update for the X any time this century, but then again, who knows

By Stock, I'm assuming he means AOSP, or 'Stock' in the way Google designed it. That is something that absolutely will not come from Moto/VZW.
CM9 is at this point practically AOSP. It will take a lot of time for them to evaluate the enhancements that were added to CM7 above AOSP GB (Many of which have now been included as part of AOSP ICS).

Just FYI...
I used to be a HUGE CM supporter.
Still am, and am actually ON CM currently...but I flash between that an MIUI constantly.
I'll quickly vouch for MIUI here.
I had avoided it for my entire android experience. Didn't want to touch that crappy iPhone Kangerang!
I flashed it out of curiosity a few months ago...
And have been happily sitting on it as my daily driver (a lot of the time).
It's themes are gorgeous...and even simpler to flash that CM7's TMobile theme engine themes.
The lockscreens? Endless. And again, gorgeous. Super cool customization here.
ICS rip-offs. Blur rip-offs. iPhone rip-offs (blegh!).
The dialer is very blur-like...something that blur does right.
You type (T9-like) a person's name and they pop up in the menu for a quick call.
Menu+Down Volume = Screenshot
Menu+Volume Up = Temporary Full Brightness (Ever been in a sunny area and NEEDED this to see?).
The typical "pull-up" menus from android turn into drop-down menus.
The call-answer function is, again, beautiful. And allows you to quickly ignore and send an auto-text stating that you're busy.
Endless Boot-animations...again, in the theme section.
System sounds were recently added to MIUI themes...
With a touch of a button, you can change your lockscreen sound...keyboard sounds...selection sounds...instantly.
MIUI, is classy. And a very nice ROM.
Try it. If you were like me, you'll be happy you took the plunge.
*As a note, I do NOT like the MIUI launcher...
A custom one quickly fixes that.
As far as AOSP...
What do you like about it?
I mean, I don't dislike it.
But you can flash the gallery onto MIUI.
And the AOSP messenger is nothing special (I mean, it doesn't have features that others don't).
Dialer?
Again, the "blur" feature here is VERY nice.
Contacts?
These look pretty AOSP on MIUI...
And, again, the "ICS MIUI" builds that are currently out are not only not truly ICS...but aren't even official.
MIUI's Facebook page actually posted a bunch of screens this morning of what they're working on for the official release (with UI enhancements, as one user here suggested he wanted).
New Dialer was shown...along with the new app manager (ICS of their own) feature.
Don't just believe the hype like I did...
MIUI is actually pretty goddamn sweet.
I agree Miui is awesome. I'm using the Razor which I got for .01 till the Nexus is released. Then giving this to my wife. But the new ice cream from Google looks amazing. Just wait till we get into that and start chopping it up. It will be wicked.

except bluetooth unless you ran on a battery slaughtering .32 kernel ...
I like some of the polish of froyo better (menus, and notification pull-downs), but the new GB MIUI is now as good as/better in all other areas so I don't mind the trade off anymore.
In all honesty it feels _more_ stable to me than froyo now that it can run current kernels. Just be careful when using some of those tweak apps like auto task killer or the vm heap tool that can tweak some of the system settings.... MIUI is enough of a different beast that those tweaks can do as much harm as good and give you a false impression.
Miui Rom
You all know how Miui rom was translated to english. I think it would be better if devs remade the miui rom native english. They should also fix the bugs.

I don't know... you may be right, but Android was designed from the ground up to be internationalized. The correct way to write an app (including system things like settings or a launcher) is to put all the text as variables, so someone just needs to edit an XML to put things in another language. This means the translating shouldn't introduce bugs.
I've been using Miui for over 3 months now as my daily driver and have not had to deal with any of the bugs that some have had. Love this rom!!!!
As for how dose 2.2 & 2.3 compare? There's not a whole lot difference between the two. The last build of 2.2 is really stable and fast. If your looking for a Miui rom that's solid and not going to be updated again grab 2.2.
I just installed the latest 2.3 build 1.4.22 lastnight and so far loving it. Really really snappy and so far very stable. As of the .15 build the notification pull down changed a bit. It went from 3tabs, notifications, resent apps and toggles to just having notifications and toggles. The most resent apps was moved back to long pressing the home button.
They also changed around the stock dialer and sms apps. Not really sure how, I haven't used either of them.
Outside of those changes and what I remember from the last Froyo build I used theirs not to to much different.

I loved the Manup themed version of MIUI Froyo, release 1.28 was my favorite. Having said that, I made the leap to Gingerbread the first day it came out, and I have not gone back. EVERYTHING I use works. I only have an FC issue with editing photos from the MIUI photo viewer. I really like the gingerbread, better than the 2.2. The drop down in rather sleek. Manup also has a themed version of the 4.8 release.
with the new update 1.4.22, i have less FCs.
occassionaly, i do have FC here and there but it's not consecutive. i like MIUI GB.
soon 4G and GPS has a fix, so it will fly again!

So I'm in a debate right now, currently running miui 1.5.6 and I love it. Alot of things about it are nice simple and flawless , ui is simple to manage and has great little effects. But cm7 gb was my first rom I used and GPS worked fine unlike my miui atm, little things about miui are starting to tick me off even though its not 100% ready. ( pretty sure I read that some where on here). Anyways any thoughts on which one I should use as a daily? Cm7 easy to theme? I'm still new but open to learning. Thanks again.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Why would you ask others their opinion on which rom you should run? People that rum miui will tell you to choose, and the same for cm
Just try out all the roms, and see which one you like.
And you can go to evo 4g themes subforum for plenty of cm themes
If you like AOSP I'd say roll with cm7 as your daily driver, but keep in mind miui is plagued with most of the same bugs in CM7. There's a ton of theme starter guides out there it should be easy!
I wonder how many threads have this exact title?
Haha noobs right? Yes I'm ragging on myself but its whatever. And just looking for opinions on pros and cons of both from the "pros" out there. I normally don't have to post of this forum just because everything ( my questions/problems) have been answered already. But asking. And okay ill check it out thanks alot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think MIUI has 4G. So if that's not important to you, yeah, I'd think about it. If you get 4G almost everywhere you go like I do, go with CM7.

Unfortunately, Tulsa doesn't have 4g, well they do but its only on a busy street called memorial, and it runs for like 3 miles or so. Other than that no, so sticking with MIUI would not be the worst idea. Just need to learn how to theme CM7. The "classic" look isn't for me. Prefer MIUI ui.

So... you are telling us that you have MIUI on your phone right now and have been using it, and that you had CM7 as your daily driver already for an extended period of time? But even after using both as your daily driver you somehow still are unable to figure out which one you like and you want us to tell you which to use? Wow.
You are using MIUI now but you are clearly not happy because you long for CM7.
Switch to CM7.
There are you happy now? You have our permission to do what you clearly wanted to do in the first place.
BTW both MIUI and CM7 are buggy. Welcome to ASOP roms. If you can live without the minor bells and whistles of ASOP a Sense-based ROM is almost always more stable and better with your hardware(for example your videos look like crap on all ASOP roms cuz no one has figured out how to get the 720p recording to work).

Ask 10 different people, get 12 different responses. As you've noticed.
Point it only something you can answer for yourself.
Had my sultrySupersonic for less than a week, first ROM i loaded was Destroyer 2 (modded CM7 build). No complaints, no bugs (not sure what these bugs people speak of are). Took a little while to get it themed to how i like, but it's fantastic. I average 2.2 %/hr battery life.
When i saw my buddy running MIUI on his Dinc, i had to try it. LOVED it. The 2.3 build was actually buggy for me, and the 2.2 build was pretty laggy compared to CM7. Ultimately what killed it for me was the batt life. Nothing can compare to my D2 build on my Evo.
Every phone reacts differently, rock them both, play with it, let the Haters Hate. Only you can decide.
HaHa. Interesting thread!
I'm going to say try them back and forth, make a pro and con list on a piece of paper, then stick with MIUI! lol

Ha I love the MIUIs UI, and how you can choose some themes people have created. But all in all cm7 is working the best, battery life is flawless. GPS is on key. Still going back and forth but seems CM7 is on key for me. Just still learning on the theming part.

While not as invasive as themes in MIUI, the themes in the T-Mobile theme engine for cm7 will allow you to really customize the look to your liking.
My vote is for CM7. In my opinion it is more feature rich and less buggy. Only disadvantage is its not quite as "pretty" as MIUI, otherwise everything else is better for my use.
Tapa tapa tapa
IF, and I do mean if, they get 2.3 MIUI perfected I will switch back to that. I liked how it felt and looked.
But, having been using CM7 for a few months (I was not a fan of CM6), I am really starting to dig CM7. I don't think any other rom I have tried feels like a ROM that would have come on a phone. What I mean by that is, there aren't many bugs and it looks legit. The customization is pretty awesome too. I just wish CM had things like visitor mode, or some sort of sneaky mode where people couldn't look through your stuff if they pick up your phone. I don't like having to enter a code on my phone to get into it, but I hate that anyone can see anything if they pick it up.

Can't seem to get here soon enough lol we seem to have some Devs looking into making the current MIUI version we have more "useable" hopefully they can get us a descent release where the basic features are stable enough to be use as a 'daily driver' if not, GB will be here shortly in a couple weeks n we'll get things rolling

Really? For me battery was great, but bad 3G and no 4G killed it for me. If I would have at least had ok 3G, I would keep it, but otherwise when I leave my house, I have no internet, which is not the case on stock (or close) Roms.
The MIUI we have has great features and all, but let's face it, it's not the most attractive looking rom.
I can't wait until we have the newest MIUI, I've used it on my old Evo and trust me it blows away the one we have now. You guys are going to be so happy once we have it.
I'd use it as my daily and never change it EVER if we had it.
Unless the sense port was finished, in that case I would use that. But otherwise new MIUI is great.

It's not until you use theme manager to download themes. You can customize boot animation, wallpaper, icons, ringtones, with one click. Also, if you don't like those, you can get newer ones online at miuithemes.com, but those may not use all their features on froyo.
I'm really feeling the excitement build in the Epic community and I think its great. Things have been much more positive around here lately as well. I can't wait to try out miui and cm7 after GB source comes out, and hopefully be able to help out finding bugs and testing.
A couple months ago I was ready to ditch this phone for just about anything (even considered downgrading to an EVO) but now I think I'll be happily running the Epic for a good while to come.
For anyone who is fed up waiting for the latest and greatest, try running SFR 1.2 (froyo) with clean kernel. I am very nit picky about my daily driver and this has been flawless. Performance is much better than stock, and everything works so well I just don't feel rushed to upgrade (phone or OS) like I used to.
Right now I'm using marcusants ACS Bamboozle, but will definitely switch when (maybe if) we get GB Miui.
I have also seen an improvement in our community. The useless flaming and bickering has been toned down to a minimum, if not, just completely stopped. Its great to finally be one big happy community like before. I can say SRF 1.2 is def my favaorite ROM and daily driver at the moment, but I'm definetly looking towards CM7 and MIUI. It'll still be a while to get some stable builds done even after source is released so I hope SRF 1.3 is dropped a bit before then so I can totally leave froyo with a bang! and according to qbking77 in the SRF 1.2 development thread, SRF 1.3 is still being worked on, as well as a possible new kernel thanks to their hard work, it'll be a lot easier to wait a bit longer for MIUI/CM7 lol

MIUI just looks like a Chinese iOS knockoff. :\
Since I'm also probably going to be waiting for the next Nexus (if I can resist the SGSII) I'm also looking forward to CM7 and MIUI. I've never used either before or any iteration, but the reports on them are always great.
I'm gonna go to CM7 and set everything up, make a Nandroid Backup, then go to MIUI and set everything up with a Nandroid Backup after, because those are gonna be the only 2 ROMs I'll use.

I'll say one thing, just because it gets ported officially by them doesn't mean it will be any less buggy than the ones already out. In fact in might be a lot more buggy.
There is an official port for my current phone and it is buggier than the unofficial Ports
I'm not trying to be negative, just letting you guys know.

There is an official port for my current phone and it is buggier than the unofficial Ports
I'm not trying to be negative, just letting you guys know.

Things like that can happen but having more people developing for our phone is always good and another good thing is they have the source codes

I wasn't pre assuming...
I was saying it might not be better than the roms that the skilled x10 devs have already ported.
Might being the key word.

An official cm port would really bring the phone back to life

Yesss, Official miui port is nice but an official cm port is the dream, I'd love to see that & enjoy it for a while before upgrading
Anyways of course gonna vote for this too because although personally don't care that much but as I said it would be nice & hopefully will help having more stable roms(be it official or not) and after all we're a community, right?
Cm7 is going official isn't it? I thought that's what freexperias goal was?

Don't you technically need an official cm before you can even get an official miui?
Since miui is based off of cm I thought

Yes. Because as awesome as MIUI is, they do just wait for a stable cm7 for a device then add MIUI to it.
Whatever it is based off, I just really like MIUI'S usability.
There was a windows phone 7 theme and gogmsh, it looked so nice on the phone and when I was forced to go back to stock, I could not stand the ugliness of the keys and theme etc.
Now I'm in cm7, its fast but no where near as good looking as MIUI.

Regardless without cm7 it wouldn't exist..
In fact most roms wouldn't.

get cranky all you want, all i'm saying is cm is extremely important to Android development.
They probably can't even port it without an official
Cm ROM to use as a base.
VOTED!!!
ah it would be great to get updates every friday!
voted too!
maybe the mods would like to sticky this
Hey guys..
My vote also goes for MIUI ROM..
It's just superb.. just a few improvements.. like camera zoom working.. data drop.. Wi-Fi problem.. auto camera flash.. hotspots..
But still it's beautiful.. love it..

I have seen a lot of talk lately with people comparing the ICS development ROM's to Task 14.. I have been swapping back and forth almost daily between AOKP #23 and Task 14 Slim so here are my thoughts..
1st of all both are awesome ROM's that offer plusses and minuses depending on what each individual wants and needs.. These observations are based on MY wants and needs so opinions will vary.. The fact that Task 14, a HC 3.2 ROM even gets mentioned / compared to an ICS ROM speaks volumes about how good it is..
Things I like about AOKP #23:
--Browser hardware acceleration
--No screenshot soft key (I loathe that thing)
--ROM Control
--Ability to set # of homescreens
--Swipe to dismiss
Things I like about Task 14:
--Rock solid and stable
--Camera works for video chat
--Just as fast as ICS in many areas and faster in some
--Mini widgets
--Several awesome themes available
The AOKP is actually pretty stable for the most part and Roman and team have done an awesome job on it but remember it's a beta so there is issues and bugs at the time of this posting.. Task 14 is super rock solid and its really only limited by HC 3.2..
I honestly can't decide which I like better.. They both ROCK! I guess that's why I change between them daily..
A few AOKP issues I have is with apps and the screen.. Words with friends is a good example of this.. Also, the screen gets a little glitchy at times when viewing online images.. Nothing major and by no means a put down on AOKP...
I have had zero issues on Task 14 that are not widespread HC 3.2 related..
If you can live without the camera and are willing to experience a few minor bugs here and there then the AOKP may be for you.. If however you want rock solid with zero bugs, a working camera and a system that is just as fast then Task 14 may be for you..
These are MY thoughts and comparison of 2 kick a$$ ROM's... Thoughts and replies are welcome but please don't turn this thread into a pi$$ing match...
You're just asking for a pissing match. I'll just watch... for now...:sly:

I hope not since they are both awesome ROM's...
I've tried ics, very fast and smooth without touchwiz is a godsend. There is only one 3g ics rom so I have not tried romanb's yet. 3g is a big deal to me. Other thing with isc is no proper USB/mass storage support. It does not show all files that I've downloaded from net except whatever files I transferred to tab. Camera is another big issue for me, or lack of. Video does not work also from the rom I tried. Some apps on market not supported also so cant update. That's my summary of isc. HC3.2 on the other hand is improving. I have not tried Task as again no 3g. I'm a big fan of Alterbridge and his Overcome roms. Been using his rom since the original Tab. His latest 2.3.0 soup up with pershoot kernel is more than great for me. ISC is great but for my daily usage, its not ready yet.

I do realize this is XDA but I guess I hope we all will act like adults and that this mini review will help anyone who can't choose between these 2 awesome ROM's.. Heck I'm having a hard time choosing.. The OP was made on Task 14 and this post is getting made on AOKP..
Good comparsion between the two. Personally, I use Task14 with b00sted's ICS theme. No ICS can compare to it right now, but once the camera issue is solved, ICS will be boss.
All us Task fans are hoping for a Task ICS ROM soon.
BTW, good thread OP.
A Task ICS ROM will be awesome once it comes.. I'm back on the AOKP for this morning as least..
I think we scared off the ones that would have made this a pissing match. Good.
BTW- nice OP.

How can you compare Android 4.0 (No official release and by the way in Alpha state) and Android 3.2?

He is comparing what is available today. The OP is well aware that ICS is in development but he is looking for a daily driver and was looking for others opinions on what we use.
Until ICS is official there is no way to do a 1 for 1 comparison.

It's easy.. I use them both daily and figured my post might help others who are on the fence or not sure which to use..
Anything can be compared.. Pinto -v- Corvette or Blonde -v- Brunette ect....

Easy you try them both and yes ics is alpha but thats what is available now and is the point of this thread. I came to the same conclusion as the OP after using both kang versions. the arguably incremental improvement in smoothness does not outweigh the full functionality goodness of galaxytask
Adding Visidon even gives me face unlock features and with camera ics+ i get the camera panorama functionality on my galaxy task rom

Even though it is supposed to be alpha (since the Camera mainly does not work and there are also some minor bugs), it is quite stable for daily use as I myself use it and the best part is there are some amazing customisation options ..... literally mind blowing!
Thanks for the review. Still haven't custom rom'd it up yet.
When does the official ics come out?
i have found that the battery in the latest ICS kangs (not the one on XDA as that doesnt get updated! but the one on rootzwiki) is by far lots better than any HC.
So indeed for an alpha release ICS is looking very good compare to an already establish HC rom.
So I can only imagine how good ICS will be when SS releases it...hopefully in April..
bit OT interesting that there are no leaks yet from samfirmware!

Agree as well... ICS is not mind blowing and is only slightly snappier than Taks 14 in some areas..
