Miui

Just so everyone knows I've been running miui 9.2 for about an hour now and no wifi drops. I didn't see it posted yet and can't post in that thread yet. Found it on rom manager.

Running flawlessly since early Friday, MIUI.us 9.2. It just keeps getting better. Kick-in wildstang83's DTR method, and it's a great Android experience. I've stuck with MIUI.us for a long time, and it's really grown to something beautiful.

Just flashed it yesterday. My first time on a AOSP rom and I love it.

it's a lot more pretty than CM7 in a lot of ways but it can have it's laggy/buggy moments, particularly the launcher (little on the slow side)

I use a different launcher anyways. I dont like the MIUI iPhone style icons.

When i first try the MIUI roms, it was an amazing rom, but by the updates and all, it get bugged and bugged, i get back to sense <3.

I ran MIUI when it first got released, did not really like it. I installed it again figuring i have a long weekend i will give it a run. Damn i think i'm in love. the customization is crazy and quick. the rom is buttery smooth. I am having a few problems with handcent and plume but nothing deal breaking. Great rom my new daily driver.

I also installed this rom over the weekend and so far so good. I have all my apps sorted in folders which makes things much easier

Have been running MIUI since May, updating every week with new releases and I can't go to another ROM. I have tried but I end up running right back to MIUI. Really amazing work.

I've been debating whether or not to install it, haven't been able to take the plunge yet. Looks like a great ROM tho

I have run miui quite a few times, but cm7 has always been the most reliable for me... just my opinion.

The key I've found to MIUI is to find a version that runs bug free on your phone and stick with it until another comes out with an update that you really care about. I generally keep the version I'm on for ~1 month because I don't want to deal with the chance of that weeks minor updates screwing something up.

Is it just me or is half this ROM in chineese. Have I messed up or is that just the nature of this ROM

Did you download from miui.us? Or from somewhere else. Miui.us takes care of all of the translation into English and I haven't seen any Chinese in the builds I run from them.

There's Chinese in the online section of the theme manager but that's really all I've ever seen.

It is a good Rom, the dev team knows what they are doing. However with a stock interface that leaves a lot to be desired in the customization department..... I switched to adw launcher.... then figured why not go back to cm7 that has adw as it's native launcher.....

Um, did you notice the theme manager?

Favorite Rom for Galaxy Tab

By far my favorite Rom for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is Task650's Rom in combination w/pershoots kernels very smooth, and the dev is very quick to respond to any questions or issues! Thanks for all the hard work really looking forward to anything in the future!

+1 man, new to the android world and happy to use his rom!!

starbust bb
Fast stable smooth. There is no going back once u flashed it

is it better than the build that comes with the tablet? (i think you call this stock rom, right? )
What are the advantages to use this build exactly?
Thanks!

this is by far the best thread out here so far! Lol. Thanks guys. I'm glad everyone's liking it. Tomorrow there will be update.

+1 Great rom task650. Thank You!

Im waiting for a 3.2 port before I go to a custom ROM

Agreed. Currentlly running this ROM and Pershoots Kernal and its running smoooooooooooooooooooooooooth. Thank You!

I loved his rom too, but I dont like the blue theme introduced in 6.1. Can someone let me know how to go back to v6's theme?

I've been rocking with task650.

Broodcromb KH1 leak + pershots + 99superchargerv6 + browsermod onwz! fast like hell... would be perfect if i find a cool theme =p

One more Task's fan out here. LOL. His roms are soo clean. No bull****

Blazar non-TW + Bonsai kernel, smooth, love the stock Honeycomb UI.

I'm on stock. Is the rom worth the upgrade? I mainly use the web browser? Is the browser faster? Has anyone done any benchmarks?

Task's V5 gets my vote!

Tasks ROM is the perfect choice!

Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk

Task650 ROM is too unreliable. It has the battery drain issue. I ran Task650 for about a week and twice the tablets battery was dead in the morning after still having 60% or more life left the night before. I reverted back to the stock ROM and never had a problem since or before Task650. I wouldnt recommend it.

Hm which version did you use?
I'm about to try it out, but won't if this problem is "common"

Yes, it is a common problem with Task650 and other ROMs here. Stock ROM is the only one which is immune to it. You have to be very careful here. The devs who create ROMs here do not list you the bugs and issues their ROM has, and rest assure every ROM here has issues. They will not list them in the first posts of the threads because there is a sense of competition between the ROMs. They dont want to divulge the bugs, issues, and incompatibilities because it will look bad of their ROM. Its very unfortunate.
Anyway, I wouldnt flash your tab if I were you. Its just not worth it. I dont want to worry about my battery suddenly discharging in just 12 hours even when the unit is in sleep mode. Its a major issue and I recommend reading the huge thread about it. Its a mess.

Good ROM to try out?

hey guys iv been rooted since day 1 and iv been on KINGS ROM since day 1 as well!
but i want to get off of kings rom and try out new stable rom. what are the good ones out there?

If you never use your 4G, then MIUI is the ROM for you. It's fast, stable, and energy-efficient despite all the "bugs" people ramble about. It's also very customizable and updates every Friday to ensure you always get the latest versions and bug fixes.

I can't wait to get my hands on a stable ICS rom. It will just give us EVO owners that much more shelf life.
Question, I know there is an Alpha for ICS in the works right now. Do the developers already have everything they need to develop the rom or does a phone like the Galaxy Nexus which will have ICS stock have to come out first?
As for a good current rom, I'm running Mik 2.61, very clean, stable and great battery life. It's a Sense rom, different themes are available.

I am really enjoying using [ROM]11/22/11 RCMix3d Runny® ☰SENSE 3.5 Blue/Glass

Been gone! just wanna say hi again! 4S to SGS2

Hi Guys
been out of the scene for some time. ive been a member since the palm treo era. been so busy at work and was sunk into the iphone world. and im tired of the cat and mouse chase regarding the unlock and jailbreak scene. recently, i just fell in love with the SGS2. just ordered the white unlocked version from a UK source. been doin some reading recently bout rooting and mods.
i believe it comes with ginger bread rom and looking around youtube, it seems to be a nice rom. but maybe in the future i would eventually root it and install a custom rom. ( any suggestions?...) any one running the ICS?
oh well im just excited im getting a bad ass phone!

Welcome back
Don't think you have to wait long for an official Samsung ICS, but if you can't wait take a look at this:
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/New-Android-4-0-3-ROM-leak-by-Samsung-for-Galaxy-S-II-I9100XXLP2-Download-Screenshots-Video-

Welcome on "our side". ;-)
As for the roms, well, here is a quick-start-guide:
1. Full TouchWiz-based ROM's like lightning and checkrom.
2. TouchWiz-based ROM's with less preinstalled apps like gingermod.
3. CyanogenMod 7 for gingerbread and 9 for ice cream sandwich
4. MIUI for a totally redefined UI.
I had them all and liked them all. There were just some that I liked more than others, and before I give you a biased tip, I'd say that you should try all out by yourself.
Installing custom-roms is a piece of cake on that device.
Have fun!

Welcome,
You'll love the phone it's a nice bit of kit.
User above has explained the rom side ill explain the kernel side,
Most basic stock, intratechs thread all stock roms and kernel odexed versions.
Looking to root or maintain a stock kernel with root, busybox etc CF Root by Chainfire.
Looking for a stock like kernel, with tweaks and good performance and battery checkout SpeedMod or Phenomenal which is based on Speedmod.
If you like tinkering with kernels then Phoenix, NEAK and SiyahKernel all very popular and can adjust them in many ways for your liking.
Most of all enjoy, you'll soon start flashing and testing out various things.

thanks guys! just found out that my phone was dispatched already by DHL hopefully ill get it in 3days from UK to US.
just also ordered a DL jig on ebay just incase i need it to restore to factory for warranty purposes.
thanks sniper for that list. would definitely try it and see what suits my taste.
nice one nikz - as far as these kernels, are they all compatible with the roms that sniper listed?
thanks again!

It depends on the kernel.
I doubt any of them is compatible to CyanogenMod 9.
The Siyah-kernel is compare to all other tho.

Only official kernels work with any ics rom. No custom kernels until kernel source is released by Sammy.
As for rom/kernel combos, I got the best battery out of cm7+siyah kernel after undervolting and stuff. Cm9 is just too good to pass up. Still getting a full day, but not 20ish hours heavy use like I did with cm7.
As far as I know all gb kernels work for all gb roms, but I would check each one. The difference is Samsung based or cm7 based(miui)

Juzt make sure it is i9100 or i9100g or other variant so you can flash the correct roms etc. And most of all welcome back and enjoy your freedom in an open community and always search before posting ;-)

Im looking for ONE version of a ROM to flash, and not have to flash updates after

Friend has been using the i9000, and I have the latest RC of cm7 on it.
She says that once in a while the phone will either reboot, or the screen goes dim and becomes unresponsive and she has to pull the battery.
I will be letting her have the phone as a gift but I want to flash a rom on there that is just rock solid (dont care about features). Just SOLID/stable as she doesnt know to flash any updates and I wont be flashing any more updates to it.
I was thinking about just putting on the latest nightly of cm7 but I dont see any changelogs for it to see what was fixed between the RC and nightly.
I was also thinking about Gamerzrom.
any more suggestions?

I'm running TiramiSlim 2.0 ICS, based on Slim ICS,with Devil Kernel, for a couple of weeks now,
smooth, stable, good battery and no issues

use cyanogenmod 9 RC2. Bug free basically. As for the freezing, are you using stock kernel? Cause it may be a hardware error. My friends phone had it after ics upgrade and all i had to do to fix it was install a custom kernel and bump up the voltages for the 100 and 200mhz frequencies by 25 - 50mV.

Flash her a stock rom, no rooting or fiddling.

And maybe in few days she will be able to update to Jelly Bean automatically from Samsung servers.

No it won't there is no ICS for our phone,just go for AOKP M6 don't look any where else

ok so I've been suggested so far:
tiramislim with devil kernel
cm 9 RC2
aokp m6 (probably the one i've heard least about)
and a stock rom (I thought custom roms are supposed to remove bugs?)
to answer your question, yes it is on the default CM7 kernel

Yep.Custom roms always faster than stock ones.But if we are talking about bugs,hmm.. i dunno..Stock must be better at that.
If your friend is not using her phone too much,i mean just making calls and sms also music etc,flash stock rom and give ut as it is.No need to root.. Pure stock.
I suggest you to flash 2.3.4 JVQ.Then change CSC by typing
*#272*imeinumber# to XEU
Get latest open europe stock firnware from kies.With that she can get latest updates easily.

Decide whether you want to put ICS or GB on it before asking for suggestions I reckon.
DMORE 3.5 is a rock solid GB ROM with awesome features. If I didn't have jelly bean hunger, I'd be using that.

Its doesnt matter whether its GB or ICS, thats is why I am here, asking for THE MOST solid release of a rom in general
Had Dmore before cm7. found cm7 has less bugs

I'm gonna give a second vote for CM9 RC2. Before jumping to Jellybean, I used the CM9 nightly builds with the semaphore kernel. For me it was always rock solid, and still blazing fast. No bugs. Cheers!

I didnt think cm9 was this popular and considered so stable yet

ICS Elite 1.4.1, it's very fast, stable and bug free. It is also the final version of the rom so there will be no more updates anyway.

You are the second person who has said that stock and not a custom rom will make it more solid.
Why is this? Don't custom roms generally perform better in most aspects? less bugs, etc

without intending to offend all girls on xda (who probably DO care about tech stuff - which is why they are here), sadly most if the girls I know are more concerned about the colour of the phone than which rom it has.
So, if said girl is fitting my terrible stereotype, then you'd be better off asking her which is her favourite colour and picking a suitably themed rom of the right colour! (as long as it is stable enough).
For all girls who DO care about tech: I apologise for perpetuating such offensive sexist rubbish! I SALUTE you!

Slim ICS for me after gamerz rom (last release often hangs for me each time I load too much things in App) and Darky (ok but got quickly crowded by apps and started to lag).
The slim roms allows you to have good battery and small memory footprint, then you add apps to it. Since a week, it's rock solid, I got half day extra in battery life too with my usage (mix of movie/media/3G surfing during 30 minutes commute each way + 20/30 min daily calls)
