omg what is this?? I go to vibrant dev section and all i see are like 800 roms of miui...
Can someone explain how they differ? I understand some do, such as neobuddy's new rom because of the massive tweaks and mods, but the others? Theres a miui stock, miui.us, miui 360 ... what is this?!?!?
There's only 3? Lol
The Stock MIUI is like stock CM7,
The MIUI 360 and that other one by Neosomething are almost the same, they have similar tweaks.
Because it's so customizeable an there are more CM7's I think

I count 8 so far - may be more though
Hmm how many 2.2 roms are there.....how many Ginger ,2.3 roms are out there....in my opinion miui is taking off nicely...
Although miui is 2.3 its not at all like Ginger or any other filmware out there
Its a whole different animal
i'd say the 4 MIUI roms under the same thread has the most support ...
and i got my working GPS using their rom. great work
i was in CM7 too but i just love MIUI for its customisation
On the MIUI discussion. Has there yet been a MIUI published that has an App Drawer built in, or has the capabilities of using one? I tried MIUI a while back but could not get past it not having an App Drawer. I know I move the apps to a folder and have the folder docked but this does not work quite the way I want it to, that and I have over 130 apps, and this takes a long time to move them to a folder. To be honest it is the only thing holding me back from using MIUI again.
Just use a different launcher that does have an app drawer, I'm using go launcher and loving it

Last time I tried, a couple of months ago,I had issues using any other launcher. I was using stock MIUI. If we are able to use additional launchers, I may have to give MIUI another try.
Oh and GOLauncher is what I use with CWM right now. Best Launcher I have found so far.
For one yes you can use any launcher you want and have an app drawer and second there is an alternative app drawer in android developement forum and the market.

Market launchers certainly work fine with MIUI ROMs.... Plus, if anything, you can just make a folder for all of your apps, set it to "arrange alphabetically" and just put all of your apps in that folder.

you remind me of my friend Hadyn.
He says that constantly but makes me laugh so hard haha
thinking of trying a different rom. Been using bionix. Would you suggest if MIUI is a good rom to move to? Hows the battery life?
Miui is faster and smoother, battery life isn't quite as good as a 2.2 rom but it's getting better. It's defiantly good enough for a daily driver.

ok, no miui app drawer. if you have 130 apps then i would suggest you sort them by use/function in folders. ie. Social/Tools/Games/etc.
other then the miui.us version all the roms you see are themed variants with additional apps/build.prop tweaks. most are setup by Nick and his team.
i usually just download stock miui, and rip the build.prop out of nicks rom edit it to suit my needs, strip out the crap apps i don't ever use zip and install.

I don't think any other EI22 rom has it, but random has these mods as independent flashable zips. He actually forgot to include the low battery video mod in the final release of 3.3, and has it in the op for thunderhawk 3.3. You should flash it if you have not yet. It will allow the default video player to run below 10% battery for those that don't know already.

Some third party video players can run to zero as well. These are modified versions of the stock tw video player and camera. His camera mod also allows silent shutter. I don't remember what cm7 uses for these as default. I have not ran it in a while. There may be other tw EI22 roms out with these specific mods, but I don't recall seeing any. Stuff changes fast around here and it's hard to keep up with everything available.

So I'm really thinking about installing cm7 as I'm tired of the sad battery life on the MT4G, however, I'm finding it somewhat difficult to weigh the other pros and cons of switching from stock. There are plenty of threads and videos on how to do this, and plenty that talk about speed, but that doesn't really help answer my questions about functionality unfortunately.
Here's the thing: There are certain things in the stock rom that I don't want to lose in the process and I can't seem to figure out what I will gain and lose by switching.
Here's what I know so far about switching:
- I will have a longer battery life.
- I will lose the genius button functionality, but I can install that separately, so no big deal. I use this for texting handsfree while driving - just connect an audio cable to my stereo.
- The bloat is gone.
Here's what I can't figure out:
- How does the homescreen function without sense? Does it look the same? Do I maintain the built in widget sets?
- Do I lose the quick settings option from the status bar?
- Will my phone still wake using the trackpad?
- Will all the major abilities and apps function normally? Specifically messaging, Google browser, long press shortcuts (ie send link to: X using Y app), alarms, camera, GPS?
Opinions, advice?

I suggest to move to one of the new non-T-Mobile Sense versions. Sense 3 or 3.5.
You'll retain the functionality that you want, gain some new one, most likely gain battery life, and won't lose the good sides of Sense that you're used to (widgets etc).
In the worst case, it's just a simple trial and error process - you can try different ROMs, and if you decide that stock suited you better than everything - you'll be able to install it, and probably even tweaked and customizable version of it.
I didn't know that there was such a thing. I don't mind losing the ”prettiness” of sense, I just need the functionality to be there.
Any rom names off the top of your head that I can look for?

Here's what I can't figure out:
- How does the homescreen function without sense? I don't even get this question. Does it look the same? Different types of Android look different from one another. Sense has its look. TouchWiz has its. Vanilla Android has its. Do I maintain the built in widget sets? If you go with another Sense ROM, then yes, you will most likely have more sense most ROM here now are 3.0 or 3.5.
- Do I lose the quick settings option from the status bar? In most of the aftermarket ROMs, you will gain more quick settings. Read about the ROMs offered here.
- Will my phone still wake using the trackpad? Most of the ROMs have incorporated this into the build.
- Will all the major abilities and apps function normally? Apps? Yes. Abilities? Depends on the ROM. Some have a few bugs, others don't. Camera seems to be a big issues on this aftermarket sense ROMs, but there's usually a fix somewhere in the thread for that ROM. Specifically messaging, Google browser, long press shortcuts (ie send link to: X using Y app), alarms, camera, GPS?
Opinions, advice? After market ROMs are smoother than stock ROMs and obviously have better battery life as you know. They have much more that you can customize depending on the ROM. After market ROMs are ALWAYS better than stock. So, have fun choosing. Personally, I'm on Core Droid.

I always end up having issues with sense 3.5 roms and won't recommend them to anyone. Vu 2.39 is amazing though. There is also some mysense roms out there that will look just like your stock phone, I can think of about 3 off the top of my head.

i've been using virtuous unity 2.39 ever since it went to a stable build. it has good battery life (better then stock) and the performance is great if you like the sense roms. if not i would cay cm7 is also the other one that you should try
if you wanted to go throwback, you could use cm6. I always got better battery life on it than with cm7 back when i used it... try miui. theme it if the looks bother you.

S.O.S N and X are what you want for sure. We've talked alot in OD's forum I have since switched to swags roms. N is a senseless sense rom, its currently what I use, the sense apks were replaced by go launcher/dialer/lockscreen ect. Its very cool and fast. If you want sense only X is the way to go. Very very fast built with sense 4.0 elements really good stuff. Both of these are D.D candidates. You'll have a much better experience with almost no problems. Currently Swag is updating all the SOS roms for theme and more speed. Drop your swap partition before flashing any of swags roms you will never need it. I'll post screen shots of N for you to look at.

You can have any lock screen you want there's dozens of them. There's a really cool sense screen you can can icons on the lockscreen,just like the express. Mine is called ics HD by go locker its about the best one, you have 4 lockscreen icons you can set. It was to hard to get a screen shot of the icons while dragging the ring to show them. Dude I love the express alot, but since I've been on swag I've had a way better phone functionality and way more control over the phone with better results. I also am using underworld 2 and I'm getting amazing results on SOS. I'll always be a od fan but my evo belongs to swag town now.

SOS are some of my favorite roms around. Super stable, and super optimized. And everything works. I've been rocking SOS X lately, and I must say, its one of the best roms I've ever used on my OG Evo.
I recommend partitioning your SD card to Ext3, flashing Darktremors apps2sd, and running Car-o-dope's tweaks, and you'll have yourself a freaking bad**s phone!
Using either SOS X or N.

I found that using Cyanogen Mod 7 + the high quality audio patch gave really good video results. If you don't like the standard camera app then I'd go for a Sense rom.
But if your going to be filming and taking pictures in low light then the camera on this phone will not cut it.

Drivers, I suppose, or the Camera app isn't optimized for it. That's just me guessing. I do agree though that the image quality from GB/2.1 Sense ROMs are much better compared to 3/3.5 or even ICS ROMs. I'd go for Virtuous Sense 2.0. Tried that back then. It wasn't perfect, but with a few tweaks here and there (Supercharger Script etc.) I got it running smooth and stable.
