Do you know when this will be available through Kies? Nordic.
I just got 2.3.4, but battery sucks, so I'm not happy. If I'll have to wait a long time, then I guess I'll have to learn to deal with Odin and rooting...

Yeah i got that too!!
Battery usage link under applications was always there.
i think the vibrate icon is NOT a bug, i think they changed that to!
because..
when you put your profile on Ringtone+ vibration, the vibrate icon appears right ?
now drag down the notification bar and put it on silent, you wil get an icon of a speaker with a \ stripe( a new silent mode icon?)
so i think they did this on purpose, as i have never seen the speaker icon appear when myh phone needed to be silent( not that i ever put it to silent, but i have never seen this icon!)
Grtz
Can someone upload the TwLancher.apk from this firmware please????

This has happened in 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 for me also. I think 2.3.5 was better..just in my case anyways. Could be that the phone is running a bit quicker

So, I have been using MIUI V4 for a few days now and I LOVE IT! I wanted to share a tip in the MIUI V4 tip thread...but couldn't find one. There's one for the older version of MIUI (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498809) written by omair2005 but nothing specifically for V4.
I'd like to thank Omair2005 for the original post. It very informative and even if you are on V4, you need to read it...you need to thank him for it!
Many of the tips on Omair2005's post will work with V4 and I will be pulling those into this post as time allows, but until then, I'd like to share some of my tips. Some of these are just my observations and may not be 100% accurate or the best way to do something. If anyone has any recommendations or corrections, please let me know and I will update them
For me, one of the best/worst things about MIUI was ALL the application icons on the home screen. With the initial flash, there are a few screens with icons for all my apps showing. I loved it.
Once I restored all my apps it was a different story. I had 8 screens full of icons...all over the place with no logical order.
I started organizing them into folders...but then I couldn't remember which folder had what and I truly missed my App Drawer. While trying to organize one of my folders, I mistakenly dropped it on to the dock...then I realized.......
I could put a folder on the dock...call it Applications (or whatever) and put everything I didn't want on the home screens in there...then sort them in the folder and viola, I have my App Drawer back.
There are a few limitations such as no full screen view of apps or the ability to sort the folder...but maybe in the future, someone will figure it out.
Miss the scrolling wallpaper - go to Menu -> Launcher Settings and select 'High quality graphics'.
SMS gibberish is still happening for me with the stock Messaging app. I use a 3rd party app like Handcent or GoSMS and they have an option to split large messages into multiple messages. This seems to work for me.
WiFi access to SD card
Accessing the SD card through USB is not functioning. You can, however, gain access to your SD card through WiF: enter “File Explorer” on the desktop, select the "FTP" tab. Hit start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!
Long press on the icon in Toggles to launch the settings for that icon.
When you pull down the notification bar, you will see the Toggle settings for plenty of options (such as WIFI, volume, backlight etc). Long press on any icon in the Toggle mode will launch the setting for that icon.
Built-in Screen Capture function
One of the lacking feature in Android is the lack of a built-in screen capture feature (like in iPhone). Not anymore. With MIUI, you can press the “Menu” key and “Volume Down” key at the same time to capture a screenshot. The printed image is saved in the “MIUI: directory in the sd card.
Home Screen previews
In previous versions of MIUI, hitting the home button while on the home screen would bring up the home screen previews. This no longer works. In V4, from any screen, hit Menu, Preview.
Move home screen icon easily
Hold down an icon by one hand to enter Edit Mode, and then use the other hand to slide the screen to move the icon to the target screen.
Launch Music Player in lockscreen
In the lockscreen, double tap the time zone to launch the Music Player. (The Music Player is hidden by default, unless a song is playing)
Running Apps List: Long press on the Home button and it will bring you to your running apps list. Swipe the an app either left or right to close them one at a time, or click the “Broom” icon at the bottom left to close all listed apps and clear the extra processes in memory. The bar across the top will inform you of the used memory and current available memory.
Note: System processes will not be cleared so as to ensure the normal running of the system. The Android icon on the bottom right will bring you to the running services portal in settings.
Percentage Battery Indicator Style: To change the battery icon to a percentage, slide down your notification bar, select the 'Toggles' tab and then hit the 3 dots in the top right. From there, you can change the status bar settings. One of those settings being Battery indicator style.
Note: It does not show a percentage while charging...Only when unplugged and discharging.
Add a favorite in the messaging app: In the new messaging app, there are three tabs on the top: "Messaging | Favorites | Recommended" If you go into Favorites, there is nothing in there and there really isn't any method for adding one. I found that if I go to a message that I had already sent...long press the message bubble and Lock it, it shows in the Favorites.

Anyone reading these? I feel like I am talking in an empty room.
This is good, but until its not alpha these options and settings may change. Also you should mention that theme support is not fully functional cause of upstream issues.

also any bugs present in cm9 will be in miui as well (ex: video tearing)
tomorrow's MIUI release should have a lot of upstream fixes and if cm9 alpha 6 comes out sooner than later, we might have an awesome miui v4 build!
I have been using this rom since it was released and so far, for me, it has been incredible. I tried the last version of MIUI and really gave it a chance(4 days.....like an eternity!)...but for some reason or another, I couldn't get myself to 'love' it.
With this version, I notice less issues with the video, less issues with force closes and overall, a more 'flashy' experience!
On the down site, I do notice that it gets HOT sometimes...and that usually means my battery is going to be killed. I have noticed at times that the drop is 10-12% per hour......
But I digress....let's keep the thread focused on Tips/Tricks for the rom!
Thanks for your feedback.

Going to update to the new build if it is out

check the thread about official ics and next time read the readme on first post before flash a rom!!!
A while ago someone posted a thread about Remix OS which really made me think how good that would be. Unfortunately as we can see development for this device is next to 0 so i decided make this guide for anyone who might want to have a similar experience on a stock rooted rom with xposed.
***I DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THESE APPS, I JUST ZIPPED THOSE THAT I USE AND MADE THIS TUTORIAL SO THOSE THAT WANT THIS DONT NEED TO SEARCH EVERYWHERE TO FIND THEM***
***The xhalomultiwindow beta app was found near the end of the xhalomultiwindow thread and the sidebar is from another thread on XDA and all credits for the apps go to their creators***
Firstly ... there are bugs like sometimes something will force close or some apps might freak out a bit when being resized in the floating mode and not scale properly but it works in my opinion well enough for every day use.
With this tutorial i assume that you have xposed installed and running. If you dont, just do a fast google search for *xposed for lollipop 64 bit* or something similar and you will find it on XDA.
1. Download the zip in this post and extract with 7zip
2. Install the Xhalofloatingwindow-beta apk
3. Activate module in Xposed installer and reboot
4. Install the sidebar apk
5. Run the Toggle MultiWindowSidebar app from your app drawer(this should make a arrow in a white semi circle show up on the right side of the screen-the sidebar)
6. Run the MultiWindowSidebar app from the app drawer and enable start on boot and keep service in background. Here you also add in the apps you want to have and choose how they open if you drag them or tap them from the sidebar. I have it set in Drag Launch Mode to XhaloFloatingWIndow Portrait (landscape has weird scaling) and in Tap Launch Mode to Default which will open the app like normal android would
7. Open xHaloFloatingWindow from the app drawer and in the Popup WIndow menu set the Popup Dim to 0% (it is a matter of personal taste but i like it more this way with no dimming)
8. On the next page (swipe right to movable and resizeable) enable the switch and here you can play around a bit with the settings and set them as you like
9. Do a reboot just for good measure, it probably isnt needed but i did it anyway.
10. Have fun and dont try to kill me if something freaks out because you made the window 1x1cm
Another app that works nicely with this but is totally standalone is OGyoutube, while you can use normal youtube with this the OG app also allows playing in background downloading and playing with the screen off so i would highly recommend it.
Thanks for sharing! I'll play round with this
Another screenshot of Hill Climb Racing running in one window, Adblock Browser in another window while Moonlight streaming runs in the background at 1080p 60fps (the stream keeps working with apps over it but you might need to disable App Pausing in XhaloFloatingWindow app)
I can't seem to move this, its stuck at the bottom right of my screen, any ideas ?
I am also looking for this changes from right corner to center of my home screen, but cant find any solution, most of the recommendations seems to be use another app launcher like Nova or apex.. but that will slow down the performance a lil bit.. any other twick to over come this..
