[Q] MiUi VS CyanogenMod Performance.

Here's the short version:
There's a remarkable performance difference between CyanogenMod Nightlies and MiUi.
MiUi is somewhat based on CM from my understanding, I've never seen how it's based on it.
The system performance with MiUi is smother.
Benchmarks, Antutu and Passmark, are quite a bit higher with MiUi as well.
FPS goes up 2+fps during the benchmarks.
Anybody else notice? Wondering how that's possible and how CM can be juiced up.
I'm getting market errors that apps are not compatible with the Nook on MiUi but going back to CM is rather hard even with it's more nook friendly features.

I have found the exact opposite... What CM version did you test?

I tested nightly 203 against 1.9.23. MiUi benched better at 1.2ghz than cyanogen did at 1.3ghz.
cm n203 at 1.325ghz, where mine tests best, scored 2528 on Antutu. MiUi at 1.3ghz scored 2895.
I didn't document the MiUi breakdown of scores. it was across the board higher except SD read/write.
perhaps I should try it again after a fresh wipe(?).

It has been long known that you get better benchmarks with 1.2Ghrz than 1.3. I would say try again with a complete wipe for each and the same overclock settings.

I can't comment on benchmark performance but I'll say that, after using and really liking variations of Cyanogenmod (CM7.01, CM7.03, CM7.1RC and various nightlies) I'm almost sad to report how much better looking and smooth operating MIUI has been for me lately. The Nook port of MIUI automatically sizes icons in a visually appealing way, I have never had one single problem with Market (not with access, not with missing apps, not where I have to fiddle around with density settings) and it delivers an overall responsive performance. No problem reestablishing wireless after sleep, no problem syncing after sleep. I had some freezing problems with my Nook but I had those when I ran CM too. I believe my freezing problems stemmed from Beautiful Widgets as I haven't had them since uninstalling it. I really admire the work that Cyanogenmod does but I want to give my Nook the best chance to work fully and flawlessly and right now that's MIUI for me.

MIUI, although based off CM7, is very lightweight. It is meant to run fluidly and smoothly, taking up as few system resources as possible. It makes for great battery life.

I have heard about MIUI for a while but never give it a try. I got CM7 on eMMC, does MIUI offers installing and running off the uSD?
If so, can some MIUI users pls give me the link to the file?

I love the undertones of unbridled hate for MIUI... I mean, CM7 is nice and all -- without it, there would be no MIUI -- but it is not the end all, be all Android ROM. Each one almost explicitly caters to a different subset of Android users and let's be honest here, we all know which way we lean...

I tested today, partially. I only used Antutu.
I benched at 1.2ghz and 1.3ghz. I took photos of the results.
bottom line: MiUi was the old install, no wipe, gun bros and apps in the background, using built in app killer betwee tests, 2600 at 1.2 and 2700 at 1.3.
CMn211, with "bloat" removed, only gapps and Antutu installed, rebooted between tests, near the same results.

I am using MIUI, and wondering what I am missing by not trying CM7.
Can you share what you think are the "CM7 Nook Friendly features"?
Only two apps NOT working on MIUI :- (Now both resolved)
Samba, which exposes the SDHC card to my PC's on my home network. (however apparently this does not work on CM7 either) It complains that it cannot gain access to the shell. (Downgrade Busybox one version, Set up Samba, use once and upgrade Busybox again)
BirdieSync Syncs with Mozilla Thunderbird (this problem may be a resolvable setup issue) (Forgot to activate on PC as separate device)
Apps working on MIUI :-
Market | GAPS | Twitter | B&N Nook | Titanium Backup | Cozi | Swype | Overlook Fing | Set CPU | Swype Keyboard | QuickPic | Nook Tweaks | Roboform | Rom Manager | DropBox | Google Books | Astro File Mgr | Google Maps.
Have you found a good Notification-bar at the bootom of the screen; to replace the Nook Notification-bar (at least that is what I thing it is called)? (zMooth is very good 1st step)
Credit definitely goes to CyanogenMod for making it possible !!!

Since I posted ive become more used to button saviour, I bought it before cm had tablet tweaks.
my problem is due to the 180 screen density. at 160 all apps show as compatible in the market.
so I work around using Amazon store and changing the dpi, manually, for certain apps. maps for example are not compatible.
still wondering why MiUi is so much smoother. the new stable and nightly are even worst video performance wise than the old er nightlies.

I've tried both and can't speak to benchmarks but the one persistent thing I didn't care for in Miui was the lack of app drawer. I didn't care for every application having an icon on a homescreen. I think I've just become use to the drawer so much that the Miui seemed cluttered.
Would love to hear others opinions and/or work arounds for the missing app drawer.

That's border-lining on the IOS philosophy of stuffing screens with icons. I'm not a fan either. The main thing that keeps me from switching, however, is that I want to use it in landscape mode. Tablets are meant to be used landscape primarily. Readers are not, but the whole purpose of me going through the trouble of modding my Nook is to make it less like a reader and more like a tablet...

Everything runs much smoother than in CM 7 nightlies, BUT, look how many times the individual has to flip the device to run any of their apps.
That's not right.

Try it with Zeam Launcher or Launcher pro and folder organizer. It has been performing great for me. So smooth it has made my Nook enjoyable to use once again...Yet to have any force closes. looks great in landscape or portrait...

Yeah, I guess I never realized the launcher in Miui was replaceable. I loaded up VTL launcher, and it's running great! Very smooth and very stylish in all the menu systems! Android should take a chapter on design from these guys...

Cyanogenmod 9 v6.0 vs stock ICS 4.0.4 (basic differences?)

Hi everybody! I have some "newbie" questions about CyanogenMod 9...
1. Is it really faster compared to stock ICS? I haven't overclocked the processor and my main problem with ICS, is that the default launcher has a little stuttering some times and it's not absolutely smooth. In CyanogenMod9, the "Trebuchet" launcher is almost at the same level in terms of "movement flow".
I had Nova launcher previously and I'm thinking of installing it again on CyanogenMod 9...will this be a right move?
2. What else is better than the stock ICS there? Ι already use that marvelous power widget inside the notification bar, but, except some similar workflow tweaks, I can't see anything else...any feature list compared to the stock ICS 4.0.4?
3. Why the torch toggle-in-notification is disabled in settings? (the pre-installed torch seem to work perfectly)
4. Screen brightness gets increased when there is a lot of light around, but It doesn't decrease its brightness when I go in a dark room again...Am I doing something wrong? (I haven't touched those sensor filters etc...)
Can you please help me? I'm not a developer and I'm mostly concerned about a smooth and fast experience.

1. Make a nandroid and try it out yourself.
There is no right move. Do whatever it is you want. Your phone won't explode if you install the "wrong" launcher.
2. Take a look at the popular roms in the dev section and repeat #1. Or look at bedalus's benchmarks if you're really that apprehensive.
3. probably hasn't had the bugs worked out.
4. again, maybe a bug. After you flash a couple of roms I'm sure you'll see that you can get #3 and #4 working.
More doing and less thinking. As I said, you have a nandroid to fall back on.

Thanks for the response!
1. If you read carefully my post (sorry for my bad English), you will understand that I already have tried CM9 v6.0 and that was the reason I wanted to know more, because I don't see any performance improvement over stock ICS 4.0.4 on my Nexus S. Am I wrong? There must be some objective reasons except my judgement.
2. I was talking specifically about CM9 features.
3. I figured that with the torch...it's probably not ready yet. I can't find any post about the brightness though (there are so many options there which I don't fully understand and brightness never works as it should).
4. I don't want to flash other roms...I have already flashed Wildestpixel's roms and I didn't see an obvious performance difference too...

For trebuchet if you check (or unchecked I forget) the join with apps setting it makes the launcher just as smooth as gingerbread

Well, I switched from Bugless Beast today to latest CM9 nightly (15.4, not the KalimochoAz version posted on here).
Haven't tried CM9 for a while and it surprised me, speed wise and stuff integrated in it. I'm a fan of stockish ROM's, that's why I used BB since ICS came out. What made me stay is:
- integration of BLN & Voodoo sound, meaning I don't need to run those 2 apps in BG (saves memory ofcourse, I'm a sucker for optimization)
- BigMem is quite noticeable, also RAM free right after clean flash is about 200MB (vs 140MB on AOKP, which is the ****tiest, meaning when I use the apps I have in BG, there was constant launcher restart - low on RAM)
- seems like internal storage speed is faster, I noticed level loading on Where's my water game is perhaps the same as on GB (was waay slower when ICS came out)
- nice UI optional goodies in the ROM but still without AOKP "lets **** everything in" bloat (battery %, power key camera shutter, custom autobrightness levels, T9 dialer). Wanted those on BB, where they were out of question, since BB is more stockish.
- no weird governors, OC or voltages, just ondemand/cfq as on stock, don't use deep idle
So for me, it's a good sweet spot between stock and custom ROM.*
*Disclaimer:
I've used BB for months & AOKP for 2 weeks, both on SimpleKernel, which is basically stock with added BLN&Voodoo. I don't fiddle around with OC/Governors. Those are my observations and I don't intend to debate "why you didn't use "xxkernal v.9302".

Today, I'm trying out the 1200 OC, works completely stable so far, playing with the phone over half an hour now. 1400 rebooted after couple minutes. Try it out !
About brightness decrease, you need to enable it in extra auto-brightness settings at the bottom.

Thanks for the tip! Do you know what actually happens when "system update" detects an update? What is it actually after? An official post 4.0.4 update or a CyanogenMod update? Also, what happens in each situation? Can it be updated OTA?

Well I've tried most of the best out there and I think cm9 is far the smoothest rom out there. So stick with it. If you want to enhance ur experience with it then try pics reloaded I just love it.
Now the only thing left is search key mod foe recent apps to be modded with cm9 v6 cuz I tried the latest and it wipes out a lot of my options.

Have you checked out the ICS ROM Benchmark Chart? Surprisingly, CM9 is ranked way at the bottom.

Screw benchmarks, usage experience counts and it's not measurable.

Agreed those who actually perform better in bench mark end up being a nuisances. If u want a daily driver stick with cm9 its glitch free.

I'm using CM9. Last rom I tried was AOKP build 32, but I went back to CM9.

Good Rom?

Hello, i want you to tell me which Rom for my Nexus7 are the best.
I really like to hear your Opinion, because i am on CM10, and the Battery Drain is to much.
Btw, can i save my Apps +Save for my Next rom?
EDIT: is there a rom that Supports Circle Mod Batterie AND(!) Tablet UI?

I think your best bet is to try each and experience it yourself. What's good or the best for others might not be for you

i tried them all and honestly i went back to the stock rom. i use the SPB shell 3d and just love how it makes the N7 just pop.
under the settings tab of the SPB shell 3d there is a landscape mode. no need to adjust any settings in the system folders just select the landscape option and your done.
cheers

Uhh, looks nice.

With a kernel as powerful as the clemsyn battery savings really isn't the goal on my device. But honestly it really isn't that bad. Best to use a aap like setcpu or system tuner pro so you can set a lower CPU speed like 1.3 when on battery. at home I have it at 1.8 when the device is unlocked. Best thing about the setcpu profiles is that my n7 always boots at 1.3 but when you unlock it the nitro kicks in. Heat isn't a issue with interactive and cfq. n7 needs 1.8 it's there and when it doesn't it cycles down. Also if I was traveling I would flash a milder kernel for battery savings.
Spb shell 3d is pretty sick but expensive like 15 or something in play but worth it. Thx I like my n7 very much

I tried several including MoDaCo, Xenonhd, cm10 aosp, and Sgt7 - the last one I stuck with. Right now I don't need sick over clock, I do need stable, I like the modified launcher . The only issue I had was installing with the 0726 gapps and dev included 0810 gapps in post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788518

Good, i try Stock rom with spb shell.
Last question, can i add a Circle Mod/Percent Mod for my STock Rom (JB?)
or can i add Images somewhere?

performance v50018 vs 20a

I installed the new official rom v50020a and are disappointed with performance especially in games. That performance was superior v18a. This rom seemed to me the most powerful than all roms, since the battery is emptied very quickly, especially in stand by. In AnTuTu benchmark 18a give almost 27,000 and v20a less than 24,000. In Real Racing 3 feel the difference. V50020a is final rom for OTA? Performance and battery worse than the first official rom. I think I'll go back to 4.2.2.

If the v18a was superior, why not go back to it instead?

The problem is that the rom v18 of battery empties very quickly in standby. I have to install a custom rom based on v18 with another kernel.

What do you call 'very quickly'? I found it emptied slower than with 4.2.2 in standby with WiFi on.

I set the wi-fi to be turned off when the tablet is in stand by. It is among the settings after installing a new rom.

Did you notice any difference on the screen brightness, gamma values and 7 spots on the bottom?

Jessooca said:
The battery life is actually better,by nearly 2 hours. I have tested and ran it for 5 days, it's all about your settings. If you have the screen on 50% one day or 65% another day it's always going to fluctuate.
Theres no complaints about the battery life with 18 here, easily I get 2 hours more. Some days 4.

The fix for Watching Amazon Prime is in a thread by, i believe it was Surviveland....
Make sure that you have UNinstalled the flash player installed in your device if you have one installed first and then install the hacked one for compatibility reason.
1) Download Dolphin Browser from the Play Store
[/B]You MUST have Dolphin Jetpack on in the settings to enjoy it.
As far as I have noticed, Dolphin Jetpack better solves the compatibility with flash player, such as crash issue & freeze issue in full screen.
2) Download the hacked flash player HERE: http://goo.gl/MuU9SU
If your device refused to install apk outside Google Play, you need to change your settings in your device (Settings> Securities> Unknown resources) to allow installation of apps from unknown sources.
3) Make sure that the flash setting in Dolphin Browser (Click Menu>Settings>Web Content>Flash Player) is on.

Skydragon or Oxyslim?

I am currently rooted and on hydrogen OS. I am not comfortable with the notifications thing or with the RAM management thing (If I close an app via recent app it closes the process completely, thus i don't get any notifications from the app). So thought of flashing a more global user friendly custom ROM. Only these two have all sensors working since they are based on Oxygen OS. Any advice would be good.

Are you kidding??? Why close apps via recent app? Not enough 4GB memory?

Hi, i can help you!
I tried the two ROM (with boeffla kernel 1.1 beta 3) and:
-if you want something with more performance and more similar to OOs flash skydragon (99000 antutu);
- -if you want something more dark with theme and something that works a little better than skydragon and OOs flash oxyslim (81000 antutu).
This is what i obtain with benchmark and my experience so feel free to flash what do you prefer! And always, good flash!

I prefer oxyslim; scored 98700 on Antutu using the lateset boeffla kernel which it comes with i believe. also seemed less buggy then skydragon and you can use the 2 extra zips from skydragon the rounded coners and s quartz with oxyslim

I have tried the two roms and after many tests i choiced Skydragon v 3.1, fast, stable and vey good battery, similar antutu scores between 95000 and 96000 but isn't really important, on Oxyslim battery drain is bigger.
Also on Skydragon we can apply dark themes from Maurydes, transparent and colors, very beautiful.

Who said you can't apply the theme elsewhere? There's no actual potential framework or SystemUI changes that could potentially at all affect themability, I moved to using the stock framework-res, just optimised in terms of images and with the replacement of the default wallpapers.

I tried the two ROM (with boeffla kernel 1.1 beta 3) and:
-if you want something with more performance and more similar to OOs flash skydragon (99000 antutu);
- -if you want something more dark with theme and something that works a little better than skydragon and OOs flash oxyslim (69000 antutu).
This is what i obtain with benchmark and my experience so feel free to flash what do you prefer! And always, good flash!

Not a single ROM on the OP2 should score as low as 69K, you probably throttled a lot during your tests, this may sound ridiculous but try making sure your phone is 100% cool before beginning to bench and bench the device after a clean boot in a freezer (crazy, I know), if you want a fair comparison, truth is you should find not so large difference, it'll very likely be pretty negligible (+- 0.5-2%).

I have tried the two roms and after many tests i choiced Skydragon v 3.1, fast, stable and vey good battery, similar antutu scores between 95000 and 96000 but isn't really important, on Oxyslim battery drain is bigger.
Also on Skydragon we can apply dark themes from Maurydes, transparent and colors, very beautiful.

Memento on battery life, worth the read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/rom-oxyslim-t3278169/post64515339#post64515339
It should basically be the same no matter whether you use a custom ROM or stock OOS, pretty much all of battery drained almost entirely depends on user config (kernel, wakelocks, apps) and users' actions.
Just randomly popped into this section of the for fun, hope I could somehow have helped.

I prefer oxyslim + Boeffla-Kernel 1.1-beta3 - Great ROM!

Who said you can't apply the theme elsewhere? There's no actual potential framework or SystemUI changes that could potentially at all affect themability, I moved to using the stock framework-res, just optimised in terms of images and with the replacement of the default wallpapers.

@sewer56lol i reflash oxyslim with boeffla and do another benchmark with the same configurazione i have in skydragon and i have just a bit improvement (81000 vs 80000 OOs stock). I like very much the oxyslim ROM but for the moment i prefer to stay with skydragon, maybe when the 2 roms recive upgrade to OOs 3.0 base i will return to oxyslim!

I got 98k last time I tested personally, though not perfectly setup for the bench, all depends on user, device binning, throttle amount and BG apps etc. :^).
Though that was a decent while ago - I'm waiting to mod MM personally too .
Some guy had 103k, most typically 95-97k.
Have fun on the Skydragon team meanwhile .

I never say that on OxySlim or Skydragon rom, Oxygen OS based, we can't apply themes, I say only that Maurydes have created specifically for rro layers some Themes.
If you try to apply a lot of themes for rro layers, many of these doesn't work or make the SistemUI black and is necessary to go in recovery and delete relative files.
For the battery drain I'm sure, I have tried the two Rom with the same apps, utilities plus xposed framework and greenify plus appopps, no custom kernels or other changes.
In Skydragon rom battery drain was better.
