I think he means the UI. I could try to build a ROM based on it if you can find me a ROM from a QVGA touchwiz device

Ya i mean the UI but i got it but where to get the widgets, is quite hard...

There is a video of touchwiz 3.0 on a Wildfire on youtube at the moment.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpE02_hR9mU&NR=1
Check it out!.

why do people do this stuff? I have honestly not seen any UI used by a phone-manufacturer, which i would call superior to launcherPro :-D

Its fun to try, but I agree. LauncherPro is true awesomeness!

Why do people want crap on their awesome phones? Sense is x100 better than touchwiz (any version) LOL

I had TouchWiz running on it, but the app drawer eats the last line of icons on every page and i don't know how to get the icons away from there. I might try to look into the apk, maybe there are settings to change.

MIUI vs Android

What is MIUI?

It's an Android user interface, much like HTC Sense is to Android or Samsung Touch Wiz is to Android and so forth.

Got it.
Thanks.
One more question;
Is it the next step in Sense evolution or just an alternative to Sense?

its like wearing a tracksuit or a suit, in the end, its still you underneath...

So Sense is a casual outfit while MIUI is a tux.
A new outfit for androids closet.
Has anyone tried it out yet?

MIUI is a look like IPhone interface but with android body.

A better question is why you posting this in here????
Please read forum titles before choosing which one to post in.

Lets keep this post. But wud be good if a mod can move to the Q&A fori.
MIUI is an iPhone look alike. The interface is fast and smooth. But i reflashed into another. Not cos i dont like the ROM or the Chef. But IMHO i ****ing dont like the iPhone interface. When you look at iPhone what you see is tons of icons which you cant move here and there to create a cool homescreen.
Just in case, if i have hurt any iFans. Lemme say the iPhone 4 is a real killer. But when it comes to my HD2, its the huntee. Equipped with Android....iPhone 4 shud be afraid...very very afraid.

You have to follow the rule, this is not the place to ask this question.
Google it before you post, you can easily find the MIUI website and you will get all you need to know about MIUI from there...

MIUI is more like a homebrew UI rather than a corporate product. It isn't really an alternative to Sense in that it's not a launcher you can install on a Sense-based ROM or any other ROM like you can with alternative launchers. MIUI generally comes cooked into Android ROMs. And it is almost identical to iOS. It would be more accurate to consider MIUI an iOS with widgets.

Fair enough question which was answered efficiently, could a Mod please move this thread to Q&A, it's useful for others with the same question.

MIUI
hey guys, i still didn't find a answer to my question: does have any advantage on speed or something like that by use MIUI rom replacing the original android?
Thanks every one

Same **** different package

Nokia 6 UI/Skin

NOKIA 6
So, now that Nokia is officially returned to the market with Nokia 6.
What are your expectations on the software front?
Looking at the pictures feels like some custom UI is there
The phone to me looks great,
UI is the question whether it'll run something specific for china only models and different for rest of the world or same
How close it'll be to stock android with useful features.
Personally, I like the OnePlus take on stock android
Share your thoughts, wishlist, hopes, etc
If you have any video or photos do post on here
P.S :- The phone is exclusive to China only for now at least

First Ever reply on Nokia thread on XDA.lol.
The ui is good no prob with me.

ahh ~I hope that i can see the quick settings and notification bar

Well, I'm happy to be the third to reply

CM14??

I've seen a few videos and in one of them saw the quick settings and notification bar..
One swipe
4 quick toggles (bigger in size than pixel and have name below the toggles)
guessing maybe they can be swipe from right to left for more
Second swipe
Reveals all the toggles
4 icons per row (colour scheme same as stock Android)

You can have anything you want on the kernel version
Just change the hostname and username of the build host
the kernel version looks like [email protected]

Go till the very end, you'll see it..
Last time I watched other video it was stock android green this time it's black.
Theme support maybe.

Nokia 6 preview:

well, i'll guess they using the same ui from lenovo, huawei or mi. but, since it is cyanogenmod so i'll guess it is another ui port from another custom rom or something oem specific..

No it's not CyanogenMod as I've read online and it's not like Huawei or mi or lenevo,
The UI is quite close to stock android except for the lack of appdrawer and also no bloatware

chinese phones didn't have bloatwares, except, if they wish to add it. i have a clone iphone and it has no bloatware included. really luckier than my clone galaxy note 2 that has antutu benchmark included.

ios

hi

I've not seen this before, i'd find it highly unlikely that it'll be done on this device, be nice to see it but i can't see it happening.

You can search on youtube or here is link which i saw. Later i searched for more video's and found many such video's.

It's just a custom rom that pretends to be iOS, this is what used in fake iPhones as well, they run android with a custom launcher.

Doubt this is real. How could a foreign os run on the android hardware systems? Theyre a completely different architecture. Quite convenient hes in a dark room every time

I think this video is fake... If you look better the indian guy is flashing this https://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/development/rom-ios-micromax-canvas-a311-t3383301 on a xiaomi redmi..
Btw, if you want the iOS look there are lot of launcher, locker, notifications bar etc around the play store :good:
EDIT: and if you go to look further you can see that is always android but with iOS like apps and the launcher is iLauncher that you can easy find on google search

Heavily themed Android ROM. Nothing more nothing less.
You're going to need to get yourself an iPhone if you crave iOS.

I do too, but pretty much every stock or custom ROM available for Android devices is going to be better than iOS, at least in my opinion. If you want iOS, you may as well just get an iPhone!

Lolzzzzz if i can effort to buy also i won't buy iPhone. As i said i like to use different rom. Now a day's all custom rom look are same just some tweaks and options change rest all same. No harsh feeling but i like to try different looks ROMs too. That's why i ask for this rom. Before there use to be port of rom from different devices.
As a user i shared my point, am not a developer.
Thanks for the response everyone.

I'm sorry, but if you like IOS so much, why have you bought an Android device?

Even though you feel all ROMs are generally the same, Android is still a lot more customizable than iOS. As other users have said, you can find a custom launcher/icon pack/etc. to make your device look like an iOS one. Try making an iPhone look like an Android.
Not trying to sway your opinion one way or the other, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of options for the type of thing you want. You can either theme/customize your Android device to look like iOS, or just get an iOS device.

It's a fake... it's purely impossible, it's not the same architecture, framework, components.
If you want iOS, boy a iPhone

Y everyone saying to buy iPhone i just ask i saw a video and does it true, is it possible. Thanks for the response.

Sorry to dash your dreams OP - iOS is restricted strictly to Apple devices, I wouldn't be surprised if someone attempted to get it on another phone that wasn't an iPhone, but failed repeatedly.

Easy.. just buy an Oppo phone. It's an iPhone clone. Even the Android OS looks like iOS.

Better UI Settings?

Ive seen other open source UIs like the current one that we have in the G7 pie and was wondering if there are any open source ones that have more options to it. Mainly right now I am just looking for a better way to organize things (folder in the app drawer) and some other few minor things. I would be nice to get rid of some of the excess bloat with a custom ui too, again if possible.

there are no custom roms except project treble which is too buggy for every day usage. all I can recommend is edxposed with gravitybox. you will need to be rooted and install TWRP first.

no TouchWiz was Samsung's old UI. Motorola uses basically stock Android.
