neat, is this RC4, I assume? Also, most people like screen shots even though often it doesn't show much.
congrats on the ROM.
Does it have a built in kernel?
gah. why does everyone assume its cm. this is not at all built from cm. its build from my own source.
it looks like gb, nothing special to see, but im working on screens now
nice im going to try this out is this using sense?

Looks good.. I'll give it a shot!!!
Btw, this is the pure gingerbread rom that tazz was talking about on his thread the other day
Very nice.. responsive.. going to OC to try and squeeze all I can out of this dated machine but it's good!!
Anyone flash this after using gsb? Any notable speed/performance gains? I'm definately interested in a minimal, fast, lightweight rom just like this, it's just what an older phone like our eris needs.
wow!! great looking rom!!
is there any way you can add the option to choose affiliated network?
Thanks r2DoesInc - this will be fun to play with!

Nothing I would call HUGE improvements but some.. a few things are a little more responsive but for the most part GSB is pretty slim as well .. It's a solid rom.. job well done!!
I've never been too fond on the CM based roms just because I feel like there are too many options for me so when I saw this rom I knew I had to flash it since i've been waiting for a 2.3 pure android. Currently on 2.1 pure vanilla and love it. This rom is pretty awesome. One thing I did notice though was the touch buttons on the bottom of the screen seen don't seem to light up when they are supposed to. Sometimes in low light conditions they will and sometimes they won't. That is my only "complaint" which isn't that big of a deal. Again, real nice work.
Will give this a shot in the morning. Been looking for a non-CM as well....Thanks!
Flashing later tonight.
Love the ROM but wonder what C2C options there are since I have some fairly large apps.
Allow me to get this out of the way....
Derrrr, Duz this have flash!??!?//?
Liking this rom!

Do you prefer CyanogenMod or MIUI based on the current versions available to the fascinate, and why?
CM7 because of the Theme Chooser. There are at least 200+ themes and you can find more in Android Theme forum.
MIUI has cool lockscreen tho...
MIUI becausr online theme AND editing. I dont have to download a whole theme and flash to change on little thing. If a theme has a messaging app theme i like i can apply it easily with no reboots or flashing. even bootscreens. Also full system backup and restore built in.. When i tried cm7 the theme chooser only showed like 4 themes and there where all a bit too vanilla for me. MIUI lets me fel more like its my ui

This +1, the theming engine is garbage on cm7 compared to MIUI. Both are ridiculously smooth with way better performance over touchwiz-based roms but MIUI is a whole different beast. MIUI not only offers the performance of cm7 but also adds more features and way better looks. Miui is like a whole different os compared to any other rom on android. But in the end I suggest you try both and decide which you like better yourself.
Ive tried both and I am still on the edge I love both of them MIUI is unique unto itself the launcher is smooth and very clean. CM7 gives you that clean raw android look but i am leaning on going back to MIUI because of the theme engine. True it does take some getting used to but once you are going you are going.
Another factor, depending on how flash-happy you are, cm7 is currently getting more spontaneous development because jt releases fixes & updates as they occur, not just once a week. Although andmer is very responsive as well, the changes only seem to be incorporated in the general build on a weekly basis.

Actually.... We recieved a patch for the sensors last build from andmer and 2 this week for in call and ril update. We are usually only a day behind jt's releases. The weekly update is the miui framework updates themselves

Question, can you just flash MIUI over CM7 with "only" wiping dalvik cache? What about CM7 over MIUI?
I flashed MIUI directly over CM7 and it worked fine, make sure to wipe your cache and make backups because if you have problems then a full data wipe is the easiest fix.
In response to OP, you won't be disappointed with either one. They are both very smooth and have great battery life. Kernel works the same for both so either way you get voodoo sound and overclock and everything else if you use OTB. The only differences are mainly in the UI, CM is more vanilla android and most themes just recolor things. With theming CM7 you usually get just different colors and slightly different look to the phone but usually more things will be themed. With MIUI right now you can theme a whole lot more and customize your own theme by theming individual items, which is really cool but there are a lot of UI elements that currently don't change no matter what theme you use.
I bought an Android phone because I love the Android OS, and CM7 -- while it isn't pure AOSP -- is pretty darn close to Google's vision.
MIUI, on the other hand, while an amazing ROM in its own right, makes Android, well, less Android-y (and dare I say, more iOSy). That's not what I personally want for my Android phone. I like vanilla Gingerbread.
That hurts man.....that hurts.....

MIUI intentionally borrows a large number of design elements from iOS, so it's not insulting to point that out when the developers did it on purpose. That's also not a bad thing. What MIUI does is, in short, combine the best of iOS with the best of Android, and that's precisely why it's so successful. Like it or not, iOS is aesthetically very well designed, and Android has lagged behind in that regard. It wasn't until Gingerbread that Android even had a truly unified aesthetic.

While that is 100% true, I think the fact the Miui adds onto the "raw" CM7 build means that it makes it less like iOS as it's giving you more options in where iOS tries to limit you as much as possible. But that's the way I see it

Why don't we just say its CM7 and iOS combined and move along? Gives you the freedom of Android with the look of iOS.
Case closed.

Everything you said is completely true; however, the reason I love MIUI is it's theming engine which is easily MIUI's biggest strength for anybody that likes to customize their phone. MIUI's theming engine is absolutely amazing. Also, I personally do not like the MIUI launcher due to it looking too much like iOS's launcher so I don't use it lol. This is what my homescreen and lockscreen currently look like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15325743&postcount=201 which could never have been easily done without being on MIUI. In the end though, to each his own.

I agree about the Launcher, I personally use Launcher pro Plus and that thing just flies with Miui.
i also think miui is too i os ish for me, didnt like it much, but could def see why ppl would, very snappy and user friendly
I personally prefer Cyanogenmod 7 over MIUI, but that's because I really like Gingerbread's UI and also because I'm a huge supporter of open source software, and the fact that MIUI won't release their source bugs me because if something is broken I can't go in and try to fix it...
I'm a big linux fanatic though.
I have been looking at so many miui ROM
And people are miui crazy
Is there any reason why miui is so good ?
If I find it promising
I might consider working on it ...

I think some people just prefer the look and feel of miui compared to other roms. I used to use Trip's miui froyo until gingerbread came out.
The UI is very nice, like for example when answering a phone call it looks way better than in any other rom, but i prefer rom's with menu's more since MIUI doesn't

not much
other than
its lookin too iphonish
MIUI-
no menu like default ROMS- menu is like iphone
awesome features,like a country name is flashed when someone calls u
the drag down noticifaction menu has all the shortcuts ,so no widgets
faster than default roms
awesome themes with really nice lock screens
music controls on lock screen
MIUI cam is good
now one will say we can have all these in stock roms with apps but why to install app when everything is by default in MIUI
now if you are starting to make a MIUi rom then put this and it will be best rom ever
MIUI Interface with option launchers like SE stock launcher
MOST IMPORTANT- SE DEFAULT CAM and not MIUI Cam
Cyanogen mod settings
Trip is already working on a rom with features from all other ROMS to make a super rom..but in XDA we have nothing sort of that...so lets starts a poll what we need and a dev can start on that ROM
Somewhere between getting stuck when coming back from an app and annoying keyboard issues within the messenger combined with the EOL status...
So what are the options people? I'm currently playing with Go Launcher and a Sense 4.0 theme, which oddly feels faster while being more customizable. I didn't care for the default Go Launcher theme it rubbed me wrong, probably the only part of Sense I still like is the icons and presentation of apps. Thinking about going to a rooted stock with custom kernel or a custom rom with custom kernel. I don't know, really confused right now

Love the hardware, not loving the software.
My personal favorite launcher is GoLauncher over Sense. Both Supreme Sense XII and newSENSE are great ROMs but I know what you mean. Here's what I did recently on Supreme Sense XII.

Well the Software is actually what gives you the Freedom to do whatever you want. It all depends on the combination of Rom, Kernel, and Mods you choose. Here are just a few Themes and Skins I've Ported, or helped with .
Wow Prboy1969 those are prety awesome! Is it possible to get the dock in the first pic on Sense 3.5 or 3.0?

I lost my appreciation for sense as soon as I rooted and dove into CM7.
It came back a little bit for sense 4.0, but meh.
I thought I loved sense until I tried AOSP roms lol

i liked some of the features in sense but sense overall just plain sucks and especially with the reloads everytime you go back to the homescreen.
recently ive been addicted to the ice cream sandwich builds coming out (AOKP has been running the best so far for me, with a few minor bugs like calls not coming through (but thats what texting is for LOL))

That's why we have choices. So everyone can be happy . Myself I'm a Sense kinda guy, cause it only makes Sense :cyclops: . But that being said, I've come across quite a few very good non-Sense Roms.
The email, messaging, and people apps are what mainly keep me on Sense. The way I use them only works in Sense. If the AOSP versions worked similarly I'd likely be useing something else. They're a lot easier to port.
Sense seems fairly bloated to me. I love how native Android ICS and JB have evolved and become more smooth and streamlined. I recommend checking out the ICS custom ROMs on this board (I'm on kushdeck's pb21 build still). I would like to try out preludedrew's new Evervolv JB ROM, but I get stuck in a boot loop after installing it

That is kind of where I think I was going before trying another modded out ROM. Think I just want to try vanilla with a fancy kernel. Some things that I know I like and would like to keep, WiMax (even though I rarely use it, no use paying for it if I can't use it), Keyboard lights as I work a night shift I inevitably have to hit up the phone and keyboard at night and the elusive landscape mode. Think I might be stuck on gingerbread because of this but I'm gonna look around.
Is App2sd a kernel level function or does the UI need to recognize it too?

Teetering on the brink of slapping together his own ROM?

A2SD has to do with the Kernel, as it determines the Ext. But it also usually has to baked into the Rom. Then enabled after you flash. But you can use DarkTremors A2SD Script to add and enable it on most Roms that it's not baked into.
About your Sig. I say go for it.

What's the most stable AOSP Jellybean ROM for the i9300?
I'm currently using ReVolt, but the Camera is laggy. I've used SuperNexus, but it doesn't have the Theme Chooser feature.
I need;
Something FAST
Good stable camera (photo + HD video)
Theme Chooser
ROM for DAILY use.
Thanks,
Taj
What you're demanding isn't and will never be possible on the i9300. Get yourself a Nexus.
Either that, or do what most of us do, learn to live with touchwiz. In the end, you care less and less.
Which one of my needs is demanding the most?
Are the Touchwiz ROMs the most stablel ROMs?

A stable camera is by far your most demanding point. The current aosp roms for our phone are fast, good enough for daily use (well, this is a personal preference) and CM roms have the theme chooser. BUT, neither have or will ever have a stable camera that takes perfect photos or record super-crisp videos.
I see... Thank you for pointing that out.
