Alright after a week of testing. Heres the rundown.
Stock Features you will miss:
Enhanced Contacts.
Motion Gestures.
HW Accelerated Browser
The Cam. MIUI isnt as good.
Battery life.
MIUI features you will miss if you're hooked:
Firewall
Guard
App lock
Themes
UI. duh.
Elegance.
Overall verdict is wait a bit. MIUI can be better. The MIUI contacts isnt good either.
Oh and Stock Cam vs MIUI Cam.. whats better?
Use skifta instead of allshare and wi fi file explorer instead of kies.
Tw camera is better.

Thanks. Got Swype Beta working. Gotta check out TW Cam.
I think he meant touch wizard in TW camera. I would like this camera the hw accerated browser and tv out support in a miui hybrid rom.

There has to be some Pros and Cons in AOSP ROMs over Stock ROMs. Customisations, speedy UI etc are better but on the other hand there are some simple yet impotent things aren't available or buggy! Why would one buy Samsung on first place and then suddenly they want to get rid of Samsung junk? A little bit of iOS, little bit of Android, I hate it anyway.
I have frozen literally everything all the Samsung bloatware that can be frozen, i think ive used Kies like once, it's a crock of sh*t anyway buggy as hell, allshare is a serious battery drainer too, why do people still use this rubbish then complain about serious battery drainage?
I love all MIUI stuff but I dislike the battery draining, camera is not good and video playback is so poor 'cause Hw aceleration is not working... Ignoring that, I prefer a lot this even over the perfect stock rom, 'cause I can personalize everything.
I've had a look and play with miui and cm7 nightly #99 lately.
Still like Samsung's roms better. To me they just seem more polished. Camera, calendar, etc, add jkay mods in there too.
Also find music sounds better for me on Samsung roms. That surprised me.
I pick cm7 over miui by a mile.
I must be missing something about miui because i didnt see anything to make me use it over Samsung or cm7.

Miui UI is better than stock...
Gotto wait until Miui rom fully functional only can compare i believe.

I've tried CM7 and it's pretty nice especially with all of the themes and it is incredibly fast, however I love TouchWiz! Good Widgets, great camera app, smoothest launcher (IMO), and of course the best browser on any Android device.

About this, in MIUI you just have to press volume down+menu. Pretty easy IMO...
About everything else im with you, but let me add one more con about MIUI: Call recording doenst work. Not the stock app but neither "CallRecorder" app.
Since this is an important feature for me, I hope they manage to fixed it because I really like MIUI.
Every now and then, i fill that urge to try MIUI or Cyanogen, and after a day or two, i am back to Samsung ROMs ...
1.I've been modifying my framework and TW launcher since my i9000 and i have made my personal setup from it
2.Video codecs support, although recently i've found Dice player who looks extremely capable, even more than the default one
3.The small little things, like brightness swipe on status bar, call and message swipe on contacts and some others that doesn't come to mind right now
4.Like someone else stated, i also like the cohesion of the stock ROM
There are some things that always bothered me that Samsung doesn't implement in it's ROMs like percentage battery and BLN. I mean, those are are easy to do, add functionality and they blend well with stock ..., but luckily, this is Android and we can do it ourselves .

Now that MIUI have officially launched the S2 ROM. I tried it. I used to use the Litening ROM. So far there have been PROS and CONS. Some neat features that I love that I dont wanna go back. But there are some minor things which I can't live without either.
I will be updating this thread with Pro and Cons with you guys support.
Stock ROM features I miss:
The Motion Gestures. In Gallery and on Launcher. I think that was TouchWiz 4.0... right?
Kies and AllShare. I would love to have those two. SGS2 is the only Android device out there with DLNA support and would be a shame to cut it out. --There are alternatives. WifiFile Explorer. And Upnplay.
The easy screenshots like iOS.
Swype support. I sideloaded Swype but looks like I cant switch themes. And the Official Swype installer on MIUI says the resolution isn't supported. Weird. -- It works.
The Camera App. For some weird reason I think the MIUI Cam has flaws. -- Still looking for an alternative. Gonna checkout TW Camera.
And this may be stupid but MIUI doesnt show H+ icons. Just H. (Network icon) -- Think themes can fix this.
MIUI Features I love:
The torch. Pretty neat, you can use it by pressing the Home Button.
The UI and themes. Obvious
The Music App Lyrics
You can lock specific apps. And even hide them.
The Guard feature. Now I can give my phone to anyone w/o worrying bout them snooping.
Status: Back to Stock. MIUI has Battery drain issues.

There are alot of devices come with DLNA. Atrix for example.

and the only thing stock vs Miui i care is the internet browser in stock rom that comes with hardware accelerated. And also the long press edit for search is imssing in MIUI.
What I can't live without is the to out support via MHL missing from all aosp roms.

I am with you there. I am back to stock as well and am working on modifying the framework.
Thought it would be a good idea to make a (reasonable) list of things to ask of SE for their Ice Cream Sandwich update they are prepping for the Xperia Play.
I'll start;
3.0 kernel (I swear, if we are still on 2.6.32... )
Dedicated recovery partition - Standard feature
Make /data partition bigger - This is a gaming phone after all
CRT animation for screen off/on selectable in Display options
Ability to take pictures with the L/R button
R button brings up camera when on homescreen
Digital Zoom in camera
Improved Theme Support
Widget size changes
Market Link in app drawer like in stock ics
Official Notification bar toggles
Full PSN integration
Internet Passtrough
PS3 Remoteplay
Xloud boost for Speakers (not earphones/headsets)
Better camera app
Kernel open for OC if rooted (allow up to 1.4GHz frequency)
A Basic File Manager app
Reboot option in the power menu.
Bravia Engine
Nicer then default ICS homescreen
Uninstallable games
Better battery life
Updated Qualcomm GPU Drivers to improve graphics performance.
The 3.0 kernel doesn't have enormous differences with 2.6.35, the version number was bumped to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of LinUx.

I know that (its also moving towards the trend of higher version numbers started by Chrome), but even so it would be 2.3.42 (ish) if not for the change, so we are still 20 months behind, which is quite crap at this stage. A kernel update would go a long way towards improving performence.
I think Xperia team should ADD a ZOOM to the CAMERA -__-
I can't emagine a phone with a camera but no zoom

Why do you want digital zoom, it makes the pictures look even worse because all it does is crop the pic.

And everyone asking for zoom its going to come, Xperia play uses stock android camera and the camera is updated in ics which means we will get the new ics camera.

Old folders-these 2.3.4 are so ugly
Xloud boost, can come with a warning, eg. Max volume can sometimes damage your speakers...
Kernel open for OC-I don't think that is possible, but I dont know why...Maybe if they made it like that only if you did something trought recovery, maybe like OC-off?

People of the X10
Me and a few other people are looking to make an easy yet enjoyable android experience.
Now as everyone knows Android is a vast and powerful operating system giving you control over almost every aspect of the OS, and the X10 is a brilliant device to run it on.
So i ask you people, what might you like in a ROM? where currently aiming at music based ROM, with a social interaction aspect also.
So please feel free to pitch ideas in, any idea you may think of. (Within the reaches of android and the phone its self)
Hope to hear from you all soon!
Hmm a music + social oriented
Sounds good to me
Is it going to be a stock based Rom or MIUI based??
Whatever the case how about adding a little eye candy to it
For eg the 1.6 lockscreen

Wolfbreak based using his FreeKernel ROM and maybe ulbl ROM later depending on how it all works, and tried the 1.6 lockscreen its ok but its a bit weak on the ROM, thinking of GoLocker for it

I think the wolfbreak's as base is good idea
Recently beats audio has been ported, u could use it u know since the Rom could be a music oriented one
And thanks for trying the 1.6 lockscreen but don't u think rather than using an app it would be better to use a stock lockscreen??
.
Or u could use a lockscreen like ics style
Example would be like the one in dark edition hd Rom

By the way I'm on locked boatloader so if u'r making for unlocked ones then I'm out of luck

My number one wish that might never come true: the ability to use the Xperia arc camera app on the x10. There, I said it! Yes, I'm crazy... Would be awesome though...
Essentially I would love to see a photography oriented Rom. I remember seeing an older 2.1 based room for the x10. The dev was improving the functionality of the camera, though I'mnot sure how... If I find the thread link, I'll post it here!

I think make a ROM rock stable, good battery life.
...Would love something with an awesome music player with equaliser, good camera,
####would also love the auto restore app via goofle as soon as you flash the Rom, so that we don't have to install apps one by One,
.. for lockscreen why don't you guys check out Metro UI LOCKSCREEN FROM GO LAUNCHER, its amazing and good shortcut to get through to diff apps.
### Would love battery percentage than stock battery icon. Status bar icon to go green or blue when connected..
### for drop down menu bar you guys can write your initials as your TM
### also if possible get us the option to kill task by pressing back key.. We then don't have to get ąn auto killer app
Hope you like the suggestions...

1 where using Wolfbreaks ROM, as far as i know only one bug which has been fixed already with bravia install, il check that auto-reinstall app also for you and see what i can do, where going to use a galaxy Nexus theme, but il UOT a battery clock and maybe include T.E.A.Ms battery bar, am not sure about the status bar, il look into that tho Lockscreen is Go EX as standard, ive been testing this over the last few days, so just install it also, you back to press cant be done on this build type, cyanogenmod has that method, but its never been done on here
Hope that answers your questions people! and thanks for the ideas!

Hey pal I'm liking where you're heading
Just two requests
.
In the video u said that u want the Rom to be as close to galaxy nexus
I appreciate that but please try and keep the camera as it is
.
And I don't know if it's possible but can we control the music player from the lockscreen??
I mean can u add a music controller to the lockscreen??
Example would be like achtojans semc debrand engine Rom
.
Other than liking where this Rom is heading

I understand what you mean with the music lock screen been looking at it my self, at the moment im unsure if GO Locker supports it, if not il see if one can be made with this we did have a request for the Arcs camera, which i presume is same as X10 Camera, if not we shall put up a file with the stock.

i have been recently thinking about am actual CM version but i want to get wolfbreaks sorted out, started hitting problems with apps and other things :\
Hello, I write to you all Arc owners because you have to know the truth!
With the last ics (and also gingerbread some apps) the phone is really slow opening simple apps like the gallery, the telephone dialer, and more things you perfectly know. The incredible comes now! I installed the xperia S ics apps, launcher etc, and incredibly all works like a charm. The gallery is incredibly fast, the telephone dialer opens very quickly, the launcher don´t have lag etc....
This is a Sony strategy to make us think that the arc is outdated and buy a new phone.....it´s a shame! Sony do the things right with 2011 xperias!!!!!!!!!!
we will need more feed back on this! cause its really getting very annoying to wait every time you want to dial a number!
for me it takes around 3 days after a restart when the dialer starts to lag..so i used to restart the phone every 3-4 days to make everything smooth again ..anyways xperia s ICS apps looks promising
Strange, my phone became slower once I installed the Xperia S ICS apps. Especially the dialer.
can i have the post from where to install the apps for Xperia S.
and a tutorial will also be appreciated !

I've have rooted my arc and i've deleted all the bloatware but it was still laggy.. now it's like ice on water.. so f**cking smooth.. try it and you wont regret it.
the album gallery, phone apps, contact apps and messaging apps is just great.
It is true, the Xperia S ICS launcher makes it much smoother now on old lovely Arc (LT15i), so I recommend everyone to try it. It is not just wishful thinking it really makes a difference. :good::good:
But I have a bug when I receive a call, the screen goes black for 3 seconds before I can answer the call, but I dont know why yet (Stock .431 firmware with Trinity kernel and Xperia S ICS launcher). :crying:
Letter to sonymobile:
I´m an angry Xperia Arc user. Like other users i have been here giving feedback, requesting new things, but i see nothing..........xperia arc is laggy, slow, have and old kernel, etc. What happen with the galery? It´s pathetically slow, and the same for the music player when it have to load the covers, the launcher is not fluid and not to talk about the ics telephone dialer.
What makes me laugh is that yesterday I install in my arc the xperia s ICS apps, and what surprise! the gallery works super fast, launcher with no lag, walkman with equializer, mega bass, more and beautiful widgets, the phone dialer opens instantly and many other features.
Sony this is the promise of been updated 18 months? What Xperia arc users have done to deserve this?
Why the xperia S software works better on a 2011 telephone? Very bad sony!
Why don´t you install the new software in the 2011 phones by default, you have it already created!!! But no, you have to give us very bad optimized software, yes I understand this is an strategy to make us buying a new phone....this is the time to take note sony! Give us what whe want.
Would love to see reply from Sony!

Sony is playing their cards really well.making us believe that our ARC \ S is outdated & our hardware cannot handle ICS.The Xperia S ICS apps work really fast & with efficiency on our ARC \ S.Lets say for example Sony's latest models Xperia Miro , Tipo.these handsets r running 800mhz processor & Adreno 200.& to think these r getting the ICS out of the box.how is that possible ??? & seeing this i think the X10 community will be in a RIOT(i just moved from X10).
Our Handsets r more than capable of running ICS.
Sony disappointed me for sure.I think they did not even put in decent effort to build ICS for Xperia 2011 line up.they want us to think our phones r outdated & want us to buy their new "SONY" branded handsets..
Shame on u SONY !!!
Marketing strategy dude!! the dirty strategy!

Can someone please tell me if the camera can shoot repeated shots now with ICS?
And also, is this build stable? Cause i've seen some people saying that the phone lags with ICS.

No it does not shoot repeated shots, buy you can download the app called fast burst camera lite from the market that does. Also if you flash Arconium 4.0 and Trinity kernel V1.6, then flash the Xperia S apps you will have a nice fast and stable ICS.

it's a marketing strategy
if all 2011 xperia phones get the same software as those 2012 xperia phones
then there will be no selling points for those 2012 xperia phones
marketing is not just only about giving what customer wants, but also making customer wants.
but now it seems that sony just p*** us off by just porting some of the xperia S apps on gingerbread to ICS without optimizing them (while those news phones have new apps, e.g. dialer, walkman), some stock apps remains the same except a polished icon (like the stock alarm, music player, etc) i bet the xperia S apps on ICS are optimized for ICS
it's not the first time that sony p*** users off, everything marketing campaign (all early birds receive almost no promotional offer), releasing arc S at the same price of arc ~6 months after arc was released. sony makes beautiful phone but doesn't do beautiful marketing
I know there are some people afraid of flashing 5.0 for now for reasons like losing unlock or root, but I don't need that so I flashed 5.0.
Here is a video I made. Quick look of the 5.0 interface.
UI is very fast and stable. No force closes so far. I think battery life is better but I tested it only for 1 day.
I also wanted to show you Battery Saver which has been through big change (good change IMO), but I couldn't since phone was plugged in.
I accidentally forgot to show you Recents and lockscreen, dont get mad please :angel:
Thanks for sharing but i have to be honest here
This is the moat useless video ive seen !!!! U seriously didnt ahow anything!!!
I can see calender widget got a material design... Did the app itself has a material design as well ??? So for the rest of the system applications ? Sms tasks phone etc
Anything got changed media wise ? Gallery video camera music ?
Cmon dude ... Show is the good stuff not the settings menu over and over again

The reason that nobody (including me) show anything else than this is because everything remained the same. There is no point in showing you what you already got on 4.4 roms. Isnt it? Icons at homescreen and month calendar widget are apps from Play Store. All LG's apps mostly remained the same.
There isnt much new magic in Lollipop dude just some visual changes and of course
ART
New Recents
New Notification Bar
Lockscreen Notifications
Really cool animations
I think the best 5.0 changes are the 2000 new APIs we will see some magic in the future you will see bro
Android just got even more awesome with Lollipop
I have a G3 too and I wanted to know if i flash this "test build" can I still get the automatic update from LG when the official will come out ? thanks
