MIUI for EVO... SPEECHLESS! UPDATE: TIPS ADDED!

Folks, I just installed MIUI 0.1.14-RC2.5 and I am totally SPEECHLESS! It feels like a totally different phone! It doesn't even look like a typical Android phone anymore. Yes, it gives the phone an iPhonish feel, but it's amazing indeed. If you have been thinking about giving it a shot, NANDROID and give it a try!
http://miui-dev.com/forums/showthread.php?2053-UPDATE-New-Official-Release-Thread-0.1.14
UPDATE: Just wanted to add and compile a list of the little things that make this ROM great and UNIQUE. If you have any tip or things you have discovered, just post them in this thread and I will update the OP.
1. Built-in screenshot feature. Simply press volume down + menu, and you will be able to save a screenshot if your current display.
2. When making a call, you can RECORD the conversation. Once the number is dialed, simply click CALL TOOLS | REC and the call will be recorded and saved as an audio .amr file to your sdcard.

That's exactly how I felt when I first flashed it. Heck that's how I still feel after running it for close to 3 months. It's amazing.

Dude, I am in awe as to how flexible Android OS is. It's just amazing. I just finished flashing RC2.5 where they fixed the MMS issue. I think RC3 will be released tonight.
The ROM looks so professional and fluidly smooth. I don't even have to install Launcher Pro on it nor ChompSMS.

hows the battery life?

My opinions of course:
Sense ROMs - Myns, Fresh
AOSP ROMs - CM of course and MIUI (is MIUI considered an AOSP ROM?)
Kernels - Any that has SBC integrated

I'm actually running LauncherPro on top of it, and it is even smoother. Have you had a chance to check out any themes yet? I recommend the Darkness theme, it's pretty awesome.

I ran MIUI for a while, not sure if much has changed on it but it was pretty nice. Looks, functionality, and smoothness was awesome. Battery life was in between CM and Sense based rom. who knows with newer kernels and builds but thats how it went for me about two months ago

Yeah I don't know what battery life is like on Sense ROMs anymore but I always have 55-65% left every morning when I swap out batteries. If I forget to swap the battery I still make it through the second day no problem. I'm using these batteries though, and they do last a bit longer than stock.

The look is the least of the MIUI rom. The theme manager makes it very very easy to change the look of the UI.
I've been on this rom since the beginning. It has (had?) features before many Sense roms. One reason I kept going back is the controls in the pull-down screen. Then there's the file manager (ok, right now it doesn't work but 1.1.14 may fix it), the camera, the lock screen. I also like having folders to organize my apps.
I'm hoping that the Wimax on CM means MIUI can also get Wimax. It would be nice to have 4G.

How can I check it out? I'm still learning how to navigate around MIUI.

i feel like trying it, which version should i try? lol only things that dont work is 4g and hdmi?

LED's fully functional with Wimax LED Notification
version 1.1.7
Does this mean 4g is working on this version?

For those wanting to try it, official release thread here: http://miui-dev.com/forums/showthread.php?2053-New-Official-Release-Thread-1.1.7
The story with this ROM is that it is not developed for the EVO. It's officially made the for the Nexus One (I think), and we have a generous team of devs to port it over to the Evo each time the official devs release a new version (every seven days or so). Also the ROM is developed in Chinese so there's a lot of translation work to do.
1.14 was just released so those wanting to try out MIUI might want to wait a day or two for the Evo port to drop. If not, 1.7 is working great

New ICS ROM users, please post RAM usage screenshots!!!

which is the least memory consuming? Can anyone who has flashed a ICS ROM post a Screenshot of their mem currently used in Settings? Or with any app...
Of course post the ROM you are currently running as well.
Also what you feel are the PROs and CONs of your chosen ICS ROM.
Any other information you feel is relivant is welcomed.
Thanks button please if you enjoy this thread.

Me too +1 here, its super fast, faster than ipad2 , and has whole lot of fun features now hope to see a stable version to play all the games

Here's mine just as a point of comparison. I'm running Thor's v96.

I have the face lock settings. But i am NOT using it. I set it up the flashed the acer ring. I like the lock screen ring over the face lock.. I hardly ever lock my tablet. I Think for the most part ics is great. the browsers are much lacking CHROME Will often end up dead at a black screen with more then a few tabs open with text tearing. Stock browers has artifacts and some tearing with the same text issues as chrome.. I think the issue is that acer does not have hardware acceleration tweaked correctly. if at all for applications. it seems the browsers are lagging not the os. as in the past it seemed to me it was android.

Hey Erica, I swear that I remember reading somewhere that Chrome and ICS are not the best of friends. Google is working on making their browser more ICS friendly but it's not there yet.

You are both correct. it only works. WELL KINDA WORKS.. do not get me wrong ITS MAD FAST Compared to stock honeycomb browser. But for me it seems to give me a black screen just at the MOST WRONG TIME EVER. GRRRRRRR. yes frustrating. The stock browser in my opinion is more stable then chrome.but this is from 2-3 days using ICS. it could change.
Thanks guys.

Good words for the thread! I am aware of Androids operating techniques. I am looking for the rom that from boot runs on the least ram. With no apps going except required apps. Thus leaving more RAM for all of your other desires We are well aware(most) that we have a dual core tegra 2 tab with limitations since tegra 3 is about to drop into stores everywhere... we still have a powerful device and anyway I can free up some space from the start, I will take I like minimalist roms... as well as fully loaded. ICS is proving to be troublesome for random people and I want to be one of the ones that says, "Oh... no SOD here. Just smooooooth butter."

This is totally true . The screen shot i provided was Right after flashing the rom NO Email accounts set up. or nothing.
Android Os lets things sit in memory but sorta static it shows them taking up valuable ram.This allows them to use less cpu cycles to wake up PREVENTING Ram and cpu spikes. Thus using less resources and battery consumption. Yes i nknow techie guys this is not totally exact explanation but its a quick and easy one.With the basic concept.
I will add the above is the reason why task managers that Auto kill aggressively will fight with the android built in memory management. Thou they are good for trouble shooting apps that are rogue.
Sorry if this turned off topic just my screen shot being a fresh install was not totally accurate now im averaging 301 to 320s and it looks to be the average .

Interesting knowledge.

I'm probably not alone in watching this thread with interest...I'm looking forward to ICS, while admittedly happy with 3.2.1. I'm looking less at memory use than I am at stability; since moving to the almost-stock-yet-rooted Honeycomb, I've had close to zero problems I didn't create for myself.
For me, changing ROMs (I often wonder how the OS image got the nickname ROM, which means read-only and implies flashing to EEPROM to old guys like me) is something of a PITA, since there's much about stock Android I rip out by the roots (including Market, BTW, so everything on my tablet is sideloaded), which makes me want to do it once and get to the most stable. So for those of you brave enough to leap into ICS before us, keep posting those reports!

250MB used
I'm on stock ICS AV041_A500_019

I currently am running Icylicious 4.0.3, works awesome. Really a lot faster then before, I was starting to get frustrated with the lag in between pages... but it's better now! Love the rom, nothing's really wrong with it. Fixed dhcp drop as well as a weird problem I was having with my headphone jack when I'd plug my headphones in (had honeyvillain kernel before.) But yeah works great now! No face-unlock that I could find, but didn't really want it anyway.
Here's mine.

• As usual good phone calls, volume is loud and clear enough, both in speaker and earpiece. Noise Reduction is not available.
• Vibration intensity is solid. Better than previous leaks.
• All connectivities work, BT, WiFi, 3G/H+ etc.
• 480X800 walls work on both Lockscreen and Homescreen. LOL.
• FM Radio works fine.
• The device will now vibrate+ring
• Swype 3.26.92 is present. It's a Beta one afaik. And have problems. 3.25 is way better still.
• 1080P videos play fine. But Video Recorder zooms in automatically while recording 1080P videos. Was it there from first, can't say!
• Camera works fine.
• Touch screen response is good. Scrolling is smooth. It's not fast as LPH, a bit more controlled, thus you need to swipe your finger fast to get the whole page if it's big. Elasticity effect is more prominent than LPH.
• Same email, GMail app (no multi touch).
• Face Unlock works. Thanks to a cool time wasting feature.
• Stock internet browser is as usual uber cool.
• Play Store works fine with downloading.
• GPS locked fine in GMaps. Yet to test with GPS Status. GPS locks work absolutely fine.
• If you're TW launcher user then at least they have reintroduced the loop option in both App drawer and Home screen. And yes, 3D effect from homescreen and app drawer is not there any more, it never was a deal breaker for me anyway.
•Deep sleep works fine as usual.
• Connection with my Desktop is working fine.
• Chrome Beta isn't FC'ing anymore.
••• What SHOULD be FIXED:
• Same pathetic incoming call UI! You gotta be kidding me, who would like a non slider dumb looking answer/reject option? I certainly don't.
• Call logs don't categorise numbers. So NO compact view of an entry. Poor.
Contacts tab is also removed from dialer!
• Other than the default fonts no font is synchronized in built in apps like Calender, Stock email app body, Main texts in Stock browser.
• Developer Option should be removed after doing the final and needed polishing.
• What kind of annoying lock screen is this? Not ICS, Not GB, what the hell?
• Impossible to edit a text in Stock Browser because of weird cursor movement.

***Conclusion***
Well I can't say it's the perfect release Samsung has done, but I think it's OK. There are some minor glitches here and there, but no major one. Still there are things need to be fixed, and I am sure next firmware upgrades will solve some of issues.
UK ICS Ofiicial should be coming soon:
• http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_ics_update_to_hit_uk_next_week-news-3971.php
In the meantime please do post your feedback and all the pros/cons, if you've found any. Please DO NOT post that battery life is bad, or some third party apps/games are not working because they are meaningless. ICS is just released and many brands are yet to configure their apps and games to make it ICS compatible.
There are many release, so please also mention which one you've flashed in the PDA/PHONE/CSC format.

Does for anyone Facebook contact pictures work? Installed Facebook account in Social Hub, and the official Facebook app, chose to sync contacts, but no pictures show up in Contacts...

I would never change my samsung galaxy s2 unless for the s3! Samsung is the best with hardware specs but I would never use any official rom cause samsung is the most terrible when it comes to software. I am on the rom on my signature and will wait for miui v4 to get ics

I think these 2 wierd changes have been done to get around Apple's slide to unlock and similar patents. These changes cropped up after Apple tried to enforce these patents against Samsung devices.
Don't sweat about developer option, they are required by someone using GSII for app development. Some of these were present in GB too but under Applications menu and not main settings menu.
I feel this release was a mistake or Samsung is doing some kind of UAT using 3-4 countries.First thing is the version LPQ which looks like it's a development build and not a final release build since those usually have [Year][Month][Build] format which should have made this build LCx and not LPQ.

ROM for the GF's phone

I'm looking for opinions on about three different ROM's for my girlfriend. And I'm only posting this in a new thread because most the other ones I see are 2 years old and therefore highly outdated.
TN Elousions 2, the Team No Name ROM, and Thundershock.
Now, she wants to have a UI fairly close to stock. We tried one with ICS and she hated it. Maybe it was the ROM. I'm not sure. It was all blue and white menus and she said it was difficult to navigate. We went back to stock.
Anyway, she is having constant problems with her phone with reboots, apps not working properly, battery life, etc. She wants to switch to an iFail errr iPhone and I'm trying to convince her that Android is the place to be.
She uses the GPS function on her phone for navigation a lot, so GPS MUST work... She uses other apps such as pinterest, facebook, fitness pal, etc... But GPS is the main thing we need..
So I'm looking for opinions on those three roms or even any others that are stable enough and fast enough to show her that an Android can be improved even when it's 2 years old and counting.

MikG 3.11 offers a UI very close to the stock Sprint ROM but also permits quite a bit of user customization. GPS performance on this ROM is solid. Unfortunately, there has not been any development on this ROM since March 2012; but the ROM is solid. You can download MikG 3.11 at http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?10338-MikG-v3-11-3-9-2012 (be sure to get the Full Wipe version).
I also recommend uding ca1ne's Classic Sense Kernel with SBC for improved battry perfomance. You can download the kernel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557248 (be sure to get the SBC version).
Be sure to perform a nandroid backup and wipe the cache, Dalvik cache, and system before flashing the ROM. You can flash the kernel as soon as the ROM flash is completed.

I have been using Thundershock for about 2 weeks now with very few issues, gps works great (used it quite a bit) .You can always change appearance by using launchers, I use go launcher

I was using InFaMoUs 2.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836346) for a while and really liked it. It had a very stock feel to it. I felt like my phone performed faster under most conditions using that rom. The only thing I didnt like about the rom was that i was constantly getting low memory notifications. I think that the sense roms take up a little more space, but i think the real culprit was one of the games that i installed was growing in size every day untill it took up all the room i had left on the phone.

Thanks guys and its well appreciated,i know things are slow around here now,the poor ole EVO is dying slowly,but we as devs are trying to keep it going for as long as possible.This of course is a private release,because its in beta stage,i will release this to the public,when im sure everything or just about everything works.​

Well guys this will take Diablo's customizations to a whole new level. He is no longer changing apk's and little stuff like that. He is learning how to change it on a source level. This can make the rom faster and cleaner than at an apk level plus more things can be added and changed easier. Cant wait to see what he has waiting for us. Keep up the good work and the more you work with source the easier it will get.

If I wouldn't have activated the old evo on my dad's number I'd give it a good run through.

So Far - after a day of testing:
1)Is there 4G? - YES
2)Is there FFC,is the video/camera in color,does it tear?Does video record? - There is FFC, all in color, no tearing that I notice, video recording works great
3)Does it connect to wifi connect?Does it disconnect after setting it? - Yes, wifi works fine.
4)Does all the tweaks work? - No force closes so far so I assume the tweaks are working
5)Do you get bootloops? - NONE so far!
and etc,etc.
One thing I noticed is that there are three different Google Search Widgets to choose from.
This Rom is working great so far. This is my first time ever using ADW so I am getting used to it. I like the iSense music player... nice touch.Slide to lock lockscreen works good as well. ARE YOU SURE THIS IS A BETA?????

Thank You! The "actionbar design" name threw me off.
So far, no issues at all with this Rom.

Will you be adding in the beats audio manager? I can really tell the difference without it.
