If you really want to get rid of the AT&T bloatware, and don't want to wait for a TiBu update or a program that will do it for you, what I did was navigated to the /system/app folder using root explorer, and I manually deleted the bloatware .apk's and any applicable .odex files. Not the most elegant solution, but I didn't want to wait

There's a new music app w/ teaks and different layout...has option to go into cd view instead of automatic... also has EQ
Gmail has minor layout tweak and performance tweaks
External sdcard is now mounted as /sdcard/external_sd, as listed in Root Explorer (needed to move my backups used in MyBackup Pro to /sdcard/sd to get it to work)

Copy/paste was in 2.1. It is easier now.
Still now way to click on phone number or URL in calendar appointment. GAL lookup only for email, not phone. No search of email on server.
Lots of nice little tweaks though - all over.
Oh, and tethering option in network section.

what about sideloading?

android help widget?

Not enabled, go here and follow steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797397
**if you rooted using Zilch's method, you do not need to copy over su or superuser steps

Anyone have any luck with the voice dial over bluetooth? Isn't that supposed to be supported in 2.2? Am I just missing how to enable it? I have a Jawbone Icon which was supported on the Nexus One with Froyo. Hmmmmm.

The video driver I believe is buggy/unfinished. I get stdev=9.16 in fps2d compared to 1-2 in 2.1 beta releases. That's where the lag comes from when changing the home screens and browsing through applications in Launcher pro with 3D drawer enabled. Actually, if the display is laggy then the whole phone seems like that..
Edit: Not only 3D is laggy, all is laggy...

Presents the Official
MIUI RELEASE
Donate to the man responsible to the EVO Gingerbread Build: StiffSpliff
StiffSpliff NEVER asked me to do this but we have to show some respect for his time. Donations keep Dev's from having to charge for sites and other things you see other Dev's doing now a days
I am not connected to these Paypal account's at all in fact I've only donated to it! Linked straight to StiffSpliff aka the man behind this​
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT​
Welcome to the Original XDA support thread for the MIUI HTC EVO 4G and the Official XDA support thread for the MIUI.US version of the HTC EVO 4G port!
MIUI is an extraordinary ROM presented and ported all over the world. We are a worldwide family and this thread supports all HTC EVO 4G MIUI global users. Recent changes have led to the development of two separate HTC EVO 4G MIUI ports. In the interest of providing the most relevant and highest quality support, this thread offers specific support for the ORIGINAL version of the MIUI HTC EVO 4G ROM, which resides at MIUI.US. We will continue to discuss and support general questions about MIUI, however; if you are using the MIUI-devs version of the HTC EVO 4G port and need specific help with that port, we recommend posting your questions in the MIUI-devs home thread. Of course we would welcome you to join us on the Original port here at XDA or at MIUI.US.
As this XDA thread is comprised primarily of original MIUI users running the MIUI.US port it may be difficult for most of us to trouble shoot for a different version. With that stated, MIUI.US is built on cooperation, community and inclusion and we will do our best to assist any and all MIUI enthusiast regardless of port version, release date or handset. MIUI.US is the continuation of a tradition and a new beginning for MIUI on the HTC EVO 4G. Welcome to our community, we are glad you are here and hope you will join us in building the best community on the net!
Your XDA-MIUI.US HTC EVO 4G support team [Stiffspliff, Tyzing, EndlessDissent, Jasonk75 and Just_s & Manup for his amazing graphics, themes and our banner]
Kernel Info: Generally MIUI uses the CM7 stock kernel. Of course others can be used. For more info on the CM7 kernel and CM7 visit: http://bit.ly/z3Cz2O​
[BUGS] Official Bugs Report Thread [GB][Fresh Start] ​
Unable to download from market
Solution: Open the "downloads" app from your homescreen, hit menu, and select download using wifi network. Then hit menu again, and re-select download using mobile network.
No 4G/WIMAX
Stop Asking, its in the works PS Stop asking
The illegible text bug (3rd party apps)
Solution: This is due to the Chinese devs at miui.com slowly implementing the new UI.
(using root explorer as an example)
Go to menu - settings - programs - manage applications - root explorer
Scroll down to "Compatibility mode" and toggle.
This will make root explorer usable.
This workaround may not work on all apps!
It's annoying, yes, but it's what we have at the moment.
Screen flashing black/white when scrolling
Solution: Toggle compatibility mode for that app. If it's on, turn it off. If it's off, turn it on.
No 720P video
Waiting for the Chinese to implement this. Or for CM to implement this. Currently not available on any cm7 or miui supported phone.
Some apps force closing i.e. Engadget, Mint.com, (tried uninstalling and re installing from market)
Solution: try running in compatibility mode, some apps are not 2.3 ready.
No FM Radio App
Solution: None Yet
GPS Menu Settings GPS Fix (Just_s Guide)
menu-settings-personal-my location
use wireless networks - ON (your wifi must be on, doesn't have to be connected)
use gps satellites- ON
see of gps works, if not, go back to same menu
go to gps configuration
in NTP server address, add a 0. in front, to make it 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
supl server address: supl.google.com
supl server port: 7276
hit ok
**If you are in the US you can alternately set the NTP SERVER ADDRESS to us.pool.ntp.org. Elsewhere in North America should leave it as stiffspliff recommends above. Other countries should see this link: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html and note the 4th paragraph.
GPS Status & Toolbox Fix
Download 'GPS Status & Toolbox' from Market
Enable GPS
Open GPS Status & Toolbox
Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Reset
Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Download
Menu > Tools > Compass calibration > follow popup directions
I know that these have helped several users and are much simpler and faster than the ##GPSCLRX# fix so they can be a good place to start.

MIUI In The News​
MIUI is far from a "basement app" here is some news from MIUI:
http://technode.com/2011/04/14/rumour-lei-jun’s-miui-android-rom-teams-up-with-guess-who/
Lei Jun is ex-Kingsoft CEO (like Microsoft), co-founder of Joyo.com (sold to Amazon), now Chairman of Great Wall Club and Angel Investor. His newer product, MIUI under his start-up Xiaomi, is stirring rumours about an OEM partnership.
MIUI is a 3rd party Android ROM tailored for the Chinese market. Think about it like a layer on top of your Windows OS on your computer, to make it more customised and personal, but on mobile. From their website it says it enables faster dialling, better security and a big library of themes and skins.
Last weekend at a developer conference there was some chatter about MIUI partnering with a big OEM. We can speculate it could be with Samsung, Motorola or LG because all are bringing their Android phones into the Chinese market. We have reason to suspect the OEM partner is Motorola because as an American based OEM, they know less about Chinese user behaviour compared to Korean based Samsung or LG. It has also been reported that Dianxin, another Android ROM incubated under Innovation Works is partnering with Sharp. Motorola needs to make a good impression to stand out in China, where competition with other Android phone’s is fierce

http://technode.com/2011/01/13/why-xiaomi-raised-35millions-to-design-a-real-phone/
Xiaomi is an iPhone/Android development company invested by Lei Jun, the board chairman of UCWeb, the leading Chinese mobile browser; ex-executive director of Kingsoft; co-founder of Joyo.com which is sold to Amazon at 2004. We used to report that,
Xiaomi has raised another round of $35million from Morningside Venture and Qiming Venture partner. The valuation of Xiaomi is reported at $200million.
$200million valuation?! Seriously, as an iPhone/Android development company, Xiaomi is able to attract that much of attention and money, which sounds insane. I could not get it, until yesterday two friends both confirmed with me, Xiaomi is not just about designing mobile applications, but designing a phone, I mean a real phone.
Looking at Lei Jun’s recent investment, I am totally impressed,
UCWeb – the leading Mobile browser (our previous coverage);
Xiaomi – one of the most promising iPhone/Android development company which already released several applications including Xiaomi Reader (iBooks like) and Miliao (a copycat of Kik);
MIUI – Android-based mobile OS;
Xiaomi Phone?!
So Lei Jun has the mobile operating system, the browser and the applications, once there is a nice phone, he actually is able to reach all the important sectors in future’s mobile phone industry. Smart!
The rumor says that the phone will come into the market in Q3, 2011. Is Lei Jun building a Chinese Apple?

Android tips and tricks (new)

Avoid task killers
It is best to avoid task killers such as Advanced Task Killer. Android is designed to automatically pre-load certain applications, even if you don't load them yourself. If it starts to run low on memory, it will smartly unload the oldest running apps automatically.
Manually killing tasks will only mean they get loaded in memory again. Task killers can make the phone slow, laggy, or drain battery life more quickly.
Bookmark a contact on your homescreen
To bookmark a contact on your homescreen, long press on the home screen background and select Shortcuts. Then select Direct dial.
If you call someone regularly this can be useful as you will have a shortcut to them handily placed on your homescreen
Bookmark a web page on your homescreen
To bookmark a website on your homescreen, go into your browser and find the bookmark of the page you want to create a shortcut for.
Then long press on the bookmark and select Add Shortcut to Home.
If you regularly visit certain websites, this can be handy as you will have a shortcut to the site on your homescreen.
Create folders to tidy your Apps
If you find yourself with too many Apps on the homescreen, then you can create folders to organise them.
To start, simply press and hold on an App and drag it over the top of another App. The App should change colour/shape. Then release your finger and the two Apps will be combined into a folder.
You can then drag more Apps into this folder using the same process.
To give your folder a label, simply long press on the folder and you will be able to enter a name.
Double tap for a full stop (period)
While typing emails or notes, you can simply tap the space key twice and the phone will insert a full stop / period
Install new keyboard to improve accuracy
The standard Android keyboard is good, but not great. There are many third party keyboards available which will improve your typing speed and accuracy.
Go to the Android Market and search for 'Keyboard' to see some great alternatives, many of which are more accurate and make typing much easier.
A good one is GoKeyboard.
If you see a warning saying the keyboard will collect all information (including credit cards) just ignore this. This is just a security feature that Android shows for every third-party keyboard that you install.
Accents and special characters
If you want to type non-English letters (eg those with an accent), long-press on the relevant letter. A list of options will appear for you to select.
Access the scientific calculator
To access the scientific calculator, rotate the phone to landscape mode.
The calculator will change to a scientific one
Add email or phone number from text
To add an email or phone number to your contacts from a text message, you can long-press on the email / phone number. Then select Add to contacts
Add widget to the homescreen
To add a widget, go to the homescreen and press the Apps icon (the circle with 6 dots). Then you will see a list of your Apps with the word Apps and Widgets at the top. Press Widgets, then you will be presented with a list of available widgets.
To add a widget, press and hold on it and then position it where you want
Android Easter egg
There is an Easter egg hidden in the Android operating system. To see it, go to your Homescreen, then press Menu - Settings - About phone.
Then tap on the Android version option 5 times and you will get a surprise.
Sometimes it doesn't work, so try a couple of times. By the way don't expect to see an actual Easter Egg. That is just the name given to things hidden inside software or operating systems.
Auto focus the camera
When taking photos or videos, tap the screen where you want to focus on. The phone will automatically adjust the settings to improve the image or video
Bring up more predicted words
If you have word prediction enabled while you are typing, you can long press the middle word that is suggested. This will bring up a menu allowing you to select various other suggested words.
Browse websites in full-screen mode
If you want to browse in full screen mode, without the URL bar at the top of the browser, then you can enable this..
Open the standard browser and press Menu - Settings - Labs. Then put a check mark under Full Screen .
To get access to the browser options (that are now invisible), there is now a neat hidden menu. Slide your finger in from the left or right of the screen. A circular menu will appear with various options.
Capture a still shot while recording video
To capture a still shot while recording a video, simply tap the screen while you are recording.
This will save a still image.
Change keyboards
To change keyboards (if you have additional keyboards installed), you can switch between them by pressing the small keyboard symbol in the top left of your screen. You will need to be in keyboard input mode (i.e. typing something) for this to work.
Note: you need to have more than one keyboard installed for this to work
Change quick response texts
The phone has the ability to send quick response text messages if your phone is ringing but you can't answer it.
To change these, go to your Dialer App - Settings - Quick responses. You can only have 4 of them and you may need to edit existing ones.
Change the backlight screen timeout
To change the backlight screen timeout, go to Settings - Display - Screen. Then choose the screen time out duration.
You can also tell the phone screen to always stay lit when it is plugged in via USB. Go to Settings - Developer Options. Then check Stay Awake.
Change the screen brightness
To change the screen brightness, start from the Homescreen and press Menu - Settings - Display - Brightness.
Then choose the desired brightness setting. You can also select Automatic brightness to let the phone decide for you.
If you have auto-brightness enabled, you can also press, hold and slide the top notification bar left and right. The brightness will increase and decrease accordingly.
Check phone status and battery usage
To find out information about Signal Strength, Network Information, Remaining Battery Time and Battery Usage (by Application), go to your Homescreen - Menu - Settings - About Phone.
Check the firmware version
To check your firmware version, start from the Homescreen and press Menu - Settings - About Phone- software version
This should list your Android version, Build number and Model Number.
Copy files between your phone and PC using WiFi
To copy files between your phone and PC, go to the Android Play Market and download an app called AirDroid.
This is an extremely useful App that connects your phone to your PC wirelessly, allowing you to move files and many, many other things.
Copying iTunes songs to Android
If you have decided to ditch your iPhone in favour of Android, then there is a simple way to take your iTunes music, playlists and album art with you.
Simply go the Android Marketplace and download a Free App called Easy Phone Tunes. You will also need the computer version of the software, so go to http://easyphonetunes.com and download it from there.
Then, when that is done, turn your phone into a USB storage device (this will vary from device to device, but instructions are on the website).
Once your phone is connected to your computer, open the computer version of the software and select your device from the Easy Phone Tunes list. Then follow the instructions to Sync your media
Create folders in your Quick Launch bar
If you have used up all of your Quick Launch spaces, then there is a trick.
Once it is full, press and drag an App from the homescreen and move it over the top of an App in the Quick Launch area. Then release your finger. This will create a folder containing the original App plus the new one. This is a great way to have access to regularly used App
Create shortcut to websites on your home screen
To create a shortcut to a website on your homescreen, go to your browser bookmarks.
Then long press on a site and select Add shortcut to Home
Customise your favourites tray
At the bottom of each homescreen is your favourites tray, which consists of 5 icons. You can customise it by adding icons to the tray. If it's full however, you will first need to remove some.
To remove an icon, simply press and hold an icon. Then drag it to your desktop.
Then to add a new one, simply drag an icon from your homescreen to the favourites tray.
Enable / disable vibrate / haptic feedback when you type
To disable / enable vibrate (also called haptic feedback) when you type or press the screen, go to Settings - Language & input - Settings.
Then uncheck Vibrate on keypress.
Enable sideload of Apps
If you want to install Apps outside of the Android Market (called sideloading), then go to Settings - Security - Unknown sources.
Note: use at your own risk.
Help, I have forgotten my unlock pattern
If you have forgotten your custom unlock pattern, then don't panic.
After 5 unsuccessful tries a button should appear saying 'Forgot pattern'. Press this and you will be asked to enter your Gmail username/password.
The phone will then ask for a new unlock pattern. If you don't have a Gmail account, then you might have to either call your carrier or factory reset your phone.
Hide folders or files
If you want to hide folders or files from being index or displayed, simple put a . (full stop / period) before the file or folder name.
Make volume / music louder
WARNING: Making your volume or music louder can damage your hearing.
Most phones have their volumes limited by local laws to protect our hearing. There is a way to boost your volume however. Go to the Android Market and download an App called Volume+ (Sound Boost). There is also a free version called Volume+ Free.
You will need to root your phone for this App to work.
Make your phone run faster
Here are the top 5 tips to make your phone run faster:
1) Use only essential widgets on your homescreen - each widget consumes memory and processing power which can slow your down your phone.
2) Uninstall apps that you don't use - after awhile your phone can get cluttered as some Apps are designed to always run in the background. If you rarely use an App, then uninstall it to free up memory and CPU resource.
3) Install Apps to your phone memory - if you have an SDCard, always install Apps to the phone memory, which can be accessed faster. If you have Apps on the SDCard, then move them back to the phone memory with an App called Move2SD available from the Play Market.
4) Use Static rather than Live wallpapers - Live wallpapers consume processing power and memory. Unless you really must have them, uninstall them.
5) Kill tasks occasionally - Some Apps will run in the background indefinitely unless you kill them. Most of them won't cause a problem, but it pays to check your running tasks from time to time. Hold down your Home key and check the Task Manager.
One last thing: Don't use Task Killers. Android manages tasks very well and Task Killers just make your phone unstable and can slow it down further
note this guide is mainy to help the people who didnt recieved a manual instructions booklet along with their phone like my country(INDIA)

Wow thanks! Im gonna uninstall my task killer now.
Good job! Some of this are well known but many aren't so it should be sticky subject for all who are coming into Android from wherever hey are coming.
The taskkiller part should be put in red
Another one: manage your contacts in gmail. It is bscked up accesible from anywhere and so convenient. Much easier to edit from the computer after all.

If you consider to use the prior version 2.3.1 (WITHOUT TIME LIMIT), I' let let stay a download link in OP for that all the time...
(but in that case you don't get new features from now on...)
Bubble Launcher is an 'always on top' side launcher for Android OS. It can be used on top of every opened app.
The starter halo hotspot is made as floating system window, so it can be on top of everything on screen!
It was made for JB 4.2.2 / 4.3 , but should work on OS versions since 2.3+.
The Launcher comes with a
-standard listview
and
- circle halo knob
for selecting an starting an app.
How to use:
Hotspot -> swipe left -> opens Circle Launcher;
Hotspot -> swipe up -> opens Favorites Panel;
(You have to mark some apps as Favorite in 'Blacklist & Favorites Editor' -> start 'Settings Panel' via Menu Button -> mark some apps as Fav. in most right column checkbox!)
Hotspot -> swipe down -> opens App-List-Launcher;
Short Tap on App in List -> HALO)))-start of app;
Long Tap on App in List -> Fullscreen-start of app:
circle launcher -> circle swipe to outside -> fast release -> HALO)))-start of app;
circle launcher -> circle swipe to outside -> wait a second release -> fullscreen-start of app;
circle launcher -> circle swipe inside Halo-knob -> no app will be startet;
Menu Button Opens 'Settings Panel'
Bubble Launcher supports Halo))) start of apps in MULTI_WINDOW on Paranoid Android 3.56 and above!
And of course you can start apps also in Fullscreen Mode.
On non Paranoid OS the apps will always be started in Fullscreen Mode.
In the full version of Bubble Launcher you can mark any app as blacklisted or favorite.
Blacklisted apps will never be shown in the launcher lists.
Favorite apps are listet on top of standard listview and are the only listed apps in circle launcher mode.
You can test this free XDA version, before purchasing the full version.
the XDA-app-version is full working with the following
limitations:
- blacklisting of apps not active

- Themes not active (only Holo Dark is enabled)
All other features are fully working!

HowTo use builtin 'Floating Notifications'
If your device runs Android 4.3 (and only than!), you can use the builtin 'Floating Notifications'. This may be useful, if you want to use your device in full screen mode.
To activate 'Floating Notifications' you have to download and install NLSHelper.apk (see attachments below...).
This APK will be installed as a Bubble Launcher module hidden from Appdrawer/Home Launcher.
After installing this module you have to activate the Notification Access Policy in SETTINGS/SECURITY/NOTIFICATION ACCESS by ticking the checkmark for NLSHelper!
(Bubble Launcher tries to guide you automatically to related Settings Panel after Installing NLSHELPER. If it doesn't happen, please go manually to SETTINGS/SECURITY/NOTIFICATION ACCESS for activating the policy.
If you have completed these steps, Bubble Launcher will intercept incoming notifications from gmail, sms/mms, google+, google search, whatsapp and similar apps.
(Only push notifications, no ongoing notification, will be intercepted!)
When a push notification is received an notify icon will be displayed in Bubble Launcher's Hotspot Bubble and a notifying Label will be displayed near the bubble.
If You Click on the notify icon in bubble, the notify label will be updated and displayed again.
Click onto the label for opening the notifying app.
Swipe from notify icon to down, for updating the push notification queue.
Swipe from notify icon to up, for clearing the push notifications queue.
HowTo use 'Custom Themes'
For trying out custom themes, download customThemeSample.zip (see attached files below).
Unzip this file to your root folder of your devices sdcard. After unzipping you will get two files:
1. old paper blue-16776961.blt
and
2. old paper gray-11446940.blt
(Don't touch the filenames or file name extensions of these two files! - Or the import will fail!)
if they are in the root folder of your devices sdcard, you can open Bubble Launcher's Settings Panel by its the App Icon in Home Launcher.
-Tap on 'Select Custom Theme ' in settings panel.
-Tap in the opening list on 'Import Themes'
- a Toast Message should notifying about successful import...
After that you can Tap on 'Import Themes' again and you can select one of the two freshly imported custom themes.
So you will see what you get...
That's all...
A detailed documentation for 'making your own themes' will follow later here!
HowTo 'Sort App Icons in custom Order'
Since Ver 2.0 of Bubble Launcher you can change the order of App' Icons in the Favorite Panel View.
To change sort order - open Favorite Panel by the related swipe action (i.e. swipe from Hotspot to left).
On the bottom of panel you find a Label called 'SORT ICONS'. - Tap on that - All Icons will begin wobbling...
Single Tap on an icon, that should be going to new position - the Icon's background color should change to orange color.
Now tap on an Icon at the position, where you want to get your 'marked app icon' - the order should be changed now!
If you finished sorting, tap again on 'SORT ICONS'.
The new sort order will be saved and used in Favorites Panel, Favorites List (and in Circle Launcher View, if you use full version of Bubble Launcher).
HowTo 'Use Custom Icons From Free Icon Packs'
Since Ver 2.0 of Bubble Launcher you can use free ADW-compatible icon packs to select single custom icons per app in Bubble launcher.
There are many free ADW icon packs available on Play Store or on other resources.
Support for Payed Icon Packs is not implemented atm.
The following steps should guide you for use of such icon packs.
1. Install at least one of those Free Icon Packs
2. Start Bubble Launchers Settings panel via it's Icon in Home Launcher
3. Tap on 'Edit/Sort Favorite-Icons' - a special Favorite Panel View should be opened.
4. Long Press the Icon you want to change to custom.
5. A share menu for installed Icon/Theme Packs should be opened.
6. Select the pack of your choice - If you have more than one icon pack installed - use 'only this Time' (to have the choice option later).
7. The Icon-Overview of your selected Icon Pack should be opened.
8. Tap on an Icon of your choice to select.
9. Tap the back button.
10. Your App Icon should be changed to the one of your choice.
that's all.
I'm working on the support for Payed Icon Packs for a later version of Bubble Launcher.
...
Thanks, looks cool.

Nice! Just bought the app. I've noted one minor problem though... If you launch the blacklist editor and then try to scroll it up to see more applications, it disappears and the settings window returns. This makes is practically impossible to blacklist apps that require the list to scroll to see.
Other than that, it makes a great addition to GloveBox and Gravity Screen. Looking forward to see where this project goes.
Thanks

Uhh... just to add to this... the problem only seems to occur if the Bubble hot spot is located on the left side of the screen. When on the right side of the screen I'm able to access the full blacklist listing.

Looks cool! What's the paid version called in the Play store? (can't find it)
Never mind, found it. But when I click on an app in the launcher they only come up full screen, not floating.
Never mind again, just saw that if not on a PA ROM apps only open in full screen mode.

Agreed, a link in the xda version wouldn't be a bad idea

Good launcher, I test it
hello i just bought the app,could get quite handy i think.
Some suggestions though.
1.Favorite only mode or maybe all other apps as an expendable tab or something like that that can be closed to make it cleaner for me people who mostly use the favorites.
2.customizable line height.I would like ti see more lines of apps at once.Sadly changing the dpi of the launcher doesn´t work as on all other apps.The circle gets cut off and the height doesn´t change at all or get too small and you see too much.
3.Could your app maybe force certain apps always to launch in floating window mode even when not lauched from bubble launcher but also from the notification bar or any other way?
4.option to disable app names.
5.improve list opening speed,maybe the in point 1 mentioned favorite only mode could help here.
6.If there would be a way to launch a favorite only mode like bubble but as a grid of icons that could be good.Faster and more convenient than the bubble i think.This way you could directly tap for launch in floating mode and long press for fullscreen mode.
ok,that´s it so far i can see.Please tell me what you think of it and what could be done maybe
also found a bug,even if made visible i can´t see the bubble on the left side on my Nexus 7,one my One x see it on both sides though.
Also icons on the Nexus 7 overlap with the app name text as can be seen in the screenshot
Launcher is very good
Im Not able to uninstall it..
I stopped the Service in the settings of the app, restarted the device twice. Still nothing.

Go to settings - security - device management - device administrator and uncheck bubble launcher
