So after running pretty much all the roms available for the XT720, I have to say the new MIUI rom beats them all. I came from dexters froyo 1.3 with bug patch. And for some odd reason it was extremely slow and laggy for me. Even with autokiller optimizer id start out with 60 MB free memory and slowly after some use itd come down to 19-20 mb. Anyways this is how I feel about the new MIUI ROM.
MIUI BETA 4:
This has got to be the fastest ROM ever. I had gotten used to using the laggy XT720 and hating it in the process but whoa am I amazed at how fast this one is. You can just fly through applications and menu's without lag. No lag when you open the keyboard, and the most annoying for me was how the keyboard would lag while using haptic feedback which I love. Dont be put off by the theme in the start everything from the boot screen, to the lock screen can be changed using the theme manager. Theres also a bunch of extra functionality. Like for eg flip to stop active ring, if you pick up the phone while its ringing the ringer volumes goes down. Contacts can be divided into groups, favourite messages etc.
The only draw back with this ROM were if you set up swap it seems to drain the battery really quick. like 10 % / 2.5 hours. I use milestone overclock at 56 vsel 1 Ghz and its pretty stable. I love this ROM and whats been put into it. Waiting for the camera app, HDMI out and other little tweaks here and there to be complete. Thanks Khal!
well I run bluesteel Tom. I have modified it some startup 65+memory avg running memory is between 75 to 90 I only know overclock to 800.
Very fast system no lag at all.

I would like to see your list of removed system apps dude..... Bluesteel was like all the other dxter based froyo for me.. works great with memory management for a few days, then slowly memory reduces down to the 19 to 21mb range & performance goes in the crapper.
Can someone explain in detail how I can install Minimod? I know how to install OR but not Minimod.
This info on minimod can be found in xt720 development (minimod)

F*ck MIUI! I really hate this ROM. Every time I see my phone with MIUI it makes me wanna trow it. It looks UGLY by every mean!
Despide MIUI is stable and fast, I think that if you clean BlueSteal v4 it's better. I have better quadrant benchmark resoults too. 1497 with MIUI and 1601 (personal record) with BlueSteal. I start with around 70 free ram on BS and after all widget start (a few, not much) and I use it a little bit it goes down to 45-50, but it's enough. ROM is very stable and responsive. With fj kernal I stay on 60-65 free all the time.

I am interested to see this too. 3rdstring has a list going, but always nice to see another pov. I have same doggish problems too. To the point I am considering 2.1 for awile. Pulling low 1200's in quadrant, but don't take too much stock in that if everything is lagging.

Lol, to each his own I guess. Im pretty sure you are put off by the theme. Blue steels theme was pretty ****ty too. And I dont like updating themes through open recovery its just a pain in the ass. I always just adb push the ubuntu font onto my rom and then change the themes. With MIUI its much easier. Have you ever used a phone with stock MIUI it is on of the most responsive devices ever. I have always had problems with dexters based ROM's. If you have any tricks up your sleeve please share.

If memory got dumped just:
Running services --> Stop!
If doesn't help, Manage Applications --> Force stop!
I don't use Advance task killer, it just dones't work...
Also keep it low on widgets!
Programs running all the time : WidgetLocker, BobD3 Clock, SystemInfo Widget, SwitchPro Widget, SetCPU, Fancy Widget, BattStatt, Launcher Pro Plus twitter and ALYac antivirus real-time scan...
The way I install my ROMs is:
1. Always Flash to stock 2.1 true RSD --> Factory reset!
2. Install Dexter Froyo -> wipe dalvik-cache/Wipe Data/ Facrory reset/ wipe Cache
3. Delete SD card craps from Dexter Froyo --> Factory reset (just in any case)
4. Install Khal's BlueStealEpicv4 -->wipe dalvik-cache/Wipe Data/ Facrory reset/ wipe cache
5. Factory reset (just in any case)
6. Delete - Talk, LatinIMEtutorial, Facebook,Tweetdeck,... etc.
P.S. I always reformat and repartition my SD card Fat32/ext3/swap(for any case )
It my seem too much, but it works for me.

You may wanna try this one http://www.multiupload.com/T05RW5U5HK ... real MIUI. The one you flashed is not actually a MIUI.
Also remember to flash Dexter 1.3 first and wipe dalvik-cache / cache partition / factory reset after restoring.
Hi, just install differtent launcher and change the menue style. After that You have original android feeling with miui advantages.
I use zeam launcher which makes the system very smooth.

Hi eSu.Matix,
i'm currently running the steelepicblue as well, it's way nicer than MIUI..I cleaned almost all the system apps and my available RAM is now always between 50 and 70 MB, however, i've never been able to reach that Quadrant score...
What tweaks did you apply? Thank you very much in advance!
Hi,
I love the Miui Rom for :
1. Lot of setting option posibility in Setting page.
2. Like the Toggle bar IN STATUS BAR (FULL SIZE <->) you can scroll left and right. (must have), Its easy to read and have 90% toggle icon we need.
3. Like how easy is to modify or change and customizing theme.
what i dont like is:
The rom is not fully compatible with our XT720
This rom contain some bug for XT720.
Camera have some bug and low resolution env 5meg, HDMI not working at all, VPN dosen't work on my XT720 ON VIDEOTRON NETWORK.
But even that, i have difficulty to leave away. i realy love and need the toggle bar INSIDE the notification bar.
It's is possible to have TOGGLE BAR IN STATUS BAR in other rom
like MIUI, full size <-> , scrolling, good look, easy to toggle etc.
but i realy dont like the LOOK OF toggleBar that use some rom like V4 rom GalaxyXT version

You have to download maps from the market if you use it...
My Bluetooth Headset works fine so that is in order.
WiFi Works fine also
NOTE : I tried to flash SuperCSDIX10.zip as an update and it did not work. Do a full wipe then flash this new version.
I've installed Haykuro's Danger/Death SPL 1.33.2005 to test it with this Rom and so far everything is working smooth. I think it will work with the Hard SPL Also.
You can get this fast fast fast rom here :
SuperCSDIX10.zip DOWNLOAD
or if you don't like the Xperia theme you can get the older version:
REx3MixCSDI.zip DOWNLOAD
Metamorph Theme for REx3MixCSDI (Note: Don't just flash this on top of REx3Mix you need to use Metamorph -on the market- You will more than likely need Haykuro's SPL or Use Firerat's Custom MTD Partitons)
Download :Green Dev Droid Theme by gEkX
But don't just flash away with this one. Theres a few things you want to do before you get your 3D gaming on.
1. Backup everything on your SD card
2. If you already have swap and a ext partition then you should wipe and repair the ext partition. If not your going to want to partition out your SD card like so:
(remainder) fat32, (512mb-1gb) ext2/3/4, (at least 64mb) linux-swap. REMEMBER When you partition your SD card it will format it. So make sure to backup your SD's contents to your computer.
This is easily done using Amon's RA_recovery-v1.7.0
(If you don't want Apps2SD then you can skip the ext parts)
Now that your ready proceed to the install :
3. Boot into Recovery
4. Place SuperCSDIX10.zip or REx3MixCSDI.zip whichever you downloaded in the root of your SD
5. Wipe/Factory Reset
6. Wipe The Dalvik-cache
7. Wipe the ext partition
8. Repair the ext partition
9. Flash SuperCSDIX10.zip or REx3MixCSDI.zip (Whichever you prefer) then Reboot. Go though the Setup.
10. Get the new version of SupSetup on the Market
11. Setup Apps2SD with SupSetup then Reboot
12. Setup Linux-Swap with SupSetup the Reboot
(11 and 12 are both under Options in SupSetup 4. Also make sure you reboot in-between steps 11 and 12 this is IMPORTANT!)
13. If you get FC's when restoring backed up apps try running Fix permissions. In recovery go to console... then type utility... go to fix permissions and run it... then reboot.
14. Last but not least; One of the bigger issues with this ROM is the battery drain. With "Normal" usage I would have to charge my phone before half the day was over. This is what I did to fix this issue:
- Go into SupSetup
- Under CPU Options turn off "TurboMode" and "Modder CPU"
- Optional* Under Special Options I turned on Aceleración 3d. This, I believe, helps frame rate smoothness in 3D games and helps overall rendering.
- Download either "SetCPU for Root Users" or "OverclockWidget (Need Root)" ). Personally I got OverclockWidget because it was free but SetCPU may give you more options and whatnot.
- Set your Max: 528mhz and set your min: 128mhz
After about 24hrs of Normal usage (Surf the net a couple hours. Check Twidroid, Email, and XDA Mobile...constantly . a little gaming. plus phone calls and text. The rest on standby) I have only used 3/4 of my battery.
If your having troubles with backups not showing the the market you could try this:
Zei said:
For the ppl with backup issues, try downloading "MyBackup Pro" or "Titainium Backup" Mind you these are paid apps but the features on here will save your lives. Both apps backup your apk files WITH the current data/market links on them and has the ability to use a 1-click restore so it wont take you 5 hours to restore ya apps.
I used it on this rom and have had no FC's at all

I flashed this before, noticed there is no "clear" button on the notificaiton bar. Minor thing, but really bugged me.

I would just stay where you are...I flashed it to see what it was all about and it was pretty much the same, just a little theme additions. If there is anything major I definitely couldn't tell.
I tried it and, to be honest, I prefer Httclay's Superfast to CSDI. Faster and more responsive, IMO

Appreciate the info, Stupid/SuperFast is quite speedy right now, most likely due to the JIT....have to see on the long term performance over a few days. Prob will skip this build
For me, this CSDI is faster than any of the other CSDI's and definitely the fastest HTCClay ROM I've used.
Scrolling, opening apps, opening the app list, going from screen to screen, all super fast and smooth. Not a single issue so far after a couple nights of use.

You are right my friend the sound dosen't work on the alarm clock! I found a fix though. Download the old AlarmClock.apk here : DOWNLOAD
Then place that in the root of your SDcard. Next use better terminal and enter in this code:
Code:
$su
#mount /system -o remount,rw
#rm /system/app/DeskClock.apk
#cp /sdcard/AlarmClock.apk /system/app/AlarmClock.apk
Then reboot and everything should work fine.
on screen keyboard doesn't fix incorrect spelling. please fix
market
Also market is broken. It does show paid apps, but not all apps show up in market. I somehow corrupted my apk backup and now I can't find musicjunk or pandora in the market. If anyone knows how to fix it let me know and I'll come back to this rom asap. Hope this helps others also. Have a good night.
dude you gotta fix that POST and make the Download links CLEAR and not hidden in the "here" use DOWNLOAD or 4share
anyways there are all these "remix" ROMs floating around, its best to stick a straight up ROM, not one of themed mix and matches, either Clay's or CSDI, Clay is a SOLID DEV, with many versions of his FastTest series so he gets my vote, he keeps up his solid work with a a few ROMs a week
market
@ sianaka
market enabler did the trick for me
so cool====== everythings was change shooooooooooooooooooooooooock
i used this ROM 4days
What's the spl requirement and card layout for this rom.? A friend was trying to flash earlier but said no go for him. TIA.

You obviously don't know anything about how to explain a problem to get it solved. This superfluous thread should be closed IMHO.
Seriously, how old are you? Do you think all of us are psychic?
It would be better if you were to phrase it as " Would anyone please tell me how to get 2.2 Froyo for my Milestone Xt720? "
If anyone does, please tell me too.
Also, is the Milestone Xt720 supposed to be smooth or laggish? mine's quite laggish. i dont use a live wallpaper, i kill the apps. so whats wrong still? also, the phone drains the batt like a Bugatti Veyron full throttle.
Please advise
Same sluggish problem here, although I don't have that battery issue.

I love the part you mention the phone as BV on full throttle. Hope it will fly like that.
OK bro, Froyo is still on the way from Moto (ETA is unknown). Coz the bootloader is locked, you won't be able to install any custom ROM (at least to my knowledge). So, just sit tight and wait for Moto to update the software.
my XT is quite smooth. what I did is just Root the phone, Overclock the phone to 1000 MHz and install the Launcher Pro software to replace the default "Home". That's all required to make the phone fly.
for the battery issue, switch off 3G and wifi unless you're using it. that'd be fine.
(P.S. 3G radio use more power than wifi. So, hook to any wifi available unless how much data plan u take from SH)
First of all xt720 can boot custom boot.img(kernel + ramdisk). Follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821210
And second, you can root your phone overclock to 900-1000 install Launcher Pro or ADW + install JIT and APPS2SD and your phone will really fly
Recipe to lagless XT720:
- Install JIT
- Clock CPU to 720MHz
- Install Launcher Pro
yaaa...true...really fly dude!..oc to 1ghz 59 vsel damn stable...i dont understand y their said laggish?...need to know more deeply!..
my step is
format sd to 64kb cluster fat32 ,etx3 n swap..
new sbf which hav 720mhz standard clock ( mine is italian sbf )
apply app2sd ,jit n new build prob..
apply kalagas theme..
install sparepart and launcher pro.
I've installed JIT and overclocked to 1000MHz. Scrolling through homescreens are still not as smooth as on my old iPhone 3G.

u can try install sparepart then set to fast at window animation and transition animation in sparepart..

as title suggested, I have been enjoying the MIUIXT, it is the most reponsive n stable rom out of all other I have used, including, Dexter 1.3 + bugfix v3, CBW 2.2, wanhu, 2.1 Strikes back
the problem is I hate the Setting Menu, Option Menu, Lock Screen so much, does anyone how have them back to Stock Android ?
or is there other rom has the same Stability and Speed ??
After a lot of testing the only one that has the same speed (if not faster) is eclair strikes back imo. Unfortunately it has stability issues sometimes (freezes fairly often). I'm on it right now.
I've used every ROM including WanHu and Khal WanHu.
v4
you can try khals v4 rom. its good with a little overclocking and also has a LOT of free ram. didnt bother using swap. very responsive for me and very few FCs too. the most stable rom. its as good as, if not better than miui on my phone.
WanHu is just as speedy

I'd agree with that. I find Wanhu's to be very responsive + the FM Radio volume works, the Media key works & magnification during cursor positioning works. Personally the MIUI Lock screen & responsiveness are the only things I really liked about MIUI.
You can change menu in setting to get the android style, use other launcher and custom your lock screen. It will be fine.
But i think you should try Wanhu.
lol, guess I need to move back to froyo: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-android-market-for-phones-with.html
You know what I find it hilarious? People talk about fragmentation in android a lot, but the only apps/things that are froyo+ exclusive that I want are google ones (new market, music, youtube, gmail). Google is the one who is making everything fragmented for me lol.

Bingo. I couldn't care less about flash. I found the lack of animated .gif more annoying than lack of flash.
Yeah, right after I first installed 2.2 I immediately installed flash because that's what everyone talks about for 2.2. I uninstalled it a few minutes later, wondering what use I have for it on my phone (only slows things down).
Anyways I guess I'm gonna put MIUI on again. WanHu and Khal's ROM are good, but for some reason don't play nice with my fav app SPB shell 3D and MIUI seems a bit faster I think. Just don't like all the IOSy stuff, but what can you do... Bah, I wish someone would get some progress with CM7 already. Wish there was a way to get a bunch of experienced devs to just port it easily lol.
i'm back to MIUI from WanHu, MIUI runs more smooth and faster. My apps run all fine on MIUI.

i also reverted to khals miui final v2 from wanhu.... i think in terms of customization and user interface and feature rich ui... this is the best... hope oyang releases an english rom with latest miui base pack....!
After using miui I can't go back to any other. The features and functionality of this ROM is just beyond what I ever thought would be possible in an android device.
Their slogan is "Redefining Android" and they surely are.
I was on the fence if I should try this ROM or not since Weapon was pretty awesome too , but after trying this one I'm not looking back.
Thanks goes to Whitehawkx, Segnaro, Jface for making this happen.
****Note****: if themes are not working for you is because you need to go to /data/system and create a folder called theme.

Let's post the functionality that this ROM has for those that aren't sure what "we" are talking about.
I will post what I remember and then If you guys remember any other feature post it, then I'll update this post with the feature you posted.
Themes - can be downloaded directly from ROM and apply within the ROM. You can theme things separately like the dialer, status bar, toggles, icons, lock screens, messaging app, etc. You can dip all this with the theme manager engine they use. Ability to change fonts within ROM without restarting phone.
Features -
Dialer - record calls and take notes within the dialer during a call. Two big features I always wanted.
Dialer also works as a T9 keyboard
Browser - scroll up and down with volume rockers (pretty cool), hitting the back button actually goes back, not like other browsers.
Screenshots - by pressing menu+ vol down
Settings - Redesigned setting menu with added features and tabs to categorize each setting menu.
Ability to track data usage
Integrated app killer and app manger by long pressing the home key also by long pressing the back key, closes the app completely.
Lock screen - hold down home button will turn on torch
Toggles - when long pressing a toggle, it will open that toggle setting screen.
Camera - added features like Sutter control, zoom in screen, adjustable brightness on screen, touch to focus and redesigned camera skin.
A whole bunch more that I'm sure I'm forgetting or don't know about.
Keep posting features below!

Dude I totally agree, this rom is just amazing it pretty much uses the same kernel As cm so u know the speed is there, it actually feels a little more fluid. And on any other rom when u go to change the lockscreen or even launcher, u have to do a little , "work" and u have to be a little tech savvy for that part, but with miui they make it so damn easy someone coming from the razor could do it LOL , and there is so much options to choose from, **** sitting on latest kernel source, voodoo, and some badass 3d animations, very cool rom oh and moshe22 when u hit back with the browser it actually goes back a page u don't have to hit it a zillion times, the volume scroll is badass

And on any other rom when u go to change the lockscreen or even launcher, u have to do a little , "work" and u have to be a little tech savvy for that part, but with miui they make it so damn easy someone coming from the razor could do it LOL , and there is so much options to choose from, **** sitting on latest kernel source, voodoo, and some badass 3d animations, very cool rom oh and moshe22 when u hit back with the browser it actually goes back a page u don't have to hit it a zillion times, the volume scroll is badass

Is this the miui Tom 1.8.5 all of you are using?

I used MIUI on my G2 or vibrant, can't quite remember. I liked it a lot, but the battery life was so poor I couldn't stick with it. How is it on our phones? I don't need 15 or 20 hours or anything, but wouldn't mind something decent.
Also, are there different ports of MIUI for our phone? If so, are they all pretty much the same? Thinking I'm gonna give MIUI another shot, but want to use the version available that will leave the best taste in my mouth.

Latest version is 1.8.12 and is based on CM7 latest nightly so is super stable at least as of today using Whitehawkx version.
battery life is pretty good!

What do you wipe?
The way I do it is: Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, /system and then flash ROM, fix permission and the enjoy
Sent From My G2x Running MIUI
yeah I wipe dalvic cache, cache, system.. multiple times just for safety, but i havnt fixed permisions.. i will search out 1.8.12 and give it a shot
Been running Miui since last August/September, whenever it was ported to Evo. Sans CM its by far the fastest, smoothest, most stable rom out there. I haven't seen any reason to switch since it was released for G2x. I'm still on 1.7.26, and dont feel the need to upgrade. Thats how good Miui is.
On my G1 I was flashing roms every day. Moved to Evo/NS and flashed once or twice a week.
On my G2x? I think I've flashed mayyybe 4 roms since 4/20. Why? Cause anything LG touches turns to poop. No offense to all the bomb devs, but CM/Miui are the only things worth running on this phone. I dont get why anyone even wants to run a stockish build when CM/Miui are so much better in every single aspect.

Whitehawkx actually specifically requested that it not be linked anywhere other than the forum it's listed in. just google whitehawkx miui and you should find it easily. I'd post the forum name but I don't want any mods here getting pissed off.

Any way to get the page in the browser to open in overview instead of zoomed in.
Also the keyboard closes just randomly... very weird. I love this rom too so far but this issue sucks..
Go to settings> programs> browser settings> Advanced> web page> page zoom setting> far

Another cool feature: press and hold down the home key, app killer and app manager will open for you, press app killer and kills anything running.
Press and hold the back key in an app and closes the app completely instead of running in the background.

Which MIUI rom is the "best" for the g2x? I'm a little bored of CM7 and would like to try something else.
Try them all...
Is there a main "official" one? The thing is, I don't know too much about it because I guess XDA doesn't allow it or MIUI doesn't allow it on XDA?
There is jface and whitehawks port so only 2 to choose from.
For me personally I prefer whitehawkx version stems to have all features and everything is stable compared to jface

On whitehawkx right now. No issues whatsoever. This is a stable as I've ever seen an ASOP rom.

I like the rom only reason i switched is mms pics i got were soo little i could hardly see them. I asked in 3 different forums and got no reply.
For users with tiny mms picture problem. Download GO SMS and set it to 1.2 MB and "Preserve Image Size" and you'll get good MMS pics.
Whats the best kernel to use with these roms?
Any cm7 kernel will theoretically work, I used faux though

I know, but miui has a beautiful messaging app, why should we have to use 3rd party bloatware..
I'm using miui4g2x 1.8.19 by jumaaneface
Seems to be a big step in the right direction over the very first MIUI ported ROM I tried.
WiFi Calling would make it perfect. Battery seems to be good.
I'm downloading 1.8.26 by Whitehawx now:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1858&page=45
I'll compare the two and figure out which one I like better. I really enjoy the blue default theme by jumaaneface. I don't think anything has been changed or updated other then using the latest 1.8.26 build (no G2x tweaks).
Update:
I don't really see any framework differences. I don't like the Boot Animation of Whitehawx. The one from jumaaneface had a sweet MIUI boot animation. Whitehawx 1.8.26 has the WiFi Calling app but it isn't seeing my SIM Card (which is the problem they've been having)... so no extra benefit there.
Music isn't FCing on the newer build which is a plus. There is also a DND (Do Not Disturb) app which wasn't in the older rom.
I could be wrong but battery seems to be chewing through the new build. From 8am-2pm I was at 60%. I flashed the new rom and booted up at ~55% and within 2 hours I'm down to 40%.
I did flash 1.8.26 over 1.8.19 so I'm not sure of any apps I carried over, only the new apps and features.
Running stock MIUI with stock kernel and Go Launcher.
Battery is awesome i can last a full work day without having to plug in.
After using it for a few days, I'm pretty disappointed.
1. There's no "all apps" button.
2. No 2g/3g toggle built into toggles.
3. Can't even use PowerControl because you can't change its parameters.
4. Battery life seems worse than Cynogen.
5. When typing in URL, it will randomly close the keyboard.
6. Can't add custom shortcuts.

For starters use Go Launcher. They pair nicely. Else put a folder on the launcher bar and drop all apps in there.
Also use 8.19 because the latest one 8.26 killed my battery.
Why use powercontrol when you have every toggle in the pull down?
8.19 comes with swipe but the stock GB keyboard has a wonky dictionary. The fix is to just download the GB KB from the market and switch to it. It may also solve the hiding keyboard cause I haven't a problem with the market version.
The only downside I've found is that Maps doesn't appear to be intregreted very well with the stock browser. Usually I'll get a pop-up asking to open the link with the actual Google Map app which is easier to use on a mobile.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI Love
Asus TF - Custom 3.2
Whitehawks is great, never tried jumaaneface.
If you're a Wind user in Canada you cannot use whitehawkx MIUI because data does not work. You have to use face MIUI.
Switching back to CM7. MIUI is pretty terrible in my opinion.
miui 1.9.9
whitehawk version 1.9.9
Was using miui 1.9.2 and it ran great with minor issues like my led home lights would shut off and the only way to get them back was from the led setting or reboot. Sometimes my phone would just turn off thinking it was asleep but was actually off. I would have to pull the battery out to turn it back on. I downloaded 1.9.9 but haven't tried yet using weapon g2x 2.5 and so far everything is running smooth with no issues. I had to uninstall tw launcher cause it was force closing now everything is great.
