I am so sick and tired of people dissing this phone. The devs are so brilliant. The roms are stable and fast. This phone is truly a beast.
Sorry for the random post but I'm drunk. I love you guys and this phone.

I agree. This phone is beast. Now if I could just settle on a ROM. If I drank as much as I flash new ROMs my liver would be failing
using Galnet Scotland's latest miui build. Smooth and quick and gorgeous!
Too bad miui has such an iphone look to it.
If I wanted iphone, I would've bought one.
I don't get why people have suck a huge issue with the "it looks like an iPhone" then install a custom launcher... have you tried it yet? Yes the system looks a little iphonish, I'll give you that, lol.

I like the iphone look with the android functionality, themes, kernel mods, etc. Got a brother on the new iphone. He misses his Evo.
To each his own.

you do realize miui is highly customizable right? check any miui screenshot thread the default look is easily changed if you don't like it.

It's such a pet peeve when people compare MIUI to the iPhone. In no way are they even remotely the same.
The only thing that's similar about it is the fact that it has no launcher. Other than that, MIUI is more Android than anything else.
Does iOS have widgets? What about transition effects? A pull down notification tray with an array of toggles? Hundreds of themes and really nice lock screens?
The list goes on.

Used to say the same thing too until i gave a couple miui roms a try from the mt4g/g2x. I agree with mackster above for all the reasons listed and more.

I loaded up the latest MIUI on my friends inspire, very jealous and feeling animosity. So we shall continue to pain our heats with our favorite MIUI features. Mine happen to be the endless supply of lockscreens and the smoothness of the UI , yours?

i loaded it on my friend's inspire too. its very very clean that's my favorite part, the transitions are cool looking and the lock screen & notification pull down are nice, but after 20 minutes i got really annoyed at the UI. It resembles the iPhone UI a little too much.
I've never actually used an MIUI ROM before, but I have used some of the apps. The camera, music app, and the web browser are awesome... I can't wait for a full working MIUI ROM so I can try it out, however long that might be
transitions are nice @ lippstuh - - i dunno i got annoyed with it as well, but i know if i had it on my phone give me 20-30 minutes and it won't even look the same

But really, one of my favorite things about it is how easy it is to change themes. Then take into consideration that there are so many and it's freaking awesome.

In all seriousness about that, I tried merging of Cyanogenmods radio interface layer and i had data for about one minute and then I wasn't able to bring it back. I am not claiming to have a working solution since I am extremely new to developing and was just using newb ingenuity. The only problem that I ran in to AFTER the fact was that my dumb old phone wouldnt go back in to 4g, no matter which rom and radio I used lol! I <3 MIUI

whats is the bestest rom for the g2x besides cm7, i hate their roms
I find myself being annoyed by your post... Decide for your self. Sack up and flash something! If you don't like it flash something else.
What are you looking for in a rom? Speed? Stability? Peggle? LG camera? HBO2go?
There is give and take in all the roms. I like cm7 but I like the LG camera. Can't have both right now, so I stick with speed and stability and run cm nightlies most of the time... tried them all at one time or another...
I gotta know... What do you hate about cm7?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
ive had cm7 for my hd2, my vibrant and im just board and tired of it, its ok though i got the eagles blood and it clockes was faster that cm7!
Lets start with this... why so you hate cm7 ROM? This way we can make better recommendations, as well as flame you, give you no-homo as well as homo love and know more about your usage preferences.

If you're bored and want something that feels completely different try MIUI. Its based on cm7 but looks and operates MUCH differently.

MIUI = My Android thinks it's an iPhone.
I personally don't like the iPhone UI so I would not switch to MIUI. If you like the look and feel of the iPhone UI give MIUI a try. If not, stay clear of it.

The only thing that is even remotely iPhone-esque about MIUI is that the stock launcher has no app tray. Use Go Launcher or LP if you want an application drawer. Otherwise it doesn't feel or look anything like iOS.
If you are bored with standard Android, you should absolutely try MIUI. Don't let some tool tell you not to try something. Even if you do decide you don't like it, at least you'll have made the decision yourself.
MIUI themes/lockscreens are enough reason to try it out.

Sure you have various skins etc but I am talking about right at the very core, take even the messaging app as an example iOS has a beautiful glass effect, android has a horrible box, even the menus etc don't come close to Apple, Sure this is all minor but I remember looking at my first iPod touch and thinking WOW just by its appearance, i've never said that about androids appearance, now functionality is a different story completely but this is purely about aesthetics.
Each to his own, I like the non gloss, but then I use the same windows theme that's on 98.. soo.. Just me maybe

OP, I'm not sure what you're after, but with a little work, I've gotten my Android looking much more pleasing than my jailbroken iPhone ever did. The previous suggestion of MIUI is what might be right for you. For SMS specifically, GoSMS looks fantastic, and is customizeable to boot.
That is the joy of Android. You are never stuck with what you have. You have the ability to customize everything.

It has always been like that: If you want it just working for normal use, looking sharp and staying out of trouble, take the iPhone. If you are willing to put effort in it, take Android and you can make everything just a little bit better. If you are not willing to, dont..

Anything is possible with Android. Not to piss on your parade. And I'm sure we'll see MIUI make it to the One S.
Just saying that when they say it's possible, that doesn't mean much.
Agreed, it's possible but it's up to the whims on xiaomi. I really hope that they'll release MIUI for the One S. That's really the only ROM i'd care to flash.

Just curious: WHY? I've never had any interest in MIUI. It just seems like a cheap imitation of iOS. Sure, it looks nice, but why not just get an iOS device?
Obviously flash what you want, but I've always been curious why people like MIUI.
For me MIUI V4 is the best ROM I ever had. I hope it'll be available for 1S soon.

Honesty miui is nothing like ios... Y should give it a try, but why you asked, but well let's see, the superior customisation from the miui theme manager, fast, stable, great battery life (yes better than Cm7) and many more. I use it with golaucher and believe me, it looks good and performs great!

After hard search, I can't seem to find an iOS 7 rom. One that actually looks aesthetically pleasing. I know, I know. Why would you want iOS on an Android, but what's wrong with having the best of both worlds?!!?
iOS is gorgeous. It honestly is. But nothing beats the customization on Android. So if someone can help me out and show me something. I know MIUI has a iphone themed rom but I don't really care for it. I want the new iOS.
Thanks!

To each their own. Avoiding IOS is why I don't have an iPhone. I have no problem with their hardware.
Anyway, try looking for IOS7 launcher / ilauncher as apps. Maybe even a theme chooser theme if you just want the visuals. I looked real quick at some themes, but I didn't think they looked very good.
Good Luck.
Kidhudi,
Its people like you why I f*cking refuse to come on these forums. I thought I'd havemore luck after I explained I want what I want. Go be a smartass elsewhere. This is why beginners and iphone users hate android douches like you.

Yeah, I didn't find much. Most android developers stay away from it. Which kind of surprises me. You'd think with so much variety among us, wed find someone making an iOS 7 ROM. To be honest, I love the look of iOS, BUT I will never give up he customization and endless possibilities. To each his own though, right? Thanks for the reply!

Bro i was actually serious. you will probably never see a better rom than MIUI that can look like ios. and i guarantee you will never see ios7 ported to this phone. it is tough enough to get different andoid phones ported to another phone. the ONLY fool proof way to get ios7 is to buy an apple product. i wasn't trying to be a ****. sorry if you took it out of context.
thanks redndian i never saw that launcher i will give it a whirl. peace.
HI LAUNCHER and all their apps look pretty convincing.
