I hate it. The apps r setup like miui all apps on home screen and no widget resize. Vary hard to modify

I bought it. Not that bad for a beta. A lot to come though. Not worth $20 for now. And... it can't be installed on Miui.

It has been 3 months since the last post. Is it better? Is it a battery and/or Ram hog? The themes look great so I was just wondering if this could possibly be worth that much $$.

Its nice, but its not really worth the cost. There are launchers just as good available for much cheaper.

I'm using it right now...I dig it. Its unique and its actually very fast.
Not as customizable for sure as let's say Go Launcher EX..but go launcher is a memory hog and gave tons of FC's.
I've tried ADW EX and a handful of others...even Rocket Launcher
What other good customizable launchers are out there?

So it didn't drain your battery and use all your ram? According to the reviews it does this.

lost of good luck, haha... just curious if it is even possible cause if I remember a serious team of rom cookers/builders couldnt get sense ported to and samsung phone cause it is a totally different phon/ hardware/processor... its just not likely if I remember right. But serious good luck to you cause that would save me from getting the sensation.

I don't know about seeing a ROM with Sense 3.0 on my G2x but I can tell you right now. If I can't get a G2x that isn't so buggy I will be getting a HTC device with Sense 3.0. I have been through 4 G2x's in the past 2 days and all of them have serious bugs or defects.
where there is will there is a way lol
the more support I get the better chance there is

Sleep of death. The screen goes completely black and wont wake up from stand by...no matter how many times I press the on/off bottom. So taking battery off fixes it, but it happens many times.

To some it is due to its highly customization

Depends on taste......CM7 i think has better performance, but Miui is the must have anyone that loves to customize there phone. it lets you change everything piece by piece but it has no app drawer unless you use a launcher to get it back otherwise all your apps will just be on the front pages.
there both great, but cm7 still has my vote on sheer smoothness and tweaks. but again i loved "ee"'s themes for Miui so who knows

It is very "iPhonish" when you first use MIUI; throw a lancher on it, though, and it's back to business as usual. Very slick, very smooth, very customizable (if that's a word). Oh, and it's based on CM 7.1 sources. I've tried all sorts of ROMs on my Inspire, but I always end up going back to MIUI, it's just too damn nice. Getting a SR soon, and I'd love to see a MIUI build for it.

I agree with this. Almost every aspect of MIUI is iPhone ripped. Throwing a launcher over top of it kind defeats the purpose of MIUI (IMHO).
I have used MIUI and it had horrible battery life, right up there with CM7. Personally I would never use MIUI or CM7 ever again (on one of my phones).
That being said
I have MIUI on my daughters phone because she loves the iPhone and since I am giving her my Captivate for Christmas and she really wants an iPhone, I decided to put MIUI on it to ease the pain. LOL
agreed,
women seem to love miui though......hence why i am trying to put it on my old cappy to give to my GF.
but am having issues with the drivers.
i dont mind CM7, with the right kernel the battery drain is not that bad......but yes it can get annoying to have plug your up to the wall every couple hours as a preemptive strike on your phone dying.

I have had iphone3 3gs and 4. I don't like them and this captivate is already paid for. So I'm not buying a new phone when this one works fine. Especially since she's 14 and this captivate is a huge upgrade for her.

Ok. So what would it take to get MIUI ported onto SR? What's the process? I tried everything on my HD2 and i always ended up with MIUI. And now i upgraded to SR and would love to install MIUI on it. How to we initiate it?
It boots but no data, someone said they fixed data and will give me the zip but haven't received anything

Maybe this was his first android? It sure was mine, and when I was buying, I was deciding between tbolt, charge, and revo. Revo was binged so that was out. I looked at reviews of tbolt and charge and some said they preferred TW and some said sense. Without any experience on Android I had no idea what the difference was. I bought the charge based on the tbolt's 4 hour battery and the screen of the Charge in the corporate store.
After getting involved in android communities I know the differences between the UIs and TW is the worst (for me)

No. ICS is Googles Android OS. CM9 is a modded version of it.
ics simply refers to android version 4.0. Cm9 is based off of android 4.0 aosp but has many added features and tweaks.
Just like cm7 is based off of android 2.3 (gingerbread) aosp.

I think his question is really what is the difference between the two. Which right now I don't think there is much. I think it's just about porting and getting everything working. Maybe there is some small optimizations done but nothing heavy. I think cyanogenmod is working on adding features as we speak and will most likely release a big beta with all of them implemented vs small amounts being added over time

Why does everyone wants ICS so much?

Hey guys, I recently went into Verizon and played with the galaxy nexus. Its a nice phone, but what's so fantastic about ICS? I thought it was too dark, and really slow (at least the display model was). I've used sky-ics rom and I had to go back to StockMod.
So why exactly does everyone want it and ask about it? Personally I prefer touchwiz, its a lot more intuitive. The biggest difference I saw was the widgets displayed in the launched and the recent app tray thing. But its not like a game changer.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but just curious.
