So at this point I would like to think that I am no stranger to Android development, however, as I move into the world of ROMs this is clearly not the case. I have had a number of people suggest that as part of the Seven+ Project we developer a WP7/ Metro UI ROM. I think that is a great idea, but just do not know where to begin.
With that said I would like people's feedback on the following:
Would you use such a ROM?
What features would you expect in such a ROM?
What ROM/ source should it be based off of?
What is preferable, open or closed source?
Would you be interested in working on a ROM?
With the unimaginable success of MIUI it has come to my intention that open source may not also be the way to go. Also, I would like to reach as many devices as possible but am not sure how. Basically, I am no ROM maker and that is why I really need people's feedback. This could be the next major ROM, or a novelty that few if any find valuable. So please, let me know what you think and who knows, perhaps we can get started on a ROM!

I'd use it,
I would like to see integration into social networks
maybe based on CyanogenMod, that way it may be easier to port to lots of devices?
Open source would be nice too
I would certainly try out the rom, I mean it would be a brand new experience. Now I would expect a full WP7 experience and with the innovations of Android (Take a look at HTC Sense, You can get some ideas what people like there). I agree this should be based off of Cyanogenmod. It has a large user base and should be easier to port from device to device. I tend to disagree with your view of closed sourced is better. Sure MIUI has been successful but it's no where near where it could of been if it was open, and also don't forget it's also based off cyanogenmod which is open sourced which allowed such creations as MIUI to be made. Open sourced allows software to become better and having it closed source just limits the rom. I don't have many if any skills for developing a rom, but if you needed testers I would be glad to help.
Would you use such a ROM?

Definitely, I thought about even making one but lots of the items are paid for items and it's against XDA rules to add pay-for items into a ROM.
What features would you expect in such a ROM?
Click to expand...

Launcher, Status Bar (Native, not an app), contacts, phone, framework-res mods (so the WP7 look is universal, and not just limited to the app alone), WP7 style texting app, keyboard, Lockscreen, and more.
What ROM/ source should it be based off of?

Cyanogenmod 7. However with MIUI's theme engine it would be a better choice, but then it would be more of a theme and less of a ROM. Also you might have issues if you're using the status bar + app, since for some reason, it appears under MIUI's status bar.
What is preferable, open or closed source?

Anything Windows styled shall remain closed source, while Android itself remains open source.

Sure, depending on the circumstances. Could simply port to myTouch 4G from DHD, or G2 (or it can be the other way around) and have a synchronized release.. or other options.
My 2 Cents.
Very Good!
Yes Please! WP7 with google apps? Who doesn't want that?
So it seems that either only people interested in such a ROM found this forum post and replied, or people really do want a Metro UI ROM.
The closed/ open source issue is one we could ultimately decide on in the future, but making the UI open source would essentially eliminate the profitability of my work, and if the absolutely impossible were to occur and M$ realizes that Android could be a better Metro UI platform than WP7 should it be open source it would simply become theirs.
As for framework modifications that is certainly my intent. There is no reason TabHost could not be replaced with a Pivot control, use the same API perhaps with a custom XML namespace for additional control, and simply ignore the icons. Much of the same goes for menus and contextual menus. Other features like Panoramic controls would be additional features that would need to be explitictly used.
Now the suite of applications is important, and likely leads to a potential profit area. The ROM could be on XDA because it would be free, and for a fee all applications could be unlocked to become the full featured version. I certainly think CM would be a great base because of its broad compatibility. Otherwise thanks everyone for the feedback, I hope to get more soon.

Being completely honest here, but no, I wouldn't use it no matter how good it was.
The simple reason being that I really don't like that people keep trying to emulate the look and feel of OTHER mobile OS's in Android. What's wrong with Android's OWN look and feel? We should be trying to make THAT stand out as much as possible, not pretend to be the competition!

I would definitely use it! I feel like it's very important though that it has the feel of your UI demo App. With the notifications being the same access color and coming from the top. Pop-up 7 just doesn't really cut it when it comes to that. The variable alphas and low res buttons make it seem quickly put together. That being said I've been wondering for a while when/how you were planning on putting together/implementing a rom that had ALL of the components together and meshing well. I'm really excited to see this and will be checking back often (if not daily). Thanks for all your good work!
I would use it! if it's compatible with HTC wildfire, nobody work on ldpi device neither roms nor themes, only cm give somenthing compatible for us, an alternative would be appreciated, especially if it is somenthing light such as the wp7 ui

Why? It is simple: Android has a terrible user experience and from the looks of things (Honeycomb, ICS leak) it is not getting any better. That, and who even gets to see Android anymore? Carriers even with Honeycomb slab their UI and suite on top of Android to the point were frankly it no longer is Android.
I guess then the question is why make a WP7 ROM. Well the Metro UI is simple and effective, not to mention it could be easily done more performant than other (cough, Sense) UIs. Also, I have a great deal of code for Android that can give it that look and feel.
While a suite of applications is great it does not cut it. There is simply too much that can only be done as a ROM. Lately Android has been becoming more closed (no HC source, removal of APIs and permissions from the SDK), so before its too late I should think most would be happy that they get the best of both worlds: Android has a large application catalog and WP7 a great UI.
Just my though process, and if I can find developers to collaborate with I would love to begin a fork of CM7 for this ROM.

i would definitely like to help on this ROM, and I totally agree cyanogen should be used as a base.
but, it wouldn't be that hard to compile everything on top of cyanogen, but building the replacing apks is a lot harder. for those, I should knock on the door from the devs from www.wp7android.com they have already a great start with several applications. And maybe they are interested too in creating a ROM.
So if you would like to let me join you, you got your chef for the desire s.
Edit:
And because I don't know everything, I'd learn from this too.

Most of the devs in Seven+ project are from Wp7android.com which kinda collasped as far as I can see
A WP7 Rom would be great. I would use it. CM7 is probably the best AOSP platform to adapt, imho.
Would you use such a ROM?
Of course
What features would you expect in such a ROM?
Speed and less CPU consumption.
What ROM/source should it be based off of?
Nexus Prime or Sony Arc S
What is preferable, open or closed source?
Open Source
Would you be interested in working on a ROM?
I try my best to give suggestion or design a few things for it.
---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------
If you are looking for developer, there are plenty to be listed bro.
As everyone are quite certain of ICS launch thats about to take place in Hong Kong of 19th of October . My question here is that , will MIUI be consistent in their regular updates? Will users perfer downloading MIUI Custom ROM even after the amazing UI coming inbuilt with ICS
Are they worth compromising? Whats the future of MIUI?
Or will MIUI look forward to adopt ICS Source code and alter it according to their needs keeping in mind their own alterations?
This thread is mainly for views/suggestions/opinions thats it
Cheers guys.
I hope miui disappear off the face of the earth.

Well I guess I did hear from quite a lot of people who actually make regular builds like Danny himself telling that MIUI is built using CM7 source. I dont know the inside news.
The UI of miui is great , but then still it gives you an Iphonish look , so why not users go and buy an Iphone rather then bricking their device with Iphone look alike UI leaving the great android UI behind.
Don't like MIUI, so couldn't care less.
Don't think MIUI is going anywhere. I mean why would they? There are already a ton of launchers out there that look far better than the ICS one we've been seeing lately, and MIUI is still here so why would one more change that?

Because even if MIUI ROM was never created, people would use launchers like Go Launcher , Claystone (new in the market ) and several others.
And I bet ICS UI is not worth leaving for launchers like LP , ADW , Go Launcher and QQ , definitely NO .
Rumors are speculating at a rapid pace for ICS not just because its a new addition to Google race , but because it also has good and user friendly interface (expected from google) .
MIUI will find some trouble I guess.

agreed
people would be better off learning how to theme, than to slap on pre-themed CM mods
I don't see anything amazing about the ICS UI, MIUI looks good, and it's pretty well known that it's from CM source. There's a lot better looking themes for MIUI too.
I think MIUI will take the ICS under its wings and will release same iPhone like UI in the future also
Wow, a lot of hate on here. Yay internets!
Personally on my model of phone (desire) cyanogenmod (incl 7.1) runs nowhere near as fast and has far worse battery life - doesn't even come close.The other launchers I really dislike in comparison too, not just the effects but the general "snappiness" of dashboard switching. Currently on MIUI XJ 1.9.9 and whilst it's unfortunate if there is code stolen without credit given - there are clearly things MIUI have done right/better otherwise I'd be straight back to CM (on CM imediashare works for one thing!). I occasionally get random resets on CM too unfortunately, 7.1 no change. Could be somewhat hardware related fault but I've only got one device!
As for ICS - I won't hold my breath on it being more usable or stable, but I would like to see what the MIUI teams could do with it as they've consistently made the most stable and fastest rom I've ever used.
Go MIUI GO
MIUI saved mine SGS. The proximity sensor crashes mine sgs and miui is the only rom that gives me the option to disable this sensor. So no more crashing on phonecalls. I started using miui because i had to. But i have a very good looking theme (NeonGT (with default font)) and i am loving using it. So ik hope MIUI stays as long as they give me the option to disable de proximity sensor.
Miui Fanboy..
I cant say whether Miui steal code.. but for the Sony Xperia x10, I was about to bin this phone.. such a dog of a phone.. until I put TripnRavers Miui onto it..
consequently i sold my iphone 4 that's how much i loved it.
Nearly all android phones can do the same things. Miui just looks sexy, not like its been stuck together with a widget here & there that dont match.. If google could copy the miui notifications area, I'd be happy.

On a personal level, I agree with you completely.
From a development standpoint, though, all work on the device is good for anything. Anything that will bring more people into tinkering with it i'm all for.
(besides - this is how we wean the i-people off those things. They see it on a more powerful Android device and want that instead...but it's really Android. Meantime Android in it's full glory is being ported to and overwriting iOS on iPhones everywhere. Android army advance! lol War of attrition we will win without a doubt. )

Now that's a bit harsh. Miui has been changed drastically since you've probably last tried it. Merged with ics, and perhaps with nova launcher installed, it feels more android than ever. That's not even considering the fact that it's completely customizable. I can't imagine why you'd want to keep miui off of your rom list, considering you only have about 5 or 6 to begin with.
Just about to claim insurance on my busted up g2. I'm expecting a doubleshot within the week. I really hope v4 comes to the mt4gs. I'm currently running it as I write this post, and I guarantee you wouldn't regret it
MIUI rom up. granted that there's a few things that need to be fixed...
And thank you! It's a very nice port, minus the major bug, the keyboard. This rom is so customizable. How could anyone be down on it??? And unlike most of the other roms out there, MIUI themes are top notch! Anyone who has applied the themes knows that it's unrivaled for themes.
Even though we already have a working miui, official miui team is taking poll to make miui for another device official. An official release will mean less bugs and faster updates.

You guys just sit down and relax, i'm totally sure One S will have official support, because almost every above par HTC has it!
I hope we do. but miui tends to keep a lot of older devices and add the newer one later.
but we have a good head start with the unofficial rom, hope they are aware of that.
I find it hilarious and embarrassing how many phones were added to that list more than once...

I will be updating my ROM every week, just like China. It would be done already today, but there was a delay in China. The other thing to realize is if it does go official, it will be based off sense, so the file size will be at least double of what my port is.

That's the way MIUI has been doing all their official v4 releases. It's called patchrom. By doing it that way, they don't have to really on there being a developed aosp base, which can help the roms be released sooner. Downside is the zips are like double the size, and it's not an aosp ROM anymore

Hello all,
I hope your devices are treating you well.
I currently have a Nexus 4, which the support for is slowly dying. Therefore, I need to buy a new well supported phone.
First off, I really like the Mi 4C. However, I fear that it will become obsolete and follow the N4's fate really soon. Is that true?
Second, when I got the N4, I realized that there were some issues that people didn't speak much about such as noise while in phonecalls because of the proximity sensor and some headset buttons not working. Are there any similar - or untold - problems like that?
Finally, some rumors are popping out about the Mi5, do you think its worth the wait?
Any and all answers are appreciated. Thank you.
IMO if you really like vanilla android, fast updates and vast amount of custom ROMs, you will probably gonna miss that on Xiaomi's phone
My last phone was Moto G first gen and my first impression after moving to Xiaomi (MIUI) is that some features from vanilla android are missing on MIUI. I really missed that on the first couple of weeks but I learn to live without that for a few more weeks, had enough and switched to CM12 ROMs
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the hardware. It's just I didn't really like MIUI
I think you should try MIUI first to see if you like it or not and you can always use custom ROMs if you want.

Little things like expanding notifications on the lock screen without pulling notification drawer, task switcher design, inconsistent notification color and overall UI experience is less polished than vanilla android.
It looks like a minor thing but once it's gone I really missed that.
Well MIUI isn't so bad, just a bit different and needs time to get used to. The device seems the best 5' vfm right now. Upon release of kernel sources I'm sure it will get proper dev support too.
Thanks for all your answers.
The way I understand it now is that the device doesn't have proper dev support due to the lack of an open source kernel. Was the release of this kernel a rumor or was it confirmed?
Also, can you guys please answer me about the wait for Mi 5 and the device's hardware issues?
Thanks again

4c is probably the best bang for buck phone you can get now, great specs incl ir blaster, great camera, loud speaker although mono. Only thing keeping it back is kernel sources but that hasn't stopped 2 different cm roms coming on it.
I also came from a Nexus 4 and this is a great upgrade and I expect it have support for 3 years at least.
Mi5 will be great phone with flagship specs so at least wait for the official reveal and prices. If I were in your position I'd probably lean towards the mi5
I just got this Mi-4c a few days ago from a friend. Honestly, I love MIUI. I used to have a ROM with it on my old Motorola Triumph from Virgin Mobile. I think it's amazing with the themes. Pair in different fonts and live wallpapers and I'm in love.
I currently use an iPhone 6s as my primary, have a Note 3 for media, a BlackBerry Z10 just because and a Lumia 640 for the same reason.
I can't wait until my official smart wallet case from Xiaomi comes! I love technology... ^.^

I'm using stock MIUI 7. Luckily I'm pretty familiar with the layout, so I can navigate easily even though everything is in Chinese. I figure if I want to modify, I can always do it. For now though, I'm enjoying it the way it came.
Only thing I've done is get the Playstore and the Google installer. Besides that, I liked the phone as it came.

Yes, it is a pretty neat phone. I actually like MIUI, more than I thought. But it bugs me, that I can't set the DPI. That's actually the only thin preventing me from using MIUI. Also, I can't seem to be able to download Theme or anything from the MI Store.
Did you check if you had any malware installed when you got it? Mine was infected when I got it. I just bought one for my significant other, got it today, and found out that it too was infected, had TWRP installed and Xiaomi.eu as ROM. :silly:

1) Install a terminal emulator
2) Type in "su" and grant Superuser rights
