Soo.. I know the title isn't very specific.. but I would like to throw a question in here and get some responses..
So.. WHAT excatly is MIUI compared to other ROMs?
To me, MIUI is "just" plain (AOSP?) Android with every single "GO"-App available. GO Launcher, GO SMS.. and so on.
So.. what does MIUI exactly have, that e.g. CM with every app changed to some GO-App doesn't have?
MIUI is skinned to kinda "copy" Iphone-style..sure.. but is that really all?
Benchmarks show there are some differences..
So I wonder what's left of MIUI if you install a MIUI based ROM and change any GO-App to another one?
________
'Cause most ppl say they love MIUI for how it looks like. But honestly.. I could also use stock Android with e.g. Motoblur and change the launcher and so on.. so why going through the hassle to root and install a completely new ROM?
Ty everyone
And yes, I used the search, but didn't find anything relevant.. maybe because "MIUI" & "GO" are a liiiiittle bit vague
We need to know the history. MIUI just want to be like IOS, but in the Android enviroment. AOSP is just a plain OS, CM was loaded witb tons of tweaks but the UI not that eyecandy. HTC? Good but too dark to be like IOS and bloated. So MIUI with the UI mimic IOS with slight modification came. For me it is another CM with the stress more on UI.

Ps sorry for bad English
Wasn't the first MIUI ROM was found accidently? IIRC, the dev passed away and his work was found and released. Maybe I'm thinking of something else?

A renaissance artist perhaps? MIUI is developed by a Chinese team and someone came across it and started translating it.
There's plenty of info and screenshots etc. over at http://www.miui-dev.com which is the site run by the translating team.
Essentially it does largely look to be making Android more iOS-like. It's based on FroYo AOSP (Gingerbread soon) but with a _lot_ of alterations. It shares a little bit of code with CM as far as the addins.
In my opinion MIUI is the first Android Distro because it proposes a completely different way of Android where other ROMs are just forks.
Miui is the simple face of ios with the power of android.

MIUI has the most powerful and easiest theme engine..I really wish it was open source so others could use the theme engine..Its really that nice and simple to use..such a shame..
MIUI is so much better then stock android:
here's a list of apps that avalible only on miui:
Monitor (let you block apps and see how much data you have used)
Theme manager (no more zip's, really easy to theme stuff)
Better mms app
file mamanger
Miui gallery and camera
miui music
special lockscreen - much better the stock
folders - better the stock
quick settings on the notification bar
better phone app
easier to use setting's
miui wheater (avalible for all now)
some widgets like conatcs and etc...
if you chineese you can use the update app which auto update your phone to the latest version.
battery monitor
and much more that I might forgot
I'll go ahead and toss my two cents in...
Simple version-- I rooted my phone about 6 weeks ago, I flashed several roms in the first two days. (Cyanogen, Mikfroyo, Myns) Then I flashed MIUI. That was the last time I flashed a rom...
(If you want to know more, PM me and I'll give you the L O N G version of why MIUI is the best in my opinion)
Not a single one of the "GO" apps I've heard of including the two your mentioned are a part of MIUI. The post above me outlines a lot of the features but there is also so much more. I just discovered a feature the other day I never realized was there.
Try it, if you don't like it, NANDROID!! Make sure to grab yourself a few themes off of the MIUI forum. Again, I've installed one theme since I flashed MIUI ignoring the other 100 simply because what I have, Elite HD by bustadroid, is the best damn theme (period)
I just started to use Miui Camera for my Milestone today. Awesome fast!
Maybe can someone compile a list of Miui's apps and post links here?

MIUI isn't open source?? Why the heck did they do that? :-/
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

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.

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

Nexus Redefined- Final version.
Ok, guys time for the final version of this rom. Before that let me give thanks to you all. Its now proven that this rom is one of the best roms for our device, and this is possible only because you people liked the rom. Since previous two versions were almost perfect, i made a little change in this version. Hopefully u dont have to flash anything for bug fixing or camera. I now have very limited access to my phone since i have upgraded to Galaxy Nexus, the moment i created this version, i flashed it and checked the major features like camera, GPS, wifi etc. Seems fine to me, there should not be any further issue with it now. So here i present u Nexus Redefined rom.
Changelog:
Rebase the rom with Repacked version of Nexus V2.1 made by Stas2z. Big thanks to him for some bug fixing and liking my rom.
Radio is now updated.
Updated Apollo music player and CM file explorer. Now no lag while opening files.
Removed Stock android music player and Music Fx.
Added CM DSP manager- it should give some sound boost.
Pure Audio MoD.
Many init.d tweaks like- zram,sqlite,zipalign etc.
Adobe flash player added for viewing flash enable web sites.
Stock full functioning camera, no need to change built.pro or use previous files.
Fixed uninstalling giving FC
Almost full Developer option, you can enable or disable HW coposer, enable MSA tweak etc.
3 shortcut lockscreen- unlocking, Google search and Camera.
CM lockscreen widget and Dash clock widget to choose from, no icons in the app drawer for CM widget like before.
Removed HOLO launcher, Only Stock Android Launcher is used.
Added a small alternative market for some secret apps not available in playstore- fdroid.
Changed the bootanimation to latest Google bootanimation from Google edition of Galaxy S4. Thanks Shubham Jain for XoloLiquid rom.
3G active sim card switcher
AMOI factory mode translated
ro.init.no_sim_missing_notify build.prop parameter added to disable notification about sim card not inserted

Thanks for ur opinion. Actually its my first cook. and i m searching for the resources to have it look like pure vanilla nexus. i have also discussed this matter with some pals. but it seems there are not so many people at this moment willing to work on it. Besides the resources to make a complete nexus like rom is limited too. and i m not a dev. just a rom cooker. i have been asking devs for their help regarding this matter. Since its MTK 6589, its really very hard to have compile even if u have complete sets or rersources. I had a talk with Brajesh, and i m a big fan of his work. Ultimate V2 is very good rom. thanks for pointing me out the issues, i will try to do my best that is within my reach.
and for the benchmark, i checked Antutu and Quadrant, on first run it scored 13111 on antutu and almost 4000 on quadrant, something like 3983. next time when i did intalled some apps antutu scored 13093. and this rom has no sound issue like xolo stock rom.
if u have some source of Nexus goodies like phone app and the other things u mentioned plz pm me. i will try to include them in next version. and yes its a ported rom, and thats why its hard to have complete nexus feel. if there were any way to built it from source, it would have been much easier. altough currently the kernel source is out, but it still lacks some vital files that is required to have fully functional custom kernel. Untill then, i dont see any hope for USB OTG. and next version will be a bare bone one, i will not include any 3rd party app on it.
one last thing mate, if u know a very good themer who is willing to work for our device, plz ask him to Join our group on facebook. Coz i dont think there is much hope without a good themer building a complete nexus like rom.
Thanks for the feedback again.
hey, firstly im glad u bothered to reply, just um taking care of the stuff in BOLD letters, woulda been enough, yeah i now its a mt6589 and making/porting aint easy, i tried pushing nexus 4 system apps, such as phone and contacts into our phones, but. dint really work out, i think its proly because of the different hardware relating to dual sim functionality, however u could try this, holo launcher is free and looks more stock than all other launchers, we already use the normal android 4.2 icons so those look stock, a black background for settings and other system apps, and no third party apps on a fresh ROM, these few stuff would give ur ROM a proper 4.2 stock vanilla look. im not a developer but i believe u can somehow give access to the developer options in settings... like force rendering en all. i already see ur half way there, there are pie controls in ur browser, there the nexus 4.2 camera, also. if u havent already included, throw the stock keyboard away replace with the actual 4.2 keyboard with gesture input http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663 .. for audio make sure the phone sounds as good as ultimate v2 rom, the acid audio engine and some tweaks in the engineering mode helps increase volume also its easy to use Cyanogen Mod's Player, their file manager also in-cooperates holo theming and looks really stock.. all of these u can get from xda pages. i could help with links if u want, for theming, could be clear of what sort u want, cause we already have a vanilla looking status bar, notifications, icons n stuff.. i mean our framework is already vanilla themed. nexus 4 wallpapers, roms, are all over the internet in case u need em for anything, with ur current ROM, and with the stuff above.. WERE NEARLY THERE. stock JB 4.2 clean NEXUS experience thanks to u
luv ur work , thanks for the ROM mate

Thank u for the encouragement bro. i have gathered some of the required resources. i just need to change the bakcground settings to black like brajesh's rom. His base rom is also very good, but i preferred this base because of multilanguage support and ofcourse it doesnt show the ugly 'G' mark. now come to the point. if u have anything in mind u want me to include in it, u can give me a list and it will be great if u provide the link also. next version, i will be using 2 launchers, Stock Google launcher and Holo launcher. so that users can choose. i also tried to push the dialer and phone apks into the system, but it force closes. i dont know how to fix this. may be its beacuse this rom is still deodexed. and about the music player, i m planning to use stock android music player and also i dont know why u liked Cyanogen file manager. btw, i will look into it. For sound enhancement, i decided not to include ACiD mod, instead i will add 'PureAudio' Mod, i already tried it and it works very good. mean while will add some built.prop and init.d tweaks. thanks for the feedback. i m glad u liked my work.

dont know brother. u can try my addons. use Fly on Mod according to the tutorial of original thread. it has many pluggins like balanced, multitasking, gaming. use gaming pluggins. this might help a bit. and make sure u dont turn on auto brightness while plying these 2 games. Auto brightness in this device is a bit restless. it tries to adjust brightness too quickly and thats why lags sometimes. setting brightness manually will solve this issue i think.

ROM FEEDBACK
Rating: 8/10!.. first ROM to have complete feel!
hey been using your ROM for a while, love the stock vanilla looks, and every basic function works well, has a complete feel.
what i like the most.. full developer options with shortcut to engineering mode, 4.2 features except cam
ISSUES:
android 4.2 default camera app with photosphere seems to be crap, photos taken are dark n bad... when compared to the stock camera app and the one in ultimate v2 rom (that was the best) solution : NONE.. i tried putting camera2.apk from ultimate v2 rom in system/app, and setting right permission but app doesnt show up.... SO I NEED UR HELP HERE. PLEASE tell me how to add that camera app instead of the one in ur ROM. thanks
gaming is stuttery ..not smooth on TEMPLE RUN 2, OZ and SUBWAY SURFERS (solved by enabling disable HW overlays option on developer options... however this option must be turned on every time the phone restarts) also UI more smooth after turning HW rendering... with these changes, gameplay is super smooth and unparalleled. PLEASE tell me a way to automatically turn on disable hw overlays option.
init.d folder is there, but flashing stuff like scripts from cwm which add scripts.. dont work, u have to manually put the scripts in place, like the fly on mod flashing failed... didnt do anything.. because scripts dont get added to init.d (solved by manually putting scripts in folder and setting permission)'
about phone shows galaxy nexus. woulda liked XOLO Q800
other minor bugs, phone or call button in dialer seems slightly dislocated or wrongly alligned,
woulda liked es file explorer over cm file manager ..also as for apollo, and cm file manager u used very early slow, pre-historic versions, these apps have been updated and made speedy, anywy thats not a issue...
PLEASE RESPOND, main priority ... is the camera problem how do i use gallary2.apk from ultimate v2 rom, (system/app ... right permissions tried already) instead of the current cam app. it sucks.
THANKS, sincere fan of urs
Regards...

Thanks for liking my rom. about the Camera, i have uploaded Stock Camera with necessary files also built.prop editing TUT. Plz check OP, they are all included in the 2nd post. i was getting way too many complaints about nexus camera and had to upload the stock ones. I tried the method written by myself and camera with gallery works perfectly fine. and About init.d, i dont know but flashing fly on mod worked on mine, i use TWRP recovery. and i agree cm file manager is slow, i collect it from XDA somewhere and some guys ported it. dont know without port it will work or not. will try it. and about ticking HW overlay everytime, i have no working solution for it for now. i noticed it on every rom that has complete developers options.
shuvo_bd used your second post tutorial got camera working but gallery force closes when i press menu > edit button or 3 circle edit icon says "unfortunately,the process com.android.gallery3dhas.stopped" ... followed ur instructions... perfectly, deleted the correct apks, set permissions, deleted correct lib files.. still." help, thanks.
