Desktop icons are looking to much like Iphone.
No go...Sorry not my taste.

running now, i love it so far. just as fast as cm6. i just put up quadrant score of 1453 and 1618 back to back. keep up the good work.

I have this installed and its working great for what it is. As of right now I have a few bugs.
1) SD card & phone storage -> selecting this Force closes on me (not a clue why)
2 ) Home screen also FCs

why the negative feedback as the first poster. just be glad we have devs working to get us a selection of roms for our cdma desire.

Updated OP to new build

Looks good dphase, but please spend the time on the sense rom

I am going to test this out extensively. Thanks dphase.

Great job!! Its amazing! Only thing i have encountered was the camera was "Not installed" along with the calender... but i rarely use either of them Amazing ROM
EDIT: After uninstalling them... they both showed up as working.... Haha, strange. But, disregard my errors

Exact same thing happened to me. It was like the icon was hiding under the other one.

Just found out and about 2 other people have this issue, the notifications light (led) sometimes stays on. I did a reboot and it went away. And yes it wasn't plugged in at the time and I had no notifications.

Ya, my LED stays on constantly now after charging. Just did a reboot. Im going to power it off and try again. Ill post whatever i get.

One more bug that I have found, and is a known issue on other Miui roms I believe.
Setting your Video Camera to 720p will force close, and your unable to use it again until you clear the data/cahce. I believe the guys over at the DInc have fixed this..

this rom is really really sweet. i like it a lot. it runs smooth. some bugs (you already know about them) but i have to say, i got rid of my iphone a few years ago, and havent gone back for a reason. as much as i like this rom, im not down with the UI. that said, here are the things i DID like
dedicated dock at bottom of screen was nice to have again. Home screen editing was really nice actually. I really enjoyed the way that worked. the speed was incredible. spot on with cyanogen. good job so far on this rom dphase. im impressed.

No joke this is the best one all others crash a lot. Keep it up your on the right track.

I like the MIUI roms... they are INSANELY fast to use and goodlooking too... I really like what they did to the lockscreen for one.
But i need my firepower... i got a sense Desire HD rom with quadrant score up to 1800!!!
how insane is that?!

Lets get more people using this ROM, we need to work out the bugs to get this working perfect

I'm liking this except for the lack of screen rotation. Has anyone else had an issue with the camera where it won't let you do anything after taking a picture until you take another picture?

TouchPal keyboard 4.8 beta

this keyboard is the best I've used yet. it's like swype except it learns from it's mistakes and adapts to your typing style.
It's in beta so you can try to get on, or if not search for it you can easily find it.
i highly recommend it!

Here's a video of it in action:

Gotta try it, thanks for the heads up! But if it's buggy, I'll revert back to Swiftkey X.

it isn't buggy at all!! try it for at least an hour to let it learn your typing style, you will be amazed. It never gets a word wrong for me now

Yeah, It's pretty impressive, Hadn't even heard of it before I installed Erickwill's rom, It's pre-installed on that rom as the default keyboard, I wanted to delete it immediately but gave it a few hours & I really like it now & I'm using it

hmm i just looked and I don't think he is using the 4.8 beta, the one listed is the old touchpal without swyping ability

the version reads v4.8.16391
& yes you can swype on, It has touchpal curve, you mean that right?
is it the same version?

I couldn't cope with the auto correction when pressing space bar .. and if i turned that off it wouldn't suggest words for me. Plus the swype was having problems with the word prediction. They are releasing a newer beta for it soon that should fix some of these problem though may have to re-try it again once that comes out.
Back to smart keyboard pro for me

I found I had to give it an hour, and type some "words" out once normally.
Then it learned my style and now it never makes a mistake

Thanks for the tip. Does anyone know what happened to Blindtype? It was supposed to be the next big thing. Haven't heard anything since it was acquired by Google. Check out its videos.

Mi 4C is it worth it?

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:

Why can't you download themes? I use a third party to buy the Mi credits.
I don't see any malware. I could be wrong though, anything I should be looking for?

You can manually chnange the DPI:
1) Install a terminal emulator
2) Type in "su" and grant Superuser rights
3) Type in "wm density YOURDPI"
4) Reboot.
Just replace YOURDPI with the dpi you want, for example 380.

Horizontal multi-multitasking they way they do it sux. Just give me lollipop carousel and MIUI is everything iOS should be but never will be.

Marshmallow or Nougut ??

Hi guys:
Just remind,
why we should update to nougut ????
I mean beside the new UI there are no sig. Changes .
Also, doesnt worth losing the root mods and all cool features of our stable marshmallow rom .

The new gui is no improvement but it DOES have some nice new features like downscaling your resolution to save battery and the screen filter.

i do like the new gui.
third party Always on display with double tap
new way of showing notifications in nougat
for me its a big improvement over marshmallow
I'm using NOva launcher so no idea if the launcher itself has changed

I don't mean to hijack the thread as such, I just don't want to start another thread for a similar question!
Is Nougut beta stable for you guys who have it installed? Very tempted to install it along with a pixel launcher apk
It's been a good 3 years since I last messed with my phone in this way. I miss it!

Stable to a point, it's usable daily, but far from Marshmallow in terms of stability and polish
Things like WhatsApp voice messages have problems with low microphone volume, Camera quality is worse particularly for RAW
Basically you can definitely tell it's unfinished and unoptimised

So I basically use my phone for gaming, phone, text, alarm and social media, occasionally the odd picture.
From what you say, I wouldn't notice anything that's too unstable. Is that correct?
I'm sorry for coming across like a complete noob, because I pretty much am. It's been 3 years (and 3 XDA accounts later!) since I last messed with phones in this way.

Seemed stable enough to do all that for a couple of days for me, although I didn't test the alarm, might want a backup alarm just in case if it's for work

I've used Google pixel edition2.x on my s7 flat almost a week now and im really loving it. Only problem i have is that i lost snapchat in the change, because of security in snapchat app i cant get around to login. For me it doesnt matter but for others it might.

Did any of y'all get sm-g930v update? If so can one of y'all follow the instructions in this thread to revert back to marshmallow with smart switch, and follow these instructions so all of Verizon s7 users can get an update.zip and get in on the nougat action?
First do this: I think if you took the beta update then go back to MM using smart switch you can install the galaxy beta program app and download the beta update again. Can someone that got accepted into the beta program on verizon try please?
Then follow these instructions to capture the ota update.zip

Couldn't resist trying it out. So far running great. Too soon to make any real conclusions at this point though. If it isn't as good as pie at least we can always go back

It's like an Ota... But I wiped anyways and it states that if you opt out of the beta program you'll need to wipe to go back. If you stay in until the beta program ends though it'll just Ota you to the official without needing a wipe

Impressions so far:
- scrolling is noticably smoother, whether it's web pages or news content on the glauncher.
- battery seems to be better than Pie. The standby is definitely better, but I should note that I used a battery recalibration app right after updating (for the first time).
- the device seems to stay cooler under normal load. For whatever reason, it got hot doing some basic things in Pie and the battery life drained quickly.
- no bugs so far, all of my apps still work from what I can tell. Surprisingly stable for a first preview.

I agree, so far its working very well, no problems for me, I used OTA

Works fine, but when i tap on last button in settings "tips and support" app crashes. System-wide "dark" theme is not dark but pure black. Thi is annoying for my eyes, dark grey is much better for me.

Chase mobile app crashes after a couple min. Can anyone confirm the same?

Where is the system wide dark theme?
Enable: adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 2
Disable: adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 1
For now toggle is missing

May be 3 for gray ?

Dark mode is not worth yet. Cant use Google photos. And maybe few other apps which are not discovered yet .
Try battery saver dark mode and check if you can live with google photos (side menu, etc)
If you can then go for it.
Otherwise not even a single crash yet on android Q beta q. Its a good experience so far.
Can be used as Daily driver.

No not your device..., It freezes sometimes like once in a day but see its just a beta 1 i tend to ignore that 1 time a day thing.
And if you think its too buggy then try a clean flash or formatting your device once. It helps.
