MIUI: MIUI is developed by Xiaomi Tech, is an aftermarket firmware for android phones based on Android Open Source Project (AOSP). It features a very modified UI that (similar to iOS) does not have an app drawer, instead all of your apps are just on the home screens. It can easily be compared to TouchWiz and iOS in some ways. The rom has additional functionality that can not be found in many roms such as sense and some AOSP roms; These include toggles in the notification bar, a new music app, a new gallery, new camera, and a "Smart Dialer" similar to Sense's. No phones come stock with MIUI accept for the Xiaomi MI-One.
AOSP: Stock, pure android. No overlays like Sense, TouchWiz, MotoBlur, etc. There are many phones that come stock with AOSP, and the most popular is the nexus line. Many (including myself) prefer AOSP because it is generally faster and simpler, the way Google intended.
My favorite part of MIUI is how it is almost like inverted android. As we all know, android 4.0's colors are black and blue, but Miui 4 has white and orange, which can be kind of refreshing.
My favorite part of AOSP is how fluid and nice it looks and feels.
Pros (AOSP):
- Fast
- Light
- Need I say more?
Cons (AOSP):
- No Gapps stock (flash them second)
- Sometimes can be missing functionality or customization
- Thats all I can think of
Pros (MIUI):
- New UI (pro for some people)
- Lots of customization and functionality
- Much more (for some)
Cons (MIUI):
- Special gapps (and no gapps stock)
- Can be CHINESE!!!
- Generally slower than AOSP
- Sense based and AOSP based versions

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask

I'm currently loving Sense 4.0, but if you're interested in messing with roms you really should give MIUI a try. As long as you do a nandroid backup first, there's really nothing you can lose other than a little time.
As I said, I'm digging Sense for now, but on my g2x I was almost always using MIUI. Some people think its too much like iOS, but you can always install a different launcher. It has more customization options than any other type of rom that I know of. I would love to be able to use their statusbar toggles with other roms.

AOSP JB recent apps style on Sense based rom?

is there a possible mod for it?
I'm running CleanROM 5.0 ( best for me, I love viper xl but i have horrible battery life with it)
I really like the original recent apps styles, shows more apps and more efficient, they have this on viper xl sense rom.
plus, on some aosp rom, there's a kill all button. Which is really useful for me.
I can't use aosp rom because I have horrible network when using them.
I've tested all aosp rom.
So Same questions.
Is there more ways that I can DESENSE the rom as much as I can?

[Q] Fave rom?

Seems like "what's the best rom" is not a helpful question...not even "what's the best rom for battery life/speed/etc" because there are too many variables and people use their phones differently under different conditions.
So, I'd like to know - what's your favorite rom is for the Photon Q, and why?
My favorite is CM 11, because of speed and because swipe-down status bar & tiles are super useful. It's also updated frequently, so hopefully I can get more out of the phone as time goes on.
Thoughts?

i like the mokee rom most, i tryed it because its the only rom for xt897 that support REAL multi-window
the new love was born. there are much features and better then in cm. an other part i love is the lockscreen notification
u can use the black ActiveDisplay feature like moto x. but the accu prefomance is also great. there is nothing i miss.
its really the best only the update function suck ;D
there are constant updates its on 4.4.4 jbbl

I updated to MIUI 13 and since then performance in games has become really bad for some reason.
I have tried 2 custom ROMs, Octavia and Arrow OS, but I don't see any type of AOD customization. (The games run well on there though)
What I really want to know, is there a way to save an AOD from MIUI and put in back on in a different ROM?
I tried installing MIUI themes app where you download the AOD themes from, but it doesn't run as it is obviously missing dependencies on the custom roms

What kind of AOD customization would you like to see? In my opinion AOD on custom ROMs is sufficient, simple yet informative enough (time, date, alarm, battery and notifications).
You can always try third-party app for AoD, but whichever I tried before, it didnt meet my expectations
Never heard of MIUI AoD extracted and I dont think it's possible...

Question Which ROM is more suitable?

I just want QS background follows Light/Dark theme, some systemUI tweak features, and no pxiel launcher.
I hesitate between nameless, pex, evox and stag OS.

All much the same, I am currently using nameless, but it's really just personal preference. I feel nameless is very stable right now for daily use not sure about the other roms,. Funnily enough I've never used the stock rom mainly because of the bloatware.
