Hello fellow XDAers,
I am waiting for MIUI 9 to drop so we can pull that into the kitchen and cook. I am going to attempt to work with the new system, I haven't ported anything after Jellybean. So with that, I wanted to see who was on-board to potentially want to try MIUI.
Two things; One - I am not saying I am for sure going to be successful, but I will try. 2; MIUI 9 release date is expected to be end of May or early June 2017.
Feel free to have a discussion of MIUI here, I will also use this thread for small updates in regards to MIUI.
--- Small Post Update ---
MIUI 9 ?
Here is a small list of features to potentially look out for in the new version of MIUI. This is a leap forward into Nougat from MIUI 8.
Multi-window support
Quick-reply from notifications
Optimised dose mode
RAM optimization
Improved data saver
Always-on VPN
Call screening feature
Dual space feature
Dual apps
I have honestly never once run a MIUI ROM. Im not quite the flashaholic i used to be (especially now, as finicky as the v20 seems to be), but i could be game for flashing it a few times to kick the tires, see how it rolls.
Am i to understand that it does not have a home screen/app drawer for stock launcher ala iOS? it does retain androids ability to change launchers?
Is there anything "must see" on MIUI? ...not so much eye candy·· I don't care about bling so much, im all about that utility.

Hello! We have all been there with the flashaholic syndrome. It's a fortunate disease ? the V20 is a unit that is quite more finicky than most, but surely not the worst.
Initially, this will be a project starting off with the 918 and working into other variants as I relearn Android and what the new systems look like. It is a launcher that emulates that of an iOS landscape. Yes, you still have all of the ability of changing launches, etc. Must "see" would be animations, style, small 'functionality' pieces like that of the battery bar rather than a battery icon and so on.
It's more or less a eye candy piece of OS rather than something slim, although it is still smaller than a factory image. More "bloated" than a aosp rom but still functions greatly under the right environment.

I have attempted MIUI 8 but there are too many differences in the framework(MM vs N) to patch correctly. I was going to patch 9 in once it releases but if you want it you can have it.
Last time I had miui is when i ported it to the skyrocket in the jellybean era. Would love to see it again. Back when porting ROMs was simple

Collaboration is better when its on big projects. something like miui wont need a collab. Now if you do get stuck then sure ill certainly help.
Would love to have someone seriously try to get a stable Miui going. Ran it back in my old Droid X days and really enjoyed it. Good luck and I hope you can do it.

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.

Well this beta will the first EVIDENCE of the existance of Lollipop for Mate 7...
oh my god this frustrating just release it now please.. I am desperate for some performance increase and better GUI speed...
It gets more and more frustrated, the frustrating has been freezed earlier cause I have been amazed by the big screen experience and good screen, but now when I am used to it I am more frustrated with the slow performance and multi tasking.. I know most people will not notice it but if you work fast and switch between apps fast constantly you get frustrated... Lollipop hopefully improve some things.
The people who do not demand better speed they just use their phone slow, and do not notice the lag.. the lag is for me noticeable.
I assume you already tried changing the power saving mode, considering the default one isn't optimized for performance...
Also lowering the animation scale in the developer options.
Hi guys,
I trust Huawei are sure that by May the new firmware release LP.

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:

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.

Someone who likes to tinker with his phone this phone is abit useless to me considering there are no custom ROMs existing.

Pie in general is useless but in this phones case I'm hoping it brings the changes I need

Yeah that is certainly true what you say, ambient display been able to function in a custom ROM is quite useful indeed. I hope it too, to have custom ROMs available to flash and use. It would be awesome.

Well if 8.1 was perfect then they wouldn't have needed to make 9.0
But then 9.1 will likely be out a bit after 9.0 so 9.0 is already assumed to be imperfect (but then nothing ever is truely perfect is it ).
The assumption is that each update builds and improves on the previous one. So if there is something new that the teams of people who develop android have built and I can get it for free then why not have it?
But I do get what your saying, it's not like there's anything wrong with 8.1 on our device at the moment.
It's hardly a big deal If we get it in 30 minutes or 30 days... we're still getting it :laugh:

Very true. And maybe the camera update will make it a thing worth waiting for.

With the Changes of Pie they could just say 8.2.
But that wouldn't sell "that well".
They are lifting the major version insanely quick for very little features...
Back with Android 4, they did just add .1, but 1.
Damn annoying of you ask me.

I do find it odd how quickly it went from 4 to 9!
assuming they want to get to android 11 to be one ahead of windows then 13 quickly to be ahead of ios!

Google working on Fuchsia... I don't think so.
But let's see how long Android will be a thing at all.

Man you "sound" like we have an unusable phone in our hands with the firmware we run to the date. I believe it's as good as any other phone out there. Having pie as soon as possible it's just a whim.

Aptx doens't work? isnt there an option in Dev-Settings to force Atpx? And a Magisk Module to place the required libs for?
