Just a heads up. Have always been a fan of xScope Browser but gave it up for a while as the new xScope 6 seemed buggy to me.
Not sure what has changed with recent updates, but the latest version is FAST, really really FAST. Also, lots of cool features. Anyway, check it out in the market. The bookmarking feature takes a little getting used to as it uses HTML to represent bookmarks, but I'm sure that is one reason it is so fast - less overhead. When working with bookmarks, the controls for how they appear are on the bottom of the page. You can do icons, lists, etc...
Also, it has tabs and if you press and hold a tab, all kinds of cool options appear.
Tried it, slow. Im running calkulins 1.6.1 and its about 4 times faster than xscope. Are you rooted ? It is faster than a stock ego but in my opinion its not even close to rooted.

Isn't calkulin a rom? xScope is a browser. How can you compare the two?
He means that the default browser in caulkins is better then xscope

I m using Xscope 6.21 and I am unable to view /data/ folder using its folder view. Though I can see all apks in /system/app. Is it supposed to not show data folder?
I've always been a fan of xscope, it has great media download options and a nice simple ui. Latest update supports themes, so expect for nice themes to be rolling out like the older versions. I think its built based off the stock browser just with some extra features.

Yeah the stock browser in calkulins new rom is faassst, I thought cyanogen and miui were fast but they don't even compare. Im a little off topic so my bad.
Is it possible to change the default google search from international to local(Aus)?
anyone flashed? I'm running fine arhd, but I want also try new miui...
first impressions? faster? good looking? anything working?
Very fast, no fc so far, no random reboot
Themes are working..
how you flash it??
which firmware (i think 3.32)?
Want to try but servers from miui.com are slow as hell.....
woohoo !! excited Waiting for Galnet version tho.
Used V4 on the SGS when it was unstable, i loved it. Been a galnet user for ong time, so my loyalty lies with him.

Should be. It's using the official sense ics that HTC released.

Haven't really dug to much into the rom today (working) but a few things in no particular order:
1. Turning off wallpaper scrolling (Launcher settings > wallpaper scroll type) helps Launcher lag but doesn't alleviate completely.
2. Android keyboard will continue to crash until you go in and manually change default input to "touch input"
3. Some market errors.
4. New lockscreen for v4 miui is neat and not completely translated in this version (functionally fine).
5. Comes "overclocked" to 1.5.
6. Gps locked in about 10 seconds, first time.
Plus than miui, is a desensed miui skinned!
The miui framework is the only real miui thing in the rom
Radiofm, camera,keyboard and some settings are sense
So far it's alright. A bit sluggish and since this is my first MIUI, it's kinda odd, no app drawer, different icons, etc...
There are some chinese characters on the lockscreen, but the UI looks uber slick.
Feels a lot like an iPhone, in terms of restrictions.

I believe that's one of the main points of MIUI is the iPhone feel. However it does have some neat features built-in and the organization is slick and tidy.
My favorite is you can record your calls in the phone app.

Will have to check that out. It is a bit annoying having all your apps on screen. There's no way to hide them, unlike in the iPhone via SBSettings, or is there?
The launcher is a bit sluggish, but it's pretty stable to be used daily. Battery Indicator doesn't work, that sucks.
this is my MIUI v4

You can create a folder and then put all your apps in it to make an "App Drawer".

That's not much of help. The whole reason of an app drawer is for organizational purposes. It consists of two tabs, Applications & Widgets.
Nonetheless, my experience with MIUI v4 has been great. I've noticed that after several reboots (done purposely) the chinese characters translate themselves, I guess rebooting sets most things fine. The lock screen however still has some chinese. There are some Sense elements here and there, the keyboard, copy & paste functions but it's fine. I personally prefer it over any keyboard even AOSP. Videos play fine. As for the launcher, set the transition effect to [Classic (no overshoot)] for a smoother swipe between home screens.
I've attached a screenshot
so i updated to the 4.0 leak and so far its been great but the thing that bothered me the most is the crappy EQ that comes built into google music and the fact that samsung is still using the same old crappy gallary from 2.x! so i replaced them with the stock 4.0 gallery and the DSP manager from cm9 and they work perfectly!
just use root explorer to move the 2 .apks to /system/app than reboot
oh and if you want you can disable the samsung gallery so you wont have to deal with that crappy thing
edit: so i couldn't get the stock ics camera working as a system app but you can go ahead and install it as a user app, the only problem i'm having is the video camera crashes a lot
Great thank you, I love the ICS gallery.
I was wondering also if you could find the native ICS camera app , I would love to replace the samsung one.
Thanks again

Just tried out the stock camera from my transformer on cm9 and my skyrocket went black, vibrated a lot and crashed you could try camera ics+ or w/e is called, its in the play store but its a bit laggy on mine
Edit: I'll try and get the camera from my moms atrix on cm9, I'm not giving up that easily!
Thanks, but don't bother I have several camera apps but I saw some picture of the Vanilla ICS camera app and it looked great.
to late lol
thanks, works great (except video). I really don't understand why Samsung is keeping the old version
They did the same thing when they updated the original galaxy s to gingerbread, they're just trying to get use to buy the sgs3 when it comes out :/

Thanks! will test shortly. Update: All seem to work, Some parts of the new camera app I like, others not so much, like I can't disable shutter sounds, or tell it to save to my external SD card, whats up with that? The gallery is alright, they added a nice editor with instagram like effects which is cool and easy sharing. Though they removed the contrast/brightness/saturation sliders, which I liked. Everything seems to be a give and take :/
Edit 2: The new gallery allowed me to make scrolling backgrounds work again! WOOHOO.
Any other apps from ICS worth getting? or ICS specific apps from the market?
also, maybe you'd know, anyway to theme the top notification bar to be blue like standard ICS not white/green like GB?
Can anyone get the mms apk for the messaging app?

I haven't really been working on getting more stock ics apps but I know that the movie editor works and I'm gonna try to get some more apps when I get home, BTW I'm not a themer(yet) so I can't change the status bar :/
How do I get those black and white pictures of random dots to work into something useful?
So what happened to the wallpaper option?? I re-flashed my charge with the office froyo build. This then updated to gingerbread and then the new radios unlock screen. And now when I go pick a new wallpaper, I don't get the multi option anymore. Just a single cut out and it looks like utter .
I really hate this phone.
Samsung changed the Gallery app in the FP1 update. Not sure why they did it, but it was a common complaint after the update. If you're rooted and have the old Gallery app, you can replace it and reboot. You can also download an alternative gallery app from the Market, like Gallery ICS.
The Tweaked ROM also contains the old Gallery as an option.
example.
Like I said, Samsung changed the Gallery app in FP1. Change the Gallery app to the old one or get a different one that supports it and you'll get the widescreen wallpaper option again. No other way to do it.

Thank you very much! The Gallery app from ICS totally worked. It is the little things that make using this phone a bit more enjoyable.

Remove facebook,twitter and all social stuff. Plus remove finance. If you remove the LG launcher,then install atleest a fast one instead. I think go-launcher slows down the phone badly. TSF would be cool Its the smoothest launcher i ever used.
One does not simply send from a XDA-app.
The 3Dmax launcher is smooth and does barely use any ram.

hi richard711,
it will really be difficult to please every one here. someone will want facebook, someone wont want facebook, as an example. however, please keep the ROM to a bare minimum so that each one can download whatever he or she pleases from the market or elsewhere (like gapps, facebook, twitter, LGWorld etc)
tweaks in the 3D cams for pics and videos will be very highly appreciated.
Appreciate the fact that you are trying to make a real "People's ROM."
Best of luck and may your tribe increase!
schubeir
Performance with no extra softwares that no one uses ever in SU 760 would be heavenly
The best idea is:
REMOVE ALL BLOATWARE FROM LG.
and slim it up as much as possible(like cm)
but still having the 3d features.
Make it AOSP style.

but If its was cyanogen type rom one that has constant working wi-fi
all versions CM7 that came out so far just don't have wi-fi that would stay on even if the screen went off
Guys, please don't ask for USB-OTG.
It's kernel related and unless he states he works on kernels, it won't be implemented in the ROM.
Keep lg social +

I'd agree with the idea to remove all unnecessary apps, so that users may determine for themselves what apps they want to install;
IMO the rom should have Xloud Mod and it'd be great if it could record video without stuttering ;D (impossible as it seems, however acting on XBSA advice I installed a v20g based rom and it seems to have almost no stuttering)
social feed widget for sure
es filer and tasker
ti backup
and if you can remove the ringtone size limiter
Remove everything that can be downloaded from the play store so the user can choose what they want on their device. Remove as much useless LG system stuff that does not benefit the user. Very good ram management. A nice launcher (3D Max). Very smooth, snappy, and stable.
i wnt:
Removed Xloud and Beats Audio ROM. If somebody want it, install via .zip file.
Some new interface, new status bar, new features in setting, etc.
A music player that doesn't skip! Maybe try to integrate cm7 music player and dsp manager.
