Which MIUI Rom?

Which MIUI rom is the "best" for the g2x? I'm a little bored of CM7 and would like to try something else.

Try them all...

Is there a main "official" one? The thing is, I don't know too much about it because I guess XDA doesn't allow it or MIUI doesn't allow it on XDA?

There is jface and whitehawks port so only 2 to choose from.

For me personally I prefer whitehawkx version stems to have all features and everything is stable compared to jface

On whitehawkx right now. No issues whatsoever. This is a stable as I've ever seen an ASOP rom.

I like the rom only reason i switched is mms pics i got were soo little i could hardly see them. I asked in 3 different forums and got no reply.

For users with tiny mms picture problem. Download GO SMS and set it to 1.2 MB and "Preserve Image Size" and you'll get good MMS pics.

Whats the best kernel to use with these roms?

Any cm7 kernel will theoretically work, I used faux though

I know, but miui has a beautiful messaging app, why should we have to use 3rd party bloatware..

I'm using miui4g2x 1.8.19 by jumaaneface
Seems to be a big step in the right direction over the very first MIUI ported ROM I tried.
WiFi Calling would make it perfect. Battery seems to be good.
I'm downloading 1.8.26 by Whitehawx now:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1858&page=45
I'll compare the two and figure out which one I like better. I really enjoy the blue default theme by jumaaneface. I don't think anything has been changed or updated other then using the latest 1.8.26 build (no G2x tweaks).
Update:
I don't really see any framework differences. I don't like the Boot Animation of Whitehawx. The one from jumaaneface had a sweet MIUI boot animation. Whitehawx 1.8.26 has the WiFi Calling app but it isn't seeing my SIM Card (which is the problem they've been having)... so no extra benefit there.
Music isn't FCing on the newer build which is a plus. There is also a DND (Do Not Disturb) app which wasn't in the older rom.
I could be wrong but battery seems to be chewing through the new build. From 8am-2pm I was at 60%. I flashed the new rom and booted up at ~55% and within 2 hours I'm down to 40%.
I did flash 1.8.26 over 1.8.19 so I'm not sure of any apps I carried over, only the new apps and features.
Running stock MIUI with stock kernel and Go Launcher.

Battery is awesome i can last a full work day without having to plug in.

After using it for a few days, I'm pretty disappointed.
1. There's no "all apps" button.
2. No 2g/3g toggle built into toggles.
3. Can't even use PowerControl because you can't change its parameters.
4. Battery life seems worse than Cynogen.
5. When typing in URL, it will randomly close the keyboard.
6. Can't add custom shortcuts.

For starters use Go Launcher. They pair nicely. Else put a folder on the launcher bar and drop all apps in there.
Also use 8.19 because the latest one 8.26 killed my battery.
Why use powercontrol when you have every toggle in the pull down?
8.19 comes with swipe but the stock GB keyboard has a wonky dictionary. The fix is to just download the GB KB from the market and switch to it. It may also solve the hiding keyboard cause I haven't a problem with the market version.
The only downside I've found is that Maps doesn't appear to be intregreted very well with the stock browser. Usually I'll get a pop-up asking to open the link with the actual Google Map app which is easier to use on a mobile.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI Love
Asus TF - Custom 3.2

Whitehawks is great, never tried jumaaneface.

If you're a Wind user in Canada you cannot use whitehawkx MIUI because data does not work. You have to use face MIUI.

Switching back to CM7. MIUI is pretty terrible in my opinion.

miui 1.9.9
whitehawk version 1.9.9

Was using miui 1.9.2 and it ran great with minor issues like my led home lights would shut off and the only way to get them back was from the led setting or reboot. Sometimes my phone would just turn off thinking it was asleep but was actually off. I would have to pull the battery out to turn it back on. I downloaded 1.9.9 but haven't tried yet using weapon g2x 2.5 and so far everything is running smooth with no issues. I had to uninstall tw launcher cause it was force closing now everything is great.

[ROM REVIEW]AOKP V9 Nightly By RHB ROMS Review.

Hey guys i have installed the AOKP v9 Nightly By RHB ROMS custom JB rom on my Gfit.I have reviewed the ROM here
AOKP V9 Nightly By RHB ROMS Review.(GALAXY FIT GT S 5670)
I have installed the custom Rom by RHB roms on my Galaxy Fit last week.I used a lot of apps and games on it and also tried different settings to suit my self.I found that this ROM is very stable considering the other Roms which hang and reboot my phone frequently.
The Rom gives the amazing Android 4.1.2 OS UI and feel.It has many pros and quite a few Bugs.
Some bugs can be over comed by using alternate apps but some are really irritating .
Read the full post to see what bugs are involved and how i tried to cure them.
Pros:
1)Lots of Android 4 apps work smoothly.
2)Stable-Does not hang frequently.
3)Gives lots of settings to suit your liking.
4)Changes your UI completely with amazing JB styled status bar and toggles.
5)new widgets that would not work on GINGERBREAD.
6)Comes with a Preinstalled Music player called Walkman.(preety good)
7)The old screenshot shortcut (HOME+POWER) does'nt work BUt downt worry they have provided and onscreen shortcut for taking screenshots of your phone
GO to settings>Rom Control>Power Menu and Enable the Show Screenshot option.Then long press power buton and select screen shot for taking picture of your current screen.
8)Cool power off animation.
Cons:
1)Major fault-GOOGLE apps not working .I tried to install the Playstore app.But i could'nt use it because it did not open up.I thought it might be a problem with the package so i tried downloading from a different place but still the same thing.The next thing i tried was to go to the Google play website and download from there directly,that too didnt work.
Alternative: I had to depend on the 3rd party websites like The 1Mobile Market.or the 4Shared app to download apps and games.
Another Google app that i installed is Google maps.That worked but it showed me somewhere in the Indian ocean while i was sitting cozily in my bedroom in India.
2)Camera app : The preinstalled camera app is faulty.The video mode is extremely slow.I tried to Use a different camera application like the Camera 360 but that turned out to be faulty troo.
Finally the Pro capture application worked properly for still photos.
I could not find an alternate app for Video recording.
3)INTERNET ON/OFF-I had problem in enabling the internet connection directly from toggle.Every time i have to go to the settings and enable the data.SOme times this too did not work.Them i have to go to the Mobile networks settings and try searching for network.
(NOTE:This may be my carrier problem.)
4)Some minor app crashes.
5)Does'nt come with the navigation bar if you dont have root access.
Overall i liked the Rom .If the developer colud eliminate the above bugs it would be absolutely perfect.
6)Gallery takes time to update if pics are copied from pc to SD card.
7)SOme apps take time to start.
_________________________________________________________________________
EDIT 22/3/2012:
I am experiencing frequent reboots since i installed the n7music player and also astro file manager takes time to load.Some apps take time to load.The Cut the rope game also crashes and runs very slow.
I think i have to try another ROM
________________________________________________________________________
I have covered all the details pros and bugs of the ROM in the review.PLease have a look and tell me if anyone of you have tried that ROM and found a solution to the bugs.
Thanks in Advance.:laugh:

So far , and for me,( this is a personal evaluation) the best JB experience its con cm10.1 of erikcas, still have some memory issues so demanding apps wont run as usual or fc, camera works fine and also link2sd so no space problem, and it have gapps preinstalled so dont wipe data after install.

Not bad
It worked pretty much fine for me other than the occasional reboot when i turn on/off my WiFi. Camera worked fine :good:
Waiting for a final release

Full stock Base 3.19.401.1 - lag alert

If you are using a full stock 3.19.401.1 ROM like this one and suffering from sudden unexplained lag, I've found the reason
7 digital seems to suddenly activate in the background and wreck havoc to the JB smoothness, it won't go away until restart
it also won't appear in task manager, so go to manage apps > running apps and you will probably see it there
you will need to disable to get rid of it's evil and then back to locked JB 60fps
if you are using a custom ROM based on 3.19.401.1, your ROM chef most likely have removed this useless app

Very good friend! You the man! :fingers-crossed:

i disable it on last stock Rom 3.18 and my phone looks faster ....
7 digital is the problem ?
My phone looks faster when i disable it ... its a useless program ... lol

In my opinion, I consider it bloatware and is on my cleaning list

Girlfriend ROM

Hi,
I'm getting an OPO for my girlfriend. What ROM should I flash on it or should I just go with stock?
Stability is the most important, since she's coming from an iPhone 4s and she hates 'ERRORS'

If she hates error then don't go for opo. It comes with bunch errors and all are free. [emoji12]

Install Sultanxda's ROM on her phone. It's been (for me) by far the most stable that fixes many OnePlus-specific bugs, such as all the Camera faults (Snapchat flash, double-exposure on flash, better at focus).
Do a clean install with TK GAPPs, depending on how much stuff she wants on it.
Install Google Camera; it's been the least buggy for me, and it just works. CameraNextMod is a bit wonky on this ROM due to its modified OxygenOS camera libs (which are superior to CM's). ColorOS camera is also a bit wonky. The Snapdragon Camera that comes with Sultanxda's ROM is kind of inconvenient to use, but works pretty well if you look past its user-unfriendliness.
Install Android System Webview and disable the AOSP webview.
Install Google Keyboard (or another if she has a preference) over the AOSP one.
Install Google Messenger over AOSP MMS.
Enable Developer options(tap 'Build Number' in About Phone multiple times) and scroll down, set Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale all to 0.75x
Install Nova Launcher and use it over Trebuchet, set Scroll Speed to "Fast" in Look & feel in the settings.
Good to go.

I'll be here first line support. I my self uses Boeffla and Nightly Exodus, but do not think she would be happy with daily updates of here phone.

Then dont update it daily, if you dont need to. Its perfectly fine to keep running a nightly if its stable and doesn't have any major bugs. You can always set it to check for updates monthly or not at all. If you're running it also you can be the tester and only update when you have found it to be running ok.

I've not had a single error or issue with 100% stock CM12S so I'd suggest you just leave it as it is

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into the Sultanxda Rom. Did not find the ROM thread with a search though.
I'm leaning to have the same setup that I got myself. 241 Modem, cm12.1 Exodus and color os cam.

Miui 12.5 is it good?

hey guys!
I was wondering if anyone got the hands on the new version of MIUI to know if they fixed all those bloatware apps and ads and if the battery and performance was improved?
I am on Arrow OS and by far is the one stable of any roms out there.
Thanks!

I'm on the latest MIUI 12.5.2 India ROM.
I'll give you pros and cons.
Pros.
1: Everything is extremely smooth now. No frame drops in UI, animations are way faster and actually consistent and smooth.
2: New UI for volume panel and other small areas.
3: I've never had any ads on any of my Poco devices, so no idea what you talking about.
4: Bloatware is still there depending on which region you choose, I chose UK and most of the bloat is actually from Google. Most of it is removable but not all.
5: Battery life is significantly better.
6: RAM management is absolutely perfect now.
Cons
1: Notifications and panel are extremely buggy. Manual fixes need to be made by downloading many system APK.
2: Still no choice to use third party launcher with gestures. (Maybe it's Google limitation or MIUI I don't know.)
That's about all I can think of for now.
