Can someone point be in the right direction on how to get swype for the hd2 running android?
yes i would like to know too im not used to typing im used to swyping
http://www.mediafire.com/?my2apyivhuua7qy
there you go. I reuploaded it for you guys. Someone posted it earlier but I seem to have forgotten where
i believe shapewriter is still on market....use it... wonderful app for swype
looks like shapewriter was pulled from the market. The last available version was 3.0.9. It is available in the wild and the company that apparently owns the code isn't providing an alternative. In my opinion they are using the code in their paid non android keyboard apps.
Seems like swype is the next "display rotation" controversy. Companies are desperate to hold onto something to corner the market IMO. The swype beta also expired. I haven't found any available swype apps anywhere. I think there is one in the market but it's expensive. Preying on desperation. Guess we all have to pony up or buy a new phone.
Sorry to be negative, maybe it'll get better but be careful of copywrites guys. The software development world is looking for the next cornerstone after the hardware world has trickled us up to a point we don't need to buy a new phone every 3 months. They don't make cars like they used to do they?
**Edit** SlideIT is the app. Not sure of the price atm as I'm back in WinMo for a moment to upload these apks and I'll let you know which one is decent. But again, whichever it is, it may not last forever as the only one that was legally free with a lifetime ownership was shapewriter 3.0.9 but it may lose kernel support at anytime. Maybe android or some dev will create an alternative. I'm sure patents are all out there on this by now. Stupid but whatever.
I've tried numerous swype.apks for the past week or so and none is as responsive as the original. maybe its because android is still ran through the SD that swype (also ran from SD) is conflicting? but this is my opinion...
i've tried the swype apk from the EVO and DESIRE. desire link is dead but the EVO link is floating around somewhere still.. BUT, responsiveness is no where to be found. its slow.
I'm using the red themed version from this Droid Incredible thread and with the 7/23 zImage there is next to no lag. It works just about as well as it does in WinMo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701198
Tested both the above Swype and found Shapewriter 3.0.9. Both gave me Force Close errors and I had to switch to stock. Going to try the Droid keyboard now
**Edit (again)** Sorry, bad information. I was trying to use the apps by just dropping them in the AndroidApps folder. I uninstalled them and reinstalled using Astro and it looks like they all may be working. I'll have to do some testing to see what works the best. I apologize
Thanks for all the suggestions on this and posting a link to the Shapewriter 3.0.9 file looks like it may be a grey area in regards to copy-writes as I think you had to get it from the market while it was still hot which looks like it was brought down early June. O well.
This is probably a retarded question but how do you install the file once you've downloaded it to your SD card? Or do I need to download it from within Android to run it?
Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks anyway.
You can use Astro or Dropbox and just click the .apk file to open it. If the file you find is .apk.zip just remove the .zip. You may have enable Windows to show file extensions to do that.
Astro is in the Android Market
Dropbox is an app for your PC and an app for the phone so you can transfer files without rebooting into Windows everytime.

Yeah I noticed the mention of Astro and went and got it and figured it out. Thanks anyway for the information without even meaning to give it lol.
Anytime, I'm just killing time waiting to see if GPS is going to be compiled tonight. I should probably just get some sleep. So looks like the post xanderdad referenced is what I will stick with. It's the only thing out there that's available that's free and updated. It's working fine so far so unless there's something better, I'll stop bumping this thread constantly.
Thanks for bringing this topic up dbiggs and everyone that replied. Hope I was of any help. This app is a must without a physical keyboard IMO.
Any reviews or anyone try the driod red one? My Swype is almost unusable it's so slow to respond. But i don't think it's a swype option. Cause when i set the pattern unlock code on mine, i have to draw really slowly cause it lags behind as well. Unless i just had an old one

I am using the Green HTC one so looks like these 2 are decent options. The others worked fine too but I think I'm sticking to this one.
After the .apk is installed go to Menu > Settings > Language and Keyboard and Check the keyboard you want to have available. Then find an empty text box and long press till you see Input Method and then just select the keyboard you want.
Additionally, there are some settings within the Language and Keyboard you can tweak around to make it a little faster but it's pretty good stock. It takes a bit to load the first time and like anything, if you have a lot of apps running in the background, live wallpaper, old Android image and widgets while running on a Class 2 SD card it will probably be slow. Change as much of that as you can and it should get faster with newer Android builds and if\when NAND is in place to run off internal storage.
I've used swype for almost the entire time I was in windows and cannot even compare the speed to swype on this android. Swype on android right now is slow. This is using the EVO swype, and DROID swype (above post). Droid swype is much faster than the EVo, but still, will not compare to the swype from windows. I cannot even speed swype lol...
I'll wait patiently for faster builds in the future. For now, its back to the stock froyo keys.
And yes.. I've done almost ALL that is possible to speed my hd2oid up. Swype is still slow.
Ok, i got the droid keyboard with the 7/23 zimage, and holy smokes this is a godsend... it's basically identical to the winmo version. So glad it worked out good.
Not getting swype keyboard on darkstone's froyo .. I have zimage of 23rd as well
I Have enabled swype from the keyboard settings.

NEW version 1.60.36.8214
Hello,
i found this 2 apk for swype from evo4g xda forum
So i ask for your help on how to add the italian language to the modded version and how to install it since it's a zip file and the recovery tips didnt worked for me since when hd2 reboot, it obviously reboot into windows.
Can please someone post the "mic version" with italian language or all languages?
Thank you in advance
why dont yall just sign up for the beta, it takes like a day or two foor you to get an invite back, and you always get the most up to date version.
at least, thats what im doing.
Also, swype is working for me as fast as ever. i never have any lag in the trace line or the responsiveness. its probably because you guys are using old versions of swype.
You need to sign up for the beta and you will be able to get the most current version of swype.
I was going to upload the current version of swype that i have, but i could not find it in the tree anywhere. normally all applications install to /system/app but this was not the case for swype.
if anyone can find out where swype installs itself, please let me know and i will be more than happy to throw the current versios of swype up for download.
Hey xda. Okay so I'm here yet again asking for help, both in general and directly from Finlessbob or Dochoppy. So I have finally determined what I want in my new ROM "SOSA-Tab 1.0 Apricot" (or for Phones, SOSA 1.0 Apricot). Here are some of the features:
For the Nextbook Premium 7 and Velocity Micro Cruz T408:
1. Beats Audio 2. Increased GraphicsQuality 3. Speed Tweaks 4. Settings Tweaks Integration (Hoping to integrate bottom status bar BEFORE release, If anyone can help me with that it would be much appreciated) 5. (NP7 only) Cover Flow Music Player
And the list goes on and on. I am not going to tell about the phone because that is not my mission at the moment. Right now I need some help building the ROM for the Velocity. I have rooted it, but I cannot integrate the root into a custom rom, or anything else for that matter. The tablet comes stock with a recovery image that allows you to flash thefirmwaredownloaded offof the velocity cruz website in it. Here is my problem. I took out and added some stuff (namely superuser, an ereader app, etc.) and flashed in the recovery. My tablet is then sent into a bootloop and it wont work until I wipe the device via recovery and non of the stuff I added is integrated. The link provided to the site directly links you to the place where you download the firmware, for those that want to take a crack at looking at the rom, have fun. Its not in some funny file format like a cramfs or ext3 system image, its just in a ".tgz" (fancy zip file,use7zip)and insidethatisa ".tar" file(again justanotherfancyform of a zip file, use 7zip also).
For the sake of time I am not going to go too deep into the directories of the system folders, as anyone who has taken a crack at deving for android knows whats insideof them. Hopethatdoesn't look like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, and likeI said if you want to take a crack at it, just download the firmware from the website linked above. I also want to know (from anyone with experience in this like dochoppy or finlessbob) can I convert something to expand the apps space like you all did for the Nextbook Premium 7, because 523mb of space is cool and all, but (hating to sound oh so greedy) I want MORE lol, so if there is a possibility for that I would love some assistance. And one last thing, how do I change the splash image for it, there is no ".rle" file like there was for the nextbook, so help would be appreciated for that also.
Thanks, Ognimnella
P.S. - if anyone knows how to build a custom cwm recovery for tablets like thiss that would be helpful also. Im working on custom roms but it wont let me flash.!

I have a Cruz T410, and I hear they are releasing a new line with the exact same hardware but ICS. I'm pretty good at this modding stuff, but a novice in ROM or kernel cooking, so I will be little to no help most likely. I figure that if we can extract the ROM from the new one and modify it to update our T4XXs.
I have a friend who works retail that should have one I can play with soon, so if you know how I might extract it and get it to you to mod lemme know.
As for what I've done successfully to my Cruz is:
Full Root via Gingerbreak
LCD Density to 140
Removed Status Bar (Root Explorer to remove from system folder after titanium back up)
Remapped buttons, Vol up = Menu, Vol down = Back, Power = End
I used blade buddy to change end behavior to home then screen off so holding it down still brings the shutdown menu up as normal. Made a "Sound" shortcut on homepage.
ADW EX with ICS theme
Android PRO widgets with Lucid theme.
Latest Modded Google Play
(Was tricky but got it!)
Wave Launcher
(Awesome WebOS like gesture bar of shortcuts, with sound and screen off shortcut.)
SwiftKey Keyboard
(Best for tablets!)
Every Emulator Running Smooth
System Tuner
(Adjust SD Cache to 3 or 6MB, it gives a big performance boost. Also change the auto kill to aggressive, and clean cache)
All GAPPS (Lots of trial and error to get newest possible versions of everything)
Dolphin HD ofcourse
Fully functional remote desktop (Awesome without the ugly taskbar!)
Removed Bloatware
Once again, I'm noobish, but I make much better tablets jealous.
I got the tablet as a gift and really wish it was more popular because of its potential. I'm poor so this is going to be my tab until it dies.
I don't post much and I feel kind of silly, but it feels like there isn't much good information out there for how to make it cool. I'll explain how I did everything in detail for those who ask. And would love suggestions.
Also!
I have an adapter for USB in, is it possible to add a host controller for keyboards or gamepads?
Thanks in advance..
Well damn ur a hell of a let further than I am, I rooted it, and installed hcl launcher to give me a honeycomb feel. I modified the build prop to view me as a nexus s tablet and installed the play store too, took a lot of combination experiments but I have a zip with the needed files to install. I think rather than REMOVE the status bar, I just wanna move it to the bottom of the screen. I have Nova 3 and modern combat 2 black Pegasus installed, but the calibration is misaligned due to the persist ant and horribly placed status bar. If I could find the place in the code where I can move the status bar to the bottom of the screen rather than the top, this alone would make the thing a keeper.
Oh and Google host controller for android and report back whether or not we have USB hosting, if we do, I smell a game pad purchase in the future

Right on, we are on the same page with the taskbar. I have tried installing the default gingerbnread statusbar to make it where it can hide at least, but it still showed up as the crummy stock bar even after removing the SystemUI.APK from System folder. Another option:
Copy systemUI.APK to your SD. Remove it from system folder, uninstall, re install.
This makes it show up in services so you can disable it when you want to play games or watch videos.
I think you can do this with Titanium by converting it to a user app aswell.
I too have a back up of all the latest GAPPS and my modded bulid.prop if anyone needs em.
I'll keep working on it, glad I'm no longer alone, lol.

Miui 4.1 has been released for our device and has a currently stable (minus the initial F/C on JB roms, already widely known)
Miui is a wonderful rom that attempts to be as original as possible, and as customizable as possible, The dialer, music app, gallery app, messaging app, settings, Root Access Manager, virus scanner, firewall, Settings, ringtones, notifications, status bar, launcher, lockscreen, icons, Rounded screen, wallpapers, themes, weather app, notes app, (blah blah blah, much more) are all SPECIFIC to the Miui rom, and are different, and feel original, and completely separate from the plain roms we normally see (Sense, ICS, JB, PA <--->.>) Which all use the same launchers, with slight modifications. The Miui rom feels unique to all others, and really made me want something new, and it delivered, by giving me EVERYTHING new.
...I cant give you a download location...to prevent spam... >.> jesus you people are crazy

Please before downloading, read what I posted on the forum, otherwise, you will have a terrible first impression of this rom.
-If you do not wish to read, skip to the end of this post-
-Copied Post- -I am the original owner of this post, giving me right to copy information from one forum to another-
I want to post this in order to explain to people some problems/issues with this rom. I was very excited to receive it on my phone however there were issues on the latest version that I must point out for people looking to download this, and I hope this is seen by those of you who are also experiencing this issue which you no doubt are if you are using the latest (or any in the month of November) version.
ALL of the November versions of this rom have a flaw so before you continue reading, the last working version of miui is the 10/26/2012.3 version, any versions after this version have the flaw that you will be made aware of before you view this message.
The latest 11/26/2012 version of this rom has the following errors that will complicate REGULAR phone use.
-Browser: The Miui Browser on this rom will F/C (force close) upon touch after the initial bookmarks screen.
-to elaborate further, If you go to any website in the browser, and then attempt to touch any part of the website, the browser will F/C.
-Browser Based Loading Apps: Any app that attempts to open a website to have you view information from it will also F/C upon touch.
-Permissions Manager: The part of the permissions manager that asks for root access is broken, and will cause permissions manager to constantly F/C.
-This breaks the Miui toolbox app and the themes app, they will not function on the latest version of this rom.
-The hardware menu button is not available in the latest version of miui, unable to change wallpaper without using themes application.
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-This will prevent you from using ANY market available android browser on the phone, and the Miui browser.
-This will prevent you from using the Miui toolbox, and most miui themes.
-This will prevent you from using a large number of apps that require internet access.
-This will prevent you from using any available Root Access Required Application.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
The Previous Versions of this rom (uploaded in November) have the following issues that will complicate REGULAR phone usage.
-The browser will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user on a normal website.
-Any application requiring direct website access will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user.
-There are no Permission Manager issues with the previous November releases of this rom.
-No way to toggle menu button, no way to access menu
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-No way to access the internet via ANY market available browser, or the Miui Browser.
-A large number of apps that require internet usage will no longer work on this device.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
Latest working version of Miui: 10/26/2012.3
-.3 must be specified, as the versions released before .3 have a random constant soft-reboot issue at start of OS. (you generally will not make it to set up email before this begins)
-the .3 version of the 10/26/2012 rom has none of the previously listed issues in this post.
-However I must specify, that although I have not done testing to fix this issue, GPS does not seem to be working on this version of the rom.
I want to apologize to the OP, and or Dev. if this came off as Insulting, or offensive in any way. I know that making this must be difficult and I in no way mean to offend. I absolutely love this rom in every way, As I always will and have been a fan of MiUi. The thought of it being close to working on my device is incredible, and I do want to thank you very much for bringing this opportunity to me.
That being said, Changing the OP to include a (I must assume) untested (since the start of November) version of this rom is disappointing. I have gone through and proved, atleast to myself, That this is not user error, if you have any information proving otherwise, or any information at all on how to fix the latest version of your rom I would greatly appreciate it. I want to inform you that this post is an attempt to support your rom, while there may be a section of these forums to post errors that are found, the unknowing people who visit this forum will very likely download the latest version of this rom, claim it unusable, and not check for a working version. The next step is a rumor is spread, keeping people from attempting the rom, and the last step is the motivation deprivation caused will cease development of this rom, which I sincerely do not wish to see happen, as based soley on the 10.26.2012 rom I have become a fan of this project.
Please continue the great work you have done to provide Miui to the Htc Evo 4g Lte or HTC Jewel users of this world. And I hope to hear back from you promptly
-Copied Post-
-if you skipped-
The latest stable version of this rom is the 10.26.2012.3 release of the rom, the version listed on the OP (11/26/2012 release) has many issues that will greatly complicate regular phone usage, and cannot be accepted as a stable release, nor a daily driver. To explain shortly...
Broken versions of this rom: (any in November are not currently working correctly)
-No Browser from the market, or the Default will work.
-Root access is broken, Cannot grant root access to any app, even system apps.
-No menu, no way to toggle menu.
-incorrect theming
-constant Permissions manager F/C

the 2.10.26.3 release of this rom has working browser, and working root access, already set menu button, working themes and no F/C's other than the initial one at first boot.
I would like to state again, the 2.10.26.3 release of this rom is stable, and fully functional to my knowledge. Gps, remains untested for now, I will update this thread with information relating to its functionality at a later date, the direct download link for this rom is

Wrote down as I was going, if anyone would like me to test something for them that isn't in the list of 55 things I tested feel free to ask. I don't mind as I am actively trying to find issues with this rom as there seems to be some back and fourth conversation over it. Im running out of things to think to test, so any ideas im open to try.
Yeah, Check out the Start of the Link
The link has spaces to prevent it from being a link, put it back together and copy into url for the Forum location of this rom.
This entire, Long, thought-out, time consuming post relied on you being able to view that link, without that ability, I would not be able to post this, long, thought-out, and time-consuming post, that contained valuable information to obtain Miui on your Htc Evo 4g Lte, and to help the regular development of this rom continue, while giving a spark back to the evo that while many roms may have been tested, all felt the same, which was a little bit of a let down for you, as it was to me.
I want to quickly state that I mean no offence to the developers of all other roms for the htc evo 4g lte as I have tried them all and have some that I love, and some that I have mixed feelings for. I am simply putting this information out there so this rom also has the ability to develop as well as yours has, as I am sure even you can admit, that the Miui rom is a rom that is greatly desired for this phone. All of your roms had their different features, different mods, different mod packages, updaters, even for one, it had its own app installer, and Battery usage customization to improve battery life (venom). I am simply posting this for those out there, who have tried every rom out there, and still seek something to fall in love with.
Thank you very much for viewing this post, and I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Wow..
Thanks for the write up. I do miss MIUI and development has been excruciatingly slow, tho I know hard work is being put in.
I won't give up stable, fully functional roms for it right now, but I do hope it progresses into a daily before this phone becomes to outdated. I have my doubts because I hear rumblings of how difficult it is to bring MIUI to some of these phones these days, which is unfortunate.
Cheers

Yeah, what do you want me to say. There hasn't been a stable, daily driver miui.us build for the Evo LTE, yet. I have flashed just about all of them. Posted multiple logcats. If i remember right there were a couple of us who were getting a LOS on the October builds.

this is a good build, i have been running it since it dropped, with no major issues.

I want to thank you for viewing my post, and especially for replying to it quickly. I would like to state that everything I have found other than gps (which is currently untested) and the initial (only at start) F/C that the 10/26/2012.3 version of this rom is currently fully operational, and I am using it as a daily as I to love Miui and was excited to try miui 4.1. The only Miui feature that, that specific version, of the rom is currently lacking, is the Miui Camera. Otherwise, the 10.26.2012.3 release of this rom is fully functional and to the extent of my knowledge, usable as a daily driver, as long as you are ok with the initial F/C at boot that most JB roms have been experiencing.
To download this specific version of the rom, you may find the exact download link to the 10.26.2012.3 release of it here
http:// goo .im /devs/miui/jewel
just take away the spaces. I am of course in no way attempting to force you to try the rom, this is entirely your decision of course. Simply stating that this release of the rom, to my knowledge, is stable, and working for me currently as a daily driver. I will update the OP with information in regards to GPS soon.
Thank you for viewing my post.

the 2.10.19 build of this rom may be currently functional, I however am one to be closer to the latest stable and functional update, which is the 10.26.2012.3 release of the rom, to my knowledge, I do not see anything wrong with this version of the rom, and the link to all downloads for this rom have been posted.
Thank you for viewing my post, and replying promptly. I did not get far enough to thoroughly test the 10.19 version of the rom, as while backtracking the 10.26 version was the one that worked correctly for me, and I have not gone backwards from there, the download link for the 10.26 version of this rom has been posted, and if you would like to see if any improvements were made since that version be my guest.
If you do so, please let me know of any changes you may notice from 10.19 to 10.26.
Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
Thank you for replying to my post.

I would like to thank you for replying to my post, and I would like to state that I am currently using the 2.10.26.3 release of the originally posted rom as a daily driver, and have found no real issues with it at this time. If you have any issues that I may not have noticed I would definitely like to hear them. I haven't had anything not work for me yet, other than the general JB download speed slowdown, that is currently experienced on every rom currently supporting JB, and GPS detecting my location slower than sense (which can also be said about every other JB rom)
As of right now I am happy with the ROM and thought that I had conveyed that the rom was functional in my OP. Any information related to errors you have noticed or heard of that I may be able to test and attempt fixing personally I would greatly appreciate.
Thank you very much for the edit on your post. It was much more informative than "yeah"
Important Information Removal From Miui.us Site.
I would like to inform you that my original post on the Miui.us rom's forum has been removed. I attempted in this post to convey that posting a non working version of the rom as the first clickable download link was not the right action to get people to try this rom if they wanted to and receive a good experience.
To be clear, and to re-state.
The 2.10.26.3 version of this rom from what I can see, has no errors other than ones that have already been noted as JB errors for this device. such as the initial F/C that goes away after clicking on it twice and generally does not pop back up. Slower GPS point locating which is known to be a JB error for this device, it will still locate you, just not as quickly. and a Slower overall download speed, which can also be tied to JB for this device.
As far as the rom goes, excluding the normal JB errors, the 2.10.26.3 version of this rom, from what I can tell, is fully functional, and the download link is listed in OP.
any of the November releases or 2.11.anything currently have errors that jeopardize regular phone usage. Such as a non functional browser, and a non functional Root Access Manager (Which is like SuperSU and Super user, but MiUi specific, also not the exact name)
I am simply making sure that this information is conveyed, as this IMHO is the latest, daily, usable, stable, functional, version of this rom.
Thank you again, and I apologize for having to make my point, so many times.
Fyi, you can open the permissions manager and manually give apps root access. It's just the initial request for root that will break it. It's in the tools folder in the launcher. As well, someone posted instructions for remapping the menu key on both the miui.us thread and we figured it out on the other miui thread on here.

Thank you for replying to my post. Did you happen to fix the browser F/C's, With every browser? cause im a tad more interested in that. For root, I also looked at doing something like that, but I don't know why I would when the 2.10.26.3 release already had that working.. im unsure what was so necessary that they had to break their root app. Im unsure about the menu key, but if its already in settings Im fairly certain there was no option to remap to menu, cause I tried that. if its in the toolbox however, it wasn't working cause my root app wasn't working (of course I could have constantly re-installed the rom, and then manually gave root permissions to the toolbox app (which is a downgrade from normal android) After re-assigning the recent apps to menu, but that is too much of a hassle to go through on a freaking smart phone , and I sure as hell don't want to mess with something that broken to get it to work, when the 2.10.26.3 version didn't have this issue. If it wasn't in the toolbox and I had to manually go in and edit something to get the menu remapped, then again I must state, why not just go with the 2.10.26.3 version of the rom. I am totally at a loss here, what was so broken in 2.10.26.3 that required breaking the working rom to fix? I have everything working fine on my rom without having to do anything to get it there. Do I need to make another post to see what people were having a problem with? if I do please inform me promptly. The ability to browse the internet via a browser, is one of the main reasons people first get a smart phone. If that's broken, What did I get a smartphone to do? play some games? there are other things for that, that are portable and have better games. I know that the Miui.us rom that I want, isn't a broken rom that was worse than its previous release a month ago.
Please if you could be so kind as to tell me what you thought was wrong with the 2.10.26.3 release I would very much like to hear it. Im not being sarcastic, I seriously want to know. Why break what isn't broken to fix it?
I stand by my original point made in the OP, the 2.10.26.3 release wasn't broken, so don't download a broken release. If you are looking to get this wrong, don't settle for less than perfect, by downloading a rom that is made for you to fix it, when the dev could have fixed it himself.
Thank you very much, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Miui 4.1 has been released for our device and has a currently stable (minus the initial F/C on JB roms, already widely known)
Miui is a wonderful rom that attempts to be as original as possible, and as customizable as possible, The dialer, music app, gallery app, messaging app, settings, Root Access Manager, virus scanner, firewall, Settings, ringtones, notifications, status bar, launcher, lockscreen, icons, Rounded screen, wallpapers, themes, weather app, notes app, (blah blah blah, much more) are all SPECIFIC to the Miui rom, and are different, and feel original, and completely separate from the plain roms we normally see (Sense, ICS, JB, PA <--->.>) Which all use the same launchers, with slight modifications. The Miui rom feels unique to all others, and really made me want something new, and it delivered, by giving me EVERYTHING new.

Please before downloading, read what I posted on the forum, otherwise, you will have a terrible first impression of this rom.
-If you do not wish to read, skip to the end of this post-
-Copied Post- -I am the original owner of this post, giving me right to copy information from one forum to another-
I want to post this in order to explain to people some problems/issues with this rom. I was very excited to receive it on my phone however there were issues on the latest version that I must point out for people looking to download this, and I hope this is seen by those of you who are also experiencing this issue which you no doubt are if you are using the latest (or any in the month of November) version.
ALL of the November versions of this rom have a flaw so before you continue reading, the last working version of miui is the 10/26/2012.3 version, any versions after this version have the flaw that you will be made aware of before you view this message.
The latest 11/26/2012 version of this rom has the following errors that will complicate REGULAR phone use.
-Browser: The Miui Browser on this rom will F/C (force close) upon touch after the initial bookmarks screen.
-to elaborate further, If you go to any website in the browser, and then attempt to touch any part of the website, the browser will F/C.
-Browser Based Loading Apps: Any app that attempts to open a website to have you view information from it will also F/C upon touch.
-Permissions Manager: The part of the permissions manager that asks for root access is broken, and will cause permissions manager to constantly F/C.
-This breaks the Miui toolbox app and the themes app, they will not function on the latest version of this rom.
-The hardware menu button is not available in the latest version of miui, unable to change wallpaper without using themes application.
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-This will prevent you from using ANY market available android browser on the phone, and the Miui browser.
-This will prevent you from using the Miui toolbox, and most miui themes.
-This will prevent you from using a large number of apps that require internet access.
-This will prevent you from using any available Root Access Required Application.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
The Previous Versions of this rom (uploaded in November) have the following issues that will complicate REGULAR phone usage.
-The browser will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user on a normal website.
-Any application requiring direct website access will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user.
-There are no Permission Manager issues with the previous November releases of this rom.
-No way to toggle menu button, no way to access menu
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-No way to access the internet via ANY market available browser, or the Miui Browser.
-A large number of apps that require internet usage will no longer work on this device.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
Latest working version of Miui: 10/26/2012.3
-.3 must be specified, as the versions released before .3 have a random constant soft-reboot issue at start of OS. (you generally will not make it to set up email before this begins)
-the .3 version of the 10/26/2012 rom has none of the previously listed issues in this post.
-However I must specify, that although I have not done testing to fix this issue, GPS does not seem to be working on this version of the rom.
I want to apologize to the OP, and or Dev. if this came off as Insulting, or offensive in any way. I know that making this must be difficult and I in no way mean to offend. I absolutely love this rom in every way, As I always will and have been a fan of MiUi. The thought of it being close to working on my device is incredible, and I do want to thank you very much for bringing this opportunity to me.
That being said, Changing the OP to include a (I must assume) untested (since the start of November) version of this rom is disappointing. I have gone through and proved, atleast to myself, That this is not user error, if you have any information proving otherwise, or any information at all on how to fix the latest version of your rom I would greatly appreciate it. I want to inform you that this post is an attempt to support your rom, while there may be a section of these forums to post errors that are found, the unknowing people who visit this forum will very likely download the latest version of this rom, claim it unusable, and not check for a working version. The next step is a rumor is spread, keeping people from attempting the rom, and the last step is the motivation deprivation caused will cease development of this rom, which I sincerely do not wish to see happen, as based soley on the 10.26.2012 rom I have become a fan of this project.
Please continue the great work you have done to provide Miui to the Htc Evo 4g Lte or HTC Jewel users of this world. And I hope to hear back from you promptly
-Copied Post-
-if you skipped-
The latest stable version of this rom is the 10.26.2012.3 release of the rom, the version listed on the OP (11/26/2012 release) has many issues that will greatly complicate regular phone usage, and cannot be accepted as a stable release, nor a daily driver. To explain shortly...
Broken versions of this rom: (any in November are not currently working correctly)
-No Browser from the market, or the Default will work.
-Root access is broken, Cannot grant root access to any app, even system apps.
-No menu, no way to toggle menu.

Very interesting as I was about to post something about the lens edition of the lens Miui before checking on my OP. Thank you for bringing that up as I am just about to uninstall the lens version of this rom, and re-install the miui.us 2.10.26.3 version of the rom in the OP. The Lens rom is gaining progress fast, and I would urge everyone to check it out, but it is currently much less stable than the version of Miui.us listed in the OP, even with its latest 2.11.30 update, so if you are looking for a daily driver, then the one I am looking it is the one currently listed in OP, HOWEVER, I will be switching back to the Lens Miui rom when they get the thing a bit more stable because I honestly trust the developer to do so in a short amount of time.
I will be updating my OP shortly.
I apologize.
I was looking at my OP and I realized it was a tad too long to continue to add a long definition of the current LENS Miui Release. I will be posting anew.
