anyone know what apps are included in miui? I mean miui apps, I heard there's a custom music player and camera, is this true? I'm very interested in checking these apps, but not very interested in being a miui bug tester

Almost every miui app is themed or miui-specific. Music, gallery, home, radio, browser... You can "miui music" and "miren browser" on XDA (i think the torch app was featured in the portal some days ago.
Have fun with MIUI apps

Guys, I have tried almost all the ROMs posted out in XDA for SGS II, except CyanogenMod. And believe me, MIUI is THE BEST when it comes to butter smooth user experience and the battery life. Yes, Battery life is just awesome. I am not a big fan of MIUI launcher, so I replaced it with ADW, and my life is Cool ;-)

Hi guys,
I'm just waiting 2 receive my new mini and I don't have much experience yet with it since I have been using HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 so far.
Could you share your experience with various launchers, i.e. which one do you prefer and why?
I would need something simple with most important widgets like contacts, browser, weather etc.
Cheers

ADW is best.... Have many options and costomization
Helix is also good
Helix is very Stable and good
I have had many Force Stops with ADW
I use Helix. Simple and fast (And they say it increases your battery life).
BTW, Anyone knew how to make the app drawer transparent? The black background? I still want to see my wallpaper when I'm opening the app drawer (my wallpaper is Droid eating apple)
i tried EVERY launcher out there...the conclusion: ADW is the best for me;
astonishing customization, very good speed, stability and battery consumption and the only one so far with the ability to turn every application or widget in a useful icon; for example you can put a "smart search" icon on your bottom dock bar...indispensable for me.
maybe not to many themes for now though
Try Zeam 1.5.1 (for Donut).
It's simple, fast, efficient and just does the job
ADW Launcher and Helix!
@pulpoff, can you please pm me that version I cant find it anywhere, thanks
ADW! let your creativity takes you!
Get my apps folder from black theme thread, its included in it.

pulpoff,can we change zeam bottom dock manually like launcher pro does? And does zeam has icon stretch like on ADW?
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
I use Zeam too -> Infopage: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149
Download: slideme.org/application/zeam
But the infopage above says that it is only available for android 2.1 and there has been no update yet. Right?
I liked ahome 4 beta. but it got expired
Is it necessary to delete the default launcher after you installed a custom one, and if yes, how is it performed?
thanx
There is no need to remove it.
Simply restart your phone and a pop-up will appear to choose the launcher you want.

I am on Eclipse 2.2 but am interested in upgrading to an ICS rom and see that they use different launchers. I have bought launcher pro plus and ADW EX, but am actually still using the "dead" launcher pro because it is still faster than ADW. I am very anal about speed and lag. Hopefully both ICS launchers are fast and I don't have to worry about performance? what are your thoughts on the ICS launchers? Performances and speed is my number one concern, and I am willing to pay. Thank you.

Also +1. Dunno why but always had some weird issues with Nova while Apex is indeed running smooth and have better options for me. I recommand you to go for Apex, wont be disappointed imo.
Apex all the way...its clean,simple and user friendly.
Apex is the best i won't change it ever
Apex all the way
They both have free versions in the play store. Try them both out and use the one to your liking. I am partial to Nova, myself.
try both, they both have free version on the market, for me nova is the choice...
Since I have ICS, I'm using Apex free launcher; It's very smooth and the best I've tried. When you try it, you'll hate other launchers.
Since Apex fixed the FC's a while ago I am very happy with it. All the settings and features available even in the free version are awesome. Swiping down to expand notifications is my favourite.
I like Nova
Nova for me. I started using it for the dock swiping when the Galaxy Nexus first came out. Now it looks like the Pro version of Apex has the same feature. Honestly, they are verging on the exact same feature set. Someone should put together a comparison chart.
I prefer Apex because the free version allows hiding of apps in the app drawer.

Thanks for all the input guys. Anymore thoughts on the speed and performance of both?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA Premium App
I was using Nova, but I switched to Apex as Nova was quite slow on my Desire. Apex is much smoother for me. They have pretty much the same features (I haven't noticed much difference although I haven't looked that far into either) I would give both a try and see which works best for you
Nova hands down, my friend is currently using it and I have to say its one of the best ICS launchers out there.
I'm quite impressed with Nova, but it might be that you need a fast processor to handle it, because it's incredibly smooth and responsive on my Galaxy Note.
I've tested them both, and Nova uses a lot more RAM resouces, so if you have an older phone definately Apex, and i think Apex is better in features too.
Hello, installed CM9 MIUI a while ago and really liked it but couldnt put up with no browser working and no video camera

ROM - Paranoid Android By ByteCode.
Sent via XDA App.
I installed and I liked it - for a day. On day 2 it started an update that was not a normal Play Store update. There were download notifications in chinese. Seems really suspucious epsecially considering where it was developed. Also the support web site is all chinese rendering it useless to a lot of people. Beware.
Guess u tried updating from the in-app update option.
I update only via google play hence did not come across this issue.

Windoss 8 style launcher is more boring.
Windoss 8 style is more boring, but not bad WP8 launcher... nice:good:
Used it for about hour and restored to Trebuchet... This is good for bigger phones (screen size OFC).
Have any of you experienced a lot of lag with this launcher? I'm used to launchers like nova and trebuchet that are nice and smooth while this one seems to be choppy. I like it a lot though

anyway thanks for your sharing:laugh:

Agreed! Love this launcher, but since I paid for Launcher 8 Pro, I'm going back using it.
