Ok so i plan on downloading the miui.us rom sometime today, but i have a few questions i wanna clear up some things.
I was looking around the forum today and i came across this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302004. I want to install this as my lockscreen but im a little lost at something , it says CM7 , so does this mean it will only work on cm7 roms ? but then it also says miui, which is the rom i want. I don't get why cm7 and miui are together, is it a theme of miui put into cm7 or something?
Thanks in advance

This is the miui lockscreen,ported to CM7. You will already have this lockscreen,so there is not point in trying to install it.

That's a theme.
Miui does not look like that.

Would you know what the theme is called ?
It's great that there is a thanks button, but there needs to be a "cut a n00b" button. It would result in an arm reaching through the computer screen with a butter knife and going to town.
You're quizzing us on themes and you haven't even installed the ROM yet? Seriously? Install the ROM and see if you still have any questions.
If memory serves me correctly, the second post in the miui.us thread explains the basics of miui such as how one ought to approach themes and other useful tips.
Theming MIUI works differently than most other Roms. There is a built-in theme app in miui that lets you browse through online themes, download them, and apply them onto your phone. Its worth downloading the rom and checking it out.

All I want to do is modify the framework to give me the percent battery and also change the notifications. Can I use the framework on the stock Rom to change that since I'm rooted or do I have to have a different Rom that's modified?

Try the question and answer section please!
Yes you can, just do a backup before you attempt the changes and backup the original Framework-res.apk somewhere.
By back up some may wanna say nandroid or nand but we are NOT running Amon Ra anymore so lets drop the Nand..... Its kind of a slap in the face to the folks at Clockwork. And who let us root???????

I honestly think a sticky at the top of each forum for questions would make things easier for everyone to find and help the lazy. But the one in the development section was closed and they refereed everyone to Q and A. I wasnt trying to be rude. And I dont mind helping, its just hard to find apps and themes amongst all the questions.
Ya I usually don't post easy questions like this but I tried to find somewhere that talked about the stock Rom and framework but didn't find much. Love the Rom since it was the same Rom I used on my G2 but it was Evils custom rom. Hard to go back to stock when your used to modifying your own images lol

I hear that, its no fun if its not custom.
Did you see my thread on changing the android on the usb connect screen? Its also done through the framework. I would post link but I'm mobile. :/

Nope haven't looked into it right now, since I just switched from the G2 I was going to read up on everything before but it seems like most of the G2 stuff is almost the same as the myTouch 4G so I'll be able to just go to town lol. If I do anything new I'll definitely add it to the pot once I get something good

You can't actually change the notifications pane with that, but there are notification icons and the percentage battery changes there. I just use the silver circle one and left the rest stock, nice b&w feel to it.
More complex changes require a deodexed ROM like IG, CM6/7, eViL's MIUI, etc.
Is there a stock rom that's been deodexed? That's all I'm looking for right now but I'm not finding anything

Im told that Iced Glacier is pretty much a faster version of the stock rom. (I havent tried it myself)
However if you are just trying to change the Icons in the status bar you dont need to be deodexed to use the mods in the link previously mentioned. Im running stock rom with one of those mods myself currently
Ya I was able to change the notification icons, signal, battery...only thing I couldn't do without having FC issues was change the battery into a percent. Even with those mods on the link I was getting FC issues
I just want to know what you guys think.
I'm going to be using Bilboa's kernel on both so it's basically just which ROM is better?
I'm asking because tomorrow I have a state sponsored test and when I finish I'm going to be bored and I want to experiment with one these two ROMs. So what should I flash?
UI - GPS = MIUI
Android + bonus - GPS = CM7
Tough decision, my opinion. Neither will have great battery life.
I found MIUI to be sooo beautiful but it kept getting unstable and weird on the XDA app and some other white background apps (color) but I'm on cm7 and its great and a little more stable
PS
Watch my video review on miui for a good though

And another quick question for you guys: which version of MIUI did you flash on your phone?
I found the one on xda forum: MIUI 1.4.8 (Beta 6) 2.3.3
or the one from SGS MIUI sourceforge : MIUI9000_RC4_VIB <-- for the Vibrant
I want to try that amazing ROM but I need your help finding the good version to flash!

My phone has the built in theme chooser.. but I also have the flashable themed zips that are VERY professional (and change everything)... AND, my phone doesn't look like an iPhone (MIUI).
I really prefer the stock android look CM7 brings to the table. Everyone has a preference, no need to knock one over the other. That goes to the person who called MIUI a cartoon theme too, MIUI is sexy... just not MY preference.
In my mind,neither CM nor MIUI,the battery life is the key point to me when I choose a rom to flash.
Since they use the same kernel you could set up Cm7 and do a nandroid.....then flash MIUI and set it up.....then do a nandroid for MIUI. Then you can switch back and forth in less than 5 min!
In my opinion MIUI is less buggy than CM7. MIUI went official and they have fixed almost everything. The only problem i have is that GPS does not work. The battery life is average if u flash version 1.4.15. MIUI's UI is so beautiful compared to CM7.
Again, our comes down to ui, stock android with features, our android that slept with iphone.
Latest cm7 releases are stable, just no gps/poor battery.
i like miui
Actually, both stuffer from similar problems, just that miui will have it fixed, whereas cm7 is unpredictable, but maybe cm7 can take and borrowfrom miui?
I've been using miui a my main rom for about a month now and love it to death. I'm not having any stability issues with all of my Apps. Granted the GPS blows but the Vibrant GPS has always sucked the big one. If I need to use GPS that bad I just put my sim in my G1 which has ****ing amazing gps.

^ agree with every word.
I haven't been on a different rom than miui for over a month.
I have been running CM7 and MIUI on my SGSII but i cant make my mind up which one to stick to.
I like some things on CM7 but i also like the UI of MIUI, how easy would it be to merge both roms togeather with what i want from each rom?
I would like to use CM7 as the base as it seems to run nicer than MIUI but i like MIUI's mods and notification drop down but dont want MIUI's homescreen, also i think CM7's camera is alot better than MIUI's, also a few other bits that i cant remember.
Only problem i have is lack of knowledge about making roms etc, if anyone does have this knowledge and agrees with me and would like to make a rom like this i would help the best way i can etc.
What are your thoughts?

yep, I would go this way. try CM7 with Go Launcher EX for example...
Use CM7,
Install this theme for Theme Chooser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189723&highlight=MIUI+CM7
Install Go Launcher EX+MIUI theme
OR
Install this launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220695
You can find more themes for QQLauncher:http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=89487960
Miui uses CM7 as a base and builds off it so its already merged (kinda).
Your best bet would be to pick the one you prefer, and fix/replace the things you dont like with after market apps.
I know this isnt what you wanted to hear but im afraid it's your only option.
afaik there has never been a miui/CM7 hybird.
By the sounds you want to -
Install MIUI
Install ADW launcher from the market and use that
Get a copy of the camera APK from CM7 and use that instead of MIUIs camera (sure I did this back on my SGS1)
You can pretty much get what you are after then.
Yea i know miui is already based on cm7.
Think i may use miui and then change the launcher and try and pick a few system apk's from cm7 that i want.
I take it cm7 apk's will run fine on miui seen as its running the same base?

No offense to bmarko, your doing a great job porting it.
i hate how the drawer stops by pages. it's stupid and not useful.
i tried a honeycomb theme that made it so it only stopped once in the middle and that was great.
unfortunately the update to the theme messed up my phone so i'm back to normal.
how do you get rid of the page scrolling?
yes i want to keep using sense for now im aware i could just use launcher pro

Myn released warm for the Evo 3D? Where can I get this?
It doesn't seem to be in the development section.
hypothetically speaking you should be able to pull the com.htc.framework.jar from a rom that doesnt have the pagenated scroll and push it to your /system/framework and it should work.. should is the key word though.. thats all the zip did, but obviously it would need to be a 2.3.4 version..

Try Flashing the EvoZone3D_2.3.4 Rom it Doesn't have that Stupid Scrolling App Drawer...
Ok this new miui on the ics sense base is really smooth and rocks. Yet I miss the sense launcher. I know thete ate many who have removed it from their roms. I would like to know what files had to be removed so I can try and install them on miui. From all I have been able to find out is that miui has kept all the framework intact so I would presume that all I need is tjr correct apks. Then I would have the best of both worlds.
(Sense MIUI my ultimate rom)
Ok with a little help from the dsixda kitchen and a few workarounds I now have progressed to MIUIics-Sense 3.6 merged rom.
shortly I will have a download link for people to play with. Feel free to report any issues you have here, but since it is just a project for my own enjoyment (at least for now) there will be no support what so ever from me.
The basics:
ics base
MIUIics from digitalhigh 7-27 test
stock miui ics kernal (for now)
What works:
all sense widgets
wifi
3g
gallery (had to reboot to work)
call
What does not work yet:
4g (which I dont have so I dont care) or it might
superuser FC's
all of the newest miui issues I have here also

I am a noob, but from what I see, your only choice is dual booting
wow look at the negativity here. I do see this happening and it might be a large task but it is possible. dual booting is just lame. I dont want to reboot just to access a few features of some rom.

I say try this:
Take the sense Rom that you want and extract it to a folder. Then take the sense-based miui zip and extract it to the same folder and overwrite the sense Rom with the miui Rom. Then zip the new combination and see if it flashes.

FYI as much as I love using dsixda's kitchen, you wouldn't need it to do what you describe. Simply moving the files from zip to zip would work just fine.
Have you tried a Sense Rom then downloading MIHome from the market? Ya it won't have everything MIUI but its a hell of a lot easier if you want full Sense and slightly less MIUI aspects. Just wondering
ok so a little research questions. 1. what sense would most be interested in? I am thinking about going back to 3.0 when I get most of the issuses sorted out. 2. Who would like lee droid tweeks? 3. What key features would you like? 4. Dont ask about sprint bloatware it is gone forever in all my releases when this hits the developer section. 5. Any suggestions on fav. kernals? 6. We need a sweet rom name so lets see what yall have in mind.
Finally would like to thank all here at xda for their knowledge, help, and a place to grow.

well mihome is not what i am after here. I personally hate the miui launcher which is part of what lead to this project. I love sense which is why i got an htc phone in the first place. I want miui for the extras it has, and sense for the launcher and widgets. as i have said ealier i have a simi-functional rom so far and will be doing more testing and changing over the next few day. some of my issues have to do with the sources I have used to start this with. I have a sprint ics rom from an ota that has problems by itself than the new miui 8-3 that is the first sense base released for the 3d. So yeah i have all the problems from base plus issues from the merger of the two. As the issues from the bases get sorted out so will my issues.
any suggestions on a file host site?

Your allowed to use it. Just can't post the download link to the Rom its included in here. Then it breaks the rules of XDA.
For instance..
I have 2 versions of my DX Rom but there's only one posted on XDA because I respect both forums and try to follow the rules of both of them. He could do the same if he chooses.
ok so i got it uploaded link is in op and at the end of this post. many issues so far but this is the first try. I am waiting on permission to use another base from the vm leak which will fix a few of the issues i have so far. i have only merged the two roms and have not started any work on tweeks. hope this is just as much fun for yall to use as it is for me to build.

ok test rom is working fairly good so far. tested most features and they are working I have added screenshots, now I am only waiting on permission from my donor roms before I can post a link. If you would like to test also pm me and i will give you the link.
edit:
incoming calls are hit and miss
If you're waiting on permission from me - feel free to post.
As was suggested earlier - you might have more luck ditching Kitchen and just using BeyondCompare to diff the two extracted ROMS. I cannot edit a ROM without it...it's that awesome.
I'd do like was pointed out - extract my MIUI and the Stock ICS, diff them, and then grab basically everything you want in /system/apps on the Stock side that says "HTC..." in it. Most of the widgets start with HTCfriendstream.apk and whatnot. As you've already established, the majority of the frameworks are identical, with only framework-res, framework.jar, services.jar, and android.policy.jar being edited.
So, it should stand to reason that if you're using the Rosie launcher, you can probably utilize all the stock HTC apps but keep the MIUI navbar, notification, dialer, etc.
Either way...definitely get BeyondCompare and diff the two ROMS. Otherwise you're just kludging around in the dark...
Edit:
And the permission f/c can be fixed by grabbing LBESEC.apk (something like that) from MIUIAndroids' GSM port.
