Why is MIUI smoother than Cyanogen? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

MIUI is based off CM yet It runs smoother. With MIUI there is no need for project butter. I understand that MIUI took CMs hard work and made it closed source, and this makes me want to support CM. But I've always noticed MIUI runs way nicer. Everything works faster too. I spent today comparing MIUI to CM9 and it everything works far better, like downloading from market is faster, getting location for BeWeather and stuff like that.
Live wallpapers are smoother too. There's slight lag and stalls on CM which I just don't see on MIUI.
I just want someone to explain to me why this is, if they can. Is it the way MIUI is built? Is it faster because it has no app draw?

and I think CM9 has a problem with autobrightness whereas MIUI controls brightness very well

First of all MIUI is no more based on CM source. Now they use stock roms

[Q] Cyanogen or MIUI or Stock?

Which one do you like? CyanogenMod/ MIUI/ Replicant/ OMGB or stock?
P.S: You can add your opinions, ideas, etc.
Anything other than stock.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I like MIUI, I've tested MIUI Spain and MIUI Scotland.
The last one is very, very good but these days is closing :-(
Now I'm looking for a good on to my SGS (GT-I9000). Any recommendation?
MIUI for customisation and look.
CM for speed and performance
stock for stability.
each one has its own + and - . so its all personal preference.

MIUI, but I'm currently on ICS stock because the MIUIv4 ports for my device are buggy as hell. I just wish stock had the icon consistency/theming that MIUI has, its the only thing I miss.

Currently CyanogenMod, because of my Xperia X8 is not supported by MIUI and Stock crashes a lot. So CyanogenMod. I actually use a ROM based on CyanogenMod called GingerDX by Doixanh, because of the stock CyanogenMod wants FreeXperia kernel and errors occurred when I was doing it (actually I was trying to flash NobodyAtAll's nAa kernel) and I tried on my Galaxy 5 (now it is my sister's)(Galaxy 5= GT-I5500), it worked after flashing the correct baseband on ODIN Multi Downloader.
I would go with MIUI if there was a working from with no bugs. So atm I'm using ICS

What ROM do you use on your Nexus One?
Another vote for CM due to it's tweakability.
Personal favourites can be found only by testing, testing and testing.
I'd try CM, but it requires an unlocked bootloader, which voids warranty, and disables me from using OTA updates. :/
Same reason as Mattyas: Tweakability.
I like CM to, but unfortunately they didn't make one yet for alcatel ot-990 :-(
I have used it on my Tattoo that I had and it was great. I am still searching for at least some customisations that are on cm.

MIUI = Customizable and better redesigned look.
CM7 = Stock Android look (with exception of Theme Chooser themes) but greater performance and stability.
CM7 always ran much smoother and faster for me but I always loved MIUI's UI. I stick with CM7 just because it is always stable and reliable. HTC Passion (Google Nexus One).
hv tried stock based,cm based n miui based roms for sometime. all of them hv been stable n gud.
but i like miui cos of its customisation. each themes gives a new look to my fone. m jus lovin it

I have used all three types and I have liked things from all of them and found fault in all the same. It all just came down to what I liked the most for what I wanted/needed.
I use mainly MIUI as I love the thousands of custom themes that are easily mixed and matched.
In the end it is always up to what you feel is the right one for you. The best advice I can give you is to try each one for a week and after that you should have a good idea of which one is best for you.
one do you like? CyanogenMod/MIUI
MIUI. I haven't updated to MIUI v4 because I like the theming too much, and there aren't many themes compatible with MIUI ICS.
I've actually been on MIUI for almost a year.

Stock on my Xperia X8 Crashes, Original MIUI doesn't support X8 (There are ports on XDA for X8) and I have tried MIUI on My Uncle's HD2 (but not MIUIv4) (he is not from blood, just for respect and he works at my dad's office) and CyanogenMod wants FreeXperia Kernel and I am using a ROM Called GingerDX, which is based on CyanogenMod 7.1 (and available for the Stock Kernel). So currently CyanogenMod, reasons: Tweaks, themes, etc. (I just like it).
P.S: If I was unfair, then I'm sorry.

Question:
Which one of this rom as less bugs ?
Are ALL the components working? (compass, gyroscope, gps, etc..)
How is the battery life?
How it is compering with nightlyfoure 4.8?
Installing GTR now.
Perfect Peso 2.3 in my opinion is pretty good. I'd recommend it for daily use. There are a few bugs that you may run into once or twice, but it's not a big deal really. Doesn't actually affect anything. Plus, performance is great!

not selected to VM48m
not active to compcache 18% (default)

i rebooted
suddenly the settings has changed ... to the ICS interface nice
and the clock is centred ... i don't will it centred ... btw don't care ... it's ok.

Yeah, test it all out and choose the rom you like best . Also, PP does have ICS settings. Just reboot your phone after the first start up for it to apply. Also, PP has an annoying startup sound. It's freaking loud and might scare you lol. Just delete it at /system/media/android_audio.mp3 if you do test it out. Performance wise.... I think perfect peso beats GTR lol. But I tested 2.0 GTR only, haven't tried V3.1 or 3. yet, so yeah, just try both and stick to the one you like.
ATM, using Kssood's GB MIUI It's awesome lol.... apart from the bugs haha
I'm also looking for a stable ROM,I'll keep my eye on this thread.

it work fine only with his standard settings, ... it means too much battery drain
+ it has a terrible bug, when you swipe down the bar the whole system has a micro lag, thet stops the music too ...
there are scroll lags... and another fail, compass doesn't work! here too, it was the same with nightly foure 4.8 ... mmm strange btw... can only be the kernel.
I pass GTR, not for me. but nice interface.
i hope that the CM9 is soon ready for an all day use...
i'll try now SlimGen slimgen

Need an ICS AOSP/KP rom with 100% working camera

Hi fellas ,
I'm a new galaxy S2 user..
I want a Rom which should be CM9 or AOKP or AOSP based and camera and video recorder should work flawlessly...

You seem to know how to get around so I suggest flashing the latest CM9 nightly For me (and almost everyone ) it works without any probs
I'm using a ROM compiled from the source by a developer here based in the latest google official source (4.0.4) with latest cm9 kernel 3.0.28 wich make the phone FULLY FUNCTIONAL, Check it out:

also watch my video in my signature where shows how the roms works.
Right now I'm on hydrogen 14.04 rom,

Even being Lazy i can Live without toggles, i rather a clean aosp experience
I suggest ICS Resurrection Remix Pro, amazing rom highly suggest it, it doesnt have toggles to worry about, just base AOKP goodness
Bro Hydrog3n is also AOKP based and moreover , i tried the camera update from westcrip's page and it didn't came to any use ....
Same problems there too just pinch zoom added in UI
Does the LED in camera works for you ?
And what about autofocus without macro mode on ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
The camera drivers for the SGS2 are proprietary which makes it more difficult for devs building from AOSP to get features working with the non-Touchwiz camera app, these issues exist in all AOSP based ROMs for the moment, I'm sure there are devs working on it but it may be quite a while before it works as well as it does on Samsung ROMs for obvious reasons. If you want flawless camera you are more likely to find it on Samsung stock at least in the short term.
But my camera works just fine on cm9

Working and working without bugs are 2 different things, there are still issues with the CM9 camera, and since the OP wanted flawless, I wouldn't call it that at the moment.

Miui rom Aokp rom or cm9 rom?

I have no idea which rom is the best? All three have the same bugs. Only video recording and wifi tethering not working.
Sent from my Xperia Neo V using Tapatalk 2
CM9 is great for performance. AOKP is similar to CM9 but with more themes and ability to personalize the looks. MIUI is themed a lot but i don;t know much about its performance. Choose the one which you like
MIUI Roms are based on CM cores so they're both pretty comparable. I do prefer MIUI for the themes though, easiest way to be able to quickly customize. Honestly, try them all.

For my phone, the performance of MIUI is much better, but of course it depends on which phone you have, so you should ask at the section of your phone.

It is not true, that MIUI roms are based on CM cores. It used to be true in the roms with Android 2.*. But with MIUI v4 they have developed their own framework.
But as they didn't develop it for every phone, on some phones MIUI v4 ports with a CM base exist.
I find CM9 fastest and smoothest on my Sensation, but this will vary from device to device
Try them all and see which you like the most.

New better rom?

Hey all.
I have been using this rom [ROM][JB4.3]Ganbarou GT-P7500/7501/7510/7511 Android 4.3 based on CM10.2 for some while.
It is fast and nice!
And battery life is great!
Buit after some time it gets slow and i have to restart the tablet.
And Netflix dont work.
What stable and nice rom can you recommend?
I just want a rom where all works.
What about? CyanogenMod (http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ )
Thanks
Regards Daniel
Toldo 's jellybean ICS ROM plus A1 kernel. Best and stable performance you can get.

I tried Toldos Jellybean rom for a while. It is great except for batterylife. Now using cm 10.1. Has a good batterylife and its works well.
I have only been using Ganbarou for quite some time and it is great. Especially the battery life. I do agree that it does get laggy after some time, but it does not bother me too much. It will be the deciding point for me to change, though.
Luckilly BeeGee has taken over Nameless rom from Kasper. I understand there to be some screen glitches on it, but I might take it for a drive over the weekend. If it gives me what Ganbarou gives me, without the lagg, and the glitches is not too annoying, I might stay with it.

How can i install it then?
No just installed the .zip file with twrp 2.6.0
Ahh okay Got it installed Hope it works well.
Hi all
I haven't changed my rom in more than a year and I'm completely lost. I used CM 10.1 but it has graphic glitches and it sometimes freezes. I'm also looking for something as stable as possible, with multi user support. I use the tablet mostly for video and web browsing. Don't really care about having the latest version of Android, as long as it's equal or higher than 4.2 for the multi user feature.
Can you please give me some advice?
