for p500 miui is based on cm7!
Cm7 is based on Android!
Android is based on Linux!
And Linux is based on UNIX!
I haven't forgot that!

CM7, period. Performance-wise, the difference is negligible. When it comes to customization, however, the base CM far outstrips MIUI. You can make CM look like stock Android or like MIUI, like an iPhone or even WP7. Or get a launcher like Sslauncher and you can make it look like no other smartphone out there. With MIUI, you're pretty much stuck with MIUI looks, which is great if you're a MIUI fan, but can get pretty restricting otherwise. Oh, sure, you can customize it so that it looks completely different, but that's a bit more work and when you're done, it's more or less no longer MIUI.

MIUI doesn't look beautiful on P500 resolution. That's why they don't support mdpi devices officially.

& it is far more customizable then cm7 in all respects

So which are the actual differences?
Normally people will preffer what they have on their phones and stand by that, its obvious, but what differences one another?

---

> MIUI is all about looks and ui customization, while cm7 is also for customization thats why it had the tmobile theme engine on it. so difference would only be in User interface.. if you said MIUI is fast and smooth then so as cm7..

It's more or less really just the user interface, and the few MIUI-specific apps. Since MIUI on the P500 uses CM as a base, any performance gains one has over the other is really dependent on any tweaks or optimization a particular ROM has. Whether someone chooses MIUI or CM is just a matter of preference -- there's no such thing as a "better" ROM.

I use gsnap by neko and it's the best for me, I tried MIUI and it looked much better than others but MIUI lacked smoothness due to it's framework..

Not due to its framework, due to the fact that we dont have the source to build from. You have a binary ports here, that is the HUGE difference between the CM7 and the miui roms. Even though it is based on our CM7 which is built from source, we do not have the source for the framework and other libs (which are miuicentric so to speak) to really mess around with and make fit better on our devices. By fit i dont mean mdpi though. I have flashed almost every miui rom here and always end up back on CM9 because of the new features available in ICS. I find that although the work these guys are doing are incredibly impressive, these binary apps sometimes clash with our base rom,superuser being one of the culprits. If our devs did have the code, lots of the bugs and fc's we experience would be sorted out quick enough to build a very able port.
Miui is more than just a UI paradigm, the lockscreen is amazing, but laggy. The music apps far outstrips the standard player in every respect. The black/white list functions available in the miui securtity suite is awesome. The launcher sucks ass though when you compare it other launchers. I take ages creating folders so I have only ONE homescreen because lets face it, memory is an issue on our roms. So when it comes down to it, miui is more than just a UI change over CM7 or even CM9.
For those who scream customization, most CM7 settings are still available in these miui roms. It all boils down to user preference, I grab every possible miui app that will work on my rom but stick to cyanogenmod for the basic rom.
