Ok so i just made this thread to find out what features you guys like whether on cyanogenmod or miui.
i currently have a locked bootloader but working to unlock it so which means i am using miui rom.
my favourite feature in this rom is the graphics and the online music i can listen directly to all the playlist.
so post yours as well
Better remove the Off-topic from OP... Otherwise some mod will move it to OFF TOPIC forum and Archer will definitely lock it in OT
MIUI- awesome music player, countless themes, looks beautiful,fast, but no app drawer
CM- it's CyanogenMod , better support for my phone
Beautiful beautiful miui interface

Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
hmmmm...between Miui and CM????
okay here is my favourite between both of them....
------- MiUi -------
1. built-in call/msg blocker (firewall)
2. built-in MiUi backup
3. themes can be customizes
4. fully customizes status bar (control panel)
5. lockscreen is differents on each themes
6. MiUi music player (the best)
7. LBE Guard (got a few extras apps such as App control)
8. Stable and fast
------ CM ------
1. Frequently Updated
2. Plenty of themes (can be downloaded from market)
3. Stable and fast (depend on which CM do you use)
4. App drawer
Errrr...couldn't find more on CM cause i'm new using CM
I really like the features of Cyanogenmod and that it's not so hard to compile updates on my PC. But MIUI has a beautiful interface, too
I would choose Cyanogenmod: Best features and best style! AOSP
I like MIUI security app which allows fine privileges management for all apps (GPS access, phone state, etc.)

You can do that on cm10 too and it actually works better.....
Tbh they are both my favourite roms. Miui is very well "built" allowing for total customization of your phone with very easy to mod themes. Also i love the contacts sorting options, like only show contacts with phone numbers and the possibility of removing avatars from contacts and sms.
CM is faster and snappier, with miui i always have a little lag when turning on and unlocking lockscreen and when receiving calls, cm is smoooth like butter.
CM10 base and miui theme engine instead of t-mobile, i think that wouod be the ultimate rom...

Hey there.
I've been using the HTC Amaze for a few weeks and I've had an excellent experience rooting it and flashing custom ROMs. However, Sense UI irks me to no end. I'm currently using Speed Rom 4.0 by EclipzeRemix for the AOSP replacements, and the ICS theme by electronicrice.
This ROM uses the default ICS lockscreen as a replacement lockscreen, which works fine except for one thing - when I use Google Play Music the music controls don't come up. It looks like it wants to do something because the wallpaper vanishes when I listen to music as well.
So here are my questions:
1. How would I go about extracting the CM9 lockscreen and making it flashable onto a deodexed ROM like Speed Rom 4.0?
2. How can I make it possible to add the volume button music control functionality?
Until the kernel source is released for the Amaze and CM9 can be developed properly, I would like my Sense UI to have the most AOSP experience as possible. I am a bit new to ROM/Application development for Android like this, although I've made a few themes in the G1 days and programming is not a new thing for me. I've rooted Android more than I can count too, and can say I'm pretty experienced in that field.
Any answers you can give me would be great, however try not to post something like "Use Widget Locker instead," as I would like to learn how to make a flashable add-on like this.
Thanks!

Your answer totally wen't WHOOSH right over my questions and did not answer what I asked.
Thanks for the tip, though.
My ROM Update Iced Bean 2.1 is about to release within no time :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: . in the last moment i have few questions to know from the users about their choice:
1. Do you want on screen navigation buttons?(Yap! I enabled it :victory
2. What apps do you want to pre-installed in ROM?(sorry I can't add AROMA cause i don't have much knowledge about it)
3. What improvements & tweaks do you want?
4. What is mostly needed in a ROM for daily use. (eg: Speed, Smoothness, Battery-life, Multitasking etc)
5. What about trebuchet launcher or HOLO Launcher HD as default home/Launcher?
****Please ans ASAP cause i'm about to release it within next 1 or 2 days.
ROM RELEASED!!!
I'd prefer battery life, and no frills cpu control, walkman, terminal emulator, Titanium backup. Good luck..!
Daily Use
I prefer Smoothness... eg Project Butter, enabling Vsync, I don't really multitask, but it can be achieve through Supercharger.
I prefer speed and gaming performance, wifi range tweak, sd etc...
1. Do you want on screen navigation buttons?
No I do not.
2. What apps do you want to pre-installed in ROM?
Titanium Backup
4. What is mostly needed in a ROM for daily use?
Smoothness
Battery-life
Smoothness and Gaming performance C: i'll try your rom in your next update n,n
1-)mm i would love onscreen bottons, but if u disable the hardward bottons , 2-) mm maybe just some good wallpapers. 3-) i just really need good battery/performance phone.
No onscreen navigation buttons for me.
Smoothness & Battery Life
Pre-installed: xparts, titanium backup

+1。。。and i dont like aroma 。。。the files are so big。。
enable buttery smoothness
enable xperia v apps like movies,album and walkman
Battery Life and smoothness.
Apps that I would like to see in your ROM: Walkman (ThilianC/Acid Team), Root Explorer
Don't like Aroma anyways. Waiting patiently for your next ROM release
Battery life & smoothness (smooth even when under clocked to 800MHz).
Please don't add walkman. I don't want walkman because I would flash acid audio engine for n7 player (which will not work with walkman). So it would be better to leave that to user
choice. Maybe add a link, from where the user can flash it.
Apps: No frill cpu controller , a file browser (ES/ root browser lite)
Eagerly waiting for your update.

Sorry. Most users prefers Walkman. & AC!D is integrated in my ROM. so don't worry.
No issues.. The decision is yours.
Also please mention the recommended kernel & settings in the post.

Well i'm just try to make the ROM as most users prefers. & 3rd party apps can be easily installed from Playstore
First of all, prepare most light ROM without all apps which can be install from market. I prefer classical ics dialer without any modification or theme, it could be very fast, because in more ROM its very slow to open dialer for example. Good idea would be possibility to change lockscreen wallpaper, transparent status bar, notification toogles in sharp colours, percentuage battery icon, i like black white theme, dont need more colorful ROM, and it could be very stable, smooth and battery friendly.
Do you want on screen navigation buttons?
No I don't.
2. What apps do you want to pre-installed in ROM?
Stock camera
3. What improvements & tweaks do you want?
All tweaks from iced bean 1, but with Xperia T home, because with gx home the camera mod 4.2 doesn't work. About the status bar, I prefer the xperia gx status bar.
aosp lock screen only, others things like contacts, settings etc.. stock
4. What is mostly needed in a ROM for daily use.
Smoothness, gaming performance.
I use others players. I dont like Walkman (for me unlocked BL, downloading audio data does not work ). I use Xperia launcher with HomePreferences. .
hello i know cm7 has a few lockscreens and many options but i dont like any of them! and the ones i do like give a really laggy slow animation when the icons zoom in at you...
im just wondering if theres any mods around that give me a few better options? i do like the MIUI lockscreen where you drag from the centre to either up down left or right to a different app each time, id love this if i could find it! iv tried it on MIlocker but its laggy and buggy as hell lol
can anyone link me to some new lockscreens that will work on my atrix? (cm 7.2 MROM)
thanks! :fingers-crossed:
There are many lockscreen apps available on Google Play. I've also seen some non-MIUI ROMs (can't remember which ones though) that have MIUI lockscreen added, so clearly that's possible too.

yeah iv tried a few and they all seem very laggy mainly because there apps and not built into the software, im guessing anyway :silly:
the only one iv tried that fast is holo locker, but im just really looking for one thats not an app and is flashable so its intergrated into the actuall rom

You can't do that. The default system lockscreen is deeply integrated with the core framework. That means not only you'd need a different flashable ZIP for each and every ROM out there, you'd need a different ZIP even for different versions of the same ROM.

okay i understand thank you.
Holo Locker is a good lockscreen replacement. You can also disable de built-in lockscreen from CM7.
Go to Cyanogenmod Configs > Tablet > Disable lockscreen

well, as ravilov stated, we cant "flash" a different lockscreen since its buried inside the framework, but i did once use a beautifull and FULLY customisable lockscreen that was and actually have an options to stick in memory, so triggering the 3rd party lockscreen is flawless and fluid as hell ! only cons : its a payable app !
Its called Widget locker -> go take a look on the market (every slider style is customisable from MIUI style to Sense to IOS

2 days ago I flashed ICS 4.0.4 on my X10 (ROM Xperia S ICS - CM9,1)
It's so great to have ICS on our X10's but the ROM wasn't complete, so I searched for some .zips to flash with CWM recovery and I found some cool stuff. Obviously our Xperias without Facebook Integration can't be named Xperias, my problem is that I flashed the social engine core and everytime I open Walkman app i get this: FC com.sonymobile.socialengine.plugins. I unchecked it from the list of my performance assistant for it can run, even rebooting i get the same FC. And I'm experimenting freezes screens and some reboots.
I'm on FXP 142 kernel.
I really apreciate if you can tell me how can I fix my 6 issues please:
1) FC com.sonymobile.socialengine.plugins
2) Freezes on homescreen, settings screens
3) Reboots on homescreens.
4) Some toggles like torch and 3g data don't work properly as widgets and in status bar
5) Movie studio app opens normally but when I try to add a picture or a video, even taking a picture, it can't let me do that.
6) Exists any solution to use tether? I was using reverse tethering since July, so it's must have to me.
Thanks to everybody who is gonna help me, I'll click your THANKS button.
AFAIK, no one has integrated the Sony timescape UI into a cm9 ROM.. its laggy n slow.. so don't bother abt it.. Facebook has its own widgets for similar functionality
Although on second thoughts, I think achotjan's ROM has these features.

Yes i have tried AC!D engine before but i just feel it's a gimmick. The only thing i feel it improves is the vocals i feel. But this viper 4 android is a while new level. This can give u everything u need at once and can great singing music with even low quality earphones (if u
