MIUI v5​
Changelog, addons, and tips&tricks in second post!​
MIUI lovers rejoice! A fully working MIUI v5 for our Xperia U!
This is my side project. I always loved the looks of miui but we've never had a fully functional miui port for our devices.
But not anymore. I've used @werty100's rom (I hope you don't mind) because it was very good and based on xnovathor, but he stopped developing. And this was the only version which gave me no trouble.
Everything is working as it should, and considering that this is miui, I'm very satisfied. good RAM management, working wifi tether, fixed wifi sleep bug..
Here are some screenshots:
Here's full album of screenshots:
Screenshot album
Features:​
- SlimBean based
- fixed most of the remaining bugs (wifi sleep bug, front camera, RAM management, etc.)
- Phantom kernel by @Pwng3 with overclocks, governors, etc
- Dual TWRP/CWM recovery (thanking to @NoobCoder):
to enter TWRP, press volume up when LED bar is multi-coloured;
to enter CWM, press volume up when LED bar is white.
- Performance control included (you need to enable root permission in miui's security center for it to work)
- Fixed lockscreen lag by implementing custom lockscreen which resembles default one (Default one is way too laggy)
- Sound is loud enough, there's no need for additional sound enhancers
- Many small tweaks and patches...
Download:​
MIUI_v5_3.10.25_v3​
Instructions:​
- Backup your current ROM!
- If you don't have CWM/TWRP, then flash kernel included in ROM
- Enter CWM/TWRP and wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
- Install ROM
- Reboot and enjoy
Repeat this procedure even if you're coming from v1 or v2, since base is changed! Sorry guys
Don't flash any gapps, as this rom has all you need (Playstore and stuff)
Bugs:​
- FM radio, of course.
- Wifi direct (if anyone has tips on how to fix it, please PM me)
- If you don't have 3G, try turning airplane mode on and off, it happens sometimes, not my rom's fault
- After restart, sound is sometimes at max volume, just change volume (this is also inherited "bug")
- Keyboard disappears and music stops under heavy use. I tried to reduce that to minimum, but it will still happen (low RAM's fault)
- That's about it. I don't consider these to be real bugs, but i put this info here to avoid repetitive questions in thread.

Credits:​
@Pwng3 for his great kernel, I think that your kernel has best RAM management
@werty100 for base rom
@NoobCoder for porting TWRP to our devices
@Gava97 for SlimBean
@DroidModderXtreme for modules
@xx214718247 for front cam fix
@BalcanGSM, @rovo89, @BurgerZ, and @DriffeX for WSM and Mi-tools
@PeopleIMayHaveForgot
@xda community

NOTE: BE sure to enable it in WSM

- Hopefully, reduced lag. Added all posible tweaks I know of.

Addons
Additional files (Ones I removed from MIUI, which doesn't serve any function to us, like updater, stats, etc)

MIUI theme for TWRP:

MIUI themed Xperia keyboard:

Once you install it, it will FC when you run it, just clear data under apps, and you're done. It also FC's when you manually want to set vibration&sound, but not through personalisation guide, so no worries. When I have time, I will try to fix it.
Illumination fix:
Download here
Thanks to @akbarreynaldi for the tip
It only has white light, but at least it doesn't have that bug where notification light would stuck at orange when there is some notification.
Tips&Tricks for performance
- Use greenify. it matters. I even greenify Google Play Services.
- Scheduler/Governor: interactive (or interactivex)/sio
- Turn off all touch tones/vibrations and autobrightness
- Regularly use broom to clean RAM and run greenify before playing games. Also, in games keep setting to medium.
- DO NOT use task killers!
- Keep list of installed apps short, please
- Finally, don't expect form heavy rom like MIUI to run smooth on such a weak device as ours
- MIUI's tips&tricks, it's worth reading, you will most probably find something you didn't knew about MIUI

Be aware that this text is written for newer versions of miui, so not all tips&tricks from theis page are applicable to my rom.

If it runs JB then its sure its not for LB cuz for installing 4.0+ roms we require unlocking the bootloader cuz we have to flash custom kernel

Can you update this miui v5 3.10.25 to miui v5 4.1.17?

It's versatile but of course, you can use any app you like, just be sure to delete performace control.
