hi all , i always loved miui ...it looks like iphone but in some ways better ...but in this forum miui roms don't seem to get popular ..at least cm / stock based rom seems to appeal more to the public ..why ?
my jaw dropped when i saw this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej7Qt1NHewQ
miui is so polished and the ui is really great .. i never use stock launcher but this miui launcher might change my mind ..i never use a hdpi device before so i never used miui ...so long story short ..why are miui less popular compared to stock / cm based roms ? ( at least from view ...)
Because its not a Samsung rom and because less people know about it and because i don't like it .

sweriously?? i thought miui is popular ..and why don't you like it ? i am pretty mainstream when it comes to roms ...and is muiu v4 stable for sgs2?
Loved Miui on GB with AOSP framework, hate V4 with Samsung framework.
'nuff said really.
MIUI is indeed a great rom, ive been using it for long time i recently changed back to litening rom just cos of ICS, Miui ics was not that stable for s2 at the moment. Miui has many great features one of them was native data control and open vpn support, which i used a lot.
They have the best notification bar and the level of Ui Customization it provides no other rom has it afaik.

whats wrong with miui v4 besides stabiblity ?
Given making a Nandroid backup of your current setup/restoring same takes all of 5 minutes, why not try it for yourself & see how you find it ?

I prefer Samsung thats why i bought Samsung its as simple as that .
Neither do i like CM nor in fact the majority of themed custom roms on XDA .Nor as of yet ICS in any shape or form .

alot of people use MIUI. v4 is still new, so has some bugs, but galnetmiui is stable enough for daily use for me. great rom.
Miui. or rather Wiui roms (both GB and v4) are what i expected from an android phone.
My ONLY complain concerning v4 based on samsung firmware is... the phone.apk being samsung, thus not matching the miui eyecandy. Other than that, everything is working out of the box. I honestly don't see why people are hating on the samsung base. (but to be fair, i was skeptical too at first).
But we all should wait for more stable releases of both CM9 base and sammy base. I think its too early to compare.
My point, there are feature which are default on miui that i missed on stock/whatever.
And yes, you can get most of those things using certain tweaks and apps on any other rom, but it works out of the box in miui.
-great theming engine (in GB at least, the one in v4 is not working fully yet)
-top bar battery (god i love this feature)
-possibility to drop the notification bar in fullscreen apps. (before i discovered that in miui i was like, wth, iOS has it and android doesn't ? D
-awesome lockscreen + flashlight (yes you can get that on any rom now too)
-dialer (yes exDialer, i know)
-how settings are displayed (i loved the way it was presented in GB, but i know some hated it so much).
my only complain is the launcher. maybe im doing something wrong, but it doesn't feel as smooth as for instance go launcher (transition wise).
plus, the adding widget thingy, once you have a lot of widgets can be really annoying.
other than that, miui ftw !
I am also wondering and raising same questian like OP why are miui less popular compared to stock / cm based roms ?
to whom ever I suggested and made installed MIUI, for my wife, cousin, friend....they all liked very much....none of them want to change back to any other....
Ladies will specially like it due to its superb themes, they chage the theme along with their dress.....whch are available in hundreds, in any type in any colours.......which changes the complete look of the phone in a single tap....applaying on background, font, dialer, sms, toggle/notification bar...almost on everything....what a great ROM....
GB is very stable now, 2.3.9 for SGS2 of both Galnet's and MIUIandroid.uk,
advertize maximum for MIUI, let people know its goodies.....
MIUI V4 2.3.30 is Very good~~
i ahve to agree...to be honest i don't have a sgs2 now ..getting it end of this year >.<

I agree. MIUI is must have rom
miui is nice.. although i dont like.. the galaxy s2 itself looks a bit like the iphone, miui tries to copy the iphone interface onto android.. what's to like? sure it has some nifty functions more.. but i want when people see my phone power on not to ask me is this and iphone? come on... yea it is an iphone.. but's the best iphone anyone could produce! it's the iphone that apple will never make.. !!! that's why i dont like miui.. i like apple products, but not iphone.. funny thing.. let me tell you a story about a friend of mine.. why she wants an iphone? she says because on the iphone when you log into facebook it looks the same as on pc!! and i ask: that's it? she says: yeah.. that's why i want an iphone.. my current smartphone (pretty strong words for a nokia) logs into facebook but it looks different... all i could say is: *****, your argument is invalid!
Hi,
Just a request to the gurus. Would love to see a MIUI ROM
Thanks!
Never been a fan of miui, they develop only for flagship devices, not like cyanogen. But I'd like to see a port.
The best room imo is aokp
I was never a fan of MIUI roms but there were some users in Motorola Milestone and LG Optimus 2x forums and were there few regular MIUI developers too.
MIUI would be awesome on the L9!
I love MIUI
Good for iPhone lovers, I hate it. lolz

is good because is realy "pure" and simply to use. i love to have all apps on screen, i hate the button for enter on drawer
Its too much im thinking more AOKP....NOW THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
Opinions, opinions. I like MIUI for its looks, some others don't. Some of you will think I'm the worst human in the world for liking some fancy pixels, to which I say get a hobby.
We all know MIUI will eventually find its way on this device, as will AOKP, as will PAC, as will other manufacturer-stock UIs.
aokp, love it, miui had it one time to much bugs on my lg o2x, didnt read sd card no music, okay had miui GB version, is fun one time but to much bug never instaled miui again, love to see aosp rom or aokp rom, not that CM is bad but aokp has so cool thing.
but i would also see a custom rom, based on official roms. with tweaks etc. lg did a nice job with there ics and up alot of things ilove
I like MIUI for its easy and neat access to many settings from the notification bar pull down. Like how the notifications and toggles are seperated. Besides that I like the easy theming options.It is very granular. May be all these features are available in ICS an JB just that I haven't played with new devices.
I have been using MT4G with MIUI using Holo launhcer till now. It has been solid. Miss the LED notification button from MT4G.
I think miui is beatiful but UI gets slowed down by so much themeing and theres always this bug where settings menu is laggy as hell.
Gotta say: Haven't had MIUI installed on a device for a year+, but I have been tracking its progress, and these days it's gorgeous.

tutorial for Miui porting
Just a question. I've been using my RN4 for cca. 2 months now and I am really impressed with the device.
My question is; Why would you flash an AOSP/CM/whatever ROM, if MIUI works without problems and the device's speed is really great too?
My last device was LG G2, and there was a big difference in terms of speed between Stock LG ROM (all the stupid apps) and CM, but here, I dont know if you would get that much on speed.
Also, that "free" MIUI cloud backup is great, camera with those effects is cool too. I've not encountered a single problem with my stock/not rooted RN4 (Snapdragon).
There are other cool MIUI features, which are not in other AOSP/CM ROMs included. (maybe in RessurectionRemix but still)
What are your thoughts about this one?
Is there a big difference in speed, camera, battery between stock/not rooted and rooted CM/AOSP ROM?
for me its how they handle notification and multitasking. Too agressive with killing apps. No one finger expand. Outdated emoji support. If they fix all that i'd gladly switch back to MIUI
Imho the UI sucks.
Because MIUI just ****s up the material design, doesn't regard the default notification in AOSP, have aggressive memory management and **** cheetah apps disguised as normal system apps.
If I have to give two reasons for using custom ROM:
1. Overall look and feel of material design
2. Notification handling in AOSP Nougat, it is the most
beautiful thing ever happened to Android.
In the end its users choice whether to stick to stock ROM or flash custom ROM depending on their experience.
Oh XDA censors curse words!!
Cuz their ui is cancerous xD

are aops roms stable anyway?
I use Resurrection ROM 5.8.3 and it is rock-stable. But RR is Lineage-OS-based, not AOSP.
My reason to use a Custom-ROM: with MIUI I can't use my Samsung Gear Fit 2. The Gear-App doesn't start in all MIUI-based ROMs. With AOSP/LineageOS-ROMs no problems.
Miui has lots of bugs that take forever to be fixed.
I think Miui is a way of Xiaomi to spy on users....
MIUI have a lot of spyware in their bloatware apps. Which I don't like.
MIUI is like pre-GraceUX Touchwiz.
Lots of interesting features but not polished, and there's no consistency across the whole UI.
For the free cloud backup, Google's Drive and Photos are better in my opinion, you can sync your contacts and messages as well.
As for the camera, I'm happy with the Camera2API on AOSP ROMs.
Because if you also have an iPhone you don't need MIUI ?
Kidding aside, there's a lot of reasons why AOSP is better than MIUI and there's a lot of reasons why MIUI is better than AOSP.
I personally prefer AOSP (Slim 7 specifically) because of it's speed and general lack of complications.
I don't like being asked by the SMS app if I'd like to send my SMSs to the Xiaomi servers, or my pictures, or every time I'd use some app that used the internet to be forced to accept some privacy policy.
I want Android, clean, no bull$$1t. That's where Slim won my heart. I tried other AOSP ROMs as well but I got disappointed with the lack of responsiveness caused by features that should make your life easier but the phone slower. Also all ROMs using the substratum theme engine have an easily perceived delay in operation.
If you'd like to stick with MIUI, then go for the nougat development version. The increase in responsiveness is considerable compared to the stable version based on marshmallow.
Nonetheless, if you want the same security as on an iPhone or more expensive Android phones, do not unlock your bootloader at all. The simple fact that your bootloader is locked will render your device useless to a thief. Although he may not know that before he steals it...
Why there is still no Lineage or a different Rom out yet? I dont mean the fRoms with stock, i mean stock Android.
Please i want stock Android on the Phone, i hope in future there will be roms.
I'm on your side, but I thing it's not gonna happen. Nobody wants to make a new rom for 5 users. The P10 community is way too small and Huawei made it not really easy.
One thing, I would miss with AOSP is the usage of the finger print sensor. I don't know if it's possible on stock.
I mean for the P9 there is lineage 14, it would be enough to me, there is no need for the newest android 8 lineage 15 rom, it would take also long until we would get lineage 15 for the p10, but stock android 7 is all i want to have.
And why do you want that?
Huawei kirin is not the best one for Lineage but for emui it is.
You will lost some great features if you install lineage.
If that's your favorite Android you should think about change your phone to Pixel or similar phones.

Yeah I can understand your point of view, and maybe it's not the best for stock android, but my P10 was a gift and in the moment I ain't able to buy a pixel sadly. Is it really that hard to build lineage 14.1 for the P10? I don't come along with emui it's just don't my thing, it's for me just like iOS for android and I don't like it, I love stock android and it would be amazing if there would be coming out a aosp or lineage rom.
I also had difficulties getting used to EMUI, but with the right theme (you can even install a pixel theme!) and Nova launcher, the look and feel are quite ok, I think.
Yeah thats true, there are a lot of themes out, but sadly not one has it all right. One theme have different colors in the download-section some gray and black statusbar icons and other one have false status bar icons on it self then it would be in stock, so i tried to get a complete theme by using the theme editor from the play store but it isnt working at all sadly, so i have to make compromises and thats not feeling nice if u want to have a stock oreo/nougat experience. So i really hope that there will be roms in future, if its needed i would have with all i can, test alpha builds etc, somehow the development must going to start at least now.
I wasn't a fan of EMUI at first but have to say I have gotten used to it and really do like it. Not a fan of most OEM overlays but this is one of the better.
Have you tried Lawnchair? On my G4 I used that from the get go and it was still in development and new versions released all the time but was only getting better for fully stock N/O feel. I haven't been following it since this but may be worth a look?
Haven't looked into yet either to see what it's like as still at work, but just had this YouTube recommendation come through on my phone too.
You dont even need such a launcher like nova or lawnchair, u can download the official Pixel 2 Launcher from here, from xda, just the official apk.
And i think when i use the Pixel 2 Launcher, i need to have the complete Android Pixel Stock expierience, its not mention to have any of the Pixel Launcher with that EMUI around it, its my opinion and i am maybe to much pernickety in such things, but thats how i am, and because of that i really wanna have a Android Stock Rom on this device.
Hey guys, I found this
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/gsi/MIUI/
Do you think this images could work on our device?
Why did you get a mi a3 if you wanted miui? Redmi note 7 or mi 9cc have miui.
And why would you actually want memeui on your device in the first place.
Better to stick with something with little bloat

Because of the features, I know some people who prefer MIUI over stock because of some of the features that it provide. There are people who likes the MIUI look than the stock look. I know people who really adore the so called "bloatware". Also MIUI used to provide better battery life than stock android back in the day, but I don't know how's that situation right now.
That should explain your "Why?" concern

And so ..... Will it work or not? Because your answer does not solve the question at all. I'm glad you're happy with Android stock, but there are other people who want to try MIUI (by the way, calling it MEMEUI wasn't funny the first time, so you can end calling it that way) so just let other people do whatever they want without judging them..
Stock android is really boring compared to miui. I always root so adverts are not a problem. Miui has matured into a very good rom, which useful features & battery life. I wanted to give android one a try, but so far not impressed. I am sure its the same way many others feel too. You can move from miui to aosp (treble) but cant move from Android One to Miui, which makes me admit that Miui phone is even a superior choice.
