Thanks ! Are the AOSP roms anny better than miui in your opinion ?
First time using miui and I kind of like it. Only the vibration feedback isn't the best wishes this phone.

Mi-globe is a modified version of miui and they have Miui 10 pie for our device. It also has less bloat and ads removed. It also has face unlock, wallpaper carousel, and fixed hide notch.
Aosp roms are fine. They are all basic android (no skin like samsung, htc, etc) and range in features from pure android source to massive customization options.
I have like MIUI since I first tried it back during gingerbread. Only thing I miss is the app drawer but have gotten used to using folders on my home screens.

AOSP has been a favorite of mine but i have to say that MIUI does feel nice to navigate and despite all the snappiness of an AOSP rom . MIUI provides many apps that i believe that are themed and presented better this way, although i prefer the google integrations rather than Xiaiomi ones with cloud and assistant, MIUI provides some settings and ease of use that i would otherwise not know that i needed or missed with Google. Point is: it's still fast, it has nice features and customization, don't like the Xiaomi cloud services or ads as i don't need another service keeping tabs on me.

Is the Mi8 lite global beta in Pie btw? I have conflicted results in my searches

Do you know the estrimated release date?

The 9.2.15 Pie is good. But I was disappointed to see Camera2 Api still as Legacy even with Redmi Note 7 coming as Full.

Whats a good rom?

I havent been here in months so i am really behind in all the roms now, whats a good rom that still has a good kick but something thats out latest? Gingerbread or so, i had miui but im bored of it now
I am wondering the same too. MIUI is way to glitchy for me though. It always force closes and drives me crazy. I wish it didn't because I LOVE THE CUSTOMIZATION for it! But yea, I'm trying CyanogenMod 7 right now, and it's ok. But I kinda prefer MIUI.
I'm on MIUI and using the SS 14.1 Revamped version and have had zero force closes. Have you tried fixing permissions either through ROM Manager or through the advanced menu in the kernel?
If you're bored with MIUI, I think you're stuck. MIUI is the only truly interesting, non-incremental upgrade I've used to date. Everything else feels like a pale shadow in its awesome presence.
CM7 did go stable if you want to play with that a bit. The lockscreen gestures are nice.
I have to agree with kaintfm, I haven't had any FC's in a while. I'm presently on SS-14.1 without any changes to the kernel as it came in the rom. I think if you try MIUI SS-14.1 or LE 5.1 you will be plesantly surprised as to how far they have come.
Is MIUI SS-14 available on ROM manager? Because I didn't see it there. :O Would we have to get it online then?
Right now, I'm using MIUI 1.10.21. That's not the same right?
And OP, I think the best ones out there right now are MIUI and CM7. I absolutely love the lockscreen gestures on CM7! I hope MIUI can do that someday soon. Haha.
Not sure about SS-14 and ROM Manager. I always flash it manually by going into recovery by way of the long-press power menu. You can find it in the developer forums or the Samsung Vibrant forums over on MIUI.us.

[Q] Quick questions re stock ROM

New owner of an SG2, which I'm liking so far. Am coming from N1 Cyanogenmod.
At present I've rooted my phone and am running the stock rom with Launcher Pro.
I'm liking a bunch of the features of the stock rom (well trying them out) and am deciding whether I keep the stock rom or move to a custom rom.
I do have a few questions about the stock rom, which I wonder can be answered here:
- With the pull down menu you have the options of wifi, bluetooth etc in the status bar. Is there anyway of changing these options (for example want to remove bluetooth).
- With the dialler, once I make a call it goes into a screen with a bunch of options, like, save contact, etc. Is there anyway of avoiding this screen and going straight to home? (incidentally you are given the option of "voice call". Is this something provided by your network or another service?)
- Autorotate. Is it possible to NOT have it working on the homescreen, but available in your apps?
In relation to custom rom, what do you guys reckon is as close to stock as possible, but with a bit more customisation. I'm guessing a custom rom would be able to deal with most of my queries.
1) majority of roms have that bar modified where you can slide it across and have upto 12 triggers, although you can't really remove them. However with cm7 and miui you can customize that bar to your hearts content.
2) no idea
3) look in the launcher pro settings, you should be able to set it there so it doesn't auto rotate
Give cm7 a try.

Cheers mate. Was using CM7 fine with my N1, guess just wanted to mix it up a bit. There are a bunch of features I do like about the stock rom though.
I'll run it for another week and then may give MIUI a go.
Checkout jkay mods and themes for stock roms in the theme section.
Can do basically what you want Plus more.
Also many launchers (home screens) can set whether to auto rotate. Set it to off in launcher and leave the system auto rotate on.

Thanks, will have a play with the custom themes.
Also, I presume, if I install MIUI or Cyanogenmod, I could still install the Samsung specific apks?

No, you can not install any Samsung apps on CM. (May be you're thinking you like the stock browser so you want to use it on CM, but you can not).

Sorry for the newb qustions, but is this because of the ROM itself?

Cheers mate. I note you are using GingerMod, may give that a try as it seems to be the AOSP, with the ability to add certain TW apps.

Yes. CM7 and MIUI are build from scratch and doesn't contain anything related to Samsung. So unlike stcok based custom roms, these two roms doesn't support Samsung apps.

Well, the reason you wanted to try is exactly the reason why so many users love GingerMod rom. It has some good apps from Samsung, like the gpu accelerated browser, camera app, fm radio. Rest 95 % is aosp.
So it's pure google experience,no Samsung bloatware, and we can still enjoy some of the real good apps Samsung made.

heh, would love a cyan-samsung bastard child port. If only I had the skills to do that.
Love the ability with Cyan to tweak a whole bunch of settings, but am liking quite a few of the Samsung apps.
Will look into GingerMod as it may be a good compromise.

There is one more reason why i personally like GingerMod.
It is 99% (or 100%) bug free. Infact, i find it more stable than any official firmware.

Cm 11 question

I like the simplicity of cm 11 but the only thing keeping me away from it is a feature. Why doesn't cm have lock screen notifications like other roms?I have seen that the latest snapshot has heads up notifications. Those are cool but I like the loscreen notifications. I know I can use another rom, but other roms have a lot of other stuff that I don't need nor use. For example Like halo omni switch and other stuff.

The best lock screen notification app I've come across is NiLS from the Store. Looks and behaves just like the built in ones you are talking about.
Some Roms just haven't yet included things like that because either they just don't want to or there not at that stage yet where they are comfortable releasing that feature
If you want to try a really sweet rom that does have them along with some other great features without being a total Kanger ROM I highly suggest the latest Vanir Commotio .
It's running flawless for me with Alucards latest kernel. Stable not one FC and battery and performance are awesome.

OnePlus launcher 3.0.0 with shelf working apks

OnePlus launcher 3.0.0 ported from Oneplus 6.
Shelf , Hidden space and other features working (except double tap to sleep maybe).
Tested on Nokia 7 plus running android 9.0 (should work on oreo as well).
Install both apks.
Works flawlessly after granting storage and contacts permission (for the shelf)
Not my work
Just wanted to share.
Is this the new launcher with the brand new ui gestures (swipe up for home, up-to-right for last recent app, etc)?
Installed one on stock pixel 2xl ,and the options are missing, and its the same as asop pie as far as recent apps go.
Thanks
update: I guess the only way to enable the new gestures is through the oxygen os settings? I wonder if a custom apk could be built modified for this? dunno
Works flawlessly on a Lenovo K5 Plus running CrDroid 8.1. Thanks for sharing!

U are correct. Gestures need system setting. Its not related to launcher

Question Best solution for 3rd party launcher + gestures?

Hello lovely community,
I'm getting sick and tired of the stock MIUI launcher. I want something more simple, but the big issue for me, is the ability to use gestures.
I've tried third party launcher along side Fluid Navigation Gestures app, but I don't think it's smooth enough. And it's unrealiable, because the app might crash at some point.
My question is: what's the best solution to this problem?
I am willing to install a custom rom, in case that solves the problem.
This rom is very good.

So I guess that another rom fixes the problem? Are you able to use third party launcher along side with gestures and no navigation bar?
Also, have you noticed any bugs? I've tried other Roms before, I just want something that is somewhat stable. Not too many bugs.

Maybe you would like to try Neo Launcher. It's part of the foss Neo applications suite, and with a very active development.
You can find it in git-hub, F-Droid, its Telegram group...

I was actually hoping to do Niagara or something in that direction.
Does Neo Launcher provide gestures or does it work with the one MIUI offers?
I'm just looking for the best option for Gesture navigation + third party launcher.
Yes it includes gesture navigation and they work, but I've not fully tested all of them.
IMHO you should give a try k no need to install anything)
Ended up installing Pixel Experience Plus and it worked like a charm. Now I use Niagara with system gestures.
Positive experience! Haven't had any issues so far, and the rom seems to have much more to offer than MIUI.
This phone would have been insane with a decent OS. Such a shame that MIUI is so crappy.

Tried out your solution, but it didn't integrate with the built in gestures. As soon as I install the launcher, it will turn on button navigation and I cannot enable gestures.
