Neurophonic posted:The fact the weekly updates actually add full new features or three and don't introduce many new bugs is incredible, I've been using it for well over a month and haven't missed CM6 much at all. I'm using the The Bundle, which is just the basic stuff. I'm even sticking with the stock Launcher 2, since it's actually kinda nice once you get used to it. The new settings is a shameless iPhone ripoff, but it works as well as the other one did so who cares. The whole UI is very nice. I really want to see Google hire the MIUI guys and Team Douche and just hand Android development to them. Between the two of them, they could do some intensely cool poo poo. flyboi posted:MIUI + AOSP icon set makes it more than tolerable. I absolutely hate the stock MIUI icons but I love all the customizations that come with each week. It would be cooler if they would do like 2 week updates or something because the weekly flashing to see what awesome new crap is in is cumbersome. Plus I am helping with the MIUI-dev team with translation and theming which gets tiresome. I'm fine with iPhone icons, so it doesn't bug me. Weekly flashing isn't too bad if you have ROM Manager, but you're right, I really wish someone would put something up on ROM Manager for this. LastInLine posted:It's not there. If it wasn't there, installing BusyBox wouldn't add it, it would just probably make it able to back it up. Mogomra posted:It's gotten way way better.

It's still definitely Android, which is great, but things like the Lockscreen, MusicPlayer and notification tray are so much nicer that it blows my mind.

I'm really happy with my current setup, but from watching a video of it, there's a few things that really stand out with MIUI that I'd love to see elsewhere: * Waaaaaaay better homescreen management (drag and drop to rearrage? why the gently caress don't I have that now?) * Widget placement system that takes the guesswork out of "do I have room for this widget I've never seen before?" * Cleaner menu interface

Oh god help me. I rooted my EVO, backed everything up with titanium backup, and flashed MIUI for EVO 1.29 with ROM Manager (backing up my ROM when I did it). Now it won't boot! Oh god oh jesus christ, oh  , it just goes to the ANDROID MIUI logo, stops, then repeats itself over and over and over without ever booting. Did I do something wrong?

Oh god oh jesus christ, oh It's a boot loop. No big deal. Boot into recovery to fix. Did you wipe data and cache? If not, do that, then re-flash the rom in Recovery. If so, do it again, reflash the rom. If it doesn't work, or if you want to go back, just restore the backup from Recovery.

Oh god my phone is hosed help me. First, take a deep breath - it's incredibly difficult to brick an Android phone. Is your phone in a bootloop? Does everything force close everytime your phone starts? You can fix all of this very easily. Boot into Recovery. How to do this varies by phone - for instance, on the N1 you hold down the trackball and turn the device on, then select Recovery from the Bootloader option. Google around to find out how to do it for your phone - it'll be quicker than asking here and waiting for a response. Once you're in recovery, you have a few options. First is a no-wipe flash. This means basically flashing the rom you're currently using again - this will fix any gently caress ups to the /system files or default poo poo. This is a great first step, since it's non-destructive - you won't lose any data. The zip should be on the root of your SD if you installed it manually, or in the clockworkmod downloads folder if you used rom manager. If this doesn't work, Wipe and Flash. Choose the Wipe data and Wipe cache options. You might also wanna wipe android_secure and anything els that's an option. Then, flash your rom. This is basically a factory restore of your rom - it'll take you back to a brand new phone. This will NOT wipe your sd card generally, so you won't lose pictures or music or anything, but it's always good to have a backup just in case. Then, flash your rom as above. There's also Nandroid Restore. Everytime you mess with your rom, take a backup. Applying a theme? take a backup. Flashing a new rom, take a backup. Modifying a single file? You should probably take a backup. It takes a few minutes and very little space, and it saves you a ton of time. DO IT. Choose the restore option. Note that Clockwork mod has the option of restoring specific parts of a backup - generally, you'll want to chose the Restore All option, but there might be a reason for restoring only one. There's no need to wipe or flash anything here, since it will be overwritten. Recovery will also let you mount your phone to your PC - this is usually called USB-MS or some variation. Using this option lets you copy backups to/from your PC, as well as put new rom zips on your phone. Very useful. Generally, Recovery will let you fix any issue with your rom itself. Bootloops, bad apps, permissions gone nuts, whatever. It'll fix you right up. If, for some reason, you can't get into recovery, you're a bit more limited. Depending on the phone, you might be in trouble. Boot into fastboot/hboot/bootloader. Again, google how to do this. N1 is hold trackball and power on. The bootloader is a very small, low level system that allows you to flash images of various types. This will require a PC with a working usb/adb driver, so make sure you have that set up. You can then use the fastboot application on your computer to flash a new recovery image. Note that this is only going to work with an unlocked bootloader. The Nexus One has one, and believe most HTCs have an option to do this when rooting - it might be called S-OFF or similar. This will let you re-flash your custom recovery. If your phone is NOT S-OFF/unlocked bootloader, you might still be able to return it to stock. To do this, find a thread on XDA/similar for your phone devoted to a return to stock. You'll need to find a 100% stock Recovery image and a 100% stock rom image. Follow the directions from the thread you found the images in to restore yourself to a factory recovery, and then use that to flash a factory update.zip. This will unroot your phone, so keep that in mind. S-OFF is, aside from being a major convenience, a safety net. It's the only thing that you generally can't undo if you're planning to get warranty service but it will allow you to fix almost any software issue. HTC has been good about honoring warranties for hardware defects even on S-OFF phones, but it's not guaranteed.

So I tried out and played with MIUI on my EVO. I liked it a lot, however the battery life was abysmal when idle and I couldn't get used to having a ton of homescreens for every single app I had and I missed the App drawer terribly. I know you could make folders for your apps in MIUI, but that just became burdensome after some time and I gave up. If there was a way to use MIUI and literally have the LauncherPro app drawer icon on bottom dock, I'd be sold. I've even considered putting every app I don't need on my home screen into a single folder and go from there, but browsing your apps from the folder view is burdensome and not very efficient in that small window. I guess I'm not very good at dealing with change

Plus I was having some major issues with the Market and AGPS. Vanilla 4 lyfe, y0. Edit: Credit to the MIUI group for making a fantastic Android ROM though. I like it way more than Sense or any of the other carrier OS injections.

Flashed CM6.1rc2 on my wife's slide, everything seems a-okay. She doesn't gently caress with her phone like I do, but I assume all is well. I did an in-place upgrade over rc1, so if she reports any nastiness, I'll run a clean install and see if it behaves better. I also got off my rear end and rooted and flashed my Vibrant because I was tired of waiting on samsung. I tried Axura 2.0.5, and it's nice, except for some goofy font and UI elements. Still, it shows a lot of polish, and it's certainly quicker. Mainly, I was just sick of the cool stuff coming in requiring 2.2, and I was on the sidelines. I'm looking forward to trying out Onyx once they work out all their bugs. The XDA forums for the team whiskey roms have a lot of gotcha's. It was also nice to be able to do a regular clockwork install, rather than have to mess around with the odin nonsense. Hoping that the Nexus S means that the galaxy series gets an early 2.3.
