CM7 vs Miui - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do you guys prefer CM7 or Miui? I have been on CM7 for a few weeks and just flashed Miui. They are both 2.3.3 android although CM7 is closer to stock AOSP. I can see some benefits with both roms, and am wondering what others think.

I would go with cyanogen mod7.

This is all preference. I find both awesome, miui takes more user bug fixes and work arounds. Both are beta. Advanced users, or users who have a good working knowledge of their phone should only flash either.
MIUI

I think I like CM7 more. Miui is too much like an iphone. I think thats what they are trying to copy. For example, rather than have an app drawer, you have to store your apps in folders on the homescreen, just like on the iphone.

Yes I like an app draw, so I created a folder and placed all apps not on home screen in it then placed it on dock. I get the iphone comparison but there are many differences between miui and ios
MIUI

Guys u can install any drawer like adw and use miui like any regular android
What i miss in CM 7 are some modifications like lockscreen Gestures, custom app starters , arabic language
But the MIUI still has some awesome features like low battery mode, pimped out notification pull down menu, etc...
so am pretty lost

I agree

I am using it with ADW launcher EX. Thats pretty nice.

I'm running cm7 miui wasn't stable for me on my captivate.

If you know enough, I would just use both really, setup cm7 the way you like it then nandroid it. Set up miui the way you like it then nandroid it. Restore when you want one or the other. Works for me. Best of both worlds
Ps do not try to nandroid restore on other roms to roms. This works like that with miui and cm7 for they share same base.

Can I flash MIUI over CM7?

didn't see a reply on this so i decided to jump in and answer this. From what I know, both are 2nd-init roms and you can flash miui over cm7. and just to note, you should NOT use bootstrapper in both roms whatsoever.
hope this helps.
And as far as the two comparisons/choice, I go with CM7. I am currently running nightly 38 without a single problem. From what I have been reading, there are too many bugs running around miui. However, I really like the way customizing is set up for miui. you can overlap themes and lockscreens. I think i might give miui a try when it becomes a bit more stable. Maybe flash miui and then flash nightly 50's CM7. haha.

MIUI <3 Way better customizations and i believe android is all about customizations

[Q] Which rom?

Hello. I'm relatively new to flashing roms (I just recently rooted my phone) and I'm wondering what is the best rom for me. I like sense, but I want to play angry birds. What is a rom that is the least laggy for angry birds?
Also, I see a lot of people who say they use CM6. I assume that is cyanogenmod 6, but I'm unclear whether it is. The one under darchstar's thread? or another one, like aosp's 2.2 or jaybob413's? Which one of those is best (of their stablest release)?
Thank you so much for your time and patience with me
I like & I'm using cm6.1 stable. I've never tried AOSP but I've heard it's faster than & smoother than cyanogen. You don't have to get cm6.1 from a thread here though, you can just go to cyanogenmod.com & download it with the corresponding gapps if you want. I like cm better because it has a lot more customizable options. There are a lot of great themes for you to try out once you get flashing & roms down hope this helps

I tried angry birds on cm and aosp and a few others. I found aosp 2.2 runs angry birds the best by far. However, it is still going to be a little laggy.

Sorry to say but on AOSP you're out of luck because they don't have those options. You can change clock notification status bar & etc. colors on cyanogenmod though which is actually why I prefer it but to each is own Your best bet on AOSP is to find a theme you like & flash it but customizable wise I believe that's as far as you'll get

1. A lot of people have been having problems with MIUI Releases hotfixes come out but do not get added to the roms.
2. A lot of people use launcher pro along with MIUI this saves them a step
3. People don't like ads, especially not ones that take up half of the screen on certain websites.
4. MIUI is a testing rom, by removing/replacing the broken applications and aspects of the rom people can have a stable, minimal MIUI.
5. I am bored, seriously this is a big reason. I decided to get bored and start customizing a rom to my liking, I feel others may like it as well... some will some will not.
6. Some people that I personally know have had friends of theirs root there phone and install a rom for them and were uncomfortable using recovery to flash hotfixes so their friends (usually me) than hotfix the phones, update it to the way they want, etc... its a time waster to have to do updates after every new update to MIUI this one will be updated after all the hotfixes for the roms are out.
7. Why not?
Thank you! I love this rom

TBH, I've never tried MIUI on the Inc. It used to be my rom of choice on my Nexus One. So I had no idea that all these apps were broken, so that makes sense to remove them. But why remove the notifications? That;s what threw me off.

Just the notification tones. I find most people use custom tones. I will most likely release a version without them removed.

New MIUI lockscreen on cm7

Is it possible to make the new miui lockscreen flashable just like the miui camera is?
Should be able to. Just try to push it to system/app before you do just to make sure its gonna to work first.
The lockscreen in miui isn't an apk so I don't think it is that easy. I doubt their lockscreens will work on other rom's either.
Oh ok. well I don't know much about miui. Im sure someone could figure it out though
Just use MIUI its better anyway.... Has Iphone, sense3.0, and gingerbread lockscreens without zips to install just go into themes...
I'm pretty sure it's tied into the framework... so, lots of work to do there if you're truly interested, haha. I'd use MIUI but CM7 is just faster and there's a million more, IMO, useful customization features compared to MIUI... pretty much the whole Cyanogenmod Settings tab. The one thing that really bugs me about MIUI is the menu system. It's beautiful, as it replicates that of the iPhone, but it's always been so laggy for me, I can't deal with it.

That's a shame. From the pictures, it looks like a combination between the honeycomb ring/ripple-lock and the sense 3.0 ring-lock. Both of which I like, so the newest miui lockscreen had me all excited. Lol

MIUI is built from open source but the rom itself isn't open source. It simply isn't possible.
MIUI > Vanilla Android
I was a loooooooooong time CM6 and CM7 user. But the latest MIUI is blazing. IMHO it's faster than CM7 in day to day use (I don't benchmark) and more stable.
MIUI has so many hidden subtleties throughout the ROM. Use it for a week and see if you like it
I liked MIUI in the froyo days. It was super stable and smooth. However ever since Gingerbread it's been much laggier across the board and far less stable than the froyo build. Swiping between homescreens is no longer smooth unless you use a hack that disables wallpaper scrolling (miuiandroid build) or keep your homescreens widget free with minimal icons. Of course if you use an alternate launcher then that isn't even a concern. But as mentioned earlier, the menus are also very laggy and annoying to use. I will admit the new dark theme makes it look a dream, but it has a bug that makes screen rotation take a relatively long time to flip and as such less usable.
CM7 may not have the aesthetic superiority that MIUI has but at least everything is smooth and gingerbread. I would love to see the MIUI lockscreen on CM7 but that will never happen.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
To all that have a complaint about MIUI - the rotation lag is normally tied to a theme at the moment, I don't get lag anywhere else. Make sure you try your favorite launcher as well - I don't like the one that comes with it but if I swap over to Go launcher everything is nice and smooth again and I can find my stuff!
On the other hand, I have never found a rom other than CM7 with so much raw speed. CM7 will restore all my stuff insanely fast - all others are fairly slow in comparison. But how often do you go restoring everything unless you swap roms daily and are on fresh builds! I have really been enjoying MIUI lately, especially with the new themes and lock screens.
I'd say my favorite thing about MIUI is not having to install a decent camera app everytime. That was kind of annoying with CM7 which is otherwise wonderful as is.

All reports thus far seem to indicate it doesn't open on the captivate, regardless of the rom you're running. I didn't work on mine, either. Its pretty ironic that it installs and runs perfectly on my Atrix, but not my samsung phone.
Personally, I don't like it that much. Its a cool concept, but kinda clunky and its missing a lot of customization features. Launcher pro is still #1 for me.

haven't tried it but the reviews don't look so good.
I still think ADW EX is the best and for a different look and feel Launcher 7 Pro
ADW has catalogue groups in app drawer which is similar to what Pure seems to describe in the video.
Works Fine on Phoenix Unleased.
I extracted it with root explorer and pasted the lib files in system /lib and bin files in system/ bin. I then fixed permissions in recovery and re booted. Worked fine..... I just didn't like it. I'm runnim latest version of miui

It's funny, because I did read the reviews and they weren't so stellar. For me, it's one of those reasons that I flash the heck out of this phone; it gives it something a little different until either there is a new rom to play with, or I can afford new hardware. Oh well; thanks for the feedback guys.

The newest ADW EX has cured my impatience for ICS(4.0)

Aside from being gorgeous and buttery smooth on my Nexus S 4G... and aside from being ridiculously customizable as it always has been... I just did a full wipe and installed it after not using it for a while.
Running a completely stock 2.3.7 rooted ROM because I'm just sick of stability issues with ICS ROMS (big loves to the brilliant devs that are working on them, btw... I know the stability problems aren't their fault... Google needs to hurry the f**k up!).
Back to my point... they've built in some of features that the ICS launcher has. Like:
dropping icons from your homescreens on top of each other to automatically bundle them into an auto-sized folder.
automatically adjusting the scale and position of the icons on the dock (which you can just drag and drop stuff off of)
Give it a whirl! This is Android perfection right here! I was thinking about getting a Galaxy S2 just for giggles but I've fallen in love with my phone again and saved myself $500
While I love ADW EX. Using ICS is just too good to go back. I don't know what stability issues you experienced, ICS has been wonderful for myself. Loving the browser and battery life. The overall feel of ICS is more fluid and just makes sense. Cut and paste is a great example.

Terrible battery life on every ROM I've tried (oICS, CM9 Alphas, CM9 Kang, etc). And if it's not battery life, it's random reboots, launcher force-closes, screen flickering, slow or laggy homescreen or app drawer transitions, etc.
Yes, I've done full wipes. I even use that wipe script linked in the NS4G Dev section.
This is the smoothest, most stable Android experience I've ever had, right now... and I've had a Nexus One, EVO 4G, Epic 4G, and a couple other ghetto phones.
Well, I am running pete's "almost stock" rom and it is perfect, not a single issue.

OK, the official OTA was already released and this rom was cooked using it. Are you waiting for a new OTA, like 4.0.4?
My favorite combo is ADW Ex with sph33r's ICS v2. ADW makes ics that much better - I'm loving it. Everything is smooth as silk and configured exactly how I like it.

am using BM's stock ICS + eugene's stock 3.0.13 kernel. battery and speed are great! no reboots, no FC's.
Used Adw a long time back. The thing I was most uncomfortable with was the single dock. Would have loved it had it included configurable no. of docks as with launcher pro or nova.
The problem I have with ICS & nova launcher is that some widgets (Scrollable News Widget to be precise) says that it's incompatible with launchers that do not support scrollable widgets ... although I know that many other widgets work well.

3.x and up has support for scrollable widgets, so dev's of those widgets you're talking about need to re-code them.
I used ADW ex prior to upgrading to a custom ICS ROM.
Few things; ADW in no way compares to the premium and smooth feel of legit ICS. ICS has so much more and is vastly improved. An earlier poster mentioned the new copy/paste. Aside from that we have the new tabs in the browser, better auto-correction, the kick ass multitasking/recent tab, the overall UI and so much more.
If you like the ability to change icons and notice there isn't much support for that in ICS try out Nova Launcher. It's beta 5 right now but it's awesome. You can change icons easily, and more. Not to mention the app drawer very closely resembles ICS which I love.
The only thing I feel ADW EX has that ICS (coupled with Nova Launcher on a Custom ROM) doesn't have is capacity of folders. The ICS folders can't fit all of my games so I have to use "alternative" folder apps which blows. Once they fix that ICS will win at life, 3 times over. Then CM9 will come out and make us **** ourselves in excitement XD!

Have you tried ADW with ICS? I was not at all impressed with the stock ics launcher, although it is quite a bit better than the gb launcher.
ADW mostly just adds to what ics provides and as far as I can tell, only the app drawer widget picker/market link are missing (I did not use those anyway).
I run vhgomez's ICS v1.2 with the latest ADW Ex and the App Widget Picker replacement apk. Friggin sweetness.

I just don't like it.... I prefer Nova Launcher with ICS. So much better IMO
Ya, I've been using the new adw for most of my ICS time, and it's been pretty smooth. There are 2 things tho that I like much better in the Stock ICS launcher (Trebuchet).
Most of my scrollable Widgets in ADW are messed up.. especially the native calendar and browser bookmark Widgets. It seems like ADW registers the downward motion as a gesture attempt.. even though none defined.
Second is folders in the bottom bar.. which I really like in ics launcher. Definitely gonna try Nova tonight tho.
