Hi,
Well I like the Official Miui rom but some functions I loved got removed by xiaomi so I finally want to break out.
I want to actually use the Notification Logs that came with Android 11 (don't know why xiaomi removed it) and I miss the option to set the priority of notifications. I used this one a lot because I had some notifications I wanted to see when I pull down the bar, but I don't need to see the icon all the time.
Also more customization would be nice...
So I'm asking you here, wich ROM comes the closest to a stock android experience or wich ROM is the 'best' one.
Thank you and have a nice day!

Without hesitation:

or

there's Pixel Experience which are the same as Pixel phones, HentaiOS which are heavily tuned for great user experience, or Evox if you want more customization than barebone. LineageOS are similar to AOSP. There's so many ROMs to try, really.

This seems to be only something offered in the Cyanogen Mod builds (TeamHacksung) for now. In the meantime, Widgetsoid v2 should do the trick for you. I decided to just switch to THS Build 16 and I love it, much more customization.

The answer is NO. ICSSGS is AOSP rom, so if source released by google themselves doesn't include a thing, that thing wont be included in ICSSGS. I miss them too, but there's nothing to do, except, of course, going back to stock or going to Teamhacksung's (i think they have it, but i didnt test that rom since i'm on i9000b)
Oh, and you can also try Widgetsoid or any other app like that, wich includes an option to put toggles in status bar, but it looked awful to me. Try it yourself.
So, a few days ago Apple announced iOS 8 and previewed some of it features. This made me look back into Android, specifically Stock Android. And with Google I/O just around the corner, here are some things that I wish Google will improve on.
The Dark, Old, and Gloomy Holo UI
When it first came out, Holo UI was the thing. Everyone who was still on Gingerbread wanted it, they installed launchers and even modded framework and stuff. Skip forward 3 years, Holo UI is still here with a little change on the icon colours. Some may love it, but it's definitely getting boring. There are rumours that the next version will be 5.0 instead of 4.5. I hope that with the 1.0 jump, there will be a major UI overhaul.
The Not So Helpful Quick Tiles
Quick Tiles, when you look at it it really seems to help make things quicker. "Oh look, the WiFi icon. If I press this, it's gonna toggle the WiFi, right?" NOPE, clicking it will bring you to the Settings section while long pressing it will toggle it instead. I don't know how long it's been like this but I've only tasted stock since 4.2.2 and it's still like this on KitKat so... Someone in the UX Department needs to be scolded.
Not only it's rather misguiding, the toggles itself doesn't offer that much. There are no tiles for NFC, Sync, Auto Rotation and there's no way to add them either. Custom ROMs and manufacturers' skins however offer all these for years and even after a few 0.1 updates, Google doesn't seem to touch this. Which makes me wonder if most people prefer it Google's way. I definitely don't.
KitKat Transparency Not Being Used
When KitKat was announced, the transparent status bar and navigation bar really wowed me. I was hoping the colours would match accordingly to which app is opened. But apparently, apps need to be updated and coded to take advantage of this. Which is fine, there are a few apps that does this but what baffles me is Google isn't one of them. Other than Google Now Launcher, everything pretty much stayed the same. How can others be motivated to do this when even Google isn't doing it.
It Lacks Appeal to the Public Eyes
Have you seen what other skinned Android can do without installing other apps? Multi-Window, Dual Capture Camera, Slow Motion Video Capture, Floating Apps, Power Saving Mode, Video Calling, and many more. What can Stock Android do? Well, normal stuff every Android smartphone can do except those above I guess. Stock Android are designed for developers and tech enthusiasts so it should be normal to stay as de-bloated as possible but don't you want some of those goodies that other skins offer?
Your Thoughts?
Yes, there are apps that can do the stuff above and Xposed Framework can help, but we're talking about pure stock Android without roots and many other stuff. Which makes me wonder, being a Nexus user, how many of you guys stay pure stock?
With competition heating up such as iOS's possible split Window Mode and Windows 8.1's Cortana, not to mention other emerging OS such as Tizen, Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish and Firefox OS; Android need to step up it's game on the next version. What do you think will make Stock Android better?

Custom ROMS are way ahead of this.. Stock, naaaa.. Custom roms you get features satablility and sort of completeness. It defeats stock by a long margin.

Yeah, tried stock for a week, couldn't stand it :silly: With all those bugs, it makes you wonder if people at Google actually uses stock Android or never tried custom ROMs, lol.

LOL,Nice one.
+1 on that
The New Year's exploding fireworks animation in the Pie 9.0 roms is dope AF I love it ...but... It's well passed the 1st of January and it's gotten annoying because it's still going on and it LAGS the quick pull down on pie roms. I thought it was a cool SkyDragon rom feature... Then I went to Havoc rom and it's still there..... Anyway I can shut it off???, there are no options I can find in the Havoc or SkyDragon roms settings. I even went into Titainium Backup to search if I can find something of status bar animation to disable, there's nothing similar to it. It's a very neat feature but gah dannggg enough already...... Lagging my shi++ up everyday.
I'm on HavocOS and this too, had the New Year's Eve animation feature. I was able to turn it off from QS Settings under ROM Customization. The Dev for Havoc also removed this in the next update, so try updating SkyDragon and the feature will be gone.
Thanks allot for the reply. I will give it a try.
Since your a mod, you can delete this thread if ya want to help keep the clutter down or for others to see that are wondering the same problem bro.

So, i found the problem, look really strange but, looks like turn off MIUI Optimization in developer settings change icons shape, at least 3rd party ones! So, i fount that after reflash the whole ROM again...good, a tons of settings and changes to made to put them like i want but at least found the culprit!
Hope Xiaomi do a update to fix this, since i dont know why and how MIUI Optimization can affect icons shape, and this dont make sense at all!

Thankyou, that fixed it and also fixed the leftmenu first panel in homescreen where by trying to expand it was causing a weird visual bug where, now that i can see it normally, was basically trying to expand it but keeping the bounds of the original panel, therefore just spreading the icons inside. Now everything seems working fine.
Also reverting it back on active is not causing the bug to reappear.
Xiami Mi9 t pro (right out of the box literally opened it 3 days ago)
After update to MIUI 11.0.3.0 on Mi MIX 3 happened to me as well on stock ROM. Turning off optimization also helped.
God thank you, sun_is_shinning. I already tweaked the hell of themes and icons with no result. Now I want to use my phone again.
Also in that update they did something to animations so they became annoyingly slow. I made all the animations 0.5x in developer options and it became less annoying but some apps relying on it are now showing ridiculously fast animations but it's bearable.
Hi, I cant find this "MIUI Optimization" menu in developer settings.
MIUI 11.2
help bro is there any alternative way to fix the square icon ? other than flashing whole rome
Hi guys,
I have a freshly rooted Xiaomi Redmi 4x with Havoc OS 4.16 installed, which is based on android 11 and Pixel 5.
Thus, this is a question about Pixel 5's UI even if the phone is not a pixel 5 ( it does appear as one in Google Play Store).
I noticed when I install an app, the automatically generated home screen shortcut is created not on the home screen but on the next one to the right. The more I think of it, the more I realize this might be in fact a good design idea, because the user might want to keep the main home screen clean and under his/her control. However, for the sake of it, is there a setting to tell the UI to create new shortcuts on the main screen instead? I looked in the settings but could not find it.
I do know I can move them, no issue in that.
Edit. This might be the wrong forum though, 'cos I just read Havoc OS uses Material Design 2 UI.
"Havoc-OS 4.x is based on AOSP, inspired by Google Pixel. Has a refined Material Design 2 UI crafted by @SKULSHADY".
I don't suppose Google Pixel 5 uses this UI.
If that's the case, I kindly ask a mod to DELETE this. Thanks!
