As most of you know, cyanogenmod beats just about everything, in terms of speed and reliability. If you haven't tried it here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957336
But coming from Sense, one thing i can't stand is how ugly (and sometimes not functional) some of the apps are.
This thread will attempt to compile a list of the top replacement apps for:
Camera(/Video camera)
Browser
Keyboard
Browser
Gallery
Dialer
SMS
Music player
Facebook Integration
I'll post the ones which are generally agreed to be the better ones in the next post, possibly with download links. Please try them, and others, and provide reviews.
Please note, i know that there cannot be one BEST app, but id like to get reviews of the top few, and then anyyone can choose for themselves.
And also, these aren't necessarily for Cyanogenmod only; if you're not happy with the stock apps you can try these out too.
CAMERA:
Ive tried MIUI camera and it works great; takes good pictures, functional and pretty fast. But I heard there were some problems with video capture; not recording 720p.
APK file is in a zip file attached to this post. Unzip, then install like normal APK. (Thanks stony2k)
Camera360 Ultimate seems to be the favourite. Has a whole bunch of options and takes pretty decent pictures. Doesn't support video recording though which sucks.
https://market.android.com/details?id=vStudio.Android.GPhotoPaid
BROWSER:
After trying a bunch of different browsers, I've got to say that Dolphin Browser HD is the smoothest, most functional of all the browsers, and far better than even the sense browser. It supports gestures, full screen mode, delete history on exit, add ons and all these features make this a must try:
LINK
Alternatively, you can try Dolphin Mini. Its extra light, so it uses a lot less memory, and always runs smooth:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dolphin.browser
If you don't always use flash, I'd recommend Firefox.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&hl=en
KEYBOARD:
If you like the stock HTC keyboard, try this; its a VERY customisable version of HTC's keyboard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416 (thanks cjward23)
Personally I'd recommend Better Keyboard 8; supports a lot of skins, so you can match it with your theme as well. Not to mention you can change the size of the keys, type of keyboard, sounds etc:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.betterandroid.betterkeyboard8
GALLERY:
Alot of people aren't happy with the stock gallery (gallery 3D) in CM7 roms. Personally I think its great; fast, smooth, convenient everything.
However, if it doesn't work for you, you could try Quickpic. The entire idea behind it is that its supposed to be really fast, and it definitely is. It takes a bit to load the thumbnails the first time you launch it, but its amazingly fast, if not a bit too minimalistic:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder
DIALER: Alot of people like Go dialer, and I've got to agree with them. It has a lot of functions such as t9 dialer (dont know how you can do without it), support for themes etc.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jbapps.contact
SMS Awaiting more suggestions
Music Player: Fortunately, there are several options out there that easily beat HTC's music player (which is pretty basic).
First, theres Poweramp. Personally, its my favourite. It has a lot of options that allow you to tweak sound quality, everything from equaliser to SRS and DOLBY, it supports album art download, transparent widgets, skins, fade in/out of songs etc. One of the best :
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
You can also try Playerpro: Everything feels as if it was very well thought, supports skins, widgets etc:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro
PROBLEM WITH ADOBE FLASH 10.2:
i.e. video plays but screen is blank, sound works. If you have this problem (NOT limited to cyanogenmod) then heres a fix thats worked for me, everytime: Uninstall previous flash versions, and kill browsers (task manager, reboot). Then download and simply install thanks geko95gek
http://www.multiupload.com/374XQZ7WG0
If you have a problem with flash, then Flash 10.3 might work for you, but it didn't for me.
If any problem with links, please do report
If you found anything helpful in this thread, kindly THANK me
Works like a charm for those who are having issues with latest versions of Flash player.
Before installation remember to kill your browsers and uninstall previous Flash versions.
Alternative browsers I can recommend:
Skyfire, Dolphin HD, Dolphin Mini.
Go sms and go dialer are good replacements for stock phone and mesaaging app. And quick pic is good gallery replacement not as flashy as the sense one but much quicker than the stock app. And +1 for dolphin as web replacement web browser.
And you can get the htc keyboard from this thread, just install like anyothe key board app from the market http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416

whats the difference between dolphin HD and mini?
and also, would this trick make flash work on Sense roms? Since flash is pre installed in them, would there be a way to uninstall previous version?

Dophin mini is a very light browser, by default when a web page loads it doesnt load flash content. You have to touch the content to make it load, which makes it very fast compared to the HD version of it.
As for flash on Sense, the only way you can remove it as far as I am aware is to have the phone fully rooted first. Then you can uninstall via Titanium Backup, to replace it though with another version you will have to push the apk via adb.

Definitely agree.. i DO have to admit that sense makes everything work together very nicely, but it slows down my phone too much to justify that.. despite that i AM a fan.. i was wondering.. there are several dialers out there.. but is there a way to replace the actual call screen?
like this.. this is the Sense 'call screen' or whatever you want to call it.. the stock android one isn't very user friendly.. any way to change it?

Have also tried PowerAMP too, but personally, the layout is a little confusing for me, prefer the interface and the album art system based on the PlayerPro, but to be honest, both very similar and both very good players, just depends on the user. the PowerAMP skins are all too similar? but like I said before, both same, both have DSP adjustments and relatively beautiful interface =)

I was fighting tons of bad video rendering and have discovered that so called "HQ Youtube" app for EVO works just fine for Droid. Tried it on my NC, works like a charm (preA2.2, pre Flash 10.1, of course). I can watch HD YouTube trailers just fine, smooth, and fluid now. This is the power of hardware overlay switched ON. I'm sure, a simple hack of Flash Player 10.1 spoofing an Android 2.2 response for it will work just fine too.
Looking for the best streaming TV (IP TV) player as all these yxPlayers are pure junk, both free and paid versions.
See snaps and links in my blog http://fineoils.blogspot.com
I too am using the Evo HQ Youtube apk. I know there was a work around to fix Youtube from failing but I uninstalled it so had to search for an apk and found the one for 2.1 evo. Works like a charm.
I didn't read all of your blog, kinda skimmed it over, but I'm using "Button Savior" instead of "Soft Keys", It works much better.
And goto landscape mode when setting your wallpapers.

There's no such requirement to read my whole blog if one chooses to use just one trick (and not to use DD-WRT router with NC, lol).
Yeah, the development goes fast and in all those diverse direction, so it took me awhile: it's easy to overlook some achievements for HTC EVO when one looks closely in Droid Forums, heh. But I have found it eventually. I guess the Auto-Nooter script should be upgraded (plus Button Savior, minus SoftKeys.)
I used to go nuts (and not "landscape") when choosing my wallpaper: there's way too many resource hogs in NC at this stage. All B&N stuff must go (maybe LendMe, and whatever in-shop app could be added -- later). Didn't do much on this path yet -- before a stable recovery. So I ended up with simplest, unmoving snap of my painting, plus MIUI's clock+weather.
Where do you guys find these older random apk files?
"Googel ist dein Freund!"
Seriously, if you look up for a better YouTube.apk, there's a lot of life outside Google Market.
But if you look for "increase volume for Droid X" you will find nothing yet.

Does that one handle the HD trailers just as well as the older Evo "HQ" version? If so, I may just have to uninstall yet again! lol...
[EDIT: That "ported gingerbread version" appears to be the same as the one installed as default by autonooter v.25, and the videos do not appear to work in HD... am I missing something?]

Would you mind uploading that apk here? I don't have an account on that Android forum
OK, I installed the older EVO "HQ version", and it worked the first time I ran it. But now, it seems that my nook keeps reverting back to the (albeit newer) version included with autonooter (Youtube v2.0.26, or something). This appears to be the same "ginerbread ported" version that Darkman mentioned and linked to, but nothing I do now will allow me to revert back to the "HQ version" that aludal pointed us to...
Why does mine keep reverting back to the newer version every time I reboot, even after I "wipe data" and "uninstall" it with Titanium? Any ideas?

ok, this is frustrating... no matter what I do, the system keeps reverting back to the newer autonooted version of Youtube after a reboot!
The HQ version worked once, but when I rebooted, it somehow went back to the nooted version.
I'm using titanium to wipe and uninstall youtube, then using adb to sideload the HQ version... anyone have any idea what step I'm missing?
I uninstalled the nooter version from the home screen shortcut I made by long pressing. Installed the HQ version through "Appsinstaller" in the market. I put the APK in the Root Directory of the SD card when doing so. Been 2 days and no issues.

I tried to uninstall that way, but it says "Uninstall not successful"
I'm really stumped... I had it working, but now the autonooter version comes back every single time I reboot the device. The strange thing is that I can't find a Youtube.apk anywhere using Root Explorer. It's not in the /system/app directory, so I have no idea where the system keeps finding it after I uninstall it again and again with Titanium...
By chance do you still have the Nooter SD card still in?

Thanks. I just installed it. I noticed that when I am playing a video and turn it landscape -- when I turn it back portrait, it doesn't rotate back. Anyone else seeing this?
My video qaulity is great. Maybe has to do with unchecked compatibility in spare parts. I had to uncheck it, it works perfect for me. Use root explorer and delete the old apk from system/apps then move the new one to system/apps then install. Worked for me.

Updated my FineOils post
There's no link to HQ YouTube.apk there, as you have it already.
But there are some explanations, and not just that. I'm asking a lot of questions and waiting for your comments here or there. Together, piece by piece, we may make NC a better tablet even at its present A2.1 level. I'm also sure that many "discoveries" of NC inner workings will be useful for the day when ROMs of A2.2...2.3, Cyanogens will be available and stable for NC.
Finally, awaiting few moments for more stable CM71 SelfKang by Ricardo "arcee" Cerqueira, I decided to upgrade my OB with CM7.1 SelfKang 7-2, after read a major known issues were fixed.
Known issues
Wireless Tethering is broken - Fixed in SK7
A2DP (Bluetooth Stereo Audio) is broken - Fixed in SK6
GPS won't lock on any satellites - Fixed in SK3
HD Recording has low framerates

I'm not using my OB to record video (yet), so I ignored the last known issues and flashing it... Here my review with CyanogenMod (only first day using it).
Flashing CM7.1 SK7-2, add google-apps 20110613 Universal. (remove knzo kernel v0.1-beta).
CPU Governor set to InteractiveX.
Installed new app: AdFree, AntTek App Manager, Asphalt 5, BetterBatteryStatus, CPU Master, File Expert, Fruit Slice, LanDroid, Quadrant Standard, ROM Manager, Skype, Smart Keyboard, SMS Backup and Restore, SystemPanel App, UberSocial Twitter, WhatsApp, and XDA Apps.
System is stable for my "major" daily usage: Call, SMS, WhatsApp, UberTwitter, Browser, and JotaTextEditor.
Smooth enough for playing game Asphalt 5 and Fruit Slice.
Camera works perfectly front/back. Not trying the video recording yet.
Highest Quadrant Score: 2344 (with knzo kernel).
+Add gabwerkz tweaks but I had no effect yet, Highest Quadrant Score: 2485 (with stock CM71).
Longest day alive from 100% battery to dead: 1d 5h 38m 5s.
My issues: (with original kernel CM71-SK7-2)
Date and time settings can't set Automatic (network-provided values). With Stock/Nova8 it's normal.
Changing theme with Theme Chooser, from System to Cyanbread, I lost Google Account, and had to set again.
Gallery sometimes look hang on loading for a long time without showing images.
Skype still doesn't work with front/back camera, even with Skype custom build from theos0o. +I think it happen with most Android that not verified to work yet with Skype.
Select "Use only 2G networks" but indicator still shows 3G. I think it still issues for the indicator. Also when I return from "dead-condition", power on, the settings was gone ("Use only 2G networks" not selected) it doesn't happen with Stock/Nova8.
Before connecting Wifi, first it must set to channel 13. (I don't know if this CM issues or my AP, but I never set channel on Stock/Nova ROM).
There are high process with AlarmManager (see screenshots). It raise up to 8.3% (WTH is that?!). Checked with BetterBatteryStats and BatteryHistory.
+Install "Blue Theme for CyanogenMod" and change it via Theme Chooser, makes few application hang, and then ADW Launcher hang. Reboot, and got bootloop.
Issues with knzo kernel:
Long booting time, delayed almost 1+ minutes.
Front Camera problem: reversed up-down. Back Camera normal. Taking picture normal.
Trying the known issues: Change mode to video, it crash, Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding, force-closed. When open it again, Camera error: cannot connect to camera. So I can't use camera, rebooting device to solved the case. Here's the log. But it does work with original kernel of CM71.
Vibration doesn't work. But it works with original kernel CM7.

Question:
What is Alarm Manager (Android System)? As far as I know, that caused battery drain.
I only have Quadrant Score max 2344 a few times test, how can others have up to 3000+?
Okay for now, another information will posted later.
This is my personal review, so how about yours?
Perhaps you can also share your review here...
Thanks.
Great review, Redy. (I think most people are posting their stuff in Rootzwiki. Personally I'm posting there about CM7.)
I'd like to ask you something. I've asked around five times already, in different posts in both forums, and even sent personal messages, if people are having issues with the built-in FM radio receiver, but so far I've got zero replies.
I can't receive FM radio (non-streaming, but real radio). Can you do me a favour? Would you be so kind as to tell me if you can tune and hear to FM radio? (I've installed Spirit FM Radio applett for this purpose.)
Thanks in advance.
[EDIT] Oh, another one thing: don't you get an incredibly long boot delay with knzo's v1-beta kernel? I uninstalled it because of that.
That front camera is a Knzo kernel issue. I hope the review, showing it to the developer would be a stock one. As some issues may arise with a modified kernel that can confuse, ie: Video FC, FFC, Date and Time, etc. that even if you can take a log, Dev can't use it cause you have a different kernel.
So it should be CM7.1 SK7 with Knzo Kernel.

I'm using go launcher ex, with transparent app drawer enabled, scrolling is smooth, not perfect but smoother than CM7 default.

I tried the app, and it seems doesn't have audio out. Sometimes the program said like "Sorry, FM chip not found". But after close and open again, it doesn't show error like that.
And yes the "long boot delay" does happen with knzo's kernel. Updated that issues at first post.

I want to add, choppy scrolling in settings menu with custom theme enabled, for example meizu transparent. It has semi transparent black background in some menu, everytime that semi transparent menu loads; choppy.
I'm using go launcher ex, with transparent app drawer enabled, scrolling is smooth, not perfect but smoother than CM7 default.
I installed the same cm7 theme on nexus s, no prob.. very smooth.

Great review Redy! This was the turning point for me. Just finished flashing and setting up and I am really happy with how this works

I tried the app, and it seems doesn't have audio out. Sometimes the program said like "Sorry, FM chip not found". But after close and open again, it doesn't show error like that.
And yes the "long boot delay" does happen with knzo's kernel. Updated that issues at first post.

Thanks a lot, mate!! You're the only one who has replied to me about the fm subject. Looks like there's a confederacy for muting that issue! Very glad to hear you've updated it in the original post.

You're welcome. I have catch the log, but didn't upload it yet. I might think that if the stock FM radio can be installed, but just by copy it and set permission doesn't work. And also saying yes about separate 2 issues related with my experience using stock CM kernel, and knzo's kernel. Perhaps others can share about their experience...

it's like this
I've updated my zip to revert to CM7.1 SK7.
Now it takes care of all files permissions and restores libsqlite too.

Hi I want to add another thing. When I apply another theme with theme chooser, it stays "ghosts" of previous image (example : battery shows number 100 and then it goes to 99, you will have 99 in front of a 100 less blank but here). With SelfKANG4 it doesn't happen. But I'm not sure my explanation is good. If I can I'll upload screenshot.

So, now MIUI PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a trick to connect the phone with CM to LG PC Suite? Mine does not recognise the device and I would really like to restore all my contacts and stuff.
Also, did you notice any increase in the battery drain time? Mine (with stock CM kernel, not knzo`s) seems to eat up the battery much faster than before.
isn't it enough that we already had 3 forums to discuss CM7 (2 here and 1 on rootzwiki), did we really need a 4th?
Wifi will never work on this ROM, because hero and buzz have different wifi chipset. If anyone can get a ICS rom with the BCM Wifi chipset ported I can get wifi to work.
I have not got a full fix for the synaptics softkeys yet, flash the softkey mod if you have a synaptics screen or your softkeys do not work.
SuperUser is included, but it fc's, you need to flash the 3.0.7 efgh zip file from http://androidsu.com/superuser
v4 Download Link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13729847/ICS2.zip
Wifi will not work on this ROM
[v4]Partially fixed synaptics touchscreen driver, only softkeys do not work with this ROM and that screen. You need to use the softkeys mod posted below if you want fully functioning softkeys.
[v4]Added IDC file for synaptics touchscreen, should work, if not, I have another one.
[v4]Added superuser binary and app - force closes so you need to download the zip and flash it at the link on the top of this page.
[v3]Switched to full package update, if you are coming from another rom, wipe data, if you are upgrading this rom, just flash.
[v3]Added SuperUser App due to request, seems to be not working, still need to flash the above file.
[v2]Data/3G works, calling does too, and so does texting, not sure about mic so can somebody test from the other end of the call?
[v2]Fixed build.prop with CM7 and original merge so now it picks up your network.
[v2]Swapped existing libhtc_ril.so with the one for the wildfire
[v1]Got touchscreen working and softkeys, but home softkey does not work, not so important though, back, menu and search work.
[v1]Using InfinityPLAY+ kernel with atmel.c hack to enable touchscreen, sources on my github. It says #14 for version number but it is only #10 with tweaks compiled an extra 4 times for testing.
What works:
Touchscreen, this thread helped alot with it, just had to swap and switch a bit with the code because of differences between the MSM8X60 and the MSM722X boards.
What does not work:
Bluetooth, WiFi, some other stuff.
This is just a ROM to play with, arco will bring us the real ICS.
THERE IS NO BOOT.IMG, I USE A ZIMAGE INSTEAD!
PERFORM A NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING, THIS ROM IS EXPERIMENTAL!
I will not be held responsible for ANYTHING, thats right, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for any damage done to your device.
Wipe data first, otherwise it will fc on com.android.phone.

Thanks, I even said thanks
Anyway, if I don't post much on this topic that is because I am getting a new phone soon (Xperia Play) and so I don't have credit on my phone (to use data to visit the forum) and so when I am on the computer (after school - yes I am only 15) I will then post updates and stuff.
I will try to visit when possible

Tried it, runs well! Impressive! will try functions now ^^
not working :
Camera
Wi-Fi (same chip than 3G, so probably same driver)
3G (CDMA)
BT (idem as Wi-Fi)
Media files not seen (SD card seenn, storage seen, but no medias on music app or gallery)
No sound
can you add root permission?
JuFlashed, runs succesfully with a MTD. Runs great with no proper ARMv6 intergration and such. Software GL possibly needs work as gallery doesnt load images (guessing thats related). Camera force closes to me, googles worked on hiding the developer side to android with much nicer messages "Camera has sadly closed unexpecetly" compared to "Camera has force closed". Will be waiting for a update to your rom or arcos. You forgot to include market too. Havent attempted to flash gapps yet!
Basically, Its great. Just needs a few fixes for Wi-Fi and Data. Then I'll be using this as a daily driver. You dont need to resize anything. Just possibly some font smoothing here and there.
Off-Topic: If you're buying a xperia play on three. Check out some of their data and text offers! (15 Pounds a month. 3000 Texts. 300 Minuites. Unlimited Internet.) Its what I use with my Wildfire and does exactly what it does on the tin! Plus I get decent speeds for the bad 3G coverage

Next thing to do is include superuser and NoFrills CPU Control.
Also, I think data might be related to a wierd build.prop, because the phone refuses to come out of aeroplane mode.

And when you try to search some network to connect, it say no CDMA antenna
ICS
Agreed with the others, runs pretty smooth, just I noticed the keyboard is too big and is cut off so you can't really type properly, and there's a weird orange border that pops up every now and again when I do certain setting tasks...I noticed this using the ARMv7 build on the emulator so I don't think that's device specific. Plus loading the gallery, at first the images show but if you open one it goes black or a coloured square...pinch to zoom works though!
The home key doesn't work as it should but it does do something: when you press it it acts as if you've moved the trackball and highlights the first on-screen object.
Also due to the radio issue it shows CDMA mobile settings despite the fact I've got a GSM version...and setting a different timezone (GMT+2) doesnt work.
Otherwise great stuff!
Lookig forward to updates!
Bugs:
No wifi bt and gps.
Home button dont work.
No signal for calling.
No volume (for music)
Camera force close.
No fm radio. (But that is personol if you add it it will be used everday )
But it runs very good

I've noticed this on some dev builds of android as well as Android-x86. It could be related to the touchscreen driver, or a general graphic bug. I think it could be disabled somehow though.
right now I'm downloading update 4.3 and I thought about making this thread to collect the openions of users and let the others know if it is worth downloading. so tell us what you think about your experience ?

I had issues with NFC & Wi-fi Direct both of them are working well now and the battery and overall performance just got better
Sent from my HTC Butterfly s using xda app-developers app
yeah I really think that it does provide an improved battery efficiency but I don't know about the performance aspect .
Does wp_mod (/system write protection mod) work on stock 4.3?
Has anyone tried it yet?
From what I've noticed, yes, it does improve performance and battery life significantly. Other bonus features I appreciate are support for lockscreen widgets and ability to customize quick settings.
I did experience a couple of unpleasant things after the update, though.
I use the last.fm app and the stock music player. After the upgrade, each time I switched to a home screen containing a music player widget, I got a message about the last.fm app crashing. This appears to have been solved by a reboot, it does not happen right now.
After 20 days of uptime, something appears to have started on the phone which both made the lockscreen extremely laggy and it also drained power like mad. Even charging from a USB port took about twice as long as it usually does. Again, a reboot seems to have fixed this, but I'm curious how it will perform after a month of uptime – I'll report back here unless I forget.

I get those errors too man. I too used last.fm for scrobbling, but it always crashes (force closes) the moment a song starts, which is kinda sad And yeah I experience the second problem too not frequently though. Also sometimes after my phone is charged to 100% it drains immediately to 92-93% the moment I plug it out. Have to keep it 20 minutes or a little bit more to prevent this happening

I found out that the last.fm app doesn't have access to the com.htc.music/MediaPlaybackService intent – looks like the update restricted access to that interface or something. Maybe reinstalling the last.fm app would help, maybe last.fm needs to update it.
Also, looks like the issue affects other HTC phones with 4.3/5.5: http://www.last.fm/group/Last.fm+Android/forum/114391/_/2218309
By the way, I only use the last.fm app to see peoples' details in my contacts. For scrobbling, I've been using the simple last.fm scrobbler app since about forever, because I find it much more reliable at scrobbling than the official last.fm app. Also, it supports more players.

Yeah, the battery indicator seems to jump to 100% immediately after reaching 90%. Leaving it plugged in for a bit longer seems to work for me too. AFAIK, this is a common issue with a lot of Android kernels across various devices…

Well, stock Android has the com.android.music app for music playback; HTC Sense has its own player, com.htc.music. AFAIK, they come with compatible interfaces, the last.fm app just doesn't get access to the Sense player while it does get access to the stock one.

Where is this setting?
update nvm i found it
Also how is USB connection? Mine is such a mess after the update partly cuz I'm using Windows XP =/
For the most part only thing i dislike about 4.3 w sense 5.5 is the keyboard auto correct, if u type something in English letters but phonetically for anotger language or even say if you type something wrong and you hit space it will replace it with what it thinks you meant, if you hit backspace nothing happens where as before with all previous htc keyboards if you type something wrong and auto correct fixes it n you hit backspace it reverts back to what you originally typed and hitting space from there will save it to your dictionary and i loved that but now its gone. I tried putting back the keyboard apk from 4.2.2 and setting permission but no luck.

Hmm, actually, the behavior you described didn't work for me even on 4.2.2, i.e. even before the update, hitting backspace after an autocorrect didn't undo its effects for me. I do remember though, that I really liked this feature on 2.x versions of Android with the then-current versions of Sense and I'm missing it as well…
By the way, speaking of the keyboard, does anyone else experience an issue where certain words that are obviously retained as part of my personal dictionary (like certain Slovak words without accents) that don't show up in the list of words when I choose to edit the dictionary? Case in point: some time ago I used to write SMS messages in Slovak without diacritics and a lot of words got into my dict that way. I've switched to diacritics-enabled messages since, because why not and because a lot of words with diacritics are already part of the built-in dictionary. However, I can't completely remove all the words without accents from my personal dictionary because they just don't appear in the list.

As you can see half of the screen shows that it's black. I think the keyboard has something to do with it. Also, the keyboard feels more unresponsive now.

MIUI General FAQ
Q: How do I root this?

Idk, I'm not that guy but there is prob. not too huge of a difference since they both seem to be AOSP base.
I don't know why his is as heavy as mine, the KB+ Translation files account for most of this files size and outside of that it's pretty clean (no weird code or custom APKs)
After Flash Report
Okay flashed this morning, because i fell asleep while formatting my data in recovery last night (huge fail) lol.
Haven't seen much reports on this rom, so i decided to flash & do it myself.
But anyway, so far on first flash, no problems what so ever, booted up normally & quickly, no force closures besides one (as far as i know), nothing major tho, just when you enable the 'smiley' button on the Xperia keyboard, the keyboard force closes, no biggie at all, us android users can easily switch key boards .
Another few UI issues i ran into (again nothing major), i guess a little glitch, the weather icon & calender icons are invisible, not 100%, you can see the shadows, but the icon design itself is missing, also the invisible lockscreen which was already mentioned, these icon & lockscreen issues are easily fixed by applying a theme, another thing, when setting a wallpaper, the alignment was way off, was easily fixed with a reboot tho, not sure if applying a theme also fixed it, but it works regardless with no effort.
Mms works, but i had to do a simple APN edit, honestly haven't checked if the APN settings that came with the ROM works, haven't tested it because i usually use this one specific edit for any MIUI Rom i flash.
Besides that, the Rom has been working flawless for me atleast, also not sure about battery life, when i woke up, my phone was dead due to falling asleep in recovery at 4%, so i will report back on that & any other issues if i run into.
To the dev, great job on the Rom, MIUI can be a pain to most when porting .
To the users, all issues I've reported so far shouldn't discourage you from flashing the Rom, pretty much one time issues, so no doubt flash away
Could you please post your apn edit for us?
Q: Why is G-Apps not listed for Download?
A: Too Bloaty, add a Google account and install the play store as an APK, I suggest using Aptoide to find it.
Google Account isn't listed as an option to add.

Miui usually comes with its own core apks I believe, no need to flash gapps & for the APN edits, go to your APN settings, you should see 4 APN saved, edit any one of the last 2, for the name, put Sprint, for the APN edit under name, I use cinet.spcs then go down to MMSC, click on it and don't erase anything, just add "/servlets/mms" (no quotes) , save it, click on it, reboot & lemme know if it works, honestly, I think it was a trial so keep trying, also mess with the *#*# 4636#*#* menu & see if you get lucky
Well done on this. Hope your builds continue as the other MIUI roms will not work on the latest version of Philz recovery

I think the MIUI base is pretty much to outdated for Philz, i mean come one, its 4.2.2 , CWM & TWRP flashes it flawlessly tho, so no big deal
The S4 Sprint is the quiet crowd; over here it's not too noisy.
I am updating this in a few hours with substantially huge updates. MIUI software camera is functional now so people who like this kind of thing will enjoy it
awesome job on this, runs smooth, all apps seems to be working, haven't had any force closes and GPS is working. i would say nice daily driver if you like MIUI alot.

A lot of those core apks do not work correctly while some do. its hit or miss. Or let me rephrase and say dont work as intended. Like the market that comes with miui is no where close to be like the play store and its in chinese.

However it would be nice if a kernal came around like on the s3.

I'd say the only real difference is that he used PatchROM where I just use the same Frameworks from my Razr XT926 and then fork it across every device I build for.. Interestingly in this case his release is more of an 'original work' even though mine is more functional but I'll get to that later.
The thing is that I don't really give a fk about being all original, I do care about results. If I continued to use XT926 components from my project here that would be the case but I seen the S4 mini had a working MIUI camera so I just took it along with the CameraParameters and forked it to this to see if it would really run, it did.
I'm not swinging my peen around by releasing over someone else; this port took 5 minutes real-time because my workspace is a little different than a Linux workspace; I fork to multiple devices for greater feedback so I'm really just testing here not trying to steal someone elses usersbase; I'm just playing around and having fun
