Who here uses MIUI? - Nook Color General

I just installed MIUI on my Nook Color. So far, my feelings are mixed. One thing I don't like is that graphically, it's scaled up, meaning that all the apps are laid out exactly like they are on an Android phone (hopefully this makes even a remote amount of sense). On CM7, the apps adapt to the higher resolution, instead of scaling themselves up to be laid out exactly like on a phone.
Also, there's no built-in soft keys like on CM7, where the status bar contains the android buttons. I'm using something called zMooth, which is a gesture based replacement for the buttons.
I'm gonna keep MIUI for a little while more, to see how I like it. Some of the UI elements are really slick, and it runs a lot smoother overall than CM7.
Does anyone else have this installed? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

I really like it... after 3 months of use.
There are hidden buttons on the right margin.. tap the small (almost invisible) arrow.. more will appear for navigation. I think it is Button Savior.. not positive.

Yea, its button saviour, however I'm not too fond of it. I like the way zMooth works a lot better.

I have bounced back and forth between CM7 and MIUI. I have decided to stay with MIUI until ICS comes out. Reasons are the same as you mentioned plus the market appears not broken at higher density (running mine at 200) and battery life seems to be better. Also I am fond of the browser. I don't use the stock launcher, I am using Go Launcher which has lots of tweaking options. Also I have remapped the hard keys instead of using Softkeys, zMooth or Button Savior.

I was using MIUI for a few months but ended up going back to CM7; MIUI would not scale some full screen applications properly. YMMV as far as how annoying that is, but it was a deal killer for me.

That's actually my main issue with the ROM. You just did a far better job of explaining it than I did
I like it in some cases, like with hanging with friends. HWF does not adapt itself nicely to the NC's screen resolution on CM7. However, on MIUI, its displayed perfectly. In other cases, like the Amazon appstore, the jumbo icons take up half the screen, and so much text gets cut off.
Hopefully the developer can get MIUI to scale properly on the Nook's screen. Although MIUI's closed source, so I'm not sure how much he can actually do.

Could someone post the link of how to install miui, please? I found some here and there, but couldn't for sure. Please! Thanks in advance

Here's a simple tutorial on installing MIUI:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-miui-1-7-8-rom-port-on-nook-color-how-to/
you can get the latest NC Rom from http://miui.us/

Is a guide really necessary? Does a regular install via rom manager not work well?
I'm asking because I'm thinking about trying it, I'm not trying to be troublesome

It's not necessary really, but I just linked to it in case someone isn't totally sure what to do. It pretty much says to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and flash new rom.

I use MIUI and I like it. Simple and easy to use. I just wish they would pronounce it My-U-I instead of Me-U-I but I guess we can't have everything.
I tried CM7 and it drained my battery.

Can Miui be installed in the SD card? I don't want to flash to emmc and this is basically the only reason why I haven't tried any other ROM like Phiremod and MIUI, both of which look really cool.

To each their own. Ran MIUI for about a day then back to CM7. Same reasons as delineated above. Icons just too dang big. At best as responsive as CM7. But it was interesting.

Thanks. I tried searching for it myself but was unsuccessful. Off to try MIUI for the nook now, will report back.

I've run MIUI off and on for the past 6 months on my droid and really like it. However, as others mentioned, the resolution issues for the nook are a deal breaker for me. I loaded it up for about a day and promptly headed back to CM7. It comes with a default dpi of 240, which makes everything look huge on the nook, and causes problems with the display of some apps. Even at this default setting, the stock launcher cannot display widgets properly (off-center) and the icons within the folders do not line up correctly. You can change the dpi to 300 to correct some of this, but the result is cartoonish appearing icons and text so large it hampers the usability of the device. On a positive note, the UI is unique and easy to customize/theme. It ran pretty smoothly on my device as well.

Yes, it can as has been stated above. Just make sure you are using a good card (this goes for any SD card application). Sandisk Class 4 is the way to go as far as I'm concerned.

I'd use it if it had the bottom statusbar with the softkeys on it. That's the dealbreaker for me.
Tapatalkin it from my IHO CM7.1'd, ICS Themed Optimus V

I don't understand what you guys are talking about with the badly scaled icons. Also, screen density is supposed to be 160, not 240 or 300. Set it with lcd density app from the market. I use golauncher ex which allows you to adjust the icon sizes even more. I can't think of one single app that doesn't scale right on miui, if you have one you want me to try, let me know.

Here's a couple more shots of amazon appstore and battery life. It takes too long to fully drain the battery, so I figured 50% at over 3 days is good enough to demonstrate.

Droid 4 ICS 6.16.206 Stock Blur leak

https://www.dropbox.com/s/77hdfrwsszpwdb5/D4ics6.16.206.zip
This is 6.16.206 the leak last week was 6.16.200.
Use at your own risk. Play with fire sometimes you get burned!
The leak last week was 6.16.200 this is 206. I don't know what might be new/updated. The download has the crc file too!
If anyone is interested in trying sugarsync send me a pm with an email. I will send you an invite that will give both of us bonus storage.
Works Flawlessly
I just got his all set back up and was able to restore root via Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. Also, I wanted to mention that I just tried ADB and ADB sees my device and I can SU to the root prompt as well.
I wonder if the inability on the previous leak was a bug that was patched in this leak.
Anyway, thanks for the update! Keep up the great work!
P.S. I'm coming from the stock 219 GB ROM and I did a factory reset before applying this update.
Edit: I just noticed that my phone isn't seeing my SD Card while plugged into the computer. There isn't a charge-only option. No worries though.
Phone Model: Maserati
Android Verison: 4.0.4
Kernel: 3.0.8
Webtop: wt-3.0.0
Build: 6.7.2-180_DR4-16_M2-26
Build Date: Sat May 19 20:31:14 CDT 2012
Webtop 3.0 ICS
So, I've been using the new Webtop 3.0 on my Atrix Lapdock and I musts say that it is very different than the previous Gingerbread Webtop
PROS:
I like the new tablet view you get when you dock your phone.
Phone apps seem integrated a lot better
Webtop is much more responsive
CONS:
Ubuntu seems to have been removed completely. I'm worried about future mods / Webtop development
Desktop Firefox is also gone. However, I have Dolphin browser and that seems to work fine.
All-in-all this version of Webtop seems more responsive and better integrated, so +1 for the average user I suppose but doesn't seem very Dev friendly.
Let me know what you guys think
Yes, this is the drawback of webtop 3+, it is native android. Honestly, it is a much easier way to go, and will promise more google/motorola dev in the future, but sucks for us who were excited at running ubuntu.
I see this as a good step forward. There will be less memory issues now, and yes, we will have to use android apps rather than desktop firefox, but then all is windowed instead of just in the mobile view.
We can also look forward to Canonical's ubuntu phones eventually. With a nice quad core, that'll be what I will be using when it is available! In the mean time, I will have to put to bed my like of ubuntu/webtop2.x in favor of a more workable solution. Who knows, perhaps the vnc viewer will look good on webtop 3.x if you have ubuntu installed...

Does this version of webtop require a external pointing device? All I have is the travel adaptor that enables the webtop I bought it thinking I could use the touch screen as a track pad not the case.... I hope this one does....
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
The phone becomes a touch screen in webtop mode, but you are definitely better off with a BT mouse and keyboard if you really want to use it a lot.
I agree about the removal of Ubuntu, it's far more useful to average users but you could do some very interesting and unique things with the Ubuntu installation that won't be possible with this setup.
Has anyone tried to roll back from ICS to GB? I know I'm asking something that can be a nightmare, but I figured I'd ask and see if anyone tried it yet. Also has anyone done a system dump of the new release yet?
I have not tried the rollback, i just hope I have a roll forward eventually
DarkMidnight, i am also using my atrix lapdock, do you have an issue with your screen resolutoin/aspect ratio? I have everything on my screen as it should be, but I have a black bar on top and bottom like i am watching a widescreen movie on an old TV that was square. I was wondering if this ROM doesnt like the atrix lapdocks, and was thinking about swapping out a few of the dock files from a atrix rom.
I honestly think the resolutin is correct, it is as if the monitor is using the wrong refresh or aspect ratio. Not sure how to tweak it. In the settings i have toggled the hdmi plugin detection on and off a couple times, and I can see that there is a resolution setting, but it is greyed out. thoughts?
all in all, i like having ICS and webtop 3. I was skeptical but took the leap, and i dont regret it, providing I can fix my resolution prob. I love that there is no lag from running two operating systems in one little handheld PC! With webtop 3, it just runs smooth.

Trying to go back to GB will brick your phone. DO NOT DO IT!!!
So we're seeing the same issues as the last version. I guess I'll have to wait till we can roll back as needed. Thanks
What "issues" are those that you are speaking of? I just noticed that overnight I lost root I did the root keeper and actually used root apps last night, but as of earlier today, I do not have it. Anybody have any ideas?

No 4G
Hey Guys I don't know if I am alone on that one. I've updated to 4.0.4 on my D4, still rooted thanks to Voodoo but for some reason I can't get 4G LTE service. My 4g LTE blanks for not even one second then the phone goes to 3G. Anyone experiencing it?!!!
Are anyone else's status bar icons (on the left side) really small and dark like this?

So will I be able to use a GSM SIM from the UK on this while I'm there or do I still have to unlock something?

Yes on the icons being small.
No on the unzip of this file. It is to be installed in stock recovery, thus remains a zip.

You need to unzip it first. When you unzip you'll get 2 files (one .zip and one .crc). Put the .zip file on your sd card and flash through stock recovery.

[ROM]Atrix-Paranoid-HIBRID-TabletUI+Smartphone 1.1 --- 01/06/2012

I share this with you, I found a rom here on xda, Hybrid Rom, code name "Paranoid" is not a rom with all the options that my rom is AOKP, but focused on the tablet.
This rom is a very interesting option, you can "set" any app to have an individual appearance tablet / smartphone, this is phenomenal (I love it!).
Of course, I included my installation aroma, with applications black and some other options (the same as AOKP).
Personal, remembering that my focus is the segment AOKP original, then things can go wrong, I have not tested for a long time, and will not give much support to this, but I'm sure the majority is working perfectly
I can not stop thanking these guys:
Spleef;
T3bill;
ATRIXXIRTA;
D4rKn3sSyS;
Paranoid Team;
hear everything these guys say, are behind all this too, always helping me with what I need!
I am grateful to all of them, are always where you need them ....

That's a SII rom, why posting it here ? If it's not ported, it's not development.
looks very useful, can you add (or port) this feature to your AOKP?
Nice, will test this out!
funny I already ported it for the atrix but haven't made a thread ....lol....now I don't have to thanks, leo, let me know if ya, need anything.....i have it posted in my goo account devs/spleef....it was the surprise test I let out last night

I flashed Spleef's version last night and most things seemd to work great.
I have my sim card in another phone so I cant test cell, and data connectivity, but wifi and UI are good.
I noticed that the rom was never going into deep sleep.
I tried flashed the bluesleepfix.zip that usually seems to help with this, and I kept getting System UI force closes.
Im gonna flash leo's and see if there is any noticeable change, mainly with the ability for the rom to "Deep Sleep"
But awesome work guys!
Make me love my atrix more and more!!

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------
Here are some tips and tricks ive figure out on this rom.
1: Stay away from "Global Density" "Default SystemUI DPI" and "Default SystemUI DPI" settings in "paranoid settings"
Messing with these settings caused some systemUI force closes that caused my notification bar to disappear and the only way to get it back was to do a full wipe and re-install. Now to be fair this only happened to me with Spleef's build, and I have yet to test these settings in Leo's build, but I find them pointless, as I will explain.
2: Any change to the UI you want to make can be made easily through the "list apps" setting. Just navigate to the "settings" apk and make the LAYOUT "Tablet." Set the Dpi to 190, and it fits perfect. Any app the you want to be "tablet" moded can done this way as well.
3: Enable "tablet" LAYOUT for nova launcher. Set the DPI to 220. Navigate to "Nova Settins." Go to Destop/Width Margin and set to none. Same with Height Margin. Now go to "Dock" and change the "Width Margin" to none as well.
Now we are able to use all the space on the screen instead of it all being squished together, and you will get the neat tablet "3d blue cube" effect when changing home screens.
Hope this helps, and anything else I figure out ill post.
Good job guys!

This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone. I know you've seen tablet mode roms before, they change two lines in your build.prop file which you could easily edit yourself in seconds and maybe throw a keyboard in there to make it work better. It's a start, but this ain't enough. This thing has potential, but it is wasted the moment you try to stuff a full blown tablet into your poor phone. Yet we all know our high res phones can very well handle more than silly 1-column layouts. So the magic must be in between somewhere, a place that Google must have overlooked and left blank. Yes, this rom strives to drop your device into tablet mode, but it won't stop there, it will reshape and redefine ICS to make it all a usefull addition and not just a cute novelty. we're calling it: Hybrid Mode, best of both worlds.

Trebuchet extras: 3x4 widgets, speed dial menu button, ... and some weird rocket button which im sure will be very useful to most of you
Pad.prop revamp, new preferences that should pretty much nail it. I'm sorry but this trashes your old settings again, do not attempt to restore them unless you do it in a text editor
Removed soft rendering
Fixed calls
Booted for the Inc
How often will this ROM be updated?
I will stay updated with the CM9 nightlies as well as the Paranoid Android releases. This means that if there is a significant update to the CM9 nightlies I will rebase the ROM so that it is current. If there is also an update to PA then I will incorporate those fixes AND rebase the ROM to the CM9 nightly.
Something went wrong! Can you help me?
I'd love to help you, but I need a little more information about your issue. You should provide us with information regarding what your issue causes and what you did before the issue started. However, before asking me and the community, ask yourself two simple questions:
Can I reproduce the error?
Have I looked for a solution?
If you answered "yes" to both of these questions and came up empty handed, then post it in the thread and it will be addressed.
Can you add *this* to the ROM?
Although we are not obligated to add anything and everything to the ROM, we will do our best to supply your desires and live up to your expectations. Do not mistake this for a guarantee. We would like to do everything, but we may not be able to.
I'm experiencing some force closes, what gives?
Boot into recovery and fix permissions. Then reboot.
I love this ROM, can you do more projects like this?
Yes, I can do more porting projects. If you find any other AOSP ICS ROMs that you want ported, let me know.
My battery life sucks. What gives?
HWA (hardware acceleration) is sucking the battery life out of the ROM.
Where can I go for information about the latest updates?
You can follow me on Twitter
Hell yeah can't wait to check this out!

Yeah. It's a CM9 based ROM that allows you to switch between phone and tablet mode which gives you the opportunity to use tablet apps and view apps as how a tablet would display them. It also gives you the possibility of adding customizable onscreen buttons like the GNex. And a lot more...
Hmm.. sounds interesting.
Might it come with your battery mod?
Using clutch right now because I needed battery.

I put it in there, though HWA might take a toll on the battery life. So far the battery life seems decent.

Glad you like it (though it's the ParanoidAndroid team's work) I'm going to try and fix tablet mode (optimized) in the next update so it shows the status bar at the bottom.
Since I'm waiting to sell this phone, I might as well help a phenomenal Dev out...
Flashing soon. Thanks PureMotive.
can anyone comment on the speed of this rom and what doesn't work? and lag/smoothness? last time i installed a CM9 rom it wasn't ready for prime time. have things changed?
Lol I asked about this in CM9 thread the other day and BAM! Awesome job getting this working for us.

Wow!!!
Trying it out now as we speak and it seems very fast. How long does it stay in tablet mode? I kind of like Tablet mode but would be nice if the lettering and such were normal size but in tablet mode
Maybe this will work Pure? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23275045

The phone stays in tablet mode for as long as you want it to. You can change the font size to your preference. Personally, I like tablet mode (small).

For those of you who are experiencing issues with the phone, boot into recovery and fix permissions. That should work.

Great, looking forward to it.
Also just so everyone knows, this is beyond dpi.. you can manage a super small sleek look while your apps can be set at different dpi sizes.
You won't find this in the market my friends, this is the real deal.
On a side note.. is there a good working kernel? Flashed Invisibleks kernel and its draining fast.
Edit: looks like jelly bean is all the Rage right now, almost every front topic is saying jelly bean.
Curious how well it will work on our phone, I've read it included various tweaks to certain parts of ICS.

[ROM][Android 4.1][P7510]Paranoid Android 2 for Galaxy Tab 10.1

​Hello one and all, this is Paranoid Android for the P7510! If you've seen any of the other PA threads, they're a bit swankier than this. That'll come in time, no worries! This is still very much my first build - both personally and in the case of the ROM. Things might be a bit squiffy, but that's to be expected, I went into this completely dumb and learnt as I went
Still. It works. My tab hasn't exploded. Give it a try, tell me what works and what doesn't. I'm learning PA settings as much as any of you guys will be
What doesn't work:
Everything non-functional in CM10.
Can't find the button to enable MTP. That might be a problem with me and the button being moved?
Download here!
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/23306362/pa_p4wifi-2.00-27AUG2012-2325.zip
Installation instructions:
As normal, make sure to install GApps. Any plain old jb ones will do, which is awesome.
Once booted (a black screen after the boot animation seems usual) you'll need to enable the navigation bar. To get it you have to go to settings>system>navigation bar and then turn the option on in there. If anyone can tell me how to have this enabled by default, that'll be awesome.
I've been strongly considering selling my tab to get the n7, but with cm10 quickly catching up and now Paranoid being here I may have to rethink the move. Thanks for this! Downloading now..

I use it on my phone too. Between the Optimus 2X and the Tab 10.1, it does seem more sensible to be using PA on the big screen. Apps scale up better than they do down, if you see what I mean.
Ok so I flashed it and it works pretty nicely, but I think it doesn't scale very well in some areas or functions as well as cm10, such as with multitasking. Nonetheless, I'm excited to see where this ROM will go.
Sent from my LTEVO
Forgive me for this but what the point of paranoid Android on a tablet? On a phone it's pretty useful since I can enable the tablet side of apps without going full tablet UI, but what about on a tablet? Most horribly scaled apps can already be rescaled using that arrow thing in the combined bar.
Also, I'll try to look into that MTP issue for ya (don't totally rely on me though). I feel like I've forgetten everything so I want to brush up.

Thanks good sir. The best way I can put it is manipulation of the system ui. In that I mean you can have the device running at stock dpi, but get the style of the Nexus 7. People may think I'm crazy for that, but i like the notification shade instead of a button, and the launcher in phone mode is just so much better, especially when done right. Of course it's subjective preference, but it's an option and I find that some aspects are far better than stock tablet ui.
In other news, yes, the multitasking is completely wrong, I'm fiddling around with settings now, but will have to ask more knowledgeable peeps if I can't solve it.
What did you port this ROM from? There's a hitload of problems that have to be worked out.. Plus Android seems to be trolling me, this is what logcat puts out when I enable / disable the navigation bar;
Code:
D/WifiService( 283): setWifiEnabled: true pid=1051, uid=1000
As to how the hell that can even happen, no idea.
Anyway I hear default settings are in SettingsProvider.apk but I didn't see the ones I was looking for. Multitasking isn't exactly broken, it's trying to use the phone UI. If you look at the power menu you'll see it's stupidly oversized because of the the phone Ui. In fact that can all probably be changed or fixed in Paranoid Settings.
On the sad side, launchers are extremely laggy. What gives? I hate lag
EDIT: Super smooth in the tablet mode. Something is up, making the Phablet UI super laggy.
Downloading... i know this is in development but i want to see what to expect seems promising
If I read right, one of the main features of this will be a Nexus 7/phone styled launcher in portrait mode?

Yep, that's right. You have to enable navigation buttons manually though.
EDIT: Ninja'd.
Hi friends...all the project is great,I've not tested it though...
don't think I've lost my mind but for the MTP, I think you must:go to settings-->storage-->the menu button in the upper right corner of the screen-->USB PC connection -->connect as a media device(MTP) may this help...
I have the p7500 but am used to flashing all useful 10.1 ROMs
again I say:I've not lost my mind...

That would be correct, except there's no way to get into the menu. The three dots are missing and there's absolutely no way to press menu.

If one long press the current apps icon in statusbar you will get menu options for the app your in. I have not installed this on my tab only on my S3.
Please try if it works

Forgott one thing, in settings/system/hardware keys theres an option for action overflow wich brings the three dotted menu in apps back. Dont know if it apply to settings.apk but it wurth a try.

Yeah...the WiFi is odd. I grabbed some files from maple syrup to actually make WiFi work. I'll look into it later on.
Anyway, the source should be pretty clean. All of it was from Pershoots github for the tab and PA's for their stuff. The only niggle is that I have the Paranoidpreferences apk from the Gnexus in there. It's closed source and the N7 one doesn't give us phablet mode (because it is one already)
Edit: How odd, the MTP option just suddenly appeared after a reboot. Going to have to figure out why...

Can Apktool be used to bring it in the Nexus 7 apk?
Also, is anyone getting bad lag in the Phablet mode? The launcher lag is crazy' but as soon as I go to tablet mode, its smooth.

What is ChameleonOS?
"Chameleon OS (or ChaOS for short) is a custom Android ROM that gives the user more control than they can experience on any other Android ROM. Starting with a CyanogenMOD base, we customize each piece to give ultimate control while maintaining the simplicity we all love about Android. The most notable feature of ChaOS is the theme engine, which can apply different pieces of themes in a true mix-and-match style. The launcher has been completely overhauled with tons of options that you'd normally need to download a third-party launcher for, such as home screen previews, folder sorting, and folder icon styles. The Messaging app has also had some UI retouches, including messaging bubbles and quick emoji button," (http://www.chameleonos.org).

This is one sweet looking ROM. Cosmetically it has them all beat. Also note the OC kernel has new governors, "adaptive" and "hyper". Boot time is very fast. Overall performance I'll know better later on after I try a few things. Nice work here Apant. Hope you get your "Team Insomnia" banner soon!
Newer Gapps here if anybody wants them:

Question did anyone figure out how to enable messaging bubbles can't find it in the settings. Also every time I go into widgets it let view the first 3 pages then the launcher stops is this just me or can anyone confirm this? I wiped everything before installing twice fixed permissions fixed a lot of fc after wiping and installing the second time.
Is this what you mean by text bubble? Once again I'm not sure why yours force closes, but this project is very early only version 0.6 so I'm sure it will improve and right now my computer is occupied but when I try to build for the my touch 4g I'll get an update. If you want to see what's changing in the sources check here github.com/chameleonos

OK after a normal days use, have to say while I love the ROM's interface it's not near as fast as Baked. A lot of my apps were slow to respond and I got a lot of "... isn't responding" while using them. I tried using different governor's with the CPU, and no other tweaks besides NOS were used. Just like I did with Baked. I don't know if this has anything to do with the kernel, the NOS script, the ROM or all three.
Anyway each person may have a different experience depending on that they use and so forth. Still a nice ROM. BTW another positive I got was battery life seemed slightly better while the screen was on & apps were used. Can't confirm for sure as I didn't compare everything.
As you say, theApant, it's early days for this ROM, and I like it! I was wondering if anybody else has tried swapsd with this ROM. It's not that it doesn't work, or I can't access one of the SD cards. I get a ' system ui has stopped ' error every other reboot, and freezes and one random reboot. All problems disappear when not using swapsd.
It's no big deal, I use NFS most wanted for testing ROMs, which requires using swapsd. I have slim and baked nandroids if I need to game. Just wondering if anyone else had similar issues.

I didn't use SwapSD and got the error with System UI as well. Didn't get any random reboots though.
