Since we do have some progress on CM7 for our device, why don't we start the development on MIUI as well?
Just to give you an idea of what MIUI is:
http://en.miui.com/
Developers are welcome! I am really new in porting builds in kitchens, but I am ready to get my hands dirty on this one
I have knowledge on working in linux environments, compiling kernel/modules, scripting, but lack of android kitchen knowledge, any pointers where to start will be great!
With jerpela/blagus and other developer's permission, perhaps if I have any questions and or needed files/drivers/etc for building MIUI up, I can ask?
I'll start a git hub or cvs for this project as well - let me know if you wanna get involved too!
this might be a good place to start...
[TUTORIAL] porting miui nexus rom to x10
BTW... Arc is using MSM8255 chip... so u can look at all compatible devices... like HTC Desire HD, HTC Desire Z, others....
u will mostly have to uses/mix files from SE stock libs + other places...
just one request... whenever u use files from someone else kindly give them credit for it, cause they have worked hard to make those fles working... a link to their ROM/patch/etc would be also be a good idea...
best of luck!
Well that's a good news.
Start over with your project. We can give help @ some problems, but not at all now
BTW: I cannot understand why you like MIUI, but that's quite personal I hate Iphone noobish layout.

Bin4ry: one of the few reasons is that it has a fully customizable theming engine in the back where u can just customize quite a lot of things like status bar, fonts, icons, etc, instead of using a third party launcher. Anyway like you said, it's a personal taste thing
Thanks everyone for the heads up, will spend the long weekend to work on this!

BTW, I'm not a dev and don't understand about porting FW right now. but I'm really interested about this android world and custom FW. Maybe I'll start with reading thread you provided
i would like it lean please
god news for us as development for arc is very limited and slow

CM7 theme management is great, mind you, but again it's personal taste I guess. Been living on CM7 since G2 Hero, HD Mini, X10, HD2, Desire Z, SGS, got tired I guess I like the fact that MIUI allows customization based on components instead of a full theme overhaul, and notifications are top-to-bottom toast popups, built in ftp, fonts, etc. Perhaps these can all be replaced by updating framework-res, or installing customized fonts, etc. But ease of use is also my concern...
Aaaaanyway before i go full throttle and brag on about its good vs bad, I shall stop and thank DooMLoRD for the X10 guide!

Miui its not about themes, its a full android custom rom. Own file manager, music , camera, gallery, and mucho more.
I don like iphone style too but you can custumize miui like hell

you have to use precompiled miui because there is no source released and this is like porting any other rom from any device,you can do the same with htc sense
in our opinion this mixing of libs should not be done,take an source and build your own rom then theme it as you like
mixing libs is not desired, even if filename is the same there are many things to be considered!
Main thing for miui
Ramdisk
.sh etc files
Libgsl
Hw and hw config files
I don't know arc files so may need other core files not in miui rom
Then you make sure media and system server work correct and should at least boot
Then backsmali service jar and configure power and native daemon are correct

i seriously cannot wait for this! Really hope Muiu comes for the Arc! I think its more needed than wanted. SE's android interface is aweful!

Thought it was just me, just bought the arc because I was impatient waiting for GB on the X10.. trips miui cam works well but i hate the layout.
The Arc has GB, a great cam & an unlocked BL.. so bring on the AOSP 2.3.4 & CM7 roms..
i'm just curious about the lockscreen rdannar demonstrated in x10 miui rom, the rest i distaste a bit ^^
would be much more excited to see this lockscreen in other roms.
still - keep going & develop this rom, if not use this one, one might take parts of the work for use it elsewhere. dont think effort will be lost here
I can't wait for this, i'd love to see Miui running on my Arc.
i would love this aswell, if there is anything i can help or try please let me know!
very noob question : do we need custom kernel to make miui rom works on arc? case like in CM7, stock kernel can't work with CM.

Hi guys, i want to shared again other link for who wants to customize its phone... you need to have unlock bootloader, this is the link (app not mine) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236937&highlight=s4
This launcher is awesome, still in version 1.0 but u can have the lastest Touchwiz UI from Samsung, now i am not using because i'm a flashaholic and remove everything in system every flash i do. lol:silly:
You can try it and write your experience to more people can read it.
Regards
Sorry my bad english...
Tw to me is boring. But thanks for sharing.
I hope some makes a Sense 5 launcher port complete with blink feed.

Does anyone have any good resources on where to look for information on tweaks and themes for the Google Edition ROMs for the HTC One?
As far as I understand it the Xposed mods will work if you use the ones labeled for the Nexus devices. Are there any downsides to using Xposed?
And for themes I guess AOSP themes would work? Not even sure where to find those. How easy is it to update themes and how often do they break (i.e. every time you flash to update your ROM version)?
Thanks!

Have a look through the Themes and Apps section
Thanks, but it seems most of these are for Sense ROMs. Do you know if there is a resource for AOSP themes, and if so, do they work on the GE?
atm i didn't see nothing.
You can check, but i think you will found anything...
Hi,
I see a Rom by ios7 style in Xperia L forum
It was interesting and beautiful
Can any developer create ios 7 by base CM 251 and android 4.4.2 for XSP?
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk
This ROM is not ios 7. It only has ios skinned apps. There's no purpose in making a ROM with these elements as you can install them on any ROM.
If you want ios7 skinned cm look for an ios7 theme for cm on play store. There's probably something there.
If you want ios7 apps, search for inoty and/or ilauncher on Google. You should find a website where there are many ios7 apps for android.

A simple port won't work with that IOS7 ROM as it is based on the xperia l's stock android 4.2.2 ROM and since we are still stuck with ****ty android 4.1.2 you won't be able to port it
lol, how dare you suggest such a dirty crime!

Well a CM based port can work to.
If the OP can find a ROM with an CM base like CM10.2/11 (like we have here at the moment) it can be possible, dont say it is easy but hey.. It is XDA-Developers..
Hi,
Is it possible to replace the SystemUI only without flashing a custom rom?
I want to have the original Android UI like on Cyanogenmod but Cyanogenmod does not exist (and even never will be).
If it's possible, how?

Not really. Depending on what you're wanting to change, a launcher may do what your wanting. What are you wanting to change?
You could try Good Lock apk and replace Touch wiz Launcher for Nova or Google Now launcher for a stock feel
