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.
Regards

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!

CM7 theme engine is great.
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.

oh boy... if it'll be based on cm10, it will still use a theme, plus some additional apps that you can actually find yourself, dude... and framework, you can do it yourself too if you have tutorial... anyway, i'm sure that someone will do it, if it's not done yet

Hello,
how to build a custom UI into my custom rom?
I don't want to use the standard android ui. I want to develop my own, like samsung does for their devices.
Do you have any resources for something like that?
thank you

Why don't you just use an alternative launcher? Play Store
because i want to develop my own rom with a custom ui.
I prefer u implement some ready apps in the rom u want to create, and btw if u want to create a full ui, u should search for something called " framework development" and take some C and Java courses or try hooking through xposed framework. Thank you

Hi there guys!
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 with lollipop. Instead of touchwiz, iIhave the Google Now Launcher which gives the device a stock lollipop appearance. Now I wanted to know if if could get a stock lollipop look on my whole device like the one on nexus devices. The Google now launcher doesn't change my notification panel or my other apps.
So can anyone tell me how to get the default look on my whole device?

Google Now Launcher is just a launcher. It will only replace TouchWiz's launcher - not the entire UI. To get the looks of stock Lollipop, you'll need to install an AOSP based ROM that is available for your phone or install a theme (or stock firmware based ROM) that looks similar to the theme and UI of stock Lollipop.
I know making a rom is a lot of time. But my old dream is an aosp rom on my XZ, but my phone's bootloader is locked (Allowed: No) . So i cant flash aosp. But i seen a lot of mods what is creating "someting" aosp. (I hope you understand what i mean ) So if we put everything in a pack and port some aosp apps like settings,gallery,phone etc....
Is it possible? If it is someone can create it?
Thanks!
It's not easy as you think. ROM like that need to be themed (to look like AOSP) in framework and many other places. Porting apps is easiest thing. As now, i can only recommend you these mods:
AOSP themed SystemUI (available for XZ 5.1)
CyanogenMOD messaging app and
Google Dialer (i dunno that it'll work with XZ 5.1)
@ActorTheBest
The best we can do is replace some of the Sony apps with Google apps from Play Store and move some of the ported CM12.1 apps to system->app folder. I also changed some of the icons from AOSP. See attachment as I wanted the same thing.
Hope it helps. BTW, I have eXistenZ 3.1.0 installed on my XZ.
Is there specific Roms for the xperia that are also like? Or gpe?
