MIUI

um, I was just on the XDA mobile app this afternoon, saw that someone had released a miui rom with an english patch for the g2, and linked the main website for stock rom details, so I figured I'd wait till I got home, and now the thread is gone? I can't be that fuked up, I was on the subway, and lost data link

Wasn't working so they closed the thread.

Lol, thanks just wanted to confirm I wasn't losing it. ROFL
Close away!!

I had a feeling that the Rom wasnt gonna work. Everyone who flashed had the same problems I did 2 weeks ago. So far ive gotten a clean install with no errors but not boot. Which means kernel swaps from miui ports won't work. you have to build one.
I am the only one I believe who is actually working on this port. I won't release anything that won't boot, I've made lots of ports with 4 different kernels and they all do the same, which is not booting.
Currently learning to build g2 kernel from source so I can get port goin. If u guys wanna follow me hit me up @brownboyrx.
@gridlock32404 is helping me so if u know him, then u know I'm not joking. I really wanna get miui on g2 for me and everyone, stay tuned.

From what I've seen with Miui, there are several different themes. iPhone theme just happens to be one of them.

There's a lot I like and a lot I don't like about MIUI, but I think MIUI with ADW could be quite nice. I also like dev's that post bootable shiz.

Miui is a ROM built by a group of dedicated Chinese Android developers and was intended to be used in China to show off the Android platform. It was accidently discovered by a user over at the N1 forum some months ago and news of the discovery spreaded like wildfire overnight within the Android community. Since then Miui has been enjoyed and ported to a number of popular Android devices. Miui was ahead of it's time in terms of features, look and funtionality, it was repsonsible for the working of the radio on both the N1 and Desire running stock based vanilla ROM's. It has the best bits of Android and iphone and offers a very unique user experience, on a personal level the UI is intuiative yet beautiful. If you can get past the iphony look then am sure you'll enjoy this ROM if not then using a 3rd party launcher will get rid of most of the iphone look. The ROM is quick and stable and is updated every Friday at 3pm China time.
Check it out on their official website and be sure to use google translate as it's in Chinese;
http://www.miui.com/index.php
English forum;
http://miui-dev.com/

That was a great synopsis above.
The key points of MIUI:
It is Faster
Universal Themes
I still love Cyanogen too. My nexus runs MIUI and G2 Cyan. Good mix.

Yeah that's miui, yes it is very ios like. But the speed enhancements are ridiculous, and that's what I'm looking for.

I started porting today and it boots up. But if I start any app and want to go back to homescreen I get a flickering screen. I have to disable the screen and enable it again. Then it doesn't show the unlock screen, just the statusbar (without clock) and the wallpaper. But if I touch the screen on the unlock position it vibrates. But it doesn't unlock. For unlocking I have to open and close the keyboard. After that the statusbar disapears and doesn't show up anymore until I restart.
http://pastebin.com/cnVFF9WF
Guess the main problem is because of this
Code:
I/WindowManager( 1520): Out of memory for surface! Looking for leaks...
But I don't know what I can do to prevent this.
Kernel is the latest one from CyanogenMod. Many other things work like bluetooth, radio, camera, torch, wlan...
With LPP it works alot better but there are still many bugs like the unlock screen not showing up...

Well thanks very much.

Thoughts on live wallpaper pausing on scroll?

As you already know, LWPs pause on scroll if you use the Sense launcher so I had to use Apex Launcher when showing my phone off to friends
LWPs are probably not a big deal for many people but they're one of the reasons I love Android so it sucks that I can't really use them with Sense 4. Some say it's a bug but I personally think it's the way Sense is designed to work.
If any devs are reading this, could you please shed some light on how hard it is (or if it is possible at all) to fix/mod Rosie so that LWPs don't pause like that? Thanks!

As I've said earlier in an other thread like this:
Gormsen said:
I mailed HTC about this, and after some time they mailed me back saying that the problem was sent to their development in Taiwan for further investigation and to find out if the problem can be solved with an update. I can give you a copy of the mails, but it's in danish

So at least HTC is aware about the problem. I have also read somethere that to pausing/freezing is due to the fact that Sense uses the same resources as the live wallpaper an therefore it freezes when switching between homescreens.

Thank you. That makes Sense. Now I can sleep at night

I'm not sure its totally Sense. The AT&T One X doesn't have that problem. It's weird.

HTC sense 4+ wallpaper losing scrolling effect?

I found that my wallpaper suddenly became unscrollable after back to sense 4+ from apex launcher. I had just upgraded to android 4.1 last two days.

this is absurd i like rosie and i cant even use my LWP

Dang... Someone needs to get a mod for that.. I really liked the scrolling wallpaper effect..
Not only did it look awesome, it allowed us to have a high quality wallpaper and see everything that was on it...

I too just found out that I no longer has scrolling wallpaper. Is it me or is someone from HTC making retarded choices for their updates. If you have a functionality such as wallpaper scrolling, you cannot take it away when you update the firmaware...I did not buy something and have it taken away in the upgrade.
It should not require someone to do a hack to get that function back. I don't have an iPhone because I know what it can and what it cannot do...
HTC, you need to listen to your users.

I agree with you. That really sucks.
I'm hoping there come a rosie mod for it soon.
Thanks a lot fu**ing HTC.

I installed official JB update and for a few days bg scrolling was working normally then out*off nothing it stopped. Any solution?

You could try using Go Launcher, or any of the other launchers on the market, they will give you the scrolling WP. Unless if you're like me and you like Sense, then alas we're stuck with it

Anyone know if there is a mod for this yet for Sense? I haven't seen anything yet and would really love the scrolling WP back.

I think we just need to go back to GB for the scrolling WP...and any other i might add, like bouncing effect...in every update HTC made, it will get simpler and lesser in graphic...just more software but no theme....

I think you mean ICS and I can't believe htc would make such a stupid decision like this. Oh wait, yes I can. This is why custom roms were created.

yap, it sucks.

Just Updated Sense Home. Can't Load anything

I just downloaded the latest update for HTC Sense Home via the Play Store. It brings the new theming engine from the One M9. But when I open it up to change/edit themes, nothing loads. All I keep getting is 'Network error'. All other reviews for the update also say the same thing.
Anyone have a fix?
Thanks

Wait for HTC/google to fix it maybe ?

It is broken for me too. I can no longer customize the color scheme of BlinkFeed under Personalize - Theme. It is stuck in greyish-blue on my phone.

Yeah htc has just ruined something that worked perfectly.
The network error issue is gone and I can now pick themes. Once you get there, you can change BlinkFeed's color.

It's still network error here most of the time, although it attempted to load the themes for a few times, before giving up to network error again.
It looks like the HTC servers are just swamped, and could not meet the demand when so many people are trying out the themes. Hopefully, it will all work better in a couple of days when the hype die down.

If you are referring to updating the HTC weather clock widget to that of M9's Sense 7, see this thread:

Installing the quoted apk does the trick. I tried it on my M8 running stock lollipop.

The weather/clock widget is not directly part of the updated (new) HTC theme. May be it will get updated soon, may be not until the M8 gets full Sense 7. Anyway, I used the linked apk, and updated it myself. It works perfectly fine.

Thanks! Now I am trying to figure out why I have this M9 sitting here...Really underwhelmed with it...

Themes: Will they look different on the 10?

Aside from the stickers which don't interest me, will themes look different on the 10? Or exactly the same as on the m8, m9?
I was particularly interested in the 'switches' in settings, the Quick Tiles, and the contacts/dialer.
I've only seen video of the stickers so far. Not a single reviewer seems to have tried a theme and then moved around the UI.

The UI has changed quite a bit. The strings menu now comes in the known and nearly stock Android look and contact pictures on the list view of the respective App are round instead of squares to name some of them.

Well I was sad to get a reply on reddit from a dude with the phone saying the themes don't change the colors/switches in the settings menu. See here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/4hi77y/just_got_my_htc_10/

Wish themes changed things like status bar icons, I'm not a big fan of Sense Wifi icons lol
Yes petty but im way too used to stock.
Regardless HTC's theme engine as I thought, looks lackluster in comparison to say Touchwiz's, which changes more elements of the UI e.g. menu's, notifcation tray etc

Well @sykopompos said this a while back in the google+ layers community...
"If any of you run across marshmallow OEM roms (not nexus or Android one, these are aosp) or get one for your device (I know the g4 has one out there), post them up.
Make a dump of the system, if you don't know how, just ask (be prepared to use adb)
Since layers works on stock marshmallow natively, it should work on any OEM marshmallow rom (besides cm obviously) and chances are high that the resources might be different and themes could be made/modified to work with these OEM Roms.
We are only interested in marshmallow Roms though since they will have full native support and the changes Google made in marshmallow."

Hopefully somebodys needs to get him a dump!
