I’ll keep this brief.
I would like to know how many users are/would use MIUI_Au for the One X.
There were many users who used our Desire releases, and I haven’t seen much interest. I understand that the One X is still shiny and new, and that many users probably haven’t rooted their devices yet. I have found myself floating around MIUI and Sense. Sense 4 is so very complete. It’s calendar is amazing (you’ll hear me go on about Sense 4 all the time).
The truth is, I’ve been using MIUI since September 2010, almost two years ago now. I’ve watched it change many times. I like the changes a lot.
Sadly, I don’t have as much time as I used to, and things which I used to do for fun are becoming somewhat of chores. As I am not currently using MIUI, it is quite an effort to do a NANDROID, Proper-Englishify, Modify, Debug and Package a ROM now, which is why it takes me so long to do it. I’ve been releasing one every two weeks for that reason. I am not as savvy as many other distributions (the other MIUI Groups) and do not have scripts to build a release. I have to do everything by hand, and because of this I make mistakes (and because of that it becomes much more of a pain in the rear than fun fun fun).
The above are reasons why I cannot keep doing it for my own benefit (I am not using MIUI at present).
What I want is to gauge interest.
P.S. I’m putting the finishing touches on this week’s release, so check back tomorrow morning (Au time) for a link.
I’m in, I just got my One X and am hoping the Miui-Au legacy will continue.
There will be one this week (later today when I get back from work), at least.
For the One XL maybe…
Almost certainly not – I don’t (and probably won’t) own one.
I’m using it and love it. Hope you can keep it up!
i changed my desire to sgs3, need miui for this one
It’ll come officially, but not here unfortunately.
I will definitely use or at least try it in the future. As you said, the One X is still quite new and I haven’t rooted mine yet. I will wait some more, perhaps when the first jelly bean roms are released. As I have read many good things about stock android, I guess I will try those roms first (cm9 and/or aokp). I am not that a big fan of sense, so I will try miui for sure, just can’t say when.
Well I might hold off on MIUI for the HOX until interest picks up.
I’m using dekkyy’s rom on xda and I must say its quite smooth. There a certain things i miss from the desire that lennox and yourself added. I will defiantly try your HOX miui rom but so far i have no complaints about dekkyy’s.
Cheers for all the effort up until now though. Both you and lennox made my desire 100 times better.
Some parts of his changelog are misleading (such as the part that says he has rebased MIUI using the 2.05 from HTC).
MIUI is quite smooth in general (especially with recent updates).
However he does keep up with releases each week (and some weeks more than one), so that’s a good thing; something I don’t have the time for at the moment.
I’ve sent him a PM asking if he would like to use MIUI_Au’s English (I wish every distribution used it), but haven’t received a response. Probably wont. Bit of a shame really – his commitment with MIUI_Au’s experience and history would go well together I think.
That’s funny, he always responded to me when i helped him whenevrr he pmd me about problems with some of his other builds.
Either hes busy Atm, or I’m just too nice :p
I sent him the message about a week ago. Maybe you should have a word to him
.
I can try, but i have a feeling he only responded because he needed my help perhaps.
Yeah – I was kidding.
I just noticed that he says his release is based on MIUI-Android’s. So what exactly does he do? A couple of changes here and there?
And on that train of thought, what does MIUI-Android do to theirs? They just use the English which comes as part of MIUI I believe. Put it through their de-recompiling system which adds a few build.prop entries.
I’m going to make an XDA thread showcasing just how different MIUI_Au is.
Meanwhile I’ll have to learn how to edit smali without making a big mess.
