MIUI Rom port for Eris? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that this MIUI rom has been gaining steam for its nice interface, but is this possible to port to the Eris? I think right now its just running on the higher end devices. Any ideas?

I didnt mean like an actual rom page so either way i could be wrong

Birdman is incorporating it into his rom. Supposedly it will be for the Eris.

Don't see why you'd want this rom by itself. No app drawer?

I dont like this rom. I would prefer it if people would release the original then theme their hearts out or whatever he thinks hes doing

I just really like how this is laid out. Really want it.

Yeah I don't like roms like that either but what he's doing is more complicated than theming.

I'd gladly put a bounty on this, and I know others would too.

No App Drawer really? That's the original Launcher that comes with Droid. Roms add different Launchers...did you just buy your phone yesterday? MIUI.us is the best ROM period, add Zeam launcher and I swear, you'll wanna marry your phone.

This rom looks pretty sweet. I would definitely give it a try.

HTC Sense on Vibrant?

Is it possible?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
No it is not.
There are a lot of things out that there that replicate what it does, but do officially port it over would pose some serious legal issues.
Also, why would you want sense? There is plenty out there that tops it.
And, for future reference, please search a topic before posting a question about it.

I'm looking for it too! I guess since it has to do with a lot of legal actions we wont find it on here but it would be nice to have the desire HD rom on the vibrant since we may not see that phone in the US unless we get the overseas version that doesn't even work with our 3g or hspa
What Legal Issues? I didn't know about that.
And What Are Other Thing's That Top HTC Sense? Because TW isn't one of them.

Ive heard it from some of the members I honestly don't think its true but they keep saying if they were to do it it would be considered as warez but they don't have to post a download they can post a link to where its at!!! I myself have wondered how to do it.

nothing comes close to the HTC Sense if your talking about launcher pro no its not all it does is change the icons and also there is someone working on it now from what Ive received a message from if you dont like the idea of it dont respond with smart comments stick with what you have.
There is nothing that tops HTC Sense right now name one? you cant at all! and nothing on the Vibrant tops what HTC has I like using my HD2 sometimes cause I cant stand the TW I love the HTC Sense and the new features the New desire hd has!!!!

lol, I wasn't making a "smart comment". I was stating that facts.
As of right now there is no sense for the Vibrant.
HTC sense is made for HTC phones, and it will take a while before a stable release if released, if ever.
Also, the code for sense is owned by HTC, so using it without there consent and porting it over to another phone is illegal, even though nobody cares too much.
And, LauncherPro is amazing. What exactly do you want from sense that you can't get on your Vibrant otherwise?
And, nice triple post.
HTC Sense is not gpl or apache licensed. It is intellectual property of HTC. Try to get a port going if you want but it won't fly here on XDA.

A lot of people with sense switch over to a 3rd party launcher.
There is just some fascination that people having with *HTC Sense*. Not that great of a interface imo.
Fyi, this is being worked on in the galaxy s forum.. Once its working on there we can try to get a port on our vibrants.

I agree this phone is really, really rough if you are on stock.
But after flashing the Bionix ROM, I feel as though my vibrant is smoother than almost any other phone out there..
Accept that sense probably isn't being ported to the Vibrant for a while, and settle the **** down.

That was already attempted, and from what I can tell it has/had more bugs then Gingerbread currently does.

Actually sense 2.2 on the eris has proven to be very fast, and this is 2.2.2. We've only seen roms ported for the Eris that were 2.2, so this might be something to look at

Yeah if 2.2 w/ Sense is ever ported to the Eris, it will have to be a device with similar or the same resolution screen and I think that is also ARMv6.
The Aria/Gratia is a little faster than the Eris but still ARMv6.

My point is GB is considerably faster, and it's quite noticeable too. Since most of the devs right now are focused on Gingerbread, I doubt (don't quote me on this) they'll "step back" to Sense 2.2. You could always try these though, they'll probably the closest you'll get. :/

Actually there are devs working on Sense 2.2 still and trying to get some bugs worked out. I believe the OP was probably hoping to give them something that might be of some assistance to them. Just because some others may not be interested or not want it doesn't mean it's necessary to give the guy a hard time about it. Some people like Sense while others like Vanilla. Some like Froyo and some feel GB is rather ugly. To each his own...

My main point of interest was the fact that its 2.2.2 for the Aria and not the stupid Gratia that gave us all that Go market crap, which was also just 2.2, this is a higher version. I know the same things wont wont, like the camera, but it was just a thought. You guys dont need to act like im some noob

No problem. I personally wouldn't mind seeing a nice 2.2 sense rom myself. Options are always good to have and apparently it seems that a lot of people don't even realize that there's still a lot of people that still run 2.1 roms.... but why would they want to do that when we have gingerbread now? lol

lol im still running 2.1 with Sense, Villain Rom for the Hero FTW
There's many things I liked about CM6 ROMs, but after three or four months using several of them, I went back to xtrSENSE v4.6.5 (a 2.1 ROM for those who don't know) a few weeks ago. I'll probably stick with it until CM7 reaches a final release, then I'll give one or more of the CM7 ROMs a serious look.
But if a 2.2 Sense ROM becomes totally useable (all features working), then I would definitely try that, too.

[REQ] Lockscreen. From Sense 3.0

I thought that it would be a really good addition for TSM Parts. On my tablet so I can't really link any videos or demos. But its pretty neat and I've seen it on my friend's droid Eris, so why not on the fascinate?
I know nothing about the technical aspects of how to port something etc, but I thought I'd thought I'd throw this idea out there.
Sorry for the post in dev section. I know the devs don't really look in any other sections. So yeah.

Don't know how difficult something like that is to port, but the reason you've seen it on an Eris is because it's an HTC phone with Sense... I would imagine that's pretty easy to port over
I imagine it's buried deeply in Sense's framework so I think porting it would be difficult, if not impossible. It would be cool though. The more lockscreen choices the better.

I guess this means you have never READ THIS? On topic, it is only possible to mimic a sense lock with what is available within the touchwiz frameworks (nitsuj17 has proven that very well). But no, a sense lock can't be ported to our device with the use of tw frameworks.

As for the op s original question... is it impossible? I used to yes to a lot if these things in pre sbrissen days... but now ill just say its unlikely
Most sense related things are extremely hard or too difficult to get working because of how heavily they are tied to the htc frameworks and resources
At best it would be too work for someone to get it working... so I doubt anyone would really take a stab at it... but then again who knows

It's actually quite simple to get it ported and booting. It's just that NOTHING will work, and it'll be laggy. With a ton of time invested in it, it probably could be done, but it'd be extremely difficult.
Either way, what we have now is spectacular, just that it'd be pretty sick to see some sense integration. Especially that lockscreen. The launcher can be replaced, as well as icons and system menus etc. Not lockscreens. Thanks for all the answers people!

So we may be getting MIUI soon. "Within a week or so" according to aceoyame

Wether it happens or not (Im not trying to stir up any expectations), what is the big difference between the two ROMs?
Very cool, I tried MIUI back when I had the OG X, it was nice but buggy. Hopefully this will be a better turnout!

I've never used MIUI, obviously since I have an X2. What are the major features on it?
This might be construed as sacrilegious in this forum, but MIUI from what I understand is an AOSP ROM that has an iOS look and feel to it.
See what I mean by being sacrilegious?

I actually believe once the BSR was released for the X2, someone released the "Chinese ROM" for the X2 which is what MIUI is from what I understand.

Yeah, I just looked up some videos and I definitely see the iOS resemblance (which kinda throws me off). The one thing I see they have for that ROM though is a lot of different lockscreens, which is cool but not important to me. I guess its just another option for people. I love CM7 and how it runs on my phone now. Apparently they are working on an ICS port too. I will probably flash that when/if it comes out.

Miui is a Chinese rom based on cyanogenmod. It's ui is based on several different OS's and ui's however. The main reason people think its too much like ios is the lack of an app drawer on the launcher. The launcher can be replaced just like any other, though.
There was a time on the og Droid when it certainly was buggy, but those kinks were ironed out pretty well in the gingerbread iterations.
Full support from Miui.us would depend on official support from cyanogenmod. Unofficial ports are possible whenever somebody takes the time to do it.

I like the MIUI look more than CM7. It is a very clean look and cool UI. I'm currently using MIUI on my OG Droid and CM7 on my X2. And regardless who the Dev is, it is a win for us to have options for an until recently dead in the water device.
Well, with aceoyame's new beta MIUI rom now posted I will be giving it a go in a few minutes to see if I like it better or the same as cm7. It is nice to have options. Just have to wait for dkz ICS rom now. Hopefully?
I will update my $.02 on likes/dislikes of the two roms as a casual user after I spend some time with MIUI.

This is the same thing that happened to me. I tried MIUI and honestly it feels hacked together. I don't know what the issue was/is but my phone definitely did not like it nearly as much as CM7 or even Eclipse 2.0.3 for that matter.
Perhaps in a later version I'll try it again to see if it's working a bit smoother. Until then, I really can't afford to have so many performance issues and anomalies.
