So, Just days after making my post about my thoughts on the latest stable Miui.us Rom which is version 2.10.26.3 I was looking through the original dev section and came across (almost as soon as it was put out) The Miui Lens edition. Which was originally titled to imply that the rom was able to be used right off the bat as a daily driver, so I downloaded, and installed it. And here was my original impression.
Before the first update release the rom was uninstallable, but this was fixed.
I installed it to realize that I stupidly had not installed gapps, so I picked from one of my default gapps version I keep on my SD card, and installed it.
I got back into the rom, to realize that out of the hardware keys (back, home, recent apps) the only one working, was back.
Within minutes, this rom was updated to fix said issue. And I currently have all buttons working, that said I am having a haptic feedback issue where none of the buttons make the phone vibrate, this was not enough of an issue to get me off the rom, so I continued and until today was waiting for another update to hopefully fix the issue, but even with said update, issues are existant that still make phone usage not completely satisfying, as it was in the Miui.us 2.10.26.3 version of this rom.
Usability current Testing results, and thoughts:
I would like to start out here by saying that I have every intention of going back to the lens release of miui as soon as I can confirm that it is stable enough for ME to use as a daily, which for me, generally means that everything I do on the phone has to function properly, without the need of downloading a separate application, or having to fix things manually. I like the lens release of the rom more SPECIFICALLY because of the developer. His releases of the Miui rom are getting better, not worse, and I likely believe that he will create the perfect Miui rom for our phone faster than the developers at Miui.us.
1. Miui Launcher Configuration is functioning properly
2. Miui Themes is currently functioning properly as long as an account is set up, during the set up process.
3. Miui Music test showed first, that the app was functioning properly, however upon secondary test of setting configuration I realized that when
the Id3 tag correction and album art download was enabled without setting up an account during setup process, that the music app would F/C
I rebooted and cleared my cache and dalvic.
4. Headphone test (Brought to you by the Lens Rom Forum) failed, without an application (headphone toggle) from the Marketplace any -----------headphones plugged into the device, will not output sound. The device will remain on speaker.
5. Miui Sound Recorder, upon initializing sound record brings the emergency notification (Internal Application Error)
6. Miui Music Visualizer on both lockscreen and widget are responding to system sounds only (such as a notification, or a previously enabled or defaulted touch sound. They do not respond to music.
7. Miui will not detect that music is playing and alter the lockscreen to music format for you, because of this, to access the lockscreen music controls you must double tap on the...dongle to drag and unlock, to switch to the music control lockscreen, this is not a major issue, however with the visualizer not working, the controls, and the widget look a tad bland for Miui. (odd how that works)
8. The Miui Virus Scanning Application is functioning properly (a test was done with a known app to contain a virus, it was found and removed)
9. The Miui Shake to organize on home screen is not currently an available feature for this rom.
10. The Miui Notes application is functioning properly.
11. The Miui Setup Process was completed without error.
12. Miui Wifi download speeds seem comparable to sense. However an issue with rom abuse may cause you to loose ALL internet access until phone was rebooted, I cannot test further as I am still currently unaware of how this happened. But after I got this rom, I was preforming tests on it to test stability for 3 hours straight without letting the device sleep, after 3 hours (and some odd minutes) my internet, while displaying I had a perfect connection in 3g, and wifi, would not download an app, load a webpage (tested on 3 separate browsers), or allow internet access to an application.
13. The Miui firewall application, Seems, to be functioning properly, however when first setup it did not block the first incoming call from test subject. All others, were blocked respectively.
14. The Miui Camera featured in this rom (actually a camera from a previous AOSP rom) is functioning properly, with all settings configured, It is not a Miui Camera but a modded camera none the less, and has interesting features, that I will miss, upon loosing this rom.
15. All Miui Notification configurations are working properly
16. Miui sound mods have been enabled on this device, allowing me to hear my ringtone from 3 rooms away in an apartment (currently not so on cm10, and Paranoid android (tho I do love that rom))
17. Miui Online music, notifications, themes, album art, and id3 tag correction will only work if an account is set up at the initial boot of the room during setup.
18. The Miui Torch is working without issue on this rom.
19. Awesome beats v3 is untestable at the moment but assumed working, as headphones can be enabled.
20. The Miui Built in equalizer is working properly on this rom.
21. The Komodo Sweep to Wake OC kernel is currently working properly on this rom.
22. Live wallpapers are working correctly on this rom
23. Miui Weather Widgets cannot function without a translated version of the Miui Weather Application that can detect US cities (not yet available)
24. The Miui Clock application seems to be functioning properly (tested alarm, timer, timezone config, and stopwatch)
25. The Miui Smart Dialer seems to be functioning properly
26. The Miui Call Record feature seems to be functioning properly (tested on a call with test subject)
27. Lockscreen wallpaper changer, homescreen wallpaper change, and live wallpaper change are functioning properly .
28. There is not a Miui Toolbox application on this rom (No root configuration other than what is listed in settings)
29. Adblock for android seems to be working on this rom.
30. Notification dual touch re-size seems to be functioning correctly on this rom.
31. Lucky patcher confirmed installed properly on this rom.
32. LBE guard and App control Miui Applications are functioning properly on this rom.
33. Prompt requesting root access is working properly on this rom.
34. Anreboot, and goo manager are working properly on this rom.
35. Dual core AOSP mod is functioning properly on this rom.
36. All but weather widgets are currently functioning properly on this rom.
37. Google voice (brought to you by the Lens rom Forum) is not currently working on this rom.
-I would like to point out, that sprint is partnered with google voice, and you can set it to replace your actual voicemail, and text you visual voicemail, making all your texts go to you, and all calls go to you, you have visual voicemail, and regular voicemail. It will also screen your calls and blah blah, idk what the app is for if it already does that, if you know something that you would be missing, please inform me promptly.
38. Lucky patcher patch confirmed working on all different configurations on multiple applications.
39. Flash for JB is working perfectly on this rom.
40. the Miui Browser is functioning perfectly on this rom.
41. the miui contacts application is functioning properly on this rom.
42. The miui messaging application is working properly on this rom.
43. The Miui Torch application is functioning properly on this rom.
44. The miui (breaking news) I just got another music F/C on lockscreen double-tap access
45. The miui Compass is working properly on this rom.
46. All lockscreen transition options are working properly on this rom.
47. 3g, 1x signal bars seem to be accurate in comparison to sense rom.
48. Calendar, reminders for calendar, and notifications for calendar are working properly on this rom.
49. GPS is gives me results accurate to 100 meters on this rom instantly, on Miui.us I get an instant lock to within 20 meters.
50. Mirror widgets are working properly on this phone.
51. Bluetooth is working properly on this rom.
If you have something you would like me to test other than the 51 things i have already tested for you please let me know below and I will try to get around to it within 1-2 days. I will keep a backup of this and of The Miui.us rom and keep them both updated, i will also, keep both of these posts updated to the best of my ability.
Thank you very much, and i hope you have a wonderful day.
Who are you?

I am...
I am a rom addicted htc user who wants to provide information for those who don't wish to flash a rom, and then find problems, when they could have looked to someone to tell them in the first place, and saved themselves the trouble.
I am also a rom addicted htc user who wants to see the roms I have loved on other devices (like the Miui rom) brought to the phone I love.
So I test to ensure that no one who is looking for a daily driver has to go through the pains of downloading a broken rom without them knowing about it when the information about the problems was nowhere to be found, but the good things about the rom displayed clearly in plain sight.
Thank you for replying to my post, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
If you're gonna do this you should make a general ROM review thread instead of making a new one every time you review a different ROM. Every time you write a different review in the thread just update the op with a link to the post with that review. Its not a bad idea what you're doing. It would just be better for everyone, including yourself, to have them consolidated into one thread.
Thank you for viewing my post.

Definitely understood youdug, actually thinking about creating a thread and moving all old OP review threads down a notch, so that the new review can be made more easily readable by people with quick running attention spans as the thread is updated, using multiple edits thats gonna be a hassle though at the moment while i have a time restricted limit on editing and posting, i was also posting them in seperate threads so that they would be viewed quicker and i could assign multiple tags to each, but i hadnt really thought about how i could put them in one thread while making them easily accessible.
Will definitely create a general rom review thread and find a way to make it work and once again...

i recommend that you make you own rom and review it
Assuming the authenticity of your post I suggest a pro and con approach to reviewing. Saying that a certain feature is working just makes your review look like a college textbook.
"Thoughts on the New LENS Miui Release."
My thoughts are that it, and a few other ROMs, aren't GPL compliant.

I was thinking wow, amazingly harsh considering I watched this rom coming together over xda via communication between lens and various testers since he doesn't even have the device.. Maybe consider knowing how things came about b4 criticizing?? Just my 2 cents.. No intent of offense whatsoever..
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
thankyou...XHAUS
and the others....
I will try and update my rom fully and comply with the gpl compliance rule...
I may have been mistaken but...I thought GPL only complied to Kernels and maybe source based roms.....
If i am doing something wrong..;.Please let me know through PM and I will be sure to fix whatever is wrong....
But to all you evo users
and to all miui users this projects that i am doing for the evo lte is all thanks to the testers.
I couldnt have completed the rom since I dont have the phone..But thanks to the testers here
We all made this happen

Thank you for replying to my post. I could make it that way but im going to have to figure out how to do so without leaving some things out for testing, I suppose I could test and not post all the results from my testing on the forum and only post that things are working or that they aren't and I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post.
@flex 360
I hope you do not take this as a REVIEW of the rom, but simply as what is working and what isn't, and im only displaying this information for the people who don't want to take the time to go through 100 pages of a forum to find out if a problem has been solved, just to find 20 pages later that another problem has shown up, Im not displaying this for people testing the rom as they want to go through and find the issues that you may have missed and comment on them to help development. Im writing these from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't want to test a rom, but does want to use it, because I am certain you know that there are a lot more of those people out there than people willing to test the rom.
But if you would like me not to post a view on your rom, I suppose I will not, but I can already promise you, that sometime in the past I have already flashed your rom onto my phone and used it for atleast a little while.
@fpineda101
Thank you for replying to my post, and I am glad that you understand what I am trying to do here along with some others. I am starting to understand that these "reviews" are coming off, to some people, in a different way than I intended them to. Although I would have left the term "noob" out of my comment I appreciate your understanding.
@sparytrainor
Thank you for replying to my post. I sincerely wish you would have read the entire OP before making a comment such as that. I gave many compliments to Lens throughout the entire thing, and I still believe he will have the rom working perfectly on our phones before anyone else out there because of how much effort he is putting into the development of his rom, I in no way intended to state anything negative about his rom, But to give information to people not looking to test, what is working, and what is not. Now that I understand how it is coming off to you and others I will begin to choose my wording more carefully.
Also, I had the rom within minutes of it being posted on xda-developers, and watched as it developed through the forum for a few days. To claim that I should look into knowing the person when I was one of the first to download and await progress is an incorrect assessment.
I also know that he is creating this rom without having the actual phone, which is inspiring, and another reason I attempted to compliment him throughout the entire process of the OP.
@Lens_Flare
Thank you VERY much for replying on my post. I do very much appreciate it and I hope you took no offence to my OP as I in no way intended for it to come off negative. I also hope that you understand my original (and previously stated) purpose for these threads. I am simply stating to the people, (not testers) but the majority, who are looking for a rom to stick with, that they can enjoy from start to finish.
I expect you to be the first to complete this rom for our phone and make it fully functional, WHICH IS ASTOUNDING because you do not have the actual phone. In all respects I look up to you and all rom devlopers on this phone as I am not one who currently possess is the ability to make one, and to be honest if I ever wanted to gain the knowledge and EVER create a rom, it wouldn't become popular as it would be a rom I could not post on this site (for legal reasons based on the apps and features that the rom contained, such as lucky patcher and black mart)
@All Rom Devs on xda-developers.com
I honestly had hoped that I would not have to clarify, least of all to you, my intentions for these threads. I simply originated with thoughts similar to those of the majority (the initial thought being, I want something different) and not as a tester of these roms, but as I came across a few (some not listed on xda-developers.com) and I realized that some of the roms that I REALLY wanted to try on my phone, fall in love with, and never switch from again, claimed no-where on their rom thread what the rom was currently missing, or what was broken (please note: I do not mean ALL roms on this site, but a few) and upon asking, I received the response (Flash, and see for yourself) which I at the time, I was not completely willing to do (as i generally have a pretty busy schedule, and cannot waste time flashing 3-4 roms a day). So i came to the thought everyone does, if you cant find someone to do it for you, do it yourself. Which lead me to do something that i do not generally want to do, but the majority of people downloading your roms are not testers, so i decided to take upon myself. Which is create these threads, and attempt in a way to make the issues seemingly understandable to people who do not even possess the proper knowledge required to understand what is wrong with the rom, even if told to them bluntly. Which i apologize to the majority, but again, is most people.
So if my reviews have AT ALL offended or been taken negatively by any rom developer, or even tester on this site. I sincerely apologize and i will begin to consider the wording in these "reviews". Because i in no way mean to offend, or be harsh, or state anything negative about your rom other than what the majority of people looking will want to see quickly. I view this as supporting your roms, as when a person who knows nothing about rom development, and has no appreciation for the rom developer (which i must sadly say is the majority of people seeking a rom) sees that your rom has ANYTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH IT (by their standards) that was not clearly stated to them, and they aren't willing to accept it, it will be much more difficult to get them to return to the rom, or their friends, or anyone they tell, or anyone who watched the youtube video they make, or anyone who reads their blog. Saddly this is how i must view the majority, and how i must explain to them what is wrong, in order to keep such a thing from happening to any of your wonderful roms that i have tried. I wish to see all of your roms become popular, be boasted about to people on the street by the majority, and see you flourish in the results of the incredible work you are doing to bring these roms to our phone, and this is a way i see to do it. I see one day walking past another on the street and hearing the name of the rom that i watched be developed on this site, And i wish to add my 2 cents in with these threads or this thread (which it is going to become)
Thank you all for viewing, and replying to my post, and i hope you all have a wonderful day.....

Thumbs up
Works brilliantly with my Titan, am running DCD 3.2.5 with it. There is a lag when scrolling thru emails and texts and an unsigned error when i try to open my photos and videos.
Killed my ram tho, had 22MB now down to 10MB, definitely made for vogue not titan. Gonna to tinker with it some more, some registry tweaking to see if i can make it perform faster but overall a great addition

do you have all the tabs working properly??? contacts, music, weather, programs, pictures....???
All my tabs are working just fine, it picked up all my contacts pictures in HTC home, i can call them just like i could before, i can scroll and read and send texts and emails, opera works great, audio manager is working great, its got my album covers showing, weather I just configured and it's working, haven't tried google maps search tab yet, will post and only other thing not working correctly is the keys in the settings tab, my wallpaper and sounds keys dont work, im getting no response when i press them, needs a lil more work but is working fluid and the lag from earlier seems to have disappeared
UPDATE:
My ram shot up to 17MB now
Everything works unbelievably well now!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425694
A uninstall and re-install did the trick for me, everything works as it should now. Ram isn't so bad, am averaging around 17 - 19MB, which is ok for now
I am trying it out, got most everything working besides the email or text messaging tab closing touchFLO randomly. It seems to be a memory hog too, bet it would run great on No2chems latest Cool UI, cant wait until they get a few more bugs worked out.

Fast and has great memory. You lose the camera though. Probably the best ROM I have run so far and he is still playing with it.
I have been running the initial 2d touch flo and the most recent version on my Sprint Mogul. A few minor bugs but otherwise it is running great. I am running it on DCD's 3.2.6. My RAM is hanging around 72% after some use.
The bugs include loss of volume control via the speaker icon at the screen top. And some problems getting the Opal audio manager to see my music.
The crew working on this project is really on the ball! Hope this helps anyone considering trying it out. So far I am happy...

Damn. I dont care for my camera anyhow. It comes in handy every once in a blue moon, but I'd rather have speed. Hmm. Maybe I should wait till a more stable version. flashing is killing me.
the development and hacking area of XDA has about 3-4 running threads about manilla2d with hundreds and hundreds of posts --- its a wreck.
Not to mention every htc owner is trying to get their own specific device going with this new touchflo. I would suggest that jeep14 rename this thread to something like "Manilla2d / Touchflo 2d development for the Titan" and we can use this as command central with some updated info in the first post. Otherwise its so unorganized.. Jeep14 help us get organized here buddy.
Just an FYI I have the latest touchflow2d on my device and half the features dont work. Just a status update to how bad this is. Not sure why every one else isnt jumping on board with this right now. it is like HTC Home 5.0 or something its GREAT!
I uninstalled the last version (which was hell) and installed the latest, and it still eats RAM like candy.
The next logical choice for me was to flash nuerom 3 pre1 and holy crap does that ROM fly! wow. no other words can describe it. I loaded again the latest M2D version on this ROM and it works awesome!
And I still have more RAM at boot than my buddies Kaiser.(almost )
This is sweet. I miss some of the functionality of DCD's finest but this rom (with 12 MB page pool) hauls ass.I will probably run this for a while and flash back to DCD, but for now this blows my mind!

If not to make this thread an organized central thread then what is the point of this thread to begin with? just to beg DCD or GC to do something?? The thread name is misleading, that is my point.
I am running DCD's latest, and others are running this NoChem business which I have never tried (the rom is in beta, limited releases, and still has bugs)
My issues as of now, that i can name off the top of my head.
Youtube doesnt play (error playing the videos)
internet wont launch Opera
Album doesnt work at all, it recognizes no pictures
Havent tested music..
We do need a central thread for TITAN users, and we need it here. Not random posts spread through out XDA. Just common sense.
edit:
I installed and tested this, but bug and error reports just clutter the main threads. And to be honest, I am not much of a developer so I just sit back and watch things unfold. But keeping device-specific chat about this project right here in our forum may help others here.

1. I have no idea why the OP started the thread. Maybe it was to ask someone else to get it done. As I recall this was posted before any thing was released for other devices.
2. dcd 3.26 does not have some of the files that nueROM 3 pre 1 does. Probably why everything doesn't work right away.
3. Apparently you are missing a file of some sort. Which YouTube cab did you download? I am using the original YT.cab and it works but it could be something in my ROM that is helping. There is a reg patch to get opera working (assuming your Opera has been installed to Program files). Oh, there is someone reporting that they have YouTube working on dcd 3.26 in the YouTube thread so obviously it can work.

Did you install the new camera album? For music I had to install the older Kaiser audio manager and then the new audio manager.
4. No we don't. That just spreads it out even further. Heck, someone felt the need to open another thread about modifying the xml file. That one should be closed and the info kept in the skinning thread. The other problem is people wanting to be lazy and not read things that are going on. Then they post stupid crude like "does it work for my device?". That clogs up the threads with all kinds of fluff. If this program was only for the Titan I would be right with but since it is for a large number of devices it is in the appropriate forum. Of course, this is my personal opinion and since I am just a member I can't control what happens.
5. Your link is broken.

That one should be closed and the info kept in the skinning thread. The other problem is people wanting to be lazy and not read things that are going on. Then they post stupid crude like "does it work for my device?". That clogs up the threads with all kinds of fluff. If this program was only for the Titan I would be right with but since it is for a large number of devices it is in the appropriate forum. Of course, this is my personal opinion and since I am just a member I can't control what happens.
5. Your link is broken.

1. You are right on that, it was an early post. I just would like the member who started it to maintain the first post and rename the thread, if we are to keep using it. That's what I am really trying to say.
2. I have no objections to using the nochem rom, I would like to test it out, however I cant find a link and it seems to be a limited release item.
3. The youtube cab I used was HTCYouTubeQVGA.zip from the HTC YouTube from Diamond And Opal.Jade thread. I will investigate that thread some more, now that you mention that someone has it working. So you are saying I still have to use YoutubePlay and cant get that beautiful one above to play the videos? The app itself runs.
Opera, maybe an issue on my end... I think the Opera Mini install that I did may have been corrupt somehow, so I cant really attribute that to anything yet.
4. I saw the XML editing thread, and it was pointless. But back to point number 1, I believe that here in the Titan Upgrading forum we should have the dedicated thread for us TITAN users. Then we wont have so much clutter in the Hack and Dev forums from noobs asking too many questions. I see it as helping both parties.
5. Yea that link is broken.. i'll take it down.
Thanks for your help... I hope to get a nice TouchFlo 2d customized for the Titan .cab up here soon ... that would be great!

***WELCOME***
Welcome everyone who has a question, but just can't seem to find an answer. My hope is that this thread will reduced the extremely large number of new threads being created for every little issue each user is having. The rules are very simple. Please follow them, as it's just not that hard.
1) Absolutely NO FLAMING. I am completely inflexible on this rule. If i catch you do it, you will get an xda vacation (will be banned, in case you don't get it). Also, just to be clear, "use the search function" is not an acceptable answer in this thread.
2) Before you post you MUST read THIS. Trust me, I will know if you didn't.
3) Anyone can post any issue they're having with their HTC Espresso: myTouch 3G Slide in this thread, but you MUST include a detailed description of your issue. If after a couple days your issue has not been addressed, please feel free to bump it.
4) Remember you are asking for help, and as the saying goes "it's easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar. So be nice to those who are helping you.
5) Please quote the person you are replying to, it will make it MUCH easier for people to sort through the many messages that will end up in here.
6) If you find your Question answered, find your original Post and change the font colour of the text into dark green. And at the bottom of the question post either provide a link to the answer or Quote the answer,
This way it can be easier for any moderator to delete Clutter so the thread can be easily searched and read by other users.
This is an experiment based on a suggestion by other users, so we will see how it goes. If all goes well then i hope that this thread will be a great help to many new members. If not then we will make adjustments. I want to thank all those who will be contributing to this forum for their time in advance.
Note: If you feel your thread has been moved here in error, please PM me and politely ask me to move the related posts back into the original thread. Sometimes the wrong threads get moved here by accident. Please also provide a clear explanation of why you think this topic deserves it's own thread. Angry tirades and rants will be of no use, and will more likely than not simply get you a warning or a ban.
Also if you dont have something important to say and your just going to complain then dont post.
great thoughts, also congrats on mod status sir
what happened to the rooting thread? all ive seen is bs the past couple days. its gone way off topic.

I agree it has gone off topic a little bit, But when nothing new is happening and people just want to add there 2cents then that happens. I will keep an eye on it though. I know the 3 Devs working on getting Root are working there butts off to do it and I have faith we will see it.
The good thing is, it seems rooting is not a matter of "if", just "when", which I never have a problem with.
i just hope that the "when" is "sooner" rather than "later" because im getting "pissed" about this "bloatware" >.<
Wifi Tether, apps to sd, froyo 2.2?
So now that root has happened I know a lot of us are interested in added functionality of our devices. So far mine is stock but with live wallpapers and some free'd up memory. However, I'd like to use wifi tether, apps to sd, and preferably get froyo 2.2 on here. My question is do we have a lot of devs working toward this now or is it too soon after root? I don't mean to seem impatient here and I understand there is still a lot of focus on getting everyone to the point of root since it was difficult for most of us. Anyway, any status update or something would be nice.
Answered quickly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6845610&postcount=11
Thank you!
Personally i know of 5 or 6 devs working on projects for the slide... If I remember correctly, another couple are going to start on it very soon also
Not sure if this is a dumb question... When the G1 was rooter, shortly after other methods of rooting were found. I fear some of us will endlessly have the problem of getting ADB to recognize the device in recovery. What are the chances of another root method coming available for the Slide?
if an update comes out, there will be more methods im sure... just not sure on a timeline for them

Fermunky, I've been following your problem because I was having it too. What finally got it for me was, I formated a different sd card, put it in the phone, removed all software ( htc sync, pdanet) and removed all drivers I could find using usbdeview. Then rebooted with phone unplugged, installed pdanet following all their instructions, then the loop worked perfect. Good luck
Tl;dr version, i tried it all at the same time and it worked
Widgets
hey, is it possible for someone to make some of the htc widgets compatible with adw launcher? I have the slidemeroot rom with live wallpapers and like it a lot. However, I miss the variety of widgets such as multiple calendar views now that I have to run adw launcher to get the live wallpapers. I'm looking for a way to get the best of both worlds and have live wallpapers along with the sense widgets. Is it possible? or better yet, get live wallpapers on stock rom without adw launcher so it works with my modes as well (cuz I miss that too). Maybe I just need to give up on the live wallpapers
can we have links to these listed roms?
Can't get superUser on legend to slide
I have been working/searching on the issue for a while and just cant figure it out.
every file is called superuser.apk and I am pretty sure they are all ROM/device specific. I can't get them to install.
Could someone help me with the following:
1. The source for the correct superuser.apk for legendTOslide Please
2. Do I adb push? In recovery? In device mode? sample command?
Thank you

You can get Live Wallpapers to work in ADW Launcher, but the HTC Widgets are bound to Sense UI.

No you cannot.
I've read the info at SamMobile (related to SamFirmware).
Anyone tried the ROM? From the comments, there are still plenty of bugs...
Edit: Whoever rated this thread 1star is a true moron and a real idiot.
This is a developer site where people do use beta versions.

There are several threads around here already concerning people using this ROM, so yes, people have used it. General consensus is that it's too unstable for daily use.
I'd be tempted to 1-star this thread as well due to lack of searching on your part.

Well I'll be nice and respond to you.
I've played around with the XXKP1 ROM and for the most part, it was surprisingly stable.
The default launcher IS quite temperamental, so I installed the Trebuchet launcher and 90% of the FC's disappeared. This launcher is a MUST on these leaked ROMs for the time being.
In order to get the best possible experience with these leaked ROMs you need to:
* Install the Bezke XXKP1/2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393569) - Flashable through CWM and is pre-rooted and also has the RIL fixes for 3G data
* Change the default keyboard to the standard Android one as soon as you can one to stop the keyboard FC's.
* Install the Trebuchet launcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=821149&d=1324230099) - and place it in /system/app folder. It should open when you press the home button. Set it as the default launcher.
* Stop the media scanner from running - it's a BIG battery drainer - go to Settings/Applications/Running and stop it there, and also stop the cached process
* Turn off key press sounds and lock screen sounds - having these on causes a continuous partial partial wave lock called 'AudioOut_1' - battery drainer
* Install these Calendar apks (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19448865&postcount=2) in /system/app to get the calendar working. Once in /system/app, click on them both to install them. The Calendar will now work
* If you want to use the Contacts.apk and Phone.apk from the 'vanilla' ICS ROM (instead of the installed TW ones) download those APK's (http://www.multiupload.com/6T0019180O) and put them in /system/app. Don't install the MMS.apk though it will break things!
* Turn off the red border from appearing on some screens by going to the Dev Tools App > Development settings > strictmode visual indicator > put it in OFF MODE - then reboot for this to take effect
Battery life then falls to normal levels. Be aware though that when you connect your phone to your computer to transfer files etc, that a media scan will be run again when you disconnect. You'll have to force stop the media scan again otherwise it will keep running.
What rom? That's been kept quiet hasn't it? Certainly no info or discussions anywhere on these forums about it
Everyone will 1-star this because you didn't bother to search before starting a new thread on the same topic!

Are you for real? I've been a forum member on many sites (not to mention developing vBulletin forum software) since forever, I know how to search. Not to mention that the SamMobile post was made today...
Edit: My bad, I apologize. Just found the thread now... it was not on the first page of results when I initially searched and I never look further than a page (like anyone else I guess). Still, rating a thread 1star is really a baby game. Why not just post the link instead? This is a discussion forum where people communicate, not a Nazi camp where the Moron Patrol votes 1's on everything they think is stupid.
Searching, always searching...
The search here can be finicky, but a google search on site:forums.xda-developers.com is generally good, and fairly up date as well.
I don't know it's a right place to write down this kind of thread. But it contains a contents about ROM so... I think this Forum is right place.
Okay Let's starts it.
Here are some informations and news about CM7 and MIUI for streak.
First I'm not good at English so some sentences were broke and I don't know I can write down what I want to said.
When I find that both ROMs were on xda, I announce it to hPa, developer who ports CM7/MIUI for streak and HeffyEnd who translate MIUI into Korean and add some patches.
they posted some article at Korea's dell streak user community and HeffyEnd show a way to use the MIUI into English. HeffyEnd tries to write about that at xda but he didn't write a post or thread at xda yet so I posts it.
First, hPa says he will upload and posts some informations and datas at xda's Streak Forum.
He says he will upload data about CM7 and MIUI's development and also how to change Streak's frame late into 55Hz. He will comes to this forum so if someone want to ask something, ask to him.
and he also say he didn't know how exactly he active a 2.4Ghz at Streak. He didn't tries to fool the developers and users, he didn't know the what's the problem of this fake clock(or useless 2.4Ghz… well I don't know to what to call this happening) problem so he just guesses about it.
He says his CM7 uses different clock rule after 988MHz, so He guesses the two tables which able to over clock to 1.4Ghz and 2.4Ghz are actually shows the same result without clock rate they show it.
and Korean user Deltaman tries a test on CM7 and figure our that the effect of over clock decrease after 1267Mhz. Aututu score increased when he increase the clock after 1267Mhz but effect was decrease. and result of 1806/2208/2476MHz is almost same(3216/3352/3351 point).
I say once again. "He didn't tried to fool others. It just a accident or something like that."
by the way, He hopes that xda's developers will make improve versions bases of his develop result. Yes, he hopes it.
Second, HeffyEnd says that there is a way to use the English version of MIUI.
There is a two MIUI rom. One is released by hPa and the other one is translated and modified by HeffyEnd. At the xda's link, I think It's the HeffyEnds.
HeffyEnds rom is optimized to Korean not for other country's so it's hard to use it outside Korea so use the hPa's MIUI instead.
http://www.mediafire.com/?y16376w3a8shlwi
At this link, you can download a original hPa's MIUI. Download this ROM and modify it's build.prop file.
When you open the build.prop file, you can see the text like below
ro.product.locale.language=ko
ro.product.locale.region=KR
change ko and KR into en and EN so both line will change like these
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=EN
save it and install it. HeffyEnd says to use this way, you can use the English version of MIUI.
by the way, this ROM is customized to Korean's phone number system so… It doesn't fit to other country's one. I mean some phone number at address book could be looks odd.
and I need to add some information about MIUI.
This MIUI ROM needs some times to stable after installation. After you install and reboot it. Do not touch streak about 5~10min to Rom will takes stable. I recommend 15min for safety.
If you uses phone without this rest time or try to use too fast, This rom show some errors. When I tried to use little bit hurry, I failed to add my google account at MIUI. So I reinstalled it and take a 15mins breaks, It works fine.
There is a more things you need to before you uses MIUI.
- Goes setting->My Location->Automatic Assisted GPS to OFF. If you don't do it. GPS didn't works well.
- Run superuser application and turn off the root. push the setting button on streak to call a menu and select a setting. At there you see the Root permission control, Turn off and turn it on again. After that, reboot.
- At the home screen, push device's menu button -> goes to home setting -> turn off and on the high quality and shadow.
and finally, I don't exactly know about that, MIUI has a problem when you using the titanium backup's full recovery mode(data and apps), So don't use it or partly recover what you needs. In my opinion, I recommend you to re setting datas manually.
In contrast, MIUI recovery works fine.
and last... I want to say about other ROM develop tries at Korea. I don't know those developer like to announce it but this is a common information at Korea so it thinks it doesn't make an problem.
- Three developers were tries to make a CM9. They has a their own version of CM9 test rom. I don't know now they uses hPa's data but they were trying to make it.
- The other ROM developer calls lonkey12 ,who makes a ROM calls LICS MOD(It does not released on XDA), tries to port CM7. It's the different to hPa's try. There is a some rumor that he tries to port CM9, but I failed to check it's true.
- There is a one more developer tries to develop custom ROM for Streak. NeCoritol who makes a NeCoroiD ROM(You can see his name and his rom at xda wiki but not uploaded here) tries somethings. I don't know what exactly he makes but he tries something.

WOW! Thank you so much dear! its really nice to see working and stable miui rom on my streak! we can use this for daily use
yes, and u also can change any other values in BP (e.g. DPI, heapsize, etc) - preflash
Hey! How great is this? Would someone be kind to post pictures of the MIUI rom and provide us with their user experience with it?
Ive been on the CM7 rom, and can say its the best rom available.. though the battery drain is worse but i dont use my streak as a phone.

Probably not for awhile, if at all. It isn't compatible with the ART runtime which is native on any 5.0 builds. If you want to run xposed you will have to go back to kitkat.

It all depends on what you're looking for. If you want a close to stock experience, I'd suggest BarRin:

Thanks, what kitkat ROM do you recommended, I'm one of those people who likes sticking to one ROM rather then trying different ones.

Depends on what you want out of your device. If you want stock experience you'd go the BarRin route. If you want aosp I'd go with Pac-Man or Vanir, those are my favorites. You really can't go wrong either route.
Every time I try to create and save a new contact, it saves the contact but then I get a popup that says contacts has stopped. Its weird, but the contact saves regardless...
Just thought I'd mention it. Other than that, this ROM is fantastic, have had no issues, even while using my g watch it never skips a beat!
Thanks!

You need to switch the SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive. Download SELinux Mode Changer from the play store, and it should work. It works on every Lollipop ROM I've tried.
Here's the stock LG G3 quick remote ported for AOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/app-quickremote-port-aosp-t2929146
First, just wanna say i'm getting kinda annoyed with the whole "you have less than 10 posts" thing forcing you to come to this thread, which no one else will ever actually 'check on' because if their stuff is working, why check a Q/A thread? I have more than 10 posts but still shoves me here anyway...
Oh well.. anyway...
Real question is:
What works and what doesn't? Plain and simple. I read some 'nice' things about this ROM from the actual thread, but there isn't anything that states a "this works, this works, that works. this doesn't work, that doesn't work" kind of thing... Every other LP ROM I've tried, has broken NFC which KILLS battery life. Has broken Bluetooth that causes Kernel Panics every time you turn Bluetooth off before disconnecting your devices. And some have issues with music playback.
I'm not a person to just randomly trust my devices to some person/people who've created custom code and yet doesn't actually post what the code is, what it does, and what it doesn't do. Sure it has a change log that seems pretty expansive, but there is only ONE log on there... nothing to tell me what has been worked on and what hasn't, and what works and what doesn't. Not gonna flash a new ROM, losing all my settings that are just right atm (except a few that can't be saved at all cause they're broken), just to find out that the same problems still exist, either worse or the same.
Currently have the CM12 Unofficial installed and it has broken NFC, Bluetooth Kernel Panics all the time (gotten less though since the jan 5th update), random/sporadic volume spikes if using Bluetooth/Headphones and a phonecall comes in. and a few other issues.
But currently there's no way to actually tell what is going on with this ROM at all. only thing i've seen that has anything to do with what works and such is someone says something like "only thing Illusion was missing was Bluetooth, and this has it". So idk if that is to mean NFC and everything works, or if its just a generalized statement. Some people seem to be reporting playback issues with default media player and google's music player. some have issues with camera it seems. but only very few people are actually saying anything..

Every aosp rom is going to have the same issues. Bluetooth partially working, NFC isn't working, and some people report different issues that other people don't have. As well if you look at the day it was released there has only been one release of it so far so there is your answer to the log. It's pretty easy to make a nandroid and flash something else and if you don't like it or it is worse then then your last rom revert to your nandroid.
Also if you freeze NFC in titanium backup you won't have to worry about NFC draining battery. Other then that everything that is broken in any lollipop will be broken in the any bother lollipop roms.
As far as your post count it says you only have 5. Also the point of these threads are so people don't spam the DEVELOPMENT thread with known issues that have been repeated ten thousand times. Now granted some developers would rather not have a Q and A section but some do. We all had to abide by the same rules as you.
Also for the code if you go to their Gerrit you can check their source. If there code was bad Dirty Unicorns would be a hugely popular rom across multiple devices eg LG, HTC, Samsung, etc, etc.

Posted alot more than 5, but eh, maybe something was deleted somewhere and thus maybe takes away from total post count? idk. I understand the reason for a Q/A thread, it does make sense. what doesn't, is the need to have such a requirement for 10+ posts. what if someone actually had something to contribute to the 'development'? now they're stuck posting in here instead.
I know about DU from back when I used it as my daily driver for the Evo 3D, and it was amazing. But you can't judge the quality of a ROM based on a different device all together. Yes I know they make 'quality' ROMs, but still proper documentation should be done to let potential users know what's going on. Whether or not an issue is something that's common with all AOSP ROMs, it should still be listed because if its not, and they somehow had them working, then no one would know. and if they did get those things working and did post it, then we wouldn't have this issue in the first place.
the nandroid situation doesn't always fix things. i regularly use Torque with a highly customized layout for the cars me and my brother work on. even with a nandroid, you lose all the data and the layouts. you can export the data and layouts, but they dont import back in once the nandroid is restored for whatever reason. forcing a 3rd party app on a desktop or something to be able to access the data, and having to manually redo the layouts each time. and its not the only issue i've experienced with restoring from a nandroid.
Titanium Backup does solve the NFC issue, but it still drains the battery, though MUCH less than if it was unfrozen. But the issue there, is that unless its been changed, you must buy the full app to be able to freeze system processes and such. So knowing if it was already disabled by default from within the ROM, helps people know if they need to locate the NFC process and freeze it or not.
I really dont mean for any of my postings to sound dickish or 'finger pointing'. Just that information is key with everything. There is no real excuse for having lack of information about something when they know everything they've done to their 'product'. Many people's livelihoods rely on their mobile devices, so being able to know just what they're doing to their device is something to be taken quite seriously..

Have you looked into the multirom manager thread in the Android development section. Perhaps you should set that up if you haven't. It allows you to flash multiple roms and be able to select which one you want to load when you restart your phone. Granted you would lose you setup for cm12 but you can always set it up one more time. It would also allow to you flash roms and see what works for you and doesn't without losing anything. I currently run BarRin as my primary with 7 different roms for secondary roms. So when I Reboot my phone I have 8 different roms to select from without having to flash anything.

I've heard of multirom before, but it was forever ago and to be honest, didn't know that was actually what it did. Way I had understood it was that it just allowed you to easily install ROMs, not that it allowed you to boot into whichever one you wanted at boot up. That actually does sound kind of interesting. Might just check that out in a bit. Thanks for the link! =D

No problem!! Just follow the directions in that thread and you will be up and running in no time.
work," gsm" on it
This might be a dumb question. But is Wi-Fi calling available in this ROM? I don't think it is but in hoping to be wrong.

Every time I try to open my fiancés contact information in contacts, contacts stops...
I saw another guy having the same issue as I... Only some contacts cause contacts to stop when you click on them... Is there a fix for this?
If it were any other contact I could care less... But its my fiancé...

Just a few comments here. I can relate to your frustration with these Q&A threads in that they are often full of questions and no answers. At least you got some good information in response to yours. I've seen threads with pages of questions and no replies. The devs, who would know best, almost never respond to these. Tesla, engine, and randompooka are the exceptions.
With regard to your final paragraph, I don't think your point about some people's reliance on their cell phones has merit. At best, these builds are works in progress. I thought it was understood that you put up with bugs in exchange for software advancements you can't get from your carrier. If I relied on my phone for my livelihood, I wouldn't root and flash custom roms, at least not until they were stable builds way down the road. I'd stay stock for now if I depended on them.
Personally, I'm thrilled with what we have after only a few months with a workaround bootloader. IMO, the exchange of custom roms for some unreliable features is a big win for me.
