LiquidSmooth v3.0 Beta - HTC Droid DNA

I'm running LiquidSmooth v3.0 Beta (LS-KK-v3.0-2014-02-13-dlx) on my Verizon DNA and I'm pretty happy with it. Big thanks to deadman96385, santod040, and anyone else who contributed to this project!
This is the first custom ROM I've run as a "daily driver" on my DNA after ~16 months on the stock ROM, so most of my impressions are in comparison with the most recent stock HTC software. I briefly tried CyanFox but switched back to stock. I also tried the "HTC One *STOCK* ROM Port" (DLX_WL_K442_SENSE55_MR_4.19.401.8) but couldn't get it to boot; actually flashing it messed up my recovery as well. I suspect maybe my download was corrupted since other people reported success with that ROM.
Back to LiquidSmooth:
- Perceived performance is generally pretty solid. It's mostly very smooth, living up to its name.
- I do get the occasional app crash (FC); haven't noticed a pattern yet. It's not frequent enough to bother me much.
- A few times I have had the phone become unresponsive when opening the recent apps view or when trying to unlock from the lock screen. But this hasn't happened in a few days. Could be the freezing was related to one of the features I tried and later disabled (see below), or just due to the ROM "settling in" (populating caches, etc.)
- Love KitKat and the add-on features:
- I'm using the "pie control" for quick access to apps, quick screen off, menu access, etc.
- I tried HALO and couldn't really figure it out / didn't find it useful.
- I like the idea of Active Display but it didn't work that well in combination with the way I use the lock screen, so I turned it off and use the lock screen's built-in active display features instead.
- I'm using the default Google Now launcher for the moment. I like the easy access to voice search and google now. Don't like that it doesn't have multi-touch for dragging icons between home screens.
I think the battery is draining faster than with the stock ROM, though it's hard to say because I've also been using the phone a lot more actively while I get it set up and configured the way I want. It may be that the active display feature of the lockscreen is using more power?
People in the development forum mention an over-the-air (OTA) update mechanism; I haven't been able to find that yet.
There's a new version posted called 03-05-14; I haven't tried that version yet.
Anyway, I'm quite happy with this ROM and imagine I'll stick with it for a while. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, fast, stable ROM, and in particular to anyone freshly rooted and looking for a solid ROM to try out KitKat and get a lot of great new features.
(note—maybe it would have made more sense to put this directly in the existing LiquidSmooth development thread, but I don't have permission to post there. And I'm not developing the ROM, just using it.)
Thanks again! Great ROM.

How much did they pay you? LOL
I tried it as well as all of the other KK AOSP ROMS. I really like AOSP.
I was on stock until viperDNA 2.0 came out, then I decided to S=OFF/ROOT/etc... and plugged Viperware in. It was awesome. Not an issue ever. So I wanted to give 3.0 a try, after trying every ROM out there (actually it kinda became like crack to me LOL).
So far after several days, it's 5x5, not an issue at all. On my phone, only the Viperware works as advertised.
That's not to say that Viperware doesn't have its issues, but I just haven't seen any yet. As I said I really like AOSP, but because Viperware uses Aroma installer, I can delete almost everything - which gives it a kind of AOSPishy look/feel.
My sig hits it; these developers (ALL of them) are amazing and do all of this for US on their own time for FREE. If I were a kagillionaire, I'd employ you ALL.

Hah! Thanks Yehuda. I started this thread because I wish there were more ROM reviews here on xda, since I don't really have time to try out every ROM. I appreciate your review of ViperDNA; maybe I'll try that next.
Update on LiquidSmooth: after a week or so I found that it wasn't as clean as I originally thought and went back to (rooted) stock for a while.

[Q] A lot of issues with the Galaxy Tab, need some help please

Hi,
So I just recently got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I am familiar with Android and I know what I'm doing (or so I think lol) but some things just aren't working and I don't know if it's me or software limitation. Regardless I'm hoping someone can shedd some light on these...
1. The market is lacking a LOT of applications that are available on phones. Is that right? I thought it would just scale for the most part....I can't even find the official Facebook app on the market. Am I looking in the wrong place or something? Hulu? Netflix??
1a. Some applications that I sideload (mainly widgets) like typoclock or something of that sort....install, but when I go to add the widget it is not there, as if never installed. Even when I try to reinstall it, it says that it will replace the old one so i know for a fact that it installs, but the widgets aren't available, and they arent listed in the installed apps drawer either.
2. It seems kind of sluggish...and I really haven't installed much, even from a cold boot...it's kinda laggy, not as quick as I have seen on some review videos. Quadrant scores around 1400-1500. I Rooted it, installed the latest SunBurst ROM and overclocked to 1.4Ghz and it's still laggy often despite nearing 3000 on quadrant now.
3. So I couldn't get any Netflix apk to work on it stock, so once I rooted, installed Sunburst ROM it came installed with a Netflix app, but I don't think it's official since the icon is orange and has a little android on it. Needless to say THAT app doesn't work and CAN'T be installed (I figure it's cooked onto the ROM) regardless I found a Netflix apk that install and replaces it, and works...but after one day it reverts back to the old netflix and doesn't work. So pretty much everytime I want to use Netflix I have to reinstall and overwrite with the new Netflix apk I found...it's annoying. (and the search function doesn't work on that Netflix either)
I know it's a lot to rant about and a lot of issues, and I love the tab and honeycomb, but I can't believe these issues still persist. I hope someone can help me with one/all of these and I will be forever grateful.
Thanks, hope someone can help...
1a. Try a restart after you install a widget. It seems that if the widget is not made for HC, it doesn't appear before you restart.
i tried rebooting but that didn't help any unfortunately...
There's a netflix 1.3 APK somewhere that sideloads perfectly. I haven't tried it with Touchwiz yet - I haven't even touched Touchwiz.
Try stock ROM first. Your ROM might have broken something. I know Bonsai completely broke USB storage support as an example, and Starburst claims to be the "most complete and fastest Touchwiz experience" which means it's going to have missing and broken things. Any ROM dev making claims like that is compensating for something. The "hacked-icon" Netflix app is an obvious sign they went a LITTLE too far.
Netflix sideload works perfectly on my Tab. Unrooted. TouchWiz. Stock.
i tried netflix fix on starburst rom, it did work but reverted back to fcs after a reboot. i switched to bonsai 3, netflix seems to be working fine even after a reboot.
2. It seems kind of sluggish...
The default launcher is a bit sluggish, it is a honeycomb issue. For me I have seen after a "reboot", the tab does take a couple of minutes to "settle", then it is smooth for me, but if you have lot of widgets on your homescreens it will be sluggish, my experience in any case.
thanks to all you guys for all the replies.
As far as the Netflix, I know I do have the correct apk I think the issue is that it isn't playing nice with the one that is baked into the rom. I guess I will have to install another rom.
However I haven't heard anything on the apps, is that right? There's no Facebook? Anyoneelse having issues with Widgets not appearing?
For Facebook search for an app in the market called 'Friend Me'
Looks great and works great =)
for getting rid of sluggishness try this launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188701

Thanks! Good call, app looks great!
@js931,I'll give that launcher a try and see how it goes.
I understand and feel for you on your problems. My 3rd (and final) Galaxy Tab is on the way to me from Amazon.com. I also have an Asus Transformer on the way as well and the device that gives me the least amount of problems is the device I plan to keep. I want to like the Tab but I don't have high hopes since I'm about to be on my 3rd device. The 2nd one worked perfectly after Touchwiz for a while - even fixed issues I was having such as the typing lag - but the issues I had with the first one (screen and/or Wifi doesn't respond after bringing the device out of sleep) resurfaced a few days ago. The 2nd Tab also had something loose on the inside as it produces a loud rattling noise whenever it vibrates. While that is easily cured by turning off the vibration, I paid $600 for this device and I expect it to be near-perfect. So any little issue I have with this 3rd Tab means it's going back for a refund and I'll keep the Transformer... assuming it behaves like it should, lol.
At any rate, good luck with your issues. The Tab is a beautiful device but seems to be problematic... at least that's my experience with it.

OaT's Light n Tasty

Anyone else having problems installing the WIFI Drivers on-top of the latest OaT's Light n Tasty build?
I installed release dated 05/08/12 as usual (Cache, Dalvik, etc) install on-top of a previous OaT build and the latest Google Apps (OaT's "Light n Tasty" GApps (04/29) without problems and immediately began to have WIFI problems with the default build.
As suggested, I tried to install the Flashable ath6kl zip posted for LnT and the install completes, but the system locks-up showing Cyanogen - Loading message and never proceeds to the default ANDROID default boot screen.
I'd place this message in the OaT Light n Tasty developer build folder, but I don't have right to post there yet (need 10 posts and I'm only up to 5), so that is why I'm posting here.
Either way, I was able to reapply the 5/8 build and am surviving with the default CM9 WIFI drivers that kinda work sometime and not others.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks for the support! Sorli...
OaT posted today that he found out the wifi driver package he posted was broken. I would suggest that you try the 4/28 version B and see if that works better for you until a new version is posted.
Corporate Mail Issues?
Wanted to pick this thread back up for current discussions around the JellyBean development.
Is anyone else having issues getting the Corporate e-mail account to process on the 8/19 build of CM10? I have not been able to get my Corporate mail to successfully connect, and I've replicated the settings from my Droid 3 that happens to be running a CM10 build as well.
How does one reinstall the APKs for Corporate/Exchange e-mail? I may need to try this, but have not installed APKs on my own.
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
(Not calling this a bug, since OaT hasn't been asking for bugs given the early development stage of his ROM.)

Simply download the APK on your tablet from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557111
When complete, click the notification and it will prompt you to install it. When it tells you it's complete, just click Done and you're ready to roll!
The end has come to OaT and CM10!
Disappointing news - OaT ROM is discontinued as the dev wasn't seeing the love from the users.
I think this indicates the end of the TouchPad and Android unless CM9 moves forward, or someone picks up CM10 from an old ROM that's floating around the internet.
Right now, I haven't seen much of anything, and Rev Kyle isn't sounding optimistic.
Boo! :crying:
--McBean
Just wanted to toss out my 2 cents...Since owning 2 touchpads, i've have always been running OAT's rom since day one and CM9 on the other
Both ROM's have always rocked solid outside the basic issues....Kudos to the Dev's for that!
Currently, i've been running 07-29 since day off release and it has been my daily driver....never took the time to install the Beats version, as i was content with the original...i did DL the OaT-JB version and even that was rocking.
OAT it's a shame we will not see the love you've have had for the touchpad....ill miss the updates and following the thread.
PLEASE if you decide to give it a go again, id be more than happy to assist with any "testing".
Thanks for such great work and making my HPTP a very useable tablet. Till then.....

I'm really bummed to hear OAT steeping away from TP updates and support.
I like many did not have enough credits on xda-developers forums to post messages and replies when changes were made and I had no way of supporting his efforts on this forum. Shame and not a big surprise and hopefully things and TP support continues. Sorli...

like the rom so far very peppy however I am not a fan of golauncher never looked right for me. I am using Holo Launcher HD it is very peppy for my usage now I don't get why someone was having force close problems with it as it has been working great for me. The one thing I love about it is that gestures can be customized and it is not a premium feature.

I tried Holo launcher as I use that on my other devices...
But on my TP set to 120DPI, I think it looked horrid. I could not stand the fact that the icons were looking fuzzy and odd sizes... It looked fine at the default 160DPI but I like mine set at 120 and it was had. I had to go back to GoLauncher and it looks better for me. I have not tried ADW EX but for now, until CM10 becomes available (stable and not as nightly) I will stick with GoLauncher.

Ahh...that is why I was having problems with Holo Launcher and wondering why I had to mess so much of the settings.
I'm hopeful CM10 makes it, but then I'm not putting much stock since so many people are moving on to other hardware and leaving our TP behind in the limelight. Sorli...

DL link and Thoughts on Miui 4.1 for the HTC Evo 4g LTE

Miui 4.1 has been released for our device and has a currently stable (minus the initial F/C on JB roms, already widely known)
Miui is a wonderful rom that attempts to be as original as possible, and as customizable as possible, The dialer, music app, gallery app, messaging app, settings, Root Access Manager, virus scanner, firewall, Settings, ringtones, notifications, status bar, launcher, lockscreen, icons, Rounded screen, wallpapers, themes, weather app, notes app, (blah blah blah, much more) are all SPECIFIC to the Miui rom, and are different, and feel original, and completely separate from the plain roms we normally see (Sense, ICS, JB, PA <--->.>) Which all use the same launchers, with slight modifications. The Miui rom feels unique to all others, and really made me want something new, and it delivered, by giving me EVERYTHING new.

Please before downloading, read what I posted on the forum, otherwise, you will have a terrible first impression of this rom.
-If you do not wish to read, skip to the end of this post-
-Copied Post- -I am the original owner of this post, giving me right to copy information from one forum to another-
I want to post this in order to explain to people some problems/issues with this rom. I was very excited to receive it on my phone however there were issues on the latest version that I must point out for people looking to download this, and I hope this is seen by those of you who are also experiencing this issue which you no doubt are if you are using the latest (or any in the month of November) version.
ALL of the November versions of this rom have a flaw so before you continue reading, the last working version of miui is the 10/26/2012.3 version, any versions after this version have the flaw that you will be made aware of before you view this message.
The latest 11/26/2012 version of this rom has the following errors that will complicate REGULAR phone use.
-Browser: The Miui Browser on this rom will F/C (force close) upon touch after the initial bookmarks screen.
-to elaborate further, If you go to any website in the browser, and then attempt to touch any part of the website, the browser will F/C.
-Browser Based Loading Apps: Any app that attempts to open a website to have you view information from it will also F/C upon touch.
-Permissions Manager: The part of the permissions manager that asks for root access is broken, and will cause permissions manager to constantly F/C.
-This breaks the Miui toolbox app and the themes app, they will not function on the latest version of this rom.
-The hardware menu button is not available in the latest version of miui, unable to change wallpaper without using themes application.
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-This will prevent you from using ANY market available android browser on the phone, and the Miui browser.
-This will prevent you from using the Miui toolbox, and most miui themes.
-This will prevent you from using a large number of apps that require internet access.
-This will prevent you from using any available Root Access Required Application.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
The Previous Versions of this rom (uploaded in November) have the following issues that will complicate REGULAR phone usage.
-The browser will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user on a normal website.
-Any application requiring direct website access will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user.
-There are no Permission Manager issues with the previous November releases of this rom.
-No way to toggle menu button, no way to access menu
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-No way to access the internet via ANY market available browser, or the Miui Browser.
-A large number of apps that require internet usage will no longer work on this device.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
Latest working version of Miui: 10/26/2012.3
-.3 must be specified, as the versions released before .3 have a random constant soft-reboot issue at start of OS. (you generally will not make it to set up email before this begins)
-the .3 version of the 10/26/2012 rom has none of the previously listed issues in this post.
-However I must specify, that although I have not done testing to fix this issue, GPS does not seem to be working on this version of the rom.
I want to apologize to the OP, and or Dev. if this came off as Insulting, or offensive in any way. I know that making this must be difficult and I in no way mean to offend. I absolutely love this rom in every way, As I always will and have been a fan of MiUi. The thought of it being close to working on my device is incredible, and I do want to thank you very much for bringing this opportunity to me.
That being said, Changing the OP to include a (I must assume) untested (since the start of November) version of this rom is disappointing. I have gone through and proved, atleast to myself, That this is not user error, if you have any information proving otherwise, or any information at all on how to fix the latest version of your rom I would greatly appreciate it. I want to inform you that this post is an attempt to support your rom, while there may be a section of these forums to post errors that are found, the unknowing people who visit this forum will very likely download the latest version of this rom, claim it unusable, and not check for a working version. The next step is a rumor is spread, keeping people from attempting the rom, and the last step is the motivation deprivation caused will cease development of this rom, which I sincerely do not wish to see happen, as based soley on the 10.26.2012 rom I have become a fan of this project.
Please continue the great work you have done to provide Miui to the Htc Evo 4g Lte or HTC Jewel users of this world. And I hope to hear back from you promptly
-Copied Post-
-if you skipped-
The latest stable version of this rom is the 10.26.2012.3 release of the rom, the version listed on the OP (11/26/2012 release) has many issues that will greatly complicate regular phone usage, and cannot be accepted as a stable release, nor a daily driver. To explain shortly...
Broken versions of this rom: (any in November are not currently working correctly)
-No Browser from the market, or the Default will work.
-Root access is broken, Cannot grant root access to any app, even system apps.
-No menu, no way to toggle menu.
-incorrect theming
-constant Permissions manager F/C

Wrote down as I was going, if anyone would like me to test something for them that isn't in the list of 55 things I tested feel free to ask. I don't mind as I am actively trying to find issues with this rom as there seems to be some back and fourth conversation over it. Im running out of things to think to test, so any ideas im open to try.
Yeah, Check out the Start of the Link
The link has spaces to prevent it from being a link, put it back together and copy into url for the Forum location of this rom.
This entire, Long, thought-out, time consuming post relied on you being able to view that link, without that ability, I would not be able to post this, long, thought-out, and time-consuming post, that contained valuable information to obtain Miui on your Htc Evo 4g Lte, and to help the regular development of this rom continue, while giving a spark back to the evo that while many roms may have been tested, all felt the same, which was a little bit of a let down for you, as it was to me.
I want to quickly state that I mean no offence to the developers of all other roms for the htc evo 4g lte as I have tried them all and have some that I love, and some that I have mixed feelings for. I am simply putting this information out there so this rom also has the ability to develop as well as yours has, as I am sure even you can admit, that the Miui rom is a rom that is greatly desired for this phone. All of your roms had their different features, different mods, different mod packages, updaters, even for one, it had its own app installer, and Battery usage customization to improve battery life (venom). I am simply posting this for those out there, who have tried every rom out there, and still seek something to fall in love with.
Thank you very much for viewing this post, and I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Wow..
Thanks for the write up. I do miss MIUI and development has been excruciatingly slow, tho I know hard work is being put in.
I won't give up stable, fully functional roms for it right now, but I do hope it progresses into a daily before this phone becomes to outdated. I have my doubts because I hear rumblings of how difficult it is to bring MIUI to some of these phones these days, which is unfortunate.
Cheers

Yeah, what do you want me to say. There hasn't been a stable, daily driver miui.us build for the Evo LTE, yet. I have flashed just about all of them. Posted multiple logcats. If i remember right there were a couple of us who were getting a LOS on the October builds.
http://goo.im/devs/miui/jewel/MIUI.us_jewel_v4.1_2.10.19_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_0xD34D.zip
this is a good build, i have been running it since it dropped, with no major issues.

I want to thank you for viewing my post, and especially for replying to it quickly. I would like to state that everything I have found other than gps (which is currently untested) and the initial (only at start) F/C that the 10/26/2012.3 version of this rom is currently fully operational, and I am using it as a daily as I to love Miui and was excited to try miui 4.1. The only Miui feature that, that specific version, of the rom is currently lacking, is the Miui Camera. Otherwise, the 10.26.2012.3 release of this rom is fully functional and to the extent of my knowledge, usable as a daily driver, as long as you are ok with the initial F/C at boot that most JB roms have been experiencing.
To download this specific version of the rom, you may find the exact download link to the 10.26.2012.3 release of it here
http:// goo .im /devs/miui/jewel
just take away the spaces. I am of course in no way attempting to force you to try the rom, this is entirely your decision of course. Simply stating that this release of the rom, to my knowledge, is stable, and working for me currently as a daily driver. I will update the OP with information in regards to GPS soon.
Thank you for viewing my post.

the 2.10.19 build of this rom may be currently functional, I however am one to be closer to the latest stable and functional update, which is the 10.26.2012.3 release of the rom, to my knowledge, I do not see anything wrong with this version of the rom, and the link to all downloads for this rom have been posted.
Thank you for viewing my post, and replying promptly. I did not get far enough to thoroughly test the 10.19 version of the rom, as while backtracking the 10.26 version was the one that worked correctly for me, and I have not gone backwards from there, the download link for the 10.26 version of this rom has been posted, and if you would like to see if any improvements were made since that version be my guest.
If you do so, please let me know of any changes you may notice from 10.19 to 10.26.
Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
Thank you for replying to my post.

I would like to thank you for replying to my post, and I would like to state that I am currently using the 2.10.26.3 release of the originally posted rom as a daily driver, and have found no real issues with it at this time. If you have any issues that I may not have noticed I would definitely like to hear them. I haven't had anything not work for me yet, other than the general JB download speed slowdown, that is currently experienced on every rom currently supporting JB, and GPS detecting my location slower than sense (which can also be said about every other JB rom)
As of right now I am happy with the ROM and thought that I had conveyed that the rom was functional in my OP. Any information related to errors you have noticed or heard of that I may be able to test and attempt fixing personally I would greatly appreciate.
Thank you very much for the edit on your post. It was much more informative than "yeah"
Important Information Removal From Miui.us Site.
I would like to inform you that my original post on the Miui.us rom's forum has been removed. I attempted in this post to convey that posting a non working version of the rom as the first clickable download link was not the right action to get people to try this rom if they wanted to and receive a good experience.
To be clear, and to re-state.
The 2.10.26.3 version of this rom from what I can see, has no errors other than ones that have already been noted as JB errors for this device. such as the initial F/C that goes away after clicking on it twice and generally does not pop back up. Slower GPS point locating which is known to be a JB error for this device, it will still locate you, just not as quickly. and a Slower overall download speed, which can also be tied to JB for this device.
As far as the rom goes, excluding the normal JB errors, the 2.10.26.3 version of this rom, from what I can tell, is fully functional, and the download link is listed in OP.
any of the November releases or 2.11.anything currently have errors that jeopardize regular phone usage. Such as a non functional browser, and a non functional Root Access Manager (Which is like SuperSU and Super user, but MiUi specific, also not the exact name)
I am simply making sure that this information is conveyed, as this IMHO is the latest, daily, usable, stable, functional, version of this rom.
Thank you again, and I apologize for having to make my point, so many times.
Fyi, you can open the permissions manager and manually give apps root access. It's just the initial request for root that will break it. It's in the tools folder in the launcher. As well, someone posted instructions for remapping the menu key on both the miui.us thread and we figured it out on the other miui thread on here.

Thank you for replying to my post. Did you happen to fix the browser F/C's, With every browser? cause im a tad more interested in that. For root, I also looked at doing something like that, but I don't know why I would when the 2.10.26.3 release already had that working.. im unsure what was so necessary that they had to break their root app. Im unsure about the menu key, but if its already in settings Im fairly certain there was no option to remap to menu, cause I tried that. if its in the toolbox however, it wasn't working cause my root app wasn't working (of course I could have constantly re-installed the rom, and then manually gave root permissions to the toolbox app (which is a downgrade from normal android) After re-assigning the recent apps to menu, but that is too much of a hassle to go through on a freaking smart phone , and I sure as hell don't want to mess with something that broken to get it to work, when the 2.10.26.3 version didn't have this issue. If it wasn't in the toolbox and I had to manually go in and edit something to get the menu remapped, then again I must state, why not just go with the 2.10.26.3 version of the rom. I am totally at a loss here, what was so broken in 2.10.26.3 that required breaking the working rom to fix? I have everything working fine on my rom without having to do anything to get it there. Do I need to make another post to see what people were having a problem with? if I do please inform me promptly. The ability to browse the internet via a browser, is one of the main reasons people first get a smart phone. If that's broken, What did I get a smartphone to do? play some games? there are other things for that, that are portable and have better games. I know that the Miui.us rom that I want, isn't a broken rom that was worse than its previous release a month ago.
Please if you could be so kind as to tell me what you thought was wrong with the 2.10.26.3 release I would very much like to hear it. Im not being sarcastic, I seriously want to know. Why break what isn't broken to fix it?
I stand by my original point made in the OP, the 2.10.26.3 release wasn't broken, so don't download a broken release. If you are looking to get this wrong, don't settle for less than perfect, by downloading a rom that is made for you to fix it, when the dev could have fixed it himself.
Thank you very much, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Miui 4.1 has been released for our device and has a currently stable (minus the initial F/C on JB roms, already widely known)
Miui is a wonderful rom that attempts to be as original as possible, and as customizable as possible, The dialer, music app, gallery app, messaging app, settings, Root Access Manager, virus scanner, firewall, Settings, ringtones, notifications, status bar, launcher, lockscreen, icons, Rounded screen, wallpapers, themes, weather app, notes app, (blah blah blah, much more) are all SPECIFIC to the Miui rom, and are different, and feel original, and completely separate from the plain roms we normally see (Sense, ICS, JB, PA <--->.>) Which all use the same launchers, with slight modifications. The Miui rom feels unique to all others, and really made me want something new, and it delivered, by giving me EVERYTHING new.

Please before downloading, read what I posted on the forum, otherwise, you will have a terrible first impression of this rom.
-If you do not wish to read, skip to the end of this post-
-Copied Post- -I am the original owner of this post, giving me right to copy information from one forum to another-
I want to post this in order to explain to people some problems/issues with this rom. I was very excited to receive it on my phone however there were issues on the latest version that I must point out for people looking to download this, and I hope this is seen by those of you who are also experiencing this issue which you no doubt are if you are using the latest (or any in the month of November) version.
ALL of the November versions of this rom have a flaw so before you continue reading, the last working version of miui is the 10/26/2012.3 version, any versions after this version have the flaw that you will be made aware of before you view this message.
The latest 11/26/2012 version of this rom has the following errors that will complicate REGULAR phone use.
-Browser: The Miui Browser on this rom will F/C (force close) upon touch after the initial bookmarks screen.
-to elaborate further, If you go to any website in the browser, and then attempt to touch any part of the website, the browser will F/C.
-Browser Based Loading Apps: Any app that attempts to open a website to have you view information from it will also F/C upon touch.
-Permissions Manager: The part of the permissions manager that asks for root access is broken, and will cause permissions manager to constantly F/C.
-This breaks the Miui toolbox app and the themes app, they will not function on the latest version of this rom.
-The hardware menu button is not available in the latest version of miui, unable to change wallpaper without using themes application.
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-This will prevent you from using ANY market available android browser on the phone, and the Miui browser.
-This will prevent you from using the Miui toolbox, and most miui themes.
-This will prevent you from using a large number of apps that require internet access.
-This will prevent you from using any available Root Access Required Application.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
The Previous Versions of this rom (uploaded in November) have the following issues that will complicate REGULAR phone usage.
-The browser will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user on a normal website.
-Any application requiring direct website access will F/C upon receiving touch input from the user.
-There are no Permission Manager issues with the previous November releases of this rom.
-No way to toggle menu button, no way to access menu
Tests implemented to make sure this was not user error: (attempted each separately)
-Kernel replacement
-Re-installation
-Older Miui version Kernal Replacement
-Dev. Options editing
-Latest Gapps Update.
-Different, and Altered TWRP versions
-Different formatting settings inside of TWRP
Regular phone usage issues:
-No way to access the internet via ANY market available browser, or the Miui Browser.
-A large number of apps that require internet usage will no longer work on this device.
-This will prevent you from changing your wallpaper, or accessing the menu in any application.
Latest working version of Miui: 10/26/2012.3
-.3 must be specified, as the versions released before .3 have a random constant soft-reboot issue at start of OS. (you generally will not make it to set up email before this begins)
-the .3 version of the 10/26/2012 rom has none of the previously listed issues in this post.
-However I must specify, that although I have not done testing to fix this issue, GPS does not seem to be working on this version of the rom.
I want to apologize to the OP, and or Dev. if this came off as Insulting, or offensive in any way. I know that making this must be difficult and I in no way mean to offend. I absolutely love this rom in every way, As I always will and have been a fan of MiUi. The thought of it being close to working on my device is incredible, and I do want to thank you very much for bringing this opportunity to me.
That being said, Changing the OP to include a (I must assume) untested (since the start of November) version of this rom is disappointing. I have gone through and proved, atleast to myself, That this is not user error, if you have any information proving otherwise, or any information at all on how to fix the latest version of your rom I would greatly appreciate it. I want to inform you that this post is an attempt to support your rom, while there may be a section of these forums to post errors that are found, the unknowing people who visit this forum will very likely download the latest version of this rom, claim it unusable, and not check for a working version. The next step is a rumor is spread, keeping people from attempting the rom, and the last step is the motivation deprivation caused will cease development of this rom, which I sincerely do not wish to see happen, as based soley on the 10.26.2012 rom I have become a fan of this project.
Please continue the great work you have done to provide Miui to the Htc Evo 4g Lte or HTC Jewel users of this world. And I hope to hear back from you promptly
-Copied Post-
-if you skipped-
The latest stable version of this rom is the 10.26.2012.3 release of the rom, the version listed on the OP (11/26/2012 release) has many issues that will greatly complicate regular phone usage, and cannot be accepted as a stable release, nor a daily driver. To explain shortly...
Broken versions of this rom: (any in November are not currently working correctly)
-No Browser from the market, or the Default will work.
-Root access is broken, Cannot grant root access to any app, even system apps.
-No menu, no way to toggle menu.
-incorrect theming
-constant Permissions manager F/C

I would like to state again, the 2.10.26.3 release of this rom is stable, and fully functional to my knowledge. Gps, remains untested for now, I will update this thread with information relating to its functionality at a later date, the direct download link for this rom is

Very interesting as I was about to post something about the lens edition of the lens Miui before checking on my OP. Thank you for bringing that up as I am just about to uninstall the lens version of this rom, and re-install the miui.us 2.10.26.3 version of the rom in the OP. The Lens rom is gaining progress fast, and I would urge everyone to check it out, but it is currently much less stable than the version of Miui.us listed in the OP, even with its latest 2.11.30 update, so if you are looking for a daily driver, then the one I am looking it is the one currently listed in OP, HOWEVER, I will be switching back to the Lens Miui rom when they get the thing a bit more stable because I honestly trust the developer to do so in a short amount of time.
I will be updating my OP shortly.
I apologize.
I was looking at my OP and I realized it was a tad too long to continue to add a long definition of the current LENS Miui Release. I will be posting anew.

SlimKat dlx testers needed

Hey guys, can one of you test SlimKat that I built for the dlx? I am 93% sure it'll boot up
Hopefully, if everything works out, I would be able to build it for you guys on a weekly basis
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23610159112654171
testing
Downloaded a few hours ago. Booted first try, had an issue with supersu but worked through that. It is pretty smooth so far. Messaging works. Have not tested camera or video or Bluetooth calling. Only issue so far is screen flashes s on/off when call connects but I think that is probably after market screen and not the build; although I do think it has something to do with the kernel. Let you know more as I go forward.
Great I'm using the cm m7 kernel for now. I'll experiment with other kernel repos.
Is there another one you recommend?
Hey,
I wanted to thank you guys for the ROM.
It's way cooler than all the blinkfeed one floating around
I know that you are looking for a bugs. I've been using it for three days now and I've noticed a couple of things :
First, that su wasn't working right off the bat. That's easy to fix though.
The other thing that bothered me was that the apps off the play store aren't downloading on the first attempt. They sort of fail with an error code a couple of times.
The recent apps panel that shows up on the right doesn't have the most recent app until you open it a second time or you wait a while.
And for some reason, the spacebar on the keyboard doesn't trigger 100% of the time. I don't know if that's just because of the way I type or the fact that I'm used to the HTC keyboard on this phone.
Other than that, I haven't noticed any glitches or reboots or any other random stuff.
Keep up the good work.

thanks so much man There's the thread in Q/A for support on this ROM now so we can talk there from now on

Looking for a lightweight/fast ROM!

Hello dear community!
First of all: This is not the usual "What is the best ROM" thread. Its something different:
I have tried to compare a lot of ROMs from the XDA-Forum, and there are many awesome ROMs here. Unfortunately, I have yet to finde one which suits my special needs. Those needs are actually pretty simple (I guess )
The ROM should be VERY lightweight, not any Bloatware on it and only background processes which are really really necessary should run.
I do NOT need any visual or style improvements. It can be a VERY simple ROM, I don't care for any animation, color-customization or awesome theme. Also, I do not need any neat features.
I don't care about the battery life of my phone, but the thing is, that it should run as fast as possible with this ROM - thats why no background processes, bloatware or awesome looks which might slow things down. Fast and simple.
THANK YOU in advance for any suggestions.
Kind regards
"best rom" threads are not allowed on xda. I could recommend one that you might find totally garbage so there is no point.
Your choice, your problem.
Beamed in by telepathy.
This is not the usual "Give me the best ROM" Thread. I am looking for something pretty specific I guess. Like I said in my first post here: I am looking for a VERY lightweight ROM, which does not include and additional Apps or Bloatware - just the simplest things: a Browser, Clock + Alarm, Camera, Dialing-App, Contacts-App, Messages App (and this is basically it).
Kind regards
Try a CM ROM with pico gapps.
I tried many roms from this place so I can say that the most speed is Archidroid - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859
Anyway, I use Crdroid v 2.1 with elite boeffla kernel and I did not install gapps. I prefer to install apps myself. Google play service take some ram but when i will install important for me apps i do not open this again. I use NovaLauncher on desktop and NowBrowser as browser. I have 478 mb used on desktop but I use many widgets, omniswitch, lmt but phone is speed as wind I use monochromacy style from developer settings.

I tried CM 14 (the latest Nightly), and it was quite nice! However, I wanted to try out new stuff, and I found out that ROMs can be quite a bit more faster - as I have seen in ArchiDroid. But there is that issue with the Boot-Loop which forced me to move away. Right now I am on Hyper Rom, and it seems to work quite nice, lets see if performs well or gets slow very fast.

I tried many roms from this place so I can say that the most speed is Archidroid - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859
Anyway, I use Crdroid v 2.1 with elite boeffla kernel and I did not install gapps. I prefer to install apps myself. Google play service take some ram but when i will install important for me apps i do not open this again. I use NovaLauncher on desktop and NowBrowser as browser. I have 478 mb used on desktop but I use many widgets, omniswitch, lmt but phone is speed as wind I use monochromacy style from developer settings.

I tried ArchiDroid for about a week. It was the fastest ROM so far, but unfortunately it gets stuck in a Boot Loop if I restart or Power Up the Phone. I always had to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache to get it working again (and booting up lasts more then 15 minutes in that case, since it has to check all apps).
I might try Crdoid. Right now I am on Hyper Rom however. Lets see how this performs. THANK YOU for the suggestions!
Guys, if you find any other Rom which might be very lightweight and fast (and possibly without any major Bugs like ArchiDroid in my case), it would be GREATLY appreciated! )
Kind regards
