this has been debated millions of times and will continue to be. MIUI has never been nice to me. CM7 has always been my phones home, and i havent flashed anything to my phone in about 3 weeks, and i can tell you that its the most stable ive ever had my phone. nightly 181.
[Droid Incredible General] N-Forced:
Different people have different tastes, try em both out and see which one your friend likes more.
[Droid Incredible General] coolbry95:
I'll second CM I haven't flashed anything since I got it.
[Droid Incredible General] CC268:
thanks guys
[Droid Incredible General] Smokeey:
MIUI has more UI tweak options and themes. CM7 is more stable and has better ROM tweaks and such.
[Droid Incredible General] thisguy23:
Miui is great. Fast. Stable. And battery is the best I've ever had. My question is which is better miui or stock and why?

I've weighed some reasons but like both. Thoughts?
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Okay, both of them are very stable and mature ROM's.

However CM7 leads in the majority of the Incredible's development.

MIUI has used many parts from CM7 to make it the ROM it is now.

MIUI has it's own custom UI implemented that tends to run a little sluggish as well.

CM7 is quicker and more solid, however it is pretty bare UI-wise. There are tons of options to customize it though:

-Android kitchen (google it!)

-Widget locker

-Custom Launcher (Launcher Pro+ ftw)

-Custom Icons/Dock background (easy to do with LP+)

and loadddss more

MIUI is a nice package and still is superb on battery, stability and performance.
[Droid Incredible General] tm1618:
While MIUI does run sluggish with he stock launcher all you have to do is replace it with a custom launcher and its as smooth as anything else. Ill second the issue that I get great battery life even better so than I did on CM7. One big feature for me since I work night shift is MIUIs ability to use the do not disturb feature. I haven't find even a third party app that comes close to the simplicity of this feature. Just my 2 cents
[Droid Incredible General] Darkangel2002:
Miui has ran pretty good for me, but I am always changing roms
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
I don't find MIUI to be sluggish with the stock launcher, what in specific are you guys referring to that find it "slower" than CM7 / 3rd part launchers?
[Droid Incredible General] gio2005:
I typically end up jumping back and forth between MIUI and CM7, both run fast and are smooth. MIUI is based off CM7, so the performance should be similar.

Although MIUI is much more visually polished, it sometimes seems a bit gimmicky and a bit iph*ne ish. Both ROMs are great, I would say flash both and see, I still find myself jumping between these two ROMs quite often.
[Droid Incredible General] spence341:
IMO, the iPhone-ish comment is misplaced. I thought the same thing at first. There are enough themes out there that you can make your MIUI look like sense. I have been running MIUI since June. I get some frustrating FC's from time to time but it has not been bad enough to make me change.
[Droid Incredible General] michaelagraham:
I don't find it to be sluggish either. Every once in a while, after reading people gush about CM7, I'll go back and give it a try, but IMO, MIUI is by far the better ROM. I experience no force closes and/or bugs, the ROM is very fast, the battery life is awesome, the theming is great and simple (love Phazed Orange), updates are regular and a no-brainer to apply, and I love the MIUI launcher. The only thing that the ROM lacks that I would like is the ability to use scrolling widgets.
[Droid Incredible General] Kevin3328:
When I had my incredible it was cm7 all day everyday... the rom is quick... customization need I say more than T-Mobile theme chooser pre installed.. there are themes on the market from team carbon that actually will theme essentially everything on your phone to one color.. for example I used the blood red and poison green themes. They theme the whole interface of the phone.. most thorough themes I have ever used by a longshot.. however u will eventually find what u like best.. the great thing about the incredible is there r tons of roms to choose from.. have fun!!
[Droid Incredible General] mben1287:
In my experience MIUI eats more battery life. Also I just feel that CM7 was more user friendly in my experience certain things were hard to find and took getting used to in MIUI in my opinion
[Droid Incredible General] thisisepic0727:
Chiming in a little late, but I'm all about CM7 right now. Very fast and stable (from my experience).

For me, CM7 has great battery life, gives me the stock Android experience I want and generally offers a good balance of performance and features while remaining stable.

(Just my 2 cents).

Nothing against Miui, in fact I'll give it another shot down the road and see if it sticks.
[Droid Incredible General] GRZLA:
MIUI uses cm7's kernels so you are getting the same battery life. As for miui being sluggish? That is just silly.

MIUI's built in theme manager lets you browse themes from the app itself and gives you the option to mix and match your themes to make them look just how you want.
[Droid Incredible General] bellj949:
I have used both and prefer CM. However I wanted to try some others so I started looking back at some of the Sense based ROMs. I have been running Nils Business GingerSense 3.5 for about a week and like the look of it, but so miss all the customizing I could do with CM. Always looking for something better though...
[Droid Incredible General] Wormtown:
Cm7 for me. I am philosophically opposed to MIUI's taking from open source and releasing closed source. Even if it's legal I find it distasteful.
[Droid Incredible General] InTheCreek:
I've seen both positive and negative comments on battery life.

Can anyone confirm if there is a considerable difference between the two in this regard?
[Droid Incredible General] GRZLA:
They use the same kernel. Battery life is all dependant on what you have syncing and how much you use your phone. I get a full day on stock battery with MIUI.
[Droid Incredible General] i8qbert:
There has been so much discussion on battery life but yeah it just comes down what you do. The screen is what kills your battery the quickest...so it really comes down to use. I have used both and they are the same. I have "unscientifically" confirmed this and believe it. There are some kernels that improve it slightly and give more control over some things, some swear by them, but everybodies phone is set up differently. If battery life is a big concern then opt for the extended battery. there is one that fits with out needing a new cover. My .02.
[Droid Incredible General] spence341:
The only reason I flash chads is the quick charge. I do not like how long it takes to charge with the cm7 kernel. Even if the cm7 kernel gave me an additional hour on a charge (not saying it does), I would prefer to have it recharge on half the time with chads.
[Droid Incredible General] riko540:
I've only played with CM7 so I won't comment on which is better. But I will let you know if you go with CM7 you'll need to changed the default backlight setting because the defaults are horrible and will cause the battery to be drained completely within 10 hours.

The settings I am currently using I found while doing a search on this site. My battery life currently lasts between 24 and 36 hours with moderate use. I would also stick to the nightly builds.
[Droid Incredible General] nitzua:
just flashed miui again friday to see where things are with it. it was still sluggish transitioning between screens and opening others. I like the themes and the immense amount of customization options since I've been a hardcore windows modder for years, but the lag made my inc feel like it was an extra two years old. I was back to cm7 within two hours.

[HTC EVO 3D] lawnguy:
Ok so while trying to update to different .prl's, i figured out that epst does not play well with my 16gb class 10 Transcend card or my 8gb class 4 Kingston card. EPST will not even get past first page, goes to black blank screen then fc's. However, when I load the prl's on a 1 gb oem Sandisk works perfect? Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] lawnguy:
No ones got an idea or help?
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
Have you tried using the phone to format your faster SD cards and then reloading the data on to the card?
[HTC EVO 3D] THEGAMEPLAY94:
Just figured it out..... I had the same problem until my card got wiped, then it loaded instantly. But when I added about 3gb of music it slowed. I believe the more I have on there the more it dislikes me lol
[HTC EVO 3D] lawnguy:
I think your right. I think it must read everyhting on the card before it loads. I dont keep any music but I have a ton of wallpapers.
[HTC EVO 3D] lawnguy:
Just in case anyone wants to know, the problem with epst and my card ended up being the old ext3 partition from my og evo. Doesn't like ext3 appearantly.
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
Anyone else having this same issue:

When I pause a movie on another device (laptop, desktop, Blu-ray player) and then resume it on my phone, the movie does not resume in the same spot where I left off.

However, if I am watching on my phone, pause it, then resume on one of the other devices, it picks up at the right spot.

I called customer service and the terribly helpful lady told me that ". . . maybe my router was worn out" :eek: Seriously, where do they find these people?
[Epic 4G General] Xhyperion:
Netflix has auto resume from last point. You need to pause the movie first then load up netflix from your other source. A cold start
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
Yes, that is what I was referring to, but for some reason, the phone software is not auto-resuming where the last device left off.

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

I just got off the phone with Netflix who informed me that the current version of the Android software DOES NOT have the functionality to resume a movie where you paused it on another device and that it will be implemented in a future release.

If this is true, I am awfully surprised a whole bunch of you did not report experiencing this issue.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Well, she's right, ya know. Have you checked your router fluids yet? And don't refill it with b when you need n, okay? That'll really hurt it.

Sorry I can't help with Netflix issue; I haven't noticed that on mine but I don't doubt it's happening. Netflix between different devices can be wonky at times.
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
LOL. Turns out I had a left-handed router.

See update above, per Netflix our application does not have this functionality . . YET.
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Not to confuse the issue, past the explanation of the "excellent" netflix CS agent, but my netflix app does not suffer from this problem. And I use this functionality 10+ times a day. It resumes from my xbox and ps3 to my phone perfectly fine, and always has.
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
Well, that does confuse the issue . . . and kinda blow - for me. This just proves that NOBODY at Netflix knows what the F they are talking about.
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Then, I wonder what it is then. Is it only movies or tv shows also? What current build and setup? How far off does it usually start? How long between starting on phone after shutting off on other device? Do you completely back out of show before starting it on the phone?
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I tried to get the downgrade on my phone. I got to the part where I have to install the .dll and it won't let me. Just to be clear that is just on the computer for now correct? Don't flame me for this question. I have rooted and have used custom roms before just never have had to downgrade.

On another note the V6.tot file will that give the devs a chance to root V6?

Sent from my LG 4G
[LG Revolution] elreydotcom:
I haven't tried to downgrade on a home PC so I don't have any experience on how that is supposed to work..

But the v6.tot is going to be most useful for the latest radio updates, as far as I can tell

Found an iconic home, then revolted
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
Don't think it will help root.... but that's not as big as an issue as radio updates. You can always downgrade so getting radio is most likely a higher priority
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
Any help on this issue of not being able to install the .DLL file?
[LG Revolution] deftonesmw:
I just did this last night to a friend's revo. Give a little more info on the pc, specifically the operating system. I was on win7 x64. I followed This thread and everything worked. Two things though. One, the usb drivers i used were LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.1.1.exe straight from lg. Two, to install VS910.dll put it in "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Models\" and then right click it and install it.

I suspect something went wrong when you installed the components and genericmodels plugins as the dll will not install unless these are properly installed first.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I'm on the same. Windows 7 x64. I put it in the models folder and its saying use what service open the file. Tonight after work I will start from the beginning and see where its at.

Edit: The drivers to install properly said to reboot. Didn't do that as the instructions didn't say to reboot. Maybe I will try that before anything else.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
I was going to attempt stock upgrade however running into same issues. Also version check is 1.2 lab? In the zip is cdmaworkshop? Any idea?

This is my first 4g phone.

I am not sure the 4g is working properly. Need some input.

I have the 4g turned on. This phone seems to flip flop between 3g and 4g connection. It does not seem to hold a steady 4g connection and seems to often be downloading on 3g.

Did I get a dud? Should I try and have it swapped out?

Annoying to be paying a premium for 4g service when more than half the time I am getting 3g download speeds.

If it matters, I live in Las Vegas
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amwworks:
I'm having the same problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
I live in Vegas, too. If you're trying from inside a house, you'll be lucky to hold a 4G signal. While they've got the valley pretty well covered, it's still not great. Some towers have greater coverage than others. I live in NW and have no 4G until about a half mile from my home.

The only place I know to have solid 4G is on the Strip/Convention Center area. I use it to stream during my shift.

....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] craigbailey1986:
Just so you know : you are not paying for 4g. It's a premium data charge, which is charged to all subscribers with or without 4g phones. Just thought you should know what your paying for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gotmilk702:
ive noticed the 4g radio is a little finnicky sometimes, however haven't noticed anything coverage related. Using EVO view right now...this thing has a much better 4g antenna. My embedded laptop gets the best though. I'm in Vegas too...and work for clearwire.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Full bar 4G here but I am not in Vegas. It should sleep when not in use but when its switching between 3G and 4G alot, it eats battery. Sprint 4G is notorious for not being great indoors
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azmtbiker:
Update

Well, after another day without the device hooking up to 4g for crap, I headed down to the sprint store.

Of course at the store, 4g is working. I tell the lady working there what is going on and she seems incredulous of my claim as the 4g currently seems to work.

The lady takes the phone, plugs it in to a cable. After 3 minutes she hands it back to be me and says, "it is now aligned with the towers." I said, so it should work. She says yes. Is this really a real thing??

I will post tomorrow with results of another days use.

Dunno if it is a hardware or software issue but has definitely not been working as it should. Wont even hook up to 4g in the car let alone in a building.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
I also live in las Vegas, NW in fact and my GPS lock on is timeless :D, fast as heck, but for some reason at the Strip, is slow(almost never with the Epic4G) but a few seconds it takes with the ET4G.

The 3G speed varies on what area you're at sadly, sometimes for some reason when im in the parking lot of Paris, I have no connection, and even my phonecalls drop, but the moment i exit, baam! it works, 3G speed is up and down, recenty after updating my Profile and PRL, it has been snappy some what amazinly, and 4G hit and Miss in some areas.

Is fast on my own opinion anyway :), for 4G i only get one bar at this very moment, but is still fast.

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------

Exactly lol, but at home NW i also get it too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azmtbiker:
Other thing I notice is when it switches from 4g to 3g, the 4g will not turn back on unless it is manually switched on and off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
Since it's your first experience with WiMAX, if you're expecting to drive around and keep 4G connected, it ain't gonna happen. Pretty much you have to be stationary and in good coverage area. And take the coverage maps with a grain of salt.

....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
hmm.. I haven't tried this myself..Only tried 4G and it stayed there no change, I'll do this when im at home, since im at work at the moment.

Though if you can replicate this problem, do it for the Sprint Rep and see if they can exchange it for ya.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kunji:
this is disappointing to say the least...well many of us have given sprint a fair try...i only wonder how do some ever get use to this...i know for a fact this is not the norm for all carriers while i guess some really do get good coverage with sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
Mine does the same exact thing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azmtbiker:

hey guys i cant seem to get clockworkmod recovery to work so that i can install a custom rom or kernal. I have a optimus V that i rooted with the gingerbreak.apk and then installed rom manager and installed clockworkmod threw it for the optimus V. now when i got to boot into recovery the LG logo shows and then the screen just goes black.

is there any easy way to fix this, am i doing something wrong?

thanks guys :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lotrfreak16:
No, you did it right, you just have an S Screen. Some ROMs and recoveries, including CWM don't show on the screen because there is an update video driving chip in your device, as it is in mine. A quick way to see that you did everything right (just not for your device) is to download "android screencast" (can't post links, but you can google, top result), enable usb debugging on your device, keep it plugged in, and reboot into the recovery. You'll be able to see the screen's output on the computer, but not on the phone. Almost made me die of laughter when I first saw it. You can use ADB to flash Xionia recovery, or maybe a quick fix is to use CWM to flash Xionia AnyKernel 14 (says it fixes the S Screen issue for ROMs, might for recovery). I want to post links to stuff directly, but can't yet cause I'm new. If you have any questions, PM me or just post back.

When I was looking at the Android news, I found this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmWR3vUq7Ww

This demonstated two unpatched security holes in Android. The second one, a privilege escalation vulnerabilitiy targeting the Linux kernel, got me very intrested: If we could persuade the team to open source this exploit, we could gain a very useful program that can shell root ANY Android device, meaning that we could root B70 tablets with the new SPK (like mine). This is something worth looking in to, and if it's realased to us, we could gain a very potent resource that will help us with rooting in general.
