There's no need to start a pissing match, clearly he is set in his ways, that doesn't mean others may find it to be a different experience on their device. The last thing I want to see is people pointing subjective fingers at one another. That being said, let's keep it on topic and use some constructive criticism on where, why, and what was laggy. The Galaxy Nexus beta has only been open for about 2 months, and it's a closed source project. There's only so much I'm able to help out on for that reason.

The only places I've noticed blue accents is google account setup and the ICS google search app, which will be ultimately turned into a finder like they had done with previous versions. I wouldn't say that is half, but never the less, to each his/her own.

While opinions and suggestions are welcome, taking stabs at the MIUI team because you were called a troll should be left at the door.

Best,

MIKS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xetas:
Much thanks for putting this together. I've never had a good miui experience on my other phones until your release for the gnex. Smooth, stable and no fc's for me. Most importantly, bluetooth works well (I was a die hard aokp fan until trying to use blue tooth.) once again, thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Delvien:
Actually, there is lag on the miui builds. Scrolling in apps specifically. Just because they say something you don't agree with doesn't make them a troll.

If I had the time, I would record AOKP and MIUI and show you the lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
People who cry about it being so bad compared to the GB builds are the same people that didn't run the GB builds from the beginning. They were JUST AS BAD. Things like this take time, either deal with it or don't. Makes no difference to anyone else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimaze:
The only time I notice ICS blue is on the keyboard. Your OCD is apparently much worse than mine. Lag can be eliminated with a few simple tweaks discussed in previous posts. I am not sure what "development so far behind ASOP builds" refers to. ROM control panel? Weather in the status bar? CM9 music player? Not everyone wants/needs all of the stuff found in aokp or CM9. In fact, everyone using MIUI is probably looking for something *different* than AOSP builds.

This MIUI has been solid for me. No FCs, random reboots, or other weirdness. That is my definition of a daily driver. Your definition is obviously different. There is no such thing as a perfect rom. It's a matter of finding one that is enjoyable to use despite its deficits & idiosyncrasies, and *that* is entirely subjective. Anyhoo, thanks for visiting the thread & the feedback. See ya in the forums.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] X3FBrian:
Miui is my daily as well, love it. Any idea when we're going to get some soft key mods?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jason1332:
2.6.8 today?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
What he said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
I don't understand why this thread is do far down. This is the best miui rom out. Waiting for the new update hopefully;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
because miui is nearly a perfect rom, no complaint, so no one post bugs or crash report here haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Lol true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchilpil:
I agree, I don't have any issues with this one unlike the others
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddgarcia05:
How do I keep it from constantly asking me to download apps over wifi instead of mobile data? I've tried searching in the play store setting menus but found nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jozanich:
Is there a working version of the toolkit for this? Need to change up my navbar!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Go to the download app hit settings and change the mb limit to 10mb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddgarcia05:
Thanks. I kept looking for the "download app" section within the play store app and phone settings when in fact its an app named "Downloads" on the homescreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Lol. I'm glad u found it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Silaz5210:
I really wish this would get updated. I have found MiuiAndroid to be the best iteration of Miui for my needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axi0m:
Is this still getting updated?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
^^ For what it's worth, mine was already off. That's the first thing I do when I flash MIUI but maybe that coupled with clearing data afterwards will do the trick. I'll let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maybeiknowstuff:
Themes are not fully good to go yet for higher resolution devices, some of the theming works, like icons, and other minor things. Messaging, dialer, status bar, are all kind of broken still, but good news, there is a new theme manager releasing this week. Perhaps this will give us some headway concerning this.

Tethering is broken for me too, which sucks because I must have it on a day to day basis. I'm putting this on the top of my list.

Different translation team, difference in the inclusion of certain applications, also liberties taken in bootscreen, framework, and other resources.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
I kept an eye on it for you today. I have 8 hrs so far with 2 1/2 screen on, half brightness, white-based theme and very heavy use (messing with themes, downloading files, browsing xda, all on 4g) and I'm about to go charge now. I'm running Franco's nightly 130 stock GPU, no uv/oc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimaze:
I tried two other MIUI versions and bailed out because of abysmal battery life. I'll give this one a go and report back. Maybe the 3rd time is the charm :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:
would anyone be kind enough and make a video of this rom? I wanna see how smooth it is the MIUI.us rom I tried was horrible. Thanks guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
it's funny how people say miui.us is horrible, yet, i still havent encounter those problems.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
Thank you!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:
At least for me it was slow and the 1X/3G BUG made me switch within minutes...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
lol sooo... I was trying to turn off 4g as I do at times in an effort to reserve battery when I need to and went into Toggles > Network Type. Automatic was the only option and was off. I selected it for whatever reason and now I'm stuck in 3G and can't remove the Automatic selection... Any ideas or do I have to wipe and reflash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimaze:
I messed with that setting but I didn't get stuck in 3G. Does it persist after reboot? If so, I would reflash the rom without wiping anything. That may be all you need. If you still can't get 4G, you'll have to do the whole gamut.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimaze:
I agree, the default setup is somewhat laggy. But you can significantly improve it by doing this:

1. On any home screen, tap menu - launcher settings- transition effects- select classic (no overshoot)

2. Under main settings- dev options- force GPU rendering

3. Replace default kernel with lean kernel or franco and overclock one step above 1200/1228, change to ondemand or interactive governor & sio scheduler
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
^^ +1 This is basically my setup and I experience very, very ocassional lag. Using CPU Spy I realized I don't really use 1344 so I just run it at 1228 ondemand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:
I admit this improves a little bit from what I am seeing the launcher seems to be slow? correct me if i am wrong anyway anyone got fix for the 1X/3G showing up as 4G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
Did a complete wipe and clean flash. Now I have that stupid ass Download problem where it downloads thousands of Dictionary downloads and drained my battery from 58% to 8 in an hour :( Even after clearing data as suggested in other threads. Is there anything else I could try? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimaze:
Yeah, the MIUI launcher isn't the leanest launcher. Static wallpaper helps decrease lag. Force GPU rendering also helps, but if you use the built-in document viewer for excel spreadsheets, the viewer app may crash. This happens on non-MIUI roms too. If this affects you, just disable Force GPU rendering before opening the spreadsheet, then re-enable when you're done with it.

The 3G/1x icon shows until you use a 4G data connection, then changes to a 4G icon. It is a relatively trivial issue and probably won't be a high priority item on the bug list.

I am playing with some build.prop edits, maybe I can tweak this build a little more. Next on the list will be init.d scripts

Those dictionaries will always try to download after you flash. The RIL needs a lot of work. I have noticed a lot of variability in cell network and wifi connection quality, even in areas where I should have a strong connection. Were you connected to a strong network signal when you reflashed? I always flash in a strong wifi area (either at home or at work), primarily to get up & running faster. But I suspect your phone struggled to maintain a connection while trying to download the dictionaries. Once those dictionaries are finished, you can safely delete all of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:
I did speedtest with the speedtest app and LTE seemed to be ON and still the 1x/3g icon would show my result was about 30 megs down 17 up and it still showed there. I will still wait for a better version I restored to AOSP with nandroid. Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maybeiknowstuff:
I've been trying to find a flag for build.prop to automatically turn on GPU acceleration by default, until Xiaomi get's their **** together.

I tried debug.sf.hw=1 and video.accerlerate.hw=1, both don't have any effect.

It's showing 4G for me, but I do get 1X/3G icon when it needs to scale to a CDMA network. 2 weeks ago if it was on 3G, it would simply show "3G" I think the dudes over in China are doing some rehauling of some framework resources.

I got Camcorder and Airplane mode fixed. I'm trying to find a wifi tether fix, If I can get that to work I'll put out a hotfix for you guys later tonight.

Also if anyone needs a kernel recommendation, LeanKernel is flying like a boss for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e_rl:
Thanks for the GPU tip! It seriously makes a world of difference in the smoothness of animations.

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

Also, if anyone's battery is draining pretty fast, delete the MIUI Dictionary Downloader in System / Apps, it helps quite a bit!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
Thanks! I had a great 4g signal when I flashed but who knows. Maybe my phone was sick of me. As a workaround until the next miui update, I just hit that option in the bottom of the downloads screen that restricts downloads unless on wifi. When I need to download something I just switch it, let it download and switch back. So far I haven't seen anymore dictionary entries. :)

I also added the following lines to my build.prop. They came from various roms that I've put on my phone. I probably should have benchmarked before & after the changes, but I'm too lazy. I am not sure they have helped, but they haven't broken anything either.

Thumbnails not showing up

Just wondering if anyone else is having issues in the gallery where some of the pictures says that the thumbnails are not available. But the pictures are still view able with USB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
Yes I still have that problem. It blows. Gallery FC's on me a lot too, it acts like it's overloaded or working too hard or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Prince_Basil:
How do you set the kernel on sio? I'm using Franco Kernel app and downloaded the latest nightly from leankernel and I can't find a spot where it says that. Should I just use setcpu instead?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimaze:
sio the default scheduler for franco #133. sio may be default for leankernel too, I am not sure. You can use SetCPU or No Frills CPU to change schedulers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maybeiknowstuff:
thanks for the info, i'll be fooling around with build.prop this week trying to optomize.

Newest build is up now, i've addressed many of the issues from last week.

Camcorder is fixed

Wi-Fi tether is fixed

Airplane mode is fixed

Dictionary download bug is fixed (now battery life is less sucky)

If there's something broke, you know the drill.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
How is the speed shaping up on the new builds?

Asus TF101 ICS 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
does theme working? how about wifi signal? the other miui is having a wifi signal issue for the pass 3 version and still not fixing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maybeiknowstuff:
Everything except for SMS/Dialer. Looks like we're stuck waiting on this one.

I haven't noticed any strange issues regarding my signal. Even though both galaxy nexi (sp?) are basically the same phone except in a few areas. Wi-Fi being one of these, is located on something called a murata module in the GSM version whereas it's a standalone chip on the LTE board. You have to tweak you broadcom wifi settings to reflect these preferences.

I get a clean and quick handoff from 4G to WiFi and back to 4G, no strange signal issues noticed. Let me know if you're seeing the same symptoms though.

I've been a snappy camper with this build. I'm not sure if it's a placebo, but the entire system feels a bit quicker. (Using LeanKernel atm) The launcher is quick for me, but I have 3 launcher screens with everything in folders, so it could have an affect on it.

This build easily trumps my own build from last week, I'm not sure if that's a good thing. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimaze:
Just flashed the latest build, running great so far. I am using franco nightly #133 this time, since my phone seems to prefer franco kernel over everything else. Another trick to improve UI speed: main settings - dev options - change window & transition animation scale to "off"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ajj915:
I can honestly say this build is the best so far. Wifi was crap on the other build and now it works great....now if we can get gps to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimaze:
I've had no GPS problems in any of the builds. Go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630

Scroll down past the US map and click ""XDA members click here"

Download the gps.config specific for your location

On your phone, go to /etc and backup your original gps.config, then copy the one you downloaded to the same directory

Reboot

Open maps and see if GPS locks faster. If it does, go back to the gps.config thread and thank AngelDeath for his efforts :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
GPS works for me out of the box. Locked on within seconds just like any other rom.

Been setting it up all morning with an hour of Dark Legends and my battery is dead. 2 hours screen on time... an hour of that was Dark Legends. I still have 10% left.

Calls sound good; been juggling several calls all morning. SMS/MMS is working well. Camera is fine. Gallery is good.

I love the built in MIUI version of the ICS Task Manager. Gallery looks great. Music is awesome. Dialer is fantastic.

I wish it had some more options such as virtual button placement being how they are all jumbled up from stock. But overall it looks great.

I hate the stock MIUI launcher (preference) but it runs pretty well. No noticeable slow-downs. I'm tempted to run Go-Launcher with a MIUI theme... but we'll see.

I'm going to run this MIUI for a while before flashing a custom kernel to see if it makes any difference. Seems good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breezer23:
Does this still have the dual calanders?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maybeiknowstuff:
Haha no, that's since been taken care of. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
bug report: all my message notification show random letters.

edited: fixed by reboot haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spaniard85:
Awesome, can't wait to try out the new version. Had a big issue with constant phone FC's when in airplane mode in the last version. Downloading now and will give this one a whirl.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robstunner:
Ok, am I completely missing something here? How do you create and send a text message? I select the person, but the "check mark" button doesn't do anything, and the back arrow exists out of the message completely. even if i make a message first and then try to add a recipient, it has the same issue as above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
You should have a cancel and done button are the bottom that you hit once you're done checking contacts. If you don't I'd reboot, then wipe and reflash if its not working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robstunner:
No, after i picked someone it would remove that entire bar at the bottom and list a second contact. I deleted that second contact that pops up (fortunately I dont need that number anyway) and the messaging app works normally.

However, when you get a text, does it say the name and avatar of the person you texted you? Mine shows just the number, and a "?" avatar. When I tap the avatar, it shows all of that persons sync'ed info tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maybeiknowstuff:
Haha, I tried recreating this last night and it was frustrating me.

This should be a pretty straight forward process, either start typing the contact you know you want to text, or if you want to add multiple contacts you should be able to select multiple contacts then click "done" in the bottom left hand corner.

My info is synced, and I don't see anything that lists "?" for an avatar, maybe if you took some screens I could point you in the right direction?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robstunner:
Its a person that has sync with haxsync and Google so it should display his name and picture. However all I get is the number and blank avatar. If I initiate first text then his name pops up. In this case he texted me. If I tap on the blank avatar next to the number it comes up with his name and contact info. Weird. Full wipe, cache, dalvik and data. Didn't restore anything from TB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maurogg84:
I really liked this ROM, but I have some issues with it. First, with other ROMs I get a constant 4g connection in my house, with this one it kept dropping to 3g a lot. GPS location didn't work, I was only able to get a location with Google location, which it's not accurate. Yes I had GPS on. I really liked the looks and the style of the home launcher, I wished it had some gesture features, like swipe down to show notifications, or double tap for settings, also the search soft key in the navigation bar. Maybe I'm asking for too much, I hope it's taken as constructive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robstunner:
My GPS locks on fine and I have no problem with 4g. It seems that it might be dropping 4g for 3g when not in use. When I did speed test I got 4g speeds, which were just as fast as prior to MIUI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
GPS locks fine. No issues texting. Been on wifi all day at the house. Had a 3 hour phone call and all seems well.

I miss some of the custom options for the status and nav bars of the AOSP variety but overall its cool. I swapped over to Go Launcher as it just feels right with MIUI. The launcher sometimes lags between home screens but scrollable widgets are smooth.

I'll give it a good test tomorrow while at work and we'll see how it fairs under normal conditions with regards to battery.

Overall its a very nice build with no issues that I've encountered under normal use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwho:
It worked great, but my market (play) was showing apps I had previously purchased as being not purchased. So I am flashing back to see if it was miui or just a play issue...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maybeiknowstuff:
This is probably due to haxsync, all my photos are syncing correctly. I think there is a web based facebook to google contacts sync somewhere on the web that will do this for you.

Yeah using FrancoKernel it has been running like a dream, It's giving me a full day of battery life with moderate use.

Try clearing your Google Play app cache and data under app settings.

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robstunner:
Its no just my photos. Even the name doesn't pop up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spaniard85:
I was having this same issue, and you recommendation took care of it. Thanks! I'm getting Gallery FC's though. Have to use Root Explorer to change wallpapers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
Running great so far. LOVE this rom. Tethering works great again.

Found this if anyone else was raging about the nav buttons: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1603320

Can't wait until themes are fully functional :)

Oh and because of MIUI being very very white right now (since we can't theme much), Voodoo's color app makes the white's very very pretty :) I'm running Franco's r135 with it and it really makes them pop. I have my brightness down because of it.

EDIT: Still have Gallery FC's
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maybeiknowstuff:
Yes I've noticed this too, really big pain in the butt. It looks like it breaks in album view mode. Looking through sets of pictures and individuals seems to work fine, I'm unsure if I'll be able to find a fix for it soon because I'll be traveling for the next 5 days without any convenient laptop access. This week's rom should still come out in time (but don't fret if it doesn't). I'll be home on Monday, and can continue to give support then. If you can find a temporary Gallary alternative (AOSP gallary) as a temp to hold you over, that would be your best alternative at the moment.

While this hasn't been running the best for me, even on Lean Kernel, I hate drawer launchers so I am sticking with MIUI. However, does anybody know where I can get a Galaxy Nexus resolution pure ICS theme? I can't find one in the themes section :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjskalet:
Try the miui website.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwho:
It isn't that I am getting a slow GPS lock, gps test indicates miui isn't seeing my gps hardware at all, no satellites' signals are shown what so ever.

Also, I tried your link, the zips all gave me errors, I tried northeast and just the north america file, both fail.

Odd.
