MIUI beta 5 coming soon
If you’ve been messing around with rooting your phone and installing ROMs in the past couple months, there’s no doubt you’ve heard of MIUI. The incredibly popular ROM has taken the Android community by storm, making it’s way onto almost every popular device to come out in the last year. With beta 4 having only been out for a short time now, it’s a nice surprise to see the MIUI team’s new promo video for beta 5.
As you can see not only is the video compiled to look gorgeous, but the ROM doesn’t look half bad either. As John puts it, “it’s a pretty dramatic re-imagining of Android.” One you’ve got to try for yourself to really see how extensive it is. For more info on how to get MIUI on your device, check out MIUI Developer Forums, where you’ll find ports of the ROM for at least 8 devices, in 11 languages. For the original Chinese source, visit MIUI.com. Look for MIUI beta 5 to hit the web by December 31st. You can also check out John’s quick walkthrough of an older MIUI build on his EVO 4G.

I have been using the new miui 1.1.7 Evo final release and it is the best ROM I have ever used. This Rom had some serious issues with battery drainage on the EVO but the final release completely fixed that. I was getting about half a day on the old version but now I am getting more than a full day with regular usage and wifi/data on all the time. I always hated the drawer option on Android because not only do you lose track of all the things you have in there, you cant just delete apps easily when you dont want it anymore. MIUI gets rid of all of those issues. Apps you dont use/or want you just throw it in the trash can and its gone. You dont need to open up a folder management app or go into market to erase an app anymore. Much more logical I think. If you use folders (just like the ios folders) correctly, you will not have 13+ home screens but rather 5 like me. Everything about the interface is just more intuitive and easier to use, not to mention much much better looking. I think everyone should at least try it for a couple of weeks before making any judgements. I can never go back to ios (previous iphone user) but there are alot of functions that I miss...the MIUI takes the BEST OF BOTH world and combines it into the Android platform. How can you beat that?
