CM7 for some reason gives bad battery life, MIUI is better.

Meh, only having super user issue ...

Hmm for some reason just not so keen on MIUI built.

Yeah, flashed like few months back. weekend gave me issue. been flashing the whole week. CM7 is just lacking something i need and some how it looks iphone-ish. still prefer something close to stock rom

your not keen on MIUI build is just because it looks very iphonish??

there's tonnes of themes you can play around with MIUI... im currently on Ice Cream MIUI themes which does looks awesome.. .

it looks something similar to this:




but i change the icon pack la/

Using golauncher with miui.
Don't like the stock launcher use others lor.

i wonder how the Apps menu works for GoLauncher in MIUI which doesn't have this option..

Once golauncher is used, MIUI homescreen and app drawer won't be available, obviously. So whatever menus won't be in there.

And what 'apps menu'?

of course i understand that the whole Home screen will be replaced. What i mean is the application list. You know, default MIUI does not comes with App menu button that access all installed apps.

you mean the app drawer? The thing that lists all your apps.
That one is of course available, its built into the launcher.
MIUI launcher has disabled/removed it, but its not system controlled so any other replacement launcher will have it.

Not sure if its based on CM7, but somehow, the battery life is much better on MIUI.
Maybe its better system management. I have no idea.

But its not like 10% or 20% difference, the difference is around 70% to 80% extra battery life.

I was on CM7 for a long time, but the battery life can drop 50-60% in a few hours. It then became better until it drops 4-5% an hour.
MIUI can easily last a whole day of moderate usage.

Interesting. I never ventured into MIUI. Last I checked, my CM7 can't last even 4 hours on full 3G. lol

TW is ok, with 3G video call, HD video recording/playback, toggle control on notification bars. Just launcher sucks and Accuweather with backdoor.

Tested!!
Really cool...

I was using ADW launcher, but after I install TSF Shell,
do I need to uninstall ADW launcher?
Coz, I can switch them with just one click.
Are they going to hang or crash?

U can keep both... Do remembeer to have this HomeSwitcher installed. With this, u can switch over to another launcher anytime. Of course, u need to set the default launcher upon pressing the home button la.

Running 2 launchers at a time will keep them in memory.
Uninstall ADW using titanium, and set the other as default.

True but is it ok to uninstall the already include by default in the roms?

yup fine.. but make sure u got another launcher la.. if both u uninstall.. mati la.. err dunno la what happen.. never try that yet.. haha..

but for me, let say if stock rom.. im usually use Titanium Backup to freeze the stock launcher instead of uninstall it..

if launcher missing, you can salvage it by going into recovery mode and flash over the rom again.

as long as non-wipe, a launcher will be installed and u can be up and running again.
