I am on JT's VGB and I was thinking about trying MIUI 1.85. Can I just flash this over my current rom or will I have to Odin?
Hmm that's MTD yes? I think that it shouldn't be an issue, but you'd need to ask someone else.
Maybe there's a simpler way, but when I go back to CM7 or MIUI I go through the full procedure of Odin'ing back to stock and building back up to CM7 via its instructions. I know for a fact going from CM7 to MIUI is smooth. I REALLY like MIUI and with the latest Glitch kernels it is fast too. I'd still be on it, but I really missed my HD camcorder and the LED flashlight and few other silly things.
I am a big fan of MIUI - good stuff. Once you organize your apps (I recommend using the built in folders) it ceases to be iPhone-like - try a few of the themes and you have a really cool looking UI.
I think if they ever get our camcorders working and get things really stable I'd switch back.
PROS
• Real purdy - great themes/customization
• Standard browser is basically the Miren browser which I prefer
• Terrific built in backup/restore
• Nice UI for all the settings/toggles
• The MIUI lockscreen has also been a favorite of mine since ComRom
• I had some nice undervolting going on, but overall battery life was very good
CONS
• Can feel a bit iPhoney till you customize
• No App Drawer is very odd, but is easily "solved" by using the folders.
• Basically it's a real nice launcher, nice camera app, nice lockscreen and browser and you can get most of these on other ROMS (not certain if someone has a MIUI launcher that's usable)
