    Speed difference between MIUI and stock ICS on Nexus S

    I already rolled back to stock ICS :( But thanks for the tip, wish I knew it before... but when I have time again I will definitely try it.

    Speed difference between MIUI and stock ICS on Nexus S

    Ok, so I tried MIUI and this is what I noticed (might be helpful for someone): Generally the system is at least equally fast as stock ICS in my opinion... starting apps, switching between apps, movement through the system, memory usage, that's all pretty much the same. In some cases MIUI was...

    Speed difference between MIUI and stock ICS on Nexus S

    I'm most probably going to give it a shot... but I was just curious what should I expect. And maybe biased is what I want ;) I watched and read some latest MIUI ICS reviews for Nexus S and most of them used expressions like "blazeingly fast" etc, but in my opinion the reality is often different...

    Speed difference between MIUI and stock ICS on Nexus S

    I'm thinking about trying MIUI. I have already had MIUI on my Nexus S some time ago but it was the Gingerbread version. And as far as I remember it was slightly slower, mainly the memory consumption was worse than in stock GB. Right now I'm running stock ICS and although I really like it and I...

    extreme download traffic

    I find using some root explorer much easier, in my case ES File Explorer did the job very well. Just install it using Android Market, then in the settings enable root access and rw mounting of system partition. Then go to /system folder (I had to change the home directory to /) then open...

    extreme download traffic

    I'm sorry, I didn't see that, I scrolled directly to the bottom of the thread assuming that the solution would be there :) Thank you.

    extreme download traffic

    So the clean reinstall of the rom is the only solution? I've never done this before, if I use the MIUI Backup tool, will I get the phone to the precise state where it was before wipe? Btw. although my carrier (T-Mobile CZ) is well known for its absurd high prices, one thing is good about it -...

    extreme download traffic

    Exactly the same problem! Today even 350MB! According to the Monitor, the app responsible for this huge download traffic is the Download Manager. But I couldn't find what is being downloaded or where. Luckily for me, my carrier for some reason didn't count this data, I checked the status on its...

    How to disable convertins long sms to mms

    Hi, MIUI is automatically converting long text messages to mms. I don't like it because I have free sms to some people (I'm used to writing very long messages, 1000+ letters) but not mms. They're not free. And also I'm not sure whether multimedia messages are properly delivered to people outside...

    Xiaomi Miliao (mChat) discussion and support

    I used adb (remount, shell) instead, but thanks for showing me the right direction :)

    Xiaomi Miliao (mChat) discussion and support

    Miliao is an official part of MIUI ROM since 1.7.22 and it's permanently running in the background and eating my RAM. Can I disable it? I don't want to use it, I still think that Google Talk is much better (even than WhatsApp).

    MIUI historical background..?

    Yeah, I've read the article about MIUI phone too. The question is whether they started with an idea for a phone or with an idea for an iPhone-like ROM, which finally resulted into this phone. What was behind back then :)

    MIUI historical background..?

    I could only create a more or less blank page so I'm not the right guy to do this :) I was hoping that I would get some information, not share :)

    MIUI historical background..?

    Well, I don't ask the same questions about HTC because I don't find it that interesting. It's "just" a big phone manufacturer which produces phones and earns money. Besides, it's history is quite well document on the Wikipedia. On the other hand, I am very interested in history and original...

    MIUI historical background..?

    I flashed MIUI few days ago and I'm pretty excited about it. I tried to find some information about how it started but I failed. There's no about page, nothing on Wikipedia.. at least not in English. It's really weird, because when you look at it and compare to other roms, this doesn't look like...
