I for one don't care about miui themes and stuff. But miui does have actual awesome and very useful functions. For me the best thing is automatic customizable call recording. I have set it up so it records all numbers that are not in my contact list and specified a few that are, but I still want to have recorded, like; calls with my insurance company, this countries dreadrul taxes governor, car emergency central, bookkeeper and other business related things like calls with my suppliers etc.
I haven't seen this anywhere else yet, but for someone like me who has to deal with a lot of instances it's a core function I have come to depend on.
Also the firewall and blocklisting functions are very extensive in their functions.
I also love the flashlight shortcut from the lockscreen; just keep home button pressed down and it activates for a moment - keep it pressed and t activates permanently until power button is pressed. Love it, genius and very useful!
As you can see, most of what i like about miui are actual things that have to do with the core functionality of the device; calling.
And oh, the miui video and music player i really like too!
The one thing I truly hate is that there is no drawer. But this is all part of how the chinese love to imitate apple, as apple is an expensive product, thus automatically a status symbol for them. And yeah, asians and status things... Don't get me started -_-
