Don't you think it would be better to fix real problems on your birthday instead of making useless new functions to a desktop no one uses?
Here are a few major bugs I'm warring you for weeks now:
- Settings -> About phone -> Status -> Crash
- Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network operators -> Crash

How do you know it's not fixed in this update? The list of bug fixes doesn't come out until Friday.

Also, lots of people use the default MIUI desktop. Myself included.

Also, never lose sight of the fact that the team behind MIUI don't owe you a single thing.

good for you, I don't because it looks like an iPhone and is very limited in functionality as an iPhone as well (everything is on home-screens)... try go launcher, it even has gestures

I'm not the only one who was complaining and experiencing this bugs?!
They don't owe anything to anyone, but this were serious bugs that potentially caused the lose of user(fans). I myself would be going to another ROM tomorrow.

 

[Misiak]

great, finally

Yep, there is still the bug with sms notification on lockscreen. It is displayed only you receive two sms messages, then the counter displays you have only one message. I would say it is some bug in counter or some nad condition. Hope guys fix it soon ;-) Then I can finally use this rom instead of cMIUI Maybe home button lag will be a bit annoying but I can live with that

I've tried most launchers on the market, including Go. The MIUI launcher is the one I use. Mine looks nothing like iphone btw.

Your feeling is wrong.

Yep, I know Do you plan to have a look at sms notif bug too? Eventually home scrren button lag? I know where to find to fix it but not sure if you have sources of android.policy.jar library?

Maybe they got an even bigger surprise for next week with jelly beans.
