Now the following is my story between MIUI and me! Hope you enjoy it!

It was 2013, I was having an android Phone Known as"Karbonn Titanium S5"..￼

I always used to flash new roms in My Karbonn Phone.. One day I was Visiting XDA thread for Rom index of that phone.

And I saw, There was a Poll going on to vote which Rom is the Best..￼

I took a look at the Votes, and started to download Roms according to highest number of Votes..￼

I downloaded three highest voted roms i.e. Cyanogen Mod, Galaxy S4 Rom & Kitkat Flavour Rom. But I did not really liked any of these roms.

In that Poll There was some Rom named as Miui v5, When I read that name, I thought "ahh leave it, it can also be another piece of junk roms"..

And then I left it, and tried another Roms. After a month, when I had tried each and Every Rom in that forum I was unsatisfied,￼ and there was Only one Rom left to try, that was Miui V5.￼

Then I decided, Now I have to try this too, So I downloaded it. It was named as "Bunso Rom V1.1 and Miui v5 3.8.9".￼

After downloading, when I tried to install from recovery, the first thing that actually amazed me was the Aroma Installer. I was never seen that type of installer for Android, it was my first time that I got aroma installer while installing Miui. It was just incredible moment for me. ￼ The first impression made me smile..￼

Then, after it got installed, The Miui logo, I said Wow.￼

Then Comes the Incredible Moment, When I saw initial setup UI.. It was something I had never experienced.￼

The Beauty of Colours, The interface, The Sounds, And The UI made me fell in Love with Miui..￼

And After Setting Up, I saw Look screen, My Jaw Dropped.. ￼ ￼ The Beautiful Circle with double tap to music playback and also background changes. Amazed me..￼

After That Day, I never used any other Rom except Miui. Everythung Amazed me that day, The Whole UI was Something new experience for Me.￼ I Loved everything about Miui.. From that Day I always...

MIUI came to me by chance in 2013 I found MOTO Defy of my friend was with MIUI ROM based on Android. Compared with other redefined android roms, like CM, LeWa, MIUI is the best on manipulation habits, Humanityand design and so on. ￼Because of obsession with MIUI, I bought Moto Defy（called phone king at that time）, and I learned to flash t every week following Devs. It’s so amazing in my heart.￼

There was some time when my cellphone could not update intime, but I still pay attention to the weekly update of MIUI from official web,and my mood changed with MIUI(that is real). ￼I finally bought MI 3 at the endof 2013, just like a dream came true, I was so happy. More surprisingly, MIUI V5 was born in March,2013, which is of course a historical step, and in fact V5 is quite popular and widely acclaimed.￼

Anyway, MIUI V5 is the best android so far. I send my best wishes to MIUI and hope it will bepopular than ever and more MIUI fans join and grow with MIUI together.￼

This is the story between MIUI and I, thanks for your support .

I Love Miui, It Changes My Life..￼





How I met MIUI an became a fan of it

“The modern people are passionate with the electronic gadgets and maximum of us life can’t run well without some gadget.” But I was exception for that!

It was a time when I was just stepping out of college life. At that time I was a simple guy with no clue of “What android is?” In final year of my engineering, I got chance to do my college project with John Deere. I was so happy because as I was getting internship allowance for that.

“If you want to float on running water, you need to match your speed with it”. Same thing happened with me and first thought stuck in mind… “What If I have a smart phone in my pocket???”

I searched for some devices and finally thought to buy Samsung galaxy pop. I bought it and enjoyed too for few months. While “ Facebooking” I came across a group called Samsung Galaxy Mini/Pop where I mate Yagya Gaire, really friendly guy from Nepal, who gave me basic lessons of ROMs, Rooting, Flashing etc etc. I started using Cyanogen Mod Roms. After that I came to know about XDA forum and their Rom development. I was so impressed with their work, and started spending hours and hours in internet café. I bricked my mobile twice but repaired by service center.

In 2014 met a simple but most beautiful, Most Powerful, and really fantastic thing in android OS “The MIUI”. Oh my god!!! Trust me; I felt it so amazing, I went literally mad behind it. I started using different ported MIUI roms for Galaxy Pop. Day after day, months after month, I spent my online time to experience its beauty, its features, its updates and Xiaomi devices.

MIUI is very near to my heart also, because the girl who is my girlfriend now was a just friend over phone. I used to use call recording function of MIUI and was listening again and again!! MIUI helped to get most holly thing on this earth: “My First love”.

During 2014 I started knowing more about MIUI, I really don’t remember when it became my Dream. I am well known about “The secret”. I applied to get the Xiaomi Device too. I was fascinated to see MIUI’s updates and Xiaomi device’s Specs. I decided to buy Xiaomi device for MIUI, I was having three problems. First I was already having one smart phone; second major challenge was Money to buy that and third was to get permission from my parents.

There is proverb in English “True Desire can give you everything”. I always dreamed get real taste of MIUI through Xiaomi device. I always imagined MIUI around me. Whenever I saw any Mobile I felt MIUI inside it.

In 2014 I got a chance to order a Xiamoi’s brand New model MI-3. My friends Friend was working in china. Without thinking a moment about money I asked him to Order MI-3 for me. He ordered it for me, but needed wait for whole One Month and I gathered money to purchase it. I was unable to sleep properly during that period I was always imagining Xiaomi and MIUI. I was visiting MIUI forum 10 times a day. I convinced my parents by promising to avoid extra expenses. My father smiled and said “Always live your dreams my boy!” I asked my friend Suryahas Yadav to give me loan and managed 20,000 Rs. And finally that day came! I was rushing to my office desk and saw one brown box was smiling at me. It was “Xiaomi MI-3

Today I am so much happy to have MIUI device with me, I can’t explain. I created my page also on Facebook named “Xiaomi India”. It is becoming popular slowly in India. One my friend also bought MI-3 because of me. I am shy to write this but my friends call me as “MIUI’s brand ambassador”.





MIUI is having special place in my heart. It always inspires me to be simple, beautiful and silently intelligent.

I love you so much MIUI!!!



Miui changed my life

Once upon a time...... it all started when i sold my first ever android device, motorola xoom 3g+wifi 32 gb mz601, thx for accompaniying me in those 2 years, the bootloop that quite oftenly happened, force me to sell it , so i searched for a new android device, tablet to be more precise, i found none that could meet my expectations, and BUDGET,

I keep on searching, and i found some chinese tablets, pipo, chuwi, hyundai, to name a few, so i dive deeper in the net, until i found giz giz sumthin site founded by AS a very friendly guy, in this site there are more news about chinese smartphones rather than tablets, all of which, are superior in specs and price, comparatively to other japanese, korean brands, but chinese products, so sorry about this, are known for cheap quality,

so i searched again, which one is the best, in specs, build quality, and off course PRICE, then i found it, xiaomi! then i thought, instead of tablet, why not smartphone? never had one before... one thing i put into consideration in buying a smartphone is the UI, i want a unique UI not just stock vanila ice cream..



...xiaomi has it! actually there is other chinese or taiwanese(?) brand that caught my attention, OPPO, well the brand says it clear Over Price Price Over, it is out of my league..



..so i decided xiaomi is the one! lots of features especially the theme app, super specs, magical price, this is what i've been looking for! next, i need to find reviews, from random reviews on the net and even from local indonesian forum, can i state it here? the name of the forum starts with K ends with S, all are postive, there is a thread there, all about xiaomi, some users are age old user of xiaomi phones, they have been using miphones since mi1, they have never experience any problem..

..so i became fully convinced, no doubt anymore, i'm gonna buy it! i'm a fan of big screen, most android flagship devices have 5++" screen, so ill wait for the delayed mi3, so sad that i have to wait, but its woth it, i'll have a taste of mi3 and the new version of miui soon, just to let u know, there are plenty of wonderful themes available, even the free ones are great, the premium ones that i have a crush on will take 100++ or even 200++ mibi to buy, WOW! how can i own one?



they do not ship outside china, and the online resellers price is a "killer"! but that doesnt stop me! luckily, thx to a very kind and generous friend who study in china, GOD bless him! he will help me buy one! HOORAY!!! and finally me and my mi3 with its beauty mui live happily ever after!

xiaomi - feel the magic!

miui - everything u need!



Another poem for miui written by me ;)

I was asked “What is MIUI”?

Man! I wanted to give him what was due

But like a happy mascot, I decided to take the cue

And enlighten my fellow human on trends that were new

I told him, look MIUI is like seeing the world through vision that was clear

No complication, No burden, No waste

Everything that you need but just too much to map

Well, I got his interest and he asked “Is it better than my OS?”

I wasn’t too confident on his prowess

But still handed him my phone to test and stress

Smoothness and customisation I told him were the best

In addition to internal security, cloud service, text and unwanted call blocking and the rest

And my favourite listening to customers and churning out weekly update for the acid test

I didn’t need to finish, coz he was already searching his phone to launch a defence

I gave him some time to protest

Since had already guessed

This would only result in him being stressed

In a quest, admiring his effervescent zest

Which I knew would end only in one answer at the best

He finally looked up smiled and said what we all know

MIUI is the BEST!!! ￼







Below Are The Amazing Features Of MIUI Which Played A Crucial Role In Convincing Me To Be A MIUI Fanboy and Lover



Clean and Beautiful UI

If, after a couple of months with Android, the black backgrounds and white text in all of the menus start to get on your nerves, then MIUI is exactly what the doctor ordered. It’s gorgeous. And yes, it looks a bit like the iPhone, but that is far from a bad thing. The tabs are cleaner, and all options menus in applications look revamped, easier on the eyes and just plain beautiful. Try to go back from MIUI to a regular Android installation and you will scream tragedy. MIUI's settings menu and drop down notification bar

Lockscreen

One of the first improvements on stock Android that you will see in MIUI is the lockscreen. It looks different, and finally brings a host of much needed features. Missed calls and new messages are easily accessible from it, even giving you the option to long click to enter the Dialer or the Messaging applications. The lockscreen can also show you a music player widget if you are playing music, and a long press on the home button while locked will launch the flash light. The fact that all of these are accessible without even unlocking your phone is a major benefit. Default lockscreen and another one showing the music player controls

Themes and Customization

If you have tried CyanogenMod and thought that it was customizable, think again. MIUI brings the concept of themes to a whole new level. You can browse and download from a great collection of themes that change the look of everything on the device: lockscreen and homescreen with their wallpapers, icons, status bar, fonts, messaging application, dialer and contacts, boot animation, and even sounds such as the boot audio, ringtones, notifications and alarms. However, the awesome part isn’t any of these, but the fact that you can mix and match any elements of any theme in order to get a unique look that fits your needs. You might for example prefer a black status bar and drop-down, but white Dialer and Messaging applications. And if you feel that MIUI is too iPhone-like out of the box, these themes and the level of customization help deter that idea. MIUI online themes downloads and customizable theme elements

Better Dialer and Contacts

We tend to often forget it: our Android smartphones are still “phones” underneath all the shine, and the calling feature is quite important. MIUI brings a T9 predictive dialer, which stock Android unbelievably still lacks, with an integrated call log. The Contacts application is also revamped, looking much cleaner, with multiple lines support for email and web addresses, so they don’t look truncated like on stock Android.

It even integrates the call log, and for the first time on an Android ROM, you can actually add a person to a group and manage your groups with them synchronizing back to Google Contacts (correct me if I’m wrong, but there is no way to do that in the stock Android ROM).

Great Music Player

Another improved application on MIUI is the Music Player. As a matter of fact, it is so awesome, it exists as a separate app for different Roms . And what makes it so special, I hear you ask? Aside from the gorgeous UI, it can automatically download album art and lyrics for all of your songs. The fascinating part though is that it can play these lyrics, like a karaoke machine, in sync with the music, in the player itself and in its homescreen widget. Sweetness!

Built-in Screenshots While stock Android users have to wait until Ice Cream Sandwich to get built-in screenshot ability, MIUI has had it for quite a while. Press the Menu button and volume down at the same time, and – ta-da – a screenshot is taken and saved to your SD card. Useful for when you want to brag about your latest homescreen setup or show a friend a cool new application or game.

Integrated Task Management

MIUI offers a couple of ways to manage your background applications. First, when leaving an application, you can long-press on the Back button to totally quit it and not just leave it in the background. Second, when you long-press the Menu key to view your most recent 12 applications, MIUI shows a highlight around those that are still running and gives you an App Killer option to terminate all background processes and free some RAM.

Data Monitor and Firewall

This is also one of the promised features of Ice Cream Sandwich, but if you don’t want to wait for it, you can already get it in MIUI. It has an integrated monitor for your data, WiFi, calls and messages usage, with the option to set a notification when you hit a certain percentage of your allowed Data plan. The firewall is another neat addition that helps you deny access to Data and/or WiFi on a per application basis. These two options bundled together are quite useful if you don’t have an unlimited data plan, since you can keep an eye on your usage, as well as limit certain applications to WiFi-only access, for example.

DND Mode



MIUI comes with a “Do Not Disturb” mode that allows you to block certain numbers from calling or messaging you. This helps you stay focused when you need to, or only allow access to you from your loved ones if you’re busy. It also saves you from installing third-party software to do this.





Speed

Surprisingly, despite the eye candy, this ROM is fast. Really fast. Back when I was running stock Android or CyanogenMod I had to make all sorts of tweaks to the OS to make it run half decent, but immediately after flashing MIUI, things were running very smoothly. If you've got an old phone, this ROM is worth checking out for the speed increases alone. You can still use a different home screen launcher with MIUI, but you'd lose some of the interface's beauty and a lot of its cool features, so I don't recommend it.







A Whole Lot More

MIUI’s slew of great features can hardly be covered in 10 points, as it offers a lot more than the stock Android ROM. The Camera and Gallery are revamped for example. There’s a File Manager that also integrates an FTP server so you can access your SD card from your computer’s browser and transfer files easily. There’s also a Backup function that resembles Titanium Backup, saving your applications and their data so you can easily restore them after you uninstall or after updating ROMs. The drop-down status bar can be personalized to include notification toggles for WiFi, Data, Bluetooth, GPS, Flashlight, Screen rotation, Brightness, and many more… The battery meter can be shown in either graphical design, percentage numbers or as a top bar above the status bar.

All in all, there’s a lot to love and customize in MIUI.

A POEM FOR Mi THEMES, ME, YOU & I (MIUI) Colors of orange, blue and white. May you prosper in time with flatters and might! Let those who hold their ROMs bestowed, Be that of what you wish installed. M.I. me, you could see, That this is meant for you and me. Thy port of life behold in thee, In every phone we will be. A root of life shall open your doors, To accept the power of themes be yours. For nothing can match its will to surprise, The hunger it dwells within your eyes. Only then, will you be free. The magical root to eternity. Walk thy path and shower with fame, Behold your phone that holds your name! Thanks Mi for giving us what we want. Miui will be evergreen always in our hearts.
