Installed the update and here are my thoughts on it:
1. Boot screen is the Droid boot eye, what happened to the Chinese boot screen. Now this looks like every other ROM out there on boot up.
2. Phone, Contacts and MMS looks like every other ROM out there now and has no special feel like the original MIUI rom did.
3. Lock screen wallpaper you can not choose from Gallery, and are limited by just having the wallpaper that is pre-selected
4. When the phone rings, the old slider that goes up and down is gone, now its left and right
5. The ROM is speedy and pretty stable from the testing I have done with it.
6. FC when trying to view the call log after receiving a call
The changes while ok, take away from the MIUI that I have come to know. In fact for me, so much that I think I might pass as the changes just make this like any other ROM instead of one that stands out like it did with the MIUI way of doing things, phone, contacts, sms the little things like you slide to answer the phone, the boot screen, those were unique to what made this ROM different. I'm sure the changes made were for good reason and as I said the ROM seems pretty fast and the only FC I have seen is trying to view the call log.
Maybe its just me, but personally the changes just align this to feel like the other roms available and just took away the unique part of the way this ROM use to look and feel.
It sounds like i'm reading a movie review. I did this for myself and others who wanted the phone to not fc and have the *228 option.
About the bootanimation I thought the miui one was retarded so much so that I would rather have the regular droid one.
Oh and I'm pretty sure this isn't like every other rom out there.
