Try out Beautiful Widgets, its a very lovely weather app with a Clock widget just like the one found on the Sense Skins. It's the best weather app I have come across so far.


Yea, I have beautiful widgets but I haven't used it in a while. I just like the way the MIUI weather looks.

Re: Android, Anyone? by SAFO(m): 9:41pm On Aug 15, 2011
I downloaded weather & toggle widgets and it gels nicely with the theme. I think I might stick with this for a while.

Ok ya'll, I get the picture. Venturing into this custom rom stuff should be worth while

Please can someone help me on choosing between the desire s and bb 4. Am really worried about the battery power of the desire which i have heard is poor especially here in Nigeria where there is no support centre to return the phone if i encounter battery problems.

Please reply this night because am planning on getting a phone latest tomorrow

Also has anyone bought the desire s from DSCL? Did you encounter any problem

I am using 1.7.22 and everything works perfectly on my phone. Wonder why yours is different. undecided. Another very cool feature of this ROM is the[b] visitor[/b] mode which once activated locks up all personal info such as SMS to any third party.
This are some shots of the beautiful widgets on my device.

well I got my desire s from DSCL about 4 months ago and I don't have any regret doing so
As per battery issue, all recent smartphones don't have extra-longlasting life wether blackberry or android
It depends on what you need the phone for
I won't suggest which to choose cos its obvious what I would recommend. . . .   .lol
cheers

@Double N
Your phone has an official miui version that's why you don't have those issues am facing
when I get a stable internet I'll! download the latest version and see how far
Re: Android, Anyone? by 4llerbuntu(m): 2:07pm On Aug 16, 2011
was wonderin about something, why do chinese clones run winmo 6.5 and other crap OS?

when i see what MIUI are doing with android, and the fact that android OS is there for anyone to use, why have they been releasing crap fones?

i see today that MIUI is backing a fone out of china officially now : http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/16/xiaomi-phone-hands-on/

and it just struck me, i dont understand why. am pretty sure some of those crap they produce would be a lot better and they would probably have a larger market if they adopted android. its free FFS!


anyway, why does the BOT always ban me when i post on this thread? and they wont release the post still after unban. na wah ooo NL
Re: Android, Anyone? by 4llerbuntu(m): 2:10pm On Aug 16, 2011
and just to clear this point, BB also dont have good battery life. gone are the days of Nokia 3310 when u charge once in 5 days.

hopefully, soon somebody will make a breakthrough on making battries that last longer

@4llerbe
the answer to your WHY is simply . . . MONEY
Most (if not all . . .lol) don't have the funds for stronger hardware and also marketing
Re: Android, Anyone? by linkin8k(m): 3:49pm On Aug 16, 2011
Is there any disadvantage of a UK used desire s? I found one for 54k which seems clean

Battery life on MIUI.us is the best i have seen on any ROM so far (No hyping). I get an average of over Day on a full charge with moderate usage including email syncing,IM, music etc. I am using the Cyanogen mod 2.6.35.13 Kernel sha. wink
Re: Android, Anyone? by DoubleN(m): 12:21pm On Aug 17, 2011
This is a Snapshot of the Kernel Version.

Re: Android, Anyone? by lynxnoon(m): 12:52pm On Aug 17, 2011
OK thanks
will look onto it
Re: Android, Anyone? by linkin8k(m): 5:49pm On Aug 17, 2011

@DoubleN, na u dem owe pass.

@LynxNoon
Whats the best ROM for the Desire S u've currently used and the cons, if any.
Re: Android, Anyone? by lynxnoon(m): 9:32am On Aug 18, 2011
@DoubleN
na true u talk oh. . those guys suppose dey settle us oh lol

@whoelse
well as per aesthetics. and full options onut funxtion scoreality Virtuous Unity but scores low on battery
for simple n sleek look but good battery there's CyanogenMod n Miui
This is my own opinion oh cost there are many other nice ROMs out there but a good place to start wud be xda site
Cheers

I am sure it will. wink I am about upgrading to 1.85 myself. grin. From all my adventures with different ROMs so far,this MIUI satisfies me the most.
