myles J: After misplacing my fourth bb i decided to switch 2 android fone. after much consultatns i settld for htc cha cha . i must confess i never had it better , bt one month into it am missing my BB already mtn wan run me down. i ve spent over 5k in past 1 month downloadn applications frm d android market i stil ve nt been able to get d apps i desire. til network providers find a better data plan for other smart fones users bb remains d best for nigerians

I find that very misleading......what in the hell are you downloading from the market?? ......almost all apps in the market average 6MB in size with the exception of games and HTC cha cha is not even a (average) gaming fone.

blink182: Has anyone noticed that when you load, MTN barely charges your calls? I am referring †☺ those of you that signed in f̶̲̥̅̊☺я their new bonus package.

4llerbuntu: which phone do u want to put it on sef?

en.miui.com for the officially supported phones.

get the latest version. its JellyBean based

4llerbuntu: The unique looks,. the fact that so many functions are built in from scratch, the fact that it has unique addons.

i have always told u, use a ROM for 2 days before making up your mind if its nice or not. the only reason to remove a ROM in one hr is if it does not run properly, is FC - ing and ur apps done work etc etc etc.


The only aftermarket replacement rom thats better than MIUI is CM, and thats because they manage to do vanilla android with cool improvements.

MIUI packs waay more stuff smoothly. how will u know when all u were looking for is the eyecandy

is your fone supported officially by MIUI or it was a port you flashed? ports are not indicative of the real deal usually, the guys who do it use CM as a base and slap MIUI UI on top. most of the time they remove functions just to get it to work.

STOCK MIUI is no slouch in performance either



way back at gingerbread level MIUI was the first ROM to have lockscreen notification( the same one apple is marketing now), the phonebook had way more functions, stuff like data monitoring/management were built in, restrictions, u could specify how much data allowance u used daily etc etc.
stuff that u need apps for on other roms.

sure the looks is not for everyone, but hey why not give it 48 hrs before thrashing it, you would be surprised how u take things for granted with it on ur fone.

4llerbuntu: which incidentally brings up something i was thinking about today.

it is commonly said that MIUI is like the IOS. maybe when they started.

as of now to my mind the only thing similar is the row of square icons. and that is easily changed.

the amount of innovation and improvements in MIUI roms, even over and above stock android is astounding.

in a sane world, there is absolutely any way any body sane should take a MIUI 4 phone and say it is like IOS, its way better.



most folks who want to run custom roms should give MIUI a try. great OS, plus they improve it WEEKLY!

SGS3
Stand-by Up to 590 h (2G) / Up to 790 h (3G)

This can't be right......OR is it??

3G standby time greater than 2G standby time

4llerbuntu: mt stock xperia rom, supertweaked and supercharged, with an overclocked kernel and magic!!

4llerbuntu: sup pple.

wats poppin?

my fone is boring me. i have probably the best rom i ever used on it, light superfast, tweaked. super performance, runs everything smoothly, all games etc etc.

but the problem is, its oring me now. been on this rom almost a month. keep getting this itch to flash it.

but i know that whichever rom i choose will not be as good...........

so why im i even thinking abt flashing it? im really trying resisting the urge to flash it, but im losing the fight

4llerbuntu: so u r now converting yr naira to dollar? hehehe big boi!!! thats d spirit. how much tex don dash u to take buy app?

moonraker: Just dropping a lil research here.

After one week use of Siri (ios6) and S voice (Samsung)

I feel that S voice is better than Siri in what tasks it can do.

While siri feels alit bit natural in Speech compared to S voice!!!

Guess Siri still has alot to learn when it comes to being an assistant...

KazeKage1: I use Google Music and i didn't have to do anything out of the ordinary to get it. I don't know if Spotify works in these parts, unless you rig it and i don't support piracy
