While I can't say it will replace streaming my music through Google Music, when it comes to playing MP3′s off my SD card, there's no other Music app I'd rather be using. At the very least, give MIUI music a shot even, if you're happy with your current ...
You may have seen last night’s announcement about the MIUI phone, the MI-ONE and I’m sure you’ve seen us post from time-to-time on the MIUI ROM. It’s no secret, I’m a pretty big fan of the ROM. Thanks to DroidUniverse, you too can have your own little taste of MIUI thanks to the extracted Music Player app. Simply download and install using either of the two links below, no root required.
MIUI’s music player is arguably one of MIUI’s greatest native applications with a polished UI and full set of features, I, myself, have found myself missing this app from my stock Evo 3D. While I can’t say it will replace streaming my music through Google Music, when it comes to playing MP3′s off my SD card, there’s no other Music app I’d rather be using. At the very least, give MIUI music a shot even, if you’re happy with your current music player. You may be surprised.
I really hope it was someone at Phandroid who posted the screenshots, and that you truly do have Justin Beiber ft. Jayden Smith on your SD card.
WHY OH WHY....Do people want their Android phone to look like an iPhone. I understand liking the music player and even the theme engine but the fact remains it turns the basic UI functions of Android into IOS.
I agree with both of you, though more so with Chris. MIUI does seem to take visual ques from iOS, but it's a lot different...and most importantly, it's still android.
What I like about MIUI is that it manages to polish the OS while still keeping core functionality intact and actually improving on the user friendliness of some of the features.
Only thing I kinda miss from stock is the app drawer. Kinda annoys me how it will automatically add an extra screen if you forget to put your new apps into a folder. But I'm OCD about that kinda stuff so it's not a big deal.
Lockscreen is built into the MIUI framework so I don't think it can be extracted. Will have to root and flash an MIUI ROM for that one. I do have another MIUI post coming tomorrow that you might not wanna miss =)
Like Mike said, you can get WidgetLocker. I know for a fact that there are many MIUI-esque themes for that app. And, so far as I know, it doesn't require root to use.
Nothing really new. I've been enjoying the MIUI music app on my OG Droid for pretty long. All you really had to do was get out Root Explorer, dump in your system apps, change the permissions, reboot and presto! Now if they can get that file manager of theirs to support onto all devices!
