Napes was correct. You don’t have to like it, but calling it trash and useless seems a little harsh. How about instead of bashing it, just go with “it was not for me”? Maybe a little Android history for some would go along on this site!!

MIUI is easily the best rom ever. Most functional, lightest and fastest, and the best looking. Its funny how other rom’s have to flash files to change things like the status bar, icons etc, yet MIUI’s theme engine is light years ahead.

People like to complain about the app drawer, having never used MIUI. Why would I want an app drawer when I can organize apps on my home screens, its the same same amount of scrolling anyway.

Ouch, no love without the app drawer.

I’ve been using MIUI for the last year. What I’ve done is limit myself to two screens and categorized all my apps to five different folders, Apps, Games, Media, Tools, and MIUI (where I’ve placed any excess apps that are only used passively). I’ve never liked digging through an draw full of a hundred apps however. With a few frequently used apps and widgets placed on the screens as well.

That’s the beauty of Android however, to each, truly their own.

I can tell arguing is out of the question as clearly your side is the only correct argument there is.

It is not that hard to just make an app drawer… -_-

Put all of the apps in a folder, place it on dock and theme away. Now you have a phone that can look like anything but still keep the feel of an Android.

No it doesn’t just put all the apps in one folder and place it on the dock, instant app drawer and no limits to the customization of your phone

It probably does not work as well as the ROM. The ROM is beast. XD

You could just make an app drawer for it…. I know it doesn’t work for everybody but I always only have widgets on the screen. What I would do is group all of the apps into one folder and just place it on the dock. Boom, app drawer made in less time than it takes to root a Nexus.

Loaded MIUI onto my Droid 1 right before upgrading to GNEX. I liked it because it was completely different but did miss the app drawer.

I had it on my phone just about all day. I couldn’t take it anymore so I just uninstalled it. Like stock ICS way more.
