Folders are your friend if you use the miui launcher. You can also use another launcher like go launcher, etc. Some of the coolest parts of miui are the customizations. Check out the themes; you can browse them from the the theme app.

Well there seems to be a problem for me MIUI. I plugged my phone up last night everything was fine. Then I got up this morning and all I get is a black screen with the notification bar the only thing showing. I restarted several times and pulled the battery but no luck. I cant seem to figure it out

Did you flash a theme? It could be a lockscreen messing up. When that black screen comes up, try pressing the back button and vol up (this bypasses the lockscreen, fyi). If that does anything, you just need to flash a different theme (and you can flash individual parts of themes if you want as well).

That fixed it. Thanks, Why did it do that?

[jeems]

Had you flashed a theme recently? The themes can be outdated, there are themes for ics versions of miui that wouldn't work with this one, sometimes they are just poorly made themes and then there is the slim possibility it didn't install correctly. If it was stock I really don't know why it would do that.

All I know it was one that I selected and downloaded under themes. I uninstalled it now. Hopefully that takes care of it

Use the customize button at the bottom it brings up a list of things you can change without changing the whole theme so you choose the things you like about different ones to mix and match

For the most part I try to get ones that have some sort of a review. I think there are a whole bunch over at XDA as well.

Here's one that is all just lockscreens: [MIUI LS THEMES] New Official MIUI Lockscreen Thread--ONLY POST THEMES, NO COMMMENTS - xda-developers

I was wondering. How do I know if I got the latest version. I have MIUI-2012.3.23, If not how do I update it or should I update it. I know I read somewhere its updated every week. Not sure if its for this device or not? Thanks

3.23 is a recent version, but the latest is 5.12 MIUI DefX by Wizard0f0s

You can just wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash this. You shouldn't lose anything you've changed (but it's always a good idea to make a backup just in case!).

The miui versions can be a little tricky since there are more than one. This one does not get weekly updates (not a bad thing, imho). And you probably figured it out, but the version numbers are just the release date. The version of miui that is updated every week is based on ICS. It has come a long way and might be worth checking out, but I just like the reliability of this version.
