So the more apps that are running, the more sluggish the device. No big surprise and certainly not the\u00a0 fault of the OS.

Not surprising it looks like packing more apps unto the device slows it down regardless the ROM being used, so in this very qualitative study I will not draw any conclusion of MIUI vs. CM7 performance. Perhaps more interesting to investigate are the launchers where ADWLauncher EX offers a lot more customization that the MIUI launchers,\u00a0 customization that must come with some cost on performance (that could also be said about MIUI&#8217;s theme support &#8211;\u00a0 is it coincidence that I first noted performance\u00a0 degradation when I started applying new themes?)<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I am back on my usual phone now (its camera is better), but look forward to trying out a newer version of MIUI if it supports whatever my next handset will be.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link to Part 1 Thursday After several days of MIUI leaving good impressions, I have decided to add a handful of social network apps to see what happens to performance with those running in the background.
