You can't just install the MIUI Launcher. Its a very powerful and feature-loaded launcher (massive theme library)...yet its still one of the quickest!

To get MIUI you need to look for custom roms that have baked it in. The sour part of this experience is that MIUI hooks onto stock AOSP ROMs or roms that are built on top of aosp roms (like CM9 or AOKP).

Custom Roms (like Villian Mod-Roms) that are built on top of "oem shipped roms" (ie Blur, Sense, TouchWizz) cannot support the MIUI framework/build. So if you don't have any supported aosp/aokp/cm9 rom you cannot get MIUI.

You can get a taste for the MIUI Launcher though in the form of copy or clone launchers. Examples:
360 Launcher (App Drawer is permanent, no longer deletable unfortunately http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1345601 )
QQ Launcher Pro (discontinued - broken link)
TencentDesktop ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1220695 ) <<< Recommended!!
One lazy question: Why there is something called MIUI? What can MIUI do while Android do not? I know there is a reason why there is MIUI, just too far behind for me to catch up. For the time being, there is NO MIUI for tablet, that is why I am not quite sure to proceed. I got everything written for Galaxy Nexus. Would NOT gamble my tablet while I am only 72 hrs from having it Still learning/playing with a new toy, not ready to risk it into a door stop .

I installed apex launcher, very versatile and flexible. I like it, thanks
