DROIDX and DROID2 Finally Receive MIUI Ports
​

​

​

You all know MIUI by now, don’t you? This would be one of the few ROMs that actually gives you a completely new user experience. We released the port of the new overhaul last week for the original DROID, but today, it’s all about the DROIDX and DROID2. This has been one of those ROMs that wouldn’t make its way onto either device because of its stingy bootloader. Well, thanks to our boy @cvpcs who figured out his 2nd-init magic for some CM7 goodness, we now have MIUI. Huge props to the MIUI team (Frameworks43) for getting this out to us.

Download: DROIDX | DROID2
Instructions:
1. Drop on .zip on SD card.
2. Boot into recovery and make a backup.
3. Wipe data/factory reset.
4. Load up MIUI.
5. Enjoy!

NOTES:
You MUST be on CyanogenMod 7 or .340 Froyo to flash this rom!
Remember to wipe before flash!
Don't worry if you get a bootloop, Its normal!
Also, when rom is booted, MAKE sure to select a ringtone! [Settings -> Sound Settings->Ringtone]

Kinda looks iPhone-ish to me. Like iOS with Widgets.

One thing i like is when you pull the notification bar down there is 2 tabs, one is notifications the other is toggles. I'm going to love that feature.

I haven't had much time to play with it yet, but its pretty much set up like the iphone, big bubbly icons. The settings page looks just like iphone stuff. I don't like that its all folders, and no main spot where all your apps were like on all other Android Roms.

Idk, i'll play with it for a while and see how i like it.


Update: Another thing that is pretty sweet is the Theme manager. you can download piles of boot animations, unlock screens, wallpaper, system themes, and more.

Okie dokie.. I'm excited about getting back onto MIUI.. I had it on my OG Droid before I upgraded to the X.

That being said... it's been since January that I've installed any ROM's onto a phone and that was my original Droid.. I am currently full stock, unrooted GB and I understand that I need to SBF back to FroYo.. NP there.

My question is this.. do I need to root FroYo (I'm guessing yes.. shouldnt be a problem) and after that do I need to use DXBootstrap to get into recovery to flash MIUI or what?


A little help would be appreciated here

omg i am in love. this is my first MIUI flash ever and after getting over the lack of an app drawer, I have to say... This is beautiful, and probably the snappiest, most overwhelmingly functional AOSP ROM i've ever tried. I really hope it doesn't go the road of CM7 with no updates for a month. I wonder when it'll show up in ROM manager..
I also wish there were more options to get through the themes. It's missing basic functionality like search...Most Popular...etc.

Speeding Wheels, yeah. That would work fine.

Yes, root Froyo, then use bootstrap to install the files.
