OK managed to get it on my p1000. Had to first load Overcome ROM and then do MIUI flash from SD card.

Planning to give MIUI a try. I see the zip file is only 84 MB - what does this mean for the system partition?

Reason I ask, is i'm on the CM7 Hboot.
Will I have to go back to the stock hboot?
Or should I flash some other Hboot?
Or can I go ahead without changing from the CM7 Hboot?

All you have to do is flash it like you would CM7... ie copy it to SD card boot recovery and select the miui zip file for flash.

Just remember to back up and clear all cache before you do. Also recommended that you clear battery details and recon for best experiance.

You're saying, it doesn't matter what the size of my system partition is. That doesn't sound right.

Mine is still set to 250MB(standard) and I have 125 MB free with MIUI-110070. Don't play around much with partitions.

Cool, thanks.

I'm on the cm7 hboot so 145 total. From what you're saying it sounds like miui needs only 125, which is great.

I'll go ahead and try miui on my current setup and see how it goes. It's just weird that they wouldn't explicitly note the small ROM size, coz then you can change your partition and have more internal memory for apps.

Phew, I've finally managed to root and flash MIUI onto my new SGS2 after several hours of trial & error and reading between the lines and I don't think I've actually caused any lasting damage :)

Looks great though, but do you really have to factory reset every time you flash a rom? And if so, is there an easy way to get your apps and stuff back?

Well depends on how much changed with the rom used. Some only replace some system files and the kernel where others like MIUI replace just about everything.

Best is to use something like Titanuim back-up for everything
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMS for SMS
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.CallLogBackupRestore for Call logs
And something like ES File Manager for the applications

I normally stay with MIUI so use the included back-up and restore feature to swap between MIUI roms

Forgive my newbieness on this one, but I've just flashed my 1st rom on a new phone and would like to stay with it. But to clarify, if I re-download the apps I had installed already, do the methods you mention mean I can somehow re install them from a back up through MIUI instead of downloading again the next time I flash?

That is correct. As for the MIUI back up you simply use restore when you lose anything between flashes.

You can always take it for a spin without flashing. To test it out. Go into backup and back up your device. Then uninstall something and test the recover ;)

Excellent, I'll give it a bash when I start downloading stuff again, have just found the backup app after a 5 minute search :) It's all a bit confusing at the moment trying to figure out what's cooking though. For example my memory is reporting that my 8gb sd card is now apparently 11.5gb, and my phones memory is now a total of 2gb?????


There are also a lot of apps missing that come bundled with the stock rom that I would like back such as the maps and gps apps so some major downloading is on the cards And do you have any idea where I can find the samsungapps app for so I can get tapatalk for free again. It's not on the market or samsung site :confused:

I've been in and out of Google and XDA since 4 o'clock. Think I'll pick it up tomorrow again ;)

Thanks for the info.

Samsung Apps runs on the TouchWiz (TW) Framework that Samsung developed. Some folks over at the Galnet MIUI forums managed to hack the TW Framework to get it running on MIUI - best to go there and have a look.

Cheers, I am downloading the Galnet ROM now and will flash it later for comparison with the miuiandroid from the UK. I'm back on the stock ROM at the moment and am backing up my apps and data with Titanium Pro hoping to restore later after I flash back to MIUI.
