I gotta agree with Merc, MIUI is just customizable. And in most cases looks nothing like iOS.

I do find MIUI V4 to be quite a battery drain though, regardless of kernel used, compared with ASOP & AKOP ROMs.

I'm using 3.6.1 - the latest build. That and the Samsung Apps mod have created a setup I keep coming back to. It has and does everything.
 
I mostly use WiFi for 'net access on my SGS2 but when I use 3G it is very, VERY slow. Status bar shows either E, 3G or H depending where I am but that does not seem to change the speed. The phone info shows "WCDMA preferred" and baseband is XXLPS. www.speedtest.net app gives me less than 100kbps download and not less than 500ms ping to Rosebank.

Any suggestions?

That is an awesome theme you got there buddy! Care to share? :p

PS: My battery life is awesome, regardless of which Siyah kernel I use.
 
merc, which MIUI are you using? Official?
I am currently using Kaffee4Eck 2.7.20, but also had battery drain and heat problems with official MIUI.
Also, which modem are you currently using?

The theme is the "Echo V4.4 2nd Theme" - which can be downloaded from here, as well as others - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632424
The clock and weather widget is UCCW - Ultimate Custom Clock Widget. Get the app from the market, then there are literally hundreds of different clocks that can be imported. Try Google, or this thread on XDA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387518

I'll send you the .uzip file that can be imported into UCCW if you don't find it.

Does anyone have a mirror to RR 3.0.1 that isn't locked from work? All the links from RR.com and XDA are blocked from here. :@

Sorry man...
Trying to get an answer in this thread that isn't related to ROMs is a futile exercise.
I actually have a similar problem - almost always on EDGE, and even when I get HSDPA or 3G there isn't a marked improvement. I blame MTN and not the phone - a friend has a SGS2 running on Virgin and he gets spectacular speeds

It's not so much a case of being ignored. I am also MTN, and I have no such problem, so I don't honestly know what to say. Have you tried another network SIM in the same device to check if it is indeed the network, and not a hardware issue?

I'm using 2.7.20 from MIUIAndroid.com :) Where do you download yours from?

Thanks for the links :)

Use a measuring tool ... see if this app will help - Network Signal Info
(sorry no link)
