Of course, some of you already taste the unofficial version of MIUI ROM on Samsung Galaxy S2. But this one is developed specific for Samsung Galaxy S2 and not porting from other builds. So it should be better, faster and much more stable. Why not give it a try now? Enjoy MIUI’s better experience and richer themes…
Yeah… Here is another HTC Sense 3.5 ROM for HTC HD2 ~ HTC Runnymede. It is based on Android 2.3.5 (Runnymede 0.82.401.1) and using HierOS r1.7.2 Kernel. As usual, the graphics glitches issue was fixed thanks to haldric. Does its performance better than HTC Bliss Sense 3.5? Let’s find out…
Yeah… MIUI joins Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread family with MIUI v1.8.5. Therefore, I took JW MIUI build for testing. This build is updated with the latest Tytung GPS Libraries v2.0. And other goodies. Be sure to check them out at XDA website.
VillainROM is very new to me that coming from HTC HD2. However, it should not be unfamiliar with most others because VillainROM is one of the most popular custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy S II. Therefore, I picked VillainROM as my first custom CWM firmware to try. What makes VillainROM special? Based on VillainROM v2.4.2, it is fully deodexed. So you can apply custom theme but stock browser will lag. Fully resigned, but with Samsung apps left using stock signatures. You still have the stock TouchWiz from Samsung. And rest assures that it is rooted and added with Busybox and Superuser. Ninphetamine kernel that supports BLN is included too.
