Me too. I think it's a bug or they've removed the feature... not sure.

Honeycomb is for Tablet basically.
But, some XDA developers have ported it over to SGS GT-i9000 and SGS Captivate. SGS Vibrant will get it soon also.

fonda82,
Flashing MIUI/CM7 ROM updates are simply, boot into CWM and flash the new ROM.zip file. MIUI/CM7 ROMs are not WIPE RELEASE. That's why you'll have all your applications and settings retained the same as before...
Simplest and fastest update!

Kyozen,
I know some ROMs are able to read those words.

Yep. The one at XDA is tweaked a bit for better daily usages which included Ads Remover(coded inside).
So, we're not getting any stupid ads when clicking on some "FREE" Applications.
