Both Standard MIUI and GalnetMIUI has it own bugs. Read thru their official thread to learn more.

Self Cooked ROM is the best

No need coz it will replace the whole system files with the new one unless instructed by the dev.

For the kernel, it is a bit subjective, everyone has it own favorite which depends on own usage pattern and preferences. Try kernel supplied with the ROM first as the benchmark then flash others to judge which is the best for you.

OIC, strikeout supercurio, all custom ROMs are rooted already.

For CWM, use CF-Root kernel. Much easier.

Woot....., that's i9000 thread - SGS1, you should read from i9100 thread.

Yes, possible but we won't discuss it (if you meant those illegal apps) here and you have to find it yourself. And no need rooting to just install apps. This is android not IOS. Don't get yourself confuse.

Why is everyone is asking this kind of "rooting" question here. Are they being advised by Apple guru????

CWM you need to access at booting stage. CWM Manager apps is installed by default with CF-Root kernel. Not available for other kernel except the dev included it in the ROM. If your Superuser app is working fine, then your busybox was installed correctly.

Well, you can read post #5 on the first page (read articles from the links posted also). Thanks to Benny for his effort to compile it.

Low Yat search function is better than XDA and yet some people can't use it wisely to find the answers.

Polaris! the stock one is good for me atm.

Download this package. All the removed apps in Batista.

Just extract it, copy polarisoffice.apk into /system/app in your phone.

EDIT: Aiseh.... beaten, too slow in typing...

Flash this thru CWM...




Attached File(s)
 KH3_Samsung_Dive.zip ( 929.77k ) Number of downloads: 13

If you did not like to create nested folders like /sdcard/media/audio/xxxx

You can create like these examples.

/sdcard/Notifications or /sdcard/Ringtones

If you wanted it to be inside micro sdcard, change the path above accordingly like

/sdcard/external_sd/Notifications

Then reboot the phone so it will scan the changes.

Shortcut method to force scanning... create a dummy file inside the folder then delete it. Must use Myfiles app.

Update ROM is mostly ok without wipe, upgrade ROM is recommended to wipe especially if Android version changed.

Set to auto for better coverage. If you set to 3G only, in area where there is no 3G coverage, you phone will not register to the network.

Set to GSM only if you wanted to save the battery.

Aiseh... DXKI2 came out already. I just finished deodexed XWKI4. If still 2.3.3 then I'll pass this base.

There is a quick way to do it.

All the files are inside xxxx.apk/res/drawable especially in drawable-hdpi

Use 7zip program. Do not extract the file if possible especially the xxx.9.png else you may break the metadata of the file.

Theme files are inside /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/app/SystemUI.apk, some files may be inside /system/framework/twframework-res.apk for Samsung apps.

The best method.... extract both folders from your phone file and the theme file. Use this as comparison only. After you managed to identify the files, then use 7zip (u need to open two instances) and drag it over.

Some themer do modified .xml file especially the 1% battery status and progress bar. This requires decompiling and recompiling the framework if you're going to port it to another version of ROM.

This is a simple guide and I'm not responsible if your phone boot loop or the images are not sizing properly...

Always create a backup CWM flash able framework and save it in the internal SD first before flashing the mod one.

I have one pixel on top right corner, removed SP it's gone. Put a new SP it came back but lower left of the screen. Moral of the story, sometimes the SP can create a fake dead pixel. I rest my case if you did not apply any SP

Yes, you can port some of the icons and themes to other ROM. Up to what extent? coz some may need to decompile the apk.

If that the case, get JKay theme file first then change the icons. Much easier.

Any apps at the dock will not shown in the app drawer.

All status bar icons are in SystemUI.apk except battery icons.
