MIUI - explainer please - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So what is the deal with MIUI on Samsung Galaxy S2?
Is there a proper version or still just a version some Hungarians have hacked for the S2?
If so, where is it and how do I get it on?
Also - is there any chance of just getting the lock screens on my S2?
Thanks.

If it can be phrased as a question, it belongs in Q&A
nothing to do with development...

MIUI will be officially supported in few weeks as MIUI china have said they will support SGS2. They were waiting for CM 7.1 to be released as stable. Current Iterations of MIUI are Galnet, Gangsterjoop and NDT also there is a myfluxi build.
Also this should have been in Q&A.
Mod please move to Q&A Many Thanks

A galaxy s ii aosp rom different from cm7?

Has an aosp rom different from cm7 been released for tha galaxy s II or at least is someone working on one?
Why don't you do a search man. After nearly 700 posts I'm sure you've been told that a few times by now. In the Dev section there are at least 3. Plus Oxygen over at Oxygen forums, and GalnetMIUI over at their forums.

[Q] Android 2.3.6 for Galaxy S2?

Hi Guys,
Terrible newbie question here; I have searched briefly but haven't found an answer.
Is Android 2.3.6 available for the Galaxy S2? I'm still on 2.3.3 and am bored of waiting for OTA updates.
I've seen that there is a 2.3.5 ROM available here on these forums but don't see the point in upgrading to that now then 2.3.6 is out...
Can anyone help me with my question for up-to-dateness?
Thanks.
2.3.4 just released today in some Nordic countries, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269607. Then 2.3.5, 2.3.6...
So why did you search about 2.3.6? Update to 2.3.4 first!

I was just going by Wikipedia which says the current Android version is 2.3.6....
Is there any indication from Samsung when they'll be pushing out 2.3.4 to the UK devices?
I would love to get a basic installation really without all of the Samsung crap on it. :\

Actually the current Android version is 2.3.7 for NFC capable devices, stop thinking about official 2.3.6, they barely launched official 2.3.4 for northern europe.
I'm in Spain southern Europe and still no 2.3.4. But I have had a few 2.3.3 updates which is fine by me. I love this phone.

Nope, european version doesn't have NFC, only korean and an american version if i'm not mistaking.
Just for future references, Google releases new Android OS versions, it first shows up in Nexus Phones. Then, manufacturers need to get the lastest OS to build their new ROM around it with their own skin/theme. This typically takes couple months and then a new ROM leaked or released. So, typically you will see a new Samsung ROM about 6 months later. You can't download or install Android OS directly. You have to wait for OEM to built it.

I advice you, if you want a stock rom, flash XWKJ3 2.3.5, is the best firmware for SGS2..
you can find also the individual CSC..

The CM nightlies are more stable than the 'stable version'.

[q] cyanogenmod 7.1 info

Hi guys, i'm using KI8 stock with siyah 1.8 right now, and it looks like one of the best configuration for galaxy S2.
Anyway, i'm very interested about trying the famous cyanogenmod 7.1 stable, and i just want to have some judgement about it...it's faster and more battery safe than a stock? it's the best?
[NIGHTLY][ROM][GWK74] CyanogenMod 7 (w/ Gingerbread 2.3.7) for Galaxy SII Q&A contains 6,602 posts relating to CyanogenMod, or since you mention 7.1 "stable" (it was later changed to RC1), [ROM] CyanogenMod 7 for the Samsung Galaxy S II :: V7.1.0 RC1 (9 Oct 2011).
There is no stable release. There is a lot of issues and you should really wait and go with MIUI or one of the modded samsung roms for now

Wrong. There is a stable release, and you can download it from the link posted above. Also, it's not full of bugs, but if you're going to try it, I suggest you go for the latest nightly; it should have more fixes than the stable build. However, it's an experimental build, so be prepared for weird things. I'm using it since a long time, and it's really stable on my phone.
Also, learn to f***ing post in the right thread

Which is based on CM7 and therefore would contain most if not all of the same "issues".
in the cyanogenmod official page the rom it's called "stable"...and anyway i think MIUI has more issues than CGM...

what is difference between "galaxys2" and "i9100 intl". on cyanogenmod site? help?

what is difference between "galaxys2" and "i9100 intl". on cyanogenmod site? help?
Because i dont get iit because you have in the list on github 'galaxy s2' (that where you go when you look in devices and click on galaxy s2 you go to github but it only goes to cm9)
And i look in the list on the left i see 'i9100' that also a galaxy s2 so i look it says international version and has cm10. So what is that i dont get it? Whats the difference?
I know it has cm10.1 bit why not on official CM site?
Sorry for al my mispels i write terible.
I9000 is the samsung galaxy known as the captivate.
I9100 is the samsung galaxy S2 upgraded verion of the samsung galaxy.
there are big difference in the how the phones are constructed.
cm10 is the newest version and deleveloped based on the latest software.
cm9 is anolder version based on gingerbread.
as to your other question cannot understand what you are trying to say.

cm10 is newer version of the foirmware and will work on sgs2. It is an upgrade of cm9.
Since it custom firmware, you must make the choice to flash it or upgrade it. Does not come as stock firmware or automatically upgradeable via kies.

CM10 is based on JB
CM9 was based on ICS.
CM8 was reserved for HC but was never used.
CM7 was based on GB
And the users question has nothing to do with the I9000.
I wonder the same thing actually. On cyanogenmod download page there are both galaxys2 and i9100.
galaxys2 have cm9
and i9100 have cm10 nightlies
Links: (cant post actual link without 10 posts)
galaxys2 - download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=galaxys2
i9100 - download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100
My phone:
Model: GT-I9100
Baseband: I9100XXLPX
CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 1
I'm from Sweden.
So with my phone, should I download cm9 from galaxys2 or would cm10 work from i9100 page?
Anyone understands me?
Thanks.
Both would work
But please do a full wipe before flashing if you are not already on cm to avoid problems

I get you! Though I have no clue why did they do that I can recommend you to go for cm10.1 or CM10 from "i9100"! galaxys2 is for the old cm9 version... I suppose they did it so because the galaxy S2 still didn't get its official jb update and some people still prefer ics hence they dont wan't to stop development for cm9 for s2 and merge it! I suppose after the official jb is released they'll merge it with i9100! Don't forget to thank!

[Q] cyanogenmod 10 stable for gt i9300

I've searched the entire forum for a stable version of cm10 for I 9300 but have been unsuccessful, I don't get it. Why isn't there a stable version for the international version. On the download site, even the cm10 nighties aren't there. Why so?

That's because TeamHacksung jumped straight from the CM10 nightlies to the 10.1 ones, with no stable release in between.
The term 'stable release' isn't much of a differentiator though - all it means is that the code is a bit older than the nightly release stuff.
a big [Q] in you topic and still in general thread
Yes Both CM10 and 10.1 is stable of course if u don't use HDMI

Just letting you know there's an edit button and questions go in Questions & Answer section.
To answer your other question, I don't think the CM team considers CM "stable" on the International GS3 because of the Exynos related issues they can't fix due to lack of / poor documentation. A lot of developer frustration over this. The American versions of the S3 (T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon and AT&T) all use Snapdragon since Exynos didn't support LTE at time of launch last year.
