From now on, on this thread I will only post DarkMIUI ROMs to avoid confusion with other MIUI ROMs.
Installation:
- Download the ROM and flash it in ClockworkMod Recovery.
- Flash an MIUI kernel and then boot up your phone.
I also present here my Darkforest MIUI porting tool for linux, devices can be added easily and it is a script that ports MIUI to your device. If you have an R800i, I have already added the appropriate files

Hey Keiran.
Firstoff thanks for the Upload and stuff.
You might want to add other languages though, or encourage people to link you to their localized version of MIUI to port and upload for the forums.
For those who don't know what i'm talking about : I'm on a German DHD ported MIUI right now. (yes i'm switching VERY frequently.. -.-) simply by downloading MIUI-Germany.de's ROM and using BlendMIUI Porting tool.
Works with other localized versions aswell.

I suppose I could do that too, but I would have to download LOADS of ROM's then hehe.
Is there not any multi-language flashable thing that adds your language?

WiFi fix was easy, I forgot to replace FreeXperia's with mine, so on boot FreeXperia's overwrote mine meaning WiFi didn't work. But I corrected the ramdisk so that now my WiFi module is there.
You needed help and I seen your post, so I started up this thread, and in doing so I started using MIUI, so then I also made a kernel for it too
