don't use ROM manager to flash anything on your device. It has caused many problems for many people already.
Flash with CWM recovery.
It's very easy to use.
BTW, what's your ROM details?

Yeah, we are almost there.
I think you are running 4.0.3
Check SETTINGS - About.
Tell McGee what you see under android version and kernel

That was quick.
If iunderstood you properly, your aim is to flash Miui ROM, right?
I'm not sure if you are rooted or even have access to CWM recovery.
Anyway, follow this instruction:
- You will need root access. If you have let me know.
- You will need CWM recovery. If you have, let me know.
- have you found your desired miui ROM? If yes, post the link to the Rom thread
- why do you want to flash an miui ROM, is it because it looks like an iPhone? If yes, there may be other alternatives.
Waiting for your response.

on Xda, you cannot ask for ROM recommendation. Questions like that go through PM. If you want me to recommend you any ROM, send me a PM.
My aim is to help you install/flash your desired Rom safely.

Don't know what you mean by international version, if you meant non-US version (use Samsung CPU instead of Qualcomm), many rooting methods and custom ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1685

If you have i9200 model, you may flash any of Europian or Taiwan/Indonesia ROM. Be careful with ROM for continental China. It have different pit structure.
Do not flash ROM for ATT and other North American operator.
Just simply if you see i9200 in ROM's name, you may flash it.
An remember - flashing non-oficial ROM, you may lose warranty.
PS: may you provide some screenshots with non-standard icons?
