MIUI V5 by zxc123coke -Kernel 3.4.X [JB] [ION][Android 4.2.X Based on CM

ROM: MIUI V5 based on CM
Kernel: 3.4.X [Android 4.2.2 JB] [ION]

MIUI ROM is worked like an iphone but yet it is more flexible than iphone. It is a way like iphone but actually it is not 100% work like iphone. It can be a smooth and good ROM if all the bloatwares are removed and kernel 390MB is flashed into the ROM.

The download speed is slow so I suggest the user use some kind of downloader to increase the speed.

Warning: Flashing ROM will void your warranty. I do not responsible for any damage to your phone. Flash at your own risk.

Installation:

1. Download the ROM from XDA website.
2. Download the multi-lang package if you want to have more languages. (Default come with English and Chinese)
3. Download the kernel from this link. (If you want to change the kernel) - I recommend 390 MB UV
4. Download the "Advance setting fix flashable zip". (If you want the advance setting)
5. Download the Gapps from the CM 10.1..
6. Put all of the download into a folder and named it as MIUI V5 and transfer it into external SD card.
7. Boot into CWM.
8. Wipe system (Factory Reset)
9. Wipe data.
10. Wipe dalvik cache. (Remember dalvik cache is in the advance setting)
11. Flash the ROM.
12. Flash the multi-lang zip package (If you want more language)
13. Flash Kernel (If you want to change kernel)
14. Wipe data and dalvik cache.
15. Reboot the phone.
16. After setup, reboot into CWM again.
17. Wipe cache and dalvik.
18. Flash the Gapps.

MIUI is originated from China and thus there are a lot of bloatwares (side apps) in the ROM. Some of the apps cannot be used by us and thus it can be removed by using "Titanium backup" app from google play store.

Apps that can be removed:

1. AirkanPhoneService --- useless for us
2. AntiSpam.apk --- about Anti-disturb , if you don't need just remove
3. BaiduNetworkLcation.apk --- Baidu maps servers, can be remove
4. BugReport.apk --- useless for us
5. DataHubprovder.apk --- useless for us
6. GuardProvider.apk --- a guard app, if you don't need just remove
7. Stk.apk --- SIM card tool, if you don't need just remove
8. SuperMarket.apk --- MIUI Market , if you don't need just remove
9. Transfer.apk --- a app to transfer file to other user, if you don't need just remove
10. Updater.apk --- useless for us
11. Weather.apk ---if you don't need just remove
12. WeatherProvider.apk --- if you don't need just remove
13. XiaomiServiceFranework.apk --- if you don't use MIUI Account just remove

By removing all these apps, the ROM will work smoother and faster as some of the apps can consume lots of RAM in the phone. 

Q&A Section:

1. Can I use other kernel beside the recommended above?
• No, you can't. MIUI is very special ROM that you can only use the alternative kernels that are recommended by the creator of this ROM.
2. Where can I get more themes as the themes download from the original MIUI app is very slow.
• You can get it from the following XDA website.
• June Theme:
• July Theme
• August Theme
• September Theme
• October Theme

** Remember that you will need XiaoMI account to apply theme. So, you must not delete the xiaomi account app if you want to apply theme.
