============================
====================================================
if you see any untranslated, chinese part/app or anything , please point out where or what app is it ,it would be best if you post a screenshot , so it can be translated.
thanks
====================================================
i know you guys may think it looks like MIUI , but i assure you it's totally different ROM nor MIUI-based modification , and if you have time , please read first pages of all these kind people's reports and feelings about this ROM.
what i think is , every and any ROM is like child to all of us in Android community , and please don't think it is bad or ugly or whatever negative expression you can think of , because nothing is perfect , as MIUI , it is now 71 weeks old , and this one is only 3 weeks old, and for now , MIUI 4.0 does have problems and bugs as well as this one, it has some problems or bugs, but that's how all ROM start, right ?
we are just like bunch of daddies (mommies) here , to help developer to raise (improve) thier child (ROM) , they need you help and report!

DX ROM introduction translated as requested (this translation almost got me killed -_-!!! be honest , i don't know what i am saying now...)
点心 (Dian Xin) in chinese, when put these 2 words together it means small food like cake or snack , in this case related with Android (cupcake, donut, eclair, froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb and ice cream sandwich), but , when separates them , the first word means "target" or "aim" , and second means "heart"
and put them together also can be explained "aimed/targeted your heart" (don't get me wrong , doesn't mean wanna shoot you )
it means design and make ROM to do/be what you want, what you prefer.
Based on ASOP 2.3.7 (4.0.3 for Nexus S)
Seek high quality, make it an useful, utility ROM
Take account of both users experience and performance, let users joy using thier device.
Product characteristic
Stable
many tester tested with no freeze problem.
Duration
smart battery-saving scenario makes phone more durable
many scenarios to bring new experience
Useful

This rom is NOT MIUI, nor is it based off of MIUI!!!!
Please take a bit to explore it, and you will find some awesome features unique to this rom/os.
some unique features include:
*The neat thing about this utility os, is that individual apps (contacts, launcher, ect) can be updated separately, and you are notified when thay are available, separately from the base os.
*Has tons of battery saving options.
*Beautiful ui
*Tons of options that make using this os a joy
*Make and restore backups of contacts, texts and phone, anytime, anywhere. From the cloud or your tab
*Very fast and super responsive
*select individual themes for each contact/message
*record your own alarm
*so very much more!!
