Version Details:

[Aroma Version]

Its the Big Daddy of all the other versions and the most ideal version to install for a person who knows what he is doing. It contains almost everything MIUI has to provide along with all the other Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes, Addons, Applications, Kernels, Bootanimations, Glass Apps, Google Apps, Bloatware Removal Script, Undervolting Options etc. The main thing that makes the Aroma Version perfect is that everything in the Installer is optional for the user to install, He/She can either install everything or nothing for a clean install.

[Stripped Version]

Stripped Version should be chosen by those who either have low speeds or tarrif but still want to enjoy the ROM or ofcourse the ones who hate installing something using Aroma. The Stripped Version contains All the Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes but Kernels, Bootanimations, Glass Apps, Google Apps are limited to only few required ones. It does not have any undervolting script pre installed but all the Bloatware is already removed from it. If someone wants to install something from the Aroma Version He/She should download the Addons Pack and if someone wants any of the deleted apps that were deleted while the Bloatware Removal, He/She can get them from the Official Port or from Aroma Version or from any of the previous releases that he has already downloaded and can extract the apps from.

[Minimal Version]

Minimal Version is a new version which has been specially optimized keeping the following things in consideration:
  • Lowest Possible Size
  • Battery Friendly
  • More and More Free RAM
  • All the Possible Bloatware Removed
  • No Additional Apps (Except the Most Required ones)
  • Optimized for best Performance, Speed and Smoothness
  • Etc ++

The Minimal Version contains All the Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes but Only one Kernel and Bootanimation, No Glass Apps and No Google Apps Except Google Play Store. It does not have any undervolting script pre installed but all the Bloatware is already removed from it. If someone wants to install something from the Aroma Version He/She should download the Addons Pack and if someone wants any of the deleted apps that were deleted while the Bloatware Removal, He/She can get them from the Official Port or from Aroma Version.

This Version is Ideal for those who like a very very clean Install and like to customize and add everything exactly What and How they want. The only things left out in the Minimal Version are the Core Apps without which you would loose the entire feel of MIUI and without them there would be no pleasure in installing it.

[Nano Version]

Nano Version is a Derivative of Minimal Version but with several core changes. It is Optimized and Streamlined to 500 MB Free RAM and a Super Smooth User Experience. The main target behind releasing this version was to provide the users with a Pre-Customized and a Pre-Optimized Version of the ROM. In other words, Instead of releasing a Flashable Zip, This time I have chosen to release a TWRP Recovery Image (Nandroid Backup) of the ROM which was made on my own device that already has all the Settings, Overclock, Governer, A Pre Configured and Optimized Launcher, A Few Pre Installed Apps, Hardcore Bloatware Removal and Heavy Streamlining and Lots More. So Now, The Users won't have to Download - Flash - Configure Settings - Restore Stuff - Etc again and again for every new ROM or Update that is Released, They can just Restore this Nandroid Backup (Using any TWRP Recovery) and Go Straight ahead to Restoring their Own Stuff which will save them a lot of time and efforts. IMO This Recovery will be the Smoothest and the Fastest MIUI you have ever used on your phone.

Installation: (TWRP Version)

  1. Download the Recovery to your Computer and Extract it.
  2. Copy the Extracted files to SDCard >> TWRP >> Backup >> BX######## >> HERE <<
  3. Install a Kernel With TWRP Recovery or Install TWRP Recovery Itself.
  4. Reboot to Recovery.
  5. Tap on Restore and then Select iHackers [MIUI v5] v#.# [Nano] and Start the Restore Process.
  6. When Restore is Finished, Tap on Reboot Button and Enjoy.

Installation: (Flashable Zip Version)

  1. Download and Copy The Rom To SD Card.
  2. Reboot to Recovery.
  3. Install Zip From SDCard > Choose Zip From SDCard > Install
  4. Follow The Instructions on the Aroma Installer or Wait for the Installation to Finish on Stripped Version
  5. Reboot.
  6. As Soon As Checking SD Card for Errors has finished, Tap on Import Settings Icon on the Homscreen and Select Nano v x.x.

[Multilang Version]

The Multilang Version is basically the Aroma Version with Multiple Languages in it. Later on if some one requests I could release the Multilang Versions for Stripped and Minimal Versions too. Currently The Languages that are included in the Multilang Version are English, Chinese, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Slovak, Czech, French, Hungarian, Danish, Dutch, German, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Norwegian, Hebrew, Vietnamese, Korean, Indonesian, Brazilian Portuguese and Turkish.

Installation:

  1. Download and Copy The Rom To SD Card.
  2. Reboot to Recovery.
  3. Install Zip From SDCard > Choose Zip From SDCard > Install
  4. Follow The Instructions on the Aroma Installer or Wait for the Installation to Finish on Stripped Version
  5. Reboot.
  6. When The ROM has been Installed and Booted, Open Locale More Pro App from the Launcher and Select Your Preferred Language.

[Official Port]

This version is the Untouched Official yet Unofficial Port by MIUI China Porting Team. It does not have anything either Included or Excluded or even Remotely Touched by either Me or Anyone else on Xperia S Android Development. All the credits and thanks go to them for keeping MIUI still alive for our Xperia S which almost died when Xiaomi decided to abbandon the Development for Xperia S.

[Addons Pack]

The Addons Pack has everything in the Aroma Version except the ROM itself. It is being provided only for Stripped and Minimal Versions because they do not have anything from Aroma Version included in them. So, In case if someone wants to install something from Aroma Version, He/She should use the Addons Pack and as its based on Aroma to, so naturally He/She will have all the options with what to install and what not. This Pack will not only work with my ROM, or any other MIUI ROM alone, it will work with all the ROMs and for any device.

Notes:

divider.png



  • This ROM is for Unlocked Bootloaders Only.
  • Work on This ROM is Currently In Progress, You will see further Improvements as the ROM moves in its further Development Stages. This ROM is originally built by MIUI China Team and All the credits go to them.
  • In Case You Face Proximity Sensor Issues, Follow these two steps. Step 1: Install and configure Proximity Sensor Calibration from Market. Step 2: Install and configure Tasker / Automateit Pro / Proximity Screen Off Pro. Let me know if you can't get the apps.
  • In Case You Face Brightness Issues, use Disable Auto Brightness or Velis AutoBrightness App or Flash This.
  • In Case You are Unable to Install the ROM, Whether the Aroma Installer finishes in a flash back, or It does not start at all or Unable to Mount System or Data, Follow these Steps: Use This Flashable Zip or Flash This Kernel and then flash the ROM from the CWM Recovery available in the Kernel. You can enter the Recovery by pressing Volume Up Button again and again as soon as you see Sony Boot Logo. I have also corrected the USB Storage Mount Problem in this recovery. So, in case you face any problems, you can mount your Internal SD Card as USB Storage from within the recovery at the time of flashing.
  • In Case You have Offline Charging Issues or You Feel that the Nova Kernel is Unstable or You Face Any Kernel Related Problems at all, Flash This For Installing Default MIUI Kernel or Flash This For Installing Nova Kernel Again.
  • The Default Clock for Nova Kernel is set at 1.1 GHz for "certain" issues, SetCPU, Kernel Tuner, Antutu CPU Master and No-Frills CPU Control are included in the ROM, For Best Results Either Use Kernel Tuner, or any CPU Control App from the Market or from the ROM and Set the max freq to 1.728 GHz (Both CPU Cores), Intellidemand, SIO and Setup Profiles for Screen-Off and Low Battery for more Battery Savings.
  • In Case You are either fedup, are having problems or don't like the Default Launcher, but you still want to maintain the feel of MIUI in your launcher, You can try any of the Included Launchers along with MIUI X5 HD Apex/Nova/ADW Theme as Icon Theme and Iconset already included in the ROM.
  • If Anyone Have Problems With WIFI Region Code, Download WifiManager, Install it and Give it Root Permissions.
  • Please Do Mention all the Bugs and the Problems you face During the Installation Process or after the ROM has been installed. This will help me to improve and make it better with next releases. I would also like to request you to share your experience after using this ROM, Your Suggestions for the Improvement of the ROM will be greatly appreciated. Also If you feel that I should Include/Exclude any App/Mod/Tweak in the ROM, Let me know.
  • Choose Undervolting Wisely, It can cause random reboot issues, If thats not an issue for you then undervolting could be the best thing you would do for improving your phone's battery life.
  • Bloatware Removal is only suggested for the users who face RAM issues with this ROM, Don't just select all of them altogether first consider knowing what the apps that you are removing are actually for and whether it would be beneficial or harmful or problematic to remove them. Per App Details are mentioned in the Aroma Installer.

    Version Details:

    divider.png



    [Aroma Version]

    Its the Big Daddy of all the other versions and the most ideal version to install for a person who knows what he is doing. It contains almost everything MIUI has to provide along with all the other Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes, Addons, Applications, Kernels, Bootanimations, Glass Apps, Google Apps, Bloatware Removal Script, Undervolting Options etc. The main thing that makes the Aroma Version perfect is that everything in the Installer is optional for the user to install, He/She can either install everything or nothing for a clean install.

    [Stripped Version]

    Stripped Version should be chosen by those who either have low speeds or tarrif but still want to enjoy the ROM or ofcourse the ones who hate installing something using Aroma. The Stripped Version contains All the Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes but Kernels, Bootanimations, Glass Apps, Google Apps are limited to only few required ones. It does not have any undervolting script pre installed but all the Bloatware is already removed from it. If someone wants to install something from the Aroma Version He/She should download the Addons Pack and if someone wants any of the deleted apps that were deleted while the Bloatware Removal, He/She can get them from the Official Port or from Aroma Version or from any of the previous releases that he has already downloaded and can extract the apps from.

    [Minimal Version]

    Minimal Version is a new version which has been specially optimized keeping the following things in consideration:
    • Lowest Possible Size
    • Battery Friendly
    • More and More Free RAM
    • All the Possible Bloatware Removed
    • No Additional Apps (Except the Most Required ones)
    • Optimized for best Performance, Speed and Smoothness
    • Etc ++

    The Minimal Version contains All the Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes but Only one Kernel and Bootanimation, No Glass Apps and No Google Apps Except Google Play Store. It does not have any undervolting script pre installed but all the Bloatware is already removed from it. If someone wants to install something from the Aroma Version He/She should download the Addons Pack and if someone wants any of the deleted apps that were deleted while the Bloatware Removal, He/She can get them from the Official Port or from Aroma Version.

    This Version is Ideal for those who like a very very clean Install and like to customize and add everything exactly What and How they want. The only things left out in the Minimal Version are the Core Apps without which you would loose the entire feel of MIUI and without them there would be no pleasure in installing it.

    [Nano Version]

    Nano Version is a Derivative of Minimal Version but with several core changes. It is Optimized and Streamlined to 500 MB Free RAM and a Super Smooth User Experience. The main target behind releasing this version was to provide the users with a Pre-Customized and a Pre-Optimized Version of the ROM. In other words, Instead of releasing a Flashable Zip, This time I have chosen to release a TWRP Recovery Image (Nandroid Backup) of the ROM which was made on my own device that already has all the Settings, Overclock, Governer, A Pre Configured and Optimized Launcher, A Few Pre Installed Apps, Hardcore Bloatware Removal and Heavy Streamlining and Lots More. So Now, The Users won't have to Download - Flash - Configure Settings - Restore Stuff - Etc again and again for every new ROM or Update that is Released, They can just Restore this Nandroid Backup (Using any TWRP Recovery) and Go Straight ahead to Restoring their Own Stuff which will save them a lot of time and efforts. IMO This Recovery will be the Smoothest and the Fastest MIUI you have ever used on your phone.

    Installation: (TWRP Version)

    1. Download the Recovery to your Computer and Extract it.
    2. Copy the Extracted files to SDCard >> TWRP >> Backup >> BX######## >> HERE <<
    3. Install a Kernel With TWRP Recovery or Install TWRP Recovery Itself.
    4. Reboot to Recovery.
    5. Tap on Restore and then Select iHackers [MIUI v5] v#.# [Nano] and Start the Restore Process.
    6. When Restore is Finished, Tap on Reboot Button and Enjoy.

    Installation: (Flashable Zip Version)

    1. Download and Copy The Rom To SD Card.
    2. Reboot to Recovery.
    3. Install Zip From SDCard > Choose Zip From SDCard > Install
    4. Follow The Instructions on the Aroma Installer or Wait for the Installation to Finish on Stripped Version
    5. Reboot.
    6. As Soon As Checking SD Card for Errors has finished, Tap on Import Settings Icon on the Homscreen and Select Nano v x.x.

    [Multilang Version]

    The Multilang Version is basically the Aroma Version with Multiple Languages in it. Later on if some one requests I could release the Multilang Versions for Stripped and Minimal Versions too. Currently The Languages that are included in the Multilang Version are English, Chinese, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Slovak, Czech, French, Hungarian, Danish, Dutch, German, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Norwegian, Hebrew, Vietnamese, Korean, Indonesian, Brazilian Portuguese and Turkish.

    Installation:

    1. Download and Copy The Rom To SD Card.
    2. Reboot to Recovery.
    3. Install Zip From SDCard > Choose Zip From SDCard > Install
    4. Follow The Instructions on the Aroma Installer or Wait for the Installation to Finish on Stripped Version
    5. Reboot.
    6. When The ROM has been Installed and Booted, Open Locale More Pro App from the Launcher and Select Your Preferred Language.

    [Official Port]

    This version is the Untouched Official yet Unofficial Port by MIUI China Porting Team. It does not have anything either Included or Excluded or even Remotely Touched by either Me or Anyone else on Xperia S Android Development. All the credits and thanks go to them for keeping MIUI still alive for our Xperia S which almost died when Xiaomi decided to abbandon the Development for Xperia S.

    [Addons Pack]

    The Addons Pack has everything in the Aroma Version except the ROM itself. It is being provided only for Stripped and Minimal Versions because they do not have anything from Aroma Version included in them. So, In case if someone wants to install something from Aroma Version, He/She should use the Addons Pack and as its based on Aroma to, so naturally He/She will have all the options with what to install and what not. This Pack will not only work with my ROM, or any other MIUI ROM alone, it will work with all the ROMs and for any device.

    Notes:

    divider.png



    • This ROM is for Unlocked Bootloaders Only.
    • Work on This ROM is Currently In Progress, You will see further Improvements as the ROM moves in its further Development Stages. This ROM is originally built by MIUI China Team and All the credits go to them.
    • In Case You Face Proximity Sensor Issues, Follow these two steps. Step 1: Install and configure Proximity Sensor Calibration from Market. Step 2: Install and configure Tasker / Automateit Pro / Proximity Screen Off Pro. Let me know if you can't get the apps.
    • In Case You Face Brightness Issues, use Disable Auto Brightness or Velis AutoBrightness App or Flash This.
    • In Case You are Unable to Install the ROM, Whether the Aroma Installer finishes in a flash back, or It does not start at all or Unable to Mount System or Data, Follow these Steps: Use This Flashable Zip or Flash This Kernel and then flash the ROM from the CWM Recovery available in the Kernel. You can enter the Recovery by pressing Volume Up Button again and again as soon as you see Sony Boot Logo. I have also corrected the USB Storage Mount Problem in this recovery. So, in case you face any problems, you can mount your Internal SD Card as USB Storage from within the recovery at the time of flashing.
    • In Case You have Offline Charging Issues or You Feel that the Nova Kernel is Unstable or You Face Any Kernel Related Problems at all, Flash This For Installing Default MIUI Kernel or Flash This For Installing Nova Kernel Again.
    • The Default Clock for Nova Kernel is set at 1.1 GHz for "certain" issues, SetCPU, Kernel Tuner, Antutu CPU Master and No-Frills CPU Control are included in the ROM, For Best Results Either Use Kernel Tuner, or any CPU Control App from the Market or from the ROM and Set the max freq to 1.728 GHz (Both CPU Cores), Intellidemand, SIO and Setup Profiles for Screen-Off and Low Battery for more Battery Savings.
    • In Case You are either fedup, are having problems or don't like the Default Launcher, but you still want to maintain the feel of MIUI in your launcher, You can try any of the Included Launchers along with MIUI X5 HD Apex/Nova/ADW Theme as Icon Theme and Iconset already included in the ROM.
    • If Anyone Have Problems With WIFI Region Code, Download WifiManager, Install it and Give it Root Permissions.
    • Please Do Mention all the Bugs and the Problems you face During the Installation Process or after the ROM has been installed. This will help me to improve and make it better with next releases. I would also like to request you to share your experience after using this ROM, Your Suggestions for the Improvement of the ROM will be greatly appreciated. Also If you feel that I should Include/Exclude any App/Mod/Tweak in the ROM, Let me know.
    • Choose Undervolting Wisely, It can cause random reboot issues, If thats not an issue for you then undervolting could be the best thing you would do for improving your phone's battery life.
    • Bloatware Removal is only suggested for the users who face RAM issues with this ROM, Don't just select all of them altogether first consider knowing what the apps that you are removing are actually for and whether it would be beneficial or harmful or problematic to remove them. Per App Details are mentioned in the Aroma Installer.

The only things left out in the Minimal Version are the Core Apps without which you would loose the entire feel of MIUI and without them there would be no pleasure in installing it.

    [Stripped Version]

    Stripped Version should be chosen by those who either have low speeds or tarrif but still want to enjoy the ROM or ofcourse the ones who hate installing something using Aroma. The Stripped Version contains All the Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes but Kernels, Bootanimations, Glass Apps, Google Apps are limited to only few required ones. It does not have any undervolting script pre installed but all the Bloatware is already removed from it. If someone wants to install something from the Aroma Version He/She should download the Addons Pack and if someone wants any of the deleted apps that were deleted while the Bloatware Removal, He/She can get them from the Official Port or from Aroma Version or from any of the previous releases that he has already downloaded and can extract the apps from.
