Official MIUI ROM for Samsung GALAXY Nexus Now Available for Download

The first MIUI ROM for Samsung Galaxy Nexus has just been released online and is now available for download. 

Although it’s still in beta, this ROM is less laggy than last week’s version. However, don’t expect it to be as smooth as ICS builds officially released by Google. One of the most popular custom ROMs for Android devices, MIUI is also known for its stylish look. 

The latest ROM for Galaxy Nexus, which was developed by RootzWiki forum user leech, does not feature an app drawer, but those who are not content with this fact can go ahead and install Nova launcher or anything else instead.

Another alternative would be to simply put all applications into a folder and place the folder on the dock, so that when the folder is opened, users would be able to access any apps placed there. 

Even though many Android tech-savvy consider this ROM too laggy to be used on a daily basis, in the end it’s just a matter of taste. 

The developer also notes that the new MIUI ROM for Galaxy NEXUS doesn’t have such “a horrible amount of lag were it couldn’t be used as a daily driver since I have actually used it as a daily driver for over two weeks. Well got to take the good with the bad.”

To flash this MIUI ROM for Samsung Galaxy Nexus, simply download and copy the .zip file on an SD card and boot the phone in recovery mode. 

Make sure to create a backup and then factory reset the Galaxy Nexus. Install .zip from SD card and let the phone reboot in order to be able to use the custom MIUI ROM.
