Not to mention the fact that the MIUI guys are the reason we have FM Radio on the Nexus One!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick video showing you some of the features:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_XlBgnREyA0\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_XlBgnREyA0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Installation is real quick and easy too, simply head on over to <a href=\"http:\/\/miui-dev.com\/\">http:\/\/miui-dev.com<\/a> (Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s in english).<\/p>\n<p>Go to the Forums, then hit your applicable phone model. For me, it&#8217;s the Nexus One.<\/p>\n<p>From there, you want what&#8217;s probably the top two stickied threads. At the time of writing, these are:<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/miui-dev.com\/forums\/showthread.php?1180-MIUI-0.12.11-Deodexed-(Chinese)\">MIUI 0.12.11 Deodexed (Chinese)<br \/>\n <\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/miui-dev.com\/forums\/showthread.php?1181-Miui-0.12.11-n1-english-language-pack-1c\">Miui 0.12.11 n1 english language pack #1c<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Now once you&#8217;ve downloaded both of those to your phone, you wanna flash the Deodexed chinese ROM first, then immediately afterwards flash the English Language Pack.<\/p>\n<p>Restart, and you should be all good!<\/p>\n<p>I ran into issues at first with mine, an application was constantly crashing. Turns out I had to go into the Settings &#8211;&gt; Programs &#8211;&gt; Manage Applications &#8211;&gt; All, and clear the data for Settings and Settings Storage. As soon as I did that, it was fixed just fine \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, if you have troubles with parts of it not being in English, you may need to press Menu &#8211;&gt; Settings &#8211;&gt; System &#8211;&gt; Language &amp; Input Settings &#8211;&gt; Select Language &#8211;&gt; Set it to &#8220;English (United States)&#8221;. Mine was &#8220;English (New Zealand)&#8221; and parts of it were still in Chinese. Changing it then rebooting fixed that!<\/p>\n<p>If you run into troubles, let me know, I&#8217;ll do my best to help.
