A2SD/A2SD+ and D2W OP

FAQs GINGERBREAD

GENERAL MIUI

MIUI Roms came in one source, that's the HQ in China. Most only deodexed it. With that said, You are talking about a common rom.

Major issues are fix by the MIUI Team in China, every week the work is deodexing (mostly) and translating those APKs to English.

I don't really see why some debates over what rom is better over which.

Others just put flavor into the rom, customize a bit, put some apks here and there, put their APNs, but they are the same when it comes to the major things you'll need.

The effort is translating those apks, recompile, decompile, and many more you don't have to imagine, lol. So that differences lies in there somewhere depending on effort and dedication.

What's here is pushing the boundaries of MIUI A2SD with supplying alternatives, D2EXT X-PART and D2W

This make this ROM a unique source for all and other port of this rom. This comes directly from my friend atroy over @ MIUI.cn

Also you got to experience ALL Stock! No sh*t

TERMINOLOGIES

D2EXT X-PART = it's a data to ext rom which works on multiple partition, it will move the /data folder structure to ext, details in post# 3

D2W = short for data2whatever, it is melethrons code put in one of these rom, read post# 3

BASE FULL ROM = this is the flashable rom, it will have version number in filename depending on release

GLOBAL UPDATE = these files are what updates the base full rom, contains system apk and framework, it will be up depending on the translation fixes

GLOBAL UPGRADER (OTA) = these let's you upgrade from previous version to latest (e.g. 1.4.15 to 1.4.22). After this GLOBAL UPDATE still applies if there are GLOBAL UPDATES released

EN and ZH = short for English and Chinese, meaning my rom as well as all updates comes with these two languages

MULTI LANG = Multi Language, it is implemented in the Global Update as an option, this is not just locale, this update supports more than 10 languages

.MTZ extension files = These are usually themes that are made by users, devs and themers, usually place in /sdcard/miui/themes or any folder. Then it is applied in Theme manager app or via import from sd or using miui file explorer

Can i use all the full rom and flash some other language pack in other site?

A big YES, my rom is stock and it has the same structure as the original Chinese Rom or the Stock Deodexed Rom

Can i use MULTI LANG or EN + ZH in other MIUI ROMS?

YES, all my work are stock, i don't put anything into MIUI and my flashable updates except change everything to English and move the ZH (Chinese) to another translation

I change images to English, bootanimation to English + added a MIUI Weather clock, Fancy Widget Weather clock, LG Optimus Weather or any weather app that will pop up in the future

In fact, when you use another rom, you can flash my EN ZH updates or Multi Lang updates since i only put those APKs that comes with the Stock Rom
