Overview

This is another great custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy Gio, i try to install / flash it on mine and it give me good result. MIUI is one of the most popular Android ROMs in the world. It is Android-based, featuring a more comfortable user experience and robust theme selection.
MIUI does not design for Samsung Galaxy Gio so we must use unofficial release that support our device. On XDA there is a lot MIUI porting, one of them is [MIUI][AOMP][2.4.20]MIUI Gingerbread Final[02/09/2012] by Franklin96. Today i will give you information what you need about these ROMs.
