Okay, as promised, this is the video for the DX Rom. If you notice, the video is a little jerky and some delays, but due to the high load on the phone cpu. The actual rom in the phone is smooth.
Enjoy.

if you see any untranslated, chinese part/app or anything , please point out where or what app is it ,it would be best if you post a screenshot , so it can be translated.
thanks
====================================================
i know you guys may think it looks like MIUI , but i assure you it's totally different ROM nor MIUI-based modification , and if you have time , please read first pages of all these kind people's reports and feelings about this ROM.
what i think is , every and any ROM is like child to all of us in Android community , and please don't think it is bad or ugly or whatever negative expression you can think of , because nothing is perfect , as MIUI , it is now 71 weeks old , and this one is only 3 weeks old, and for now , MIUI 4.0 does have problems and bugs as well as this one, it has some problems or bugs, but that's how all ROM start, right ?
we are just like bunch of daddies (mommies) here , to help developer to raise (improve) thier child (ROM) , they need you help and report!

=================================================================================
DX ROM introduction translated as requested (this translation almost got me killed -_-!!! be honest , i don't know what i am saying now...)
点心 (Dian Xin) in chinese, when put these 2 words together it means small food like cake or snack , in this case related with Android (cupcake, donut, eclair, froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb and ice cream sandwich), but , when separates them , the first word means "target" or "aim" , and second means "heart"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and put them together also can be explained "aimed/targeted your heart" (don't get me wrong , doesn't mean wanna shoot you )
it means design and make ROM to do/be what you want, what you prefer.
Based on ASOP 2.3.7 (4.0.3 for Nexus S)
Seek high quality, make it an useful, utility ROM
Take account of both users experience and performance, let users joy using thier device.
Product characteristic
Stable
many tester tested with no freeze problem.
Duration
smart battery-saving scenario makes phone more durable
many scenarios to bring new experience
Useful
quick, precise and interesting comunication, enjoy the phone
powerful device controller, daily use more easy and simple

This rom is NOT MIUI, nor is it based off of MIUI!!!!
Please take a bit to explore it, and you will find some awesome features unique to this rom/os.
some unique features include:
*The neat thing about this utility os, is that individual apps (contacts, launcher, ect) can be updated separately, and you are notified when thay are available, separately from the base os.
*Has tons of battery saving options.
*Beautiful ui
*Tons of options that make using this os a joy
*Make and restore backups of contacts, texts and phone, anytime, anywhere. From the cloud or your tab
*Very fast and super responsive

okay ... this is second week for i9100 ROM (first week was close-alpha test)
so ... think it somehow is understandable has some bugs
and , thanks , i will report back in

---

Feedback:
Installation was relatively quick... so that is a +1
The keyboard only allows US English and Chinese, so that needs to be amended for other languages.
Also if the ROM can be updated to ICS 4.03/4.04 for the Galaxy S2 that too would be a plus, as its only using 2.3.7
Not a bad ROM but needs some work before I will use it further. I will roll back in the meantime.

as this is based-on CM9 , so it's depending on when will CM9's ICS ROM be released.

wow excellent rom! very impressed thought it is very much like miui. no real difference.

getting boot loop
please help did a full wipe installed rom still gett9ng boot loop and cant even entr recovery mode even after trying to take out the battery n enter recovery mode ...
please help what to do ..
tried installing 2 times still getting boot loops

---

I thought CM9 type rooms were already available, given some of the other flavours we see here on the forum. I know or should I say I think MIUI are releasing those kinds of roms in beta form are they not?
Don't get me wrong, I like the ROM but it's needs a bit of work in it before I can say, yeah I want this!!

Try this...
Take out battery and SD CARD. Copy the ROM on there and reinsert along with battery, and cover. Hold down Volume up, middle button and then press power button. Should bring up recovery mode. In there wipe cache, system, data, and dalvik cache. Then install from zip file point to internal SD, and see if that works for you.
