Install Official MIUI 1.7.22 Gingerbread Based ROM On HTC Incredible S
Earlier we covered a guide on installing MIUI 1.7.8 on the Incredible S, but that was a mere port and nowhere near being an official release by MIUI developers. We can confirm that the official MIUI 1.7.22 ROM by MIUI.US has been released for the Incredible S! The device finally has official support, and if you’re wondering what’s all the fuss about, you may not be familiar with MIUI ROMs. You can see our guide on what is MIUI ROM for Android.
MIUI is one of the best AOSP ROMs around that offers tons of functionality with some nifty graphics while posing some seriously swift operations in an almost 100mb package. This latest release is based on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread and should be rock stable being the real official deal that it is. Apparently the ROM should work fine with no functionality broken. You can see a complete list of features check out the official changelog (not available anymore).
