Install MIUI Jelly Bean on Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

After CM 10 being released on the SL i9003 more good news is here for its users. MIUI is now available for the SL i9003. It's not an official release but it is a modified version of CM 10. The CM 10 used here was the same stuff that was used by dhiru in releasing the Jelly Bean CM 10 for SL i9003 which we covered earlier. The ROM is supposed to be stable although I haven't tested it out yet. It is only having two problems that is with the Media Playback and Bluetooth. But besides those two bugs it should be smooth.

MIUI ROM has always been a personal favorite ROM because of the great design and the constant releases of great custom icon packs and stuff. Without much more talk about the Jelly Bean based MIUI ROM for the SL i9003 let us get into the installation procedure for the ROM.
