MIUI-2.5.11 is like nothing Ive ever seen before.Why haven't I ever tried these roms.It looks absolutely fantastic. 
Thanks for the heads up.

So im finaly looking into Custom ROMs, im a bit bored of TW and i just want to experience Android4.0 ICS in its completely clean form, would any body be able to point me to a completely clean pure ICS ROM the way Google intended? I dont want any mods in it, just a clean install of ICS with everything working.
This is the only one ive been able to find but face unlock and video recording dont seem to be done:

I would recommend Cyanogenmod 9.Download
the latest nightly build from their website.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2
Its a nice small 120mb download.With what I saw everything
was working perfectly.Ive got a CWM backup just in case
this Miui rom doesnt work out but so far so good.
Ive tried to stick on the Samsung stock but after a
day of using it I just had to get rid of it.
Let me know what you finally flash.Im always keen
to try something new.

Thanks Hobbs,CM9 Nightlies seem to be the best option, soon as i finish exams i want to flash a new ROM, i think that might be the one!

And if you want the total opposite of CM9 and want to go customizing freaking crazy,then MIUI it is.

Awesome, thanks a mill Hobbs! 
I'll download both and decide, who knows, may just dig the MIUI one, i liked their UI in the GB and Froyo ROMs on the X10.

Samsung based MIUI is well... crap. Some parts cant be themed and it's sluggish. Wait until AdyScorpius is updated as it's AOSP based MIUI. I'm using Dragon ICS and it's perfect. |

Nothing wrong with my MIUI 2.5.11 rom.( Downloaded from the Miui website).Pretty happy with it.Not sluggish at all.Where did you download yours from? Do you have a link? I'm still pretty new to the world of MIUI but isn't Galnet part of the MIUI Scotland branch making the rom you installed an unofficial one?

This is the rom I'm using.Not that you can remember,but is it the same one.Is the Build and Kernel the same?
Ive tried many different combinations to work around the fact that this MIUI rom doesn't have an app draw.At first I found it strange but then realised you don't really need one.I've removed all homescreens but one.I have all my most used icons like Contacts,Messaging,Gmail,Whatsapp,Camera,Playstore,Zplayer.All my other app have gone into a folder called Apps.For a quick search of an app I just now use the Search icon.I have one widget which is the MIUI clock mainly there for quick access to set alarms.Nice,simple and clean.

One thing that is a major attraction to this rom is the fact that some things don't look anything like Android or Samsung.A good thing if the sight of both is starting to make you get itchy feet to look elsewhere.The gallery been a perfect example.

MIUI US or MIUI Android ROMs ont have gb localizations which is annoying, Galnet does. I used siyah kernel with DXLP9 baseband. Sadly all Sammy MIUI ROMs are based on DXLP7 FW which is old. Thats why Id rather have AOSP MIUI.
@Hobbs - yes, same build.
PS. The only official source of MIUI is MIUI.cn. The rest just translate the UI and apps + add things.
The ROM gets an update every Friday, hence 2.5.11 - May 11th

All major menus like your Dialpad,Phonebook,Messaging,the Notification drop down page ect now has this calm white background with orange lines and highlights.At least thats the way it looks with the default theme.I also found the Zegoe Light font in the Theme Manager that is used on the ZUNE.I've got font size on Huge in Settings.Only wish there was a Gigantic setting so I could get that WP look with HUGE text.Using Messaging as an example of white/orange background.
