Upgrading to MIUI

After the previous Romkitchen upgrade, a few things didn't work. It's taken this long to bother getting around to trying again.

• No Gallery app
• The SMS app force-closes pretty much immediately, had to install an alternate messaging app

Current:

• GT-I9000
• Firmware: 2.2.1
• Baseband: I9000TDVJH3
• Kernel: 2.6.32.9 hardcore@speedmod-k13d-500hz #22
• Build no.: FROYO.Rom Kitchen XWJSD

Setup:

• Disable 2-factor google auth
• Nuke shitty Kies software from PC in case I need to use Odin at some point

APNs:

• Telstra Internet - telstra.wap
• Telstra MMS - telstra.mms

Well here goes nothing:

• 3-button download
• connect to USB
• drivers installed (again? different USB port this time)
• ran Odin3 v1.7
• confirmed it shows "Added!!"
• Selected PDA file
• Checked "Phone Bootloader Update"

• Start ! (crossed fingers)

• The device reboots as advertised by Odin
• Boots to OS as usual, whoo! Now I should never need to do this again.

What's changed? Only the kernel, nothing else (as expected).

• Kernel: 2.6.32.9 hardcore@speedmod-k13e-500hz #36

Now flash it:

• Reboot to CWM
• Backup DATA
• Wipe all DATA
• Wipe Dalvik cache
• Apply from SD card
• Select it, hits Checking BML/MTD
• Reboots, new bootloader splashscreen mentioned Cyanogenmod
• Goes back to CWM, continues flashing
• Completes, reboots to MIUI automatically
• Initial setup wizard, connect to google account
• Running MIUI-109300

Syncing includes all your apps, so it's busily installing all my shit again. I guess that's okay.
