Sporting a fresh and vigorous look with its interface design, the official MIUI ROM provides a unique experience to users in contrast to other custom ROMs for Jelly Bean update.
The ROM also ports a rich feature set including integrated themes support (with access to hundreds of fan-made themes), privacy and security features, call optimisation and SMS features, and so on.
