New MIUI 4 for Galaxy S Supports Turkish, Hungarian, English & Korean

MIUI 4 for the Galaxy S i9000, based on Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 has been available for quite some time, and has received many different ports by many different developers. XDA modder lucainno has released another port of MIUI 4 for the Galaxy S, MIUI 4 SpeeD Multilanguage, and made it stand apart from the crowd by adding support for three extra languages, namely Turkish, Hungarian and Korean, making it the first MIUI ROM for the i9000 to do so.

Bear in mind though that MIUI is still under development and a work in progress, so expect bugs and issues to be present in the ROM. Even though it’s stable for everyday use, some bugs might show up here and there.

Read on to find out how out how you can flash MIUI 4 SpeeD ROM on your Galaxy S.
