How to Install New Captivate MIUI ROM, MyUI Euphoria

New custom ROMs seem to keep coming and coming for the Samsung Captivate (and other Galaxy S variants). MyUI Euphoria is a new MIUI based custom ROM for the Captivate, based on Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0. MIUI, as you probably know, brings a completely different experience to Android, with its unique UI and great looks. MyUI Euphoria also contains Aroma Installer, an installer that lets you customize some aspects of the ROM before installing it on your phone.

According to the developer, everything in the ROM works (except for OTA updates and in some cases, the Play Store/Market, fixes for which are on the way), so it’s totally usable as a daily ROM.
