If like me, you kept getting disconnected while downloading and have not yet successfully downloaded the ROM yet, do so here.
[UPDATE] have now created a mirror for the miuiandroid.com (UK) version, which is made for international users with most chinese elements removed. The original MIUI ROM does have English (instructions below) but still has a few Chinese ui creeping up here and there.

If you flashed the MIUI.com ROM first, it’s ok to just flash the MIUIAndroid.com version on top. Clear cache and dalvik and it should all work without a hitch. At least it does on my One X. [/UPDATE]

NOTE: the default language is Simplified Chinese but if you just follow these steps you’ll have English/other languages in no time:
Once the phone boots, tap the familiar looking Cog icon, bottom left on your Home screen (not dock)
there are now 2 tabs, click the right hand tab to display ALL settings
Scroll down to the 17th line (with the “A” icon)
Tap the first line and voila, options, options options.
Tap the Shopping bag icon (which is still in Chinese), and from there you can install the common google packages like Play store, Talk, Maps etc.
Now thank me if this helped you, and be sure to pass this on so others can get their copy.
