Will Pay for MIUI Droid X

I'm willing to pay $25 to $30 for someone to port over the MIUI ROM over to the Droid X. I'd pay more if I could buy maybe others will chip in?
I can pay half up front but only if you're a well known developer with some reputation behind you. Let me know!

I have seen quite a few of these posts on varioius droid forums.
I would be interested in checking this out if it is ever done.
D.

definitely would love some MIUI on the DX

I'll bite, what is MIUI, and if its a ROM then hell yes I would be happy to put cash down.

miui rom
unfortunately this rom requires a custom kernel to run meaning the droid x boot loader would need to be cracked

A unlocked bootloader allows a custom kernel, in which we can use to make and compile very custom roms. For example, true AOSP, MIUI, and Cyanogenmod need a custom kernel to run.

Do you know how many hours that would take? Would take a lot more to get a well know developer to do that for 25 or 30 bucks

There are many ways to get around that issue. I looked at it and I think it can be done but I would need about another 48 hours in a day to even think about doing it

I can't believe no developers have made one yet. Am i missing something?

If I ever get a droid X i will port it to you guys free of charge.

Maybe you should see if people are willing to donate toward getting you a DX to develop it on. I've seen that work in the past. I was under the impression MIUI wouldn't really work with a locked bootloader, though.

well the milestone has a locked bootloader much like us and they have MIUI support
by the way here is the english forum site for MIUI www.miui-dev.com I think we need to be heard over there!!

If you ignore the horrible music, this rom looks pretty flippin sweet! I would definitely give it a try

Agreed. I know that at our current state(likely forever) we will not be able to truly mod the kernel as far as I know. I've spent the last 6 months in the DInc and fascinate forums(reason for not being sure) but currently the milestone does have MIUI support and I'm sure, that with the right developer we could to. There would be some things in the MIUI rom we would lose due to this, but would still be worth it as it is a truly great rom with a solid skin on top of it. Its lightweight, and it will fly. I would gladly pay for this as well. I can compile kernels and what not, and prolly throw a ROM together but porting the MIUI to a phone with a locked bootloader that does not, by design allow unsigned zips, I cannot do. I know we can flash zips in clockwork but the way I understand it, ALL of the ROMS available for the DX, are based off the stock kernel for sure, and likely the framework(this is where my knowledge or lack there of for the DX hurts) and are still somehow tied into blur. I could be wrong. Don't quote me on any specifics about the X, I just came back to it because it offers superior to the dinc by far, and still somewhat better than the fascinate. Again the difficult part of this would be thatbthe MIUI rom is a COMPLETE rebuild of android. I loved it on my dinc. I would pay $100 to have it ported SUCCESSFULLY. As I just got married and don't have time to learn a new phone.

Also, I saw the comment that the milestone has the locked BL, much like us. Your close. Its exactly like us. I don't know about encryption keys but wouldn't be surprised if it was the exact same key. Just saying. I don't know enough about this phone and the bootloader. But it sucks we got stuck with this. I would like to see the dx's full overclock potential. Not just the way we are doing it now. I think we are using modules. And that's not the same as compiling a built from source overclock compatible kernel .

I had a dinc for a little bit. I installed miui and immediately took it off. If I wanted a phone to look like an iPhone I would've bought an iPhone...

GoLauncher
You can try GoLauncher from the market. Very stable. Themable and you can have up to 30 homescreens in a miui-type setup. Take a look at it.

If you run the ADW launcher over MIUI, it is pretty awesome... I don't like the IOS look either, but the ROM itself is VERY slick.

Any Developer Interested in A Official Cyanogenmod Rom?

I noticed lately that the supported devices officially for cyanogenmod is getting bigger and bigger, so maybe one of you guys can talk to cyanogen bout joinin his team.. i remember from his website he had this to say recently:
"A lot of people ask me about adding support for their phone, but we can only support phones that we actually own. The CM team is always looking for new hackers to join up with us to add support for their favorite device. Get in touch with me if you’d like to help."
I know that there is roms pretty much quality and as up to date as an official cyanogenmod, but these roms are only limited by the website its on. unfortunately not everyone knows about xda (shocking thought, since im on here daily).
i hope the big devs for the eris reads this, for im sure its a good idea.....

Honestly the Roms that get handed out here are better than Cyanogen in that the people that make them implement their own tweaks inside the core of the rom that make them better. I personally WOULD use an official Cyanogen rom because who knows maybe its more stable and all, but still.

Since he already plays the role with his kernel and vendor tree, I vote for Canop
Canop for Cyanogenmod!
Sent from my Eris using XDA App

I vote Conap too! lol
I'm not really sure of much added benefit from "official" cm releases other than the ability to flash a nightly build every day. Most of the devs build their rom directly from cm source or port the nightles. With the way it is now you have a choice of many custom cm roms whereas some devices with "official" cm support only have the cm release.
Sent from my nonsensikal froyo

I've wondered about this too, but like others have said... We are probably better off the way it is now or at least not any worse off. The Hero builds are relatively easy to port and building from source has been worked out pretty well, so it doesn't really matter if we have an 'official' one.

+1 for Conap.
I would like to see an official build.

I vote for Conap, gnarlyc, SikYou & me... let's take over the world guys!!! lmao
btw... Conap's rom... Sik's rom... My rom... are basically Pure CM already

the whole point of having it officially done is to not only have a way wider audience, but also to have all the setup for anyone to compile.. it really opens up the development of a device...

Wider audience? There are only 8 of us that still own the eris and 4 of us are upgrading in January lol

voted for 5 day ago, hope to se offitical Miui v4

I'm quoting from facebook : "the devices to get MIUI V4 should meet the basic conditions: a. With ICS 4.0 from the original factory b. RAM≥512M c. ROM≥1G Those devices who can't meet the above conditions will not get MIUI v4. " ... So our HD2 had come from factory with WM6.5, by hardware let's put it in the same basket as desire, so Android 2.1 (from factory). B. RAM size is manageable I think but C. ROM is half of the requested. I'm looking forward to that though. I voted for HD2

ROFL!! But then I'd be lenient for a couple of day or a week if I were you - it's for a cause.
On a side note, why wont CM team support HD2? The HP Touchpad is not a native Android device, but yet is on the list. Our beloved phone runs CM7 as good as any native device, and CM9 is pretty stable too!

ParanoidAndroid for the TF101

Any thoughts on if you guys would want it? I know I do!!
I have been trying the past few days to make a port from source but I don't know how to code and the code wont fully download.
If anybody else wants to try, please do cause I really want it ParanoidAndroid on my device here.

My limited knowledge of Paranoid Android leads me to ask - why do you want it on the Tf?
Isn't it designed to give a tablet like experience on phones?
As well made as it is, I wasn't overly keen on the whole tiny u.i on my sgs2.
Otherwise I'm not sure what we would be missing out on.

Application-specific DPI settings would make me one happy panda.

Yes - dock is supported... Well, at least it was working for me last night... Don't have a large SD card to test on it, but it should work (as i'm using the same device tree as others)...
As stated earlier, this is my first proper build (running a CM10 build on my phone, not released though). It would be nice to get others to help, at the moment, ADB doesn't work, everything I have tested is working, including Paranoid Settings... None of my builds seems to have ADB, so i do need to look into that!
As there seems to be enough interest, I think I will open a thread later - will link to it here though so you can all see it!

Idea for 3.x Kernel

hello,
i posted it in the ICS update thread:
Hey, silly question, i know, think it would be asked many times.
i wanne opend a new thread at dev, but i cant't to less comments --_--
now, we know, we never get a 3.X kernel from moto, so, we must help us at our own, i asked me, how?
my idea was, what abei the LG P990, i heard, there are 3.x kernel, no officiel, i know.
What are the hardware differences at the LG and the atrix? fingerprint and camera, i know, but what about the rest?
it it identicly? is it possible, that we can work with it? at beginning, without camera and fingerprint?
perhaps we found an other device with an identicly camera and 3.x kernel, perhaps we can look in a direction like that? only moto bashing wont help anyway
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i hope any dev get give informations to me?

the developers already know that moto left us behind..
they're talking about it and what they are going to do??..just the time will tell us...we have to wait hehe
I'm not a developer but sometimes i asked then about start the work from some other similar device's kernel (same that you're suggesting here)..they told that it's an idea but should be necessary a massive rewriting...so it's not easy and they will need time even if the device is similar..

thats the point, i think we don't have any other chance, similar devices kernel, or from scratch, the second is the option which needs more time, i think
i wanne call me a developer, nothing in comparsion with our big ones but i would like to help your devs and i think, i'm not the only one, but i don't know how - i know that is many work and needs massive rewriting, but it's our only option.
i only hope some devs would found together and can say, how we, the, i wanne call it "non-kernel-hackers" , can help.

Anyway, i think that our best chances is to raise a found, by donating, and offer it as a bounty for the first dev to create a 3.x kernel for our device. We might find someone that way. Create that kernel takes lots of time and skills. Very very few people are willing to invest all the time required for free.

I too have sent Hashcode a message asking for possible assistance. I told him we would be willing to donate to the cause.

If you can organise a decent fund/development device, I'd recommend contacting TripNRaVeR. He has experience porting the vanilla 3.1.10 Tegra kernel code to a new device (the One X, which shipped with 2.6.39) hence he's probably already halfway there with knowing where to go next. It looks like LG and Sammy have ditched DVFS in their 3.1.10 releases on the Galaxy R and O2X, which would be nice (using standard governors )
