Okay, I am putting together a team of developers to work on MIUI for our Epic. I have a few dev's already on board and we would like as many as possible to work on it! If you are interested PLEASE reply to this thread or PM me. I've got an IRC set up and we'll make sure to make it a team effort!
First. Sorry iSaint...
is ahmgsk not working on it anymore?
I thought that there was one being worked on still is all.
... Edited: Sorry I went to his old thread on sense and someone said he moved on to another phone perhaps.
Im so willing to test if that helps

MiUi is built from source, right? If it wasn't, I might actually be able to help

Learning to be a dev takes a while because you need to develop skills that are necessary to code and such. Habits such as writing clean code and commenting out parts of code also need to be formed. I took an introductory comp. science course in college, but i haven't really practiced nor even attempted to look at developing for android as i know its a whole new world and i simply do not have the time to do it. But ladies and gentlemen, if you want to do it, nothing is stopping you, but just be sure that it is NOT easy and will take a couple of years or more until you are able to help with more than just bug testing unfortunately. And before anyone says that i am flaming or trolling, i am not, i am simply stating the truth and on top of that, I am in the same boat as you are, helpless to the devs. All I can do is donate some of my paycheck every now and then for exceptional work. I and we all owe it to these devs for making our phone work well and, as far as I'm concerned, they deserve it.
I would also love to help, but I just now started learning code on my "free" free time, its hard to remeber the format of the code,just that alone is a nightmare...
DOS was childs play compared to writing anything for android, I'm a pc guy,used to using windows UI or DOS back in the day when I was 14...

while we're on the topic, to what books are you referring ??
I'm definitely interested in some reading material.. while I can't help w/ coding and such (right now) I think it's a good time for me to get started reading and playing (on my device anyway)
I have tried MIUI
I honestly just dont care much for it it is built from its own source originally built in asia it is coded in I believe chinese and ported over to english and thus has been ported to different devices it was first ported to the og droid it is not built from aosp or any other android released source it is a ui built all its own.
A lot of people have been interested in getting MIUI on the Atrix and FRAMEWORK over at miui.us has stated that he has gotten some progress on this port but is stuck at the point of having no Atrix to test his port on. He is known for porting MIUI to multiple devices. FRAMEWORK said that if he got his hands on the device, it could take a few days to get a working port on our Atrix.
Anyone interested in donating to this dev getting his hands on a Atrix, post on the thread. From there, I guess he will have to set up a way to take the donations or we can put something together. Either ways, this is an awesome opportunity for Atrix users who want a polished and sleek looking ROM.
You have to start it with the necessary half of the phone cost, by XDA rules.

We pretty much have a stable cm7 if I'm not mistaken
Sent from my CM7 ATRIX via XDA Premium App
Our CM7 is stable but is missing camera functionality and few other things. But IMO its stable.. no reboots here
I personally do not think donation threads should be allowed in xda at all without proof of progress. I know he has ported to several devices already, but that is what the donations links on their website is for. I have also seen several threads like this raise hundreds of dollars to get a dev a device and they release one thing and support it for only a week or two and never hear from them again. Just my opinion, I'm not trying to insult anyone.
I tend to agree, donation threads just aren't right. We are moving towards paying devs more and more. at this rate, it will be I won't help unless i get paid this amount. Kinda what this thread is, isn't it. He can't\won't get it done unless somebody buys him a phone. We have done that already at least once here. Maybe that dev would offer up the phone already purchased to this dev so he can do his part, then he can pass it on to the next.....

I completely agree. These donation threads are getting a bit aggressive and we've already been burned once.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Now that I've read the last few comments, I realize I totally agree as well. When I first saw this thread, I voted Maybe So, because honestly I was like "Yeah, let's get this going so we can get MIUI ASAP!!" but now I'm realizing...it probably won't make it go any faster, and we will really probably have it VERY soon after a full CM7 is released (whenever that is...), and if people want to THEN they can start donating to the guy. But to donate before hand? I didn't realize until just now how foolish that could be!
As Atrix users, we've seen plenty of devs take the loot and then split, so it'd be risky to do that again.
Besides, I've seen on the MIUI site a thread that lists some devices they're working on, and the only things on the Atrix to do list that aren't there are Working CM7 and Working MIUI. I'll go look for a link and bring it back here if anyone wants it
i thought i saw a thread that someone was already working on a miui build

this is the thread you're looking for
The previous Atrix that was given to a dev was Koush, right?
Does framework NEED an atrix to finish porting? I mean I'd be willing to be a Guinea pig to help him on the parts where he needs to actually test it out...

Haha thanks, that saved me some time.
So yeah, I mean it should be said that this ALSO doesn't guarantee MIUI...but at least we know that we should wait for CM7 until anything should really be done.
And milesjohnson makes a good point...instead of buying someone a device for them to use as they see fit, he could perhaps just do the same coding and have others that already have their own device testing it or something.

That is good news. One would think that it would be convenient to own said device that you're developing for, but then again I'm no developer.

Hey hashcode I know you have many other projects going on, but I was wondering if there is any chance you would help out with the HTC amaze. I a, in the Georgia army national guard and would be willing to contribute at least 100 dollars seeing as I am being deployed here shortly. The source code was just released and I would kill for AOSP because I cannot stand sense. If not I understand. I just thought I would give it a shot seeing the great work you've done with the fire.
This is more appropriate for a PM.

No disrespect to Hashcode but I believe he has a different mobile device that he's producing for. And he's already pioneered change for the kindle fire, there are other devs that have worked on the Amaze and made great progress, like EclipzeRemix has made some awesome AOSP based ROMs for the Amaze. =] You should try them.

You can buy a book to help you. It's called: XDA Developers' Android Hacker's Toolkit: The Complete Guide to Rooting, ROMs and Theming
Hey guys, long time reader although never really posted much. Over the next few days I'll be getting my new phone in the mail and begin setting that up. I wondered what to do with this phone that has been made great thanks to the devs here. So I'd like to donate it to one of those devs who has put in a lot of hard work for the good of this community. I remember reading a while back that some of them only have photons and just change some code around. I figured it might help everyone out by donating to one of those guys. It's the least I can do considering I've been using ICS and JB since they came out thanks to everyone here, not Motorola lol. If anyone could suggest a dev or if one of you see this yourself just send me a pm. It might be a week or two but the phone is in great shape still! Thanks guys again for all the great work. Oh last thing, I'd prefer that you be in the US if possible just so the shipping isn't outrageous. Thanks!

I would recommend Th3Bill. He makes a bunch of ROMs for this community and doesn't even own an Atrix.
OK, I knew when I wrote that it was either him or joker that didn't have an Atrix. Thanks, I'll send him a pm.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
I was planning on doing the same thing with my Atrix once I get a Nexus 4. I actually live in the same city as Th3Bill.
Don't forget mmontuori. I was actually thinking of donating my second atrix to him since I'm in a skyrocket, but I believe he's outside the us? Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Us people who want to donate should definitely get together so we make sure all the awesome developers have an atrix to work with!

Joker doesn't have one either.
Don't forget epinter. He already has an Atrix but I'm sure he could do a lot more of his "magic" with a second one, specially if this one has a different tegrapart.
The only problem: epinter is from Brazil, but I'm not sure where he lives.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Let's also not forget mmontuori, he also has one already but now he's working on a new experimental ROM which he said is becoming increasingly more difficult since he needs his phone for normal everyday stuff too...
But anyway, I agree Th3Bill is probably the best candidate. Joker would be a good one too if he was still active, and to my knowledge all other devs have at least one already. Hmmm... maybe faux123 too? Dunno if he has one or is he even still interested in working for the Atrix...
May vote goes to mmontuori. He kindly ask for second Atrix

I'm giving my vote to Th3bill guys, he has like 5 ROMS for the Atrix, and he doesnt even have one! Major well done to him!
I know that Th3bill is good guy but with mvniekerk we may have a new kernel. Without new kernel, no one could make stable ICS/JB with hwa.

Everyone, try to think about who is the most deserving and what makes the most sense. Not what serves your own interests.
Shipping a used device to South Africa for mvniekirk doesn't make much sense. Shipping would probably cost more than the device is worth. You don't pay shipping on PayPal donations, so support him that way.
Joker is AWOL and has been for months. He is certainly worthy of the donation, but might not even use it.
So it really comes down to Th3Bill or mmontuori (since he requested one and is certainly worthy).
Either way, thanks peej8991 for being so generous.
