If you havent heard yet our friend N_I_X has decided to pass on the porting and fixing of MIUI for the INC. to another developer. I am posting this without his permission but based on his posts he is willing to partial assist and release his "notes" on MIUI to whoever is intersted in taking it on. I know there is alot of people that love this ROM but as of yet there has been no one that has contacted him willing to step up.
I am posting this becuase i really enjoying running this rom and would still like to see updates for it. { warning} from what N_I_X has said is it can be frustrating at times because of not having source and also language barrier..
Please if you are interested in taking over let us know or if you are interested in seeing someone take over second my notion for it that why interested devs will see the interest on our part... I have faith in the INC community that we will find someone. Thank you! ***** Hopefully this is the right section if not please move****and I apologize
good luck.. it's a good rom, but def needs more support
Considering taking a look..with a baby on the way I'm not sure if I have the time though.

this has been my daily and I'd be very sad to see it stop getting updates/improvements ... if I knew how to, I would pick it up. I hope someone does.
Let's petition nix for one more update. Encore nix! Encore!!

bcparker over at sdx-developers has created a simply amazing samsung moment theme called minimal elegance. Anyone interested in porting it? I tried using some of the autoporting scripts with no luck so far.
I'd post a link but I don't have permission yet... haven't been a member of the forum long enough.

I'm very sorry you had a poor experience. My quick search didn't find the issues you referred to, but I have seen instances of members acting ungrateful in the ROM/customization community, and it upsets me every time. The developers are creating all this and giving it to the users for free. There's no reason for complaints. If I don't like something, I simply don't use it. I still appreciate someone took the time to give me another option. If that wasn't your experience I apologize on behalf of everyone involved. Much thanks for what you did contribute before you were convinced otherwise.

look in my themes thread. also look in the baked snack thread where it all started.
not everyone is like you and expect everything for free. use devolpers do this has a hobby and dont ask for a dime. yes we have donation links but we dont force you to donate to use are product. ive s[ent well over 30 hours alone working on my theme and thats with the help i recived from others. why should i continue my work if people are going to be un gratefull about it
does look pretty
Devs, n00bs, seniors, everyone. Please calm down.
N00bs..read before you post. This is a big cause to recent drama. I read a thread today and the same question was asked and answered on like3 straight pages... this is not called for.
Devs please consider the level of readiness before posting a Rom. My fav developer makes his Rom as close to bug free by having about 10 guys test the Rom before he releases it. Doing this would cut back on n00b questions and stupid posts. I love all you work this is just an idea.
Everyone else please don't fight and make things worse. Help the n00bs with links to forum rules and such.
I make all these mistakes too. But we need to fix it. We are losing our community.

I'll add to this a bit if you don't mind. Any noobs feel free to pm me whatever the question may be and I will try to help. There is no sense starting a new thread because 99%of the time the question has been answered and i honestly I like to help. I don't have time to develop so this is my attempt to give back to a community I got a lot out of. I may not have your answer but will most likely be able to send you in the right direction and knipp is extremely helpful and knowledgeable as well. I personally don't care but don't post a thread like help plz I bricked my phone in the dev section unless you have a pair of flame retardant pants. Look bottom line is I'm here to help if anyone needs it

This. It's extremely refreshing when a dev spends good time creating a ROM for a phone. It's nice to be handed a ROM that has been tested and is essentially bug free. I praise the guys that do that, and the guys that stick to their work. Doing it for fun rather than for money.
Of course I'm not expecting a good ROM to fall into our laps, I do like to follow projects from start to finish just as long as the dev(s) are working solely on that project - Like Cyanogen.
I agree about posting ROMs that are fully tested.. but then only 10 or so get to enjoy the ROM until it's stable. It's nice having everyone give feedback because 100 testers is better than 10. But I 100% agree with you, we need to get this community back on track, and we as users can help indefinitely.
We need to remember, not too long ago we we n00bs. I didn't even know what an .apk was. Now I know how to edit and decompile .apks.
Let's help to make this a fun and sharing community again.

Ok guys, Samsung is not updating our phone to ICS. We hate this choice, but we can't help it.
Everyone is waiting for arco68 and the ICS porting, that is gonna be awesome but isn't here yet.
All I see around here is whining and questions, but no one lifts a finger to push this community: no one cares to see how to port mods, themes, and all kind of things that make Android interesting: if I wanted a closed source phone I'd have bought an iPhone and let it be as it came out of the box.
So PLEASE guys: the next time you come here to beg on the "cm9 build thread", instead look on XDA, read guides, try something, DO SOMETHING. If you don't know how to, ASK! If you don't manage, post here, we'll see what we can do to help.
There is no need to be a developer or know about code: you'll find tons of step-by-step guides all over XDA that will teach you.
We can't keep always asking. It's time to ACT!

Guys....
I think there is just over-enthusiasm and some impatience.....
perhaps, as a 58 yr-old enthusiast, I have done whatever I could in the way of advice and some experience in IT and Telco...
but young people, which I wish I was, don't have the patience which comes with age
I really have not seen anyone here really getting obnoxious, [well..maybe 1 person].....
so ppl should not take offence for little reason.....
Take a break, come back refreshed.....
ppl here only wish Devs the best, and hope they can solve outstanding issues....I genuinely feel this to be true

Just One Suggestion
I have asked before for a Q & A Section, but if this is not possible perhaps add to this section any links for the topics noted in your fist post as searching xda vast resources is not easy for me and maybe also for others.
Hi all, I never write on this forum, i just read and waiting for news from our community, and i totally agree with fender90, we all need to do something for this Wonder(ful) smartphone!
Probably all of us are waiting for ics/cm9 and i think this is why only few people are trying to do something for us on gingerbread.
In my case i'd like to do something like a kernel with bln for example, but first of all for now i only rooted my phone and i'm afraid of briking my only phone trying to do other mods...Also, i dunno how to begin to do something else like develop a new kernel or improve the features of our w, like the devs on this forum are doing...So i'd really like to see more activity for this phone, and i'd really like to have a part on that, but i dunno how, and first to mod my phone i need to be sure on how i can test my possible mods without damages...

Unfortunately there is no "safe" way to mod, there is always some little bit of risk. But little mods can't hard brick your phone!
What arco68 is doing is the hard work that can brick your phone. He knows what he's doing.
Little mods to the framework or somthing like that will (in the worst case) soft brick your phone, that can be solved in 10 minutes by reflashing a ROM or restoring a Nandroid backup.
About how, check this out: that was the thing I was trying to do before kinda giving up because I don't see an active community that is actually trying to do something: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169443
fender....thanx for that!!!!
I would say that an active participating community will take some time to evolve!!
This forum is very young yet, and I am not sure it will ever become as big and active as those for more popular devices.
however, I also think that you should continue to do stuff, like you have linked, it will also encourage others with similar skills to contribute, and others to learn and become skilled....
keep up the good work!!

I know there is always a little risk, however i'm new in android, so i need to read more and learn how to save and restore my data before to mod my phone...then i'd like to know the basics to develop and then i can try do something, but there are a lot of information in the forum so it's difficult for a newbie to understand where to begin, what are the easy mods can be done...when i have times to search surely i'll do it, but til then we need all the man like u that wanna improve this phone...cause, ics or not, this is a great smartphone!
PS. thanks for all u are doing for us fender! Pls don't stop
So I just jumped into my old forums and asked one of the devs if he would mind maybe helpin us out. I told him I would be the test dummy for everything so maybe we can get some extra help or find a phone and let him borrow cause he's just like dman with developing but he's active like crazy so well see!

He should have just added some credits. His roms were better than those he "borrowed" from. He also updated far more frequently and was always responding to questions.

Im not against the rules or anything else Im sure they are helpful for the bigger picture.:cyclops: I am however stating its ironic that he did better with there stuff than they did. IMO when a dev does that its usually buggy or simply not as good , his roms were always up to date and he had stuff out much quicker than others.
At the end of the day everyone here is modding someone elses work to begin with so getting banned for using a modification to an open source or Samsung based software is just weird to me.
Isnt that why theres two dev forums to begin with ?
Just so that we are all clear on this subject. He is not Banned.
Like someone above said, he still has a ROM in one of the Note sections (can't remember if NI or NII atm). I am one of the Mods over those sections as well so I have seen his threads and activity.
Now I don't know what exactly went down and why the thread was locked and even if I did, I'm not sure I can speak freely. I was called away on a family emergency that weekend and when I got back it was locked and the other thread about this was in full swing. It seemed like a kang job, but as I said, I do not know the particulars. I am only posting in this thread to let you know that he was not banned and chose to host his S3 ROM elsewhere.
Please don't make this thread into a pissing contest about who's was better and random speculation about what happened. Plus, if he is not here to defend himself, he shouldn't be attacked (not saying that any of the ones that posted attacked him in any way *more for future posters, if this thread stays open).

Seems like you're arguing semantics. Only thing I see wrong is not giving credit. (ill surrender the end point that it's xdas way of managing things and that's fine.)
However you and everyone else are working off Google and to a lesser extent Samsungs work to begin with he only borrowed what you tweaked in someone else's code to begin with ;don't know why devs feel they should have special treatment. Having followed android *devs* since the early G1 days I find the current state rather egotistical and counter productive at times.
Again I say... I understand about not giving credit but alluding to him being a thief is ironic considering what is actually being done.
You say I have no idea, that's fine perhaps I don't . But proclaiming thievery with exclamation points doesn't exactly educate or inform anyone of anything let alone show that I'm in the dark on the matter.

Credit is the least he can ask. Do you know or even have an idea how long it takes to make a rom? De compiling recompiling apks tweaking smali. **** I tried to theme a couple pngs and 15 toggles and it took me a couple days just reading to figure out what to do! They have to edit a lot of files. It's long tedious work and they do it all for free!!
Regardless if it was based off Google code. They edited and made it unique. It is now theirs. For example for school you have to write a paper about Lincoln. You research about Lincoln and final write your paper. What your saying is that the paper you wrote is not yours because you pretty much just reworded facts you read online. (provided you didn't copy paste) the paper is now your own paper that you can claim rights too.
