I have read the Miui forums and as I said before I'm not a supporter of what Xiaomi is doing, I really don't care about the sideloading of themes though, Sense- or Touchwizbased ROMs, you cant even theme without rooting your phone on a Mi2 with a stock MIUI ROM you can. Xiaomi doesn't need to open everything up to comply with GPL, just the kernel and perhaps other parts of the ROM that use code that is licensed under GPL and since you aren't just a dude that read to much on a forum, I already believe you know this, some of the other folks complaining in MIUI threads like this, are just burping up stuff that they have read somewhere by someone.

It's a well-known fact as you say that MIUI used CM in the beginning but since MIUI v.4 they use the stock roms for the phones they release their ROM for or are you saying that the SGS2 ROM which still has many parts still Touchwiz is also CM? but nevertheless Xiaomi or MIUI shouldn't get any support on XDA and every ROM or port should get banned on XDA for the crimes against GPL, I already know that me using MIUI is making me a hypocrite with my beliefs but MIUI is just so damn good to use when it works :).
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
No your right they dont need to open everything up. Hell As long as they complied with the GPL I would leave them alone, but until they will get no support here. This may be coming to an end though. As I heard they are planning to international. If they do they will be forced to comply with the GPL or stick to selling their devices inside china only.

As for the theming on the stock rom. I am not saying this is a bad thing but please stop and think about how they are doing this. There is only one way to do it. With root exploits. It's the only way Android allows editing a system file. It has to have write permissions which is only granted with root. Even the Cydia and winterboard apps that do the same thing as MIUI theme manager have to have root to pull it off. So you kinda still need to root to theme it.:laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] jusada:
I'm a miui fan, I've never got too interested in the politics. The user experience is what interested me. I have always used it as my main ROM till I got my gnex and now nexus 4. I wanted to give them a fair crack and what there ment to be, stock android! I've grown to love it and now using pa I've been sold all over again. I never got pa on my s2 and s3 as most of the features are aimed at nexus devices. After all why have a solution for on screen buttons if you have hardware buttons??? But on my n4 it fits, the devs are always innovating for it.(halo being a great example) I'm not sure I would want to loose that now. I think the trouble is miui is too late to the party here. Could I bear to loose that screen space? Probably not! Do I love halo, yes I do! And with pa having a new kernel/edited kernel and new designers adding there support I see the next few months really polishing pa to a point where I personally can't turn it down!

Its just my view, I'm not a miui hater. But think anyone using a n4 and wishing for miui my find them self's disappointed by the end product.
[Nexus 4 General] steslatt:
Whats with all the MIUI bashing? Sure they aren't like most devs and their stuff isn't open source but that's their choice. They don't owe us anything, the ROMs are free is that not enough? Yes they have taken features and code from other ROMs but haven't 90% of ROMs out there done that? They have also come up with some great features and designs themselves which other devs have copied into their own stuff.

[Nexus 4 General] header2k:
Android is released under the Apache license, not the GPL. And MIUI isn't based on CM anymore. While it's legal, it's still bad that MIUI doesn't give anything the community back except of a few apps like the file manager which is open sourced as far as I know.

They're still violating the GPL because of the Linux kernel, which they release without source which is a big deal for owners of Xiaomi devices (their kernel sucks and it's impossible to fix their bugs). Of course it's still possible to use another kernel for the nexus 4, and the n4 MIUI ROM will probably use AOSP anyway. There is an initiative called openMIUI which demands that Xiaomi comply with the GPL and also open source MIUI.

They will open up their kernel anyway (and maybe MIUI too) because they plan to expand beyond China (And R. Stallman will kill them all if they don't)

Still, it sucks that MIUI isn't open source, but it's comparable to other OEMs UIs (like sense or touchwiz) (IMHO).
[Nexus 4 General] Freddan80:
Yeah of course, but Big S (for example) could allow their own themeing system enough of ROOT access to allow applaying other themes of TW but they choose not to. The only thing I haven't heard is that Xiaomi use the GPL-licensed code in CM's theme-manager with their own theme application (perhaps that's the reason they can't open it up though :)) and that would be even worse than not open up the kernel, atleast in my opinion.

Back on topic:

Nevertheless, I simply love MIUI, it's Xiaomi I have problem with, before them MIUI was great, now I can't use V.5 at all and V.4 didn't work that well on the Gnex I had before my Nex4. Just hoping that the ROM the team behind miui.us is porting will come somewhat bugfree, atleast with only Miuibugs, I will flash that in a heartbeat.
[Nexus 4 General] OrrPenn18:
Yup thats the end point mate. We all love their theming capabilities and what they have achieved through framework hacks and code. One of the main reasons why I'm a fan.
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
Not quite. No manufacturer is under any obligation to open source their ui, or most of their system. As per the licenses, most android code does not have to be open source. It is licensed under the lenient apache license. Meanwhile, the kernel is licensed under the General Public License v2 (GPLv2) which is copy left, meaning that all changes to source must be open source. If even one line is changed, the full source or a patch must be made available, which they have done neither.

Also, from what I've heard, the reason they don't release source is because of their competition with meizu. Meizu doesn't release source and if Xiaomi did, that would give meizu an advantage in their eyes, as they are competitors.
[Nexus 4 General] kipue:
Okay, thanks for the clarification :)

All those different licencing styles are for sure a headache and the fact that a lot of it is very borderline means that a lot of devs must take advantage of it (for good or bad reasons).
[Nexus 4 General] xboxfanj:
Google intentionally did that to attract manufacturers but had to use GPL as it uses the Linux kernel and you can't just switch.
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
I wish we had an alpha/beta build to see how it is on the Nexus 4. :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] JediDru:
I wouldn't get your hopes up with it being bug free any time soon. When I was on my GNex they somehow broke Google voice. And it stayed broken until I got my N4. Atleast 5 months it was broken. It very well could still be broken.
[Nexus 4 General] OrrPenn18:
I'm watching along the sidelines in their beta testing for the Gnex 4.2.2 V5 builds, seems like they are adding 6 bugs while fixing 3. And it's been 15 days of the testing.

I hope miui.us starts their testing soon for mako.
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
Agreed, Xiaomi is messing this up and adding that you need xiaomi account and themes being drm'd. The reason I didnt update my SGS2 miui rom and using an older version of MiHome that can use any theme. Hope someone can find a workaround for that.
[Nexus 4 General] tongjia19:
I follow the official MIUI forum @ miui.com (in Chinese) and there's is absolutely no sign of them developing v5 for the N4 yet, which really sucks.. I've been waiting for so long! Now people in the forum are mostly like FK it, not even focusing on Nexus devices wtf is Xiaomi thinking about? lol. Back then when I had the i9100, MIUI v4 was my daily driver for the longest time and I loved it. Hope that the miui.us port is nice!
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
Even my G2x had SEVERAL MIUI builds
[Nexus 4 General] aravindsagar:
It'll be great to have MIUI.. Haven't tried out 4.2 versions, should be good.

When we get miui we'll probably get android 4.3 :fail: :(
[Nexus 4 General] kipue:
Fair enough!

But I still think that MIUI's UI is so different that it won't matter too much...

A but like Sense, who really cares too much what version of Android is behind it (in the limit of reasonable of course)?

And as far as we could see, 4.3 is more "under the hood" improvements, am I right?
[Nexus 4 General] sam razzy:
I totally agree with that.. Then won't be having no much kernel support. :D

In just a few days, I'll be upgrading my trusty, old reliable HTC Incredible 2 to a Samsung GS4. I plan to hand down my DInc 2 to my grandson to use as a Wi-Fi only Android device (music, games, Skype), but I'd like to insure he doesn't inadvertently hop on the VZ network with my existing cell phone number and knock me off the mobile network.

Is there a way to permanently disable cell service on the Incredible 2?

Now that I've wiped and installed about six different ROMs on my retired DInc2, I remembered why I wanted a deeper solution. Every time I factory default (or install a new ROM), the phone tries to reach out to the Verizon mother ship, possibly interfering with my new phone.

Is there a way, perhaps by using QPST or through the EPST (##778) menu, to zero out the mobile voice/text/data info in the phone so that it survives reboots and ROM flashes?

I did try the QPST equivalent (CM10 ROMs don't support ##778) and cleared out my MDN, MCC and MIN. Ironically, I wasn't getting the "Activate your phone" bugivation before I cleared them, but am now. It would seem that Verizon believes an unprogrammed phone ... requires programming (activation).

I've installed SManager and have radiooptions 1 set on each boot, and have the phone in Airplane Mode. This should be sufficient for my grandson, unless he starts mucking around.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Youdoofus:
its impossible for your grandson to "interfere" with your phone once its deactivated in their switch. CDMA access is granted/denied via imei codes, and if the line that has your # associated with it has your GS4's imei associated with it, then its relegated to using the global roaming capability based upon the sim card which would have nothing to do with your service, even if he went to the UK and hopped on vodaphone (verizons partner/parent company) i wouldnt worry about it. Just make sure you factory reset and that hes signed in to the play store with his gmail account, and you shouldnt have any "crosstalk" between devices...

cheers :)

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

sense based roms will default to the "activate your phone" screen if its not activated, unless the dev has removed that part from the script. CM roms, in my experience, have the tendency to skip that part. My dinc2 is deactivated and factory reset (it was donated to me so i could have a new droid to try to break, making it the 6th in my current collection) and there simply isnt a way (apart from imei cloning) for your grandson to futz with your service once your old phones imei has been rmoved from vzw's activation system.

Hi:

In the last day i was trying to flash the LEAK 4.1.2 build 6.2.B.0.203 , using DooMLork kernel , the problem was facing me is that my phone still do reboot after the first logo.

Then my phone turned off and i can't do any thing like flash mode or fastboot or charge of vibrate , even no led.

After like 4 hours of charging my phone show red led apear and disapear evry 20 second.

Today in the morning i can see a red led that still apear all the charging time and nothing happen.

From 2 minuits suddenly i saw that my phone turned on and show the first logo "Free Xperia" and after 5 second getted dead again and the same , only red led.

Any help to get into flashmood?​
