Huh ? It bears no relation to what I said. It should be Xiaomi Corp to be blamed. Users, consumers should not pay for the behavior of a company.

[MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION]

On top of that, I assume you were talking about article 12? if not m'y bad I am sorry...

When you are porting cm mako to aries I dont see where you break the rules.

Yet you talk of money, profits margin is about 10% when some manufavturers are at 200%. :))

Well lets see. They pack a warez market into into their stock rom. Instantly making the stock rom banned. Then add in the respect level that was lost when they were found to be removing the credits in the commits they were taking to get working kernels for MIUI to work on other devices. Then add in the copy right issues they would face by selling outside of china. Heck Apple alone would eat MIUI for lunch and would put them out of biz with their first law suite.

I mean most people love the fact of a cheap device, and that is what they offer. A cheap knock off device.

Now I am not speaking about this any more. Maybe by the time the Mi6 is out they will have changed their ways and be more accepted by developers. only time will tell.

Also the only way the consumer suffers is by not doing their own research before getting a device. All they see is the price and then when they come here and find no support they get upset. That is not our fault or concern.
[Omni Q&A] m11kkaa:
I think you guys should stop attacking zelendel.

I mean this device will get official CM, PAC and maybe even Omni.

What do you want more?

If you want a support forum go to miuiandroid and stop begging here were you won't have any success soon.

[Omni Q&A] Khaon:
I understand your point of view, but I haven't got the hacked market from China. Furthermore Roms from MIUIANDROID which is, for now, the biggest community for Xiaomi devices haven't that market.

When you are saying people should get informations before buying the product, when i bought my device the MI3 was released and I DID not buy as the source weren't yet released. So don't tell people shoud look before buying as you are wrong.

Anyway let's stop the talking, as what ever we say you won"t change your mind. To be honest I don't care if we have a forum or not, I have compiled my own kernel.
[Omni Q&A] zelendel:

[Omni Q&A] andyjyneo:
Ever since Xiaomi launched in Singapore, then Malaysia, followed by Philippines, and now India, everyone has been snatching Mi3, Redmi 1S and Redmi Note like nobody's business.

I was really upset with Xiaomi and Hugo, frankly speaking.

This is going to be a bit off-topic. Pardon me.

The story begins when Hugo played us out when we were part of the translation team.

Xiaomi released the bootloader source for mi2 :)

[Omni Q&A] brajesh.sharma87:
[MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] whatever you wrote in support of not opening a forum for xiaomi devices. If thats the voice of xda, unfortunately that is a huge letdown by xda to its users. Xiaomi has launched Mi3 in India and it will start selling in couple of days for a dream price (Half the price of a nexus 5). According to the Indian media and people like us, its gonna be a huge success.

Sometimes ago in a xda portal, XDA appologised to Indian users for ignoring them, they also mentioned that India is the 2nd largest revenue maker for them in terms of ads after USA. In recent times, the growth of users from India and the visits have increased a lot (you might like to check your data if you think I am wrong) since the launch of Moto G and Moto E devices. In my experience Xiaomi Mi3 is gonna be record seller, Most of the people targeting to buy this device, are geeks and they like to do stuffs which we do on xda. Just imagine how many more people will come here. Obviously they will need a proper support forum for that.

Thanks [MENTION=3530648]m11kkaa[/MENTION] for all the explanations on behalf of us. The moderators might not know what and how much you have done for the xda community but we know it very well. Remember those old good defy days. You were the developer of touch bootmenu and multiboot (the best method at that time for multiboot).

Talking about how developer friendly xiaomi is, sources and all, if thats a criteria, you can check there are many devices that are based on MediaTek chipset and have a forum here. One such example is Micromax Canvas 4.
[Omni Q&A] zelendel:
Yes we took pity on some of the India based users because of the OEM not even having the kernel source as they imported the devices from China. I even went to bat and went and contacted them about the kernel source (Micromax) As for Xiaomi they know full well what they are doing. Ever wonder why they only release devices where the GPL laws are not upheld?

As for the device. It maybe a good device and many will get it. I hope that they get alot of things going for it. Once they become fully GPL compliant then we will be more then happy to welcome the devices, but until they do (which is only a start to make up for all the bad they have done to the dev community.) Then we will watch and wait.
[Omni Q&A] dhiru1602:
No offense to anyone, but I really think non GPL compliant devices should have their own forums in WinZIP or WinRAR community and not XDA.

There is no serious development for these devices and there will be a lot of useless talk about "Will we get Android L", "That MTK device got L and can we port the rom" "Please sign the abc petition" etc.

If there was a dedicated forum for the above said devices, this is how the it would look:

"Oh, This phone is dirt cheap, I am buying it" -> "Where to get screen protector and case" -> "Matte is better or Clear Screen Protector" -> "Does anyone know where I can get extended battery in Banglore" -> "How do I root it" -> "Is there a custom kernel" -> "Why is there no development" -> "Will MTK release sources" -> "Is there a service center in Hyderabad" -> "Which WinZIP ROM is the best?" -> "Planning to buy a new device, need suggestions" -> "Guys, I bought a new Hentaimi FUK3. It costs only 7k in India. Goodbye" -> "XDA, Can I get a forum for my device?"
[Omni Q&A] m11kkaa:
the kernel source isn't really needed for android development :)
[Omni Q&A] brajesh.sharma87:
The devices we are talking about has snapdragon chipset and not those mediatek ones. If they were not developer friendly CM wouldn't have supported Mi2s officially. XDA not supporting these devices means XDA is happy to loose most of their users. In that case I cant comment but just feel shame.

Well in that case either XDA should close all those devices specific forums or include Mi2 and Mi3 in that exception list. At least they have developer friendly boards.
[Omni Q&A] pkb_always4u:
Look, I know I am very new yet in XDA and doesnt comply rules very well. But as per GPL and Xiaomi launching, they did launch in India. Second, you guys are very senior and serious developers, your work must be credited and so I would suggest one of you to talk to Xiaomi about their policy. If they have changed or yet on previous WinZip policy.

I am just a user and respect all the laws and work but also think mi3 should get a forum.

I want to know if you ban Xiaomi then why do you allow MiUi and based ROMs on XDA?
[Omni Q&A] zelendel:
Because all miui rooms are required to use custom kernels as the stock miui kernel is not allowed due to no source code for the kernel.

We have tried to contact them but they refuse to change their policy.
[Omni Q&A] m11kkaa:
I've also asked Tom about it and after one answer he didn't respond:

PS: I know that it's not just about these old things but since they said they'll publish kernel sources for other devices(even if it's a VERY slow process and it wasn't officially confirmed) I dont's want to be too offensive
[Omni Q&A] zelendel:
They have to start putting the source code for the kernel up when a device is released. The BS of them only doing it when a new device comes out is just that BS. As for the old stolen code that just means no devs will ever trust them and if they do it will be a long time
[Omni Q&A] shree_tejas:
Just saying, Mi3 is releasing in India when the Mi4 is being released there in China. So, according to what I've read so far, the company may release the code when the phone is being released. So, they "are" releasing the code when the phone is being released. Chacha! :D

But whatever said, if there is someone compiling source roms for it, people will definitely use it. XDA or not.

Developers will develop. Users will use. :P

No offence. Peace.

[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Correct. Not publishing source code for a device at the time it is released in its FIRST launch country = theft. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Xiaomi are theft artists - they've managed to figure out how to steal that which is given to them for free.

There's also the whole CyanogenMod kanging fiasco (For years, MIUI built their brand by taking CyanogenMod maintainers' hard work on device bringup and throwing their own closed-source apps on top of it.). This one is a bit more grey since, while it's just bad form to grab someone else's Apache-licensed source code without giving any credit, it is technically legal. Although Xiaomi was also stealing GPL components (kernel source) too, that's unambiguously illegal.

Funny thing is that the MIUI kanging was one of the primary reasons Steve gave for the whole Focal relicensing fiasco... Even though Cyngn has done EXACTLY what MIUI did with CM11S with the Apache-licensed components. (But at least they're complying with the GPL for kernel source.)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokuni:
Hi Guys,

Am an avid xda fan. Been using Androids since the Nexus One and am on my 4th phone, the Z1 now. Im quite comfortable with modding phones , unlocking boot loaders etc however am in a situation.

I have got an Unlocked Z1 (obtained from Telstra, Australia) and have successfully got root. I followed the steps for Kingo and have verified SU status. Now heres my problem, I restored a bunch of system backups from Titanium backup from my old phone (Samsung S4). The S4 had CM10.2 on it before. After installing a select few system backups and the suggested reboot, i now get boot loops. It boots up to the Sony logo and splash screen however as soon as i see 1-2 seconds of my home screen, it reboots. and it loops. I need help guys as I don't have a custom recovery installed to do wipe phone in recovery.

Problem: Bootloop after Titanium backup restore

Situation: have Root (SU), bootloader locked, no custom Recovery.

Any suggestions? Am open for anything. Thanks guys.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antec123:
hi mate, of course it will be boot loop. you restore system backup to your z1, it wont work. you need to reset your handheld to factory again.

next time please don't restore your system backup (use XML backup for backup call, wireless access point, phone log, message), just user data backup, such as apps you are using.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokuni:
Hey bro. can you explain how I cna reset it back to factory again? without booting the phone?

yea, in hind sight i should have, plus was playing with fire, especially having no custom recovery.

edit: im thinking probably having to use adb/fastboot/flashtool of some sort. Just trying to figure out the commands...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 301stSpartan:
You need to flash a ftf firmware file using Flash Tool (similar to flashing a stock ROM in Odin with Samsung). There are guides for doing it out there on this forum as well as ftf downloads. It will take you back to pure stock.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokuni:
yup figured as much. downloading a generic tft file for the z1 as we speak. Thanks for confirming my thoughts. will update once Ive resolved this issue.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antec123:
sorry mate, i don't have z1 but the procedure of backup & restore is like that you cannot restore your previous system with different model. btw good luck with resetting your device.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokuni:
Yup that fixed it. Thnks guys for the confirmation. the restore of a generic tft file with flashtool not only resolved my issue, but also as expected wiped any carrier customisation i.e. Telstra.

[Q] Need help on my Nexus 7 (boot loop & need help recovering music/pictures UROOTED)

Okay so heres the story, i let my Nexus 7 run out of battery completely so once i had my charger i connected it and let it charge fully (took around 4 hours) i then tried turning it on regularly, it got through the "Google" logo and past the "Nexus" logo i thought all was well and dandy but then about 10 seconds later it restarted out of nowhere. It kept doing this over and over so i simply went to safe mode and turned it off. preferably i would like to find a way to fix the issue and have my nexus 7 running back to normal or worse case scenerio i would have to factory reset itr in which case i really want to save my music and pictures Ive looked online and tried everything (going to safe mode by pressing volume down and power button and messing around with the options like restarting bootloader and going into recover mode and clearing system cache but no help. and even diconnecting the actual battery cable from inside and reconnecting it). Then i researched more and got an idea of downloading a rootkit but i realized its no use to me b/c i never enabled debugging or developer options :/ Can anyone help me to either A.) find a solution that wont cause me to factory reset my device or B.) If i do have to factory reset my device help me find a way to backup my music/pictures (again i never enabled developer options or enabled usb debugging). Any help is greatly and tremendously appreciated.

Thanks,

just flash the kernel, it will give you root plus CWM, than follow the basic guide in the link I gave above and flash ICS first , let it boot before following guide to flash the Jelly Bean.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
From the beginning , you wanted to flash without the aid of PC and USB cable, your first post

so, you should download, 1) Mobile Odin, 2) semaphore Gingerbread kernel & Framaroot app ( if mobile Odin needs root in order to install)

hence download Mobile Odin from Google and follow Method B ( as mentioned in guide) and flash the semaphore Gingerbread kernel to get CWM .

you do not need to enter recovery, when using mobile Odin, unless you already have USB cable and want to use PC, than follow method A and once have CWM, use the CWM recovery to flash as mentioned in the Basic CWM flashing guide

So what method, you want to follow? since you already have a gingerbread on your i9000, either use Mobile Odin or Odin3?
