No worries. So, here's how we stand as of now:

The N1 ROM has had all the apks resized and repacked for our mdpi devices. The ROM itself, boots, but only bootloops. There have been a few devs who have looked at it, checked out the logcat, tried a few things and then given up. No one has taken this on fully, as everyone is committed to other projects. We need a dev who is willing and able to make this ROM run. I do not know exactly what that entails, as I'm not a dev. I just wanted to see this ROM on our phones, so I did what I could...image files. If you're willing, I'm sure many people in the community will be willing to help you. There is porbably as much interest and desire in having this ROM as there is Gingerbread...the only difference is that gingerbread boots at this point. I dunno.

Anyway...if you can make it work, you'll be a Hero! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Wupper:
The MDPI MIUI APK package is also at my server for those who can't or don't want to go to mediafire. Here :).

I've seen MIUI on a N1, it would be cool if someone gets it working on another phone :D.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hackmodford:
Yes can't wait for there rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Blue-K:
As I said in the Hero (GSM)-Forum, it's probably the best to wait until MIUI is out of the Beta-Stage. Not only would it be easier to port the ROM, since it would be more stable, there's also a (better) redesign of the UI coming, so you have to start to resize the PNGs again anyways. I've heard somewhere that the final ROM should be released in January, but I'm not shure if this is true...

And like I said before, would love to see a clean Port of this for my Hero :).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hackmodford:
That must be a bummer for all the people that made images.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kingdazy:
wow, look at his post count guys! back off, he can say whatever, and his opinion has already been validated as "right".

Anyhoo, I would load this ROM ina hot second just for fun! And assuming the function was complete (camera, GPS, the wifis, etc), I would totally use this! I'll be watching this thread, and Thanks for your efforts!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] edisonalvarez:
I have to admit I am not a big fan of the I phone look, but the interface looks sweet. cant wait to see if we can have this on our hero :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jc1337:
I have this on my evo. I'd love to get it on my hero. I really hope someone picks this up and ports it! I will donate for sure! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkness4209:
All I can say is ..... P.I.M.P.

Hero con froyo :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mschmitt01:
Yup. Gotta work on this kernel and see where it goes... try and keep you posted...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Awesome. Thanks mschmitt01. I'm about to crack open the rom to see what's inside (not that i can do much good...but still) :p Keep us posted as to how things are going and what we can do to help. Seems like there is a ton of interest in this ROM port.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andronut:
so this might be a little pushy but do you guys know when this could be complete (as in a partially functionable rom) because I check this like its my job to only be dissappointed to see it didnt change from a minute ago :( haha thanks :p it'll just same me time. loll
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
#1 rule with custom ROMS...never ask when something will be released. They are free and made by donated time. Be happy things even get done;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andronut:
yeah i was thinking that :) it was asked with all respect and not in any way meant to be ignorant to the time put into the work. i just check this so much that i lose my time and dont get school work done so it was just like a random guess thing. Sorry if i offended anyone with this :D:D:D:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Honestly, the more interest we can generate in this ROM, and the more devs we can get on board the faster we can get it done. If people don't have themeing or deving skills, they can still be of use by generating interest, spreading the word, and recruiting people with skills. That's why I made this thread...so that people would be aware that we need more skilled help to get this accomplished.

As for a "due date", there are three of us looking at converting the pngs and 9.pngs to mdpi format (asimmons, mschmitt, and myself). We just cracked open the rom tonight to look at these. That's the first step. The rest of the steps of actually getting the ROM to work on our phones is up in the air: I definitely don't know how to do that kind of stuff...and I'm not sure if mschmitt or asimmons know how...so that's why I said you guys can be of help by generating excitement about this port and recruiting devs (or at least getting other devs excited to try and help).

If we keep a positive attitude, and a little bit of momentum, this thing could be done within a month. (It takes a lot of free time to do this stuff...something that a none of us have).

Hope that answers your question...now get to recruiting! ;):D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andronut:
Cool! well theres that mac application that can resize images automatically which you are probably aware about, i'll do some recruiting on other sites to get more devs. Good luck, (no need to respond, lol)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
I'm working on trying to get the pngs all converted to mdpi format (not the 9.pngs just yet). So far no luck with using the theme porter. I might have to wait tomorrow to try the mac version someone made. I'll keep you guys posted.

Anyone know any devs who can compile kernels and stuff?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
Lol don't mind the music, I love Japanese music.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PTown599:
Pretty sure its chinese.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DemonRagna:
No its Japanese. The Rom is Chinese and the words in the video are in Chinese. I tell the difference just a bit. And this song is from an anime named Slam Dunk.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdhscanes24:
:eek: I think I just shat. VERY happy to hear that someone has picked this up, definitely donating to whoever helped when we hit the final stages.

I don't have any Dev experience, but I can definitely push it until we find its weaknesses when it is bootable.

Also, if there is anything tedious that doesn't require internet, all I need is a guide and I'll put Ubuntu and myself to work. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dburg84:
tried the CM6 base one you did on the other thread and couldn't get it to flash. FYI Error Status 6.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaronpoweruser:
converting the pngs isnt hard the normal ones can be automated and the 9.pngs r just tedious cause they have to be done by hand the hard part of this port is getting it to boot because it is compiled for the armv7 core of the nexus one and the hero is armv6 this is the reason we cant have flash not that it would run good anyway but i doubt we could get much done until we have a armv6 compiled roms the graphics should be the last of it cause it will still boot with hdpi graphics
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aaronpoweruser:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
@ Aaron...dont you have experience deving/compiling for devices? I remember seeing your name in different dev projects. Are you willing to help, or at least help me learn how to do some of the other dev stuff? All I know how to do is work with the theme/image elements...but I'm willing to learn!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ASimmons:
I had a feeling that the 9 patch pngs would get fried with the resizing.... honestly in most cases they don't need to be resized for then to work. Some of them might over extend the resolution but it won't force close.

And add for future builds... A build script would work so that you don't have manually make they changes to the pngs with new releases.

Alex I'll gtalk with you later Scott writing this... the logs you posted are promising!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] DannyBiker:
Well guys, I've recently bought an HD2 and was able to play around with MIUI at last.

And I'm quite disappointed. It has some great tools and ideas but overall it's nothing you can't match with a good launcher (try ADW Launcher EX) and the right apps. And it's just too "iphony" for my taste.

I'm just saying that so some of you don't get too disappointed as it seems that it won't ever be ported to mdpi (at least for now)...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hackmodford:
While you don't like it because its iphoney... That's precisely there reason I do like it :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jim_1984:
It would really be great if this project culminated in a working, well-maintained MIUI for the Hero. I've been running it on my EVO, and it's really nice. (Too buggy/bad battery life though, I'm flashing back to a Sense-based ROM.)

My brother came from an iPhone, and misses the interface- MIUI would be perfect for him on his Hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JakeCP:
I'm no expert, but please let me know if I can help test or something like that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMGRANDS:
Sorry To Ask A Stupid Question,

The "Cdma Hero" or Is It Just For Porting Purposes???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dburg84:
FYI Youlu address book was updated. Includes its own SMS app. Check it out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Ya...I really don't like it. I don't like that they bundled those two apps together, and I don't like the new icon. I also don't like that they implemented the # and * keys. They should give users the option to choose whether they want # and * or text and add contact buttons. Anyway...I'm sticking to the old version until they do something about it.

:p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kevphan08:
So...where are we?

Just wondering where this project is headed. I haven't seen much traffic here anymore and was just wondering how the project was being handled after all the Pngs were finished.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
honestly...it seems like it's going nowhere at all. We did all that we could, but no devs were interested in making this work, and we don't have the skills to do it, so it's pretty much dead unless someone wants to pick up where we left off.

Oh well....all you can do is try.

-alex
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
This forum has died down alot. Many devs jumped over to the evo and those that have knowledge are busy with their own projects. Doing any kind of dev work or even making a theme is very time consuming.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] MusicMan374:
I'm interested in taking this for a spin. Not too experienced but I'm trying to get it working on the Slide. Tip for 9patches, I've worked with them before, you have to decompile the APK before editing them, because they're specially coded. Once you decompile them the black 1px border shows through, THEN you can edit it and then recompile the apk. I know this was compiled for armv7, and I'm probably wrong here, but wouldn't replacing the kernel in the ROM fix that? Replacing the kernel with say, one of the overclock kernels for our phone, wouldn't that make it work, fix some of the hardware issues?

Edit, yeah this probably isn't going to happen without source. I tried it, albeit not my best and not the best effort, but I got the worst bootloop ever. Couldn't even get to where it could give me a logcat, it spent like 5 second on splash1 and then rebooted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hackmodford:
I hope you can get it working!

Oh and on a side note. The miren web browser seems very similar to the miui look and feel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Hi everyone.

I wanted to let you all know that this project is basically dead and over. The new method that someone suggested to me to easily resize the 9.pngs actually broke the 9.patch of the images. I thought this might be the case, but instead of looking into it, I took the person's word for it. I take full responsibility for not checking out the claims of the person before passing on the method to you who worked on resizing. I'm really sorry. Pretty much, right now we have a bunch of apks that have resized images, but the 9.pngs are all broken (which means they need to be re-drawn with the draw9patch tool and run through eclipse. The kind of work and time that takes is just too much for anyone to be expected to do. Also many devs have commented that without the source from the MIUI team, this project will not get off the ground. Sorry to get your hopes up and thanks to all who were a part in trying.

Sincerely,

alex
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dburg84:
Hey man no worries. You started a project and got real collaboration. That's how every project gets moving...some of them don't go anywhere. Some of them do. Bottom line is you wanted to do something and went after it. Others did too...thats what it is is all about. Thank you for your and everyone else who did any work on this project.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hackmodford:
Theres nothing stopping anyone from trying again right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brucemcl:
You did your best, you didn't get a lot of people mad at you, you didn't deliberately mislead anyone. I've done a little theming, and I know those .9.pngs are a pain to work with. Take some time off, relax, and let the disappointment and frustration you may be feeling now die down.

There are still people out there who would like MIUI to run on their phones with smaller screens: G1, Magic, Hero, Droid Eris, etc. Completing this project still has as much value as it ever did.

MIUI is scheduled to move from beta status to 1.0 at the end of February. At that time having a complete set of downsized pngs should be even more valuable than it is now.

I suggest checking back in with the MIUI release schedule in mid or early February, and giving serious thought to reactivating this project at that time.

For me is just a constant reminder of how the Hero is so limited.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hackmodford:
No it would not... There is a chance we might get source some day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mbuchholz:
image files

any way you could post a zip file of the png's for the miui so we can use them for theming? I like the look of the icons and stuff and it might be fun to at least use the icons and stuff.

hey all... I found a link over on droid forum...

I personally don't like the adw miui theme. They have bubbles around the already circle icon. Not attractive to me.

Does anybody know a dev that would like to create epic animations as to how your phone screen turns off when being put to sleep and awake? The tweak called SleepFx, I believe for the iphone had beautiful animations for things as simple as turning the screen off and on. I was hoping it could be made for android.
