MIUI finally getting open sourced

For all you MIUI fans, it seems Xiaomi finally caved and decided to put their source code on Github.
What does this mean?
- XDA could consider unbanning Galnet...meh lol
- More devs could get their hands on this meaning we could see new breeds of MIUI.
Boom!: http://phandroid.com/2012/02/03/miui-android-rom-is-being-open-sourced/

This is great news.

Does this mean bluetooth can finally work?

And you're response is getting dull. No need to make yourself seem like an ass as well. You don't know where I'm coming from.
I simply thought that by having the source, a dev can look into it and somehow implement something and have our bluetooth work with it. I'm not as talented as a dev nor have their knowledge.
Please, if someone who actually has the knowledge can appropriately contribute. And I already guessed that it's still an issue with broadcom not releasing their source.

It's not Broadcom anyway, it's an ST Ericsson chip. But yes, we need their code. The Infuse section isn't all that friendly here on xda, which is a big part of why it's so dead. Too many teenagers on their mommy and daddy's plan, haha. But, at the same time, it is a topic that has been beaten to death here. If you're curious, search the section for bluetooth or CG2900 to find out more.

[MOD] CM9 Camera fix

This does not work, I have tried it many many times and no matter what it won't focus. I got it to the point where it says it focuses but it does not. No further discussion.

I don't know what problem you are referring to - I can focus my camera fine - just touch the screen in the area I want to focus and the camera focuses - looks great - am I missing something here? is there some other kind of focusing problem?

Don't take this the wrong way. I don't want to say anything bad about someone's work, but until we know what 'it' is, this thread is of no use. If you were to make a thread with a fix and details in it in the first place, less trolling would occur. I sometimes do have this problem, many others have too, including Google. Google has acknowledged this and fixed it in 4.0.4 along with other things. Team Douche (Cyanogemmod) are waiting for 4.0.4 to add more features to cm like theme chooser and customizations.

I understand. And yea I'll wait. What I did was take the apk from Clean GB rom, compare the two, and I changed stuff accordingly to that. It works, but if the problem still persists in 4.0.4 then I'll post the mod. Oh and taking the apk wasn't all I did. I'm in school and I hacked their website blocking crap, I don't have the time to type the two paragraphs of what I did.
Thanks for the advice. It's greatly appreciated.

Oh ok I see. Well now I'm getting the idea that it isn't actually focusing... I themed it as well so if you guys want my themed version let me know. But I'll put my hand 3 inches away, it'll say its focusing but its still rather blurry.
So I can either post what I currently have, or you guys can wait for me to figure out why it was broken to begin with and wait for me to 100% fix it, or go the safe way and wait for "team douche" to release 4.0.4
Its up to you guys. I probably shouldn't have posted this until I knew for a fact I could get it up in the same day, or the next day. I'll try my best to hop on my pc and upload it but my dads complaining about how ridiculously priced it is for me to run my computer, so if it isn't today it'll be Sunday. I can try doing it all from my phone tomorrow but chances of that are low.
I'll keep you all updated. Sorry for the troubles. My suggestion is to wait for 4.0.4 but I will upload mine if you want

22ghz isn't cheap . No they actually aren't. He doesn't wanna say it but its because my step mom sits on the couch 10 hours a day with the tv on then goes in her room for bed and watches another 4. THAT'S why the bill is so high. When I stream stuff and leave my computer on its only 2 dollars an hour.

skyrocket cm9 is "in the oven"

I got a confirmation from cyanogenmod that the skyrocket and t989 are being worked on currently. So as long as they don't decide to drop us we will be getting cm9 at some point in the future. I posted on a Google+ post of theirs. If you have Google+ go to their page, and then their post for "status update on nightly builds". You will see someone mention the t989 them me mention the skyrocketing followed by a confirmation.
Sorry no link, I'm on my phone and its a pain in the butt.

The cyanogenmod guys are pros, they have done this sort of thing for tons of phones. They will get it down for sure, granted they may have to wait for stock ics from Samsung to button a few things up.

I'm guessing it'll be a couple months before they release a beta.
And may not start official work on it until 4.0 is release for the T989 or 727.

They have alpha daily builds for the original s2. And yes I wouldn't expect anything for a month or two. They admitted it being behind where the s2 development is.

Keep an eye out HERE for nightly CM9 builds.

While I love seans work I'm not sure of his credentials when it comes to building code from scratch. His cyanotouchwiz was just a themed and modified version of cm7.2 done by slayher and da_g.

I'm with Jo, top, and Eugene honestly. They are the only ones I know of right now that are working on compiling from source right now.

I hope that more users will notice how we act here from other device subforums.
It drives me crazy when I try to read through the dev forum for sgh-i717 or most other devices, and it's almost impossible to figure out what the developers are doing, what issues are current, who is doing what... I mean if the idea is to be a development community and you can't track the development or have the ability to contribute because you know what is going on... So many users asking questions about the rom or kernel when there is a Q&A thread for that specific purpose. It really works against the community, and you see the high output developers leave because no one contributes to their projects and their threads are thrashed. It's stressful to be the only dev on a project, I have some experience there.
Thank goodness for contributors and other devs for jumping in on some of the projects I started or we started together or the projects we have now wouldn't exist. Not to mention the other devs that kanged that work to make something even better. I don't look down on that, because it keeps the flashaholics happy, and we all get to learn about their skill sets.
I think our community gets that. And the trolls just sorta get squeezed out by reporting their posts and keeping threads on topic.

Anyways...
Troll on, friends.

I hope that more users will notice how we act here from other device subforums.
It drives me crazy when I try to read through the dev forum for sgh-i717 or most other devices, and it's almost impossible to figure out what the developers are doing, what issues are current, who is doing what So many users asking questions about the rom or kernel when there is a Q&A thread for that specific purpose.

I agree with you its frustrating to have ten million questions that have been answered or are self explanatory.
However if you goto the device the op is talking about they have multiple versions of the same phone all lumped into a category. Each one had a development section but there is only ONE q&a section. And with the amount of development on that device the q&a section moves extremely fast. That doesnt mean its ok to post questions in the dev thread AT ALL! It does mean the devs should be linking q&a threads in the first post so people arent hunting through 20 pages of current thread just to find it.

If something can be answered, the do it and be helpful in 1 or 2 posts. If things get out of hand, then use that button. That is why it is there.

This is a under used suggestion. Even if in the wrong place answer the question move on. Report posts of people telling people to use search and not actually helping keep the thread clean. Think about it. How many times have you seen somebody post hey man use search and then multiple other people will do the same thing? I think I have been guilty but I try to avoid doing that anymore. If I cant offer a answer I dont post. It keeps the noise down and people from misunderstanding me.
