[ROM] Zen-MIUI v2 Android 2.2 + MIUI

I plan on continuing to work on it. There has been a lot of great work done by a lot of people and I hope they continue to contribute. I'll leave you with a few examples of my feelings on this nature.

Jamezelle helped fix v1 and rereleased it as v2 not jamezelle miui. Giving back to you guys and keeping the name. In turn he got full credit. We've beeen friends for a long time. Way before droid fourms was made. That's respect and the way it should be.

If I take ss or ud and swap some things around and post with out asking do is that right?

I wanted a community rom. I specifally asked for help. Tried to give creditd to inspire more help. Offered to give access to zen-droid google code. I've worked with people from all over the world by hacking on android. I love it. But if this is how I'm going to be treated then I'm done if not I will continue.

Basically this is my rom. If I had not have put up v1 you guys wouldn't be here.

So if people keep taking it and making their own threads in other forums there is no point for me to have a forum here.

So give back to zen-miui. There are enough people here to put out new roms every couple days.

Last I looked, this is NOT your ROM. If it belongs to anyone, it belongs to the devs at MIUI.

Hope you continue to develop it...truly. But it seems you're a bit more concerned about the credit than the community you claim to favor.

Its my rom like ss is chevys rom. Its not like you can go download it from miui.com they don't support the droid. And its not like you can drag and drop frameworks and apps on top of stock 2.2 and have it work.

Any one that does a rom out of this needs part of my rom to make it work.

Attitude like this only hurts the open source community. If every dev had this mentality we'd all be using the first rooted rom to ever come to the Droid 1 because it was their ROM and no one else would have been allowed to take it and hack it and make it their own. That is what happens in open source and it always has and I hope it always will.
 
So Zen, buddy, pal, hermano...

Throw us a bone here bro. I've been dieing to flash a working MIUI v0.9.30 from a completely fresh/wiped phone.

You've got to understand, fresh installs after multiple wipes is my thing. Installing over some other ROM, or even a previous version of the same ROM makes me feel just... Dirty...

Help me out here, please...
 
Zen when you say 'people' are taking this rom and reposting it with a few changes are you talking about metiCkOne? Its been interesting following the development of MIUI this past week and how the developer community started stripping the thing apart to fix all the bugs in the original release. In fact I even thought to myself it would be cool if it always worked that way. Other Devs, Themers, and Beta Team guys all adding bits and pieces to the puzzle, it was fascinating to watch. So, when mO released his version I assumed he had your blessing and that all was right in the world. It seems to me that having another developer take this rom apart and move it in a new direction is beneficial to the entire community.
So, I guess I’m confused about how all of this works. If I find a rom and port it over to the Droid it becomes mine? Other people can help me develop it but no one else can use the port and release something new? Please tell me that isn’t what happened here.

I'm not on anyones side here but to add to this does anyone remember JRummy's remix's of CyanogenMod's work, or even NexBeast? Two perfect examples of open source at work.
 
This is an open source community. Take advantage of that. Use it your advantage.

Use the other developers to continue your development and keep on top of how the ROM is being improved.
ie BGILL55 added some translation and removed some apps.

Take his tweaks and add them to yours and give him credit. Use the other developers to keep yours on top. I see this all the time with the more popular developers.

This is a quick game. You can't just be the first, you also have to be quick with updates. You have to keep people interested in "YOUR" ROM.

Use the community, don't try to fight it.

You realize I gave out v3 to let someone test it told them how I did it and it was posted somewhere else?

Even if they changed some things. I was told it wouldn't be released.

Ok, seriously...

Why are people still talking about this here? Go write a blog post, myspace wall or twitter it, but for heaven's sake, stop forcefully dropping your two cents already.

What's done, is done, finished, finito!!!

No more one step forward and 15 posts back, please...
 
Just Curious?

So with what some of you are saying is that say someone took UD8 and themed it and changed a few things to their liking, they could post it as oh I don't know, UD8 version whatever in their own thread and you would be ok with it? Oh and also start taking donations on it as well? I think that is one of the issues here is that the MIUI rom was changed slightly, put in someone elses forum and money started changing hands over it.

I also think that the MIUI rom should be in one place and not 3, 4 or more versions in different places. I thought the original idea was great - team development but I think once some people saw how popular it was they went there own way on it for various reasons. I stil remember the first coupe of days when the various devs were all coming up with fixes.

I could be totally wrong but this is JMHO.

Bottom line for me is I am eagerly awaiting the new update for the rom and would hate to see it never come out due to various issues.
 
I was awaiting another release, the continuing drama is more than I care to deal with.. have fun. moving on to something else.

Can I come with? We can go out and find something fun to do, like flash BB v1.1 all over again. Ah, the gold ol' days...
