Navie 10 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 Coming soon. (i.e. as soon as I unlock it and as far as I can tell I am very, very close) What is a MIUI port? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tilal6991 4,024 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 What is a MIUI port? Google MIUI - it's a custom ROM like CM7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racerboy 354 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 hi i`m from the Racer part of the this forum, would their be a chance of porting it for the Racer when you finish it for the Skate or is that just impossible? i know the lack of ram, processor speed MAYBE an issue but hey if i dont ask we`ll never know.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's possible but unlikely - the graphics in MIUI are HDPI but the Racer is an MDPI device... That, more than processor, would cause a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tilal6991 4,024 Report post Posted September 15, 2011 well if your up for the challenge that would be great, if not then no sweat, hats off to you for getting this far with porting ROMS I have no experience whatsoever in graphics - I'm rubbish at it. You could try it - it would be easier as well since you actually have the device. All you need to do is to replace the lib and the bin and the xbin folders of MIUI with the ones from your device's CM7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No - the same kernel as CM7 should work. MIUI is basically a prettier version of CM7 - the code base is (essentially) the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the X10 the guys have to port from a Nexus rom! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frankish 214 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 Probably should just go with N1 again. It's the same resolution,.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opening update package... Installing update... E:Error in /sdcard/miuiandroid_N1-1.9.16.zip (Status 0) Installation aborted Can't be a simple as a file swap, or am I missing something else...all new to me, only ever install roms, but I'm curious on this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frankish 214 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 To be honest I think there has got to be more to it. I've read a quite badly written guide on porting miui and there is more to it than what tilal is suggesting. As far as I can tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PedroVader 89 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 I think I know exactly the guide you mean, saw it on here, and on XDA, too much for me to digest, might give it a read over the weekend, see if I can make any sense of it. Meanwhile, keeping my ears and eyes open for anything new on the Skate horizon, I think it's a slow burn right now, but the Blade started the same way. Me personally, I really like mine, overpriced or not. Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frankish 214 Report post Posted September 23, 2011 I can't see there being a port. I thought you would need access to MIUI source or at least have an existing MIUI rom for a device with the same chipset and gpu? There are no armv6 miui roms are there? Please correct me if I am wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please correct me if I am wrong. You're correct - a MIUI port for the armv6 chipset is going to fry your gray cells long before you realize you're running out of 'em... and make hairs grow in places you never thought of! MIUI is more geared towards armv7 chipset ..... so good luck to those who attempt to port it to armv6 :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
