If you’re into Android rooting and modding, chances are you will have heard about the popular replacement ROM known as ‘MIUI.’ In-case you haven’t, MIUI is a ROM by Xiaomi, a Chinese tech company, and is based in Android Gingerbread v2.3.7. Unlike your typical version of Android, this ROM provides you with the awesomeness of Android amazingly combined with the great look and feel of iOS, providing a unique user experience.
Now, for the first time, MIUI has gone open-source and can be found on GitHub. These are a couple of MIUI applications and the ROM. That’s not all, expect more source to be revealed in the near future.
This ROM was originally designed in Chinese, and was not intended to be translated or be available for people in the other parts of the world, so a big advantage of it being open sourced is that the modding community will take it upon themselves to translate it and also make it available for many new devices, like the hundreds that CyanogenMod supports, which is at present the most popular ROM available for android yet.
Now that its open source, we’re probably going to see some crazy mods and what not.

Hello fellow XDA-ers
I was looking around on the internet, and I found this:

Pantech's SMP-301 "SKY the Player"
A relatively unknown PMP, that never made it past Korea, made by Pantech. Based on that site, the player comes with 32 GB Internal Memory, a 3.7" 480x800 AMOLED display, and from small research, I hear it's capable of 1080p video playback without conversion.
There's one thing which I feel is a let down to this device though, and it's got Android 2.1 Eclair on it, and I have tried to look for developments for this device and found none.
My question is this, do any of you know of android developments for this device, if not, based on experience and perhaps knowledge, how difficult would it be to port a Gingerbread, if not ICS Build on the device? I'm thinking a good starting point would be to work from other developments on Pantech devices already.
Thoughts guys? :O
The thing has good specs, good audio... and squandered potential. Only being a slave to a Android device?
This would have been a *****in' GTV device. As Google TV is in rough shape, even getting a full Android ROM would be good. Here's to hoping it can be easily hacked.
Seeing as it is a Nexus device, I would surely hope that it has some level of hack-ability and modding. They even said that they encourage modding of the Nexus Q when they announced it at I/O. I'm excited to see where it goes!
Because they know that if someone come qith a good hack making it available to play games, run full OS or something like that people like will start buying it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It would be great if the GTV system could be ported over to the Q. I like the idea of the Q but a custom Rom would get me off the fence and grab my card to order.
Live and Die on this day....
There's already a thread for speculating on possible uses for the Q, please continue all further discussion there.

Announcing the Attopedia project: Put the world's knowledge on the back of your hand!
Here's a Wikipedia client for Android Wear. Although we have things like the Wear Internet Browser, I think that making information intuitive and easy to access on smart watches is going to take some experimenting with new user interface designs; current HTML5 pages aren't ready for 3-cm screens yet. So here I present a GridViewPager-based approach to browsing Wikipedia. Should be live on the Play Store in a few hours.
Would love to hear any feedback about this early release. In the spirit of free knowledge, this is being released as GPLv3.

Hi all, this app is being renamed to Attopedia.
Google Play Store banned my app the first time around because I used the Wikipedia logo (I wanted to give them enough credit ...)
But here it is, this time without the Wikimedia trademarks.
Play Store download link:

This is the reason why I got a Wear watch - this sort of innovative thinking. Really nice app.
Thanks! Awesome work
Google used to provide a semi standalone Android Studio installer with at least the SDK included. However, as of version 3.x such option is no longer available. Even with the semi standalone installer, a connection to the internet is still required to download junit and sync gradle. Why, though? Why not make a single fully functioning installer so that people all over the world can get on with their coding lives?
Well,

Behold a tear inducing image of the error that pops up after creating a simple android project.
Tears fall down after downloading Android Studio @ 150 kbps at an internet cafe on a flashdrive to use it on a desktop somewhere internet-less hoping that you can have a great weekend working on your killer android app project.
Summarizing, in order to start developing for android using Android Studio, one has to connect to the internet at least once after the installation.
On a more "serious" note, India, South America, Africa etc, are places where, unfortunately, unlimited internet is not available to everyone, heck even the U.S. has some places where internet quality is lower than the chances of the awesome people at Google actually consider this request.

Cool! Even though I have had good success with OS upgrades in the past, many do not. Sometimes the OOB software is the best. Doing an upgrade can sometimes introduce more problems than it ever fixes.
It looks like it moves farther into the "walled garden" concept in the name of security. App data backups are now completely forbidden except by Google. Not even ADB will work. Considering how much of a dumpster fire Android 11 is, I'm not looking forward to this. Sony doesn't have the software devs to provide workarounds or or support 3rd party ROMs.
COOL
