Ports and why there not here!
Galnet MIUI Scotland works on making sure that the weekly roms from MIUI China are available from our site. My main goal is to have available all 14 devices which are Gingerbread supported (Ice Cream Sandwich rom will come in time).
I have a backup of all the devices which are available for download, and there build trees, however for other devices, Galnet MIUI Scotland depends on other developers to port the roms across to these devices.
Costs and Handsets
We at Galnet MIUI Scotland have a very limited budget for hosting, handset purchases and advertisement. We would love to support every android device available, however it is not possible. We have already managed to up our original development from the I9000 to the other 13 devices, this in theory is harder than what is seems.
I currently build the 14 devices which are on the site, and I work within the frameworks to make the stables more reliable, I dont have my team do this as its not a simple means of adding a line or 2, it is reverse engineering the frameworks, finding the correct files to modify and then testing it across each device to make sure that one issue fixed, doesnt resolve in another else where.
Other developers
Im happy for other developers to come on board and help port the Galnet MIUI Scotland roms, infact Id even be happy to supply a FTP location for you to upload directly, however I require that you provide me a link to the rom and any issues that may be there! I also require that you stick around to offer support.
If you do wish to join the development team, then please contact me! Id be happy to support your work.
V4 MIUI Builds
These will be coming very soon, we have not been supporting these builds because there was very little information and support we could supply whilst these were in early development. Im currently in the process of testing V4 builds, and making sure they are stable enough for release within the next few days/weeks (an ETA will be released shortly, once the team have agreed V4′s are stable enough!).
Funding
This is the major factor when it comes to anything, Galnet MIUI Scotland were condemned from sites due to the way in which we were trying to get additional funding, some found our Groupies section to be forceful on our users, Im sure now time has passed you are aware this is not the case. However servers do cost money, my time costs money and my friends and staff members take time out from their days to help.
If you can help support Galnet MIUI Scotland, in any way, we would like to hear from you. Thanks to Thomas and Niels we are secure with hosting, so this isnt a worry, its future development on other handsets which is concerning us. If you can help then please do so!
The future?
Well the future of Galnet MIUI Scotland is secure at present, we will continue to develop on the handsets we can, and we will continue to try to port and as in the ICS circumstance be the first to port them across to handsets when available. We have been known for our 1st within the Android community even throughout the flaming and banning and we will continue to do so! We might not get the credit we deserve, but hey, at least we know and our fan base know that Galnet MIUI Scotland, can and do make the Android community a better place!
Kindest Regards,
