XIAOMI will open the source code MIUI in 2013
Recently, interesting news appeared on the official XIAOMI website. Not all MIUI fans will perceive them with the same enthusiasm, the news is good and not very good, but nevertheless they determine the MIUI course in 2013.
1. Development and support of MIUIv4 will be completely discontinued, and support will continue only for those devices for which Android 4.1 has been released officially.
2. Since we have only 5 people who are responsible for porting to Xiaomi, they will fully engage in the support of only a few top models from well-known manufacturers. This means less firmware, but more stability.
3. MIUI code will be fully open! Straight from Xiaomi. This is great news! This can solve 99% of all porting problems. After that, we can easily transfer MIUI to almost any device for which there is a CM or AOKP.
4. More MIUI firmware from enthusiasts and unofficial MIUI developers will appear.
5. It will be a good year! All these changes are planned for February 2013.

As a longtime fan of MIUI firmware and the owner of one of the top devices (Samsung GT-N7100 Galaxy Note II), this news is good news, I hope that finally the developers from XIAOMI, after they stop spraying on the support of numerous devices, will be able to concentrate efforts and modify the firmware for my phone. At the moment, WiFi Direct, TV Out is not working for me, there is no support for a video call through a mobile operator, inconvenient work with contacts, and some of Samsung’s goodies are still not working. If earlier it was possible to understand when MIUI was done on CM source codes, now it is done on the basis of the flow from Samsung and the above-mentioned troubles are not at all encouraging.
Developers did not like XIAOMI for taking open source code of enthusiasts and making it closed, I hope in 2013 the situation will change for the better, and we will see many new modifications of this wonderful firmware from the guys with XDA!
