MIUI Android - Redefining Android

Hi everyone,

I know there is a lot of talk on the chinese and english official forums about making an English MI BOX UI (User Interface).

Good news! I've just received my MiBox sample from our partners ibuygou.com, impressive delivery speed via DHL and beautifully packaged inside the DHL packaging as well.

Here's some pics for you all. The great news is i am starting work on an English UI replacement, with or without the help of Xiaomi I am bringing this to the community! New MiBox forum will be opening soon as well for users to discuss this cool device!

Enjoy the photos!

Xiaomi have released clear documentation of the MIUI Theme Policy coming into effect as of 1st May 2013 :

Thank you MIUI-ers for all your comments and feedback. MIUI team had an in-depth discussion on some of the pertinent issues that you guys have brought up. Hopefully the below will clarify some of the details on the new policy and provide users more insight in what our MIUI theme team has in mind for the international community:

1. Sharing your themes - Free to share themes on forums, XDA and other websites
There are some misconceptions here in that MIUI is only allowing users to share their theme designs via the MIUI Theme app. This is not true.

Designers are free to continue to share their themes on the forums or websites they choose as long as they upload their designs to designer.xiaomi.com. Again, we are initializing this procedure to protect designer’s design and copyright issues.

2. Previewing themes
Designers are allowed to preview their themes without uploading and posting it publicly. To preview, designers must setup an account in designer.xiaomi.com and then can preview their themes privately.

3. Tweaking or slightly modifying themes for personal use
Tweaking or slight modifications to existing themes for personal use (e.g. changing icons etc.) are also allowed as long as you registrar a designer account at designer.xiaomi.com. You can act as a designer and tweak as you please without uploading to the public....

As some of you may know (or not) Xiaomi have recently been moving from their old building into a more modern and spacious building.

This move signals the expansion of Xiaomi, after 3 years in Juanshitiandi tower Xiaomi have moved to the 'Rainbow City of China Resource Centre'.

We wish Xiaomi all the best in their new home and hope they settle in well. More pics to follow!
