Who are behind Xiaomi.eu ? Do they make money ? How? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

They seem to work hard to tweak/improve MIUI. But why?
Are they Europeans?
What motivate their incredible work? (Are they Europeans? )
Strangely I don't find anything on the topic. I'm curious to know more about their motivation in part by curiosity and also because I'd like to know the amount of trust I should give.
Any information would help.

Ingbrzy is Slovak, he is the founder. Don't know about others but he is making it in his free time. They're making money from donations and ads so servers and websites can be on.

I would assume that they are given some perks from Xiaomi.
Ceo of Xiaomi: "Lei Jun" made a couple of comments with the Xiaomi.Eu forums 2 months ago. Basically just thanking people for helping test the beta based roms.
I thought that was awesome. you can see his posts here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/members/china-lei-jun.257940/#latest-activity

I just donated to Ingbrzy so I think yeah, they make money off donations. And I am just one - think of the many different devices and people willing to donate.

[ROMS] Droid Incredible - The ROM thread

If someone would like the information from this thread, please pm me. I will no longer be maintaining this thread nor will I be contributing in anyway to this community.
I want to say thank you to the developers, you have made my time here fun. To the people who don't think their opinions are superior to yours, enjoy yourselves. To everyone else... you need to stop and have a reality check. Your opinions are not superior to anyone else's, no matter how much you believe it to be.
I will stay active until someone pm's me for the thread info.
Very useful. Thank you
Nice work! Thanks.

ha! unfortunately, no, it's on XDA, so it should (hypothetically) be easier for people to find. It's also a work in progress, I want to do so much with this. Being a college student on break has it's advantages.
With the themes, do I flash the themes or use metamorph?

You aren't seriously giving me an english lesson right now are you? My mind literally feels like its been raped by my finals and you're giving me a hard time about a contraction I messed up?
You may want to include a short explanation for each ROM category (AOSP, Sense, New Sense, Senseless) as well, because the differences between, say, an AOSP and Senseless ROM are difficult to understand for many newcomers.

yep, this is my plan in the near future. I am so stressed out about this week, though... lol. For the next 3 weeks I have nothing but nothing to do, I plan to make this thread awesome.
Please continue to leave suggestions for the thread. If it gets too cluttered with my silliness, I'll just make a new one (v.2). But I will definitely keep this up to date.
Very convenient, thank you for putting in the time to put this together. It is now part of my favorites.

...most dumb post I've ever seen in the last months.
I really trying to raise the user experience of users by spending a lot of time and effort in those mods....and I'm doing a lot of mods as you can see in my signature.
Well you can believe it or not, I dont just spent hours on those mods, more like days and weeks. On my leedroid tweaks project even months.
..and I'm doing this for fun and SHARE it with YOU for FREE!
So what the problem when I just put one rule up for DEVS and THEMERS to wait a t least on week before including it?
On that way I can ensure some activity in my threads and not to lose all users by day one, because all are kanging me on day two?
...YOu're really a poor guy - You are talking about whats with xda now?
Look at yourself, too much ignorant7dumb users here just leechicng stuff without beeing able to eben thank a dev for therer time spending in their projects.
Could write even more...you really made my day..worse. Thx.

Dumb? Asking people to wait a week to get permission to use your work and you call me dumb? Yea request they ask your permission and give you credit for your hard work but wait a week! Man people like you is what's wrong with xda and no dumb leechers in here. The guy posted and stated it wasn't his work and direct linked to your thread. No problem with that at all. All he did wrong was provid file on download. He was tryna to help not leech. There is a major difference

lol if you didnt need users why be a dev on here and make your rom public? you would just keep it for your own private consumption period. the mere fact it is here on xda means you crave that following that comes from users liking your work and thanking you for it! i like your work but wont kiss ass because i do! if you posted something i didnt like id tell you same way! you must have had people who didnt like your work but you didnt stop all dev cause of it did you? we are adults in here and this childish attitude is not acceptable.
you may want to retract that statement about not wanting users mate as they are who made you who you are on here. if they all hated your **** or didnt use it you would be nothing on here and wouldnt still be dev_ing. oh and i never said you had an attitude but dont be judging me dude. i will freely express my opinion always

Everybody is entitled to there opinion, you ..me.. and all here
But we are NOT all adults here, and English is for a lot NOT there native language...
So the way you write down your opinion is very delicate.
I respect you for what you do for the community, even if your not called a dev.
You are a very helpfull person... Thats why I did not expect you to write your opinion like the way you do.

can developer steal a rom from another developer?

how to identify the thief?

It's not really stealing i guess as long as you put out credits of the people who created it, or by asking permission from the developers.

if the "owner" has not been aware about any usage of his rom, is it faire to thread the rom? "credits" are given when a team were worked out the rom, or when you take the result of someone's job and just say "hey, i take it" ?
in my opinion, it is situational and depends on the context.
A =/= B =/= C
But they could share similarities that most people would agree something was done morally wrong. I guess you could share with us the situation then we can give a better opinion?

i just wondering is there a sort of "widly known gentelmen agreement" about such situations. and the second matter is to get an idea how both parties (both developers) can get "a profitable solution" for both (= peace)
In my opinion, the developers community should be honest for it members. And other users have to proud for the achievments of this community. All team's results would be better, than results of each developer. That's why they should be together ^.^

the problem is HOW can others results be used for making app / rom etc?

To work together - allowed, to use with proper credits - allowed. To edit build.prop and post as own rom - not. I think so.

If you suspect something, you can always go and compare files.
Technically you can do whatever you want since android is open source.

if someone did not done it (consult) before he take a part of rom, what will happen? does it mean that othe other community will declare a boycott against him? or just say "you'd better stop doing it"?
Of course you're all talking about the Rom owners, Google... Right? Or perhaps HTC? I would be very surprised if any Rom posted in our dev thread have asked Linus Torvalds personally if they could post a derivation of his operating system here.
You don't see too many credits to those 3 either...
It's public domain, nobody here has built a Rom entirely from scratch all have borrowed from the community and the source, and if they offer even one piece of code that's new, I say good on them, they are contributing to the community, and the community will take from and build on that too.
But let's cut to the chase, why are you asking the question? You're planning to contribute? Or are you here to point the finger at someone for stealing your creation?

Like everyone has stated, being a open source code and that no one in here is making profit from the roms, (on this site at least i can not speak for the world) it is really a null point of theft everything is free you can not steal something that is owned by the public. As well if you plan on taking something from a rom I would strongly suggest that you ask, and give proper credit were it is due. personally if i worked on a project and someone was using my development with no permission or credit i would publicly humiliate them in anyway possible so that the ass who "stole"
my work would never be able to call it his own again. As well the XDA community is great group of people who if you steal anything from another rom with no permission will find out and ostracize you for your pathetic attempt to pass of someone else's blood sweat and tears as your own.

[Q] Whats with the rabid obsession over "Thanks" in this forum?!

I recently start using the Mini because my X10 is in the repair shop and I must say that I find it disturbing how these devs seem more interested in how many "thanks" they get instead of providing quality work to share wit the community!
I've owned several android devices and I must say that this part of XDA seems like another website entirely.. devs over here wll even hold off on releasing roms unless they get certain amounts of thanks..
Can someone explain why the ridiculous fascination with the thanks button?

I don't see this happening,though some ask for it in their sigs..as long as it's polite it's fine else u can report it.
yeah I give thanks all the while but to create topics saying" I found a great fix for a problem, and if I get some thanks I might release it" Really? I saw that a couple days in the Android Dev section and was confused.. its like a currency for releasing roms or something..
I dont want to call out anyone and post links but I'm sure you guys have seen it.
That thread was a spam and has been deleted, if we both are talking abt the same thread that is.
hey guys come on link me to that ****ing tread,i realy have to see that sit.....lol
seeing that discussion about thanks is going on
I wanna ask something
in my lag-free script there are 2 version one is for thanked users and other anyone can download
only difference is in special script, one can put his own name as the folder, I did this by seeing app devs, script is the result of my 23days hard work
please tell if it is OK

When could we except Kernel Sources?

Hi all.
My question is about kernel sources. I know devs can do magic if the sources are out there.
So, does Xiaomi typically give kernel sources? When would they do that? And especially why?
I am trying to understand how Xiaomi stands in that regard.
Cheers!
They are some of the worst. Even when they do release it, it is broken or incomplete. No one that has any choice buys their devices.

You can think what ever you want but my comments are very much true. If a developer is looking for a device to develop on Xiaomi is is avoided due to their lack of following the GPL. Think I am wrong why not have a read HERE where we talk about it in length.

No idea. Their selection criteria which device source to release also remains unrevealed.
maybe 1year after the release of Mi5. Thats what they did with Mi3 right?
The kernel sources are published. Are they complete and are they useful for the dev(s)?
here are the kernel sources

They are some of the worst. Even when they do release it, it is broken or incomplete. No one that has any choice buys their devices.

@thunderrr0 I know they are published but I have not found anybody who can tell whether the sources can be used or are broken.

Only developers will know for sure unless you download the source and try to build it as is. Most of the time there takes lots of fixes and hacks to get it working. Main reason most developers won't buy their devices.
