When it comes to custom roms, MIUI is one of a few names that instantly appears in the minds of a majority of the rooting community. The MIUI experience is extremely popular for its unique approach towards the Android operating system. Yesterday was huge day for the fans of Xiaomi’s interface as the company has dropped a massive bomb on the Android world. For the first time MIUI is finally sharing its goodies and will go open source.

Yes it’s true, Xiaomi has decided to open the flood gates upon the developers of the world and has begun open sourcing its Android application development. While it’s not the entire system, this is some refreshing news as Xiaomi has tried to keep the interface as locked down as possible for quite some time now. The company has also made a statement saying that if they feel the project is successful they will continue to add more applications and code in the future.

Today will be marked in history as the first day that the Xiaomi company decided to begin open sourcing its Android application development to the masses. We would like to thank the engineers, admins and other staff at Xiaomi for their continued support and just to say thanks for listening to our feedback. Currently we have a very close working relationship with the developers / test engineers and product managers at Xiaomi. Your queries are being passed on so please continue to give us your comments.

MIUI fanboys of the world rejoice! Developers can head over here to check out what the company has released so far. We can’t wait to see if Xiaomi continues to update the project and where exactly it will take this beloved rom.]]>
