well the desire is already hdpi we only actually need source code when porting the imagery
because the 9.png (i think) is created when compiling the apps

Ok. And what is the reason that miui devs wont release source code?

No idea actually seems stupid they could atleast release it or they should do a mdpi version

actually it is illegal in most countries not to release source code
android is open sourced in gplv2(i think)
and that states that all modifications to apps and system must be released open source

checked their whole website no contact what so ever
but if there are someone that wants to port the 9.png files then we maybe could make it work

Is their stuff covered by GPL? Android being open source doesn't mean anything that runs on it has to be as well. HTC doesn't need to open source Sense for example.

well sense is a standalone ui (launcher) like an app
but the actual android code that they edit is released
miui is built from aosp which is covered by GPL so that means that they must release big portions of the source code

The only thing they need to release source code for is the kernel

And I read somewhere that they released kernel source code.
