BLU Products has posted on their Facebook page that they are going to release Android 4.4 Kitkat on 1st May 2014. BLU Products is just like Micromax. They are having most of their devices running on Mediatek Processors and many of them are clones of Micromax Devices. So if they are releasing Kitkat in May, Micromax will also release it by that time or if they get a little late then we can port the Kitkat ROMs which BLU will release to our device. So hope for the best !! Cheers..............................
Here's the link of their Facebook Post - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...0140431605.342398.371974171604&type=1&theater
Update 5th March 2014- Acer has announced Acer Liquid E3 which runs on MTK6589 same as our CHD... Currently it will run Android 4.2.2 out of the box.... But Acer has promised Android 4.4 Kitkat update in Q2 2014 !! So guys when Kitkat releases for it, we can port it to our device... Then it will also get a sweet taste of Kitkat !!
Update 28th June 2014 - Guys BLU has announced that it will start rolling out Kitkat updates to various devices starting today.. The list of devices which will get the update contains many MTK6589 devices like Life Play and Studio 5.5 !! Here is the link - https://facebook.com/photo.php?fbid...0150160140431605.342398.371974171604&refid=17
So guys MMX shouldn't be far of from releasing the updates.. They have said they would rolling out updates in July... Our device would surely be a part of it.. Because they said that all the devices with OTA options are going to get the update and also those without OTA options will get the update too.. So our device has OTA option so it will surely get the update..Best of luck to everyone.. And yes always be positive !!
That is a good news

Guys, one more good news Acer has announced a new phone Acer Liquied E3 which also runs on MTK6589 same as our beloved CHD. Currently it will run Android 4.2.2 out of the box but Acer has promised to provide 4.4 Kitkat update in Q2 2014 !! So we can easily port it our device....
Most probably micromax will release a 4.4 Stock... But if 1% does not, there are many other OEMs who have promised KItkat for Mediatek devices..... So our devs can surely port any of the Kitkat ROMs which will be out in Q2 2014....... So wait patiently !!
OP updated with latest Kitkat release news !!

Well guys here is a good news for all NovaThor device users, the android kitkat (4.4) has been successfully ported to samsung galaxy s3 mini based on CM 11 the ROM is bug free galaxy s3 mini which is a NovaThor chipset device.
Hope so developers take interest in this and port it to our xperia p,u,go,sola
Take a look over here :good: : http://www.xda-developers.com/android/kitkat-conquers-novathor-early-cm11-for-the-galaxy-siii-mini/

Many developers will take interest in this because this is something that all NovaThor devices have been waiting for now lets hope something surprising :good:
munjeni & percy should see this
Awesome news! Hope that the devs can do smth
Ok, so release is coming as I said. But don't expect it to be bugfree - we made a new device sources (it was easier than porting sources from 4.3 and better for overall performance) and we need your reports about bugs!
Starting from tomorrow we're planing everyday nightlies - both CM11.0 and CM10.2 (but remember, CM11 is getting hundreds of commits everyday, so somedays we won't be able to compile it properly, what means no nightly sometimes).
Also Xperia developers asked me for help they to boot CM11 on their Novathor Xperias. As I said to them, I will do my best to help them get working CM11 on other Novathor devices.
So stay tuned, make backup and get ready to test!

But what about bluetooth? Will it work? As much as i want 4.4 i also want working bluetooth and as seen from 4.2/4.3 for our phones i'm not feeling optimistic about it.
Well i dont like CM but i hope we can get a stock KK 4.4 Based Rom for our Xperia P but we shall see in next year how the KK 4.4 looks like on the Z1
Its really great!! lets give the good devs a few weeks time.... the work they are doing is awesome!!

If u have not visited the thread just watch out and read it.
However, the maclaw guy doesn't seem to be interested in sharing the sources. He was banned from the forum once because of this. Seems more like he's trying to generate traffic to his own site.
Maclaw doesn't give his sources
Lets hope possitively
Hey guyz now lets hope possitively and wait what happens i am trying.to see more further development sources on this.

Off course brother if the z1 gets the 4.4 update we might be able to port the launcher and apps to our xperia p. As per google said the low config phones...
with 512 mb RAM will be able to run 4.4 smoothly. Now we have to see that 1x2 ghz xperia p with 1 gb Ram gets a official update or not.
How would be the idea of porting s3 4.4 rom?

Did try but all these patches don't apply since code has changed.
CM 12 , our only hope i think :/
many devs are working for cm 12 development but some problem are occurring with non official device for eg its not loading but it gets stuck with bootloop .so it may take 1-2 months rom come out
Jellybean and kitkat has less difference but lollipop will be big change in UI. So porting will be fantastic but at the same times it will be difficult too.

i think the work on lollipop should start from scratch like we had started cm11.... because the device tree and all the file formats for lollipop installation are different on a large scale... so hope something works out
Currently no one is working on cm12 due to booting problem .I think we will start working on it after the first nightly only

i got this reply from the devs who were working on cm 12 when they said they are currently working on omni rom instead of cm 12
its the recovery they used:- Philz (CWM 9.0.4.8)
Cm12 generates the ROM in a .dat format.
Anyways I'll get back to it soon. For now omnirom is fine and we are able to logcat too.
ROM does not boot due to incompatible libraries.
Many mtk libraries have code that has been depreciated in Lollipop.
Lollipop came

Themed ROMs don't qualify...
Old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 already got customised ROM of Lollipop and it is awesome. Micromax A116 yet to get a stable Kitkat version. So far there is only one Kitkat customised (Discovery) ROM for Micromax A116 with Camera blue patch problem and if flashed solution to blue patch camera, front camera option missing. So there is no complete Kitkat ROM so far. Awaiting Lollipop for Micromax A116 soon.

It will be my first port so if someone have any recommendations I'm taking them
So I have sync the Cyanogen source and a I have modify some file to start building. I will post my first results soon and if someone want to help me you are welcome.

When this version done I will try lollipop.

That is great news indeed. I was quite bummed to see no N3N in the official CM12 supported devices list. I don't get it. This is a brand new 2014 device yet bizzare old phones like Evo 4G is in the official CM12 list.
Many thanks for your effort.
I hope everything goes ok and we can have this great Rom soon.
This device needs more people like you!

It is very strange, yep, we don't have the right support for this good device, few customs rom (that exist thanks to the effort of few developers that decide to create something) .. i hope that the situation will change in the next future but it's not so easy, maybe there is not the sufficent marketing and selling of note 3 neo in the global market, so the poor diffusion maybe is the reason of this situation.
