Thats a shame

woop, nvmd, didn't read the server stuff.
I didn't wanted to try this out as I knew KK builds are not feature-full... Or were, because this one seems to have more features than JB versions. I will download it and install it in the next minutes. I was wondering... May I help you with some new screenshots because the ones from "Screenshots" sections are pretty old, also being from 4.3 .

One issue I have noticed with the latest 4.4 Carbon builds I've tried (CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140204-0011-d2dcm.zip - EUR and CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140209-0004-d2dcm.zip - EUR) is with Skype. When I make a video call, the other person can't see my video feed. I've tried switching the camera to front and back camera but had no luck. Go back to 4.3 and it works fine.
Just a minor issue but thought I'd report it.

I was having the same issue saying it may be synching last night.
Had to downgrade from the one on February 11th as the phone wouldn't sleep with it installed. Was starting awake all the time. Hopefully sorted it with this latest version.
If not, apart from the Skype video problem it doesn't seem to have any problems I've found.

Its Official Guys as Promised by Xiaomi & Hugo the kernel source is released.
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/cancro-kk-oss
Now every Developer will have taste of delicious rom's.
-------------------------------------------
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE
Xiaomi Had Meet in Chennai (india) today.
In Q&A Section i had priviledge to ask Hugo Regarding Kernel Source.
He replied that in late march we will be getting the Kernel Source for Mi3 Variant and infact they gonna make sure that after the MI Note they will try to release the kernel source of the every product they launch after Three Months. WE waited a lot and more two months Remaining.
:victory:

So I guess everyone knows about the AOSP ROM 4.4.4 for MI3 By IVAN. The news is IVAN is working on the Build Project For Android 5.0 in Mi3.
Ivan already made a rom for MI 2 /2s.

On offical side miui forum there a lots of stupid threads like "Do you want a stable version of miui 6??":cyclops:
so it's nothing in front of this .
why stupid? we can share here in this thread all the lollipop related coming news and keep the other thread only for aosp related info. i think this is useful to keep things clean and separated...
maybe OP should just edit the title to "lollipop for mi3 discussion thread" or similar
Ivan's Android 5.0 Lollipop for Mi3 W / Mi4 CONFIRMED
It seems Ivan (the Xiaomi Dev who releases AOSP ROMs built with official kernel sources for Xiaomi devices) is already working on a Lollipop build for the Mi3/Mi4.
Even though the pic clearly shows a Mi3 WCDMA (i.e. the International variant), thing is, the Mi3 and Mi4 share similar systems. So similar, in fact, that their ROMs are cross-compatible!!
Hence the Mi4 is also DEFINITELY getting an AOSP build from Ivan.
I'll make sure I keep this thread (and my Mi3W) updated.

Please don't compare MIUI forums and XDA .
XDA has its own standard .
This place is not meant for random threads like it is in MI forums .
Though I am not against the OP. Its good keep both kitkat and lollipop separated as there will be confusions.

i hope you are right.. but that wouldn't explain why mi2 had priority respect mi3.. the normal thing would have been to work on mi3 first, and then, eventually, on mi2..... i think?

I believe Mi2's kernel is available for public. but not for Mi3.
I believe that could be a valid reason also that could be the reason why Xiaomi restricted (if at all true) Ivan from releasing it.
there's a thread at the miui board about the 5.0 rom which was started by a moderator. i highly doubt that ivan is banned/restricted from releasing the rom. the 4.4 kitkat rom is kind of a semi-official release, this will be the case with the lollipop, too, i guess. it's just that mi2 was first this time. to be honest, i don't really care about the release date as long as we get a working rom. i never put any pressure on developers, i accept that it will be released when it's ready. in the meantime, i'm happy to use the 4.4 aosp stuff.
waiting time is not frustrating. xiaomi not releasing kernel sources despite numerous promises, that is frustrating.
MI3 TD got lollipop!!:angel:
xiaobai from the Chinese Geek Forum did it.
waiting for MI3W.
"The G2 Dream Team" (and they well deserve that name) has released not one, but TWO lollipop builds for the LG G2. Both ROMs are based on the same build tree, but one ROM is CM12 and the other is a LiquidSmooth 4.0 ROM. Despite being built from the same build tree, they carry different features. They are stable and usable for daily drivers, but they may carry some bugs, like a non-functional video playback, NFC issues for LS/VS980 but it should all be sorted out in the near future. Head over to the threads to read more!:

Older posts:
An increasing amount of devices have been receiving unofficial Android Lollipop 5.0 ports, like the HTC One M8 and the LG Optimus L9. Today another device can be added to the list of phones receiving a treatment with the taste of Android Lollipop, the LG G2. While there generally has been a wide contribution from the community; testing, sharing files and giving ideas, two XDA members stood out in particular in order to create the build, @ylukasy and @InfinitusDesigner. The port is still in a very early pre-alpha stage, and the bugs are barely known yet, but the ROM boots and has even been rooted! While it might be wisest to wait until an official thread has been made before grabbing your devices and start flashing, @ylukasy has already provided a download link for the ROM, and calls for people to help discover the bugs so that they can be eliminated. Please notice that the ROM might not be stable enough to be used as a daily driver, but owners of a LG G2 are officially an important step closer to having a stable Lollipop ROM!
If this post caught your interest and you're willing to take the risk, head over to the last pages in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/unofficial-cm12-nexus-5-posted-t2936398
As previously mentioned, a lot of things are not sorted out yet, and the build might not be for your device number, so make sure you read the entire thread before continuing, or simply wait untill an official thread is made.
Update:
An official thread has been posted and it can be found by following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-android-lollipop-fast-clean-t2941922
The build is a port of the Nexus 5 ROM, and users of the ROM have been saying that the rom is very fast and fluid, calls work, camera works (although the quality is inferior), but other users have been reporting random reboots and incompatibilities with certain apps such as YouTube or WhatsApp.
by vPro97
This post will be updated regularly when new information regarding Lollipop ports surface.
Fantastic News! Will get round to trying it shortly, thanks for the link!
While I have my doubts about it being functional (or even booting) on my LS980, I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
Nice to see things moving at breakneck speeds these days.
On a side note, I just read the AnandTech review of the Nexus 6 and am happy to report that my well over a year old G2 beats it in several benchmarks so I'm pretty satisfied at the moment, especially considering I got it for free. I mean really...
In before "no build for xxxx?!?!?!?"
Anyone know how to port a d802 rom to d800?
Ready to try it out and see what happened..??
his build is from the same source the other was he doesn't deserve credit for it. it's using cm12 kernel and dev claims it's using nexus 5 port yet requires gapps and no signs of any nexus 5 code at all.
Wouldn't it be alot easier to just post the download link here?

It's not my work, and there are some steps which must be followed in order to make it work. I am just objectively informing any news regarding Android Lollipop for the LG G2.
OP has been updated.

Hi everybody!!
I need a tester please:
I built pure AOSP for the D802 from sources of Android right now, has anybody time to test it?
It is an experimental build and I didn't test it right now, so I don't know if it is working, please make a backup from your current rom.
The build comes with an built in CWM recovery and should be with root access. It can be flashed with the same instructions like the CM 12 build.
Edit: Bootloop right now ... Anybody, can you take a logcat?

Thank you in advance!! Please anybody who tries it: can you send me a pm?

I'd love to test this for you, but I'm on Sprint LS980 Would you mind making a build for us?

Yes sure, but right now, I have to solve the bug, that the d802 wouldnt boot, so this may take some more time until I build it for other devices too.

As we all know Xiaomi released KitKat source code for cancro last year, it certainly helped devs. But since the release of marshmallow there has been some significant changes in kernel. Due to Xiaomi not releasing latest source code, it has been a tough road for developers who work hard to bring out the best in our device. Even cm kernel is based on KitKat, it seems. So I decided to create this thread to get suggestions for moving forward with getting source code for our developers
Btw I created a poll in miui forum to get their user's opinion and numbers
Any suggestion on this issue is welcome
Agree with you. I rate the miui post.
The users with miui account have to comment it and rate.
Thanks

I'm wondering it too. Seems Carbon has not massive development last time, according to it's changelog.
UPDATE:
@rcstar6696,
LOS started to push Oreo, don't you think LOS development could continue? Maybe it wouldn't take much efforts, but we could enjoy most popular after-market ROM on our device. I think it deserves it
What do you think?

Hey
If i had more time i would do it but i can't maintain 4 devices with more then one rom. I build carbon for z2 ,z2 tablet, z3 and mi6. And another thing is lineage has a lot of privacy Restriktions which are very hard to get it ok in all points.
So i know a lot of guys want lineage but i simply can't provide it due the lack of time. Last thing is i'm carbon maintainer for a long time and don't want to change it as the guys there are really good.

Carbon CR 6.1 Error 7
Hi,
thanks a lot for doing this work - keeping Xperia Tablets still "alive"
I just tried to install the mentioned carbon ROM (castor version) on my SGP 521 tablet but the installtion process failed with error 7
now I found some information about modifying the updater script but I feel a little bit uncomfortable in doing it without confirmation by whom mdeveloped that ROM
Could you please indicate the right work around
Thanks
great to see this still getting updates, whoever maintains it, thanks for the great work! this is the only reason my tablet is still in use!
