Just wanted to bring some good news, in case you havn't heard. Oppo has reviewed their OS-strategy and even though they’re proud of ColorOS they’ve realised it’s not what everybody wants, especially in countries outside Asia.
So they’ve decided to split their devteam and let one part focus on delivering a near stock android version based on AOSP. For the R5/R5s, apart from the camera app and screen off gestures, the ROM will be 100% AOSP.
As for updated to the rom, the initial AOSP ROM will be released based on Android 5.1.1 and the Find 7 has already received the update. R5/R5s is next in line and will get 5.1.1 soon and a promise of 6.0 early 2016.
There still is hope for Oppo!
Cheers!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WklHXS7EoGg
if you look in the comments, The closest thing to an eta is February
AOSP has been release in closed beta... i've signed up and will get back to you guys as soon as i've flashed it.
Cool thanks, led us know as soon as you have news .
Do you have a link to the sources? And/or to the rom to download?
Edit: nevermind, I found the link to the forum and how to apply :good:

Nice to see you here.
Your Lollipop Rom for SG3 LTE is fantastic. My son is enjoying Lollipop.
I am still on KitKat with R5.
Hope that when you have sources to start your magic
Nice to hear that you and/or your son is enjoying some of my builds :good:
That would be great, but oppo github has no activities since weeks, but I am watching other repos too .
So, I got in the private testing group and finally got around installing the new ROM part of the Spectrum project.
The ROM is based on 5.1.1 and definitly feels snappy, however, there are quite a few bugs needing ironing out.
I made a little teaser for you guys: https://youtu.be/9EYWkox82Ew
Feel free to ask any question you might have.
Cheers!
Hey cool sounds good thanks for the info...do you have an idea how long it will last till it will be released? And whether sources (and if "only", local manifest, device, kernel and vendor repos) will be uploaded to github?

Some update, a new alpha was released two days ago and it's MUCH more stable... almost all the bugs are gone and the ones that are left are minor or insignificant.
I feel the public release is very close now
The sources will be uploaded to git as soon as the dev's feel the build won't risk bricking devices, in other words colse to public release
Cheers!
super many thanks for the info and the update!

Public release will come this weekend if everything goes well.
Alpha 2 is somewhat stable. Batterylife and some rarely signal drops and laggy performance are the last bugs.

I'm not so optimistic... It all depends on how good the devs want to public release to be. If they didn't care so much, alpha 2 would have been the public release already. I think they do care and i think it's important for them that this project gets recieved well since it's somewhat a new concept.
But i hope i'm wrong and they're compiling public beta 1 as we speak (write)

A beta can be stable until proven otherwise... so your question is hard to answer.
There are still some issues but the phone works fine for every day use.

Nightlies are probably going to be less stable.
Basically, when you get a nightly, it's not yet been released. It's what somebody was working on last night...when they quit working on it, whether successful in what they had been working on or not, it was uploaded - hence the name, nightly.
And now you know.
And knowing's half the battle.

Well its slightly more than just something someone happened to be working on and left it!
I'm using the KANG of 20120216 and finding it is far better than my experience with .06!
And I'm about to flash 20120217.

EDIT: I re-read this reply after posting my response, and the first sentence is just incorrect. A 'nightly' is nothing "more than just something someone happened to be working on and left it".
The rest is subjective opinion, but the definition of what a nightly is can be found clearly explained below.
I think you've misunderstood me, or something else somewhere along the line.
I'm not saying that they're better or worse than official releases.
I was merely pointing out that the way they come about, is that they aren't fully evaluated and tested for stability in order to be released publicly as a finished product.
Before a major release, devs will typically spent time testing their software themselves, in addition to sending it out to 'focus groups' (they aren't REALLY focus groups but serve the same function) where they are further tested...then upon completion of testing, or when a threshold of minimum functionality has been reached (often with a pre-specified maximum number of bugs or critical failures) they can be released publicly.
Nightlies don't go through that extensive testing. That's where the name comes from. The devs 'clock out' and the ROM is built, and posted as a 'nightly'.
From the CM Team:
... Lastly we have the Nightlies, which are as volatile as a firmware can get. These releases keep coming at an interval of a day or two and if you do end up trying one of these, do not be alarmed if the your device goes cuckoo on you. These ROMs are largely untested, and as advised by CyanogenMod, not meant for use for an average user. These releases, are meant to test untested waters with tweaked codes that may or may not break your phone.

My understanding was that the nightlies were being built automatically by a script that pulls the most recent source from the cm server. As new code is added daily by devs it is automatically put into nightly builds for testing.

As far as I'm aware, you are correct.
Hey guys,
I just want to add, the one of the developers of the official CM9 alpha release is recommending users install the nightly as there may not be an official update pushed put anytime soon.

Hi,
This seems to be a really really good news...
BUT it has to be mentioned that this source doesn't seem to be released by Xiaomi themselves.
So before we start ranting about it, I think it would be wise to wait to see if this is for real of if it is some kind of "generic" thing
If it's "generic" it will work... not a problem. But some things might not (because of missing driver if it's "unofficial"). And some will work but not exactly as they should (i.e. : battery life that will drain too much).
I'm waiting (patiently) and hoping for this to come true !!!!
Regards.

I understand that... But look at one plus devices for example...They release source code on first day itself... In just 3-4 days , there will be rooting guides , twrp etc will happen ... after 10 days there will be custom roms and mods etc... Just example, not exact fact... But here everyone is taking precautions due to last failure of "open source" thing.. that's why I am too taking slow steps to buy... This time it will be different! I hope so that!
Cause I am learning c and c++ and soon i also wanna start some development as hobby and this device is best in terms of everything , but I have to sell other two old devices which I was hoping for development experiment cause 30k rs ( in india ) is costly for me as student. I was gonna buy mi a1 which is in my budget but then xiaomi done "great job" by releasing nougat kernel source code after 4 months and when device on Oreo!! Let's see how development will kick start here...
You said it yourself. It's a hobby. Just wait and you will see that a lot of stuff will come. Be patience

Yup... Very true... Excited ..
First thing takes time.
Once we get that first kernel/ROM, then we can see bunch of the stuff comes every day.
Twrp is the major one for now.
Once galactic stryder started to collected crowd funding to buy a new le max 2 and then also ordered it and then it now arrived because of some issues. Anybody can tell me what happened to the money of yours you donated? And why he is not developing? Just curious to know that!
Heyyo, he posted a while back that he has had stuff going on in life so it was delayed a few months for software development.
Tbh even once he starts it could be a few months before he has a properly working x2 build as he uses his own kernels with some stuff based on Darkobas (Oreo) and I haven't seen anything happening there either... So really who knows when we shall see some AOSPA x2 stuff.
Such is the way with crowdfunding anyways. We funded a device for him and it will take time for things to get done. I know I donated a bunch too but hey I am barely making progress on Oreo but I try with my limited software development skills and time.
He wrote to me that let max 2 "will be supported on our AOSPA 8 from April"
Let's wait for the guy solve his issues. Nobody forced us to donate. I am sure that he didn't run away with the LeMax2 :laugh: Any user should understand that developers are also people with jobs, family, etc. Heck, even to reply to xda Q&A takes time (thanks @ThE_MarD), so it's often to see that there's no answer from the dev to "why torch is not working" question or stuff like that.
Honestly speaking, even without him, the development of X2 is at a very good level by my standards.
I think we should also donate to infrag and all the others who worked really hard to fix the builds for this device.
Thanks to all for info

Hi, sorry for the delay, the phone has reached my door only yesterday, 5 months waiting - or even more - it's good that I have time now to develop and the phone, I just didn't get to XDA those last months so I get the hesitation of all the users when I was off and without the phone; time's passed and as you can see on my Github we have started moving again, wrote all my Kernel script to support the new device on both versions - one Kernel fits all, right? (my LG G2 users should remember that one) - as I'm planning to support stock M versions and the upcoming, if ever coming, N versions of EUI.
The stock Kernel code is a mess just like the one from Pro3 - what did I expect? - so I may time until Saturday to get the vanilla CAF one up and running stable. After that I'll set up my Ryzen machine with another distro, probably BBQ, to compile a more recent version of N or O.
I have just updated to the latest Chinese ROM (X821) to compare the Kernel messages and take some information to merge with my previous work, I'll open a DEVB thread as soon as I get something stable running for EUI users.
Hope that clears out any misunderstandings...

Yup you heard right it's starting back up and if you're a beta tester previously for the Axon 7 Oreo builds you should be getting contacted soon.
Peace!
Kudos to ZTE for continuing this after that long stretch of downtime. Looks like they're doing right by us; I really appreciate this.
Right now it seems to be only for the US tho. Saw a post on reddit where someone got an email for US beta testing.
Sadly ztemobile.de is still redirecting to the chinese site. I really hope the site comes back. Or that at least the G model gets back on track too to receive oreo.

I'm guessing (maybe hoping) that that screenshot is unrelated. Surely they can't be releasing only a V8 update and not v8.1.
Seems like ZTE could so with some cross region collaboration with releasing updates. It's a bad practice not to make updates world wide.
I know there may be small differences, especially with modems but still..

I'm sure that patch was left somewhere in the update servers and since they're back online now, people received it.
I'ts not new per se because it's from March, so clearly they didn't release new stuff yet (also don't know if they started to work on the update or not). However, I have my doubts about 8.1... hopefully it's 8.1 and not 8.0., but we will see.

You probably right.
I received an email from ZTE a few days ago that read new Oreo build ready for testing. Has a survey for you to fill out. I contacted the person and was told , build is wrapping up inner testing and will be pushed to beta testers soon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The build is the last before final release.
