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.
I am curious if anyone is currently working on getting CM (or any custom ROM) working for our devices. I'm not trying to bug anyone or get an ETA, but I was thinking about attempting to port CM with their tutorial.
If anyone is working on porting a ROM, or has any tips for me I'd love to talk. Thanks.
I've just started looking into porting CM over to the 5x. I've never built a port before and I'm a bit lost in the CM documentation for it. Feel free to PM me or post below with any tips or advice.

I have only built unofficial builds before, but hopefully since we have source and other Huawei devices with CM, it should be fairly easy.
If you haven't built CM for a device that it's already been ported to, I'd recommend doing that before you attempt to port it.
Good luck. I'll post any progress I make.
Am too eagerly waiting for cm on 5x .fed up of bad performance from stock .heating up too much .I was really disappointed by the heating problem .
What else I had hopes On was the on cm12.1 or 13 .
I usually check for a thread if anyone build one cm ROM for our device but still the development haven't started !

It's still early. The fact that Huawei makes bootloader unlock codes available and has provided the amount of source code for the kernel that they have has allowed development here to happen much more rapidly than many devices do (particularly devices that lie out side of "volume" interest -- like an S5 or S6). I'm pretty optimistic.
The flip side is that life is so busy for me at the moment that it makes patience pretty easy (as in, if a stable cm13 suddenly became available I still would take my sweet time in getting around to flashing it). If I had more time on my hands it would probably be different.
Yes lets see how long we need to wait !
Can someone (hopefully a dev like @deadman96385, @EarlyMon @cyrusalmighty) confirm/agree that the Honor 5X's (I have KIW-24, US ver.) vendor = HONOR and codename = HNKIW-Q. I'm a little perplexed by what the codename is since HNKIW-Q doesn't seem right. I got that name from the build.prop ro.product.device like CM recommends.
Can anyone confirm that I have the vendor and codename right? Thanks.
EDIT: After looking at similar Huawei devices (Ascend Mate 2) it looks like the codename should just be "kiw". The Mate 2's actual ro.product.device = hwMT2LO3, but it's CM codename is "mt2." Because of this, I think for the CM codename should be "kiw". Does that sound right?

In theory but the kiw stands for kiwi this info is directly from Huawei and we all like Kiwi more lol. You also do have a L24 US variant

That cm tree was just to build cm recovery we are still in the very early stages of a full cm tree.
I wanted to ask, witch Roms are stable and support all features of Kenzo.
It seems that in several Roms there are different Problems,
from wakelocks and Battery drain,
over Wifi Problems
to missing Fingerprint or VolTE support.
Is it a Problem with Android 6.0 or also with 5.1 based Roms?
This should be in the Questions & Answers section. However, I have official CM 13.0 and I haven't encountered any of the problems that you mentioned above. If you read instructions carefully and understand what you're doing, you won't have any trouble as long as the rom you are flashing supports those features. If you head over to the Android Development section, you can see the features that each rom does and doesn't support. If the OP says it is supported but you can't get it to work, then the problem comes from your side. Before flashing make sure you have read and understood the required steps and have taken all the necessary precautions to avoid ending up with a "bricked" device. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks for your reply,
yes i know what im doing (had Nexus 4 and flashed it more than a hundred times).
I normally check first post (+ following from OP) and the last sites of the Thread to see if there are bugs or not (cause "no bugs" in OP-Thread is not always correct).
But if CM13 is, so far, bug free and full featured (fingerprint and so on) than i will give it a try.

It is. I've been using it for almost 1 month now, and I can say it's probably the most stable and complete rom for me. I also flashed the CM 13.0 supported firmware along with Radon Kernel and the device is blazing fast. As for the battery, I can get 1 week+ with minimal usage, and about 2-3 days with heavy usage which is pretty impressive for a hexa-core device with a 1080p screen.

I was wondering about this "firmware" thing, never had to upgrade any software. Normaly just flash the Rom.
I was also wondering what's the difference to the unofficial CM13

Well, if you are going to flash this rom you are going to have to flash the appropriate firmware too, since CM is based on it. If you flash the rom without flashing the firmware, you might end up with missing options in settings (I tried this and the "fingerprints" tab was missing). As soon as I flashed the firmware everything got fixed. Also, an official rom means that it is developed by a member or a group of members that have created the original project, while unofficial roms can be built by anyone. For example I can take a CM build and customize it the way i want and then release it to the public. This makes it an unofficial rom, since I'm not a member of the CM development team. But if a rom or an update releases on the CM website, then it is considered to be official.
By the way about the VoLTE support, quoting from OP Q&A:
Q) Is VoLTE supported? (Also useful if you have GApps related problems).
A) No. We use all proprietary blobs from MIUI Marshmallow alpha 'leaked' builds and those builds itself do not have it working. So we'll have to wait until Xiaomi fixes it in their marshmallow builds in future. Also we can't fallback to old LP radio blobs/libs and are not suited with current setup. #blamexiaomi

I guess you'll have to wait for Xiaomi to release a stable working MM build if you want voLTE support. :/
Has anyone seen or heard of any working nougat roms for the honor 5x
You know, Android 6/6.0.1 is stil in Beta? I think we should finised this version before we start with Android 7.
But if anyone will start with Android 7for Honor 5x i would love it
Once one is released I'm sure it will have it's own thread. I doubt anyone would be using a 7.0 ROM and keep it a secret from everyone.
I don't see the need for 7.0, I mean, it's just going to boot slower. Some people just like higher numbers I guess.
This thread should be in the Q&A forum. Maybe a mod can move it.

Hi All!
Is there a way to get lineage 14.x on le pro 3 Elite (X722)? I've been searching online, but all information seems to be related to X720 model, and there is basically nothing (or very little) regarding the X722... I was hoping to be able to root my device, Install lineage OS, and then un-root (due to using some corporate apps which don't allow devices to be rooted).
Please let me know in case you have some info. I will greatly appreciate your help!
Thanks!
Mick
Hey
As far as i know Leeco didn't released their open source code for x722 and that's why there is no custom roms. I'm a little bit confused because they shared their open source code for many models and i don't know why they didn't do that for x722 :C
tried booting this rom

I didn't tried any rom and at the moment i don't have this phone. I think different processor than in leeco x720/x727 make it useless to use the 720/727 rom for this device and can only lead to brick phone.
So why does TWRP for x720/x727 work flawlessly on x722?
Also lineage OS developer for lepro3 asked if anyone can give him log files from lineage boot on x722 then he can probably make it work. It seems the issue is not CPU (i guess it is same linux kernel and drivers anyway), but somehow changed boot sequence of the x722 then x720/x727, but i don't really understand this stuff.

I don't agree regarding the battery, but an sd slot I definitely miss... the phone itself is good, but it really sucks that we can't put lineage on it. I wish I did proper research before buying it, as I would probably go for a different one.

yea you are right . I saw x626 with 4/64gb on gearbeast for less than 140. But I cancelled the order because there is no ROM support. This model was not released outside of China so it has no google play store originally and no MTK model was made for market outside CN like the 1s thus flashing Indian/Russian or other international ROM is not a possibility.
did anyone update a lineage ROM on the Le Pro x722?

The problem is that the bootloader is locked and there is currently no root for the device... and as it seems like there will never be. one...
It would make this phone so much better if we had the chance to put lineage on it, as LeEco is going under (if not already), and there will be no future updates to the software, even though there are so many bugs... such as you can't change default browser, expand notifications, and so on....

yes, and the camera not auto-focusing when changing from a far to a closer focus or the contrary and you have to be tapping on the screen every time
so in the end maybe the lineage 14 for the x720 and x727 might work fine but the point is that the x722 has a locked door about bootloader and can't open and enter to work on it?

If you have American single sim model then you have to unlock bootloader first then try. I heard most roms are compatible but I am not sure about NFC status.

I will also be able to help once my phone arrives. Wondering what firmware i'll get it with (from BangGood).
When I scanned xda I saw official lineage for x72x so i assumed it was supported - the title is a bit misleading. Probably wouldn't have ordered it if I read the whole thread.
That said, I'm in it for the long haul now, and might actually be a good opportunity for me to actually give something back to the xda community (besides $).
Too many wrong infos in this topic.
- Bootloader is locked ONLY in 026s stock rom and it CAN be unlocked by flashing 001d dev release.
- You DON'T flash x720 roms to x722 since you will easily get a nice brick.
- You DON'T flash stock 026s through TWRP (especially from geekbuying vendor 020s rom with twrp)
- x722 has root in tora33 custom rom - this is a fresh stuff so check that thoroughly
