The petition from change.org is totally wrong. That petition was geared towards ARM, when really it should be for Qualcomm. This new petition is for Qualcomm (so the near 10000 signatures on that other petition are pretty much useless; the only use I can see in them is if Qualcomm is swayed by the number of people supporting the cause).
already signed....also post the links to other fb group and local forum
and how many signatures are needed for this petition? or have to wait qualcomm?

yeah i know about that, but they could just edit the first post
anyway hope that Qualcomm will release the drivers soon, ICS will be great on our O1
EDIT : nearly 1500 signatures, COOL !!!
Previous one had only 4337 signatures under it, and it was just enough to take their attention... Still no replies from officials on their forums...
Back last year, us in the Legend community were harassing HTC on their Facebook page for our Froyo update. Great times!
Now that I own a P500, I want to further make our voices heard through Facebook, so the petition has been (hopefully) made to QC's attention:

Hello, we have seen your feedback on this and we are looking into the matter for any possible solutions. Thanks!

So far, these are the only responses I have seen from Qualcomm (on twitter):
Jun 13: Thanks for your interest. We're considering any possible solutions and will let you know when we have an update.
Jun 15: We're considering any possible solutions and will keep you posted when we have an update. Thanks for your interest!
Jun 16: Thanks for your interest in the OMX drivers. We're considering possible solutions & we'll keep you posted when we have an update.

I'm hoping the wording means something. First they said "we're considering any possible solutions" but now it's "we're considering possible solutions." I might be taking things too far, but by taking out the "any," it sounds like they might have some solutions. Once again, I might just be getting my hopes high.
But onto something more important than wording:
I think instead of asking "please release the drivers," the question should now be "have you found any solutions regarding the omx drivers" or maybe even "what chance do ARMv6 phones have of getting updated omx drivers." I'm hoping for a more definite answer (I'd rather hear that we will not get it instead of waiting for an update that will never come). Can someone ask any of these questions (or a better question if you have one) on their page, preferably twitter because they don't seem to be too active on their facebook page and on their forum).
If they have totally forgotten about us (or are not actually trying to find such solutions), this will remind them that they gave us their word that they will find solutions.
In case you were wondering why I posted this out of nowhere, it is because:
1. Support for this "cause" seems to be dying down now. I don't want it to come to a point where we all just give up and deal with what we have, which is a bug-ridden rom. We can look for more support, but I think it's time we get a somewhat definite answer from Qualcomm.
2. I'm sick of CM7
Of course, we must remember that they don't have to do this and, whether they are successful or not, appreciate that they even replied to our request in the first place.
If they have msm7227a with just the same hardware, but arm7 core, I can't understand why they can't just recompile it for arm6? Strong kernel dependencies?
I think this might be marketing-related.

Definitely agree with you. I don't think a company has any reason to drop support for any of its older products other than to force users to buy the newer products. Really makes it pointless to buy anything at all because they will always release newer products. I just hope Qualcomm lives up to the reputation it set for itself after releasing the Adreno drivers last time.
And I know for a fact that Qualcomm has the power to recompile for ARMv6. After all, Qualcomm did it with the Adreno drivers.

The drivers will be released, just have patience...
If they were to drop their support, they would have already posted that they wont be able to update those drivers...
They are responding to our queries n that means they are working on it...
Have patience, nothing more...

They still may answer 'NO' .
The situation makes me think they might have some marketing agreement on this, not to release updates until their partners are able to sell newer models. They are highly dependent on selling end products after all. If they release them too soon, chinese market might be overfilled with cheap arm6-driven ics devices . They already have cheap arm7 devices though...
Anyway, clear answer is highly awaited by many people watching this threads.

I think they just don't want to release them. They didn't released any code for that chip before. Totally lame.
If they won't support it, maybe we should ask for unsupported version, provided as is?
Since Skype updated to version 4 on Android, the DNA is no longer being supported and you cannot download the new version. Here is what the Skype representative had to say:
Thank you for your reply.
We appreciate you taking time to provide the additional information that we have requested so that we can investigate further on why you are unable to download and install Skype on your device.
We have reviewed our resources and asked our specialized team and we are sorry to inform you that unfortunately, your device is currently not supported by Skype.
We are continuously working hard to create Skype versions that support new/other devices. However creating new versions take time and may not be available in the near future. As soon as a new version is released it will be posted on our website.
We ask for your patience and understanding.
Should you need more assistance, feel free to contact us again.

Yeah, I know it's not supported. The question is why? It's a current phone with very decent specs even now that it is around 7 months old. Are you really gonna tell me that a phone such as the DNA is not supported? What's wrong? It was supported just fine before this ****ty update you decided to put out. But seriously, even if you decide not to officially support it, why not allow the option for us to still download it? I'm sure the DNA can handle it..
Very disappointed in Microsoft.. I await your reply.

Hello XXXX,
We understand that you'd like to know why your device is not supported by Skype.
To clarify, the new 4.0 version of Skype is compatible with Android phones only. As we can see, the HTC Android DNA has the specifications of a "phablet". This means that it is a phone but has the size of a small "tablet" device.
Although most Android phones are supported by the new version of the Skype application, some are left incompatible due to the size, resolution and specification designs of the application. For this, we apologize for we are unable to provide a specific reason why it is not yet supported but we assure you that we are working on developing a version that would work with your device in the future.
We hope that we have given you an idea and we thank you for your time.

I was actually fairly good at my job and explained things to the best of my ability. But the moment you cussed at me, I would probably tell you to speak/act like a damn adult. If you want ro be respected, you have to give it as well. That person could have easily told you to piss off for being a whiny kid. Obviously that rep didn't know why it wasn't supported, you made yourself look like a big baby with your language and use of caps lock. You could have easily asked to be transferred to someone who may know, such as his/her manager or supervisor. Not everyone is as tech savvy as the people on this forum, cut them a damn break.

Hi guys,
Finally, kernel sources have been released. Here's the link : https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/cancro-kk-oss
Past :
After being fed up for long time, we have some good news to cheer about. And the news is from Hugo Barra again. I was going through YouTube and saw Hugo answering 2 people in the comments section about the kernel sources.
Q.1 by Ryan Berkeley -
"Redundant, because I asked this question on another youtube video of yours. Here's the question. When are the kernals going to be released? According to GPL, that needs to be released and we might get a sub forum on XDA for it? This phone isn't for me, but once the phone crosses the warranty stage, I'd like to see it last longer than a mere 2 years like my #lgoptimus2x"
Reply from Hugo : Mi 3 kernel source coming in the next few weeks, please stand by!""
Q.2 by Anish Pawar -
"When is Xiaomi releasing kernel sources for mi3?"
Reply from Hugo : "n a few weeks, we're really sorry about the delay! Has to do with the fact that Mi 4 is using the same kernel source, so we're just putting the finishing touches on what we plan to release.
Source :
Comment 1 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTQsoA4XPdE&google_comment_id=z13kxh2htq20hfkjo04chf5bmozhvhwinyk0k
Comment 2 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTQsoA4XPdE&google_comment_id=z12rebxbblrbcjkyn04cctxjgquje5b4q20
About Hugo Barra's answer on Q2. That's what I've been suspecting long time ago. Well my thought was correct.
I'm a little skeptical to be honest... If mi3 shares the same kernel as mi4 I doubt they would want to release the kernel sources... They may not release the full source... Let's see how this goes!
Sent from my MI 3W using XDA Free mobile app
All we can do is just hope that this time he keeps up his promise!!!Amen
thing is he gave both answers about a month ago, so "a few weeks" have already passed... anyway, let's hope they will eventually release the sources as they are supposed to.
Would be nice..
The frustrated dream of MI3.
It's been a month since Hugo Barra made those comments (in "a few weeks", he said) and still no source code.
Is now reaching the end of the trial period of the Android development for MI3 on this website.
Developers are already getting tired of it.
And users like me are already planning to resell the mobile we thought, with your design and specifications and knowing it would be released "soon" the source code would be one of the best phones of the moment.
For that, stay Xiami no sales, no customers, no developers and only (yes) MIUI fanatics. Nothing more.
Sad end to what could have been a nice story. Thanks, Xiaomi, frustrate many dreams. The source code will come when people least expect or need: when developers of the best roms third have already thrown in the towel. :crying:

Patience ????? Xiaomi has Crossed Patience Limit and Its Reaching Alarming Point....They are just breaking GPL Rules...They exist here once if they enter US selling this device it will be banned within no time without kernel sources under GPL...
If Xiaomi will sell their product in the US, Apple will definitely eat them. Lol! Mi Launcher really looks like the iOS launcher and Apple will definitely sue them for that. I know Xiaomi knows it thats why they keep it in Asia, and that's why they're not a good follower of the GPL, coz if they're in the US they'll definitely need to release the code after the device. Tsk!
Sooo no chances guys?

Peter said all the CSRs who said bootloader cannot be unlocked are wrong and indirectly confirmed there will be one so don't fret too much about that, hope there also going to be a big bug fixing update right before the grey release, would be awesome.
Stock Android like on Nexus ^^

According to Peter Shih's linked in profile, he is the head of Community at ZTE, the forum people write in to. Let's hope that this head forum moderator has some pull to influence policy at ZTE back in China, where company policy originates from. Let's hope.

The VP of Engineering was also on the webinar when they were saying more of "when than if". The forum people might not have tons of pull, but he would.
I don't suppose the updates will include UK/EU phones or A2017G?

Nothing to get excited about anyway, from the sound of it.

To the contrary, I sincerely doubt a forum moderator has any "influence". He is just paid to communicate and tally ZTE's marketing/PR spins. At best he can go through the motions.

I have posted letters from ZTE.com.cn (ZTE China) that they do not unlock bootloaders and would not be unlocking the bootloader for the Axon 7, ZTE USA messaged me and stated that ZTE China does not speak for them and that ZTE USA was planning a big anouncement, once again dancing around the issue of unlocking the bootloader. After that response I posed the question, if they unlock the USA's bootloaders, what about the UK, EU,India or China and the rest of the world, since ZTE USA does not speak for them. I was then referred to their manager who wrote me yesterday repeating the same line. Here is his letter to me.
Dear Mr _____,
We thank you again for your purchase of the Axon 7 by ZTE. This is a follow up email to clarify misinformation you received yesterday regarding the unlocking of the Bootloader. Plans are in place to enable this function in the very near future. More information can be found at https://community.zteusa.com/welcome. We greatly apologize for the misinformation and any confusion it caused. We thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Unlocking the bootloader is something that must be addressed by the parent company and have a unified response globally. ZTE USA does not deal with global issues, only local ones pertinent to their region. But they keep stringing us along with this big announcement. Is this to prevent people from returning their devices? Are we being played? Sure sounds like it.
And...unlocked.

You fill out and submit the form in the Axon 7 developer's lounge and they provide you with instructions.

It'll be nice once the first person does it and posts back as to what the process actually is.
Here's hoping this leads to some development on the Axon 7. Maybe we can skip the whole unlocked bootloader thing with an exploit of some kind and go straight to TWRP and root
