How does the Nextbit Robin with the same chipset get official 7.1.1 while this phone, which was touted as a "developer" phone in the past, doesn't. o.o Never buy Lenovorola... plus their new phones are overpriced for sub-par specs. You can get better phones for under $200 like the Redmi Note 4, which at least gets regular security updates.
[X Style (Pure) General] anth0nymDROID:
But why are 5x and 6p getting Android O?
[X Style (Pure) General] dzidexx:
Because they are Google Nexus...
[X Style (Pure) General] anth0nymDROID:
Ok
[X Style (Pure) General] Bill720:
One important detail...

No domestic CDMA capabilities though. This, combined with a lack of support for many mainstream LTE bands on some of those foreign models is the reason why they are out of the question here for most folks.
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
Exactly what [MENTION=5170671]Bill720[/MENTION] is saying... a lot of those "cheap" overseas phones that work great in Asia or Europe, do not work worth a dang in the US due to their lack of support for CDMA (Sprint/Verizon) and most US LTE bands which are different than used in the rest of the world....

For a phone to be any good in the US, it would need to support GSM 850/1900 (remembering that 2G is a dying thing here, AT&T has already turned off their Edge networks, so 3G/HSPA/HSPA+ only) and LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, 17, 30 (AT&T); 2, 4, 13 (Verizon); 2, 4, 12 (Tmobile); 25, 26, 41 (Sprint), plus a few more being deployed recently, and don't forget CDMA is an absolute must for two of our 4 major carriers... And in Canada they have a few more with 2, 4, 7, 12, 17, 29, 38, 40, 42, and 66 all in active use, oh yeah, and they have CDMA networks as well, especially in rural areas.

You will be hard pressed to find many Redmi, Oppo, Lenovo (non Moto models), Gionee, Vivo, Meizu, or "unbranded" Chinese devices that contain even a fraction of the necessary bands to operate in the US on LTE, much less GSM 3G since those bands are different as well, although most contain the proper GSM 2G bands that isn't much consolation since many carriers are turning those systems down to reuse the bandwidth for 4G/5G network deployments. And NONE of these phones contain any CDMA radios of any kind, much less on US frequencies.

So to sum it all up... We wish we could get a Redmi Note 4, Gionee A1, or an Oppo R9 here, and we can order them but they just don't work in North America. There are only a handful of unlocked, retail devices that work on our CDMA carriers (Moto, Nexus/Pixel, and a few Samsungs) but several more that work on our GSM carriers only. We still don't have the same options as overseas.

And to educate those of you about how things work in the US and Canada with cellular providers, ~85% of customers buy phones from their carrier directly on a purchase plan (which is often at a discount price or BOGO deal) which locks them into a 2 year contract with that carrier, and those phone are locked to that carrier only (often they don't even have the band/frequency support for other carriers at all). The remaining 15% buy their devices outright at retail, and a good majority of those are marketed by pre-paid carriers (which are also locked to that carrier).

The US cellular market is a f*cking mess compared to the rest of the world... Although Canada does have a new law going to effect that carrier's can't lock phones anymore, and they must provide free unlocking to all existing phones... WTG Canada!
[X Style (Pure) General] m+a+r+k:
Because Lenovo isn't Google and is pretty much at the bottom of the list of concern for Qualcomm. Because maybe the Qualcomm drivers for v7 don't need to be changed for v8 too much?
[X Style (Pure) General] sk8223:
This is true. This is something I tend to overlook because I personally never use data (so so expensive in Canada unless you live in Sask or Quebec). I have a prepaid plan with unlimited texting that gets me through life. I'm super cheap and I refuse to let Robelus take advantage of me and charge me $100 plus tax for a measly 1-2 gigs of data. :p I know LeEco phones have AWS because my mom uses one just fine here in Canada with Koodo (plus the sold them officially in the States before the brand crumbled). Also there's now a global version of the RN4 with B4/B20 for North America. Not sure if it's more expensive or not.

You know, it's funny. Meizu and Redmi are slowly moving to the West through Europe. I wouldn't be surprised if Xiaomi became the next OnePlus. Also, isn't CDMA dying in the US or am I wrong? Is it not going to be obsolete by 2019 or something?
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
Yes... Although rumor has it that will likely be extended until 2025 or so due to the time involved in replacing so many low usage rural cells, or at least given an extension for rural areas.

I head heard of the global RN4, its a bit more but still doesn't have many US LTE bands, some important ones like 17, 2 and 5 are missing for AT&T which is my main concern.
[X Style (Pure) General] Bill720:
bands, bands, bands

Exactly. I guess the silver lining is that most of those devices do at least support the main HSDPA bands, (if I understand correctly) so even if you don't have LTE, there is still hope for fast data. It just depends on how badly you want to import that phone and if it's worth giving up LTE for. It's for this reason why folks on AT&T have a few more choices than those on Sprint and Verizon, but not that many more.

CDMA is definitely slowing down, but it is still essential for right now, given that many phones and services don't support Voice-over-LTE. We can't even begin to think about ditching CDMA until that is remedied. Furthermore, in fringe areas where the signal is too weak for LTE to work reliably, CDMA is still the only way to get any kind of voice or data service at all. If they can improve the technology to eclipse the reliability of CDMA, then we might be able to have this discussion ten years from now, but for the moment, CDMA is here to stay.

That said, as Voice-over-LTE becomes more prevalent, more and more customers in strong LTE markets will be able to take advantage of LTE-only service. It'll take time to fully migrate to a completely different technology though.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
So this is my second Mi Mix. I know my way around it a bit. Anyway I was trying to flash TWRP and it won't work. It appears the bootloader is locked. Apparently the original retailer who sold the phone flashed the global MIUI rom and then relocked the bootloader and reflashed the original recovery.

I have already requested to unlock through Xiaomi but I'm not sure if it will work being on this rom... once I get the text back from them that is.

I'm unable to flash the Chinese stock rom in MiFlash because the bootloader is locked. I've tried just about everything but it appears I'm stuck waiting on Xiaomi to send me the unlock text but my concern is that I won't be able to do it because I'm not on the stock rom.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] satishp:
You dont need to request for another unlock code. The unlock code is associated with your Mi Account, meaning you can unlock any Xiaomi device once you sign in with your Mi Account on the device. Once signed in, you just need to use the Unlocking app.

Considering this is your 2nd Mix, I'm assuming you had received an unlock code for the first one. If so, you're good to go. You just need to do as I mentioned above.

If you dont have an unlock code yet, once you've received it, the procedure is fairly simple. Just follow one of the guides here and you'll get to wherever you want,be it Official, EU or a custom ROM.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
The first one I bought already had the bootloader u locked so I don't have a code. Once I receive a reply from Xiaomi with a code will I be able to unlock even though it's on the global ROM and not stock?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] satishp:
Yes. once you have the code, you can unlock regardless of whatever ROM is installed on the device. FYI, my phone came with a Vendor ROM but locked bootloader just like yours. I don'"t think the Vendor relocked it. I'm assuming that Vendors receive signed Custom ROMs from Xiaomi which is then flashed by Vendors using stock recovery. If they have a signed ROM file, the bootloader doesnt have to be unlocked. It just installs like an update.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
Didn't know you had to unlock bootloader for Chinese ROM with miflash, you sure it's not the way you unpacked the file.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
Yeah I'm pretty sure it requires bootloader unlock. The first Mix I had was the 128gb version and I sold it last week. Before I sold it the guy wanted me to flash the chinese rom back and I did it using mi flash and it worked just fine. Used the exact same file this time and it won't work, it fails right off the bat. Also in the guide that's posted here for flashing the Chinese rom it says you need the bootloader unlocked.

I guess it's one of those things that people assume the bootloader is already unlocked if you're flashing the Chinese rom since you'd have to have unlocked it already to get off of that rom in the first place.

I'll just sit back and wait for my unlock code I guess. Hopefully they don't take the full 10 days to get back to me.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
http://xiaomiadvices.com/flash-fastboot-recovery-rom-on-xiaomi-mi-mix/

Unless you got vendor ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Step666:
Vendor ROMS aren't signed or sanctioned by Xiaomi.

Given Xiaomi doesn't even produce a general Global ROM for some models of it's handsets (such as the Mix) because they only sell them in China, it would make little sense for them to then sign Vendor ROMs for such handsets given they're all but exclusively used by international sellers.

I nearly jumped and punched the air when I saw 'S7 Edge' listed on the Mokee downloads page. Mokee was the only AOSP ROM that continued development for my Redmi 1S, so have remained faithful to them. They were up with their experimental build and then a nightly within a day of Samsung releasing the kernel sources for Nougat. Have been checking back daily to see if they finally upload a 'release' build. Thanks a ton! Can't wait to get clean, stock Android on my S7 Edge; hate the childish, bloated style designs of TouchWiz. Great work!

FYKI the ROM download page is now publishing 7.1.2 nightlies.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] neohulk:
Most stable build so far...

The original thread still says 7.1; meanwhile, the builds have long since moved to 7.1.2.

Despite still being 'nightlies', they're stable enough to be daily drivers AND you get the vanilla Android experience.

I've not been flashing the latest nightly on a daily basis; I've been following a practice of

keep an older build until there's a serious issue.

when there's a serious issue (it's mostly been either the phone overheating, or rapid battery drain), download the build that's gotten the most downloads, and

do a dirty flash. You're good as new.

There's been no word in a while from the dev(s) that is/are maintaining this ROM, on when we can expect the build to move to 'stable', even if that's going to happen at all.

For now, I've been on the October 24th nightly [MK71.2-HERO2LTE-201710240911-NIGHTLY], and that seems to be the most stable build that I've run so far. No bugs I can think of, just the occasional app FC.

Battery saver mode works well, with root and Greenify I've been able to squeeze out 1.5 days with 25% battery left.

[Xposed General] hahalulu:
Hi everyone,

I wanna build old version of Xposed, for Android SDK 16-19, then have tried to compile Xposed fw for hundreds time but still failed.

Environment: Ubuntu 15.10 x64 | tools: JDK 1.6, libc6 ....

AOSP: JZO54L / android-4.1.2_r2 /Jelly Bean ("make app_process" have been run successfully).

My steps:

- Download AOSP into /opt/android/aosp

- XposedBridge.jar: Download Xposed Installer here repo[dot]xposed[dot]info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer and detach jar from apk. Put it to /opt/out/java

- Download XposedTools source from github into /opt/xposed/ then make build.conf file:

- To integrate Xposed to AOSP, I tried following 2 ways in the instruction (local manifest and manual cloning)

+ local manifest: link [XposedTools]/local_manifests/xposed_sdk16.xml to [aosp]/.repo/local_manifests/ then run repo sync.

+ manual cloning: remove [aosp]/build; clone github[dot]com/rovo89/platform_build/ to replace; clone github[dot]com/rovo89/Xposed into [aosp]/framework/base/cmds/xposed

- Go back to [XposedTools] and run ./build -t x86:16

The result I received is a big "app_process_xposed" file (~ 270-350 KBs), it size is as many times as the origin app_process file (~20 KBs). I think there are somethings wrong. I open them by 7z and see some differences:

I may did some mistakes in these steps. Could you please give me any advice? :(

Thank so much!

Did you actually try the app_process_xposed you got, or did you just assume it was wrong because it was bigger? If you did try it, what did it do?
