when we will get nougat roms? - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

Sorry for my excitement.But i am quiet depressed that more than 2 to 3 months have been passed but their is no nougat ROM for our device.
If someone has idea whether the making is under processing or yet to be start.please let me know.
Thanx.

i guess kernal source is released by xiaomi, very soon we should be able to see some developments on nougat roms for our devices.

At least a month, I think.

Only when you see msm8937 nougat caf kernel source here -> Android releases (QAEP.release) - XWiki

OxygenOS is now open source

OnePlus released the source code of OOS on github. Some nice news.
https://github.com/OnePlusOSS
Hmm, interesting news, thank for info :good:
This is badass!
Great news indeed.
Let's wait for an OPX device tree and vendor blobs
The github page has a 6.0.1 branch only.
Does this mean that this is a build for the oneplus 2 only?
Or does this also mean that devs can now build a 6.0.1 based oxygen os 3 rom for oneplus x as well using this before oneplus themselves do it??
Had a closer look... It just looks like it'll build AOSP... Not O2...
Ivtake the previous post back. This is awesome! We just need to get a device tree working and we can produce an unofficial port!
Now the path clears to custom oxygenOs:highfive:
Also it may mean timely access to sources, if we ever get mm
Unfortunately , I was right earlier... It is not open source O2
@crian RJDTWO is right. Confirmed by Helen yesterday. Can you change the title, please.

What's the difference between history and release

RELEASE: Tested after integrating new features, more stable than NIGHTLY. (Odexed builds)
NIGHTLY: Built daily with newest code and experimental features, might contain undiscovered bugs. (Deodexded builds)
HISTORY: Final odexded builds once a newer Android version is out and being built.
EXPERIMENTAL: Released when a new device is added or when a new feature is added for public beta testing and feedback. (Deodexded builds)
UNOFFICIAL: Maintained separately by individual developers, usually involves modification of shared code which cannot be merged (affects other devices), therefore maintained by the developer himself.
Nice thanks
History means stablest

No official Android 8.0 (Oreo) for the Z5 family

Source: https://blogs.sonymobile.com/2017/08/31/xperia-android-8-0-oreo/
Got nearly 2 years of updates, but not quite.
On a related note, official XZ1 Compact website is up. I'm thinking about getting one for my wife to replace her Z5C, UFS sounds delicious.
The list of devices in the blog is not final and it is possible that we will see Oreo on our device.
Even though stock will not support Oreo, Custom firmwares will usually always outlast stock
(Lineage and Carbon are using stock blobs on the Z5 Lineup so custom roms are nearly the same quality, if not better, then stock anyway)

I was wondering about this myself. Are the stock blobs sdk version specific, so in order to make a custom Oreo rom a stock Oreo ftf is needed first? Or should the nougat blobs potentially be used in an Oreo firmware? Same with hardware drivers that are unique to our device, like WiFi?

From memory, as long as the source is configured right it should be fine (Wifi drivers shouldn't be changing as its still the same hardware, same for screen and all) - Carbonrom and Lineage source are currently being updated to Oreo, along with some of the sony files being configured for it so hopes are high.

That's awesome news, I'll add "official" to the thread title for clarification.
They said it was because Qualcomm aren't great at after market support.
so we couldn't get 3.18, but, what would be interesting to do would be to make some interface to act like a middle man.
I'm currently doing something similar for my laptop running Server 2016, and am slowly making it run like a Desktop OS, by enabling all the other stuff left out that I can find

Where was this said, and why would we need 3.18 for the Z5 family?
A lot of the reporting being done on this has been bad (whatever happened to reading comprehension, especially in reporters??). According to the source being cited, only SoCs produced prior to 2017 (which the Snapdragon 810 is) AND that are being launched in new devices (which the Z5 series is NOT) are required to run on 3.18. Existing devices already designed and sold before the launch of Oreo (which, having launched in 2015, I think the Z5 family would qualify as) "can continue to use their original base kernel version if desired."

on github somewhere,
actually, ask and tag greyleshy, he was the one that asked about final kernel for us, and I found the convo somewhere trying to get Bluetooth junk sorted
there might be some msm8994 thing that sony needs but cant use for oreo or something. I dont know

Hmm, 'k; thanks. I'll do some more digging. But if true this would flatly contradict Google's own public statements (though I realize it's not like this would be a first for that kind of thing).

Android Oreo supports Kernel 3.10, but need to patch the kernel (example: patch 1, patch 2).
It would be nice if msm8994 supported kernel 3.18 or 4.4, but it is not.
Apparently QCOM has not provided drivers for 3.18+ and therefore CodeAurora kernel was not released because of compatibility issues.

3.10, CAF kernel

correct,
actually 4.4 kernel, it's only needed for newer SoCs
so we can go on with 3.10 kernel for now but we need to wait for (potential) CAF changes

well, there's still Linux mainline / vanilla upstream support for msm8994 since 4.10 kernel in a very rough state with terminal only (AOSP)
and there's the (close to complete) bringup of msm8994 on 3.18 kernel sauce: https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/pull/972 (for AOSP)
yeah I basically read it as qualcomm have bad after market support

I might have something interesting to build then and I can stop lounging around
any news for official aosp 8.0 release for z5?

Stock kernel Prerooted (8.1.0)

Hello community! I hope you are well, today I bring you the Kernel Stock of Motorola, prerooted and with some minimal improvements and optimizations (I will gradually optimize it even more).
The only requirements are to have the bootloader unlocked and debug usb enabled (I have not yet tested on any device with the bootloader closed, if anyone wants to try you can send me a PM).
I hope you like it, greetings and good luck!

kernel stock oreo ?
Does It work fine on Pie ROMs? (Some Oreo kernels work on Pie ROMs too)
Installed this and lost WIFI completely. Nothing I did would bring it back. So I restored the regular stock kernel and rooted it the old reliable way with Magisk 19.3.

what's caf version?

Hello everyone,I am using PiexlExperience rom now. And I also see there is a caf version rom supply.
So I want to know what is caf version? Does it better than normal version? And what should I do if I want to flash the CAF rom? Do I need to clear all my user data?
Thanks, I am really looking forward to hear something from you guys.
CAF stand for Code Aurora Forum, which is the forum that Qualcomm released their source code. Since it contains source code directly from Qualcomm, rom built with it usually more stable and more optimized.
About the rom flash, sadly I don't know anything, as I don't want to use Pie at all.

Why you don't want to use pie, bro?

It's uglier than Oreo and a few small but annoying things like the expand volume button is gone, Gcam autofocus (don't know if it also happen on custom rom). Besides the new features in Pie like Adaptive Brightness is useless to me, as I never turn on Auto Brightness, and few people said that Pie has notification problem.
