As far as I know there is no source for MIUI that isn't based off of Kitkat or lower. Since the Nexus 6 never received KitKat (officially), this could be a large obstacle for devs to overcome.

also the only MIUI roms that are based on lollipop are all 64 bit while we are a 32 bit device

Not to mention no real developer will touch MIUI.

oh lookie here.. its yet ANOTHER person asking for miui on the n6, since the first one in the end of 2013. and yet, still no miui.

[Q] Aosp roms?

I'm wondering if there's any aosp roms in development for the note been eagerly waiting for like a cm 12 rom or something but nothing yet. I'm seeing the galaxy s4,5 and note 3 getting their cm 12 roms so maybe the note 4 one soon comes?
Practically every device has it except us.
Developers are waiting until we get the Official 5.0 update to do any CM, AOSP, etc.
Aosp is booting on our device already. Its being fine tuned. Soon
Cant wait !!

As far as I know there aren't any threads. Slayher posted images of Lollipop running on the Note 4 a few weeks ago on Google+.
Yes can anyone let us know if this is happening?
I have a oneplus one right now... A little afraid to leave it behind and go to the note 4. I love having CM12 or AOSP on my phone... Don't know if I can go to touchwiz. lol!
I would love to say is jump on it but as always I'm sure the camera will be total crap as always. Absolutely kills the photo quality
He posted a video a couple days ago. Hold for links
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57184749
And of course camera will just be basic, it's just the point of having the option to flash it is what I dig about samsung. I'm the minority Samsung fanboy, but doesn't mean I don't like some cm or aosp based Roms just to mix it up.
Ok - I'm not a big camera guy anyway... But it's a toss up between this or a nexus 6... But I love having a removable battery... The 1+1 just isn't cutting it for me right now...

What is influencing the names of ROMs these days?

I'm looking into getting the nexus 6 and was just trolling through the nex6 forums taking a look at developement..... And geeezzzz what happened to the names of ROMs like we had in the good ole days. I.e. OPEN KANG, CM-__, PACMAN, AOSP, NEXUQUE, PARANOID ANDROID, MIUI. You know the names we all were used to seeing. Now it seems like the names are all spoken in code or something. Check out the screen shot. Hard to tell what you're getting unless you go exploring each ROM post and check out the mods and screenshots.
You're right.
We GFlex users that haven't flashed any roms in a while when you get another phone you get scared from all these new roms with weird names. You gotta check every post to see if its based on stock/aosp/cm/pac or if its just a debloated rom. Info is just not as it used to be.

Yep the days of bootstrap recoveries and safestrap are gone. I fear that fastboot will soon fall by the way side too, with all these devices comimg with download mode and flashing with lg tools and Odin. Im going back to Motorola to get a taste of the good ole fastboot flash system ".......". My nexus 7 (2013) is so simple with multi-rom that I rarely need to open up the cmd prompt and " adb " anything.
Wait!!!
Are we giving up on this incredible phone?
I can't speak for anyone else but I've been eligible for an upgrade for over a year now, and have been sticking around 1. Cuz I do like the phone / durability. And 2. To help out and hopefully see a CM or AOSP ROM working on this device. But I gotta see what all the hype is about with these new snapdragon 64 bit processors and 4 gigs or ram is all about. I'm really trying to be patient and wait on the new nexus 6.2 as I heard it called. Not sure if that's the official name. Its all still rumors I believe. But its supposedly the next version of nexus 6 but 64 bit. To keep up with Samsung and lg's release of 64 bit devices.

I heard there will be a revamp of the Nexus 5 device...
Supossedly LG and Huawei were in dispute to seek for who wins the making of the ¨second gen Nexus 5¨
This would be awesome, though I love my GFlex cuz of battery life and durability too, my G3 just died on me last week :crying: :crying: havent revived it so, Im back with the Flex, hope to see a CM or AOSP build sooner than later.
Good luck with the Motorolas, I´ve had nothing more than great experience with motorola smartphones, owned Atrix 1, 2 and HD, Droid XT912 and Droid HD, awesome phones all of them!
OK maybe its the nexus 5 revamp and not nexus 6. I could have been wrong. Either way , pure aosp on a nexus device sure would be nice. I rarely get to play around with my nexus 7 (2013) since its been integrated into my dash and used as my head unit now. It comes out once a month or so just to flash an update or new ROM to keep things running smooth.

MIUI For Nexus 6?

Hi, does anyone know if it was issued a Rom or porting miui for Nexus 6? Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
I don't know why would anybody want Miui running in a Nexus XD.
I would actually give miui a shot. It worked magically on my HD2, I can only imagine how it is now

maybe, in your eyes. but we are all different people that have different expectations. anyways, people have been asking for miui since the end of last year, and some have even tried to port it. but, its not going to happen. why? because miui is on kitkat and the n6 has never ran kitkat or have the drivers for it.

I understand that, and know it to be true, however, it doesn't change the fact that MIUI IS, in general, one awesome OS, whether it's a fit for the N6 or not.

again, thats up to you and only for you. i dont feel the same. anyways, i wish it did get ported, but just for you users, as it seems enough want to run it on their nexus. whether its good or bad, ill just stay out of that argument. but personally, i do not like it for whatever reasons that it just doesnt fit me.

Google-ish N build

So, it's quite possible that our much beloved Nexus 5 doesn't receive final Android N, afterall.
In that case, I was wondering it anyone would be interested in providing a custom N build, with no changes, compared to Google's own build.
I mean, ODEX, non-zipaligned, no root, nothing. Just stock like stock Google software.
I'd pay for this.
Is it possible for someone to create a ZIP that can be sideloaded in the default recovery?

Me either. Still can't believe Google is not showing any love to Nexus 5 anymore.

When the final release is out, it's pretty safe to say that someone will make a build for the Nexus 5. Until then, there is nothing devs can do right now. Google currently doesn't have everything available to do so.
Yes, I know.
I'm talking about the future, after N is uploaded to AOSP.
I know there will be lots of ROMs, but I just wanted stock Google software, no root, theme, anything.
Basically, an unofficial Google OTA.
I'm willing to pay for this, and I can gather many people to join this cause.
probably Google will release android N to Nexus 5, but its the last official release to it. Just like Nexus 4 on Lollipop era, was pretty the same thing.
How is that surprising they want you to buy the next device so if they drop support look at it this way you can always install a ROM and I'm confident you will see something up fast

Nop, Google won't release the Android N for Nexus 5, as they dropped the support for newer releases in October 2015. But of course that as soon as the source code is out we'll get the update because the devs will take care of that

Since you aren't clairvoyant I'll wait to see. The N7 2013 got MM but if you go by the date listed on googles site they stoped officially supporting it in July of 2015. And if not, eh.. There will be tons of N roms once its released. Most likely day one.

True though xD
Looks like afterwards I have reason
We all know there will be lots of ROMs.
But the purpose of this thread, is to get to know if any developer would like to provide a stock "Google" equivalent, for those that want their N5 to feel like it's been updated by Google itself.
I'll sure try, especially if there is money on the line lol
I won't make any promises, but I'll gladly take a look when the source gets out if I still have the device.
I've been reading stuff on Reddit, and many people would appreciate this "Google experience" ROM.

It's officially over for us. It's up to the devs now.

No it is not officially over, nothing on that page confirms it is officially over. Only the ''Guaranteed" support is over for the Nexus 5.
That doesn't mean it won't get Android N, I think the chance for a official release of Android N for the N5 is really small but there's still a chance it will get it.
Till the final release of Android N is out no one knows anything for sure if it comes to the future of the N5.

I know he used to do it for the N5, pretty sure I've seen his builds for a few other phones as well. That was his thing. When a new Android OS comes out he usually releases a stock / AOSP build. Non rooted, no mods, etc. I'm not sure if he's still around though, but it can't hurt to ask.

Looking at the history of ROMs in the past here on XDA, there is usually always someone who ports a pure AOSP build with no mods. I wouldn't worry about it much. Especially this early.
I hope so.
Not really into modding/rooting/whatnot.
A stock Google-ish ROM for me, and I'll be happy.
Dont worry man.. Nexus 5 is still pretty popular phone and dev friendly so IMHO you shouldn't be worried at all.. There is i believe 99% chance u will have Android n, just be patient for a couple of months when the Android n will be officially released

Cm14 for oneplus 3

Cm14 branch for oneplus 3 is up on github
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_oneplus_oneplus3/tree/cm-14.0
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8996/tree/cm-14.0
Here we go!
That was fast!
Sweeet. Hell even the 6P already has an asop based ROM now. Thing's are gonna get good with this version of Android.
Well that's good news alright it'll just take a while theres not even gapps yet.
I'd totally take an AOSP rom thought to tide over the wait.

Really? is surprising, 5 months ago we got a Developer Preview, they can start developing since that day, not now, it does not seem so strange people asking for that.

you got this wrong!! the source was released now. since that they can start the developing. the developer Preview was just to test nougat and for the developers to adjust their apps to the new android version.

Not to mention the fact that the Dev Previews were only for Nexus devices, and never had source released until yesterday. Be patient or buy a Nexus.

Oh, this seems promising! Will wait for future updates!
This may sound like a very dumb question but isn't CM14 the same as Android 7/Nougat, because CM13 was Android 6?

you were right in your assumption....
LOL j/k welcome to android my friend and if you look back at the history off cm you will see the numbering system matches android numbering system in its own way. So yes CM14 is 7.0
I hope vulkan api will be included.
Well the branch is already up for 14 days. There are also no changes yet so we have to be patient, it still might take a few weeks until we see a nightly. I hope Android will one day be unified for all devices, so that we have a unified interface for all the hardware... This would make developing so much easier. Imagine we you just install a ROM like a OS to your computer and like 95% of the hardware is already ready to go.
