so....
now redmi 2 prime only will get miui 7 on lollipop build...
confirmed news...
miui forum is recruiting beta testers...
Seriously?
Edit
Ahh sorry, I though I have saw Marshmallow :v
So it is 5.0,which is pretty buggy close to 5.1.
Anyway it is a step forward
But what about locked bootloaders ? That will be the problem.
I get bored of every ROM I try after one week.
Redmi 2 Prime only :/

They may check with Prime first because it has 2gb ram then release it
later for redmi 2 as Redmi 2 prime and redmi 2 are one and same except
ram and storage

Already confirmed still using 32bit os ? and possibly locked bootloader because can't enter recovery and can't flash recovery via fastboot

yes the lollipop redmi 2 prime got is 32 bit and with a locked boot loader and its 5.1.1.
How to unlock bootloader as no flashing is happening.

n bootloader is not locked...
recovery partition is now changed...thats why we can not install old twrp...we need to make new twrp or custom recovery with new partition....
and if you again thinking that the bootloader is locked then go to 'developer option' and turn on OEM unloack...and you have unlocked your device...

Excellent. Looking forward to it
On en.miui.com it is said that bootloader can be unlocked at request like in latest miui versions of other models. For me this choice makes perfect sense: if you are good enough you can unlock it, otherwise they don't encourage it

"If you are good enough..." - What does that mean ? As is in if you are a tech head or ?
EDIT:
Until someone actually uses it and proves it does it job, ideally Xiaomi themselves. Don't trust it.

It will be locked - http://en.miui.com/thread-231030-1-1.html
and receiving unlock code from xiaomi will take months if you are just a normal member of miui forum. Even after that, it is possible you are stuck by some weird errors .. just take a look at redmi note / 4c forum.
Thought to but MI 5 on first day.. but not anymore.. have to search for other alternative.

Wich errors? Can you briefly describe them?
Will it be possible to flash the rooted global version on locked bl? That's all I ask at least for months
"Will it be possible to flash the rooted global version on locked bl? That's all I ask at least for months" I'd really like to know that as well
You need an unlocked bootloader to flash roms
As long as xiaomi dosent make unlocking bootloader complicated ...I am ok with it ...but if we have to get codes ,permission etc for xiaomi it will be a hassle ...
either way this beast has to be unchained ...sooner than later I hope

Because if the bootloader was unlocked by default, people could hack into your phone or access it's data by bypassing the code on the lock screen

not like a locked bootlocker is synonymous with encryption, nor that it makes a phone unhackable. so if that is really their argument, i call bull****!
I dont get this locking at all, be it xiaomi, samsung or whoever. If I buy a smartphone, I want to own it, having full control over both hard- and software. Anything less is unacceptable to me.
If I buy a computer or laptop, I can always install another OS on there and am not forced to use the software that came with it. Why can't smartphones be the same?

Well see that is the thing. There are not opensource bootloaders for Android that could completely replace the bootloader on the device. If you did remove all the OEM software on a device you would have to load even the base bootloader by a jtag device before you would even flash an OS to the device. The bootloader is under the TOS you agreed to when you bought the phone. The hardware you own. The software you buy a license to use. You dont own it.
As for why they do it. One guy got an email reply when he asked and it is simple. They didnt like people removing their services (which is how they make money) So they locked the bootloader so you could only flash MIUI roms with their inbuilt services. Anything else they say is just more BS to come from them.
Also for your PC comment. That has recently changed. The windows 10 32 bit computers come with a locked bootload as well, you have to go through a TON of bs to get it unlocked.

Why? They've been out over a year right? If anything that pattern is indicative of a pretty long wait for mi5 sources.

Mi3 was launched in late 2013. I bought it on like September 2014. No custom ROMs were available. Some months later Ivan (he is not official Dev). But his work is closest to official ones. So hopefully he may release AOSP ROM from official sources (he doesn't share them).
About Mi3 kernel sources, they were delaying it. And it was said that once Mi4 will launch they will release. After launch more delays. And finally after months passed of Mi4 launch they released the kernel source. (it may not have all the modules)
But for Mi Note, it's relatively quick.
Similarly it may take few months.

I'm guessing Ivan will make AOSP rom (based on Marshmallow) for Mi 5 like he has done previously. Should be good
Everybody here is saying that wating for a custom rom for p8lite2017 is a waste of time because huawei doesn't release the sources, then why does honor 8 have so many custom roms for it ? It has EMUI 5 just like us, it's made by the same company in the same year, how did the devs manage to make roms for it ??
Honor 8 source code is released, for P8 Lite 2017 isn't.

Some developers (also I) take the data of the devices which they own. They do not need the official resources. Therefore, there is not custom rom also from devices his resources were published. I build my custom rom when android 8 is released.

I'd be glad if we can get even just a custom kernel..But if we do get a custom rom, then all the more better!
AOSP based rom <3 <3 <3
what about K rom in honor 6x dose it compatible with our device ?

I already work some time on a EMUI 5 custom rom. Alike for Honor 6x. Only of the Kernel is not enough. We also need 100% Recovery. There is not that.

True. Our Recovery isn't that all stable and consistent. I am not really expecting too much from this phone since its a budget device, and I got most of the things I want and need to work: root, busybox, Viper4Android. The TWRP is a bonus, even if its in a semi-usable state.
It's great if we can have Custom ROMs, but even just a custom kernel will suffice for now.
OFFTOPIC: On another note, I am hoping that Xposed will somehow work for Android 7 onwards. Even without a Custom ROM, that will open a lot of doors for customization.

You can have the Kernel with pleasure. Comes from the B110. Use on own risk.

A6k is Snapdragon bro. They have good sources.
Our device is mtk. We're working without proper device trees.
Oreo currently only boots but we can't fix it.
That's why we're waiting for daniel_hk to make progress on K3 note with Oreo. Once his sources become stable, we could work on Oreo ourselves. Note that if k3 isn't stable, then a7k also isn't stable.

No , You Don't Want , You Can Install TWRP For This Phone Lenovo A7000-a By PC Using SPFT Or Smartphone Flash Tool & Root It Simply With SuperSU Or Magisk , Cheers .
Now Lineage 15 Oreo Released For This Phone , I Tested It But Here's The Bugs I Founded It :
1-Bluetooth Not Working .
2-Deepsleep "It's Very Annoying" . FIXED
3-Video When He Finish Record The Video Was Green , The Audio Working Only .
4- Apps Not Installing .
Working :
-Everything Works Perfectly Expect The Above Bugs , This LAOS By @AKS12 Her's The Link Of Thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a7000/development/rom-lineage-os-15-0-a7000-t3721018
So.. this should support lineage fairly easily since it's part of project treble right? Because my next phone definitely needs to run lineage and microg.
What's the history of taking camera apps of xiaomi and running them in lineage?
U can unlock bootloader, u will get Snapdragon, kernel source will be released by Xiaomi and price + hardware is more than good. I'm sure u will get LineageOS.

As far as I've checked Xiaomi has only released Mi 8 SE's kernel source right? Nothing for Mi 8 yet. Theoretically building LOS for Mi 8 right now is very very hard without kernel source right?
