(Tablet UI lol)
Overview
MIUI-v6 (It's called this in MiCode so I'm going with V6) ported to MSM8960.
Thing is it's awfully ****ed up looking due to it's tablet interface so this is going to take a little bit of work probably.
Working
-Torch
-Data (4G on boot <3 you guys)
-Mounting
-Recorder
-Music
Not working
- Launcher layout
- Dialer (Xiaomi didn't make it LOL)
- ???
WARNING
HEAVILY EXPERIMENTAL, will require a metric fkton of tweaks to become a daily driver most likely I am only posting this to show love and for observation purposes.
Download:
MIUI-v6: Alpha-0.01

PS: It's in tablet UI and prolly all ****ed up but herewegook

Will it be just for XT926 or unified - for all moto_msm8960 devices?

Thanks for showing your continous MIUI love - I am a true fan of this and if there is anything I can help with, that doesn't require C or Java coding skills, let me know..

Ok I uploaded this, It's pretty incomplete and exists ONLY for people who are curious; this cannot be used as a daily driver; a lot hasn't been translated and the UI is totally mangled because of resolution differences.
This is only for people who are curious about the general direction MIUI is going in, it will not be pleasant or beautiful; minds will not be blown using this firmware a lot of work has to happen still

Hello.
This is fully functional miui5 KitKat for Nexus5 ported from MI 3

Can you port miui with KitKat rom?

I'm also working on V5 for 4.4 as well too but I'm going to make another topic for it; this is V6 officially even though it is rough looking

Nice!
But how did you ported that? Did you have a script or a tutorial for me to follow? Cause I want to try to port roms from the Galaxy S4 to this phone ( like the MIUI V5, I know you did a topic about but I still want to try ).

Any progress to report?

Basically I don't take money for developing because I do it for me, in the spirit of that I've decided to direct all my attention onto the only device I own since doing work for other devices really does not benefit me
I would like to do work on S5 TouchWiz, Sense 6. I want to work on interesting firmware that is challenging and this has almost become an art project at this point since at a code level everything mostly works. I have to admit I wasn't really prepared for that.
So pretty much if you folks have seen any firmware of interest let me know in PM and I will try to bring it to the MSM8960 tree
In regards to this I really can't give an ETA, I'd frankly rather just work on something else

Than you for the hard work anyway. You've been trying to get this stable as new versions approach for awhile now. I don't blame you for taking a breather... I must say I have to light you up with a donation for all the time and effort from previous versions... I got you.. Thanks again

[Q] Custom ROMs and Kernels and CM

Hi everybody!
Has there been any kernel and ROM development for the Z3 Compact, because I hope to buy it?
My second choice would be the S5 Mini but again I have not seen any development.
( Reasons for my choices are weight and size, being a girl I have seem to have been given smaller hands so giant sized phones have been dropped. )
Thanks lots and kind regards,
Soph.
P.S I'll post this on the s5 min forum also

Its kinda hard to develop for a phone which hasn't been released yet.

I can buy them here.

no I cannot! I thought they'd released this. My apologies.

You need to be patient, developers need time, most people in north america who preordered from the UK retailers won't even get it until next week. I wouldn't expect boot loader unlocks or root until late next week at the absolute insanely earliest

Actually you can already unlock the bootloader > http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
I'm going to try it this evening. Afterwards maybe try Framaroot to see if the existing exploits to obtain Root access also work on this device.

I'm also personally waiting for CM; the xperia ROM feels really strange to use. Does anyone know roughly how long CM take to make a ROM for a new phone if they decide to support it?

A lot of it comes down to how many people (developers in particular) want or get the phone. I'm hoping that there will be a decent community behind the Z3C as many people don't want larger phones anymore and this still has decent specs and a great battery life. We'll have to wait and see, but CM isn't a necessity if you just want the options that CM exposes to the uses - there's plenty of ways to customise the device.
Personally, I'd be happy with root and a more vanilla android version without some of the Sony customisations.

SPH-L720T 5.0 Released 4-16-15

As of now, only the L720T tri-band http://support.sprint.com/support/a...ndUpdateTheSoftwareVersionOnYourSamsungGalaxy
As usual, the 720 is the "red headed stepchild"....no lollipop yet...

NOOOO!!!! Why can't they just release both... I've been waiting for this

lol. the 720 will be lucky to get the update a month from now unless Sprint mysteriously forgets it all together... wouldn't surprise me

The RDF for the 720 is also at OD1 so sprint has is near completion. I just don't know why they won't push both at the same time

Did anyone receive the update yet or is anyone able to pull it to possibly share and test?

Well, strangely enough, Sprint has now pulled the update and it has been removed from the update list page. WOW Sprint! Pretty pathetic....

So perhaps something came up on one or more of the test devices not previously seen, it happens.
If that is the case, I personally prefer the that they pull it to fix the issue before it makes it out too thousands of users phones. And suspending rollout makes more business sense than causing customers problems, perhaps even severe problems. :good:

I hope not... They should release both updates at the same time.. It's most likely going to be 5.0.1 and possibly the last update. I find myself checking the sprint support page almost 3 times a day for the past month.

Wait until it's released

Is there any change on the root impossibility without flashing rooted rom? I've been away from the game forever. Sorry

We won't know until it is released. This update hasn't been released yet. Most likely the typical root method work (cf atuo root and towel root) supersu is already up to date for lollipop OS so if you are rooted just wait till someone makes the stock rom a flashable zip or if you are stock just use any method to root. Remember to back up internal storage as unlocking the bootloader wipes everything.

Considering every other Samsung phone on Lollipop, including the S6, has been rooted the same way as KitKat (CF Auto Root or flash SuperSU.zip in recovery), I think we'll be fine. "Unlocking the bootloader wipes everything"? There are so many things wrong with that statement. Odining a stock tar is the only thing that wipes internal storage (and not all of them do). There is no unlocking of the bootloader on Samsung phones. You flash a custom recovery or if using CF Auto Root it flashes the su binary to system/bin... no wiping on either.

Cheers, People

It's so fast, i can't even see it.

I will, as soon as some good soul builds a pure stock AOSP ROM, without any modifications (root, busybox, zipalign, deodex, etc).
Just flash a stock Gapps ontop of it, and it will feel like an official Google update. Oh god yes.

This thread is unnecessary considering there is no official/unofficial ROM available. So no one can share their experience.
BUTTTT... as i go through my android feeds, i miss the experience of flashing the latest build of Android on N5 and play around with it. The sense of excitement of having the latest version on my phone where as the remaining phones around are still running the old version. Now, im still running an old version (Marshmallow)

Pardon my ignorance, but, if someone builds from AOSP without modifying anything, and apply the device drivers from the Nexus images website, what's to be wrong?
Isn't that what Google does, besides loading Gapps package altogether?

Yeah, there's that. Luckily Nexus 6 uses a Snapdragon 805 chip, so the devs should be able to adapt to the 800.

Note 8 Sprint RooT

Hello all! i am looking in to rooting my sprint note 8. I have searched and have gotten a little overwhelmed looking through the forums lol I haven't rooted a phone since my last note phone back in 2014. all I am looking for here is a link to where I need to go. thanks for the help!

Samfail V3 on the main Note 8 Forums. Check there. Read everything.

Yea look at samfail page.
Verify what softwear version you are on and use appropriate version,
There is no root for 8.0 so you will have to downgrade to a older U3 bootloader to root if on 8.0

Ok Im on oreo 8.0, I have never rooted this phone but looking at the steps on samfail its 3 different versions of it and what im getting is you have to flash them in order but someone says just flash samfailv3, can some one please tell me what bootloader i need, the proper steps, just a complete walkthrough because i dont wanna mess my phone up and i wanna make sure im doing this correctly, thanks in advance or at least tell me what all i need instead of directing me to samfail thread, its alot going on in that thread and my brain cant process it all.

This is essentially a RTFM situation. You won't find much help unless you can actually demonstrate something. If you were stuck at a particular step, someone could help you, but you are asking for a walk through for just the first step.
Yes those mods are available to rooted note 8's but do you know how to apply them, or would you be right back here asking for a step-by-step guide for that as well?
Please don't think I (or anyone) is trying to be mean here. You just need to do your own research and figure it out, and if you brick your phone, you brick your phone. That is how many of us learned.
Come back with some actual questions and you will get actual answers. That said, your "how-to" has already been written here
Basically you need to figure out which firmware you have installed, downgrade via ODIN if not compatible, follow the rest of the steps using ODIN, and you'll have root. If you've rooted a Samsung device before this should not be difficult for you.

STAYING STOCK and safe.

Over the years, the only two reasons I would root my Android phone:
Get rid of ads
Hotspot
With the Note-8, you can modify the settings and get hotspot to work w/out rooting...........there's a thread out there for instructions.
I found an app that controls/eliminates the ads via VPN, runs in the background with very little battery drainage if any at all.

You can also download DnsChanger(Open Source) from the PlayStore and use these DNS Servers from AdGuard to block advertisements, tracking, and phishing globally on your phone.

176.103.130.131
Or use IPv6 addresses

Is rooting the note 8 still limiting to 80% charge?

Yes. That will always be a thing unless the bootloader gets unlocked.

that 80% thing definitely makes it a no go for me

If I downgrade i can prevent bootloop for one, secondly there are many qualities to root, dual speakers, custom roms when they roll out, etc. Reasons y I wanna root it.

There's no advantage to root unless you have a custom recovery. Also you don't need root to run custom ROMs, a custom recovery will do all you need, plus most ROMs come rooted.
Point is, I'd rather have a custom recovery over root. The custom recovery will fix a bootloop, flash ROMs, themes, apps and maybe one or two things I'm forgetting.
Lastly, I'm not seeing any custom recoveries for carrier locked Note 8s. Heck, unless I'm missing something, I'm seeing anything for unlocked ones.
