Haha, maybe so, but as this has nothing to do with the company itself, I see light at the end of the tunnel. So far the custom ROMs have beat their original counterparts 6-0.

Too bad this won't help us x5 owners at all :-(

Its a 2.2 rom made completely from source from China, and it brings Android UI to a whole new level.

Exactly !
Please vote ! Like that we could have BOTH : cyanogen and Miui (official support !)
tallnerd said he would personally port MIUI over after 2.2 realeases, and that it shouldn't be very hard. So either way, we should still get it.
I can haz MIUI?

Fascinate Voo Doo One Point Two

Screen drivers and miui compatibility.

Hello people!
Let me introduce myself.
I'm Moon i come from the LG gt540 threads and own different phones but they are all so good known that i don't need help with them often
i got the zte blade and thanks to @dRaCID01
did i get cm7 to run
now i want to ask the phone DOES NOT have multitouch but somekind of dualtouch going on could we edit/add other drivers to add 4+finger support?
does the hardware even support it?
-
Question two
i own an T-mobile G2 (not the hero) its like an ripped version of the desire z
and it runs miui fine it has an 3.7 inch screen and and hardware kb, and ONLY an clockspeed of 800mhz (overclockable) so couldn't the ZTE blade run miui if the desire z/G2 can?
everything seems perfect
Btw only answer if you know about miui and the hardware of the blade i don't want people who don't know anything to say that it doesn't work
you may give your thoughts but let the experts give the result.
MIUI is closed source so porting hasn't been possible. The hardware seems capable though.
I don't think the screen supports more than 2 touches though.

Yeah XDA isn't the place for the Blade.
I know, CM7 runs great on it.

Quick update from HCDRJacob (You remember me, right?)

Where I currently stand on the Huawei U8800:
So, I first got the U8800 a good number of months ago. I loved the device and started working on it straight away, made some good progress. Then I got lower AS Level results than I was hoping for. And my parents decided to split up. So basically, I needed to work harder at school, and my life was kind of a bit more hectic. I have still been working on the U8800, and I almost got CM7 finished. The only issue was that I had no camera preview (I was building libcamera from source rather than using prebuilt libs). A lot of hard work was put into it, and I can't take all the credit. Tom Giordano (Tom_G), bukington, dzo and stockwell were all helpful through the process (although contrary to popular belief I didn't just copy dzo and stockwell, I implemented things in different ways which I thought were cleaner). I respect all of the other developers despite any misunderstandings in the past. This brings me to where I stand today.
For the last few months, I've still been working on CM7 when I've had time to try and get it ready for 7.2, although that hasn't been often. Trying to fix the camera preview proved to be quite a hard process that resulted in me wanting to kill the phone on several occasions. I never succeeded. While I was doing this, Tom_G was working on CM9 for the ZTE Blade and bukington has been doing some great work on CM9 for the U8800. I've now realised that the port won't be ready for 7.2 and I am therefore abandoning it. THIS DOES NOT MEAN I AM ABANDONING THE U8800 OR CYANOGENMOD FOR IT. I am going to focus my efforts on working with bukington to get CM9 working on it. He has already done a lot of the work and it's looking promising. I will spend as much time as I can on it, but I need quite high grades to get to the University I want to be in, so I am aware that most of my time will still have to be devoted to school.
I am sorry to anyone who I have disappointed with this device, but time really isn't something I've had a lot of in the past 6 or 7 months.
Can or you know how to create a kernel that can fix the problem of the atmel screens on the 2.3.5 roms, and I don't know if you understand what iam speaking about.

I don't know what the problem even is. I'd love to help with it but I'd rather focus on ICS work than kernels for gingerbread. My time is limited now unfortunately.
Ao you are planning to use the 3.0 kernel for the ics version? Because on the 4.0 rim from dzo his kernel is a 2.3.5 version

Good stuff mate, have seen your updates on buckingtons github. Thanks for all the work and not to sound like an old fart, but good on you for keeping your priorities in order. Personal life and uni is a lot more important than a phone.
If it is all good to let us know, how is Buckingtons ICS port coming along?

Cyanogenmod 13 for Huawei Mate 8

Hey, everyone.
I bought my Mate 8 about two weeks ago. After my personal HTC-Desaster over the last year, i couldn't be happier.
The only thing, that keeps me wondering, is this current OS...
Sooooo, i'm saying it out loud to start the discussion ...
Does anyone know, if and when cm13 for the Mate 8 will be released?
Don't be so much disappointed, if answer will be "never" ))

Huawei Mate 7, much older device, also Kirin cpu = doomed = zero custom roms.

Mate 8 will also remain without CM13 :crying:

I'm right there with you...
Maybe, they will change their mind? I mean so many producers first said, they would never share the code, and suddenly they did.
I guess this is the dividing line...
I'm usually the one recommending phones to people and this phone is a great one, however, if there is no potential to get any AOSP/CM based ROMs on this device, then it is doomed from my recommendation on a large scale.
We should start a petition to change this, but I don't know who will join and if we will be loud enough to get them to listen.
What is the main blocker in this? Source code, vendor blobs, proprietary something-er-other? Is the Kirin impossible to get working because of proprietary drivers? Sounds like we just need more higher level devs to crack this? Maybe we can start a bounty to buy a phone for a dev that has a track record of cracking this kind if issue? Just brainstorming.

This is the link to the Ascend Mate 7 thread where they discuss this exact same issue. Maybe we can get some of them on board or get on board with them to push HW!

Thx a lot. I just posted our discussion at their board, with an invitation to join us, if they wish. Since it's same problem, we are all facing, i thought it might help all of us to work together.

I agree. On my last phone, HTC One M8, I have used CM for maybe a week TOTAL in 21 months. I have also used Google Play Edition ROM for maybe 2 months. I did not mind Sense ROMs as the performance was best with these, and they had good features as well.

Damn..
Have used CM13 on Samsung S4. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Have used CM13 on LG G3. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Have used CM13 on LG G4. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Camera drivers are also often propietary. So if (will probably never happen) CM13 becomes a possibility for the Mate 8 there is always that issue as well.
I'd rather run a custom stock Rom with proper camera than an AOSP one without. And the Mate 8 is fast enough to be a great device, when using another launcher like Nova or Apex for example.
As always: YMMV, of course

This or...

Hey guys, this phone seems really appealing but I'm struggling to find reliable reviews of it. Currently undecided between this and that Oneplus 5... Anyone in a similar situation or have an opinion to share?
Well - in terms of specs this phone is really appealing, but don't know if they are gonna release a global version of the device.
I am in the same situation
regarding the love that the rom creators will bring in, i think that the oneplus will be the better choice, but i like the nubia and it's specs.
Plus, the price is unbeatable.
Haha yeah, I don't think there'll be much ROM support for the Nubia Z17, but already a few weeks or so after release they've pushed out a new OTA update, as well as updates for other phones. Hopefully they'll be well supported with Android O :/
I live in the UK so will have to import this model anyway, and found a great deal on:
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/ZTE-Nubia-Z17-5-5-Inch-6GB-64GB-Smartphone---Black-380167.html
I used the Honey extension on Chrome and that saved me £20! It doesn't tell me what the code is unfortunately, so can't post it here for any that are interested.
I checked the bands/frequencies and it covers the UK ones I require, and it's a 'worldwide' model. It just seems a bit strange to me that even on the Nubia/ZTE site it's not on there. But I'm gonna go for it...
Plus those edge control gestures seem to actually be loads better than the Samsung and HTC U11 ones... Correct me if I'm wrong though!

£350 (not £20 in the end, just £10)
I have one and it's beautiful. Build and feel of the device is amazing. Problem is there is no Google Play/Framework support yet and no root or TWRP. So I'm pretty much waiting. I hear some suppliers are shipping them with global ROM's with Google support.
If anyone can link me to a Global ROM it would be greatly appreciated. Can't wait to fully utilize this beast!
So how is the camera quality?

Haven't done any comprehensive testing with it yet. But from my short time with it, it's really nice and has some cool features. I always enjoy Nubia's camera software suite.

Does anyone think it's weird that there aren't many reviews and basically no xda forum on the Z17? Is it just because it's mainly confined to China for now (despite there being a global version available to buy/import online)? Kinda starting to question my purchase now XD

It's still a very new phone. Forum pages on here take a while to spin up for rare Chinese phones. Things will slowly begin to develop and trickle in.

Thank you for your translation
This phone goes toe to toe with OP5 but better priced. If kernel sources are made available then we'll see development for sure.
