[Closed] is cm going to support MI5s?

[sofapotatola]

Currently using Redmi note 3, with cm14 flashed.
If cm is also available on 5s, I think it will be an even better choice than google pixel.(considering the price)

Looks like he is just flashing bgcngm his build, and reporting...

His normal remarks when he is building are different, so i dont think he is building for Mi 5 (s) :crying::crying::crying::crying:

When some developer buy this phone and xiaomi release source code, development can begun. Have to wait. This phone is only 2 months old.

There will be no CM for this device if there are no sources released by Xiaomi it's as simple as that. So probably instead of bashing people from CM for support that they cannot offer first step would be to pressure Xiaomi on their own forums so at least they are aware that people want it. I'm not saying this will change anything because as a Chinese company they probably care very little about free and open source software licences bounded with the source code they use and profit from but at least if every one interested makes a post there this issue will be highlighted. There is already a request to release the sources here http://en.miui.com/thread-407935-1-1.html

i heard xiaomi doesn't include miui's new feature on mi5s/mi5s plus's developer rom because stability is first

i think xiaomi making mi5s/mi5s plus's kernel source completely and they will release it if it completed

(sorry for poor english)

 

[faldo]

it's not a question of "if", it's a question on "when" they release sources. Have a little faith and patience =)

*edit*

because as a Chinese company they probably care very little about free and open source software

From what i've seen, it's completely the oposite... chinese companies care very little about patents and are very open to trading/sharing source codes... have a look at this documentary:
