Signed it too.

If they refuse to release the source code, would there ever be a way for us to install a custom rom? Is it a matter of too much work or simply impossible?
Yeah you can build a custom ROM even I builder many ROMs u just need to port the ROM from device who have same chipset and same android version vivo nex is in Oreo am I right ? Then you can port Oreo ROMs only but can't build a kernel and ROM from source

Whitout source code, no pop up camera, no working fingerprint scanner
Try replacing from stock to port

/lib/libsensorservice.so
/lib/hw/sensor.msmxxxx.so

for camera

/lib/hw/camera.msmxxxx.so

I think we may need to change this initiative to just getting them to offer the global ROM. It's probably the best we can get and for us chineese ROM rocking folks, it will fix most of the pain we are sweating with dumbtouch OS.

Also,. "Joe" from vivo is a team of people all operating under the name joe. ?

At least poco (xiomi ) supports developers. Vivo and oppo are always going to be ****ty software phones , no matter how innovative and good hardware they have .

Vivo nex is dead for vivo team. They are focusing more on releasing more phones like the honor sub brand.
Definitely will be my first and last vivo/oppo device
