[UPDATE: It's Out!] Kernel Sources [LINK]

[The Dork Knight Rises]

My conversation with Hugo Barra of Xiaomi may interest you Devs and owners of the Mi3...

So I e-mailed him, and asked him if he knows the status of the Lollipop ROM by Ivan which was teased before.
[See THIS POST by me]

This is what he replied.

So I guess we still have to wait a few more months...but if this time, it's true, then I suppose I can live with that...:fingers-crossed:

[NOTE: I know threads exist for both kernel sources and Lollipop discussion, but I couldn't decide where to post this, so instead of posting same thing in both, I made this thread. If mods think that's not the right procedure, please make whatever changes you want. Just that people need to know this!]

EDIT:
An official update regarding kernel sources (at least now they're not ignoring the matter):
http://en.miui.com/thread-66692-1-1.html

Turns out we were right in speculating that the reason they haven't released it is cuz they're still working on the Mi4 using the same sources.

Here's an extract:
"The reason we have not shared kernel sources yet is actually quite simple. Hugo explained this at the press conference in India last week. The kernel source code for these devices contains a significant amount of source code that will be used in two upcoming models. If we release the kernel source in its current state, we will be revealing more than we would like to about future devices. We will change this going forward, but right now it is a constraint we have to live with. We hope you can understand this position, and we're very sorry for the frustration we may have caused!"

That's right, they're acting like they haven't been violating the GPL all this while...

Wonder what the other device is, though...
(EDIT: Turns out it was the Mi Note!)

UPDATE:

Sources are out:

Yup. But if this is TRUE, and they DO release all sources in that time, I can afford to wait...
But it'll be hard, yeah...
