How is Cyanogenmod prepared for the device? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just up late excited about the hopefully imminent release of the N5.
Do any devs feel generous to describe what their first steps are to get CM working on a device once it's released? And is the Nexus 5 particularly easier than other devices because...?
Not asking for the purpose of a release date, but just really curious how the development process goes. I'm a comp sci major and am just in awe of what you developers do. Thanks!

Well first 4.4 source needs to drop. CM 10.2 will never make it to this device... we are going to have to wait a few weeks until CM 10.3 nighties start.

I understand. I'm less interested in the question of "how long" though as I am in "how?"

+1 data can wait
Regarding data, if you get 3G to work before 4G, I think some of us wouldn't mind having a 3g only ROM. I know it took slayher a while to get LTE working when he had 3g already.

Honestly I estimate a release in as little as 72 hours with data working as well.... i will keep everyone posted and as far for testing it will have to wait till the initial release just hang tight!

Thunderbolt is boring

Is anyone else getting INSANELY bored with the same old stuff for the T-bolt? I know that I am currently missing the daylights out of my good ole trusty HTC G2. Does anyone have some advice? I am running the new hacked 2.3 rom right now, but there doesnt seem to be anything truly new done.

Feel free to shove off anytime now, mate. Clearly you don't pay much attention to your surroundings, but there's some excellent work out there. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I don't buy phones to see how many crappy ROMs I can flash on it. The Tbolt dev community is focused tightly on cranking out reliable, feature-rich, functional ROMs. None of these guys are slouches. And now that I've said my piece, I'm gonna forward this thread to the first mod I run across because its totally pointless. Thanks for your vacuum of input.
Have u tried a aosp rom....
Sent from my A05PTH3ORYB0LT using XDA App
Yeah, some of the AOSP roms are beautiful BUT I personally think we need to pull together to get that darned RIL working with MIUI and THEN the T-bolt will be amazing again.
@ Loon: Hiya bud, nice to see ya trollin yet another thread ;-)
G2 came out ages ago when most things were new on android....maybe that's why nothing seems "innovative" to you anymore
There's a saying that everything seems great in the past because we forget the things that were bad.

I like how you think loon is the troll. You realize that a vast majority of the people in these forums don't care about your opinion, as they find the Thunderbolt to be an awesome, feature rich phone with fantastic dev support.

HANG ON! I THINK I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DECODE THIS TEXT! Here's what I've pulled from this message....
I think he's talking about the partially working JellyBean ROM in our NS GSM development section. And he is referring to the title "crack flasher". Apparently its a term crack dealers are familiar with. When he said "I remember when I sold....", I believe he was literally talking about a time when he used to deal crack. Then he closed up by making a joke that crackheads are crazy and will say or do anything (even if that means lying, cheating, etc) for crack. This ties directly to a joke or disappointment towards the ROM. The ROM isn't fully functional so maybe he is trying to connect the developer to a crack head in the sense that they'll do anything for a "drug". The symbolic "drug" that the DEV has is getting people to flash his ROM and get posters, even though it isn't finished (because the DEV lied in the OP's opinion).
All in all he was just making a poorly written joke about the title in the thread that pertains to the JellyBean port.
You're welcomed fellow forum members. Now we can all sleep easier tonight. The OP's message will no longer plague our heads with confusion.

It's currently in testing and the main bugs include WiFi, Fingerprint, Camera and Audio.
This is definitely something to look forward to! Feel free to sound off and reply to the thread.

Take note that I posted this thread way before he posted that announcement as well. This is not copy-pasted as I was the one to break the news first.
hope we get official

Can't wait for lineage OS. I have waiting for over 6 months for this now.

Before say something stupid, try to search. The developer from lineage os 14.1 with the help of other devs are working on it...

That usually happens if you stretch a low res image, or converting image from one format to another. It's not necessarily a doctored screenshot.
Will it support Quick charge or fast charge?

You are so naive. I'll provide more screenshots once I get them. In the meantime, stop trying to disprove things just because photoshop is rampant.

Community development strength

You're a power user. Can the Xiaomi Mi 9 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Xiaomi Mi 9. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Very seriously don't think it will no major devs are building for this device and there was a fundraiser for development but that went down the drain so in short good luck
I think that its very poor. No custom kernels and many roms. Every developer went for OP 7

I am happy with MIUI 10 since I have root and the goodies I need.
It was very hard to root, everything is different than vanilla Android devices.
But you really can't brick a MIUI device because there is a MIUI Flash Tool that works like a charm.
I tried AOSP Pixel Experienec and I didn't like it.
Also side button and fingerprint not working.

Yes but for months there is no custom kernel.. but every other Xiaomi device has some. Dunno why? Probably I would go for OP7 if I knew it earlier
It is a kind of sad not to see that much development for our beautiful device. I just tried the Havoc OS Treble ROM which only has a not that good camera as in miui, everything else worked good. Battery was lasting a lot longer.
I also miss F2FS support.
Same that A2. I thinked this Device would have custom Roms.

I also funded for this guy buying its device for developing lineage os. But I am asking what happend? Do you have some information?
To answer the question:
Very sad developing scene so far for this device. At first I didn't want to root and use custom ROM at all but I don't like miui and its bugs so hard I am really waiting for a good and stable Rom.
