Elephone told me today the 26th of January that the Vowney wont be get source-code released, well that's their stance at the moment. They are releasing the source for the P9000, their darling phone.
What the source code would allow the community to do would be to attempt to compile/build Vowney Roms and other features.
I opened up a thread on their official forums for people to hamper them:

P9000 has 13 Mpx camera, where Vowney has 21 Mpx. It's not really the same...

It was confirmed that Lenovo practically received the brand and future projects of Motorola devices with their own people, but all patents and the interesting Project Ara is still Google and Sundar Pichai might be directly involved.
At least that are some good news to me.
that explains why they sold for 2.9m. much less than the 12+m they paid for it in 2011... they're keeping patents and projects...
Expectations are building as they confirmed to be present at MWC 2014 in Spain...Hope means good news.
I'm really confused, I thought the OnePlus One was made by Oppo in partnership with Cyanogen Inc. but at least according to the wikipedia articles (Cyanogen, OnePlus, Oppo) there doesn't seem to be such a cohesive connection. Does anyone have an explanation?
Note that the OnePlus wiki page keeps changing...

oneplus is its own company. oppo is an investor and does some of the manufacturing. cyanogen licenses cm11s to oneplus for its international units. be careful, people pull out their tinfoil hats over this.

OnePlus is the company who designs/produces/sells the phone, ie. it's their device. Oppo is the company who is manufacturing it for them. OnePlus was actually started by an ex Oppo exec and last I heard, the speculation was that OnePlus is actually a spinoff company from Oppo. Cyanogen Inc is providing the software. Before they were an actual company, Cyanogen was the most popular custom ROM amongst the modding community. So this phone essentially ships with the ROM that most people flashed on their other devices.
Basically, the device is publicly a collaboration between OnePlus and Cyanogen, with Oppo working behind the scenes. Hope that answers your question.
HMD started releasing Kernel Source Codes of some of its devices. This code enables us to use the hardware of our phones, and probably makes developers job much easier.
The original Nokia 6 and Nokia 1 were the first devices whose source code was published Hopefully, Nokia 8 source code is available.

I think without unlocked bootloader; this worth nothing
Please see below for details:

Because the OnePlus 6 was released May 2018, I would think this would mean Android Q (10.1?) with support until May 2020, and another year of security patches until May 2021.
This is pretty nice. This is just personal opinion but I'm not really worried about updates for this device as there is the huge developer scene for these phones anyways. It's nice to know that OnePlus is being upfront with their update schedules now.
Good to know, another positive when I sell it.
Dear guys
My English is not very good, so the following content is a translation software completed, if there are reading uncomfortable places, please forgive me
When will our K30 PRO or Poco F 2pro users have an exciting developer optimized third party kernel. The source code for the machine is already available on the open source kernel of Xiaomi's GITHUB project, and as you know, Xiaomi's devices are easy to unlock, so the basics for building a kernel are in place, why didn't the third-party kernel arrive?
At the same time, I noticed that the number of forum of this machine is too small, which is not in line with the popularity of this excellent machine, but it is also very popular on a forum in China. The machine is also on sale in India, and a lot of people would be happy with a good third-party Kernel!
I hope soon, Oneplus devices getting kernels on first weeks...
The kernel is already released: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-k30-pro-kernel-source-code/
