It's a Preety Premium Device.
But..The question is
Will it Get the Custom Rom Support. We know it comes with a mediatek Processor which Seems Like... "Okay... No High Hopes"
But , The OnePlus Nord 2 also had a Mediatek Processor and It's Custom rom Support is Very Good . Is this happening Because OnePlus have a Good Custom Rom Community or As Rom Builders say "Making Custom Roms for Latest Mediatek Processors is Much Easier"
First we need a volunteer that cook a costum recovery...
If anyone need the link for the kernel here it is https://github.com/OnePlusOSS/andro...893/tree/oneplus/mt6893_s_12.1_oneplus_nord2t
So because *reasons* I'll also be getting a Nord 2T soon, once it gets back from repair.
And I'm thinking about trying my hand at compiling ROMs for it. Personal end-game would be TWRP and /e/OS.
That said, while I've got software dev experience, (needing to) build ROMs is a first so wish me luck!
Wanted to make sure I signed up here so anyone else working on it, wanting to test can find me!

So far I've not found people building for Nord 2T. But like @Kartikey Negi mentioned there's a fair amount of work done on the Nord 2 (denniz). Which has a very similar, but not the exact same SoC.
Nord 2 is using the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 (MT6893).
While the Nord 2T uses MediaTek Dimensity 1300 (MT6893Z, afaik).
Edit: looks like there's no "MT6893Z" references in a getprop of an actual Nord 2T, it just refers to MT6893.
On the spec sheets these look very similar. With the obvious difference seemingly being a newer "MediaTek HyperEngine 5.0 gaming technologies" vs "3.0" on the 1200.
They're also similar enough that OnePlus is using branches in the same GH repo for both kernel flavors. The one @PattasuBalu linked above. Has anyone tried basing off the Nord 2 work?
For example:
- From @SakilMondal (https://github.com/SakilMondal?tab=repositories&q=denniz)
- Or @Giovix92 (https://github.com/oneplus-mt6893-devs/)

I don't have any cooking ROM experience but I'm a low level softEngineer, if do you need help contact me. I'm interested 'cause my cell phone is too an OnePlus Nord 2T and i love murena software
Myself and @PattasuBalu have made some good progress on getting TWRP to work.
It still needs some more work to be ready for general use, but if you're feeling brave you can find it here

Dear Sir, thank you for your information on the caption, do you have any method to recover my phone as my attached figure? thank a lot
There is no way to fix this at the moment.

Hello everyone,
This is a work in progress thread meant to gather info about how to add hotword detection support while the screen is off and the processor is in deep sleep. Ideally, this will work just like the Pixel devices by Google, so you'll be able to get to the assistant by saying "Ok Google" without turning on your device.
Let's start off with the first big question: Is the hardware that's required to do this in our devices?
Well, not every device. I have only looked into Qualcomm SoCs, but this is also possible with some Exynos processors through S Voice.
Qualcomm first added support for Hotword detection with the Snapdragon 800. The only device prior to that processor that had support for Hotwords was the first gen Moto X, which had its own Custom chip separate from the processor. However, my research indicates that all devices after the Snapdragon 800's launch use the processor's DSP for this job.
You can view the announcement of this feature for the Snapdragon 800 at this link:
https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2...akes-mobile-world-snapdragon-voice-activation
In the blog post, the feature is mentioned as Qualcomm Voice Activation. I also found out that this was eventually also backported to the Snapdragon 600. However, looking elsewhere online reveals that this has other names as well, as it is part of Qualcomm Fluent PRO and All-Ways Aware. There are marketing videos for both online, and they all work with the Hey Snapdragon hotword. However, it seems that all of these features are part of the Hexagon DSP on the actual SoC and that they are compatible with v5 and up. So that means that technically all processors in the 600, 700 (in the future) and 800 line should be able to do this.
As far as I'm aware, the only device that uses the Hey Snapdragon wakeup command is the OnePlus One, which has a Snapdragon 801. On its default firmware, CyanogenMod 11S, you could go into the device's settings and train the device by saying Hey Snapdragon three times. Then, you could select the activity that would run every time you said it.
Someone on XDA updated this feature for newer firmware versions and looking at the flashable zip files it has one application file, a modified mediaserver, a modified audio library for its processor and some lib files for voice detection. I haven't attempted to Port this feature for any other device, but I doubt that it would work, even on devices with the same SoC.
I have also looked at Qualcomm's forums and found this thread which has a reply with links that could probably help us out here:
https://developer.qualcomm.com/foru...timedia-optimization-hexagon-sdk/speech/28153
This is source code from the Google Pixel and AOSP which might be the solution to making this work. I am not familiar with C and AOSP's code, so if someone with more experience could check this out, that would be great!
Lastly, I want to mention that I have a couple of devices that could help with testing including my daily driver Xiaomi Mi 5 (Snapdragon 820), a now retired LG G2 (Snapdragon 800) and a Galaxy S7 Exynos which should be able to use S Voice for this but I have not tested it yet. My friend @David_#27 also has a Redmi Note 4X (Snapdragon 625) and I could probably also borrow a Redmi 4X (Snapdragon 435) if we ever need it for testing.
Hopefully we can get some more info on this topic from people that have looked into this more than I have. Please reply to this topic with any info you may have, any help is very much appreciated! Making this work eventually on our devices would be incredible!
Thank you
Bump!
@chrismin13, think this thread is dead...
No one is taking our consideration for real!?
In my opinion it is kind of creepy having the device listen to every sound around it at all times. Many, MANY, exploits were released in 2016 and 2017 specifically based around bugs in mediaserver, and audioserver.
You said this might entail using "...a modified mediaserver, a modified audio library for its processor and some lib files for voice detection..."
So I don't know if I'd even want to mess around with that until maybe even 8.1

True, there are significant security concerns. However, many other devices have also invaded our personal lives, with smart speakers especially becoming more popular lately. I agree, this is scary, but if I'm the one making the code for my device, then I'm more confident knowing what my device does. Also, this is more of an experiment rather than a long term solution. So it's up to you whether you want it or not. I'm willing to take the risk.
1) I'm hoping someone can advise pls! I'm a very light user mostly for wsapp and sometimes maps/gps when walking (no gaming and occasionally watch youtube videos) so was hoping to find something £40-£50.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M20-Pro-...var=564119885073&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
There are others I'm looking at but they don't mention anything about the processor (sometimes it'll mention the number of cores but no name)? The specs seem way better than even xiaomi phones for the same money, I know there's gonna be no support updates etc. how important is that? Couldn't I just search for a custom ROM, try to upgrade to higher android version etc? Would it be difficult/impossible to find roms for an unbranded phone?
Also I've read that there's a possibility they could just be sneaky re-brands so potentially could be getting a xiaomi etc. phone for less?
2) I'm also considering paying a bit more if unbranded is a no-go. Xiaomi Redmi 7 3GB/32GB around £100 vs Xiaomi Mi Play 4GB/64GB if it's £6 more?
I like the extra ram and storage for only £6 more but the battery seems better on R7 and larger screen
MTK devices

I've seen some advertisements (on wish.com or Ali Express) for devices with no apparent name brand that mention having 10 core processors, dual sim, Android 9 and more. These are all MTK devices which pose difficulties if you want to flash a ROM into them to upgrade or change something. RCA tablets are MTK devices and I, along with many others have spent a lot of time just trying to gain access to such devices. It's been done. However, it has been more than difficult as of yet to find any compatible ROMs and these devices are extremely picky when it comes to using other ROMs. For those of us that are currently still working on it, we have yet to find anything compatible. That's not saying they are bad devices, they are actually pretty good I've had mine (the RCA Maven, Viking and Galileo) for years with little problems.

Thanks for the reply. Any MTK processor devices are difficult/unlikey to have custom roms or tweak/upgrade in any way?

Theoretically there should be, but many here would rather work on the newest devices most of which are not MTK (Media Tek). They're not built like Samsungs and if you open one up the whole motherboard is the size of today's phones or roughly one quarter the size of the tablet which could be the reason they're so cheap. The only thing I've been able to flash into mine is the original stock firmware, anything else led to bricking. And recovering from a brick is difficult the SP Flash tool is nothing like the Odin3 we use for Samsungs.

I have also bought uhans u300 and took a look at the Development & Support topic here, there's absolutely no way to upgrade it from Android 6.0?
Hi,
since today there's the big 11.11 sale and I could need a new secondary phone I was looking for a cheaper model (say up to 150€ maybe 200€).
One could get some very nice hardware for this money already, but unfortunately they come with software that I don't trust.
Also I'd like to avoid Xiaomi and their annoying bootloader unlocking process (unless it's Android One).
Do you know any newer phone model or brand in general that has good custom ROM support? I looked at the supported device list of LineageOS but most of the devices are either a bit old or quite expensive. Ulefone, Dogee, Umidigi, Oukitel or how they are all called - I don't care as long as I can install my own software.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Idk if this offer will be available in your country, but for 204€ you can have a google pixel 3a, it has really good ROM support, easy bootloader unlock, and official Android updates.
Here's the link : https://www.backmarket.fr/google-go...cSYGn2dk7zH0iLe_IMj76LldDMGMtSYRoCnuoQAvD_BwE
Try this one if the other doesn't work with your country :
https://fr.shopping.rakuten.com/mfp...rid=pt|930664584875|m|471167205547|3912771384
In short, Google pixel 3a is a good 2ndary phone
The cheap knock offs state fake specs on the phone and descriptions. Since they are all slightly different you would have to study the product in detail using an app called phone information. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inpocketsoftware.andInfo&hl=en_CA&gl=US
The most common processor is the MT65XX. Most of these phones are surprisingly 32bit only. The sellers will never tell you exact specs before you buy, so it's a gamble. I have the Oukitel K9 with a MT6765 that works with Android 12 GSI, but lacks a partition and required some additional magisk setup. Having this knowledge you can look for Oukitel as a model number in the Spec on websites. For instance Mix 4 (knock off) all fake specs but the model is Oukitel and chances are the processor should be Mediatek. If the processor is greater than MT67XX and Ram is 4GB then you will be able to install GSI provided the partitions are standard.
Hello community.....happy to see all are still helping needy......
Today it's my turn I request all my lovely developer's to clear my confusion....
I just wanted to buy a new phone with dimensity chipset. But as I know it's made by Mediatek, n with my little knowledge It's big a problem for developer's with Mediatek chipset to develop custom roms as they never or rarely release their source code.
So my question is now (I think) trend is changing is there any possibilities to have some custom roms based on newly launched Dimensity 7,8,10,11 & 12 series chipset based phone's.
If someone shred a your precious light on this issue will solve my problem in buying a new phone.
Thank you in advance n believe me will hit button as much I have allowed
I also was questioning the same thing. Let's hope we will get an answer
Still no answer to this? Are those chips so unpopular?

Don't know bro ...still not able to decide which one to go either with dimensity 1200 or sd695....may be my thread is not that much popular
I am using the Realme 9 Pro plus for some time now. It is a great device but I would go with an SD chipset in the future.
if you dont need custom rom , emulation , then mali gpu is fine
Hello there!
I would like to know which specifications should i know before looking for a ROM or another, due to the fact that i haven`t been able to see many ROMs on this subforum.
There are a couple of them i would like to try, but sadly i dont find them over here (one of them is CorvusOS, and the other one is ParanoidAndroid).
Give all this information, and having tried to read and inform myself a little bit, i have found several things i would like to know before doing anything:
I have a Redmi 9AT, which if im not wrong "similar" to Redmi 9A. There is a custom ROM for Redmi Note 9 Pro, ¿could it work a ROM for that device, work on mine?, if it weren`t the case, ¿which specs should i look for?
I have used this page to compare these 3 devices.
If it weren`t possible none of them, i would at least like to try ArrowOS, but before anything i would like to know your opinions
A Custom ROM must be tailored to device's hardware specs to work properly.

Yes! I have read that, but i wonder if with changes on specific fields (for example on this case, CPU and GPU) could still be viable.
Like most of the other components, seem to be similar
Thanks for your answer
