Good news everyone, Google buys Motorola! Let's hope we get more frequent OS updates now!
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/15/google-acquiring-motorola-mobility/
This was so out of the blue.
Love they did it just to make everyone step up their game.

Wow. This costs more than the nortel patents, but it actually gives google something concrete, not just ammunition against patent trolls. The big change this shows though is google stepping into the hardware side. The questions are:
1: will motorola phones become the new android standard? No more samsung or HTC nexus phones?
2: will google customer service improve? I haven't dealt with motorola before so I dunno how they handle customers.
Yada yada tapped
Blimey, lets hope they appreciate the Defy and not forget about it.
It would be great if they will support Defy with Gingerbread...

Maybe not the defy will take a few months for the company's to join and sort stuff out. But Tue ics phones will be epic.
Cm7 is our only hope.

No official gb update for defy in many if not all markets. That was the word.

I wouldn't count on them supporting such an "old" device. I guess it would only be noticable on future devices. Does this move turn them automatically in GEDs?

I hope they do, but i don't think they will unlock the bootloaders.
I'm sure, they want to have only Android running on their phones, and opening up the bootloaders, also lets you install other operating systems :/
But, as i already said, i hope they still unlock the bootloaders.
google can do anything to make moto users happy!
so cant say what they will do

Yeah - I'm hoping it's that they strip Blur out. In the absence of that, at least replace the components with leaner services from The Goog.
Let's just hope they don't decide to make Blur into an Android-wide "feature".
I bought this tablet with pleasure last week, and I saw how much "ROM" There are, in fact there are many!
I wanted to know, according to you in a year or two, the situation will be like? If there is any developer who reads these lines, what do you think? Svilupperesti for another year from now or hope for him?
Little Offtopic: I paid it € 215, is a good price?

Great price!
I'm not a developer, but I hope they'll continue to support this device for 1-2 mire years until it becomes obsolete.

Please contact LG if you own the tablet and ask them about Android L support. I have already done so and they only could say "no decision has been made at this time". The more of us that contact them and ask the question the better chance we have of seeing an Android L release of the stock software.

Just tell them you represent XDA!
When I was contacting LG support for SD card bug, I asked if they are planning for android L, their response was that they will patch SD bug, but do not plan to upgrade android version...but who knows, we must believe. And if not, custom ROM will work
The Google Play Edition will ( or should) be upgraded, as the upgrade will fall into the respective timeframe that they allow for the support of gpe devices. Guess we'll see.

Do it for the team!
Seriously, though, while I think it's a must to nag LG about continuing support, I'm not sure there's enough of a user community to get LG's attention, unless their past track record of updates has changed . . . .
Okay, thanks to all for replies..
About unofficial rom what do you think?
Ps:I have send an email to LG for official update, but the reply is a standard "we don't know".
Now that we have kernel sources can we port the pixels camera or do we still need a few more things? Also when can we expect to see some roms that use the kernel sources for this device?
Well the kernels were only released 5 minutes ago...

Hi guys , I have talked with a owner of Nexus 6P | Nexus 5x | Pixel | LG V20 and Developer of roms for this phones , and he makes the WETA Rom for this devices.
The first talk I had with him I asked him if we could get him a Mi5s if he could do a Nexus/Pixel experience for our Mi5s and seeing that he has a Pixel and some Nexus I think he would be perfect to Build a nice Pixel Rom for our devices.
But to do this we would have to make a Funding so we could get him a Mi5s.
What do you think about this?

It would be cool. And it can be arranged.
But look, the developer buys the phone, makes the firmware on it, what differences will it have from AOSP? A camera from a pixel?
I think the main thing that people are interested in is the creation of a mod that replaces the standard image processing libraries with similar ones from a Google pixel.
WETA rom will also be interesting, is it the focus on the audio capabilities of the phone?

I think we could ask him if he could port the Pixel Camera and it's capabilities to the Rom seeing that the Pixel has the same Sensor.
But yeah basically the WETA Rom as I understood it is focused on the Audio Capabilities and in Stability.
But the only thing is that we would have to join forces so we could all just donate 1€ or something like that and get him a Mi5s.

Okay, you personally know him?) In any case, I think we need to first ask about the camera, it's about porting the algorithms to mi5s)
As soon as you ask him, keep us informed, because its very interesting :highfive:

I don't personally know him , I just reached out to him when I bought my Mi5s so I could get an ideia if any Dev with a Pixel would be interested in developing Roms to the Xiaomi Mi5s
And he answered me with a positive note back at that time , now I have reached out to him again to see if he is still interested in making a Rom to our Mi5s in case we could get him one and as soon as he answers me I will ask him about the camera. Because as all of us , I too want a Pixel perfect Rom for our Xiaomi Mi5s , it would be the Cherry on top of the cake.
I would also make a bit of donations for his phone
i used weta on my previous gs6 and i must say, stable and good rom. Dev was quick in answering in that days..
I have faith in him
Hi there , guys I'm sorry to have taken so much time to answer you, but this is because the Weta Dev stop answering me I don't know why.
I have talked with another Dev's from the Pixel Section and 3 Devs have answered me with a positive atitude saying that they wouldn't mind to try to Make a Pixel rom for our Mi5s.
Are you guys still interested in trying to get Money to buy them a Mi5s and seeing with they can do it?
Best regards
Oh yes
Yea
Okay, where do we start?

I guess first we should choose which one of the Dev's we want to try it seeing that we have more than one.
Second I think would be to make a new Thread to see how many people can donate and see if we could get the money to buy the device.

Not yet, to be honest never developed before other then one port, about six years ago. So the going is slow. Also doing this between work and a one year old son. Sorry for the amount of delay

I can test it just need to know how to back up DRM keys, etc on this one. Have custom rom on previous phones just need to be aware of process on this phone.

So an update for everyone.... Well I spilled beer on my keyboard.... Can't make this **** up... So I just got a new keyboard( sorry it took a bit) but I've got a new one and back to work. I'm sorry for the delay but this is my first foray into rom development and while it might not be a big undertaking for most, this is a first for me. I'm going to attempt lineage first, as they have the most up to date documentation, this will not be 8.0 and even once it's out for us I probably won't go there for a long time as I do not yet have the skills to troubleshoot and provide a reliable rom on a brand new os (for us atleast) so thank you for the patience as I'm doing this with a 1.5 year old who loves to cause chaos, (lol), hope all is well and I will update as I can
I've just brought the phone, I'm in for a test.
Would definitely be interested in testing as well. Thanks a lot for the work you're doing. I think this phone has a lot of potential outside of what Sony has done for it.

Hi everyone,
Is there any chance the custom ROM scene will take up this device? As far as I know it is a pretty solid and budget friendly device that I figured would get custom ROM support quite fast but so far I haven't been able to find any.
If there are teams working on it, can someone link me some more info?

Eventually. Most devices that have loads of Roms and Kernels are most popular and have Android devs who work on them. I'm kinda in the same boat. I have A71 Samsung and there are very few Roms
Still hoping...
Great device at a most reasonable price. I don't know how to develop my own custom rom, but certainly hope somebody else will...

I really hope so too. The affordable price and quite decent specs seem to make it well suited for it. But of course it all comes down to popularity too. So far I have really been loving it (aside from the always on display being WAY too sensitive to movement of my phone) and am planning to use it for a very long time. Just like the good old Motorola Razr and Krzr phones haha.

If you go to https://omnirom.org/#devices you'll see the list of available devices (of which the g 5G+ is one). The link there is the one I posted earlier

Early builds by this developer are like final builds by some others .

I am hearing a lot of positovity about it indeed but somehow I am really struggling with getting the bootloader unlocked etc using a chromebook.. will just wait for a decent guide I guess.
The rom is marked "unofficial". Is this safe to use? Also do I use weekly or microg? Thanks for any guidance.
