I am trying to understand more about android to be able to get MIUI running on my bullhead device.
How is google stopping us from running Lollipop on it and can it be bypassed?
Is it possible to port a for example SD 810 rom to our SD 808? I understand it might not be the easiest but I can't find any information at all about cross chipset porting, only for MTK chipsets.
I know that this is probably not any easy task and it would probably just be easier to buy a MI device, but I got nothing to do on my vacation so thought I would try and educate myself some.

Google is stopping us by never providing firmware for lollipop. Why would they develop older firmware for a new device. If you're trying to port a lollipop rom it won't work since there is no lollipop base for the 5x.

That's fair enough. I guess even if two devices has seemingly identical hardware there are still slight differences. Any idea if it's possible to cross port between Snapdragon chipsets? I only know computers I'm afraid and there it doesn't matter much if it's amd, intel xeon or i3 as long as the architecture is the same.

Would it be possible to create a Marshmallow Rom from scratch like they did for the OPO for example? Since we unofficially have 5.1.1, shouldn't it be the same process to get 6.0 or do we need some stuff from asus since it's a "real" new version ? Was just wondering.
not another marshmallow thread

Yeah, I saw that before posting but we know that if it happens, it's going to be in a while.I'm talking about an AOSP version made from scratch not the official version from Asus. I looked it up and apparently, we need the x86 intel sources for 6.0 to make it work so it seems to be impossible so far. Thanks for the reply thought.

Hello!
According to Google, Huawei Nova 3e is P20 Lite, so you should go to this section.
installed recovery but not rooted
You are in the wrong forum. This is for the original Nova, not the device you have.
Hi,
I am about to buy Nova 3 or 3i when available, but my friend told me not to buy Kirin because I wont be able to modify it.
I dont modify phone unless I have to, like if after 2 years Huawei stopped the updates and I cant afford the new one, then I want to install new rom or new android.
Is my friend correct?
Thanks

Hi!
Kinda all Huawei phones are dead on XDA and the fact that it has Kirin it matters a lot. You see, Kirin is like Mediatek. If you want XDA support, then don't buy a phone with Mediatek or Kirin, because this matters a lot when it comes to development. Qualcomm is simply the best out there. Of course, there's phones with Qualcomm which lacks XDA support too, like Nova, Sony's phones and some others I guess, but having Mediatek / Kirin wouldn't help that and it would actually do the contrary.
Also, Huawei won't allow unlocked bootloader anymore soon, so you won't be able to install any ROM (not even root), but you'll be able to be stuck with an outdated security patch and with an outdated Android version because Huawei says that the phone is not eligible for the newer Android version.
If I would want to buy a new phone now, I think I'd look into the Xiaomi ones since they have good XDA support and they're cheap.
Thanks. Its a pity because I am looking forward for Huawei Nova 3.
I guess, theres no other choice now, I will try to go for Mi8 SE
So I'll start this off by saying I haven't used the official version of Pie, due to having an unlocked bootloader, and can't find a download so I can install manually. But here's my question:
I know the G6 Play supports 64-Bit, so are any of the Pie ROMs available on this phone 64-Bit? I'm currently using the Descendant GSI, and its 32. I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a 64-Bit version of Pie, if one even exists.

There is no 64bit rom available unfortunately. It would require someone building a rom specifically for our device compared to a gsi image. One can exist if someone decides to build a rom that is able to use the 64bit architecture but that alone would be a hassle not including already building one for the device in general. before this device got it's own forum this question was asked and answered way better than I can answer it lol
there's no relations between having an unlocked bootloader and not updating to pie, just as a note. as long as your phone is on stock stat, with no modifications, just go and upgrade.
Hi all,
I am the old owner of this device and was wondering to which latest possible Android version can I update it. Even unofficially supported ofc. Currently running 6.1.
Any helper links are welcome.
Thank you.

Hi, I updated my Tab S T-800 with Resurrection Remix based on 14.1 and it works really great.
Tried LOS15.1 too, but wasn't stable.

Guys, I have Samsung Galaxy TAB S (SM T805) if I update it to a newer version will it be faster?
Or if I root the tablet?

Newer firmware doesn't necessarily make the device faster. There isn't much you can do about a 9 yr old device.
Since the T800/T805 are not Treble compliant, the only way to run newer firmware is via custom ROMs, although I doubt development on devices this old gets much attention.
So what I understand is there is not much to do with the tablet to make it a little bit faster.
What about root or that is a different matter?
And last question about

Root is a different matter. In most cases, you can flash the Magisk app through TWRP, and Magisk will automatically detect the right way to root your device. If TWRP is not available, you'll need to patch the AP firmware file in Magisk, then flash to your device with Odin.

Would you be able to suggest which old tablets could make sense to flash semi-current roms onto? I tried to bring back some old device to reuse for home assistant display, but it's too old... Been thinking about these samsungs, but from this thread it's also a bit too old.

I don't have any suggestions, sorry. I have a Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (T290) at home that I'm running an AOSP GSI on, but those were released in 2018.

imho it's correct that a custom ROM doesn't necessarily make old devices faster, but I experienced it such that at least they don't get slower (except I9195).
Recently I was allowed to support development of Android 19=LOS 20 for my T325 and it runs like hell.
P600 and P900 on LOS14, T810 on LOS19 all using daily in different rooms.
I9195 on LOS18 (that is really laggy) N910F on LOS18 as backup devices.
Is it technically possible to make a custom android 10 or android 11 rom for this phone?
Technically possible? Maybe? Will it be able to even run it decently? Probably not. This device is nearly 7-8 years old, it wouldn't be worth the hassle for the performance you'd get

If you are looking for something newer check out the LG V20 or V30 as they should be able to run a custom Android 10 or 11 Rom.
