So this is one of the devices on a very short list that supposed to support Daydream. The question is: when the Google's official Daydream headset available, will it work with all the devices? Or is the idea that phone manufacturers need to build their own headset to accommodate their own phones?

I always chuckle when people say "The Google".
The phone should fit just fine. The problem is going to be that this phone came out with Android 6.0 and not 7.0. For all the features of Daydream to work right, you need to be on 7.0. So basically, your going to have a glorified Google Carboard until 7.0 is released for the Deluxe models or they release a boot loader unlock so that we can get a Nougat AOSP/Custom Rom on the phone for all features to be supported.

Is there a hardware reason why there aren't more recent android builds for them?
What newer features make it worth the effort to develop on newer versions? Battery life? - really? "Material design?" - meh. Multiple SIM card support? - huh? Fingerprint reader support? Android pay?
Maybe just a bigger number is better?

I agree with you.
Lollipop 5.0 is quite buggy, only 5.1.1 works decently, but it will give no practical benefits to a 1GB device.
And about Marshmallow 6.0, it has not yet been released even for many 2015 smartphone models, and its true advantages on a battery-less device would be questionable... and to enjoy the material design also the native launcher and apps will have to be redesigned.
Rockchip hasn't and probably wont release the SDK for Lollipop or above for RK3188 and RK3066 devices.
Hi,
since the launch of Xiaomi's new devices today, I'm expecting a price drop in all other phones,
so here are some of my questions:
1. Which variant to buy?
I want to try 3GB RAM, so I guess I'll go with 3\32\650 version which is named Hydrogen?
I also understand that it has more developer support?
2. Does it support multi window for productivity? Even on other dev roms?
If this feature isn't available on a large screen like this, I'll be disappointed
Maybe it is implemented on CM13? Is it a part of the Nougat android?
3. Does it fit into car \ bike \ underwater cases?
Did you have problems finding cases that fit?
Thanks for your help!
(If only this device had S-Pen...)

I don't think the price is going to drop (atleast places it is officially launched) because xiaomi phones rarely gets cheaper.
1) Yes, 3/32/650 is Hydrogen and has global Stock ROM (other version only Chinese), support is almost equal for all the versions.
2) Stock MIUI ROM doesn't have multiwindow support, CM13 has Multiwindow.
3) No problem in finding cases. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/accessories)
Is there a way to add mirrorlink to a none-mirrorlink supported device? I have a Pixel XL and had a Nexus 6P before and had a Nexus 5 before, and none of these devices are mirrorlink enabled, is there a way to make them support mirrorlink so I can get them to work in my car?
I'm very interested in getting to know this as well.
Me too.
I don't thimk it can be done. It has something to do with the hardware.
None of the technical info available suggest a hardware based solution.
I have found there is a Pionner app -Pioneer makes the HU for Toyota Aygo and its derivates Citroen C1 and Peugeot 108- that allows using iPhone 4S with the HU, as documented here:

Interesting thing is, this doesn't seem to be Mirrorlink per se, so there are chances that at least Pioneer based Mirrorlink HU can be made to connect to smartphones by other methods.
Hi,
I am looking for skilled developer who could add MirrorLink feature to Lenovo P2 (custom ROM).
According to VW site there are some Lenovo compatible phones with car infotainment, but not P2.
Simply I want this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNlIbFHI6oM
I can donate and pay extra money if you can do that - PM me.
I know that officially OP5t doesn't support Daydream VR (not the useless screensaver feature ).
But hardware seems to be totally sufficient and actually is even better than of some certified phones.
My question is, 'does someone have any success with making it work'? Oxygen, Lineage, Hydrogen, root/noroot?
You can try this.

So I'm looking to get a new stereo and wondering if wireless android auto will be available anytime soon. I've read that its going to be in android P and who know when we will get that.
Just looking for info before I waste money buying something I can't use.
I have a Galaxy S9 with a JVC wireless android auto head unit and I can confirm that the S9 does not support android auto wireless at this time. No word from Google or Samsung on the matter either.
Hopefully this is being added with the Android 9.0 Pie update to the Galaxy S9.
