Give Xiaomi Mi2 Official MIUI v6 KitKat 4.4.4 Support!

[X4nfire]

Xiaomi is not much different than any other brands. But we have to remember that even google abandoned Galaxy Nexus after 2 years of support. With this i dont wanna say that is ok for me, because is not. I would the 4.4 sources (i dont care about miui v6). But we can't desperate if a 2 years old phone don't get 4.4 kitkat. Even if the hardware is good enough to run android L. Almost all brands don't give updates to a 2 years old phone. For me we have to push xiaomi in another direction. The publication of 4.4 updated source code. With these, Wjack, M1cha, XperianPro etc can make a good kernels\roms.

Of course we don't expect a lifetime support, that would be crazy.Nexus got a lot of updates as always in those 2 years and that's why people buy nexus devices.But every serious company gives a major update at least at mid and high end devices, i can give you a lot of examples but i'm sure you're already know that.We didn't even get 4.2!!! ... this is unheard for such a powerfull phone.I don't care about miui V6 too, all i want is 4.4 sources like you said.It's not like you can't live without 4.4 but supporting your devices show that you respect your customers and that makes them trust you again.A friend of mine was about to replace his galaxy S3 (which he bought with 4.0.4 and now running 4.3 btw) with Mi4 but after seeing that behavior lost his interest.And i can't blame him because he doesn't want to stick with KitKat...

This!
This is the reason why I signed a few days ago. I don't care about MIUI 6. Kernel, libs, etc, is what we (as mi2's users) really need. I think that phones like Nexus 4/5 are great, not (only) because of Google is behind, it's because the developers community is amazing.

Ask yourself again? Does 2 issues u mentioned really matters to u? It doesn't affect me at all. I'm a mi2s users and i tried ivan kk 4.4 miui, cm kk, mokee kk, invan's asop kk and to be honest, nothing beats the offical jb miui. So i'm happy to hear that us mi2 users will have the opputunity to see offical MIUI 6 coming to our devices and im looking forward to that. Btw, the chinese texts u posted was saything that either your ip was blocked or your account has been blocked from posting.

Pls try to install this nice *no-support-for-this-app-on-this-forum* on your JB MIUI. I think that may give u a reason to get a official KK.

Lmao just been reading up on this thread - blackysan troll level is over 9000. His retard level broke the scouter XD

Anyways, I don't know in what backwater country you live that you're so used to being a good sheep, but where I live the one that got my money will sure as hell have to listen. That's the thing with Chinese companies; they have the money and technology, but when it comes down to service they act like a demon that got holy water thrown at it. It's a mentality thing.

That's y u got yourself screwed! So learn your lesson and dont ever buy from any Chinese company again. keep in mind, one plus is a Chinese company, Oppo is a Chinese company, HTC is a Chinese company from Taiwan. SO u gotta becareful what to pick and dont end up like the Xiaomi phone u got that makes u a joke around your friends coz u r still on 4.1!

Just read the news from geek.miui.com http://geek.miui.com/content-24-737-1.html

Sorry i know u can't read chinese but u can try google translate em. what they were saying was pretty much about the MIUI 6 adaptation timeline for all Xiaomi phones. mi2 was felt under the 4th installment, which will be by the end of this year. the interesting thing was under the mi2 statement, they will start will android 4.1 MIUI 6 and Mi bracelet compatibility in 4.1 MIUI 6 plus DOES NOT RULE OUT THE FACT THERE WILL BE 4.4 KK UPGRAGE IN THE FUTURE.

Guys read this
http://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_find_5_wont_see_android_44_kitkat_update-news-9432.php
Oppo find 5 don't receive kitkat officially..Oppo said that Qualcomm don't send them binary for 4.3/4.4 support..
maybe ,as i think for xiaomi,they (oppo) don't buy some type of license to use these binaries..

Oppo Find 5 has same soc (APQ8064T) as Xiaomi Mi2s and as other brands (see on wikipedia http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Snapdragon#Snapdragon_600)

yes i know but according to wikipedia (and others sites) seems it's snapdragon 600 (apq8064T) ..
However don't change anything about binary support ..apq8064t is a revision of snapdragon s4 pro,
same thing for nexus 7 2013 that it's a variant of snapdragon 8064 (APQ8064–1AA)..

Probably these brands dont' acquire license for support of new android version from Qualcomm

It's true
Lei Jun's fault. He released the red rice and the relationship with Qualcomm became strained, because it was the main sponsor. Therefore, they released a tablet on Nvidia Tegra4... It's very complicated and you need to write Lei Jun's request.

P.S. but i searched it: http://www.miui.com/thread-1934008-1-1.html

Hahahaha just install Ivan's AOSP rom for now, its more stable then any official Xiaomi rom out there and it runs well... Oh yeah and sign the petition. Dont argue about the intentions of Xiaomi, who cares, there is a Dutch saying "nee heb je, ja kun je krijgen" it means: You always have 'no', but you might get 'yes'. The one that does not shoot will never hit its target

Spend your energy on getting other people to sign this petition instead of p****ng each other off, there is no use for that people

Maybe I'll sign it too ^^

 

[zicoxx]

I think this is the time to say enough is enough ..
we want respect ..
They get rich thanks to us and our money ..
So we demand respect ..
if we do just a laugh when we read these petitions, or use sarcasm to not commit will always be worse ..
need the commitment of all
Our criticism of the Xiaomi is not to have the update because you just put on the CM11 and nothing else, but to ask for respect and maintain the agreements ..

And above all, stop just taken to ass
(read the post above where there is a link to the source code 4.4.3)

I don't know Chinese but by some logical meaning I found that MIUI 6 will start rolling out soon and that Xiaomi MI3 TD should get it in 2-3 weeks and I think they confirmed MIUI 6 to be 4.1 for Xiaomi MI2.
