Sorry, but we're also in the dark about that yet. I'm trying to get as much information as I can.

Hi,

I'm one of the guys who contributed in the unofficial CyanogenMod13 rom, and yes, this is not a perfect build etc. But it's really hard for us to get anything working because we don't have the sources. This is a mere port, just a basic file replace. We couldn't possobly get even everything working. Is there any way we could get the sources? Can you as an admin, ask UMi? We absolutely need the sources, we could offer so much for the sources.

The other guys who work on it want to offer the perfect CyanogenMod13, Blisspop, Resurrection Remix and even MIUI!

We don't have our own XDA subforum, I guess because of the lack of sources. Samsung offers source codes, and it's one if the biggest OEM's, atleast in Europe. UMi should release the source codes aswell..

Unfortunately that depends on MediaTek, not on UMi. You hardly can find the source code of any MTK SoC based phones.

Why keep using them then? There are now plenty of cheap alternatives like the Intel atom z3580 ect.

@bencebasci Can you ask for source code ?

Just like Elephone, UMI is blaming MediaTek. It's simple, MediaTek is in breach of the GPL of the linux kerne and the apache license android is licensed under. This has been going on for ages and it does not seem like MTK is going to change their policy anytime soon.

I don't understand how a nondisclosure can be valid on something that mediatek are legally obliged to release or why google does not step in and either force mediatek to release its sources or punish it over and over again until it does what its supposed to do on time or failing that edit their agreements and prevent mediatek from using android on its devices until it fulfills its obligations. It would oon change.

Company that use MTK obviously know about this....expecially after doing  the same experience on ALL previous mobile models..... today UMI can not say: "it is not my foult"!
