That's good to see, FINALLY! May I ask, what should we expect from update 5.0.2 compared to 5.0.1?

Between this and the GPE 5.1 I'm in great dilemma.

It's kinda hard to develop on stock roms because they are already so optimised and adding something will break another so I guess developers wanted to develop on a more open platform like CM or AOSP versus stock.

Understandable but cm and aosp to me are all the same... Same bugs same services the only good thing os for theming but even there they are similar... I kinda like the sony stock rom.. Wouldnt mind a debloated 5.0.2 with custom kernel support!! I guess a fella can still have hopes!!

Fully agreed, that I wish for!

Oh man still no updates?? i am very dependent on when this Lollipop ROM update will be sent. I just can't test my apps on Lollipop because of this!

I wish they did not release 5.0.1/2 and went for 5.1 instead. I've heard really lots of complaints about 5.0 and i am kinda worried.
I'm afraid we'll get a really late, half-assed rom update that introduces new issues without fixing the older ones, which they had plenty of time to fix... and after that it's gonna be "well, you got your 5.0 update, that's enough updates for a two year old phone... all the way from jelly-bean! wow... we're so good, updating the phone all the way from jelly bean to lollipop. So, there won't be another update. get a new phone."

AOSP Rom for Google Now

Looking for an AOSP rom I can use as a daily driver. Just saw that Google Now has been ported over for anyone running an AOSP ICS rom and I'd like to try it out. The roms I have seen for the Rezound all seem to have issues with data not working, etc. Are there any out there that are stable without major issues?
If not, I guess I will just have to be content waiting for a Sense based JB rom to come out. Something tells me I won't have to wait terribly long.
If you are having data issues then there is something going wrong when you flash. Are you s-on unlocked?
We do not have AOSP, yet. We are waiting for source to be released.
Whisper ROM coming soon.

Something tells me we won't get jelly bean soon.
Half of our devs left.
I have a feeling we'll have a AOSP by mid August or so.
There is a really good chance that at some point we'll see an official OTA to JB after ICS finally drops. The Rezound is less than 6 months old, still one of the high end phones in Verizon's lineup (for now) and it's just an incremental update. It's not like the jump from GB to ICS.

I know everyone is mad about the official ota taking forever but he might be right. The rezound is very capable of running jelly bean and this phone and the incredible 4g are the only high end htc phones on Verizon. The OG Incredible is still getting small updates for God sake. Let's not jump to conclusions that things are over for us rezound users just yet.

Still under a year old. I never quoted a time frame for JB, just said I imagine that we'll see a OTA at some point (I'd put my money on Q3 2013).

No need for ASOP for Google Now, just ICS. I have it running perfectly fine on CleanROM DE, minus the same no voice search issue everyone else is having. If you are running into no data problems, then you are running an older version of that port. The no data error was fixed

Rom development

Bought this tablet to build a bridge to the new Nexus 10.
I have had the new Asus Transformer tf701 but it's terrible bad. The tf700 was way better build.
But anyway... Why is the XDA community so small here?
I don't see custom Roms based on stock. Why is that? I don't like CM and don'twa nt to lose feature as remote control.
Are the stock roms that good they don't need development?
And the funny thing is that Sony encourage Rom development.
Yeah I've had my tablet for a bit now and I'm pretty happy with stock though some stock based rom would be great if anybody could make one

tell me what somebody could modify on a stock rom of this baby...It's perfect(i use cm because i like the latest and greatest but stock roms are perfect)
There is already a stock based ROM to be created, but it is being delayed. I'm the official tester (though not the one making it), and I'm waiting for it new stuff to test for weeks... Om going to contact the dev in the weekend to see the progress...

in relation to previous comments, i agree that stock 4.3 rom is good. it has a few bugs but i can live with it..
it's smooth and no lags.. games are excellent.. plus xposed framework for xperia is filling up some extra features..
themes are good.. that's my personal opinion,,,

I must agree in everything you all say. I underestimated the tablet Z. It's better than the tf700. And the looks and feel are very convenient.
Sony did a great job on this.
I am a bit of a flashoholic that's why I have asked.... But why change something when it's already good. And with xposed there is a lot of personal tweaks possible.
Never the less, would be great to try some custom stock Roms.
BTW is there a xposed mod to set the navigation bar to the left again? Still don't understand why they did that on a 10 inch tablet

Still trying to understand this. All these phones are getting ports but there are people saying we need a whole new kernel. Yet the bigger devs are supposedly already working on a port?
Jackpotclalvin got lollipop to boot on the Verizon g2! No ROM yet, but eventually its gonna happen. Be sure to thank him for his hard work too!

Yeah I don't know either, wish a Dev could explain this to me... The Optimum G has a mostly functioning Lollipop ROM according to a post I saw on G+ yesterday... Why would it be harder to build for us? Especially since so much of our hardware is similar to the Nexus 5...

You do not need a 5.0 kernel for the G2, older devices have newer versions of android w/o having the corresponding source. I'm using 4.4.4 on my Galaxy S1 just like my G2 (except the S1 obviously didn't receive 4.4.x).

[Q] Possibility of AOSP ROM

Hey all,
Not a request, just curious: What's the likelihood of a Lollipop AOSP ROM being developed for this device in the near future? Or is anyone currently considering making one once Lollipop drops for our device?
Been done already man. CM12.

CM12 is about as families as you can get right now. Almost nothing has been brought up from CM11. Even power menu has only Power Off option, nothing else.

Everything is working great and stable .I mentioned this coz we got cm build in just one and half month of release .

That's awesome. They're awesome.
I agree. ROMs will be coming. This device is still being tested so some folks are not free to go full tilt.
I truly hope that is the case, however one simply needs to look at other huawei xda forums on here to find plenty of evidence to the contrary. Maybe this one will be different though. It's off to a good start, but only time will tell.

Most of the huawei devices have the kirin processor in them, thus making development difficult.... Phones with sd processors were not bought that much because huawei didn't release their phones in USA..... But 5x not only has sd 616 but also is sold in usa.... So the we should see development for a long time.... Hopefully

No one is twisting your arm to use a phone with old software or old custom ROMs... either wait until Huawei drops the Marshmallow Kernel Sources and Drivers or kindly GTFO if all you want to do is complain.
