Yesterday Team Kang revealed that AOKP had been approached by Xiaomi to work on custom ROM’s for upcoming Xiaomi models.
Team Kang chose April Fools day to announce their partnership with Xiaomi, which is partly why we didn’t post the news when we initially read it. However, as there have been no updates with the usual “it was all a joke” added, it is possible that the news is genuine.
Apparently Xiaomi had approached Team Kang last year following OnePlus’ lead after working with Cyanogen and recently hiring the team behind Paranoid Android.
Gizchina News of the week
According to this blog post, Team Kang will be working on MIUI 7 based on Android 5.1 Lollipop, which will be released alongise the flagship Xiaomi Mi 5. This new version of the MIUI ROM said to be known by the codename MiKangy and will feature a “whole new take on the Android UX”.
We’re still not completely convinced that this is the real deal and are waiting for an official statement from Xiaomi on the matter.

finally some lollipop news , Xiaomi finally getting back to giving us custom software ,
Ahem how they started off ! and forgot about us MIUI users from 2011,
back then every month we’d get a brand new version and new awesome features ,
now it’s been 2 years since we got a major feature packed update.
Miui v4 was the last major update , everything else after that was just B.S botique update to improve the looks

“UPDATE : If you have not seen it through yet, gotcha!! Well this was an April Fools prank. It was fun trolling all you Kanglings, and best of all, it was fun getting some tech blogs to actually believe this was true. The ball rolled down so much the hill, that Xiaomi contacted us, and explicitly asked us to add this little clarification. :D”
Would have been awesome if true and team Kang imo deserve to get paid for their efforts..
