Xiaomi and AOKP Partner Up for MIUI 7

If you follow the mobile industry, you’re probably well aware that Android ROM developers like Cyanogen and Paranoid Android have been partnering with hardware manufacturers to bring to life atypical phones.

Well, AOKP doesn’t want to be left behind, so today the team has announced they partnered up with none other than Xiaomi to produce the next MIUI 7. The new iteration of MIUI will be based on the current Android 5.1 version and will be making its debut on the upcoming Xiaomi Mi5 flagship, as stated by AOKP. The new ROM is referred to internally as MiKangy and is expected to offer all the features that are available in Cyanogen, Paranoid Android and AOKP. MIUI 7 is made to sound pretty fantastic. The ROM will be designed to evolve side by side with the users and will allow each Mi 5 owner to have a unique experience with their phone.

Word on the street has it that the Xiaomi Mi 5 will arrive with a 5.2-inch display with QHD resolution (1440 x 2560 pixels) and a Snapdragon 805 under the hood. The phone will probably be rolled out during the fourth quarter of the year, so we still have some time to wait before it goes official.
