There now seems to be an Aug-11-2016 version of this firmware (for N96) on the Chinese site. Will you be able to make that available? Also, do you know if there is still plans to develop 4.4 or 5.x version for N96?

I have both the i86ML and N96ML and enjoy both of these devices. I am using the 4.4 firmware on my i86 and wish it was also available for the N96. Even with the bugs, I still prefer the 4.4 version.

Thank you and I appreciate all of your support efforts.

I'm not any sort of android expert, however in my experience 4.4 is more compatible with latest apps, however the biggest advantage I see is in the way memory is handled. 4.0 makes internal memory separate areas for apps and data with no ability to adjust. You soon run out of app space and move 2 sd card is not supported by all apps.

4.4 treats all internal memory as app and data space, so no need to do as much moving apps to sd card. In my case I like to use my sd card for content only and keep my apps on the device internal memory.

That being said, I only ran into app storage issues on my i86. I think the n96 has some sort of work-around or this was fixed in later 4.0 versions, as the stock android 4.0.4 seems to not have the separate spaces for apps and data, although I'd still like a more up to date android version.
