Part of 2026 guides.

This is the update I would send a friend rather than film properly. Coding,

Python and the custom ROM work are all still going. Nothing has been abandoned,

and nothing has a launch date either.

If you have been waiting to hear what is happening, that is the honest version.

Things are spread across a few projects at once, so I am not going to throw out

dates I cannot keep.

What is actually running

• The Python side. Ongoing. This is the part that does the quiet work

behind everything else, from file handling to the release packaging.

• The tool website. Still in progress. Layout, tool writes and the download

pages all take longer than they look from the outside.

• Custom ROM work. Carrying on at the same pace, with new builds tested on

real hardware rather than sitting in a folder.

• Coding in general. The glue. When one of the other three stalls, this is

usually why.

What is not in this clip

No flashing. No file walkthrough. No install steps, no downloads opened, no

device on the desk. If you came here to flash something today, this is not the

video that will get you there, and pretending otherwise would waste your time.

Why no dates

Because I have watched what happens when people promise a date and miss it. You

get a comment asking where the file is, then another one, then people assume the

project died. Better to say it is moving and show you when it lands.

The website work and the ROM work run side by side. Coding keeps the rest glued

together. When there is something you can download and use, it will get a proper

video with the steps on screen, not a status note.

What you can do while you wait

If you are keen to flash something now, you do not need to wait for any of this.

The free Rom Flasher tool and the ADB and fastboot files are already available in

the downloads listed with this video, and they are the same ones I use.

A few things worth doing before your next flash, whatever build you pick:

• Back up. Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone, and so does a clean

flash. Get your photos and files off the device first.

• Check the model. A build for a different variant will flash happily and

then refuse to boot. Match it exactly.

• Read the install notes twice. Small details like a required format step or

a specific recovery version are where most dead phones come from.

• Keep your files handy. Once you have the platform tools and the driver, you

are set for every flash after this one.

That is the whole update. Short, no promises, and the work continues.

Full description from the video

Quick update. Coding, Python and the custom ROM work are all still moving — nothing got dropped.

🎬 In This Clip

• A fast status check on what's running right now
• Python side and the tool website are both still in progress
• Custom ROM work is carrying on at the same pace
• No flashing, no files — this one is only the update

If you've been waiting to hear what's happening, this is the honest picture. Things are spread across a few projects at once, so I'm not throwing out fake dates. The website work and the ROM work run side by side, and coding keeps the rest of it glued together. That's it — short and straight.
