Better wait since android L is not so bad after all...maybe just a liitle laggy but this is something I can live with....besides that is very stable and battery friendly. Thanks and have a nice day.

Maybe in the next future they will release it....i hope.....but still wondering what can go wrong if I flash MM official firmware for different model like a510f...the phone will explode or what :)) ?....just wondering isn't it the same phone with the same built the same buttons and all, but just different model numbers for different markets. Why must they complicate things with all these different numbers for the same exact phone....why ?! Is not like i wont to put s6 firmware in a5(6) phone...just a5 firmware in a5 phone...any clue?
