The hardware is either certified or it isn't; the distro (as in custom ROM version) isn't a factor.

- mehrdadn 9y agoOhh, interesting, okay thank you. In that case is there a list for the certified phones? EDIT: Actually, wait, are you sure this is correct? Didn't the article say "Users of custom Android ROMs—which wipe out the stock software and load a modified version of Android—will start seeing this message, too"? I was trying to figure out which ROMs that included.

- mehrdadn 9y agoHm, then what was that story about Xiaomi? It's listed there as a certified partner.
- morsch 9y agoXiaomi has started releasing Google certified hardware late last year[1][2]. AFAIK they still release non-certified hardware as well.
