Vibe x3 has an unofficial CM release.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gene...ndian-t3405875
The OP in that forum said that there is an update in the works.

What about the LG Fx0?
I know there is CM out for it (with a few bugs):
CyanogenMod 11.0/KitKat for LG Fx0
This phone is pretty inexpensive
as it goes for $60 on Amazon, Unlocked..Opinions?

If I didn't have this [Fairphone2] phone, I'd get a oneplus 3 on the grounds that it's likely to get decent CM ports in the future and the 6GB RAM, while overkill for normal use, would be useful for compiling software on the device and that kind of thing.

Well I can suggest you not to get a Nexus 6P.. It's way too big and the build quality is so-so.. I've got one since last November and I regret it already..

Does an open source kernel guarantee that libhybris will work perfectly? Sounds legit, but not sure if it's true...

Open source for the kernel is essential but unless you have a full android build tree for it is quite difficult to implement the HAL needed for SFOS to operate with all features.
It is possible but you'd have to do a lot of work yourself to make it happen.
Libhybris as it exists implements the HAL on top of the android driver layer which normally is taken from an existing CM release for the device. All the stemps to build it are fairly well automated and documented which means it is doable without deep knowledge of the devices innards.

And an open source kernel + an official CM release?
