Hi everyone.
As we all know how popular the Xiaomi MI3 is, I was just wondering if there can be any possible Custom AOSP based rom for this device.
As we all know the Nexus 5 and Xiaomi MI3 have almost similar hardware would it be possible to port any nexus 5 roms to the MI3?
Agreed that Xiaomi doesn't release sources but is it possible to port something from nexus 5 due to similar hardware?
Simple answer is no. Without the kernel source code you can't get anything booting. Because they don't release the source code is the reason they have no forum and never will

Ohh I see. No point in having a forum if no source code is available.
By the way MIUI based custom roms can be developed right? Since they can use the stock kernel.

But Many ROMs have been ported for Mediatek to medaitek based devices without having kernel sources

That they have but without any kernel source that is the best you will get. Is a port that may have bugs that can't be fixed (that the Og ROM doesn't have) due to no source. Also no kernel options like gov or over clocking ect.

Varun chitre has already made an alpha build of cm11 for this device without the kernel sources.
And yeah Xiaomi will be releasing kernel sources later this year

Hey
Samsung finally gave in. They released the source code for SM-G900H.
Finally ! So we can now expect a lot of support and development from indie devs I hope
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=g900h
although, its kind of an older version G900HXXU1ANG3 and not ANJ1 or J2. Could that be an issue? Hope not
you just saved my g900h... I was going to sell it and buy HTC ONE or LG G2 just because of no rom and...
thankssssss
And One question... can we get custom lolipop too or it needs another source code...
By The Way custom kitkat is awsome too...
This is great news.
Just recently got an S5, and didnt know there was a Snapdragon and Exynos varient.
Unfortunately i got the Exynos varient so modding is super limited.
Hope this will help developers make some custom ROMS.
Im still waiting for lollipop, or a rom without the ugly Touchwiz would be nice.
Great news?
What are you on? Sources have been available since last April.

Kernel sources have been available for an eternity, I had them mirrored on my Github for 9 months... https://github.com/AndreiLux/ref-3.10/commits/universal5422
And Samsung usually puts up updated sources upon an OSS request in a few days.

I dont understand. This was the exact reason many devs stated for not making many roms for 900H.
Could it be that the kernal code ur talking about was an older one? Ur github says XXU1ANCI, the latest one is ANG3 or sth ? That the reason?
SM-G900H
version: G900HXXU1CPE6SM

Can you stop posting the same thing over and over again? It is getting a little annoying. There are no active developers for this phone as you can see in this forum. What is the point of having the kernel source when there is no developer interested in developing for this cheap China phone.
so i think

Anybody knows of good custom ROMS for a Xiaomi Mi Note Pro? Lollipop version?
We need the kernel sources first that Xiaomi still has not released.
But as soon as Xiaomi does the development will start... Just hope they the sources won't be released too late...
but there is a certainty that released the kernel sources?

Please search the forum before asking, there isnt exactly many threads to go through and this has been asked multiple times and has been answered multiple times.. Xiaomi will release Kernel Source once the phone is launched globally, at the moment it's just China.
Oops...ok I did not realize

What would it take for a developer to be able to release a Lineage/CM type ROM for this phone? Do you guys think it is a possibility in the near future or will this never happen?

Source code for starters is probably helpful, and that might take a while with xiaomi....

I've experienced that with the Mi5, Cyanogenmod builds came very quickly after Xiaomi released the kernel sources. I'm also waiting for them, this device would be so much better with Lineage OS, or anything other than a MIUI rom, although the EPIC rom is getting fairly close
You can follow the official github for xiaomi devices here: https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource
Mi5 owners also did a petition though, asking Xiaomi to release the kernel sources for the mi5, maybe we should do the same for the MIX ?

Right but its not a true build. It's using the sources that were released for the Mi5s.
Guys sign the below link for petition for santoni kernel sources must be released https://www.change.org/p/xiaomi-dev...m_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition
Plz sign the petition if you guys want that the kernel sources must be released.
If kernel sources aren't released yet, how is it possible that there are some custom ROMs already out there?

Dude without kernel sources the devs cannot build or modify custom kernels. Else it has nothing to do with roms as the rom sources are ported from lineage or aosp sources and modified accordingly. without kernel sources there isn't much room for kernel optimisation and modification for better performance or battery as the devs have to use the stock kernel of the device.
So those custom ROMs are using the stock kernel, copied from the original MIUI ROMs?

Yeah with few optimizations and changes.
Xiaomi / every android manufacturer has to release the kernel sources anyway, right? Is there an ETA, or how long does it usually take for a xiaomi device for the sources being released? I am considering buying this phone.
2nd question: rooting or unlocking bootloader goes with the manufacturer's page right? I checked it out and it was in chinese, me as an english user, will i manage to get the phone unlocked?
Petition is signed anyway. I also contacted the global service through mail asking about the REDMI4X32_GLB_BLK kernel source release. Will keep you updated if I get a response
Edit: I just ordered a moto g5 but will keep u updated if I should get any info from xiaomi support.
Edit2: Reply from the Xiaomi team:

You may refer our Official Website http://www.mi.com/en/ and Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/xiaomiglobal for more information.
Should you have any further queries, feel free to write back to us. We'll be glad to assist you further.
