[News] [Kernel Sources] Update on releasing kernel sources for Mi phones in India
SEE HERE
Mi fans,
Hugo and I wanted to provide an update on releasing Mi kernel sources, as this is a question we get very often. I can personally guarantee that we will release the Mi 3 kernel source within Q1 2015, and will also be releasing the Redmi 1S kernel source in December 2014.
The reason we have not shared kernel sources yet is actually quite simple. Hugo explained this at the press conference in India last week. The kernel source code for these devices contains a significant amount of source code that will be used in two upcoming models. If we release the kernel source in its current state, we will be revealing more than we would like to about future devices. We will change this going forward, but right now it is a constraint we have to live with. We hope you can understand this position, and we're very sorry for the frustration we may have caused!
Thanks for your support, and please keep the feedback coming. We are always looking to improve, and we promise we will do better in the future!
Cheers,
Donovan & Hugo

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

thanks bro, i wait for this ..
i'm try to compile from MiCode source, but give annoying error, compiler said some file .h not found but i check that file is already -_-
i am very confusing times with the talks
some of the dev said lineage team will deliver lithium rom when device hits the android 7.0 update
sooo can we build a aosp marshmellow rom or ve stay awake for the xiaomi to release the kernel for mix?
there is nothing at all to be confused about. if there is no source code released there will be no AOSP. we should be bugging Xiaomi for the source, if that was out we'd have AOSP roms already.
probably best to make a thread on the MIUI forums to urge them to release source

here is your link http://en.miui.com/thread-539978-1-1.html
MIUI is not open source.
If you want an open source OS, do not buy a xiaomi device.
Xiaomi does not release the source code, even if they use as base the android code which is open source (this is permitted by the Apache license).
They don't even release the code of the modified kernel, even if they are obliged by the GNU GPL licence of linux.
Does it mean we get never lineage or resurrection Rom,?

someday perhaps, it may though take some time
Unless Xiaomi release Mi Mix internationally, I don't see this happening anytime soon. The relatively small user base doesn't help either.
The Mi Pad source was only released three years after release, to give you an idea.
Like most Mix owners, I love the phone but hated its software. MIUI is just not for users outside of China.
This is my first Xiaomi phone and will probably be my last. Will either go for Google phones or OnePlus.

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:
Greetings from Xiaomi!
Thank you for writing us. I will be glad to assist you.
I understand that you wish to know regarding the release of Kernel source. I would like to inform you that as of now we do not have any such update and provisions regarding the launch of Kernel source for the Redmi 4X, so we would not be able to guide you regarding the same and the reason behind its non-release. 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.
Thank you for being a valued customer. Have a great day ahead!

Still no response?
Since we got our own section now, will we be getting officially supported LineageOS ROM?
Are there any chances or we are on our own?
Without kernel sources, I doubt it.
AFAIK, Xiaomi hasn't released kernel sources for lots of new devices which is a violation of GPL licence. I don't know why they are not releasing kernel for a device that is released last year. Damn!
Hey all,
i would like to know if we have some known XDA/Android/Rom/Kernel developers here ?
I'm wondering if the Mi8 (dipper) development will ever start ... and it seems like Xiaomi itself doesn't really want custom development on the Mi8.
They directly releases Kernel sources for SE and the new Poco F1 within some days ... and the Mi8 was released in June and its nearly september and still no news or kernel releases
