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.

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.
Slowly new custom roms are fading in for the spes/spesn redmi note 11 and now there finally is its own forum here.
A custom rom without Google and its services is still missing among these roms.
Hit a post here if you find some de-googled custom roms, will do the same.
Peace
Update 08.07.2022:
The lack of de-googled official roms seems to come from the fact that xiaomi did not yet open source the kernel source code for the spes/spesn devices. https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource
Update 01.08.2022
I'm leaving this spes/spesn and will try to get a device where the OEM is more cooperative with opening their source code. There will be no further updates from me in this Thread.
Make sure to drop new information here, since there are and will be quite some people wanting official custom roms without google.

There is LineageOS unofficial.

Please join Telegram too for all the ROM updates!
Spark OS is also without gapps (vanilla version). Currently I am using LeOS (GSI). Its ungoogled by default and works well.
Tried Lineage OS linked in this thread , I cant install gapps ,can anyone do a build with gapps.

LineageOS or CalyxOS

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#xiaomi The spes/spesn devices are currently not officially supported by LineageOs
https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/device-support/ The same goes for CalyxOS
Again, this is probably due to the source kernel not being released to the public by Xiaomi.
I'm leaving this spes/spesn and will try to get a device where the OEM is more cooperative with opening their source code. There will be no further updates from me in this Thread.

I don't understand
Have you looked at the Telegram group? A lot of development seems to bypass xda these days. That slightly worries me as the ROMs are all unofficial and I'm always worried what might get added - surprising we don't get ROM based malware more often. At least here reputation is long term so that seems less of a risk.

Yes, I'm up to date on telegram, that's why I ask, they are all unofficial custom roms or ports and I don't understand why no dev team works on official roms

I wish I knew - staying on MIUI until there's something official, ideally crDroid, Lineage or similar long term projects.
To avoid any errors of judgement:
Official ROM maintainers are not supposed to make changes to the source. So, they are not likely to fix any bug which is related to the source. Meanwhile, unofficial ROM maintainers are not having any restrictions. They are free to make any changes to the source to suit their needs. So, the unofficial maintainers often fix source-related bugs before the official one.

That's how I understand it, and having that level of code review in the official builds is what almost guarantees you can trust a ROM with your banking etc. I haven't actually heard of any unofficial ROM being naughty, but there's nothing to stop it.

For having used with several devices, several official or unofficial roms over several years, I have never had a problem with banking apps (for those who support them, of course).
Note that when there are no more brand updates, the developers are obliged to modify the source to continue to develop the rom.
XDA is a trustworthy source, for others I don't know.
And following that explanation...why are there other low-priced xiaomi models and also old models that have many official roms here on xda? I am very concerned that we have many unofficial aosp roms on telegram and here on xda absolutely none. Why do the devs of this model never publish on xda and other xiaomi models do? That doesn't give me confidence and I still don't understand

And because Xiaomi is incompetent in terms of releasing Kernel Source

Xiaomi 11T Pro codename vili Kernel is still stuck on Android 11 meanwhile we are expecting Android 13 soon.
Many devices are missing there and also lack of kernel update.
Just wondering if someone have or know how to make
Sailfish OS work on this phone.ā
Thanks

Bro its not possible on this phone as the kernel source has not been released by xiaomi yet.
Xiaomi uses GPL like it's toilet paper. Because of this, almost one year after the device's release we don't have source code available yet. Fortunately available custom Android-based ROMs work because the chipset is kinda popular, but there's no WIP for a Sailfish OS port.
