Is there any future of ROM development for Redmi 4X(santoni) ? - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

Searching the whole Redmi 4x a.k.a Redmi 4(India) thread on XDA I came up to know that xiaomi has not released kernel sources yet. I was looking forward to buy this device but looking at the lazy response from manufacturer I doubt the development and getting it. Share your thoughts and suggestion down below. Should I get this device or get Lenovo zuk Z2 plus which is available around the same price ?

I'm waiting for a deal to get one for my mom. I'm happy so far with my Note 4X (SD 625) which I'm running with Resurrection Remix, so I think a slighty downsized and down-specced version would be great for her. If there is no custom firmware in the near future, she'll be fine. I wouldn't wanna miss LOS or RR on my phone, but MIUI isn't bad for lots of people.

There are already a few custom ROMs for RM4X like yurekaOS based on nougat 7.1.2 and as i read in forums it seems to be running ok for the most users.
Still i wouldn't expect too much in custom development. see RM3S for example. there are ROMs available but development goes slow
So if you are no friend of MIUI (and upcoming MIUI 9) and want lot of custom development then you might consider buying another phone.

Hi,
any plans for CM 13.1 or Lineage equivalent for Redmi Note 4X Qualcomm not built on nougat?
Need Android 6 as 7+ doesn't allow for USB bus speed auto-negotiation, which is "kinda" big deal in my application.
Thanks for input

[Q] Xiaomi Redmi 4X (santoni) development

Hello,
what is needed/whate are we waiting for until the Redmi 4X custom ROMs come out? I found some LineageOS and one other unofficial ROMs but I don't trust stuff outta xda so I'm too afraid try them.
Thanks
PS: There are the links:

mod edit - off-site download links removed
The unofficial lineage versions contain two chinese apps with access to usage statistics. They disappear after disabling the access. It's nevertheless a little bit dangerous. I use this redmi 4x as a PirateBox host, so it's not a problem for me. The Lineage build is working good, finger print sensor is working, camera is functional.
Hello,
is it possible to flash the baseband from Xiaomi Redmi 4X with band 20 (global variant?) to other Xiaomi Redmi 4X with 3MB 32GB as root with any tool to get band 20 ?
Is there any flashing tool of basebands for Xiaomi devices at all ?
hello

I flashed it with TWRP. Have you first wiped the phone?
Hi everyone,
are there any news on this?
I got my 4X yesterday and I've been looking for a good custom ROM but can't seem to find any except for that one with the chinese bloatware.
kinda hard to find good rom. so much stuff on the internet now days
Finally found something on a Russian site. It's all in Russian which is why you can't find it on Google...
They have inofficial builds of LineageOS (and some other ROMs as well) for the Redmi 4X.
I'm using it right now and there are no issues. Everything works smoothly, no signs of bloatware. Can recommend to try it. :good:

It's great. Used it a lot yesterday (2,5h screen-on time) and still had 50% left in the evening.
I can't comment on how it compares to MIUI though, haven't used it enough for that.

I have tried the LOS13 v1 and indeed the most things working smooth.
Only annoying is the the lack of a fix for the (further good working) gps. I am not sure if this has influence on draining the battery.
On the same site you can find also Mokee, Flyme and some derivates of Miui
I for now run the rom of Mi-Globe rom, based on the latest Xiaomi.eu version with some extra features and debloated Mi stuff
I am very satisfied with this Nougat rom. With a custom launcher I can live with the Miui base
4pda talks are banned here.
Also this is a known issue with those device and many that run on cm. The GPS, BT, and wifi have been buggy for years and they never bother to fix it.
do you have Root app for Redmi 4x?
Anybody have Root app for Xiaomi Redmi 4x, please share with me, thanks

Thanks for pointing to this. Edit my post
I think that Miui (and debloated derivates) is the best choice for now, that has the least issues

The official Global beta 7.6.22 has two versions, MM 6.0 and N 7.1.
Xiaomi eu has adapted the 7.1 version for the Europese customers
Latest weekly release is v7.6.29 .
With Mi-globe you can strip and add (like root) some things on this EU rom
Everyting works as expected, but personal I don't prefer Miui

You need to have unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP, then go to Magisk thread here on XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 and download the zip here and flash it from TWRP. Now you have MagiskRoot and also ability to install systemless packages (read the description, it's the single most cool thing we ever got for Android apart from Xposed).
Do not install SuperSU, as it would probably break the MTP - although for some people apparently modifying build.prop worked, for me it didn't.

No Custom Rom for Mi 8 SE ?

Why isn't there any custom rom development for the Mi 8 SE? I really wanted to buy this phone for the amazing design & hardware in this price but don't like MIUI that much
So, is there any possibility of rom development for this phone in future?

I believe is should be ''yes" rom based on AOSP or LineageOS..etc
you mean that so? someone will make that thing for it. cuz source kernel for it is ready and released, many user xda or miui 4rum using this device.
But, one very important thing "Trebel running as well on almost devices and mi8se is also supported by this project and using some rom in the project treble, running quite stable and less bugs''.
So many one users mi8se here, there are a lot of reasons to believe this. it will comming soon , just patience to waiting.

You've posted your query in wrong section this is Redmi 4X and you are asking about Redmi note 4X.
Anyways for most of users Lineage OS and Havoc OS are proffered choice for various devices, i would suggest you to look into Redmi note 4X section for details so that you can decide which ROM you want to install. besides that there are several other ROMs are known for stability and their features so kindly look for those too in Redmi note 4X section. since i don't have this device i cant suggest you one particular ROM.

Is there a Pixel Rom for my Redmi Note 9

Hi, what's the use of gsi? srry I'm new on this
Very rough said.
Stock ROM is from redmi factory.
Custom ROM is from outside the android community ROM based on you're model red mi.
Gsi ROM open source android basically all android from 8,9,10,11.
Biggest problem not a hot selling brand this phone.So custom ROM will take a long time if it ever should come out.
Gsi is not specified to this model so expect bugs,fails.Things most said volte,light sensor,VoIP.
I can't help you with what ROM to choice because I didn't change the ROM that much.
Just a little tip this year the redmi army.Is most likely rolling out android 11 and later on half way this year miui 13.

Ohhh ok thanks
I suggest you to keep on stock rom firmware only.
Root it with magisk. Flash it with twrp.
And everything is fine.

Question Will This One Get Custom Rom Support

So hey rom developers and other modders in xda, my question is that I liked the poco m3 pro or the redmi note 10 5g. This came at an intresting price and I like to buy this one. My question is that is this one will get the developers eye or will this one get any custom rom support. Generally number of roms is less for mediatek phones. I want to buy this and my concerns are custom roms. So will i get some custom roms or a custom recovery for this one.....
Please answer my question. Thanks in advance. Sorry about my grammar if any mistakes are there
I may not be an developer but from the point of view over the past years it should be more then certain, that phones which does have a MTK processor are not going in the pleasure to enjoy custom ROM's. The reason for that is, that in order to develop a custom ROM the source code for the device (processor) has to made public in order to start active development of an custom ROM. Over the past few years MTK did not release much source code like their competitor Qualcomm does.
So at this point I would highly doubt any kind of active custom ROM development for this device or other devices which are based on the some platform. So if POCO or Xiaomi decide that the time hast come for the POCO M3 Pro to go EOL (END OF LIFE) status, then this also means, that you are stock with the last ROM version from the brand.
In order to enjoy or get at least in the field of custom ROM's, it is more as recommended to get an device which an Qualcomm processor. With this you can also use your device after the EOL status.
well at least we can now root the Redmi Note 10 5G

I know nothing about custom rom development, but what you linked is for redmi note 10, it's a different phone with snapdragon.

No, it's based on mediatek chipset. "Camellia" codename is refer to redmi note 10 5G. I know it makes us confused because xiaomi doesn't even make a different model name (same as redmi note 10 pro (4G) and redmi note 10 pro 5G) on their source code. The snapdragon based (4G version) was already have it's own kernel source with "mojito" codename
