To answer all your questions here in MM3 forum go and check MM1 or 2 forums. Poor delivery of promised updates from Xiaomi and delayed or no sources released is a real good way to help the development...
Xiaomi should learn from other OEMs how they treat there uses. Hell 15 days to unlock bootloaders and you are talking about development.

Even I had used the same account to unlock my MM2 the one I used for my MM1 it took 7 days. The height was when I requested to unlock my friends phone using my mi account. I need to purchase a VPN which aupported Chinese server because I kept getting errors. After 3 days it took the request to unlock and the I received the message to wait for 2 weeks. Please check MIUI form unless they have changed the process in the last 2-3 months its 15 days.
You might be comfortable using MIUi but not everyone shares the same option. Also the OP is talking about custom rom development.

No bro. Don't be sorry. Why should we users argue for something Xiaomi is doing. It's all cool. Just wanted the users to know how Xiaomi treats there users. If you posting anything like this there forum there mods just ban you for like a month or permanently. So no free speech there. I was banned there for a month because I said the truth. So hope you understand.

Yeah..we know..but it took long time for mi max 2 to developed (because xiaomi)..
Just hope they dont mess this time..
Really interested in the max 3 hardware wise, but I'm using mix 2s now which came out around the same time as oneplus 6 and mix 2s has almost no scene while 1+ already have tons of custom roms.
And I can't stand MIUI, so resorted GSI rom, thanks to treble, which can't take advantage of the dual lens cam.
So..

Hello everyone.
As you may know, Xiaomi decided to lock their devices bootloader in the latest updates.
I, as a Redmi Note 3 owner, had the bad luck of already having the bootloader locked ever since i powered up the phone.
As a result of this (silly) Xiaomi's strategy, many users are turned away from Xiaomi.
The bootloader unlocking proccess has many frustrated and some even infuriated. (I'm both!)
So... I made a poll, to request Xiaomi to unlock our bootloader.
Please take a minute or two, to vote in Miui's forum poll and to write a comment, if you feel the need.
Thank you.
Xiaomi Unlock our Bootloader! [POLL]

Begging?? That's a strong word. No dear friend, i'm not begging, and i'm hardly a child. Chose your words more carefuly next time.
They said billions times that they won't do it. So billions and first time it's begging. Read carefully their topics on main forum..

Good. Maybe my English is not perfect, but at least i understood what they said... :angel::angel:
I don't think it will do any harm to let Xiaomi know customers are unhappy; I wouldn't have bought the phone if I had known the bootloader would be locked. There was no indication of this in reviews when the phone was released.
I suggest you to make a petition to change the global members making it easy to share with the people in the world imo
It's only a question of time until somone will leak the unlocking code Or crack the locking mechanism.
It is just a challenge for our developers...
Bad news; the project on MIUI forum for developing Cyanogenmod 12.1 for the Redmi Note 3 has been abandoned.
I just get one RN3
Frustrated....................................they Lock the bootloader
I wont bought one IF I knew
Lets start a counter in this forum and let devs know about popularity of this device so we can get good AOSP rom etc as fast as possible!
"+1" from my side

Really pointless thread. If you've followed any of the other AOSP request threads, you'll know that it's a very complicated and involved task. Amassing "+1" posts isn't going to motivate anyone more to take on such a task.
On a more personal note, I don't know why someone would buy a device like the Note 8 just to strip it of all of its features. Personally, I bought my device because of all the features Samsung has put on it. I wouldn't put AOSP on this, likely even if someone paid me, because it would defeat the purpose of having this device in the first place.

We all have different opinions and preferences, so I think we all belong here. Of course support for devs is always welcome, but a +1 thread may not be the most effective way to go about getting what you want...They can already see the view count on aosp-related threads after all. Maybe try reaching out directly instead.

Well, devs, I think, try to develop roms to attain a better experience, adding some features, taking out some not very popular ones, in general to make the overall performance better, as Max Terrible here stated, buying a note series device to strip it down of ALL the features that make it what it is, in my opinion, is pointless, to that effect, you should get a pixel device, clean pure android out of the box

Do explain to me how having a thread full of people posting +1 to try and convince a dev to make an AOSP ROM, is considered supporting the dev?
I definitely support the devs and the great work they do on here, but recruiting a mob to basically create a petition for someone to do something you want, is not what I define as support.
I assure you, any and all devs working on the Note 8 are aware of the very, very small group of people that want an AOSP ROM.

There would be lot of people who dont upgrade mobile regularly (may be 6 months) some upgrade after 2 years. And u might be knowing samsung way of updates so aosp rom etc is very help to have a taste of latest updates. I know only note special things wont be working but many extra things u will get in these roms. Till now we are not able to use gcams! This shows development for this rom. Intent of this thread was to see popularity of this device and let dev see the demand:laugh:
Thanks for +1 people! Lets go guys!!

Going now! Oops not released yet
I will happily donate a few bucks for their hardwork. I used develop ROMS here when I had no job
Too early to tell, the device hasn't been released for a month and is only restricted to China. Even if someone is doing it now, it's probably under private wraps.
TingyiChen, a Chinese dev renowned for bringing up / maintaining a bunch of Xiaomi devices, has just created placeholder repos for this device. That's the only related info I know of right now.
As one of my other thread goes, you can try various GSIs and see if you can live with the bugs. That is, if Xiaomi doesn't enforce a week/month-long BL unlock waiting period on you...

I got a week long BL unlock for the first time in 4 xiaomi phones. I can't wait to flash Xiaomi.eu or a GSI to get rid of the chinese apps and mi store being the default playstore really plays with me.

Ya I have 7days of wait time before unlocking.

Hi,
I'm just curious as why the mate 20 pro lacks such development
Are you speaking about custom ROM?
If yes it is simply because Huawei doesn't release any source code and it is hard to unlock bootloader etc so obviously it is really hard for developers to do something with that....

I never understand folks who buy Huawei products expecting rom development. Huawei made their stand awhile ago.
It's simple stuff. Buy pixel, OnePlus, xiaomi etc if you want amazing dev support.
Why people want to use custom ROM on an amazing phone and limit themselves from using most banking apps?

Well you don't limit yourself if you use proper tools like magisk hide
People that want to customise a rom, or even know what is a ROM is potentially maybe, if I am generous, 0.1% of the potential phone market.
Huawei has the best stance, business wise. Why waste time and ressources to release codes for a minority of people that will barely impact your bottom line.
Despite the US ban this year, they are growing 24%, so my guess is they are fairly happy with their current situation, and won't miss 2-3 nerds on XDA wanting to change their phone from the inside out.

Not receiving push notifications is fatal... I think too
Probably an optimization for the game, but it's not necessary.
However, I like the hardware very much.
Fastboot ROM source code will probably not be released as it is.

Kernel will not be released, at least for while you're alive.
I'm hating all of this so much, a simple file, they have to upload a single file, and after 26-27 days nothing to be seen. This is not the only issue, there is another one with the same answer. It is as if air came out of thei mouths
Im trying to ask myself why still they haven't upload the kernel source yet? There's so much hardware potential on the phone being hold back just waiting to get unleashed .
Hoping they'll released it this year together with others 865 devices

This is an LOL! If the LEADERS STRATEGY is to increase the sales, then releasing the kernel sources will definitely attracts more users because of the phone's development potential will increase by 10 folds.

I see. Thanks for doing that. Hmmm this is frustrating and disappointing. I wish there's a link where someone can truly help us report them coz its hard to think I'll be spending my months with a closed source device. It's fine if they're consistent on the security patches and ota s, but thats not been the case. I'd be willing to take a 3rd of my money back as a refund FAK I WILL NOT BUY ANY BLACKSHARK PHONE AGAIN EVER.
The question here is whether there is a person named Jason.
I also contacted Global Support twice, and Jason took care of it all.
Only distrust remains.
Took it to Xiaomi's github aswell, let's see if we can get an answer.
Blackshark 2/3/3s/3pro Kernel source · Issue #2191 · MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource
Will the kernel source for the Xiaomi Blackshark 3 be released soon? I did some research about promises from Blackshark/Xiaomi and i'm really worried! Sources for Blackshark 2 were promised but NEV...

Kernel! Kernel! Kernel! Custom Roms! Ahhhhhh! Kill me pls
I'm not sure but back on those days of Android 2.3.4, I used to successfully crossed ports official OEM firmwares from other devices with similar CPU/GPU. All that it need back then was a custom recovery of the port's recipient and a backup of the firmware we trying to port. I stopped playing around with my phones these passed few years, so I'm wondering if we could do that as well to the recent Android versions? I believed we have similar SOC/Android versions phones that's currently active in development. We already got custom recovery anyways.
