Any Xda/Android Devs here ? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

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

[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

Have Kernel Sources Been Fully Released For The Xiaomi Mi3 & Mi4 ?

If not is this the reason why the majority of Lollipop roms for the Mi3 & Mi4 are buggy etc ?
As far as i know, the kernel has been released but partially. Some drivers (modules) has not.
Sounds about right. Thats a shame though. I hope this is rectified for future Xiaomi devices, because so far Cancro devices have had alot of roms showing up on XDA.
I dont think xiaomi will release this kind of things because their goal is make you buy a new phone.. we should skip buying xiaomi devices..
is this the reason devs are facing problem is building a Stable Lollipop ?

Kernel sources for mi8 (dipper) ?

Hey all,
can someone tell me if there are any kernel sources released for Mi8 (dipper) version ?
IF not are theere any release dates or something like that ?
I'm trying to build my Rom Havoc-OS and the only thing i need is the kernel now... but i cant find it.
I hope someone can help
As far as i've seen, they haven't been released yet., only for the SE version...
As @bcuraman wrote, it's not released yet, only SE. I'm waiting for your rom.
Should be available here when released, https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/dipper-o-oss
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/issues/927
Please thumbs up and post to show support to getting sources released!
I guess its been released an hour ago and you can build the rom:good:

Question Lineage OS

Just a question for the future. Are there custom roms like Lineage OS coming for Mi 11 Ultra?
Probably just a matter of time....
It's available for most of the earlier devices already: https://www.cyanogenmods.org/lineageos-18-mi-10-pro/
I don't think it will show up anytime soon...
When I got MiNote10, it was one of few phones with new 108MP camera sensor, developers had bad time trying to find drivers, or do anything to be able to use camera, as Xiaomi release only part of source code for this phone. As for now, there is no official LOS for MiNote10, just UNOFFICIAL, and the phone was released around November 2019 ?
MI11 Ultra also have new camera sensor GN2, display on the back, new chipset, I wish to see LOS or other custom ROM, but I know how hard is to build custom ROM for new hardware if you don't have drivers/source code.. Only hope in Xiaomi if they release complete source code needed to build ROM.
We'll have to wait for the popularity of this phone to go up first. Might take a while. But with miui12.5 being the crap fest that it is right now... I hope we don't have to wait too long for an aosp based ROM to come out
I would voluteer for testing... anything is better than this miui crap. So, anyone, please DM me, if you need a tester.
And put TWRP on the list. I might suffer from a good old fashioned paranoia, but kind if don't trust the current distributions of TWRP for the MI11U.
