Database Develop

Is there any future of ROM development for Redmi 4X(santoni) ?

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

You are asking for "Mido" not for Redmi 4X "Santoni"

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

It will, because this device already have a kernel source

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

Question I'm Lost...

I bought the xiaomi redmi note 5g, and I am looking for custom recovery and they are all for the mojito version ... I have camellian. I don't know if you can put the TWRP of the mojito in the camellian ... Also I looked for official ROMs to update the mobile, none of them match the name that is in the version that I have installed:
MIUIGlobal12.0.3StableRKSEOUR
Model: M1203K196
Sorry if there is already a topic on this, but I am completely lost.
Thanks for the help.
Greetings!

I also recently got this handset as a bargain back up device. Only cost me €70 unlocked.
I believe there aren't any roms specific to this handset yet, as the kernel sources haven't been released yet. There are GSI roms, but I haven't looked into them too much, as I wanted a reliable daily driver.

no custom rom rom, only gsi. the twrp have toch screen not working. needs otg or twrp manager for pc. but for gsi installation fastboot is suggested. with stock recovery. the future of xiaomi modding are the gsi. also the new redmi note 11 serie come out with mtk processor.. so i'm quite sue that treble project will be the new frontier for xioni devices

Question Any developer working on a custom ROM for 10R? 😅

I know it's too soon to ask this question but still I wonder. Also, I know since this is a MediaTek device possibility of getting a stable custom ROM is next to impossible.
(For those who aren't aware, Nord 2 is also a MediaTek device and it has few very stable ROMs).
I hope we get some good developers who can develop atleast few AOSP custom ROM.
Cheers!!

Anyone?

Looks like the combination of <India Only + MediaTek + Overshadow by 10 Pro & 10T + Moving from OOS to ColorOS> killed this phone.
Sad that I'll be on stock ROM till I get frustrated and buy a new non-OnePlus phone.

Exactly! I am already looking for a better device with good development and is upgrade worthy.

OnePlus 10R is the indian version with ColorOS. OnePlus Ace is the global version with OOS and all 5G bands

I think you are saying the opposite
10R - Indian - with OxygenOS
Ace - Chinese - with ColorOS

I can't really speak for the indian version, but I've bought Ace global version and it's OxygenOS + all 5G bands. However, in the About section of the phone it says OnePlus 10R 5G, even though everything else in the box refers to the phone as OnePlus Ace. A little confusing, but it's essentialy the same phone, just differents roms I guess?

I guess you have imported the phone. What the seller do is they flash OxygenOS (10R's firmware) on Chinese OnePlus Ace and sell.

Device is very disappointing one, it my first and last one plus device.

Following are under development for 10R, that I am aware of,
TWRP
LOS recovery/fastboot
LOS Custom ROM.
But don't ask for ETA, Devs are trying their best considering they have exams and they are not getting any help from other experienced(in MediaTek device) Devs.
OnePlus is technically dead. Oppo not releasing unbrick tool is one of the major contributor.

Question Why are there many codenames for the Redmi 9T ?

I tried installing custom roms but I failed everytime and reinstalled the stock MIUI rom. But I might have found the issue. When I use adb, he says that my phone has the "lemon" codename. When I go the the havoc-os website, I find that the rom for my phone has the "juice" codename. By going into another custom rom website, I get other codenames, "juice" and "chime". That's why I'm here to ask some questions :
Why are there many codenames for my phone ? (maybe that's because I bought it in EU but I think he has the same components as the other ones, but IDK)
Is there a way to install "chime", "lime" or "juice" roms on my phone without risks ?
Btw, I don't know a lot of things about customizing a phone with roms so ( if you know a great website to learn more about these things I would love to get its name/URL) and my native language is french so there might be dumb questions / english mistakes.

Thank you very much for the information but I found out that I have a M2010J19SY in the settings although you didn't mention that model in your message as it is lemon and not lime or citrus... But you wrote that the Redmi 9T was lime... I don't understand what's going on.
