Hi guys! Just want to ask regarding custom ROM developer for our device as I noticed that there is only one developer that is working as of now. And based on his thread his not willing to work with anyone.
My question is any chance that there for other developer to work on our device? Coming from my previous device(mia1) lineage is well supported, little bit worried plus this is also my first time using miui and I'm not impressed. But hardware is top notch plus no moving parts ,this is a good device.
This question is just query without any demand to anyone. Thank you.
I'm using Pixel Experience GSI bro, and straight up not having a good time, but still better than miui (it's my personal taste). At this point, consider how this device had been out, i dont think we see any official roms any time soon
Unfortunately, the smartphone doesn't get the attention it deserves. But hope dies last.

What do you mean by not having a good time? Full of bugs and broken features?

Why not try the Lineage ROM? We're very lucky to have an active dev working on it!
Saying that I would love to see a Pixel ROM at some point, but I'm not complaining...

Yes you're right. I think mi 9 lite is superior than mi 9 se(small battery) and mi9t(moving front camera. Only downside is the processor,but you will not notice the difference in day to day task. Hopefully some devs will notice our device as this one should be the mia3. If @Flex can help us,that will be great. No 1 contributor to mia1.

I'm also working on a rom for the device. There sure is a steep learning curve. At the moment, building roms that are based on Android 10 are quite a pain due to the fact that Xiaomi has not released the Android Q kernel source for pyxis. They're still on Pie.

Maybe this is why they didn't release a patch in a while. Hope this update is going to be good.

True!! But we dont have a stable TWRP yet..
And I'm worried to install any Experimental builds as I screwed my last phone by doing so... I lost my IMEI for ever.
Meanwhile I've been trying to build an AOSP PIE rom from source using the kernel from ASUS website on GCP but it fails with an error every time.
Looks like there's lots more to learn.
great news hope the camera improves too.

It seems like there are very few developers who have Z5Z. Most of them would have rather gone for oneplus 6 or the poco F1. I am too coming from oneplus 2 and I am huge flash-o-holic. With 5Z, there is a bit of disappointment on that front. It is really good to know that there are few developers who are working on this device. All the best for your work.

We all know 5z is way too better than poco F1. I have both devices and i personally use 5z. Excpt for hardware, daylight camera and battery poco is just a dissapointment. But since it has a developer support
So people prefer poco over 5z

So you always start with stable os and then try and get it working on future/newer releases once you have a stable build. Ideally it will be 16 but honestly it may have to start at 15 even. I'll know more once I get it to build. I am still trying to figure out why no one has done this already for this device. I've had no issues getting vanilla gsis running on this phone so it's odd that no one is developing unless I'm missing something obvious (I've been out of the loop with Android for a few years) or nobody who builds has the phone they opted for a one plus/Samsung/rog etc. I'm hoping the reason is that we just lack developers not that there's a hurdle I'm not aware of. I last built Android on KitKat so I've been trying to get caught up on the development and changes since then. Our hardware is almost identical to the note and there's a ton of devices with aosp builds that share our peripherals so the majority of the data is there from what I can see.

Great to hear! Hope it goes well!
I too was wondering if it was just a matter of lack of developers considering Razer has released the sources for the device on their developer portal (Link if anyone wants to check it out)
And a question, will the built in Dolby Atmos be a possibility to port over to run in Lineage?
anything further on plans for this?
I'm going to be building myself soon I'll post if I'm successful I've only built for one other device before so we will see.
Anyone get anywhere with this?

I'm asking the same questions. I mean, not even the newer XT has it all.
But perhaps because of it got squished by tons of new devices this year, devices that is given more promotion funds thus more the hype.
I just bought this device few days ago. I waited a couple of months so that the price dropped. Got this for basically USD$200
Weird because the XT and X2 are everywhere on youtube, maybe realme stopped production because of costs? that popup camera cant be cheap to make
I was about to buy it but I heard the stock ROM is reaaaaally bad, did realme say if its going to get official android 10?
And again if there was better custom ROM support I would buy this in a second

I hear ya. I'm currently on candyrom and it's very stable, currently my daily driver without any problems, and excellent battery life .. It's just on the first build so there are few wrinkles to be ironed out, realme has handed out devices to developers so expecting a stable solid build soon ?

Make sense. They must be loosing money on this device, thus they ditched the pop up cam and return to the drop.
But for me the stock ROM is rock solid. For the first time, I kept coming back to the stock ROM rather than all of the custom ROMs I've tried. Not that the custom ROMs are bad, it is just I keep on missing features of the stock ROM.
That said, I do wish that more dev would come in and create more and better custom ROMs for this great device.

It's been months since device has been handed to developers but still I can't see any great support except lineage os by @SagarMakhar

Why do you blame the developer while getting bugs on a alpha version?
OEMv2c is still an alpha version
And at the moment are the xz2/c/3 the only real usable devices in the new 4.14
(Xperia 1/5 too somehow)
It just takes time, developers are humans with a 8 hours work day or less if they do it as an volunteer work for free for you the enduser in their spare time after a full day of hard work to pay their families and the bug is already known
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
By the way
The Sony open devices project by Sony makes development and kernel upgrades much easier.
But more volunteers working for free for you === faster progress

Lots of knowledge and time and Linux.
Xiaomi 12 pro has A/B partitions which does not facilitate the task

Thanks @NOSS8
I'm okay with spending time on projects that i would use or share with others and linux is not a new thing to me neither.
The other questions is does this phone have all neccesary components etc avaible to develop a rom for it as well?
I have seen and used xiaomi.eu but it is kinda the same as oem rom but extra goodies from china rom and all agressive battery saving options still remain killing all apps.

Not sure that's enough.
I'm seeing with a developer for an AOSP rom, I'll let you know.
So,the answer:
Hi, have checked and no trees or kernel yet for this device.
Would be able to make but atm not much time. Once trees and kernel would be available though building like crDroid would be no problem.
Following this answer I provided with 2 Github links.
https://github.com/MiCode/vendor_qcom_opensource_wlan/tree/zeus-s-oss
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/zeus-s-oss
Atm it will be a no. Not sure how it will go in time.
Ofc thx for the offer and maybe we'll speak each other soon.
I contacted 5 others developers.
1/Too busy.
2/Too busy.
3/Too busy.

No news from the developer who had accepted.
Coming from Oneplus phones going all the way back to the 2, I knew jumping to this phone it wasn't going to be the same development experience. But I can tell you from years of watching forums and development that this phone is DOA for development. If anything was going to happen it would have happened long before now like in the spring.
We will be dependent upon official Xiaomi releases supplemented by the Xiaomi.EU customization for as long as we own this phone. There will never be a custom rom. Accept that or get a Pixel 7 before the sale is over.

The biggest problem with this phone is the autonomy even with a Xiaomi Eu rom, maybe with an AOSP it would have been better.
Performance and autonomy, difficult to reconcile the two despite what Qualcomm says and given the comparisons with other Socs.
More performance and better battery life of course, but the reality is different, all of this is just commercial, note that almost all brands that will use the Gen 2 switch to larger batteries, while it is said that it will consume less than the Gen 1, amazing isn't it?
The optimization also seems to have been abandoned by Xiaomi too busy selling its multitude of phones.
As far as development is concerned, the phone is expensive and despite the source code being released 1 month after its release, it is incomplete.
Currently the flagships all have the same problem, autonomy.
