I am really new to the scene, i installed a bunch of custom ROMs and that is that.
I have my Redmi 4X and i want to find a custom ROM based on Android 4.4.2 however there isn't any.
I found the source in /platform/build/+/android-4.4.2_r1 on android.googlesource.com however i do not know how to build it.
Any ideas how?
Redmi 4x (santoni) was released with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, there are no earlier ROMs for it.

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"
It is better to search here:

I am a big fan of lineage os. So i would love to see an official lineage os ROM for redmi 4 and 4x. Lineage os, please make it possible.
Not possible without official kernel sources

I used to use redmi 2, we don't have official kernel, we have a ported kernel and still managed to get official lineageos

Yes we had official kernel source from xiaomi, they released it with lollipop for redmi 2 prime
Would it be possible for anyone to port paranoid android and miui roms for our device. I have used them on other devices in the past and feel that they r great roms too along with all those we have like PE, Evox, CrDroid, Bliss etc.
I've seen there are many custom roms for RN9s and RN9 Pro. Why does our RN9 doesn't have? Will there be roms for us someday? Just bought the phone and thought there were roms I can install
I think its up to xiaomi, because ROM's devolopers usually waits for the official kernel source to be uploaded by the manufacturer. This reason might explain why there are plenty of Redmi Note 9 Pro/S ROMs (already with kernel source uploaded) but not even a fully functional TWRP recovery for Redmi Note 9. We might need to wait for xiaomi official kernel source for RN9 to start seeing functional stable ROMS running out.

Here, at official Xiaomi Github channel:

Maybe we should wait, RN9 still a new device. And there just an Unofficial TWRP, maybe after the official TWRP got released we will got some custom ROM.
I suggest you to keep on stock rom firmware only.
Root it with magisk. Flash it with twrp.
And everything is fine.

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.
