There are at least 6 over in the ROMS FORUM. There are more that are not supported here or even allowed on XDA. You may have better luck asking in that forum. What is it you are looking for that Android won't do?

Why is dev support so bad for this phone?

I have an old mi note 5 pro which I gave to my girlfriend and that phone already has many stable android 10 ROMs, along with havoc and pixel experience, and it didn't even get an official android 10 update.
This phone has official android 10 from xiaomi but there aren't any aosp based ROMs on it. All the major ones have been abandoned and there aren't too many in general anyway. Why is that happening? Is it specifically hard to make ROMs for this phone?

what do you mean by dev support so bad?iff you can question dev like this "quote" (Is it specifically hard to make ROMs for this phone)..why dont you try to make one?dont throw stupid question on this forum..to make a custom rom first you need free time..second need a team to develop 1 rom..third you not getting paid for what you did (yes you can put your donation link in the post but not all user will donate to you..dumn kiddo
Basically stick with MIUI if you want a functional phone with updates for like 2 years. Then you can rely on 3rd party developers. But then again software for your device is not guaranteed. Or better should had bought OnePlus 7/t/pro instead. Xiaomi has a very bad record of updating their device. It's called planned obsolescence. It's better if you learn how to make ROMs if you want to keep your device updated. You can't trust and rely on anyone these days.
Cheaper devices which have lost support tend to get better dev support.
I'd imagine more android 10 roms when the official kernel sources for it are released. If it were never to get Android 10, then devs may see it worthwhile to backport kernels.

Because you haven't out baked any ROMs.

Let's not act like the folks at the MI forums and discuss it rationally instead of lashing out at OP.
My guess is that K20 series is rather new series and has lower salse than extremely successful devices like Note 5 pro. So it has smaller dev base and availability of raw materials yet.
Instead of giving cliche answers like "developers have life too", "why don't you make rom yourself".
Why can't we discuss lack of Android 10 roms for our device? OP asked the right question.
As far as I know, we don't have stable device tree for Q. Xiaomi doesn't release device trees. Abhishek(dev of LineageOS 10) has a working device tree but he wants to make it stable and then release the sources. Once he releases that i think then we will get more Q based custom roms.
Yeah It is not worthy changing to custom rom. Better stay on stock atm
Because it's still a rather new phone, atleast the global one. Custom ROMs in general seem to be dying, probably because official ROMs are getting better and better compared to the times when i had my HTC HD2.
I don't know why everyone is so butthurt about this post, I'm legitimately curious why this is happening. I'm not bashing the devs at all, maybe 10 year old children that can't even comprehend a text should stick to their telegram groups.
Thanks to everyone who posted something actually useful, it seems the official device tree hasn't been released it, hopefully xiaomi will take care of this soon.

At the moment there is a bit of inactivity whilst many devs are waiting for android 10 sources to be released by Xiaomi. I'm guessing most devs don't want to waste time working on fixing Pie ROMs when they know everyone will abandon them once stable 10 ROMs arrive.
Give it a month or so and you'll see done movement again.

Good point, I haven't considered that. This phone is very popular and I was really curious why there are so few custom ROMs, maybe we will get more goodies on android 10.

Really don't need this kind of rage, take it easy. I believe op was just asking. Just a curiosity... Despite your concerns about the words he used to start the talk. I believe it is pretty easy to understand he was not demanding anything from the good guys, the devs, or even trying to complaining about it.
Seems that there's no way to have a civilized conversation about it without getting someone any hassle, saying "why don't you develop? Douchebag".... Not first time I saw this. Weird thing indeed...
From the Moderator oka1
This conversation is going nowhere productive.... They rarely do.
Remember, everyone posts their work for free, if you do not like their work, I suggest you make your own ROM and show us your skills .......... Which likely, are non-existent with the exception of running your mouth.

Do you think we will get official Android 11?

As per the title - there are a few nice benefits coming with Android 11, but it is unclear if OnePlus will extend support of the 7 Pro.
My suspicion is not, but has anyone read or heard anything that would point out the future strategy?

Why would you suspect it won't? Of course it will. All you need to check is OnePlus' history of updates to it's past phones. Honestly, the phone should get even 12.
I still have nightmares about the OnePlus two

You can blame Cyanogen Inc. for that one.
11 will be incoming...someday.

Judging from OnePlus's update record for the 3 and 5 series, the 7 Pro will get Android 12 as its last major update
Yes we will the public beta will be live in May June time

Question How long does it take to get Custom ROM?

Hey guys! Swapped from a oneplus 8 pro. I forgot how much I hate oxygen OS...Love the devices but oxygen OS is just ehhhhh. I had been running custom AOSP ROM for the longest time. How long until these devices generally get custom ROM? Pixel experience or lineage would be sweeeeeeet.
Also whats up with the lack of MEMC?? That was the best part of stock oneplus 8. Pretty sure the 9 had it as well. Am I just missing it or is it gone?
It depends upon many factors like which ROM you are flashing, It's Size, Recovery, Device Configuration etc. I flashed MIUI 6 in my old HTC Desire 616 and it took approx 10 to 15 minutes to flash and boot, First boot after flashing a room usually takes time so keep patience.
I guess upon previous phones that it might take around 3 months to get first initial custom ROM builds.

Depends on the phone mate, some have them made before the phone releases.
Evo X has a placeholder for a ROM on the 10 which I'm praying is remotely close to what we had on the 8 pro.
I'm sure lineage will make its way and probably some Magisk ROMs.
Point is it has to happen..it's one of the best phones in the world at the moment but it has a crap OS, so yea I'd say well get some ROMs, hopefully the right ones like Evo.

Man I hope so! I personally ran EVO for quite some time and it was pretty good. The only reason I swapped was because of some android auto issues I had running it with Headunit Reloaded on my android unit in my car. I no longer do that so I wouldnt mind an EVO port to the 10 pro! Lineage makes its way to every phone at some point. I guess I'll suck it up and stick with OOS for a little while.
Oneplus should just hire the guys behind pixel experience or one of the other large ones and use them for their next phone. That would probably be a hit.
Yea I agree mate, I also think I remember you asking about auto.
Funny you mention hiring that guys, that's kind of how OnePlus started, they hired someone who made Cyanogen mod, the now lineage.
They've moved far from them humble roots.. but so long as the community keeps going and it remains strong then in my eyes it'll remain a great device.
The more source code that's released, the better the ROM prospects...

Question ROM Development?

Is there ROM development happening for this device at this current moment?
The specs of this phone is really something, but I despise MIUI.
I am not asking ways to improve MIUI, I will not use it.
I am just asking, if rom development is happening for this device at all, and some timeline as to when I would be able to see it, if at all.
I ask, since I would probably go OnePlus 10 pro if nothing is likely to happen to this device.
Thanks!

Question Does anyone know when will they roll out Miui 14 along with Android 14 for this device?

There are too many custom roms for Rn11 and I so far have tried evry single one of em. But I couldn't find a complete loaded full rom that is why I downgraded back to Mui 13Global.
I was wondering if Xiaomis gonna release Android 13 official with Mui14 ?
I read somewhere that it's schedule for april or may.
No. There's literally note many custom rom for Redmi Note 11. That's for sure. I have been on the custom rom scene for 12 years. Never seen XDA forum so empty. lol.
And MIUI 14 won't be release for Remi Note 11 in 2023. That's for sure.

Hi All,
How I see it...
[Custom Rom]
Sure, the forums are slow/dead, in comparission to other more popular/active forums. But it all depends on the developers/maintainers and the access they have to devices. Most more common devices have their source/kernel available to public, making it easier to build roms.
As our kernel is still yet to be fully officially released, what we have now in the way of roms isn't bad going considering. There would be far more, if its was available and more people had this device....
[Android 13 / MIUI 14]
With regards to Android 13 and MIUI 14.... We are due to receive, according to the APP and various Xiaomi sources. However I have yet to see an official date....?? Considering how long it took us to get Android 12 and MIUI 12.5 / 13, generally about a year or more behind the official launch date.... I see Android 14 becoming widely available to Pixels and other devices, before we even see an official Android 13 rom...
/ we can hope though....

Yeh mate considering how late they delivered android 12 for this Rn11 I don't think so they are going to make a rush in delivering 13 any earlier. Watchu said about the kernal is also true but its been a year since this device was released and still Xiaomi hasn't published the source kernel. I don't think that they will release it now and onwards.
i think the whole site is pretty dead now ( pixel forums too ), telegram seems to be the go to place . i been floating round here since i got a nokia n73 way back .. before most of you were born lol
