I have owned a mi 11 ultra for several months now and I am still waiting for a custom ROM for this device. I feel like that would greatly improve the user experience I would have with it. I am willing to donate to anyone who creates a ROM for this device. How many more would they donate?
me too
Personally speaking I don't think this phone needs a custom ROM, it's not like it used to be
Would also donate

Hi all.
My question is about kernel sources. I know devs can do magic if the sources are out there.
So, does Xiaomi typically give kernel sources? When would they do that? And especially why?
I am trying to understand how Xiaomi stands in that regard.
Cheers!
They are some of the worst. Even when they do release it, it is broken or incomplete. No one that has any choice buys their devices.

I have now filed a complaint with the XDA admins, asking them if they think it's ok with moderators that keep posting falsified information and non constructive nonsense. You are certainly lowering the quality of the threads. I don't know why, and I don't care why - but please help making XDA a better place instead of posting things no one wants to read.

You can think what ever you want but my comments are very much true. If a developer is looking for a device to develop on Xiaomi is is avoided due to their lack of following the GPL. Think I am wrong why not have a read HERE where we talk about it in length.

No idea. Their selection criteria which device source to release also remains unrevealed.
maybe 1year after the release of Mi5. Thats what they did with Mi3 right?
The kernel sources are published. Are they complete and are they useful for the dev(s)?
here are the kernel sources

@thunderrr0 I know they are published but I have not found anybody who can tell whether the sources can be used or are broken.

Only developers will know for sure unless you download the source and try to build it as is. Most of the time there takes lots of fixes and hacks to get it working. Main reason most developers won't buy their devices.
Hi Everyone,
As we are aware about Dirty Unicorn Rom & Now we have there RC build which is based on android 8.1.
I have personally tested it for a complete day , Battery backup and performance wise thats a great Rom.
Interested one can visit this page and give a try.

Supported device : Oneplus 3 , 3T , 5 , 5T.

If you would read the posts, you would know that they don't want people to post anything about DU on XDA.

They mainly just don't agree with how XDA runs things, you can read more about DU on Dev's Base, stuff like that. That's where they post stuff.

Almost, read this.
This is a Quote from a Post.
Back in early September of 2016 there was a situation between a friend of mines and XDA. This friend’s name is Nate Benis or better known as Beanstown106. Nate or should I say “Beans” as I call him was upset that a individual had taken his work and posted it on XDA prior to him releasing his official build. He really got upset. This was probably the first time that I had seen Beans upset in public. He normally keeps his thoughts private and so I was surprised. He pulled his source off github and took to G+ to call this guy out.

Not much. Alex didn't like XDA's direction, which seems fair. Creates new site to recreate what once was, admin gets upset, escalates things. Too much drama for me.
I wholeheartedly agree with the "glorified tech support" thing though. It seems most people here can't even pull up proper logs when they have issues. "issue here plz fix o kind dev."
I think XDA has become more of a tech site instead of an actual developer website, albeit developers still post here. If you look at Dev's Base, it doesn't have the completely off topic posts that XDA does. Not saying its a bad thing that XDA does, it just seems Dev's base is a dev site not a tech site.
What firmware are you all using on the new Jan18 build?
Have you tried and success to install Viper4android or any audio mod ?

Dude bugger off. They don't care if we discuss it. As long as no links to downloads are posted here. Look below a few threads and you'll see a discussion about DU that was active over a year. Never got shutdown cause it didn't violate any rules. I don't know why we needed a new thread though.
Stop trying to act all hard. Noob

Sorry if I came across harsh, and discussion is allowed. Just don't see the point of doing it here, when you could get responses from people who actually develop this ROM over on their G+. That's what I really meant, don't see point in this thread. Discussing it is allowed.

IDK, the large majority of Dev's Base seems to not be there for "tech" stuff. Considering the current lead of the site, I doubt it will change either. Its possible though.

It's only possible to keep the site that way if it remains small or if they ban every new user that doesn't know enough.
Looking at their G+ page and at what some DU users ask here on XDA, it's clear not everyone is a genius. Allow normal users to create accounts and install your fancy ROM and then you have a typical XDA thread with dumb questions.

Why do the few projects (especially ROMs) born for this phone end up being abandoned?
That's actually not true. All the devs are now on Telegram that's why you don't see much here.
Yeah, many of the roms that are abandoned here are on telegram

IMHO It's a chain: Making ROMs and any other software, devs grows technically, enrich their resumes and receive donations. Users gains their devices a little more juice and stands happy.
Everyone wins.

Not that. Some people just prefer to access a messaging platform than a forum. Is way too easy. A lot of phones (e.g, Xiaomi's and Realme's) have Telegram groups with bots and notes to facilitate the use and search for features, mods, etc.
I don't really understand why this phone doesn't have active devs. When I look up at YouTube I see a lot of videos from different countries and it appears to be a good selling one.

No and no one cares this device for this moment, maybe I will, cus current on daisy is everything done. And with "stock debloated roms" you mean stock rom, but debloated? (Some kinda deleting unnecesary apps, adding features, customizing kernel, right?)

Well yes, stock as in not AOSP, because only Samsung's firmware gives full control over the camera.
And yes, debloated as in no rubbish apps from Samsung.
I'm not sure what customising kernel can actually give you as benefit, I'm not Dev.

Debloating stock isn't hard, I can make it if you want that. Customizing kernel can give better battery life, perfomance etc.

These type of responses are 'what happened to xda'. This forum was a place to help and support users. Devs would get exposure, release apps and software without need for playstore. Users would provide feedback as testers and a few would pay or donate. It's become a place for snarky responses to questions that may be innocent.
