Meizu just uploaded the PRO 5 sources to GitHub! Custom ROM? - Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello again,
I just found out that Meizu uploaded the PRO 5 sources to GitHub.
Now, to recap:
- The bootloader of the international PRO 5 can be unlocked.
- @Naphtha is Hopefully someone can start working on a custom recovery for the PRO 5.
- PRO 5 sources were just uploaded online.
Are there any people who can create a solid CM (or other ROM) port for the PRO 5?
Thanks

Hello,
Just a stupid question, With this sources and futurs ROMs, is it possible to unlock 800mHz LTE Frequencies ? Or is it a hardware feature that won't exist on this devices ? Because the Exynos can handle it
Thanks in advance.

I don't think it's hardware limitation becauce, modem should be same as samsung GS6 but, unlocking more bands need good skill developer that it seems there are not many for this phone now

Guys but some custom recovery for this phone?

Maybe someone will now port an aosp or official/unofficial CyanogenMod for it.
The hardware of the Meizu Pro 5 is really superb but the OS...well not everyone likes that. And I would not be surprised if people are deterred from buying a Meizu just because of the OS.

I love Flyme but there is too many bugs really annoying.
And i love the form factor and the hardware of the Pro 5, if we can have this with a stable and snappy aosp rom it's perfect.

There are extremely few devices with recent Exynos processors that have any real support at all from the development community, the main problem being Samsung not offering the needed sources as other companies do (like Qualcomm for example). Meizu isn't quite the most popular brand in the world so it's even less likely to have any support. Of course, it would be nice to have, but I don't think it will happen in the near future. I for one like the FlymeOS, it's very snappy compared to the S6/Note5 and also quite stable.

So what's wrong with the sources published on GitHub by Meizu as stated by OP? Are incomplete?

SkiFire13, have you actually seen this officially confirmed by Xiaomi, or is it just a guess? This would not be surprising, but there seems to be no clear answer at this point. Some say that yes, it will be based on MM, but others say it will still be Lollipop-based. It would be great to know if your statement above is just a guess, something you read somewhere else, an official statement from Xioami, or hard data like leaked information from pre-alpha builds.

Xiaomi usually update only the MIUI, not the Android base. This is based on my experience with MIUI. Previously I had a Mi2s with MIUI 5, and I saw 2 updated of MIUI.
Maybe xiaomi will updated our phone to Android N, sometimes they skip an Android version (Mi2s from J to L, Mi3, Mi4 Mi Note from K to M) but I'm not sure.

I want to (and I have tried!) to port AOSP 7.0 Nougat to the Redmi Note 3 Pro, how?

So I have actually had a decent go at this. I got all the Nougat source, but all the RN3 Pro drivers are for cm-13.0. How can I port the drivers to Nougat so I can build AOSP 7.0?
Hello, I think people which did that for xperia M or nexus 5 or others could help you ! Good luck !
Surely it's not possible yet because AOSP Code need some CAF patches to work with non Nexus devices.

The guy who did AOSP for the Nexus 5 also did CM13 and CM12.1 for the RN3 Pro, Santhosh M. He's an XDA god haha

Android 7/Nougat for Honor 7

What's up guys,
I think we all agree that we'll need Android 7 ("nougat") in future on our device. The question is, is anybody willing to work on that?
Greetings,
EinBier
Hi, I think it would be better having a lineageos 13 rom really stable (battery, camera,...) And then try 14.1...
The hardest part is that Huawei won't release any update for nougat, and with MM devs are still using proprietary code...
But well after that, this would be awesome !!

Officially Supported Custom ROMS for RedMi Note 4

Hey all,
I'm looking for a good Custom ROM for my Redmi Note 4 and have come across a few good ones but still I'm not sure if they're Officially supported and are Stable.
I've come across the following:
> Resurrection Remix
> Lineage OS
> Paranoid Android
So my question would be that are any of these ROMS reliable and worth flashing over the original MiUi8. Are there any other ROMS worth checking out? I would like a stable and officially supported ROM with regular updates and a stock android feel. I've been using Cyanogen Mod on my previous phones and then once that ended it's support I switched over to Lineage OS. Now the Redmi Note 4 is not really a supported device for Lineage and people have uploaded a few Unofficial Lineage OS ROMS so if any of you have flashed any particular ROM on your Redmi Note 4 I'll be happy to hear about and the experience it offered you. Feel free to post any information you have regarding this topic :good:
~RabbitWingz
May I suggest AospExtended? It's official and well maintained with regular updates. It has a stock feel and gives you some extras with it's extensions.

Bro I would like to tell you that the lack of official ROMS for our Redmi Note 4 is because Xiaomi has not yet released the kernel sources.
And if you're thinking of switching over from MIUI then yup it's totally worth it and LOS, and AEX are one of the best ROMS you can get right now, these two will get you pretty much everything you want for your device. Hit thanks if helped.

But there's one thing I personally don't like about AEX , I'm a Google fan boy so I always flash opengapps stock but well AEX doesn't really let's me uninstall dead Google apps (Google now ?) and such so yeah that's one and pretty much the only thing about it but again it's a really cool experience using AEX.

So well just go for LOS that's what I'm using and a cherry on top is that it's having all the OMS commits so substratum is fully functional but remember it's not as frequently updates as AEX so if updates are your thing than again AEX is better.
If showing off the shear performance of this beast is your thing (and simplicity too) then go for LOS cause I found the highest performance in benchmark from LOS and yeah Darkness Redefined is also good cause I've used it and found it pretty polished.

Hey man,
Thanks for all the information! Would Xiaomi release the kernel sources later in the future or are there no sure plans of that happening? MiUi is pretty heavy and all the bloatware and crappy Ram Management is a disappointment. For those reasons I'm really eager to switch over to a custom ROM and if Lineage OS somehow supports it officially later in the future, It'll definitely be my first choice. Also if you could provide me with a little more Info on the AEX ROM and it's features then that'll be great. Or just simply link it :good:

Bro for AEX just visit the forums and yes the kernel sources will be released in the future but for now we just can wait. Once they're released our device will be like REDMI NOTE 3 our device's forums will be flowing with ROMS and kernel. And like I said once they're released all the ROMS will go official.

Thanks once again The only thing that bothers me from flashing LOS is that only an Unofficial Build is available here on XDA so I'm not really sure how trustworthy it is. But you've used it and have you come across any bugs or performance issues? Also could you link the download page and Instructions for LOS (Redmi Note 4 Edition obviously) It's called Mido or Nikel I think? Not really sure but some more information on LOS would be amazing :good:

Bro if it's unofficial then it doesn't mean that it's not trustworthy but simply that right now it won't get OTA updates and it won't get updated with all the other devices but when the developer will want to update it and like a said our device is a beast and LOS just flaunts it. It doesn't have pretty much any bugs or issues and my little tip just flash opengapps stock zip to get all the stock Google apps but remember to remove the useless once to get the ultimate experience.

Have you checked who's the maintainer of the unofficial Los for rn4? Right... It's the maintainer of the official RR of rn3 ? as said already in a answer for you unofficial does not mean some random guy maintains it... Why don't you read and check yourself who the Maintainer is?
Since I switched to xiaomi the XDA threads are full over and over with the same boring unnecessary questions. ?

Haha :laugh: Well thanks for bringing that to my attention. Once Xiaomi releases the kernel sources there will be a huge spike in official ROMS for Redmi Note 4 anyway so I think I'll still wait for an official LOS build later on or even Resurrection Remix which seems quite interesting to me due to it's mind-blowing customization capabilities.

Normally, the kernel is shared across all 7 devices. But as the hardware ia different and the ROM is not tested on the 7T Pro, I don't think that it would work and I wouldn't do it.
Your only chance is to build it yourself or ask the maintainer if he wants to support the device.
Wouldn't think so because the phones have different partition layouts.
And why would anyone ever want to flags memeui?
