future of mi8 development - Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

What's up with the devlopment dudes? There's basically no ROMs or kernels. We need to request xiaomi to send this device to a few devs and/or start a donation thread for a official los dev

Not sure what you are talking about, there are a few developers working on a few ROMS now... To any of the devs reading this, please ignore rude people like him... We really appreciate your efforts and work!!

Oh I'm sorry if I came across as rude, I'm new to the development community here and meant that as a casual message, as well as a suggestion to find a official los dev, which would ensure the longevity of this device compared to something like a poco f1

Also, I was exaggerating slightly when I said no ROMs or kernels - kudos to those developing right now. I'm thinking maybe of compiling a few ROMs as well

[Q] MiniCM 2.0.8 DEV?

Where can I download this DEV version? I have looked everywhere. Or is it perhaps only available to developers?
Wasn't sure whether or not I should ask, but I figured it's better to ask too much rather than not asking at all.

if you want to test DEV versions of miniCM you need to ask nAa so that he can send you email with link; new features and so on
of course, DEV versions are expected not to be stable, buggy, laggy or anything else
your phone can also be bricked after that
so testing DEV versions is not risk free.
you are absolutely responsible of what you do to your device
DEV versions are there to hunt bugs if any, so testing them isn't for only pleasure but also to help nAa in the development progress
hope that answers is what you expected
it is absolutely not recommended to ask for link if you can't help in any way
no noobs, no spammers there, only real users, testers and dev that can contribute to the dev progress

MIUI port for Ace. Open source MIUI

Is it going to be easier now to, unofficially, port MIUI to ACE and is someone doing it?
someone doing it...
don't spam forum with similar posts plzzzzzz...
all of us here know its open source so wait for someone to release it and keep quite till then
once again a spamer
are all of your 55 post spams like this -.-
All I wanted was information. There is not thread for this as for now. Thank you all smart asses for being helpful. Do not want to be rude but I asked and you did not answer. Unless you have something to the subject keep your comments to you.
yeah and you having much smarter ass even cared to search the forum ??
MIUI is for hdpi devices with armv7 arch and they have released source of some apps if you know this...
so you won't see full miui thing in near future for ace
I am not trying to be a smart ass coz I am just a user and I respect the work devs do. Just wanted info on this.

i can understand how eager are you to see miui on ace but offcourse all are.. we are seeing some similar questions over forums that why we shouted on you ... when they release some more things open source way then you might expect some port but its too early to ask for port

To moderators
First of all I am sorry for creating this thread here which should be in general section. But as most of the people visit development section so I just want that people should notice this thread and give their valuable opinion. When time will come I will request to move this thread to general section
To all xda mi3/mi4 users
My name is Vishal. I am using mi3 since almost 1 year. After sources released by xiaomi the development of custom roms and kernels was really superb. Even still our developers like audihaudi, bitti and many others working really hard to give bugless roms to us. But after recently developer like varun.chitre, jackeagle and gnome left the development. Look like we need a very expert helping hand to deal with very core problems/bugs that we are facing right now and to support our device's development for a long time with best updates. We all agree that camera quality of mi3 on custom roms is below average. Also bugs like SOD after call, no sim bug are very annoying issue that we are dealing right now.
So I contacted a developer dhiru1602[/] who has a very good experience with kernel as well cm rom development especially with CM sources and CM based rom. Also he is official maintainer and developer of nameless rom for many devices which are
Samsung galaxy s3
Samsung galaxy note 2
Nexus 4
Galaxy SL i9003
Optimus L9
Optimus P760
Optimus P765
Optimus P768
Optimus P769
Dhiru1602 developer's profile
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2875964
And his work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=379647111
Only problem is that he don't have mi3 or mi4 device. Without device fixing critical bugs in device tree and keep on providing bugless updates is a critical task for any developer. So if we donate enough amount to him so that he can buy a mi3 or mi4 phone then that will going to be a big advantage for developement of our phone.
So I want to know how many people are really willing to donate surely so that we can donate a phone to him?? It will help me to judge the response and to initiate the things later.
Thank You,
Vishal

its great to have a thread like this, all things in one place. To start off i am looking forward to some rooting tricks which can enable the sdcard to be formatted or behave as internal memory on stock rom. CM 13 does allow that but here i mean stock rom , give a thumbs up if anyone got something:fingers-crossed: to share.

Sorry for being off topic guys. As u see there are 11 threads in our j5 roms and kernel forums which have been closed either on OP request or GPL compliant problem or because of warez involvement! This made our forums look really untidy. So what I am asking here is do the forum moderators have the authority of "Deleting" the entire thread? If so then can we do something so that forum looks cleaner?
Edit:
I just downloaded 16 GB source of Pacman rom and setup up my laptop for the build process. So would any of u guys like to work in collaboration with me on this provided u have some knowledge on this source stuff ( i will take help from Ganesh or Nick as well)? Ofcourse it will be after 2 months. Just wanted to ask in advance as i couldn't get my head off this .

You should have posted here, although i mentioned in OP to not post stuff related to development.
I dont know if is possible to delete that threads and i wouldnt suggest that since our forum is not even popular yet. Deleting these threads would make our j5 forum to not look popular.
We got J5 forum because we had some threads with roms & kernel and there were some other threads.
I will report your post in the thread regarding MM warning... because this kind of post lead to more replies which will make the thread more cluttered...
Hey guys.
I have just managed to get myself a new contract phone ! After years of no credit they are giving me a new phone ! I will have the Honour 8 as from Monday !
So my question is, what do I do with this J500FN ?
It's running really well, rooted, TWRP and ZONIK's Performance ROM.
Do I keep it and just use it for helping test ROMs on here ( I like this forum)
Or do I sell it on ?
What do you think ??

Huawei Honour 8 is a nice phone and i see that it has xda forum too. I would say to keep it, sell it or give it to someone from your family or to a developer which is interested to build for this phone (FROM SOURCE !) haha. Its my opinion.
Btw, you shouldnt have quoted KingWilliam post in warning thread....

All these rules!! I'm trying to get the hang of it all!! I will delete it
Thanks for answering.
The Honour 8 is a great phone I'm chuffed to be getting it.
I think I'm going to keep the phone and just use it for helping to test ROMs and yes from scorce if they are available !
I have to use the best these there is and I must say that the one I'm using is about the best that I have used !
I hope that CM13 well be out soon and the RR looks promising.
Good idea about the thread

Yes I think I'm going to keep the J5. I will just use it for testing ROMS on here. I like being involved in this forum and love the development or our android !
Please remember this if you ever do come up with any new roms and want somebodu to do the testing.
I'm chuffed that I'm getting a new phone. I didn't go out to get the Honour 8 they offered it and I had read about it on here.
It's a great phone with loads of RAM and it gets lots of OTA updates. I wonder how long it will be before it's rooted !!
I will let you know how it goes

Strange? What's strange in being correct? Is that hard to respect forum rules and developers work (to not post warez and such) ? Is that hard?
It's up to you what ROM you'll use.
I'm not gonna make a new ROM. But I can help others in making their ROM, only the ones that deserve.
Btw, is anybody watching animes?

Henkate, I understand why you have done what you have done
The only problem is that you have stopped the roms that we are using and people ain't gonna be happy with that.
There are alot of people that were using them roms and were waiting for updates.
Your actions ain't gonna make you any friends mate but that obviously don't bother you.
Rules are rules I know but nobody was complaining . I too noticed the warez etc in the ROMs but didn't go report it as we were using the roms and it was making out phones better.
I could understand it more if you was making ROMs from source your self but your not.
I don't think many people are gonna work with you mate.

Custom ROMs for A-2016 series

Hi. As you can see, ROM developers here don`t really pay attention to making any custom ROMs for our beloved A310, A510 and A710-s. So i have made a request on Cyanogenmod Forums for any developers there to see and work on the project! It`d be nice if you showed yourselves there too so the developers don`t think A-2016 series phones aren`t mainstream and aren`t worth working on. Here is the request thread link, so go there, reply or something, just show yourselves!
https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/129136-request-cyanogenmod-for-galaxy-a3a5a7-2016-sm-a310510710/
Maybe that old fight regarding Exynos processors is the main problem here. IDK for sure. Check it out here, XDA team made a post about this "betrayal" between Samsung and the developers.
Regardless, I'm still looking forward into that CM13 thread on the original development forums. However, the OP is not answering the PMs or the thread, so it's kinda useless by now.
Can't we make a Custom from ourselves maybe work with a good developer here on XDA and use our devices for testing
