Realme x7 was launched after Realme 7 pro but it's kernel sources are available. Will realme even make the kernel sources for the 7 pro public?
Also do we have a telegram group for development discussions? If not I request the moderators to allow for one since it's a hassle to create threads here.
You'd presume if they are ever going to release it it will be pretty soon given they just released sources for realme 7. Here's hoping anyway

Will there be a LineageOS for the Redmi 5 Plus soon? (Codename: Vince)
It got a snapdragon 625 so it shouldnt be that hard, isnt it? Or is something important missing so there will no custom roms soon?
If someone CAN build LineageOS for this device, but hasn't got enough resources for this, please contact me via PM. I'll able to set up a Server
(Just for Lineageos )
Good question - should be fairly straightforward in theory, but changes in displays, touch panels, cameras and fingerprint sensors will always present a unique set of challenges for an experienced dev considering there is no kernel source code yet. Redmi Note 4 development efforts will definitely help no doubt as certain blobs should be ported over without issue, but a bit of classic reverse engineering and testing will be needed to begin with. Building 7.1.2 shouldn't be too hard, but 8.0 will be a little trickier until codebases stabilise. Really hoping that MIUI 10 introduces treble support!
Will definitely be keen to test ROMs as they become available for the Redmi 5 plus though, seems like a decent successor to the Redmi Note 4 even if the lack of an SOC upgrade makes it a little boring as an upgrade - but they won't be selling the Redmi Note 4 forever.

Yea sure, no kernel source is a problem, and as it seems Xiaomi wont release any kernel sources soon anymore .. take a look at the Mi A1.
For my knowledge, treble will be ONLY available if the devices COMES with Android 8(.1)

There is treble support for Huawei mate 9. And it didn't come with Oreo 8.1

did it come at least with 8.0?
Do we have information if the Lineage team is working on an official version? This seems like it will be a quite high volume phone.

I am planning to buy the redmi 5 plus ( aka Redmi note 5 in India), but i can't withstand miui. I hope there are developments regarding the custom roms for this device very soon. Currently on redmi 4x (Crdroid custom rom).
RR 5.8.5 for vince: http://en.miui.com/thread-1674896-1-1.html
I hope that the development of realme7 as well as narzo 20 pro will be great because the kernel source has been released by realme. Maybe soon there will be custom kernels and more official custom roms will be available. Guys hope for the best. Also try to support the developer by donating servers. Try to support the developer. Because if we do that then the realme 7 development can become almost like redmi note 8 pro. So don't give up hope on this device.
Please try to support the developer by donating more servers. Link: [email protected]
I bought a moto edge 20 fusion from Flipkart almost a week ago. I've been watching this forum for a week but there have been no posts whatsovever. So this led me to wonder wether this phone will get any custom rom at all.
Even a bootloader unlock or custom recovery for this device would be much appreciated.

Yeah same thoughts, only hindrance is the MediaTek SoC. I read around and it seems MediaTek doesn't share their source code or libraries to public like SnapDragon which is necessary for custom ROM development. Also read that one Xiaomi device with mediaTek had great custom ROM support as Xiaomi provided the source code or other resource, so it's not impossible to build custom ROM. Let's hope Motorola and MediaTek provide resources.

Are you willing to test the kernel?
Sakthivel Nadar, has agreed to develop kernel and roms, he is maintaining roms and did bringup for these devices.
- Poco M2
- Redmi 9 Prime
- Realme 1
- Realme U1
- Realme C2
He is also maintaining PE officially for Redmi 9 Prime and Poco M2.
All the above devices are based on mediatek chipsets.

I'm learning how to write a device tree for building Android for POCO X3 GT, as you can see this is my Device tree repository ，Although it is not yet fully used to build a usable custom Android system and not particularly good-looking，but it can at least pass the build
as you can see i used the Chinese version of MIUI 12.5.6 firmware to write this device tree，Although I solved the problem of the kernel not booting, I still encountered the problem of not being able to start the recovery
I don't know when I'll be able to finish it, but at least it can be used as a practice project for me
If there is anything that needs to be fixed, please submit a PR for me
Very Nice , i support it
can join it development Dimensity 1100
Also I support it thank you very much for your hard works.
Hi,
Requirements: Custom ROM support
Another requirement : More Custom ROM support
I googled and find that Xiaomi did not release their Kernal and source code yet.
Is going release them near soon.
What is the situation on Xiaomi side.
Previously I've used OnePlus 9R ( of course all custom ROM only)
Kindly advise.

Kernal and device trees for Redmi note 12 5g Sunstone · Issue #4227 · MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource
Hi, Kindly release Kernal and device trees for Redmi note 12 5g Sunstone. Do not close this issue without releasing, if it's already released kindly make them public or share link here.

Let's face it. You buy Redmi devices because it's best value for money and Xiaomi is able to subsidize the hardware by putting ads on your phone, so it's not in their best interest to help you put custom ROM on it.
if you really prioritize custom roms then pay a couple of dollars more and get a OnePlus.
do not buy redmi!you should never get the experience after has one redmi device
