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.
Here's his GitHub for reference.

Just as the title says . I dont mind the waiting to be honest but will it happen? I mean they have the qualcom variant so I hope they will bring out one for our note 3
I am there with you brother !
The phone is pretty awesome and I CM wil be available soon . Ever thought about making the ROM yourself?
count me in. It would be just super great to have CM on the Redmi Note 3!!!
Count me in on wishing this was available....

Any version of Cyanogenmod for the Redmi Note 3 would be great. Very disappointed in this phone. The reviews were - are - very complimentary, the hardware specs are really good, but for beyond-China buyers the software problems are a deal-breaker. The reviews didn't mention the threat of a locked bootloader...
http://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-locks-bootloader-on-recent-devices/
I've applied for bootloader unlock, but no word back from Xiaomi. Wish now I'd paid extra $100 for a ZUK Z1, Cyanogenmod out of the box.
There are multiple Custom Roms for the Redmi Note 3 available in the official MIUI forum.
All 5.1.1 Custom Roms:
CM 12.1:http://en.miui.com/thread-210418-1-1.html
MoKee: http://en.miui.com/thread-215319-1-1.html
BlissPop: http://en.miui.com/thread-214718-1-1.html
PAC-Man:http://en.miui.com/thread-214488-1-1.html
Resurrection Remix: http://en.miui.com/thread-215699-1-1.html
Flyme OS:http://en.miui.com/thread-213952-1-1.html
All 5.0.2 Custom Roms:
AOSP:http://en.miui.com/thread-210071-1-1.html
SphinX (Based on stock):http://en.miui.com/thread-207019-1-1.html
DEV Global Rom (Based on stock):http://en.miui.com/thread-214146-1-1.html
But because all the non Stock Roms are based on Redmi Note 2 Roms, the fingerprint sensor isn't working and 4G is only working on SIM slot 1. On SIM slot 2 only 2G is working.
With the Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 650 model being available, im guessing getting CM13 running onto that will be a easier task?
What rom can supporting all sensor for Redmi Note 2?

Runnig any version of cyanogenmod will be a easier task, because Snapdragon processors are officially supported by the cyanogen team and MediaTek processors are not.

That is not necessarily true. Android One devices are supported - they are mediatek but their source code is released as they are google supported. So its more to do with source code than anything else.

Yeah you're right but I think in this case it will be a easier task because as I know MediaTek didn't published the kernel source code for the normal Redmi Note 3 (not sure). So creating/porting cm for Redmi Note 3 Pro will be easier because Qualcom publishes many of their kernel source codes.
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
Can someone please help me debug a custom rom I made for Asus Zenfone 3 Laser, ported from Xiaomi Redmi 3s. BOTH IS OREO 8.0.0, and the same chipset of SNAPDRAGON 430.
What I did was port the boot.img, it booted up, but wifi, bluetooth, navigation keys, fingerprint, camera, sounds, and hotspot won't work. I've tried porting the system files from the stock to port rom and edit the update-script, also tried these methods:

I'm at a loss I don't know what to do, maybe someone here at xda forums can help me with my problem. My devices doesn't have any support for a custom rom even a device tree.

I don't have this device myself but, I had performed a quick search and located the following (what looks like) the thread for this specific firmware. That thread is there for member Support and Guidance.

Will Realme release source code for Realme 6? Thoughts....
Seems it was released two months ago
github.com/realme-kernel-opensource/realme6-kernel-source
Ain't anyone developing custom rom for it?
Why isn't any one making custom ROMs for realme 6??
The redmi note 8 pro with the same chipset as realme 6 is very much a head in terms of custom ROMs and custom recoveries, developers have been doing so much hard work to bring custom ROMs to redmi note 8 pro as redmi devices especially with mediatek chipsets are tuff to get unbricked if something wrong due to the wierd EDL mode in their devices,compared to that realme devices don't have such user restrictions when compared to redmi devices,many people are eagerly waiting for custom ROMs for realme 6,please look into this thread,and can any one tell me at which time we will be seeing custom ROMs for this device.. thank you

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.
github.com
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
