Can anybody compile lineage os 18.1 for this device?
I know there is the GSI ROM for this device and I have been using it, but it has bugs. Would be great to get a device specific rom. Thanks!

What is the reason for this? Is media tek considered worse than snapdragon?

Xiaomi has started equipping models with soc mediatek for the Indian market.
To have the source code for the development you have to pay a license to Mediatek for each model and then pay teams of developers, which would have increased the price of these phones in India and would not have been profitable.
(he was also banned in 2014 from selling xiaomi to soc mediatek in India).

I've heard that Xaomi releases the source code of some of the Mediatek SoC .
Note :- Mediatek doesn't release the source code to the public , it only releases them to the smartphone manufacturers which uses their SoC.

GPS is broken in Lineage 18.1. Speaker volume is low for calls, but fine when using whatsapp / telegram. Also screen fades in the sun, very annoying.

Read my post here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gps-very-laggy-and-broken.4435975 . It doesn't matter which GSI rom you use, it is broken on all of them since the core comes from AOSP by phhuson and GPS is broken there as well.

Plz can anyone know how to fix this?
I have tried many lib files, but non of them r working
Plz help on it to fix this issue

Your issue is gonna be a kernel issue and without the source there is nothing you can do. It is a common issue with devices running that chip set. That's why developers don't touch devices with it.

Yes I'm saying that without a proper kernel then there will be things that just can't be fixed. Normally things like the camera and wifi radios. You might be able to hack your way through it but it will take weeks of searching through the code.
The kernel source code is the base code that is required by law to be published for any device that runs a Linux kernel (any android device) the issue with that chip set is they are based in China and dont respect copyright laws or the GPL.

If it's still actual for you (2 years, but still...), mediatek has laid off some kernel and AOSP sources for mt65xx series. Also check out this repo: github.com /bq/aquaris-E5, it has some code for your chip and other Mediatek stuff.
Also you have few other options:
Build your ROM around existing (official) kernel, adding more drivers as .ko's. I've had certain success adding some USB drivers like that.
Use some .so's from your original ROM. Sometimes manufacturers don't provide sources for libcamera.so/libcamera_client.so (camera), libhardware.so/libhardware_legacy.so (wifi and some minor stuff, like vibromotor)
Hi
Please build or port an Aosp rom to our great devices.
If somebody agree with me, please strengthen in it.
Thanks

If you already knew then why did you start a new thread?
Why do some people think that asking for a ROM will make it magically happen faster or something?

Do you use AOSP rom if that rom don't have fingerprint function (because RMN4 use FPC1035 with MTK TrustSonic enabled, it's so hard to port it unless Xiaomi release kernel source code) ?
Most people asking for porting rom from other devices but also demand porting rom have full functions working like original rom which impossible to make it happen...

Yep. As I said in the X20 kernel thread, it's only just the beginning because that's only generic X20 kernel source. ODM's *always* add their own hardware that is not covered by the original kernel source.
Typically, Camera and Sensor drivers were the most difficult to port (with blobs and reverse-engineering stock firmware). But TrustSonic sounds like it will be the biggest task.
Hi guys,
is there any solution to port a rom from this Devices ?
w*ww.kimovil.com/de/liste-smartphones-nach-prozessor/mediatek-helio-x20-mt6797
the Meizu MX6 have the same SOC + Camera and Antutu Score of 98.578
We need Xiaomi to release their source code to create ROMs that work properly.
No way to recompile and reverse engineering ?

The developer of cm14.1 for our device is already working on that. As for porting roms like Huawei ROM, other ROM it depends on whether people are interested or not. It is possible by using the patchrom method. Juts depends on whether people are interested are not. For example, there are people interested in maiing cm14.1 and now we do have an alpha build
Just let the people take their time. this is still a relatively new device.

because I have owned 3 xiaomi devices. Trust me. Like I said, it depends on whether people (developers) are interested or not.
as for cm14.1 update, we will never know.
hi . porting roms mt6797 to our device is it same as porting MT67XX To MT67XX, the way is easy there are many guides on net and videos, because Redmi Note 4 MTK haven't devellopent like SnapDragon version.
I'm looking into the possibility of getting Resurrection Remix Marshmallow AOSP ROM running on the Galaxy A5 2017 device of Model Number(s):
A520F (Single SIM Variant)
A520F/DS (Dual SIM Variant)
I've made time available on my hands as i'm a fan of the ROM and it would be great running it up and functional on this device.
I'm hoping this post increases popularity as to attract experienced developers so i can get all the help i need since building an AOSP ROM such as Resurrection Remix from sctrach is very challenging and time consuming.
The Official A5 2017 AOSP (Devs Only) Whatsapp Group is available for all of the developers who would like to join it in helping me bring this Project to life. If your interested in joining and helping, simply post down below your intention in doing so along with your International Contact Number.
Btw here's the Resurrection OS Marshmallow Source:
https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/platform_manifest/blob/marshmallow/README.mkdn
And here's our device's kernel source which was released by Samsung:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=A520F
I wanna too, for A3 2017
Wasn't there something on the Whatsapp group about collecting donations for an experienced dev to buy this phone so he could port the rom? I would love to see Resurrection Remix on my A520W. Maybe if a post was made on the forum about donating, more people would see it.
I think that it's will be never possible ,because "Exynox" cpu (drivers problems.....like others devices,like some galaxy note...) ...
But it was truth in the past ....and maybe i was wrong now ,i don't know the last development ...

Samsung has released kernel source for A series, so it can be done..
But not many dev is intrested with this phone.. because with the same price u can get better specs on chinese phones op3 etc..

Ha ok ,good new for source .:good:
And yes...pity...samsung (exept "s" series) is less and less interested ...
In the past i loved customs roms but now it's maybe good for low and some middle devices but i think that it's a good "regression" ,we loose some good stock options and functiins (like finger print...etc...)... don't have the full exploitation of photo ...less performance.....etc...(samsung stock patent !!!) But yes....with some customs we can change the size,position and color of the hour,battery...etc...lol ! And cm/lineage sourced is not as "stable" as stock firmware ...
Lineage OS in on the horizon. Maybe this will help inspire other developers to take up the Resurrection Remix project or develop their own custom ROMs. But good things are coming in the future.

I see the thread has been closed and no more users are being added to the group, how can we keep up to date? I'm very interested in this phone but I'm holding back until I can see that LineageOS has a developer/maintainer.

If you hit me up on WhatsApp I can try and get the OP to add you to the group. I'll talk to him that you're interested in helping out with the development of Lineage. But once Nougat drops, I think the resources will be available on GitHub.
I hope install the rom too man. a5 a520f/ds.

Nougat released.
I bought this device 6 months ago and since then I've been curious about custom roms in here, and some time ago they released the kernel source for Kyoto (Motorola Edge 20 Lite)
Currently working on TWRP. It's working but a few more bits to iron out before releasing. Watch this space
As far as custom Roms... Can't help.. GSIs work fine though

Is there hope? I'm a n00b but from what I've heard developing custom ROMs for MediaTek processor is basically impossible.

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.

I would be interested in testing a custom ROM on this device. However, is there any risk of hard-bricking the device beyond the point of no redemption?
I have not been a custom ROM tester before.
