Most of the TWRP projects are gone, official one is only for the PRO (vayu) version.
At this point we don't have single trustworthy recovery (except limited LOS), and still bunch of available custom ROMs.
Which version can we use with some security?

Is there a reason why every custom ROM seems to go treble? There's no real proven benefit when having unofficial treble. As one of the LineageOS devs said on their subreddit:
You don't get treble. You have it or you don't. All those "ported treble" are plain fake and they don't have the same capabilities of the "real" treble (the one that you have on your device out of the box or from your manufacturer as a stock ROM update).
This because treble requires appropriate changes to the proprietary files (those stored on the vendor partition) that a device without "stock/real" treble won't have

There's only one partition instead of both. The one for seamless updates is missing (I think).
As for treble ROMs, they are pretty much a gimmick unless devs actually make use of them. But I have seen reddit comments about people trying out generic system images via treble TWRP: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/8ac2gc/project_treble_is_amazing_and_because_of_this_my/
You can try it for yourself: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659
https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/
What this could mean is, in 2 years if dev support drops for the Note 4, you may still be able to get the most recent version of AOSP or some other ROM as a generic system image. No need to wait around for devs to create ROMs or compile one yourself.
And this thread is helpful how? It will take time, as anything else.
This might not be the most popular/widespread model, and so custom rom development will be slow/limited. Most will probably jump for the "big gun" K20 PRO with SD855 seing the price difference is small, unless they need the extra global LTE bands.
It seems to be supported by xiaomi.eu though? or does this not qualify as a custom rom for some reason?
stable version:
The MI9T / K20 / davinci does not appear in the supported devices list over here, but it does show up in the downloads section over here
weekly:
It does show up in the supported devices list over here, but does not show up in the downloads section here.
So I'm not sure what's going on here.

Me too i was confused, and i have ask question about support, in k20/mi9t device forum thread .
they said that it is supported.
and on xiaomi site about downloads roms, k20/mi9t has only global stable, while chines version has developer 9.6.20. and if it is xeu rom based on chines, i dont know why there is no at least xeu developer 9.6.20 version of rom.
Kernel source also broke, that's not helpful for building custom roms.
I think global rom =indian rom and for Chinese only release build is created
Hello,
Currently I'm using the good old unofficial TWRP 3.2.3-0 with encryption support, however I would like to update. Does the official versions from twrp.me website support encrypted phones? Would like to know before messing something up
Thanks!
Hi all!
So I have a weird question. I've got a device with a "global" ROM variant that falls short of the features offered to it's "native" market.
The Chinese variant of this devices ROM is feature rich and utilizes the devices hardware better than the poorly implemented "global" version.
Custom recovery, or TWRP, is available on my devices Chinese ROM, and the members of my community are installing Gapps ARM64 9.0 Pico overtop of it. But it's not the best it can be in terms of launcher support and network connectivity. Any suggestions? There are a lot of us that feel ripped off by our device's manufacturer, and would love your support!
Hello,
It's been a while I update myself about what's going on here. Please I would like to do full custom ROM installation on my 3 years old pocophone F1. I would to know step by step to follow. I am on stock ROM MIUI global 12.0.3 stable. And I haven't done anything on the phone as regarding to development area.
Please where do I start from if I want to run custom ROM on the phone with necessary things that won't make me regrets my actions?
Thanks all in anticipation.
Please let me know where to start from? I don't want to do what I know nothing about.
crDroid is an excellent choice. In my other devices I regularly change ROMs but in F1 it's been crDroid pretty much exclusively other than a brief dalliance with a few others in the beginning. Since you are on the latest MIUI, after unlocking bootloader, which wipes all data, you need to first flash the recovery of your choice, TWRP or Orangefox etc. Once that is done just need to flash the crDroid ROM zip which includes the Vendor and Firmware. If you are new to custom ROMs better to start with the crDroid 7.15 which is the final A11 build. A12 builds are pretty stable but several features are missing compared to it's predecessor which will be added in the coming months. A12 installation is a bit convoluted for now as the recoveries haven't been updated to handle it yet. A11 builds don't come encrypted by default.
