Redmi 1S Kernel source to be released in early Q1 2015 [ Update - Released ]

Update 2 - The source has now been released on Github !! Here it is -
https://github.com/MiCode/H1S_kernel
Enjoy and Happy New Year
Update 1 - Donovan Sung, kernel development head of Xiaomi has himself confirmed on MIUI forum that he's going to release the sources on 31st December 2014.. So guys rejoice, bugless Lollipop isn't far away !!
Guys.. Today I have got good news for you all... A friend of mine emailed Xiaomi Kernel Development head asking when they are going to release the source code for the public !! This was the reply he got from him ( See attached image )

that is a good news! its better late than never. but I guess for a device like this, pushing kernel source while releasing the product is very very imp. It limits its true power. due to this restriction cm12 development is getting seriously delayed.
and the weird thing is, my old device huawei y300 is getting cm12 nightly as early as 1st week of dec. The build is ready and almost everything is working. only some minor bugs, which will be polished. and here devs are working hard to get the primary source ready. its a real pity!

It is really a very good news.It may also happens that our redmi will enter into the android one device list that earlier told by hugo bara.:highfive:

Can you post more details? Maybe show the full email sent by your friend?

That's the complete mail. 1st one for Hugo Barra. And 2nd one was the forwarded mail.

See the next post after yours.. I mean the one above this !! He posted full details.....

Glad to see at least it will be released [emoji3]
i spammed a lot in miui forum about this...finally found it win
Dreaming to get a Custom kernel

Early Q1 could be two months from now (at least), I wouldn't call it a win, it's really really late. Also, this is a private email not an official announcement, I'm sorry but I don't really trust them. They could be answering that in the email so they don't get more requests to release kernel sources in a while. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with Xiaomi, each day they remind me a little bit more to Huawei...

Bro.. Its better late than never !! And they will surely release it.. Same was the case with Mi2, they released the kernel source of this device after 9-10 months of release but they did release it !! Redmi 1S was released in May, so you can expect the kernel source to released by February !!

Coming from a mi3 user...ppl in our forum are really pissed with unavailability of the sources till date...we have received many such egs from mr Barra(he'll release in a week or so)but nothing has happened....hope it's for real this time

Wow bro
Hats off
Can't wait xP

Nevermind. If anywhere else you can found something related to that is best to post there and NOT to make new thread. That is for a better management of topics. This is XDA forum and things must remain clear and simple.

the thing is they waited for redmi note release as these devices are almost same on spec sheet so he used those above words. As of now i think there wont be any delay in the release as there is no upcoming device with the same spec (because they didnt even announce or release any even in china) so we can trust him. if else he postpones it lol our cm12 will get postponed so hope for best

Actually his statements are baseless and just fools talk because No Kernel Source can give you specs of device if deconfig is removed hence he can release the sources anytime he is just pushing it to keep Xiaomi has closed source to the extend he can :silly::cyclops:

Apparently you should have seen the thread in MIUI forum by Donovan where he mentioned the crap that Redmi 1s kernel has some code which could jeopardise the future products from Xiaomi and sources would be released by Dec end. He got bashed so badly that his thread had to be deleted to maintain decorum in the forum. I hope he got a taste of what it is like fooling the customers which such BS.
Its pretty obvious that they don't want end users to have the freedom to tweak their devices so that they get the best.
The point mentioned by Jackeagle was also quoted many times that with little modification, device config could be removed, so as he rightly pointed out 'Keeping it as Closed as possible'.
Edit: link is working again.

They think We are fools.
Xiaomi Making fools to thier customers and nothing.

Just remembering good old Redmi 1s development #throwback lucky to be part of Armani forum , thank you all devs

Android 7 Nougat for UMI Z

Hi guys,
because this is one of the most asked questions, I wanted to keep this thread with the most actual information.

Hi,
That answer was written by me. Until now that's all what we know but hopefully it can be released much sooner. Unfortunately, nothing is certain yet.
We'll inform the community as soon as we can promise at least an approximate release date.

I have not seen many UMI brand phones which have released source codes, but I was wondering if you have any plans of releasing the kernel sources and/or full sources for this device.
I am looking to buy this phone, but I would like to be able to compile my own kernel and ROM for the devices I own

dont be waiting for nougat.i have a z3+ with nougat and in android N everything is worse than mm

The new Ulefone Gemini Pro was presented last week on MWC 2017.
http://www.stuff.tv/my/features/ulefone-gemini-pro-almost-carbon-copy-iphone-7-plus
This phone also has a X27 SoC, but it is already running Android 7.0.
So Mediatek released Nougat-drivers for X27 a few weeks ago to Ulefone.

This makes me sad.

Well its quite possible some dev could work some magic , bet the main boards are not too different from a reference board by mediatek , umi spec has well known components for screen and camera so possible to hack a port from same soc or even just tweak a few drivers and swap kernal ...we need a dev

Are there any sources out?

Not from UMI, there are phones with mtek socs running nougat , there seems to be phones with other components the same running nougat. So the ingredients are out, problem is cooking this into a working ROM would be a big job.
I recall when mm came out my HTC had a hacked together version that worked quite well, but the source for loli was out so there was a starting point.
Linage os would clearly be the place to start , find a mtek soc based ROM an hack I guess, beyond me , but someone who understands could prob work something

I hope they release soon so we can get you a customized rom, because the original is leaving to be desired, its customization is very bad. Congratulations to all programmers who are interested in customizing a rom for our Z.

Looks like it won't be too long now till 7 beta ....

Waiting anxiously ....

That would be really cool! Even if it's only a soak test.

Yawn! Color me totally underwhelmed.

People have to keep in mind that devs need the official oreo to fix bugs and other stuff in oreo roms for our Potter. Some might not care and I get that, but we still need the stock oreo rom.

Is it 64 or 32 bits?

Kernel version though..

What's up with the kernel version? Sure, it's not the newest update at 3.18.71, though apparently this is to ensure Qualcomm and other driver providers can keep supporting the chips. I'm hoping that Treble can make this simpler for those devices with native Treble support...
Rebasing to a new kernel version during an upgrade is tricky. QCOM and other chipset vendors tend to stick with a particular kernel version for the lifetime of a chipset family, and just backport the desirable features and fixes. If we move the kernel "ahead" of our chipset vendor then they have a much harder time supporting us. Since we try to get the upgrades out as quickly as possible, we stay aligned with the chipset vendor's kernel as much a possible.
I suspect that Google will continue to pressure chipset vendors to keep their kernels up-to-date, so maybe we will see some changes in 2018. We will also ask Google to consider a kernel update as a "security update" rather than an a full-fledged upgrade. This removes a number of barriers to getting new kernels into the handsets of consumers as quickly as possible.

ETA for official Android 9?

That's really embressing that LG didn't make any solid statement and gave an ETA for Android 9 while others are already rolling out...
Someone have an internal info about ETA?

Theoretically it will be released in January or February but nothing confirmed from LG. It probably takes so much time because Android 8.0 treble support is not as good as 8.1 so they have to rework it.
