This ROM is in no way suitable for daily use and is only shared so that other fellow developers can take a look and maybe provide fixes to one or multiple things on the "not working" list.
Take it as a very early proof of concept.
ROM DOWNLOAD: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358554238
What I did to get this far...
1. I took the MI3W miui-germany ROM
2. I unpacked the MI3W's ROM
3. I unpacked the boot.img of the MI3W ROM (zImage, dt.img, ramdisk)
4. I patched the fstab.qcom and init*.rc files to match the Find 7a
5. I unpacked the latest OmniROM for Find7a
6. I unpacked the boot.img of OmniROM (zImage, dt.img, ramdisk)
7. I copied zImage and dt.img from OmniROM's extracted boot.img into MI3W's extracted boot.img
8. I repacked the MI3W boot.img
9. I bundled the MI3W system partition with the modified MI3W boot.img and uploaded it onto the internet for someone else to iron out the remaining bugs
What seems to work...
*) Basic Operation (MIUI apps, status bar, well what you would expect really)
*) Bluetooth
*) Wired Headset / Bluetooth Audio
*) RIL / Mobile Data
*) GPS
What doesn't work... yet...
*) WiFi (there seems to be some issues with wcnss / pronto / prima, this one is bad...)
*) Random Reboots / Blackscreen Glitches (from what kmsg tells me it seems to be related to wcnss, aka. WiFi drivers causing a critical error in kernel every once in a while, fix WiFi and this error will fix itself)
*) Speaker Audio
*) Rotation Sensor (and probably others)
*) Vibration
*) Skyline Notification Light
*) NFC

Good things always have the obstacles.
You've done your part. And let other(s) help you.
I don't have knowledge about cooking a ROM.
But I think someone can help. @Entropy512, can you look at this one?
If you want mae some cool port, i thikn sense rom is good candidate...
Great work
hey there mrcoldbird,
great work so far...keep it up..will definately help support you on this when it is up and running..i am not a dev but if you need someone to just bug report i am there for you,will keep my eyes n ears peeled on the thread and as soon as it's near ready i will flash and help you anyway i can...thank you for all your hard work so far
Right now we need developers involved in this. We know the countless obvious bugs.
Just have to fix them.
Awesome work. Thanks bird. Any chance you want to try lewa os while you're at it. I personally think it is better. I imagine just how busy you are but just wanted to throw it out there
Porting really should only be done when there is no source available for said ROM.
For unicorn a source rebuild might be better.

no news about this rom
I was actually searching for people to help me with this but no one bit the bait yet.
I am continually working on MIUI, bit by bit... but due to reallife interference it goes... slowly.

Lewa OS is extremely similar to MIUI and that is why I even bothered to mention it. I know the developer is having some trouble with MIUI so I thought it would be useful and helpful to mention Lewa as it might be a project that will help the development of either or rom.
Please don't take a blunt tone with me (if that's what it was) as it only makes you look arrogant. Taking in to account our post and thanks scores it is quite clear who has contributed in a more positive way towards XDA. On that note; you might also want to thank MrColdbird in the OP for his contribution, which you have not done as of yet but you seem to be poking your nose in to the thread
That is all
Edit* I apologise MrColdbird if my suggestion was unwarranted.

I am setting up a build environment and will be looking in to it; starting with wifi. I think I might check out lewa as well.
good luck
I've pm one of the Miui dev from note 1 community, and hope that he willing to lend his hand for you @MrColdbird.
Mr @Gerrett, can you help him? If you got some free time. I know you so busy. But at least, just a little guide for him.

Actually I've got 99% of the issues resolved already by using a different port-rom in conjunction with a few OmniROM injects.
At the moment only the proximity sensor (screen off on holding the phone to your ear) and nfc are broken, lte works, but needs to be reselected every time the phone reboots via the service menu (dialer code).
Sadly, I'm not allowed to share that (quite nicely working) ROM just yet as I switched port-bases to a unreleased chinese one in favor of the MI3W port-base.
Until that chinese author releases his first public port base-rom I'm kinda bound by the promise I gave not to unveil things early.
Just hang in there, it shouldn't be long until you guys have MIUI on Find7a... all I can tell you is that it works nicely and without any critical flaws I can see except those mentioned above (which we will get fixed too eventually).

Anyone's working on an Ubuntu Touch port?
It would be interesting to see and there is enough material to build Ubuntu Touch/ Sailfish OS on the crackling.
The Swift doesn't support MHL, so Convergence being the most talked about feature is a no-go sadly

I wanted to do all out Microsoft but I doubt a lot of people would use it. But anyways I wanted to throw in Temaseks kernel along with Phonograph. V4a. Pre-installrd xposed. The new cm theme engine. Everything
Nice! I will be looking forward to check out your build.
Just for clarification- Convergence is the Ubuntu naming for switching between "phone" mode and desktop-like mode when connected to external monitor. Nothing to do with DivergenMod

Hi, Do you have any builds already? I have found only Firefox OS builds based on CyanogenMod that might be helpful for you.

It looks really fake...
No..it's a fake..when you try to download the rom from the link in the description, you will find surveys..anywhere, umeaboy was working on a cyano for edge plus..but anything yet.
I'm tired of touchwiz roms..i really want to try aosp!
I think it's a fake
They got cm13 booting up over in the note 5 forums... it works on edge plus but the navbar and capacitive buttons don't work with our s6 edge plus
Yes..i've found a build on the note 5 forum, it may works on edge plus, the bugs are:
No camera
Youtube videos not works
Text messages causes reboot
I can't live without camera, so i'll flash this rom as a secondary rom, with the dual boot app..now i'm not at home...later i'm going to download it and try it..
I'll keep you updated!
Bye
If we can get a proper kernel working on it with our device it should be a decent tester
Ok..installed as a primary rom..dual boot is not working.
The rom seems to be working, but..there are a lot of bugs..of course.
Not a daily drive, but just this, it's another step.
I forgot that you can't play your music..if you try to riproduce a song with a music player, or simply a file manager, your phone will reboot.
Remember, if you want to try it..you have to flash cm and then, without reboot the system, flash the gapps, wipe cache e dalvik, and reboot.
Keep it in mind, you can't use it as a daily drive.
Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian.

Now i'm returning to river rom...happy for tested this first aosp build, i hope that someone will work on a good kernel and fix the various bug.
Anyway...the aosp experience mixed with the dual edge display is very cool!
Really wish there was an identifiable community for any AOSP on our device :/
i wish there was ubuntu or debian, even maemo/meego will do , android is so one sided and borring

I honestly can't grasp why we do not have the availability of Ubuntu Touch on these devices.
The Meizu Pro 5 came with an Ubuntu Touch model on the idenical Soc/Specs.
I agree all too well about one sidedness, especially putting up with samsung >.<
honestly, samsungs are nice devices but they start to be like apple , i mean locked on every aspect, no mods, people give up on these devices of samsng bcuz the stupid xynos cpu or w/e since samsung dont release the codes to make a custom rom like s3 with archidroid/debian , seriously samsungis gonna lose its custommers if they keep this up

But obviously they released enough to Meizu for them to release a slew of AOSP on the Exynos7420 SoC, like literally
Stock decisions of; Ubuntu Touch or FlymeOS,
CM13/14 was available for download, not sure how that's going currently.
But i just can't grasp why we aren't seeing any love on the other side?

most likely because galaxy s8 is already coming ,and so no use in continueing s6 witch is 2 generations lower, samsung release phones to fast to keep up with apple, witch i so dislike apple ****
cm14 already eh , tobad pierdebeer is the only dev arround for this device, everyone gave up already

Agreed, its just so sad to realize if I want anything actually custom on this thing I either have to put in some hrs of work, & have a wicked internet connection.
Or purchase from Asia for the same SoC from a different manufacturer :/

Wow that's a lot of ROMs. No disrespect but honestly tho.. why so many? Is it mostly just different looks or other tweaks for some and not others?

Cuz it's "options".. No one can say "why not this/that one..??" Now ppl have a selection to see for themselves, find out which one they like or prefer.. How many other devices have such a large selection? Not many, if any besides maybe the Warp Sync N9515 have as many ROM options.. Some will stay updated, depending on the ROM teams, many won't. So from here the question becomes: Which do ya like the most?? I'm finding new ROMs here and there, each with it's own tweaks and benefits. Most we wouldn't have known about cuz most ppl just build the same 5 ROMs per device.. Just throwing it all out there
I tried out Orion and I'm really loving the performance of it. ONLY thing I wish it had was to move the Recent list "clear all" button to the bottom to be always visible. Suppose there is no way without having another ROM that offers that to get it? I chose Orion because it seemed to be the most tweaked and had newer commits to it. Battery is great and it is way snappier than stock.

Many of the ROMs are really great, some have tradeoffs but Orion is nice and Slim with a few extras. Great to hear, Thank You. Working on some more now..
- OP updated with addition of IncipientOS & XenonHD ROMs, they both have August 5, 2018 Security Patch.
- Updated builds of Candy ROM, CrDroid, Lineage, MoKee with August 05, 2018 security patches.. ENJOY!!

can you tell me if these roms include the native hotspot mod that usually comes with cyanogenmod and various others? i've noticed that people seldomly list this as a feature anymore, yet it's excluded pretty frequently as well... i haven't been able to get the provisioning thing in build.prop working on all the devices i've used, so i look for a rom that includes it whenever i can.

Thanks bro! Yes, I am/was a musician but those days are few and far between anymore. Is there something wrong with the PayPal link? I'll check it out. And thanks again for the kind words, I agree with ya on the ridiculous data issues, they eat us up like crazy! The hotspot is a very much big deal for me too as my device is usually my only internet out in the woods so I try to make sure it's 100%, Lol.

Well the hotspot on Hexagon; i don't think is fixed because it allowed me to use my 8GB and i had to start using bluetooth for the time being. maybe i can flash another one and it'll work again. also, i don't know if its your rom or not because i didn't manage to get past the bug but, i wanted to try crdroid or whatever it was called. the one with the egyptian eye symbol, but anyway, during the setup process of that rom, it had some kind of little loop going on. right at the beginning, it asks if you want to restore your apps or something, ya know? and then so i'll put yes, from a google account; etc and no matter what route i take from there it leads me back to the first setup screen where you choose language.
it's a clean flash, wiped everything, and installed the rom, then open_gapps aroma, boots up fine, but the setup is jacked up. i tried it twice, but i didn't really go through any serious troubleshooting steps, i just flashed on a clean wipe, then flashed it right back over itself, thinking maybe a file was corrupt or something like that. got the same result twice, and i just restored my aosp extended install because i was having withdrawal symptoms from spotify. i don't really dig hexagon, so i guess i will give crdroid another shot and see how it behaves this time.
oh maybe i should mention, i didn't use this crdroid link, i used one that i found in your androidfilehost account under this device. i never looked to see if this one's newer, so maybe that explains it?

i also was disappointed by tipsy sadly. i've been a pretty big advocate of people using tipsy rom for a few years, since i tried it on my moto e lte phone back then, it's really a pretty clean distro. unfortunately, the one ported over in this post doesn't seem have any fingerprint scanning functionality in it, so that kind of chaps my satchel. didn't really like viper either. i'll try 'em all eventually, probably. i'm a compulsive flasher. i may need to update my titanium backup or something though, i haven't been able to restore accounts/data usage on any of these 7.1 roms so far. kinda sucks putting all that in manually because i have very secure passwords that i can't memorize very easily. the wifi passcodes and known networks restores, as well as my bluetooth pairings.

You're OK, it's great to hear feedback and I thank you. Yes, sometimes I have a cpl different versions of ROMs in AFH and indeed, did update it from v3.8.8 to v3.8.9. I change my DL links in my AndroidForums threads.. Not everything I upload to afh is recommended for flashing because some are experimental or have issues I haven't worked out so plz be careful, Lol.
Also, I've never had much success with aroma gapps on this device so I stuck with a smaller one like Nano gapps, plus I set every ROM flash up as a new device. Then usually DL everything else a bit later after a reboot or two (but that's me)
i wonder if aroma gapps had something to do with my call screen error. the other day, i think my dialer app vanished or something crazy because whenever i'd recieve a phone call; i had no way of answering it unless i was using a bluetooth device at the time, but i never saw the 'in-call' screen at any point. also, i couldn't call out either. it would start the call, because i'd see my signal icon change to something else, and the only response i could get from the call i was in is a popup that said something about "return to call in progress" but didn't return me to it. i tried a lot of stuff with the google dialer software, because i assumed it was an issue with that. i ended up just dumping that and trying tipsy and hexagon and viper at that point.

have you tried restoring a TWRP backup on this device yet? i've only restored a backup of AOSPEX, but when it's through and android finally boots back up to the lock screen, whatever type of screen lock i have on the phone is changed so that i am forced to factory reset my restored backup. lol
like i said, i haven't restored any other roms, but it does it with AOSPEX every single time. if i have a fingerprint, my fingerprints won't work. if it's a pattern, the pattern has changed, and same with a PIN as well. i've never seen that one before but it was so odd that i didn't even really get upset, i sort of found it amusing.

I read somewhere that it's part of a security feature of FRP (Factory Reset Protection) in all N+ ROMs and ya have to go to each ROM ya used and added a fingerprint lock, then remove the F-print. Always remove the stored prints before switching to a different ROM/OS

You're OK, it's great to hear feedback and I thank you. Yes, sometimes I have a cpl different versions of ROMs in AFH and indeed, did update it from v3.8.8 to v3.8.9.

To fix your phone issue go to Settings>Apps>"Gear Icon">Phone App and select your current dialer.
What happens is if the dialer included in the ROM is replaced by gapps the new dialer isn't set as your default dialer. The ROM can't find the old dialer anymore so it just doesn't show anything.

i actually figured this one out a couple days later, while i was just browsing to see if it was missing some permissions, but thank you at any rate. good tip. it seems like if you back off of the scene for a little while, it's a little rough trying to relearn all the things that have been changed in android. i have been using an older moto e (the 2015 LTE model) for probably three or four years, and then onto a samsung j3 which was awful. so a lot of procedure and stuff like systemless modifications has changed. what happened to xposed man? lol

Xposed became an inherent & near guaranteed SafetyNet check fail so almost all ROMs removed it from source to reduce the bug posts caused by Xposed.. Since it can still be installed with a flashable zip and Magisk also has a systemless version Xposed to help reduce SafetyNet fails. MoKee ROM still had it built-in until recently and I'll be updating.. LOS, AOKP, MoKee, and something else as soon as I finish figuring out how to totally unbrick my owens. Had it booting from an sdcard the other day and messed something else up so I'm back to square 1 for the moment. Me, @SuperR. and our ole buddy goose03 trying to help make a fastboot flashable FW for 44-12 to finish the unbrick job. If Moto had this already available, our work would be cut in half, Lol. It's going slow but we're trying since more ppl need this than just us and it'd be a great help to the community.
So y'all swing by @SuperR. 's Kitchen threads and tell him thank you for his work, cuz without his kitchen we'd probably not have even gotten this far. He has 2 versions, free and Donate ($15) but the Donate version excels in capabilities, options, has many plugins and the Donate version is what I use.

Magisk module maybe? I'd look to see if there's something available for that.
Are you running LOS as a GSI? Looking at possibly rooting my device, but I didn't wanna use a GSI if possible.

Thanks for the help! Yeah I'm running a GSI. The only ones that worked was LOS and I think havoc. Havoc was very off-putting so I chose LOS. The module you suggested doesn't work. I tried it a week ago and it targets Oreo ROMs. I was hoping for a kernel. Thanks for the help.

Gotcha. Yeah after reading the description, I started wondering about that.
What's your experience with running a GSI? Pros? Cons?

Lol, it's cool my dude! Well.... I have to say that my preferred ROMs are, AOSP Extend, ArrowOS, CypherOS and Paranoid Android. None of those work on this tablet so I'm using LOS. That bring said, it's okay. The stylus works along with everything else. The only downside is no exFat! I can't watch my movies on this thing. Most of my movies are a bit over 4GB files so it kinda sucks.
I mostly use the tablet to draw and browse Reddit and here. I do my comic book and other reading on my MiPad 4. It's so much more comfortable to use. I just wished there was a better case for it.
I'm gonna see what GSIs have been updated and probably test other ROMs. If you don't mind the blandness of LOS, I recommend it.

I've never had an issue with LOS, but that's probably cuz I like minimalism in my devices.. but when it comes to bugs or anything, is it stable, would you say? And as nice as exFAT is, I typically use EXT4 some I'm a big Linux guy.
Do you use any of the Samsung apps by any chance? I use the notes app and PDF editor and wasn't sure if they're usable
@champ784 my issue with LOS is that it has little customization when compared to other ROMs. As far as bugs go, I haven't seen any. The Samsung+ or whatever app is present so you can just the apps I guess. I don't use any of them but they are there. You can make a TWRP backup before you try any GSIs. If you don't like any of them you can just flash back. Just make sure got make sure you go up your files elsewhere or you'll end up with a huge image.

Gotcha, sounds good! Thanks!
You can compile a new version of vold that will work with newer versions of android.
Also, Exfat should work fine on this version - https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v123
Seems to also work fine in Havoc, plus you get a lot of customization back.
