Petition to create MIUI ROMS for Xperia S to Xiaomi

Hello, guys.
As far as you know, some time ago Xiaomi stopped supporting our device, so, basically, after official 4.1 had come out, we have to inform them about that. So, if we gather together, we can get a nice and fast ROM for our device in some time. In my opinion, it's one of the best ROMs, and I personally think that it's really important for our device. Thanks.

They simply cant support the device because of problem which could BRICK our phones. For safety reasons they discontinued support.
They cannot be blamed. They do awesome job.

If they develop under the Offcial Kernel they don't have that problem... or am I mistaken ?!
Previous versions ran over stock kernel, over Locked Bootladers... and where simply amazing!

That are just false pretenses. There can't be anything that can brick our phone. Let me remind you, that a firmware consists of a bunch of /system files and a kernel. They can simply take an official kernel and edit it a bit. Even if so, we can just reflash it using fastboot. One more time, there is nothing that can brick our phone.

Their main reason May be that so you would force them to reveal the changes they always to the kernel under the GPL and this company has never followed the GPL.

That won't help us. At least the petition can be our chance.

Your not gonna find much help here. MIUI is not respected here to begin with. Your best bet is to try their site. As MIUI is on it's way to being banned from every tech site due to their lack of following the GPL and stealing of other developers work. I wish you luck but don't hold out to hope.

Well, he probably meant it in limits of MIUI ROMs.

Porting pixel

Now that we have kernel sources can we port the pixels camera or do we still need a few more things? Also when can we expect to see some roms that use the kernel sources for this device?

Well the kernels were only released 5 minutes ago...

Hi guys , I have talked with a owner of Nexus 6P | Nexus 5x | Pixel | LG V20 and Developer of roms for this phones , and he makes the WETA Rom for this devices.
The first talk I had with him I asked him if we could get him a Mi5s if he could do a Nexus/Pixel experience for our Mi5s and seeing that he has a Pixel and some Nexus I think he would be perfect to Build a nice Pixel Rom for our devices.
But to do this we would have to make a Funding so we could get him a Mi5s.
What do you think about this?

It would be cool. And it can be arranged.
But look, the developer buys the phone, makes the firmware on it, what differences will it have from AOSP? A camera from a pixel?
I think the main thing that people are interested in is the creation of a mod that replaces the standard image processing libraries with similar ones from a Google pixel.
WETA rom will also be interesting, is it the focus on the audio capabilities of the phone?

I think we could ask him if he could port the Pixel Camera and it's capabilities to the Rom seeing that the Pixel has the same Sensor.
But yeah basically the WETA Rom as I understood it is focused on the Audio Capabilities and in Stability.
But the only thing is that we would have to join forces so we could all just donate 1€ or something like that and get him a Mi5s.

Okay, you personally know him?) In any case, I think we need to first ask about the camera, it's about porting the algorithms to mi5s)
As soon as you ask him, keep us informed, because its very interesting :highfive:

We need more information, then, i think, donation won't be a problem.

I don't personally know him , I just reached out to him when I bought my Mi5s so I could get an ideia if any Dev with a Pixel would be interested in developing Roms to the Xiaomi Mi5s
And he answered me with a positive note back at that time , now I have reached out to him again to see if he is still interested in making a Rom to our Mi5s in case we could get him one and as soon as he answers me I will ask him about the camera. Because as all of us , I too want a Pixel perfect Rom for our Xiaomi Mi5s , it would be the Cherry on top of the cake.

I would also make a bit of donations for his phone

i used weta on my previous gs6 and i must say, stable and good rom. Dev was quick in answering in that days..
I have faith in him

Hi there , guys I'm sorry to have taken so much time to answer you, but this is because the Weta Dev stop answering me I don't know why.
I have talked with another Dev's from the Pixel Section and 3 Devs have answered me with a positive atitude saying that they wouldn't mind to try to Make a Pixel rom for our Mi5s.
Are you guys still interested in trying to get Money to buy them a Mi5s and seeing with they can do it?
Best regards

Oh yes

Yea

Okay, where do we start?

So where do we start?
I guess first we should choose which one of the Dev's we want to try it seeing that we have more than one.
Second I think would be to make a new Thread to see how many people can donate and see if we could get the money to buy the device.

Kernel sources are out. But don't expect much development here.. If u really care about development then 7x is not for YOU
Development will start after some times for sure. But don't expect like other manufacturer devices...
For me i really don't care about custom roms.. I only need root and TWRP. I got both these in 7x. So very much happy

I think you'll be fine because of project treble, not sure though

I'll tell you an advice, if you want to buy a phone for development of custom ROMs, just go with a snapdragon device (like Xiaomi, Motorola, OnePlus...etc)

What do u need roms for basically? i come from the nexus to the pixel and then oneplus community.
being addicted to rom flashing every other day and used to waste a lot of time
EMUI is great and has almost all the functions. except for root i dont even need much.
With treble all the major development teams will release updates anyway in future.

Nice!

At this point I think that, like us who bought the Mi8 Pro, has bought a phone born dead. No support from Xiaomi, no updates, no modding, not even security patches

I still keep hope in deep heart.

What exactly is this source code for?

Sorry, just a noob question, why this model don't is supported from community? No Rom, no modding, nothing of nothing, is so different from Mi8 (dipper)?

complete kernel source release?

Is there anyone who knows that when complete kernel source will get released.
And when will get a custom rom our device.

Care to share which ROM you're in the dev team of? I'm sorry but the one thing being a member of XDA for close to 8 years had taught me is that some people like to lie about being a developer. It's such an inconvenience to other members that want to experience something positive.
