Let me start this with THANK YOU! I said it because I'm a huge custom ROM fan! Before buying 7x, I was like, "It's ending for custom ROMS". As I'm coming from Redmi Note 3, the greatest mid-ranger of all time, I felt very sad for buying 7x. As the custom development for Kirin devices is kinda meh!
But, what I thought is wrong! The geeky dudes are working to bring the bugless ROMS for this device. Almost all major bugs were fixed. The custom ROM development was started successfully! Wait, What? Successful? NOT REALLY!!!!
As an Indian user, I definitely not going to use any custom ROM till that main bug is fixed! Yes, VoLTE is very important thing for Indian Users. Well, devs out there, let us end this.
Please let us know the reason for not fixing VoLTE. Well, I know most of the developers are not from India or they might not use the VoLTE. But, give us that!
Are we going to get VoLTE in Custom ROMS or not? India wants to know! To be frank, I am enough tired coming to xda 7x page, opening custom ROM threads and seeing the bug list.
NOT BLAMING ANYONE, JUST ASKING!

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.

I'll wait, a little bit (I still don't know what variant to get, US or EU)
I want to buy a fone. Any suggestions how much time to recieve custom roms....
dont ask for ETA, I also ordered one Honor 7x too
When a phone is brand new with absolutely NO Roms out yet I'm pretty sure the whole "Don't ask for ETAs" rule doesn't count. Relax. Please be honest with yourself.
This device will only do good (For some people) if it gains dev support. Kirin is closed source from what I understand so development sucks when compared to Honor/Huawei devices with SD chips so inquiring minds will want to know.
I'm ready for an upgrade from my Honor 5X myself but can't pull trigger due to lack of support for 6X or 7X. Honor is good about updates but I need more control over my device (Root, hotspot, and Roms) past the 2 year update standard. I would go to xaiomi redmi unlocked but their US device lacks 1 of the LTE bands I need on AT&T.
Plus I actually really love my Honor 5x device and respect the company for their attempts to make affordable higher end device and come to XDA with so much support on launch of company. I won't for get that but I still need a device soon.

I mean, there's OpenKirin, not sure about this being closed source with kernel sources already released. It depends on which skilled dev feels like picking up this device.

If someone can get a 7X in my hands, I could.

Hahaha I can't send you mine unfortunately
I can confirm that this device is going to be officially supported by OpenKirin as soon as we can get a stable rom running on it.

They've announced it in a thread (OldDroid to be specific)
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to ask a couple questions and start another discussion thread for those of us that have Oreo installed on our devices.
Questions:
With twrp on oreo, what's the status on the flashable version?
Anyone currently or thinking about creating new roms, kernels, etc for the device?
Lastly, what are some things that the nondevs here can do to help us all out?
Hope to see some good discussions
Thanks in advance!
Idk anything about the status of TWRP, so I can't help you there. Overall, I know there was an effort to get a device to a dev, and it was successful. Invisiblek now has one. Looks like he's working on lineage, which is super awesome.
The device now has a repo on the lineage github, so you can see work is being done. As for a timeframe, no clue, just have patience and know that it'll be released once it's ready. We're fortunate that Moto has already updated us to Oreo and it's a pretty stock interface. Only way they could've done better in my view would have been to update the device to support project treble, but that's an entirely different story.
That's about all I know, hope it helps somewhat.
Patience indeed. It'll move along at some point. Next to Sony, I think Moto has one of the cleanest implementations of Android, so it's definitely bearable.
Plus, with the price dropping into "steal" territory, I see more smart ppl coming this way.
Yea thank you guys! I'm being as patient as can be and I just wanted to have a thread here were any and all of us curious folks can have a place to talk about the upcoming of this device and the near future development holds for it. I didn't know it was on lineages repo so that's awesome to hear! That's a perfect example of why I created this post, just to spread the word into one forum and just have a couple chats with everyone about the moto.
Cheers guys, hope to hear more from others too!
I hate this thing that most of the custom roms(all on oreo) for the Lenovo p2 don't have VoLte, like a lot of nougat roms with VoLte have come out but none for oreo, can anyone atleast bring a fix like a flashable zip or something for oreo roms, i m not saying that the developers aren't doing anything( they are actually trying... nice job guys ) but this would be a boon for anybody with this beast of a phone.

Not that easy, that's not how volte works. It will take a while before volte is fixed. For now, try be patient ?

Don't hate if you can't fix it yourself. There is a reason why there isn't a fix yet. It is not that easy to do. And every developer is doing this in their freetime. Please show more respect and understanding instead of unproductive ranting on things that will be solved in time. If you're not happy with what we got, which is actually pretty amazing ,then go and change it yourself.

Well yeah I do agree on your point of not hating , and my intentions were not to rant but just request the developers for a fix, and I did mention that volte is now present in nougat(that was supposed to praise the developers not annoy them) and yeah sorry if anyone felt bad for the post, sorry.
yeah, i did sound a bit passive aggressive, even though that wasn't intended. We just have to be patient :S
Hello, our Amazing XDA Developers.
Hoping you have already planned something for Realme X, For the people still considering if they want to buy this phone or not, and if there was gonna be a Good XDA developer support on this phone.
Why don't you reveal here what you are working on/plan to work on?
Also, Normal Users why don't you post in replies, what you want developers to develop the most.
The aim of this thread is to make the developers aware about what are the most demanded apps/kernels/ROMs/Bootloading screen, etc that users want if they choose to fulfill the wishes of users.
Hoping you can make something awesome for us, Also, Please Keep 4GB Ram version in your mind the most please, since it's current performance and multitasking has a lot of room to improve.
My Personal Requests are-
Bootloader Unlocking Process details
TWRP(obviously)
Lineage OS Custom Rom
AOSP Custom Rom
Pixel Experience ROM
Magisk Modules for Bootloader screens(Not a Priority)
Thank you for giving your time to this thread.
Looking forward to your responses.
Thank you
