Roms

Any one knows when will the custom roms arrive for this device i know itll take time but i need to prepare myself of how long will i need to use the miui

Maybe 4 or 5 months, since xiaomi is always late to release kernel source it will take some time to get stable ROM

dual boot patcher is already available for the Note 5, i hope they can get it for the Pro soon so i can have Miui/LineageOS together

what the adv of having a dual boot ?

obviously you have the choice of either the oem or custom rom to boot.

Damn! The phone isn't even on sale yet. DAMN!

2-3 months

First of all, people and devs should buy the device! And it is possible to get ROMs before the Kernel Source release, as devs create custom kernel. So, it may take 2-3 months

patience is a virtue

Hey Shahan. Will you be here as a developer for Redmi Note 5 pro? Then it is like heaven. Currently I own Mi4 with your Nitrogen OS.

Let the kernel source release

Though my question is somewhat unusual but any developers interested in building custom roms for Zenfone Max M1 pro. Was about to buy Redmi note 5 pro then Asus released this phone. Now I am confused. Also which phone will have a better future on XDA?

In terms of development on xda, RN5P will definitely have better support. Evident from previous xiaomi devices.

I think Redmi Note 5 Pro Will Develop More Custom Rom Than Zenphone M1 Pro

RN5 by a mile
The 5,000 mah battery and Vainilla Android is tempting but:
-No EIS
-No IR Blaster
-No Gorilla Glass or Oleophobic coating on the screen
-Inferior Selfie cam
-Low Development
So the Redmi Note 5 / 5 Pro is the clear winner

As both are having the same hardware..

Coming back to Custom ROMS

I have been away in the wilderness for the past 5 years and I am trying to get back into customs roms.
I purchased from Amazon UK the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, so I assume this is classed is the Pro version.... its 3GB/32GB model
After doing some research on the forum. Is it true to say that the Stock Miui rom is the most stable rom? I am currenly on Miui 10.
Its nice but I would prefer stock android/pixel port with everything working plus gcam.
I Would prefer Oreo until Pie is stable enough, but after doing some further reading I get the feeling that Oreo based roms aren't stable or have I misread.
Thanks

Been on Pixel Expirience pie for over 2 months, more than stable enough for daily use. Didnt encounter any bugs, everythings working, just heard that cast is not working, but cant confirm as i dont use it. Most stable is ofcourse OEM soft, in this case miui. Wont recommend gcam as its not stable, atleast for global version front camera is bugged. If you start flashing various gcam patches this forum is full of, youll probably end up with same bugged gcam AND it will give you extra troubles, like no sound etc. Pixel Expirience without any modifications and patches works well. Btw "pro" version is only for india, they have different front camera hardware and gcam seems to be working well on it, there is also AI version which is exactly the same as global version, just with less network bands support.

Thanks for the reply...
gsmarena has my phone as a Note 5 Pro its has the 636 chipset.... Am i in the correct forum? should I be in the note 5 / note 5 plus forum???

No, its the same phone, but as i said, pro moniker is only used in india. Global model is just redmi note 5. Global and chinese versions are identical, apart from global supporting more network bands. Pro version is same as Global, but has different front camera hardware for some reason. If im not mistaken, it has 20mpx, while global/china uses 12mpx front sensor. They all support same roms tho, and all have same codename, which is "whyred". This forum is for whyred. Note5/5 plus is another device, it uses snapdragon 625 and has single back camera. I know, naming scheme is ridiculously confusing, but thats xiaomi, its not the first time. They use different names in different regions, and release many similar devices.

Andoid One 10 discussion thread.

Last generation Android Pie was launched on August 8 and around November 27 the Mi A2 Lite received the Pie update. This year, Android 3 is rumored to launch on September 3 and would probably come to Mi A2 Lite in the following months.
Will you upgrade the day it launches or will you wait a while longer before updating?
In this thread we will discuss news, bugs and solutions for the new upcoming Android 10 update.
Update:
Android 10 was finally launched and updates for Pixel devices started rolling out. Also, Xiaomi is not far behind releasing day one update for the Xiaomi K20 Pro (MIUI//China//India).
Since MIUI is a heavy skinned Android version we can't be sure yet about any bugs in Android 10 for the Android One program. Stay tuned.
Bugs:
No information yet.
Features:
Live Caption - Live Caption automatically captions videos, podcasts, and audio messages—even stuff you record yourself.
Live Transcribe - Real-time transcriptions for the world around you.
Sound Amplifier - Filter out background noise and amplify sound according to frequencies personalized to your hearing.

With this phone, I think I've been in the lucky part of users (never had big bug or blocking issue all along updates)
But I will definitely do the same as for Android 9 :
Wait at least one or two weeks, and use this time for browsing forums likes XDA before taking a decision...
And I agree with you, system wide dark mode seems to be the more interesting feature (with native screen recording)

As i love Always to test new
I'll install the new os when it release

I will since I'm hoping they fix a bug in which the bluetooth and the wi-fi can't work together because wi-fi slows.

I never experienced that bug in Android Pie. I always keep both on since Bluetooth connects to my smartwatch and car and I never bother turning off wi-fi. Wi-Fi works normal at decent speeds.
Mi A2 Lite 4/64 model.

Any idea if enabled Camera2 API will survive the update to Android 10?
How about the prior update from Oreo to Pie with enabled Camera2 API? Does it still work afterwards?

I strongly hope they fixed all those Bluetooth issues

Has anybody installed the GSI?

This image was found on a subreddit for Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. This seems like good news since it was posted about 8 days ago.
Maybe we should expect Android 10 in the October update.
This messages are from Xiaomi support Great Britain.

please do not share information without verifying that it is correct

Since android one is made by google i guess xioami devs need 2 weeks to disable camera2api support.

It's quoting the same debunked source mentioned a couple posts above. So hold your horses, it won't come next week.

guys are you seriously gonna belive guys at customer support? jesus.. how many times do i have to say this - THEY DONT KNOW. not. a. clue. they say this to put you off, they dont have the exact information. just chill and wait or install GSI it works well enough

That's just like... uhm, your opinion. This is a discussion thread and ... guess what, people discuss.
The K20 Pro received the Android One 10 update on September 24. The K20 runs on Android One unlike the 9T which runs on MIUI.
This means that the Android One 10 is now ready, it just needs to be tweaked for every supported Android One device. As we see until now, the Mi A2 will get it first, about 1-2 weeks prior to the Mi A2 Lite. That's what we have to check out, the global version of Mi A2 official forums.
For example the screen rotation glitch was knows 2 weeks prior from we getting it on our Lites. When we got our update, surprise, the screen rotation glitch... And it took them 1 more increment to fix that problem for both devices.

And where is the beta program? It has not started yet. An update without it is unlikely.
On the global MIUI forum (also from customer support) there was information that Android 10 will appear for us in November. If the beta program starts in October, it will be likely.
It should be remembered that MI A3 will have a priority in update, and the beta program did not start for this model.

Android 10 had a Google beta program, not OEM beta program. Xiaomi was in the program from the beginning. The Android 10 Beta Program ended in August with Beta 6.

Is it still worth it to buy the Redmi Note 8?

I currently have the budget to buy a phone in the prices of the Redmi Note 8 and the Redmi Note 9, I am really into custom roms and I'm currently leaning into buying the Redmi Note 8 just because of it. Will the Redmi Note 8 still be supported by the developers here in the long run or are a lot of them transitioning in buying the new Redmi Note?

In my experience the redmi line have developer support during several years. My last phone was a redmi 5 plus (vince) and even today there are quality custom roms available (but there are not many options anymore). I bought a RN 8 recently and I think it is still a good device, especially considering that RN9 has a mediatek processor and the development for that device is going to be harder. Sorry for my bad English btw.

appreciate it, my brother just bought a Redmi Note 9, I'm not really feeling the size of the phone, plus I don't think there's going to be much development because of the processor? I guess I'll just go with this, the roms with the RN8 seems pretty great.

Take into consideration that Xiaomi is really delaying updates for this phone, even Redmi note 7 got updates sooner.
