I think there will not be any development so soon since the kernel resources were not fully released. Atm, I will wait for unlocking bootloader and global rom.

It's a Mediatek phone, so don't expect any custom ROMs.
Take a look back at the Xiaomi phones released with Mediatek chips and see how little support from developers it got

Redmi Note 4 MTK has absolutely no support and never really received a working custom ROM.

Exactly. The only fully working custom is Xiaomi.eu which is based on stock firmware with a few tweaks.
Redmi Note 4 MTK was released with Android 6 (Marshmallow) and never received a working Android 7 (Nougat).
Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon was also released with Android 6 and received Android 7 (Nougat), Android 8 (Oreo), Android 9 (Pie) and there is already an Android Q beta version released.
The choice is simply: If you want a custom ROM don't buy Mediatek

Let's wait, we never know! The (partial) source code release is a step forward. I think that the "missing" code parts have with the LCD to do and not with the chip anyway.

There are many differences :
- Xiaomi never released Kernel sources on Note 4 (MTK), you can find Note 2 and 3's on their GitHub (very tardily released), but not Note 4's...they already release Note 8 Pro's
- Xiaomi didn't sell Note 4 in western countries...now they officially sell many devices in Europe.
- most western users bought SD625 version instead...MTK community wasn't that big
Sources are there, now Mediatek need a "best seller"...unless that, custom rom won't exist
In past, a team succeed in doing rom for several Mediatek's devices (M.A.D. Team)

Mediatek still isn't popular with developers and I wouldn't expect custom ROM. Snapdragon is always the safer bet

Nougat for Redmi 1s???

This there a nougat development for our device? I hope there is as the new doze implementation will benefit low end devices like our Redmi 1s.
Thanks..
Not possible.
Redmi 1S most probably won't get Android 7.0 because of CPU & GPU restrictions. It will only support the following devices as mentioned in the article by Android Authority.
""Looking over the list of devices that will receive Nougat we find the following:
1) The devices cover a range of GPUs including Adreno 306, Adreno 430 and Mali-T860.
2) The devices have a broad performance range from the Helio P10 and the Snapdragon 410 right through to the Snapdragon 820.
3) Most of the devices have 64-bit processors.""

i think redmi 1s will get 7.0 with some limitations like no individual file-encryption system as it requires a high speed storage
and OpenGL

No, Vulkan is basically something like OpenGL, it's a premade library that helps take the load off the GPU, but only if the game creators used stuff from that library.
hope so

You have to try cm13 boot.img because the version released is cm14 for falcon not the Mokee7.0 for falcon. So try with cm13 boot.img and report if it boot's or not!

Will the device get android p?

I'm pretty sure that there will be lots of android P custom ROMs in future but official update is impossible.
In my opinion, it will get Android p before EOL

Qualcomm relased (or it's going to) special patches for Snapdragon 8xx and 660 and 636 to help manufacturers update their devices to Android P. If Xiaomi doesn't update Remi Note 5 Pro /China/global to P, fanbase is going to literally destroy them for that

Xiaomi only give one major update for redmi note series.. which got N -> O.. so no more major android update (unless they change their policies)..
and now about Chinese variant, Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm launched in china as Redmi Note 3 (SE) with 6.0.1, it never got a single major android update..
[BTW a huge number of custom ROM will be available, thanks to Project Treble Support]

Lineage os 17.1 for oneplus 7t ????

Guys oneplus 7t is great device to own and given oneplus's support for devlopers is also great but still why the devlopment is slow compared to oneplus 7 ,7pro & 7t pro.
I don't think the LOS developers will build / support for any device without a working TWRP, which includes 7T / Pro.
So it's up to people on their hobby with the device to build an unofficial LineageOS.
If I'm not mistaken, Paranoid Android will come soon and support 7T / Pro, not sure when though.

There's no TWRP working with all of the features for out of the box Android 10 devices, which is what the 7T came with.

Because TWRP is not fully functional now.
But building ROM for devices without TWRP is not any harder, so I don't know.
There are most likely other ROMs in telegram, treskmod for example. And most kernels are unified now, if they work for 7 Pro they work for 7T/Pro.

I tried to use 7TPro LOS builds (and other custom roms include AOSP roms) at my 7T several times . Simply it is working but with some problems . For example camera is not working . FOD working but Fingerprint image position is wrong due to resolution differences between the models I guess . I am not developer but I am thinking that these (minor) problems can fix easily if someone who knows how to fix them .
Try only to flash rom for "hotdogb" instead of others. Tryout the Xtended XR rom stock android with tons of customisation and rock stable Minor bugs exists in launcher. That can be overcomed by any thirdparty launcher

Why no progress in custom development for this device?

I know the Pro version and Pro Max version share the similar specs except physically the main camera sensor. I have a doubt if anything developed for Pro version will also work for Pro Max version like recovery, ROMs, etc. I see no lead for custom development here...

Pro Max is Indian Version and didn't got any developers still for specific development but it has Unified ROM Builds which is also used in other Redmi Note 9 Pro versions called "miatoll". It is stable enough for Pro Max go and try it.

Actually There are a few roms (I'm using pixel experience). Just search for roms using the codename (Excalibur).

Unofficial twrp:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-1-root-redmi-note-9-pro-max/
Rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-9-pro/development/rom-pixel-experience-t4158325
So if you flash that twrp then everytime you connect your phone to pc, it will show "note 9 s". You can follow the step on how to flash, but when I flashed no_verity I got stuck in bootloop. So you can ignore that step
Rom is pixel experience, didn't see any bug yet. Just the front camera didn't feel optimised. Like when I taking selfie using apps like instagram or snapchat, it would be dark and blurry.

Custom Rom for Galaxg M30 based on android 11. We need a Rom for this phone. Please.

You need to understand,. Samsung OUI is an overlay on top of Android OS, and till A11 does not arrive fully, any customisation may break the rendering beyond comprehension. So, wait and watch..
