Hello. This might sound like a silly question, but does the device work well when changing ROMs, for example from the default MIUI ones to AOSP?
I'm asking because I've had an LG phone for a very long time, and for example, when it ran AOSP, the camera quality was terrible compared to stock LG roms because LG didn't release the drivers... The sound works differently too, with AOSP the quality is lower.
So does something like this happen with this phone? Anything else I should be aware of while buying this device? I tend to keep my phones for a very long time so I'd like it to be future proof.
Is it possible to flash unofficial MIUI releases, like 3 years from now when Xiaomi doesn't support it anymore? Or is AOSP the only option by then?
Thanks in advance.
Yes Xiaomi Officially Releases its kernel sources for developer.......so custom/Aosp Rom support is great....and you can use miui camera on aosp rom....so camera quality is also great on aosp rom....but i am not satisfied with the gpu performance of redmi note 5(you can get better performance with Old Mi5 or New Mi A2/6x and mi8se).....if you can increase budget go for poco phone f1......But about your query ASOP rom Has Same/Better support in as MiUi rom in every aspect on all mentioned Xiaomi phone along with note 5.....and Xiaomi provide official miui 10 support to old device like remi note 3 so you can trust.
You can flash modded stock roms like Miuipro, Masik, Miui.eu, etc...
Algo You can check the development section for AOSP based roms
The phone in general is great the best gamma media for me so far
But keep in mind that it takes 30 days to unlock the bootloader. So, you'll be stuck with the stock Rom for a month.
Is there any expert programmer who can make ported stock rom pie from samsung a720s official firmware,for a520f and a720f?
The hardware of the a720s is the same as the a720f, it's just a matter of who has the time, knowledge and willto make. Because we all want 9 on our phones. .

Hadesrom is made from an a8 base with a720s fixes in it and is basically identical.

A8 and a720s are not the same.A8 has Exynos 7885 and a720s Exynos 7880.A8 has 4gb ram, while a720s has 3gb ram.A8 has Mali-G71 GPU while a720s carries Mali-T830MP3.Hardware a720s is identical to a720f.A8 is not nearly as similar in hardware, which is one of the reasons why the Hades rom doesn't work completely without bugs, as much as the programmer tried. After a few days, it slows down. That's why the programmer gave up further updates and closed the thread. I ask, do any of the programmers know how to port rom from a720s for a520f and a720f?
Relax, eventually we will get something
Guys really, you are just so dumb. Having developers around like Corsi or Option58 is a dream for a big part of the XDA community. Imagine that no one is developing for Ax 2017, with what you eventually end? Stock oreo ROM and only it. No Lineage, no Pie, nothing.
Just wanted to remind you that everything related to AOSP is possible thanks to RaymanFX, and you pissed him off a long time ago. I'm ashamed about that part of the community, OP, think a while, just think. Are you sure that you have more knowledge than people making such things? I bet that you ever can't compile LineageOS from sources with a tutorial.
I sorry so much for Corsicanu, he spent an enormous amount of time to deliver you butter smooth stock roms, make the stable pie even possible, release professional kernel and the only thing he received for that is complaining and calling him stupid.
I'm less and less frequent here, thank you to all active or inactive developers for keeping this phone alive, I wish the best for you and remember, you are doing such a great job and there are still people who appreciate it.
Regards.
@Alchajmer
1. we have an android 9 port already
2. if you don't like them (I guess you do else you wouldn't open this thread) then feel free to port your own android 9 rom. if you don't know how then search on xda. there a plenty of guides about porting roms.
3 finally read this post please. I hope this will change your opinion about porting A720S to our devices.
And no the progammer did not close his thread because of the A8 port is "slowing down" the performance, he closed it because a lot of people requested (and even keep requesting) an A720s pie based port in his thread (check last posts) like you did here.
Did corsicanu confirmed that a720s rom cant be ported to a520/a720f or you guys are just guessing?
Let the man work when he has time thats it...
Hades rom works fantastic on my a520f. For all his honor. But after a few days everything slows down. Why? I don't know. It's like he's running out of memory. For example, the calculator needs a second or two. So I asked if there was a minimum chance of porting rom to the a520 / 720f from the A720s. I'm not a programmer, but I've been using custom roms for a long time to know if the phones match the hardware, there's a chance for porting. I'm not saying that it has to be tomorrow, but when the developer has time

Will there even be Custom Roms for Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro???
I really don't like MIUI and the only reason i want this phone is because i wish to install a custom rom to it. My favorite being Resurrection Remix but at this point, LineageOS would be fine too.
Any information on the matter?
Is there any rom even being developed for this?

So you are basicly saying "no, there isn't."
And i am sorry but this is my only phone and i'm unable to test with it.

https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-8-pro-custom-rom-kernel-developers/
this happened over 2 months ago and yet there is nothing. "need for testing" hmm okay.
Is it because of the Mediatek chip and them not sharing code?
It seems like there will not be any stable enough custom roms for this phone even tho it was realeased 4 months ago, there is still nothing.
Makes me a bit sad. So great specifications but no custom roms. Damn Mediatek! [if its their fault]
@zaiross At the moment, the main problem is a bug that results in hard brick which can only be recovered by a service centre that has an account authorized to flash in EDL mode (the lowest level of service/flash protocol, even lower than Fastboot). So no development because if a ROM Dev causes the hard brick, they have to pay a fee to service centre to get reflash using EDL.
Also does not help that MediaTek seem not interested in the smaller development community. MediaTek have said they are not interested in a similar partnership with the Linux Code Aurora community that Qualcomm works with. It's a pity they're not interested as I believe it would help increase popularity of MTK chips and increase sales over time.
a programmer could modify sp flash tool so it would bypass asking for authorized account. that would be worth to achieve smth for long time than paying services for bricks
I said this before and I'm going to say it again, you will likely not see any further development for this device in the foreseeable future. Sure POSP is stuck on testing but do any one of you honestly see anyone contributing to testing when they will most likely brick the phone during the process?
This is a dead phone. Some of us have sold it and moved on. I will follow suit soon. I recommend you do too.

thank you, I said the same thing month and half ago and nobody listened me.
mediatek is just a waste of time for any development: customs and gcam
move on and buy Redmi Note 8 or Mi9 Lite or Mi 9T, they do have too many developments and working gcam without need of hard working like wyroczen, and nobody will waste money or dismount for unbricking.
Hey brick problem isn't Mediatek's fault...
I get many smartphone with Mediatek's.
All of them were unbrickable...
On every others, you failed your installation, you opened SP Flashtool and reinstalled the previous Rom.
No code were needed.
If you really do a crappy work, you had to reinstall IMEI in addition...that's all.
But hardbrick was totally impossible on any other Mediatek's device I used.
Then comes the problem of developpers...maybe they had to change their mind...yes maybe it's harder...yes maybe they will have less help...
But the other chipmaker's behavior is too dangerous to keep this situation.

This is getting so disapointing. I bought the phone thinking it will have normal development just like any other big android brand. I feel bad for getting a xiaomi phone
I shouldn't trust xiaomi. It's a pitty what they do to their customers.

Since when does Xiaomi claim to support custom roms from the community with any of their phones??
Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T seems nice enough.. It has Qualcomm chip in it. Should people with Pro switch to that for example? Or perhaps Xiaomi Redmi K30, Realme X2 or Oppo K5 ....
Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro seems great because of specs but MIUI really sucks ass, and like ariber14, i too bought this phone in belief of getting a custom rom to it sooner or later. :/

I agree with @RenatoNismo and @Helhound0. It's a shame because the Redmi Note 8 Pro is so powerful and a great value proposition, but it's so easy to brick, and Custom ROM development is looking so unlikely now, that it's a real deal-breaker for me.
@RenatoNismo and @Helhound0, which phone do you plan to buy next? The MI 9 Lite and Redmi Note 8 both have Custom ROMS already, and look like good value propositions too, but I'm a bit discouraged by the fact that either of them are going to feel like a "downgrade", now that I've experienced the Redmi Note 8 Pro (i.e. they have weaker chipsets, and in the case of the MI 9 Lite, I'm worried about burn-in unless I really "babysit" it and use low brightness).
Do either of you feel like you would be conceding/downgrading by choosing one of these phones, or is the freedom, flexibility and Custom ROM-friendliness of these phones "worth it" to you?
I would have also considered the Realme 5 Pro or Realme X2, but at the moment, it seems to be impossible to unlock the bootloader for European devices, which of course, makes them not an option for Custom ROMS either.
I am still using Redmi Note 2, my next phone will be Snapdragon only, no more bullsh* of development like customs, gcam, bootloader and xiaomi.eu etc. etc.
in 2015 Helio X10 was promising like G90T was at the launch date, as always like the whole story of every mediatek devices, RN2 was enough for me to learn lesson, but it's good for daily use, even without customs neither gcam which I need, I could waited for months and paid more money for redmi note 3 pro, it's still being developed.
my gf's Redmi 5 is 2 years old cheapest, is being updated and has gcam night sight working better than rn8pro

I just got my OnePlus 5T working so I'll be using that as my daily and my Moto X4 for music. I'll probably keep this until next July and sell it so i can pool in some cash from my bonus and get whatever the flagship OnePlus out at that point. But if i was to make a purchase now, I'll probably avoid XIAOMI altogether. I've been looking into the ROG phone 2 specially since it's not expensive comparing to some other flagships. I'll probably go for that.

Hi dev,
Why aren't there many custom ROMs for samsung s20+ Exynos or s20 series devices?
I feel oxygen os 11 would look great on s20 series devices.
Is there any component of device causing no custom ROM development?
Well... I had an exynos Note 10+ and the development for that phone was pitiful and was why I sold the phone. Thinking of buying an S20+ but only if I see some active development or at least plans
Well as phones ar getting more expensive and rooting less viable, I really don't see a bright future for custom rom development on future samsung phones.

Agree, valid reasons for rooting are evaporating. With app based options offering solutions and Samsung making it more and more challenging it's hard to justify. Especially when one considers the prices for a top shelf device and a very real possibility you'll brick your smartphone. Firmware and CSC's are much more complex than 5 or 10 years back, it's not like the good old days when rooting was more straight forward. With that being stated much of the push for rooting comes from users who fail to investigate which device is best suited for their needs, even within the same model line.

Buy an OP phone if you like that, the S20`s have different hardware so most likely not possible.
so, planning on buying new mobile. The choice was between mi11x and realme x7 max. i know for the fact realme wont be having custom development (mediatek) . So the choice was MI. I am not a heavy gamer or user, i play cod mobile and use some technical apps. until now i am using samsung j8 (sd450 chipset) and i play cod in it. not a bad experience. so i thouht mi 11 lite is more than enough. but i hate miui or any other. i am custom to one ui and stock. so if the mi 11 lite doestn't have custom development ..... sadly i have to pass. and one more does it has nfc ?
NFC is there.
As for custom roms, at the moment there are no developments ongoing for this model AFAIK, but the phone is brand new.
In my opinion the street price is still too high for this phone, so few people bought it and there is little community interest ATM, but things might change in the future.
