Thanks for the Good News. Now we'll see some serious development for our RN4.
Awesome! Great news indeed! Thanks a bunch. Can't wait to see a rom for the RN4. I love it except for the software.
Dt2w like reno 3 pro ?

Yup... RN4 could really do with some custom Development. It's a great phone but MIUI itself is a resource and battery hog in my opinion...
Don't get your hopes up guys... without blobs (precompiled usermode binaries) or JNI portion of userspace, or additional drivers specific to the Note 4 (e.g. Camera), this is only one step of what's needed.
With just the generic kernel source, we would need an extremely talented developer and a lot of time and dedication to get any kind of custom ROM.

my question is this, i have a le-eco le 2.. x620, with this chipset, is there now going to be a possibility of unlocking or enabling the AWS 1700 band?
its greyed out in the MTK engineer app, and found that it may be locked out by the kernel

MiUi for a1?

Is anyone trying to port the miui rom for mi a1? I know kernel sources are not there but there is a kernel by which we can port the rom atleast... And ya pls dont give suggestions like to buy mi 5x and other things..please we dont want that.. and also dont tell here that miui sucks or its laggy or anything.. everyone has their own workspace....
I dont like miui, but i tried to port, bootloop animation, when i have free time i continue to boot it up
But idk maybe there exist many bugs
Just buy a god damn 5x
Guys its a huge req to everyone to not give suggestions like to buy mi 5x
you can buy mi 5x...you know
There is xiaomi 5x, you can buy that one.

You know you can buy MI 5X.
Everyone will be giving you advise to buy mi 5x coz both r identical twins in terms of hardware. So it may be very ridiculous to buy a mi A1 and install miui on it . When you have a thing in market then why experiment with other to make like it.

I guess it has been said an uncountable number of times: A1 and Mi 5x ARE NOT IDENTICAL in terms of hardware.

They are not identical but on the outside they are very similar and they have roughly the same price.
So, return your A1 and get a 5x, bruh

If band 20 is really important for someone and wants miui than he will buy phone like Redmi Note 4 which has similar specs and its cheaper than A1.
@prashantxpe Just out of curiousity: Are you going to open a new thread every two months about wether or not someone has ported MIUI for you? Two months ago you also mentioned that you can help porting. How far is your progress here? Do you have a github tree others can contribute to?
Nope...next one will probably be about volte or "where is Oreo, shame on you xiaomi".

Custom ROMs will they happen?

The kernel source code for Mi Max 2 is finally and officially released on 08-Jan-2018!
It is available on the following github website:
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/oxygen-n-oss
Just trying to figure out why this device is not getting any active developer/group's interest aroused, to start any form of new ROM/Kernel development.
Share your thoughts on why custom ROMs for the Mi Max 2 is not happening...

u just said it yourself, kernel sources have been released on january 8th, thats 16 days ago.
how much can one accomplish in 16 days? definitely not a working rom! and i dont think that devs would open up threads just to announce that they are working on something. besides, such "placeholder" threads without anything to show for are not allowed on xda anyways. give it some time, be patient my young padawan im staying optimistic...
Have been using Lineage 14.1 for 4 days now, happy with it.
Does it support Quick Charge, on lock screen it does not show, in MIUI it does, so just asking ..

i would say yes, charging from 15-20 to 100% only takes around 2h40min, thats pretty quick for such a large battery

When xiaomi will realease source code?

Do someone knows if xiaomi will release source code for this device, I like support for custom rom and etc
And as far as i can see the device has no support other than xiaomi.
Also the forum is a mess i dont believe its a good device to buy. All people waiting for redmi 7 or redmi 7 pro?
For the new devices, within 3 months after the release.

Are we going to get custom roms?

Has any developer started with los and other custom roms? I can find any thread in roms and kernel section.
The phone only just came out, you need to be patient. Its not as popular as the PRO.
So far I have seen that a Mokee developer is working on it : https://github.com/davinci-dev
I will be waiting on some quality roms before buying this phone.
There's a lot of developer activity on the k20 pro forum the past few days, so hopefully the regular k20/mi 9t gets some attention too. My mi 9t should be arriving this week, and I really don't want to have to use MIUI forever.
I think at the end, the better choice to avoid problems, is to leave the global from the day of purchase

miui is trash, and im not going to buy the phone if there are no alternatives.
I notice that it's not popular as the Pro and i think there will no be change about this, every day there are new rom, new update with the K20 Pro but not K20
K20 is equally popular but problem is broken kernel try hence once it is fixed we will surly get roms and kernels
