Custom ROMs will they happen? - Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

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

Yeah seriously I don't know what's the mystery about it.. Already running cm10 on my gtab and gnexus I know they don't like people ask when their phone will get CMXX. but CM developers should try to communicate better with users... Open source, free work in this scale is not excuse for blindness

Maybe it's worth posting a note on the cm forum and getting as many of us to sign it, that's how we got cm9 in the first place. I'm pretty sure they're already working on it.

Xplodwild does a great job on implementing the s3 cm10 previews. I tested the previews from the beginning. I have now migrated to N7000 and cannot wait for the First previews there.

There will be long wait to have a fully working jellybean on the Note.
Mostly due to Samsung who delays Note updates for newbies critical bugs (ie brick bug) and also to sell the Note 2. Why users will buy Note 2 if they have a fully working ICS/Jellybean on the first one ?
Kernel/FW sources will be released in a long time.
Concerning CM10, hope they will not face issues like working camera etc.
As an example, CM9 & Aokp/Aosp are ready for months on galaxy tab but still missing functionnalities & working camera which make them useless. Cause of no sources available for devs.

Cm9 works with 4.0.4 way before samsung releases 4.0.4.. Drivers compatibility its for 4.X.X that's well known.. And cm team several weeks ago (since jb source droped into aosp) started the merge with ics and they said it was a piece of cake since the drivers from ics are the same... We don't need samsung sources to get JB.. Cm can deliver a jb rom with what they already have..
And in the case of gtab 10.1 we don't have working camera because our kernel developer Wich also is the cm9/10 maintainer for tab ported all the drivers from honey comb Wich were a slightly improvement over ginger bread drivers.. That's why we don't have a working camera yet.. But hey everything else works. Hwa/gps/sound/wifi/3G and cm10 its running on the tablet buttery smooth with the lack of camera.. And those are drivers from honey comb..
So tell me what's wrong with cm10 for note when they have every single driver for ics available... Makes no sense to me... Most of the popular phones/tabs cm supports in cm9 already have a cm10 preview
Difference here its that our cm developer I'm gtab is an angel.. What a nice guy he baby every single person that uses cm9 and or his kernels... He takes care of every single case one by one and he didn't move to merging jb until the last of us solved his personal issue...
Pershoot (our cm developer for tab) is not thinking he's a all mighty god untouchable its what he says and everyone else is bull$hit its an attitude problem here

You just did not understand what i've written.
I am hoping that CM teams won't face these issues like camera even if they should not be concerned.
I am certainly not speaking about their awesome work but about the fact that if issues raise with CM10...it can be hard to fix since Samsung are not going to release the eventual sources needed before months.
Nevertheless, i am running CM9 and I love it. But there are still missing stock functionnalities. It is for users to know if they can live without them or not. Some absolutely need S-suite...other the Mhl...and for me, working camera especially for skype is a must have. That is why I have to run that **** of samsung stock over my gtab 8.9.
I am angry towards Samsung...not towards the different developers teams who litterally save us.
As an example, they fix the emmc brick while Samsung did not do it yet and force most of Note users to remain at Gingerbread..which just innacceptable for the ones who's getting the most money between manufacturers.
I also have the Xperia S...comparing Gb/ICS to samsung stock is just day and night. At the end...comparing to any devices I had/have..Samsung provides the best innovations and hardware but the worst system.

:good: totally agreed with that.
it's depending to Samsung. their to busy making big money instead of customers who facing problem with their own product. working too slow to solve their own problem and not appreciates value customers.
and yes ! i'm totally agreed with you, here Devs making a lots of improvement and modifications just to ensure satisfaction to enjoyed what we all paid of.
lets be patient. Xplodwild will start a new discussion thread once he releases it in the general section here

Here's come the legend! RESPECT!
Seriously, we can't wait to test JB in Galaxy Note!
I'll wait for the Butter.
Yeah, we got lucky. Unlike GB audio blobs in ICS, ICS audio blobs worked with a backwards-compatibility wrapper in JB.
I don't think anyone was expecting it to work but it did. I would've started working on the Note tree last night, but I got home late and am away from home almost all day today. xplod will probably have a tree up before I get home, he cheats by being 6 hours ahead of me in timezones!
Due to certain limitations of our graphics blobs, the majority of "butter" will not be present.

Out of curiosity, would the limitations be fixable, given time? Or is it just not-fixable and our Notes would forever be dry and crusty, without any butter?

CM port

Hi everyone,
I have juste created a thread asking for the official port of CM on this device (I can't post the link because I'm new....), section device requests.
Be free to comment the post (even a +1) , I am sure you can find the link we google, and we have to prey that they will take a look at it
Kisses
Won't happen until Alcatel releases the source code and given that the phone was just released to canada as recently as June 30th you can expect to wait a couple of months for that.
Just want I want a bug filled rom that gets rid of one problem and another pops up. I just love when we all use cm and the Bluetooth crashes all the time, disconnects, and overall bearly works. I love when the wifi disconnects and you have to restart the phone just to get it to work.
Sorry I'll stick to the stock rom where everything works perfectly fine.
Wont be any cm roms until we get twrp first. Im shocked more devs dont own this device.

It hasn't even been out 2 months yet. It's an off name most are not familiar with and alcatel's first true shot at an enterprise/flagship level device. It has threads on slickdeals.net advertising it's low price...it will eventually get support by either the source being released or a new exploit being found that can be used to provide temp or perm root...once someone has root they can pull the recovery and boot partitions and development can begin.
It's unrealistic to expect developer's to be jumping all over this phone so soon. I'd never even heard of it till I was looking to buy a zen phone 2 and found so many articles comparing it to the idol 3.

yeah id miss it too but meh lol but theres the dolby atmos app that has been ported from a lenovo ROM that should work with our speakers and also there can be a way to port the colorOS camera app from oppo phones those can take up to 50mp shots because they use sony sensors even on the one plus one has been achieved an yet it has the same sony sensor also hopefully xposed framework could work on us because of the adaway for youtube ^^
Well if someone's working on a CM port I'd be interested in helping to test it.
Thatd be nice id help too for testing purposes im a very heavy user and this phone has been keeping up with me lately
I'll throw my vote in for a cm port. as well as another tester if needed. Dont have tons of experience, but I'll be happy to help where I can.
well im pretty sure theres going to be a bounty thread for it or any other rom ^^
hi guys,
i just ordered this phone and soon within this month hopefuly will land in my hands in india.
my question is cant we use sources of other SD 615 phones like MI4I, YUreka and TCL M3G to develop rom for our device/ or cant we use their roms with our stock kernel ???
as TCL M3G is already having cm 12.1 and MIUI V6 and several other roms on movilesdualsim forum

Can you use the computer chip from a v8 chevy in a v8 ford? The software has to match to the hardware. How is the software going to control the screen when they have different digitizers? Different sound cards. Just as with your pc the drivers have to match the hardware.

One of the CM maintainers, contacted me here on a PM today and requested files from the device. The work on the CM port will be started probably the next week. I will not disclose his ID for now in order to save him from possible questions on PMs. Probably CyanogenMod soon will be available for the Idol ... I just spread the news.
Cool, looking forward to it!

Thanks for the update! It's been quiet for a little bit regarding a CM port. Good to see it's still WIP.
While I look forward to having trees to build with, I find it kinda funny that they asked for files when a couple of them have the device already. Unless the files are from a different version?

Only if you look at Master branch. There are more recent commits in the device-specific branches...
Still I'm not expecting it any time soon. You can build with prebuilt-kernel, hence the current Lineage port and soon something a little different.
Yes it's hugely disappointing to not have kernel source and it does restrict some of the more fun things but at the same time it isn't MIUI and variety is always nice.
Expect something more exciting coming soon, I had some data loss and other things to deal with but now I have a little more time to spend on this.
Join the Telegram group and let me know if you want to be a tester.
The last couple of builds (haven't been Lineage) but also haven't been suitable for general release - the last lineage release already has too many bugs for daily - it will be updated soon - probably the next week.

Thank you all for the answers, but I'm not so expert with Kernel building. I was curious to know some information about the releasing because I had a Mi5 before and after 5/6 months Xiaomi released Sources for that device

Kernel building from scratch is a hell of a challenge without sources, even for developers hugely more experienced than me. The same kernel is compatible across a lot of devices here and there's a reason none of building it themselves. Even LineageOS where they're soon going to be adding Mi5s Plus with official support isn't using custom kernel.
I was hoping 5/6 months from release we'd have kernel but, as you know, nothing yet. Maybe 5/6 months from International release (I think Taiwan counts as international)
But using prebuilt kernel is a way to still have some custom roms. Once MIUI 9 (or 8 based on Android 7) is released that will help things a bit but in the mean time. I am working away at getting something much better than what we have at the moment.
Kernel sources have been just released!

Which are differences between ROM you linked and this one (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-2/development/unofficial-lineage-14-1-ported-build-t3574298) ? It's not the same?

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.

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".

Did Developers avoided this Device or work on custom roms on?

As we all know Mi a1 makes it difficult for custom rom building coz of A/B partitions ..
But i wanted to whether all the developers are in to make a lot of stable custom roms or they have moved away from the device.
I am not asking for customs roms now itself just wanted to know there is support and working on in the background or not.
I don't think they're avoiding it, it's just taking time to bring up the device tree.. I might dig into it a bit this weekend and try to bring up the device tree to 8.1, the problem is that even in 7.1.2 we don't have everything working. also, Xiaomi did a terrible job with the kernel, took them 4 months to release it and when they did they released an old 7.1.2 based kernel with the commits squashed into one commit over an older CAF tree
Developers are hampered by the lack of availability of source code that is yet to be released by xiaomi, (they have released the code, but not Oreo) otherwise we would have good ROMs by now

Yes that ok .. Waiting is worth the wait . But can we expect stable custom roms within a month

LineageOS is out. And I'll say yes.
Once LineageOS is perfectly stable you'll see many more ROMs.
No, developers are not purposely avoiding the device. On the contrary the day after the sources dropped we had 3 ROMs (broken nonetheless, only RIL worked) by three different devs.
As of right now, everyone has joined hands and are fixing LOS14.1
Even Francisco Franco said he's getting his kernel to this device, just be a bit patient.

try give whoever it is an extra day or 2 maybe.just wait am sure were gonna see a lot of roms coming up
If your waiting for development then you have not done your research. Development devs dont buy from this oem. They even avoid it. The best you can hope for is some of the users porting the roms over but they will most likely be buggy as they always are with this oem.

Then what are your thoughts about Pixel Experience on Redmi Note 4? It has a very few bugs, and in fact gives better battery life than MIUI 9. That ROM isn't considered to be a port, right?

Any rom will give better batter battery life then miui. That is due to all the background syncing that it does in the back ground.
As for that rom. Any rom that brings over a pixel like rom is a port.
I wouldn't really know as this device isn't sold in my country nor does anyone I know even look twice at the oem.
Stop this A/B partitioning scheme BS. Of course, it does not make life easier for the developers but it certainly isn't the biggest obstacle.

Really. Ask the devs that got the pixel and after that won't touch a device with the partition setup. It makes things almost impossible to get working right. Me, I would just repatriation the device and remove the partition all together.

I'm not neglecting that but, in my opinion, it isn't that big of a deal anymore. I'm sure that even we if we didn't had it, things wouldn't be much better.

Well considering the oem you are right. But for normal devices those that don't have the partition are the more dev friendly. Just talk to some of the devs. Most have sworn off anything that uses the dual partition.

Absolutely true, it took months to see a stable release of TWRP for the Pixel. And there's still no official LOS as well.
However there are a few ROMs and more device with A/B are out like PH-1 and Moto Z2
For reals though, devs working on ROMs for this device, feel free to create/list your PayPal accounts for donations.
We ask so much of the devs it's only fair we buy them a drink/meal for all their hard work and persistence!
