ROMs development - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

A general question to all the developers interested in th beautiful device. I'm also very interested in purchasing this device, but I wanna know if some of you dear developers, are going to work on the global versions of the RN7 or you guys are going to wait for the RN7 Pro.

Give it a few weeks ?

Spread the word!

Can some of our Asian friends like @GTARaja spread the kernel in Indian and Chinese forums? There is way more people and skilled developers with this phone there than anywhere in the world, wich I think do not have the kernel yet.
Maybe you @burakgon can post it on Donanim forum as well? Or anyone else that can write in Turkish.
This would be a great help to every GiONEE E7 owner. Thanks in advance!

Hello friend ive contacted few devs from nexus 5 forums and other to build a custom rom for us...just waiting for their reply..
Thanks GTARaja. Hope now there is no stopping for our device development! I hope once burakgon posts flash tools, it would be as easy as pie to flash custom ROMs without fearing of how to bring device back to life or stock if the need arises.
I really wonder why mobile tech sites like GSMArena or others not posting much about Gionee phones? They doing that with other new vendors like Oppo, OnePlus etc. but not Gionee in particular. Hope they can post this news for maximum exposure to most readers and devs.

yeah gionee seems a newbie in mobile market and few ppl are interested in this brand..as gsmarena focuses on post which most ppl like..they only post about other devices...may be some day they will realize about gionee devices

[BOUNTY] Nexus 9 for Cpasjuste

Hi !
I'm Cpasjuste, a long term user/developper on XDA. As many of you probably, i'm very interested in this device but i'm (really) lacking the founds to get one.
I'm not sure if it's something to do, requesting a bounty/device for myself but well .. who know ...
So i'm wondering if some people, or maybe a generous donator, would be interested in supporting me to get this device. I'm used to nvidia devices since the tegra/tegra2 and recently ported CM11 to a Tegra 4i device (https://github.com/Cpasjuste/device_nvidia_s8515), which i'm the only one if i'm correct. I think i could really help the development on this awesome device.
If some people are interested then we will setup something.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Cpasjuste.
I'm sorry but these type of threads are not allowed. You may use our built-in donation link feature.

Developers, we need your help

Many people are looking for a smartphone with a great cost-benefit and able to meet all our needs. Sincerely? The answer for many would be the Mido. But there are a lot of people who need a more portable smartphone, which can be handled with just one hand without problems. These people decided to bet on the Redmi 4 Prime, which has practically the same characteristics and very similar parts. However, its development was not as great as its bigger brother, and recently one of the top developers abandoned the device, leaving a lack of content. So, I come to you, to that you kindly port some ROMs from the very similar brother to our smartphone. I think we will give you all the attention you deserve, because only those who do not have something know the true importance of things.

+1 , would love to see some of the greatest developers on Mido working on the Redmi 4 Prime !
+1
That would be a relief for thousands of Redmi4 Primes and their owners!!
Really?u came here to request redmi note 4 developers to port rom for redmi 4 prime,with ur funny reason of one hand usability.Sry but developers of redmi note 4 not only work for its roms but also updating it frequently and now with android o's arrival do u really expect anyone to help u out?.The only people who can help you all are redmi 4 prime user themselves
You should be able to easily port Mido ROM's as it's same SoC, weird that nobody has tried it.
+1.
How many threads like this we will see in Redmi Note 4 section?
I can understand ask for help to fix some bug but not request to port whole rom to different device. If you think that is easy because they are "similar", then port by your own rom from Mido to your device.
I think it's not a real request that just somebody build roms for the RM4P.
Problem is that the RM4P wont be supported very good in future because xiaomi just pulled it from the market (nougat update is not shure)
I think it would be very very useful to get a clear view on which source parts can be used for both smartphones.
Could result in some very nice sinergy effects. TBH RM4P would gain a lot more out of it... but who knows
I think there is no reason to keep device development separted when the devices are so similar
And TBH #2: I can clearly see where your restrains come from. A lot of xiaomi users are just whining all the time. Its like a bunch of kids (anybody who knows the miui.com forum might know what Im talking about)
But it would be really sad if we would miss the opportunity for sharing/caring for our two devices because of that

Well, we need to have at least a kernel to make a good kernel for use so dev can make at least one rom possible if possible, I know it's difficult to carry a ROM for a smartphone that you do not have, imagine making a ROM without knowing it , I would do it if I had conditions and knowledge about but I do not have, so we are asking for help we want at least an official 100% functional ROM
c'mon dude... what's wrong with those r4p guys that jusk ask for help...
if you can't help them better to be quiet instead of insulting them or asking them to go away...
btw for r4p guys:
I think it will be very hard dude... yes, our device share same SoC (Snapdragon 625)
but I've look into it, we have different display, touch module, camera...
there is other components too like fingerprint, modem, wifi, bluetooth, battery, etc... I'm not sure it's same between r4p and rn4.
You could try to flash one of the kernel or even rom here, but it's very dangerous and I think no one want to take the risk
It'd be great help if any developer can build a stable kernel for markw out of mido. R4p's own kernel source can help with that.
I am also a redmi 4 prime user and would love if there is something that could be done.

we ask for your help since you're a bigger community. and you have like 5 official ROM's, and we have none. if you don't know, our dev @Razziell quit because he hadn't enough money to continue. his sources are good, so if you want to help its not from scratch - we have his sources.
unfortunately r4p community doesn't have many devs(if at all) to do this job.
maybe if one dev from here talk with Razziell or help him , he might convince him to stay.
we really sorry to bother you guys with those threads, but understand our situation

You do not need to talk about things you do not know. I had problems with the hard drive and only some people from the Russian community helped them to solve. For them, I continue to work. The rest can freely use my source, they are completely working.

You have problem with HD? Why didn't say that in R4P forums, you just say that you want to stop developing because you don't have time to do it. Is that whole reson to stop sharing with R4P community ?
C'mon guys!!!
Any good dev out here?? We have a good kernel.
Not fair that Note 4x as more roms and his little brother don't!! <3

Why not fair? Unfair is your stipulation and pretensions. Its simple: more popular device = more devs = more custom roms.
This thread should be closed because if devs will want to help - they will and pretensions like above will not change anything.
I recommend you guys start taking the initiative and learn to build the kernel yourselves.

Please port miui

With plethora of 8.1 rom out here and no significant difference upcoming (no offence), can some one please port MIUI for a1 ?
Kindly do not reply with ,, do yourself or something non helpful.
No.
I'm just gonna go ahead and ask you why didn't you buy a MIUI device from the start if you like it, like Mi 5x. Porting is a lot of work and requires much time from someone to dedicate, i'm sure it might be a possibility in the future but in more of a sideproject way for someone here, but if and only if they wish to experiment with something like that and have the time. MiA1 is an AOSP device and it's focus is on stock roms, that the whole idea behind Android One anyway, if anything we should be excited about android P when it arrives!
Why?
People Come here for Other Ports of ROM than MIUI for near stock experience and while you are already getting stock OS you are whining for MIUI? Why? You could have gone for MI 5X or Redmi note 4 if its not available in your country.
Do yourself

If you want people to show you respect, earn it by not starting another thread about something that has been discussed in several topics already. Add to those discussions instead. (You aren't newto XDA so you should be aware there are search functions)
Another pointless thread. Reported.

Why there is very less rom Development for our device whereas there are good roms up for k20 pro?
Will it be like that?

You are the 1000 person who is asking this question. Please search the forum next time. 9T/K20 got not much development because xiaomi ****ed up the kernel source. So devs could cook a rom but it's a waste of time because of the ****ed up Kernel source. Xiaomi will Release the 'real' kernel source """""soon"""". So please keep patience and enjoy what we have right not
Miui 11 and Android 10 is on the way as well.
It seems developers are not interested in this device, I wouldn't expect much development.
