Official TWRP & LOS? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

Any body has any idea when they'll be released?
ETA or guesstimate? Within a month or year?
I'm asking this because I have no idea when.

it's not looking good for us, the device has been out for 6 months and we have nothing.
i think someone said the devs are not skilled enough to decrypt the device and that is why we have nothing.
they are also struggling to port the 48mpixel camera.
so for now miui is the best choice, sadly.

I was wondering why there aren't so many custom roms for this device while it's a very successful mid range budget phone. Your reasons could be right. Could it also be that many users are not really unhappy with the stock rom? Maybe that's also why there aren't many comments and threads for this device here in XDA? Coming from Samsung j7, I honestly have not much to complain about the stock rom, especially after getting rid off many bloatwares without rooting the phone. I can unlock my bootloader in 2 days, but I'm not sure I'll do that to install any of the currently available custom roms. I'm thinking of waiting for a while.

Maybe because Xiaomi EU works just well. There aren't ads, and the UI is smooth too. Also ram used bhi OS is 1.3-4 gigs. It's smooth

It was released by end of February. Dont repeat this "its soooo old" **** so often..
It has nothing to do with decryption. The device must be attractive and it does Not seem so popular.
If you want, use gsi Rom. Or build a rom from source. Or buy the device For a good Developer as a Gift...
//Edit: btw i told you a few weeks ago the Release Date. You said "oh sorry you are right" but you cant stop crying. Please sell your device and leave xda...

Keep patience, they are on their way for Redmi Note 7.

meh nice.. but source?

Ok, Honor 8 in every page than we open on xda..
but, do we know if they're going to release the source code?
so we can get rid of this emui and install CM without too many bug..
do we have some info?
Source is out

You can start working even if you don't have the source from Huawei, We did that on the P8 Lite (Kirin 620) and no one gave us any source.
I have heard that the Honor development department is reviewing the requests list that XDA sent. (However I can't find that list, maybe I am wrong). @svetius knows for sure.
EDIT:
I read about it here: http://www.xda-developers.com/honor-8-xda-review/#Dev

It isn't.
Still no official release, but I guess by the end of this month.
EMUI is good, but personally I perfer CM more.
I don't know. I like EMUI, using it with my Honor 6. But I feel that devs here could really improve it much much more thant Honor themselves could. I really hope that Honor/Huawei will release the source for their SOCs, as they are some really, really good ones.

Every time I read the word 'Source' at this section I think that people are not getting the point. If you think that a 'source' is what you need to magically have CM, AOSP etc then you are wrong, what you need is an interested developer (more than one if possible) who owns the phone (90% of the people posting, including me, don't).
This means that:
a) If Honor releases any kind of 'source', that doesn't mean that it's going to be complete, clear, or useful for porting roms (like the kernel, it isn't needed for that )
b) Even if they release something (and I doubt they will), it's not going to be 'plug and play'.
What I mean is, don't get too excited with any 'source' that comes from Huawei, the only way to know if this phone is developer-friendly is by waiting until you see projects coming.
I'm looking for a phone and so far the Honor 8 seems the most interesting for me. None of the other available phones really caught my interest. Nexus 5x, new google phone or Mi5 maybe but they all have flaws. And I really want something with NFC.
I'm not a fan of glass back phones but it does look real fancy on this one. No selling point but a nice bonus.
I'm planning on doing 'something' with the honor 8 if I get one. Kernel sources would help I guess. Haven't really messed with system code yet, just apps.
Hope they release it soon if they haven't yet.
Does Huawei normally release their sources? The Xiaomi Mi5 looks nice on hardware level (but no sd card slot) but I'm still a bit weary of Xiaomi.
Well even if they don't, we can still make EMUI based roms right?
Good luck to all developers. Hope I'll be one of you soon

Yes, but you can find them inside a firmware update or even at your own firmware.
The problem is, that Huawei instead of creating their own files (they created some), they modified the ones that were already there, so there are lots of incompatibilities.

I've heard that too,but they need to quit this ****. OEMS and Google drop support on phones 2-3 years. I really have no desire to continue buying new phones. It's not like the OP3T can't handle future updates. The hardware alone is good enough.

That's no reason to stop support, in fact that's a reason to have more support! I expect support for the 3 and 3T to be stopped quite quickly.

free upgrade would be my guess.
idk why people are so upset about this. Ur phone still works right? ur on xda right? there will always be development for your phone until it becomes so old that no one wants to use it. Seeing people on OnePlus' facebook page complaining that there is no more support for OP2 is ridiculous. Its old. 2 years is very old in the tech world. Tech is survival of the fittest as well. If the OEM decides that a device is not worth it to support, most likely because not many people are on the OP2 anyway, then thats their choice. you've got nougat in one of the ROMs on xda if u want it that badly. Most major android updates like N and O dont add much anyways. I havent noticed my user experience change at all with android N from M on the 3t. the only nougat feature i use is the double tap recents to swap apps really fast, but if memory serves its a stock OOS shortcut. No matter what, there will always be people whom will complain, and those whom are never happy. Upgrade or dont. Dont come from the OP2 forums to complain on the 3/3t forums. besides, if you like your phone, why not upgrade it? Oneplus phones hold their value very well. Sell it and upgrade it. The 5 looks like it will be a great option to upgrade to.
Where is he issue? Unlike the heavily modified systems from e.g. Samsung, OnePlus has a relatively unmodified base. If they are sane, they fork the main code base for new devices, thus making it easy to keep a base and just have different drivers/basebands for different hardware used. Unless they want to drop support, it should be possible to support at least the 3(T) for years to come.
Nobody is forced to upgrade, the 3(T) is an excellent device. Plus open bootloader etc.
damn y'all trippin the op3t will at least be supported for one more year or so, plus we have great devs

Out of stock doesn't mean discontinued support.
Obviously they want to sell the remaining stock before putting out op5.
I see nothing wrong there.
What if I want to replace my battery after a year ? Do I need to resort to buying some non OEM battery ?

There will always be some spare parts for replace. Any company does this, you can ask the same thing for other brands after a new one comes out too. Beside that, I don't think you need a battery replacemente after 1 year, except for defective parts. If warranty is over and there are no official parts available, yes you go non oem.
If they:
• Release camera blobs
• Fixing their faulty Camera2 API implementation
Then they can also stop supporting the device. Maybe rude, but those are the only things I want to have, before they close the doors. Hopefully, they'll at least release a fix for the Camera2 API with the next final OOS and then... yeah .
Oh no! I need a hug.

Mix developer support abandonment

I've got this feeling, after the sad goodbye of dear @pappschumpfl, that development support for this beloved and wonderful device is weaning and slowly but surely disappearing. Checking the development section for other xiaomi devices like redmi note 4 or mi6 you can see a lot more movement, discussion and activity.
Anyway, just makes me sad this feeling and I believe it is not only a feeling... With the coming of Mix 2 it will probably get worse. Or maybe with the Mix getting cheaper it will change for the better in the future? What are your thoughts on this people?
There is of course AICP and those guys work is fantastic! But they are mostly alone right now...
Im pretty sure he meant that its his final Nougat rom, as everyone building roms for any device has now moved on to Oreo, so Im guessing we will see more updates once the Oreo roms have been figured out...
As you can see there are a fair amount of roms for the Mi Mix.......

Well none of them are maintaining their builds except for BitO, who's given us Multirom and a fantastic Kernel :victory:
As for Papps he got a Note 8 and I have no idea if he's gona be building an Oreo rom for lithium. He doesn't have to of course.
Anyway, maybe you are right

I think this was inevitable with the Mix being a niche device.
I hope we get Oreo eventually, but at least we have some ROMs that are stable.
Final RR is pretty damn good.
Mix was a high end device, high priced device and now it's an outdated device... basically a standard life for a chinese phone on XDA like this one... exemple is based on large sell device, redmi/mi5/mi6... not the same as ur Mix...
Sadly, i think like u... device will go to trash silently...
Also, around the forums we've seen various devs state that we'll see O
IMO, it would be OK just seeing security patches for what we already have.
I have a Nexus 6P and whilst us enthusiasts want the latest and greatest, honestly there isn't anything worth getting too excited about.
I think it will be maintained for awhile, the sort of people who bought the mix are the ones who like to mess and build ROMs (hoping), only time will tell. Let's face it there is nothing worth buying over this at the moment.
but of course, you can also learn how to build roms, etc.

This is a very good point.
For beginners, here is a step by step for LOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lithium/build
Its not out dated and won't be for a while yet - it is odd and requires an interest in making roms. I am sure there will be development for the roms, people are so down these days.

Oreo will come in time - people really need to learn to be more patient. It has some very good nougat roms already.
Every 15 days aprox you have a new updated build here https://download.lineageos.org/lithium
Lineage OS oficial is running for lithium.
I don't understand the tittle of the post.
Worst comes to worst Lineage will be released for our Mixs. If it comes down to it, I'll start developing a Rom.

Doesn't work using the cm-15 branch so far... Or I couldn't make it work anyway. Problem is in Mix sources though, not LOS source...
I think Paps might come back. I went to Note 8 but will be back on a new Mix tomorrow. Missing that beautiful 3 side non existent bezel.
I wrote this OP over two months ago and in this time, luckily Papps hasn't abandoned us completely (thanks!) and BitObsession has been providing awesome work and support, several builds, Multitom and a fantastic kernel (thanks!!!). Also AOSiP came and is being maintained I think, so good enough maybe. The guys behind AICP keep also their work (thanks too!).
What seems still so far away that it seems to me we might not see it is Oreo... Anybody with info on wether the good guys at Lineage are working on Oreo for Lithium??
It's of course ok if dev support stays as it is, and developers do what they want with their devices, but it would surely be nice to see our Mix being upgraded to the latest Android as the flagship it is.
Thanks everybody.

Bad News If You're Waiting For Oreo 8.0 On The 7X:

Sorry Guys...
If you were hoping to get updated to EMUI / OREO 8.0 in Quarter One...
Like Huawei / Honor PROMISED!
Then it saddens me to inform you it's not coming until at least Quarter Two of 2018 now...
https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-7x-honor-8-emui-8-q2-2018-honor-france/
Are you sticking with the 7X now?
I personally don't like companies that lie to their customers.. They should have never thrown Quarter One out there if they new they were not going to meet target.
It's the "Budget Phone" of the 2017 lineup.. but this is still a slap in the face.
It's still coming just a little late.
You sound like a junkie desperate for a fix.
It missed the target by a few weeks a month or more there's bigger things to worry about.
Compare it to the recent botch job of a update by Xiaomi.

It's not that bad.We are getting it just a bit late .I personally think it's better to wait than getting a totally messy miui 9 device.EMUI is much better and offers better customisation than MIUI.

Now Huawei / Honor Has Shown Their True Colors....
THIS IS THE BOTTOM TIER UNIT.. AND NOT WORTH ANY REAL EFFORT.. In their eyes.
There is not a Gosh Darn Reason this should not have gotten Oreo by now when the View 10 lanuched with it.. and now, they are saying it may not be here until JUNE!
It's because it a $199.99 phone... that's why.
I personally do not like being lied to.. I went through this with ZTE.. promising 7.0 and giving nothing.
I do believe they also promised the 6X Nougat.. and delayed and delayed it.. ( Did it ever get it? )
And Finally,
What Does This Do To The Development Community ?
There Is No Nougat Image Even Released ! and it's been over 60 days since this device went on sale !
There Sure As Hell Ain't Going To Be An Oreo Image Released at this pace UNTIL July / August !!!
Can't create any ROM's without any Images! Stripped or Otherwise.
Project Treble.......................................Down The Drain........... now, for at least several months.
If Ever.
Do You See ANY Developer's Waiting Around For This Device ?
Not when the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, Moto G6 Plus, OnePlus 6 Hell..... EVEN HONOR"S OWN VIEW 10! are right there and will have STRONG Developmental Support behind each and every one of them.
All of you that rooted.... you did the right thing... may as well have fun with it if you are going to keep it (Just don't muck it up so you can at least sell it at some point)
Even though it's feature packed (in my eyes) for a budget device Honor is just not "Honorable"
That means A LOT to me. And you're telling us you can't get the final tweaks right within the next 50+ days???
Then you are not putting forth much effort to meet target on your bottom of the line device.
And the competition I mentioned is just around the corner.. and they WILL LAUNCH with Oreo 8.0.. and get TREMENDOUS Development Support... with or without the advantages of Project Treble...
The 7X 's Loyalty Is About To Be Tested.
Doesnt bother me actually... id I NEED Oreo, ill likely just hop on a custom rom (Already got a beta AOSP Oreo out) but happy with 7 for now. I came form the V8 Blade Pro so waiting another Q or 2 isn't that bad.
I'd rather wait for a finished product as opposed to getting a half assed rushed disaster tbh.
I find it disappointing that there is not a full firmware available for download.
Are they delaying Oreo for other reasons? They should at least have the firmware for Nougat.
How did they install from the factory? Seems a little lame.
When did they promise a Q1 release? Cause any time I've reached out to customer service, all they told me was "soon." I know there was some XDA article about it back in like September, but I never really determined if that was anything more than hearsay.
Honor US has said they're shooting for a release "by April", which technically does not rule out a Feb/March release (though I doubt it will come before April).
It's Not That Good..

I don't take it well being LIED to by a company.. Bargin Basement phone or not.. if you are UNAWARE of whats going on in Your Own Labs.. and have NO REAL IDEA when you can have a project THAT YOU PROMISED would be completed within a given time frame then, STFU and don't throw Wild Completion Dates out there that you unable to keep. Honor Oreo works on the View 10.. but NOT on the 7x ???
IT'S RIDICULOUS. :angel:
And you're right.. If the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 OR the Moto G6 Plus looks as good as the renders... with the support they will get WORLDWIDE this thing is out the door.

WHERE???
I don't see ANY ROM's here on XDA... Where Is This Beta ???
Is it some hack in someone's basement ???
SOURCE FOR DOWNLOAD PLEASE ? www._______________________.com ??? :laugh::laugh::laugh:
I somewhat agree though I'm not too ticked off. This is a very solid phone, but by the time we get 8.0 (April apparently) Android P will already be in the works. Well, just know that I'll most likely never purchase another Honor device again. The Moto G6 Plus is looking really attractive though, I might ditch the 7x for the G6 this coming summer.
Go look in the Roms, kernels forum, it's there.
I'd like to see a list of which companies have NOT missed delivery dates at some point for their updates along the way. It isn't unusual at all, and doesn't really meet the criteria of a lie in my opinion, but everyone can take it how they like. I've managed projects before so I know that timelines slip for many reasons, very rarely is it becuase of a desire to decieve anyone. But I can't ascribe motive to them, I can only see what is happening. Anyway, sorry it has apparrently been a life-destorying moment for some to hear this news, but I agree with many on here that I would rather get a stable release even if it slips a little bit. Being in the USA I know I'll get it last anyway, so it isn't something I'm checking for every day anyway.
Dude chill a little man damn. Big deal, things get delayed, **** happens. And there is a rom posted in the rom section of this phone. How could you miss it when you post in almost every thread when anyone talks about rooting their phone. It's right here man,

It's not by "some hack in their basement" it's posted by OpenKirin which is a known development group. Sometimes you sound like you freaking work for Huawei and now you sound like you work for their competitors. Phones been out like two months or so and you're expecting to be flooded with updates and whatnot.

I don't take it well being LIED to by a company..

Honor Oreo works on the View 10.. but NOT on the 7x ???
IT'S RIDICULOUS. :angel:
And you're right.. If the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 OR the Moto G6 Plus looks as good as the renders... with the support they will get WORLDWIDE this thing is out the door.
Custom ROM ???
WHERE???
I don't see ANY ROM's here on XDA... Where Is This Beta ???
Is it some hack in someone's basement ???

That ROM is a WIP with all 3 cameras broken and BT disabled. If you chose to flash that ROM and haven't made a stock back up then you're SOL.

I find it disappointing that there is not a full firmware available for download.
Are they delaying Oreo for other reasons? They should at least have the firmware for Nougat.
How did they install from the factory? Seems a little lame.

When did they promise a Q1 release? Cause any time I've reached out to customer service, all they told me was "soon." I know there was some XDA article about it back in like September, but I never really determined if that was anything more than hearsay.
Honor US has said they're shooting for a release which technically does not rule out a Feb/March release (though I doubt it will come before April).

I somewhat agree though I'm not too ticked off. This is a very solid phone, but by the time we get 8.0 (April apparently) Android P will already be in the works. Well, just know that I'll most likely never purchase another Honor device again. The Moto G6 Plus is looking really attractive though, I might ditch the 7x for the G6 this coming summer.

Man.. I'm with you on the Moto G6 Plus!
It may cost $30.00 to $60.00 more.. But as we are now seeing here You Get What You Pay For.
I had a Moto G5 Plus screen was just too small for me but, Developer Support almost from day one was OFF THE HOOK! Great Camera's as well. And now with the styling catching up to the times... Oh Man! :good:
But have you seen the renders of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 ? Most Sexy Sub-$300.00 device on the planet..

I EXPECT NOT TO BE LIED TO... It may mean nothing to you.. because you are so Enamoured with this device.. and that's your call..
And, since you have hung on to my every word.. you should know.. This Is My Call on the 7x..
Other Honor devices have it.. The View 10 Launched with it.
This is the "Step-Child" phone in their lineup.. and now you are seeing it's true place in the pecking order..
Ask Yourself.. Does That Bother You? Being Last In Line Behind Close Doors.. But Being Touted As An Equal In Public.. OUCH!

Do u expect the Moto G6 Plus to get newer versions of Android faster? The Moto G5 Plus released with Nougat and has never recieved the Oreo update. The patches date back to October or November whereas the Honor 7X is recieving the Feb security patches on some units.
I don't really get why r people freaking out abt this. U paid $199 which is a great value, so what if an update got delayed by a month or 2. Samsung has done this, Motorola has done it too many times to even count.
Oreo 8.0 has a bad rep for being unstable which is making it hard for OEMs to roll the update out.
And finally u can't expect a company to give equal emphasis to a BUDGET phone and to a FLAGSHIP phone. Thats the reality. Pick up any samsumg mid Ranger and u'll find that the Honor 7X has recieved more updates, the same goes for anything from Motorola. The Honor View 10 is reported to cost around $400-$450 which is twice the cost of the Honor 7X.
There is the argument abt Dev support but I can guarantee atleast 90-95% ppl using Android don't care abt ROMs or rooting.

Custom roms

So, sad news, spoke to a few devs,RR and Havoc, both said they currently have no plans in the near future to support the 8 pro because it's too expensive to buy

They don't need to, if they get the 8 it'll run more than likely.

Maybe, but so far, development is sad and depressing. Carbon ROM, Lineage and PA Roms are hit and miss on installs and twrp doesn't fully work so devs are staying away
Seriously tho, what happened to current development? Like, the only Roms being updated is Paranoid Android and that's basically just stock aosp with no features. Lineage and carbon hasn't done anything recently and it looks like twrp has been abandoned. Guess I wasted money buying the 8 pro. Anyone want to buy mine for $750?
Yes 7 pro development was way too fast compared to 8 but I'm not loosing hope, good things will come sooner or later, cheers.
Maybe because buying an almost 1000$ phone and then ruining things like camera quality and have bugs all over the software by flashing a custom rom is a weird thing to do, especially if it's a daily driver and it's too expensive to buy it as an development device.

Samsung phones phones sucks in terms of speed and one UI ... especially with exynos chip..that's why.. second of course many people have a Samsung so more people use ..more people do development

"Paranoid Android and that's basically just stock aosp with no features."
Yeah no
Also feel free to build a ROM or contribute to TWRP yourself.
You could have done research on both of these before buying the phone.

To be fair the s20 plus even with exynos performs very well and is smooth. You don't need root for it to be like and there apps now without root to disable Bixby etc.

And an efuse chip that voids your warranty. Can't say the same for OnePlus.
Also the non US versions of all Samsung devices use Exynos chipsets, which means they are slow and overheat.
But they are useless in the US - do not have critical network frequencies. That is only reason I went to OnePlus 8 pro. Otherwise would not have touched it.
So was talking going to RR Dev and said he wants to build for us but no aosp sources available.
