Will there be a LineageOS for the Redmi 5 Plus soon? (Codename: Vince)
It got a snapdragon 625 so it shouldnt be that hard, isnt it? Or is something important missing so there will no custom roms soon?
If someone CAN build LineageOS for this device, but hasn't got enough resources for this, please contact me via PM. I'll able to set up a Server
(Just for Lineageos )
Good question - should be fairly straightforward in theory, but changes in displays, touch panels, cameras and fingerprint sensors will always present a unique set of challenges for an experienced dev considering there is no kernel source code yet. Redmi Note 4 development efforts will definitely help no doubt as certain blobs should be ported over without issue, but a bit of classic reverse engineering and testing will be needed to begin with. Building 7.1.2 shouldn't be too hard, but 8.0 will be a little trickier until codebases stabilise. Really hoping that MIUI 10 introduces treble support!
Will definitely be keen to test ROMs as they become available for the Redmi 5 plus though, seems like a decent successor to the Redmi Note 4 even if the lack of an SOC upgrade makes it a little boring as an upgrade - but they won't be selling the Redmi Note 4 forever.

Yea sure, no kernel source is a problem, and as it seems Xiaomi wont release any kernel sources soon anymore .. take a look at the Mi A1.
For my knowledge, treble will be ONLY available if the devices COMES with Android 8(.1)

There is treble support for Huawei mate 9. And it didn't come with Oreo 8.1

did it come at least with 8.0?
Do we have information if the Lineage team is working on an official version? This seems like it will be a quite high volume phone.

I am planning to buy the redmi 5 plus ( aka Redmi note 5 in India), but i can't withstand miui. I hope there are developments regarding the custom roms for this device very soon. Currently on redmi 4x (Crdroid custom rom).

Hello Community,
iam using atm a OP6 with stock OS and a OP3T with Lineage OS. Right now i got 2 old phones from my family (an old Windows Phone and a Gigaset phone) and i want to experiment with them. I read thats there is an Ubuntu Touch Version out and OS distributions like Plasma OS or Tizen OS sound like they are worth testing too. All in all, my question is: What OS do you guys use for your phones at the moment ?

Hi everyone, I'm wondering what specs a smartphone needs to run Android 10. I got a 2015 smartphone (Umi Iron Pro), can I flash a ROM based on Android 10?

A ROM has to be compiled for your device and its specs. You can't flash any ROM as you wish. Search if any are available.
I know that but my question was different. I'm sorry for my english but if I compile a ROM based on android 10 for my phone, would it run on that phone, who is from 2015?
Hello all the expert
anyone know if there will be a workable version window 11 install to mi pad 5 pro 12.4
Thanks!
Yes!! Please, I really wanted a win 11, I was so sad when I saw that the working one it's only for the regular mi pad 5.
there are no drivers for the snapdragon 865/870 (SM8250) yet
trying to install windows with the nabu installation guide might brick your device
what you can do is either try to port it yourself or wait until someone else does it
