Need help to port a rom for Redmi Note 4 Sanpdragon - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hi All,
I wanna port a kitkat rom for redmi note 4 but I'm unable to find any rom to port. I am new to rom porting. Can anyone please help me to find a perfect aosp rom of kitkat which suites redmi note 4 mido. I have found a guide to port but can't be able to find port rom. Any help will be appreciated. Sorry for bad english.

First of all, I think you are in the wrong section of the forum. But the mods will take care of this soon. But why do you want to use such and old android version? It is extremely outdated.

On kitkat Device will be in Extreme risk as There will be no new patches(staightfright and blueborne) and kitkat has low performance issue.
Missing Gate-keeper so any app will get permission directly

You can't port a KitKat ROM to our beloved mido as minimum firmware's SDK is of marshmallow.

I like aosp roms and I'm currently using lineage os (oreo). I want to install xposed framework which is not yet released. Kitkat is a lite and good version of android. It supports almost all module of xposed. So please guide me to build a stable rom.

Brother , not all module works but on kitkat each and every module works fine. Kitkat is not a bad rom. People dont like because of security reasons and old look. Just guide me i wanna make for myself.

Kitkat is too old. So it's maybe impossible to port

Nobody will 'guide' you through the process of making a rom here. If it were that easy every pajeet in this forum would be making roms everyday. There's a lot that goes in to it.

Why Kitkat? I think it's near impossible to make it happen ;_;
Security issue will broke your phone, maybe

You can't port Lollipop/KitKat or lower version of android on mido, due to incompatibility with the SoC, as the minimum API Level is 23 or Marshmallow. Also, it isn't a computer, you can't install Lollipop or it's previous version of android on mido, just like can you install previous version of Windows/Linux on a computer.

check out the qualcomm website it says the minimum core sdk supported is marshmallow, even though you get a kitkat base there are going to be bugs impossible to fix. Even if it boots, hardware will not be usable, the blobs are not supported by android version. what exactly are you going to do? build the rom from source or just port the blobs?
