We need Xiaomi to release their source code to create ROMs that work properly.
No way to recompile and reverse engineering ?

The developer of cm14.1 for our device is already working on that. As for porting roms like Huawei ROM, other ROM it depends on whether people are interested or not. It is possible by using the patchrom method. Juts depends on whether people are interested are not. For example, there are people interested in maiing cm14.1 and now we do have an alpha build
Just let the people take their time. this is still a relatively new device.

because I have owned 3 xiaomi devices. Trust me. Like I said, it depends on whether people (developers) are interested or not.
as for cm14.1 update, we will never know.
hi . porting roms mt6797 to our device is it same as porting MT67XX To MT67XX, the way is easy there are many guides on net and videos, because Redmi Note 4 MTK haven't devellopent like SnapDragon version.
I'm looking into the possibility of getting Resurrection Remix Marshmallow AOSP ROM running on the Galaxy A5 2017 device of Model Number(s):
A520F (Single SIM Variant)
A520F/DS (Dual SIM Variant)
I've made time available on my hands as i'm a fan of the ROM and it would be great running it up and functional on this device.
I'm hoping this post increases popularity as to attract experienced developers so i can get all the help i need since building an AOSP ROM such as Resurrection Remix from sctrach is very challenging and time consuming.
The Official A5 2017 AOSP (Devs Only) Whatsapp Group is available for all of the developers who would like to join it in helping me bring this Project to life. If your interested in joining and helping, simply post down below your intention in doing so along with your International Contact Number.
Btw here's the Resurrection OS Marshmallow Source:
https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/platform_manifest/blob/marshmallow/README.mkdn
And here's our device's kernel source which was released by Samsung:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=A520F
I wanna too, for A3 2017
Wasn't there something on the Whatsapp group about collecting donations for an experienced dev to buy this phone so he could port the rom? I would love to see Resurrection Remix on my A520W. Maybe if a post was made on the forum about donating, more people would see it.
I think that it's will be never possible ,because "Exynox" cpu (drivers problems.....like others devices,like some galaxy note...) ...
But it was truth in the past ....and maybe i was wrong now ,i don't know the last development ...

Ha ok ,good new for source .:good:
And yes...pity...samsung (exept "s" series) is less and less interested ...
In the past i loved customs roms but now it's maybe good for low and some middle devices but i think that it's a good "regression" ,we loose some good stock options and functiins (like finger print...etc...)... don't have the full exploitation of photo ...less performance.....etc...(samsung stock patent !!!) But yes....with some customs we can change the size,position and color of the hour,battery...etc...lol ! And cm/lineage sourced is not as "stable" as stock firmware ...
Lineage OS in on the horizon. Maybe this will help inspire other developers to take up the Resurrection Remix project or develop their own custom ROMs. But good things are coming in the future.

Well I'm in this group and it's been brought up a few times ⟶ https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/how-to/galaxy-a5-2017-whatsapp-t3561455
Maybe hit up the OP and see if you could get in on the action.

I see the thread has been closed and no more users are being added to the group, how can we keep up to date? I'm very interested in this phone but I'm holding back until I can see that LineageOS has a developer/maintainer.

If you hit me up on WhatsApp I can try and get the OP to add you to the group. I'll talk to him that you're interested in helping out with the development of Lineage. But once Nougat drops, I think the resources will be available on GitHub.
I hope install the rom too man. a5 a520f/ds.

I'm not sure that will mi pad get android Oreo unofficial though it's capable of running smoothly and google has already given the source code so let's hope to get it on our beast. Support this thread and hopefully the developers would read and help us. ?
Like your enthusiasm. But first let us get a proper build of Android N. I am sure once we get everything going for N, developers will shift their attention to O as I believe our hardware is plenty capable to run the OS.
I don't think android n stable?
The UI of android n is glitchy and some laggyness is there. ?

lol the android N in our tab is still on beta stage, don't hope for an android O.
this kind of thread shouldn't make at first place though
Developers are working with shield kernel once that is finished you can hope for Oreo
I have an idea to port Android 9.0 Pie to the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime. This will most likely be able to be ported to all models of this device.
The idea is that we can port a rom from the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017), since the specs of the device are *exactly* the same. (If you want to find out for yourself, click this link for the specs of the J5 Prime: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_j5_prime-8342.php#g570y , and click this link for the J3 (2017): https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_j3_(2017)-8438.php )
The specs are exactly the same (at least on paper), so theoretically speaking, we should be able to port this device's new update, which is Android 9.0 Pie, with Samsung's One UI. First, we should try dirty flashing a rom (Using Odin, since all custom roms are just oreo roms, and most require a stock rom installed already), and see if it at least boots up. If not, we customize software, and try to help it become compatible with the hardware inside of the Galaxy J5 Prime.
Now, here are the problems we will be facing. First, the device tree might be slightly different, which could hinder the process of porting this rom. Second, modifying the stock software is really difficult, especially if you don"t have any experience in porting roms. Third, not all apps are going to be compatible, like the Camera app, unless modified with the data from the oreo Camera app we have in our roms now. And fourth, Wifi and Bluetooth may not work in the first few builds, but could be fixed with using the oreo Wifi and Bluetooth APKs and libs.
So, now that we have gotten all that info out of the way, which developers would like to help? I can do it myself, but I have never ported a rom before, but have done a good amount of research on it. I DO have a test device, which is my trusty old Galaxy J5 Prime (M model). But I would still appreciate some professional help. Anyone can pitch in, but you need some experience or some knowledge on porting roms. And that includes you, tutibreaker! You made so many good roms, and I think you can really help the community on this one!

I understand that tutibreaker is already working on a port. However, I'm sorry to be pessimistic, but I don't think it's going to be possible; mainly because Samsung still does not release the source code of some kernel M. Anyway you can enter to his Telegram group and try to speak directly with him.
* I am dev, but I am not interested in Android Pie. I prefer to stay in Oreo with root and my mods.
PD: Galaxy J2 Core (J260); J3 2017 (J330); J4 (J400); Xcover 4 (G390). Everyone has the same processor. I was investigating a little. Only for curiosity.

Thanks for replying, LUCiON3! I understand that getting the source code is impossible, but we can still try. I mean, it's been done many times before. And most of those ports are mostly bugless, and work flawlessly. So if those ports can work, I bet that this port will work flawlessly, when put in front of the right person. And I also consider joining tutibreaker's Telegram group, and try to speak with him directly, of course without asking the ETA of the rom. Also say thanks to tutibreaker from me. (Or I can do it myself lol):good:
Edit: I did know that the Xcover and the J2 had the same SoCs, but did not know about the J4 having the same one too. The things you learn everyday!

Hey I'm interested in this please....
I bought this device 6 months ago and since then I've been curious about custom roms in here, and some time ago they released the kernel source for Kyoto (Motorola Edge 20 Lite)
Currently working on TWRP. It's working but a few more bits to iron out before releasing. Watch this space
As far as custom Roms... Can't help.. GSIs work fine though

Is there hope? I'm a n00b but from what I've heard developing custom ROMs for MediaTek processor is basically impossible.

i think that has more to do with the source code being released or not. it has however been released: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-source-released.4407299/

Are you willing to test the kernel?
Sakthivel Nadar, has agreed to develop kernel and roms, he is maintaining roms and did bringup for these devices.
- Poco M2
- Redmi 9 Prime
- Realme 1
- Realme U1
- Realme C2
He is also maintaining PE officially for Redmi 9 Prime and Poco M2.
All the above devices are based on mediatek chipsets.
Here's his GitHub for reference.

https://download.pixelexperience.org/team/sparxfusion
I would be interested in testing a custom ROM on this device. However, is there any risk of hard-bricking the device beyond the point of no redemption?
I have not been a custom ROM tester before.
