[Q] Will Xiaomi ever going to release Redmi 5 Plus Oreo Kernel Source soon? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello dear devs, i believe you have more experience than me about this stuff. Since i heard kernel source code i mean updated one requires for Pie based ROM's, do you think Xiaomi will ever release updated kernel sources soon? Please let us know since a lot of people wants to taste Pie ROMs..

We don't need oreo source for pie roms actually, but it would be a newer source, maybe better drivers n'stuff? it could be different for other devs, but for me it's just an update

How is the ROM support for this phone?

Is there any word of official cyanogen for it?
We won't see official CM unless LeEco release their kernel source code.

any custom rom that based 7.1.2 android

Any one is there to port latest android naugat update 7.1.2
Peace out man....its just released,.....give developers some time to update the roms
7.1.2 is not yet out in stable version. And only Google's own devices get beta android updates. But hopefully it will be available in the coming weeks for everyone.
There are rumors of 3rd April as the date.

[Question] LineageOS for Redmi 5 Plus (vince)

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)

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).

Stable oxygenos pie for poco ?

As the title States, is there any oxygenos stable pie ROM available for our device, if it's not available I'd request anyone to port for our beloved device. Undoubtedly oxygenos is better atleast to me it's better than stock. I'd like to see it, as it got ported to many devices like rn5, rn4, 4 and so on. Thank you.

I'd say until this gets ported, if it does.... Try Lineage OS., its basically stock android with extra features, quite similar to Oxygen OS, and the OnePlus devices originally had Cyanogen OS (Lineage OS predecessor) installed on them.
You could also try this magisk module, it would bring some of the OxygenOS features to any ROM as long as you have Magisk installed.
