Hello,
I'm in need of some information about future updates for the Mi9.
In General, i know, that some firmwares or kernels can be ported, if the sources between the two devices are almost same.
So, maybe anyone else see, that our 855 is a slightly underclocked 860, but almost everything else is the same. This means, we could use the Poco X3 Pro sources or the firmwares. Maybe Android 12, but who knows it now.
What you think about that?

My thread was already open for that.
I like the idea. Mi 9 is not much supported from modding-community actually.

No, our 855 is the only thing "the same" with POCO X3 Pro, everything else is different. The fingerprint, the camera, the display, the speaker, all of them are different and they all require their own drivers, which doesn't exist in X3 Pro source code. Sure anyone with enough knowledge can try mix and match by backporting only the relevant parts, just...who would that be?
Xiaomi has launched the Redmi 10c in Nigeria for now but will roll out to other regions soon. This article contains Xiaomi Redmi 10c specifications and its price.

Ok so long story short, I'm looking at a new phone somewhere around 200 eur. The note 4x stands out to me as being good. However, I'm really confused about the different versions (CPU and stuff) and am wondering if anyone can help me out.
I've found these 2 phones. One has the Qualcomm CPU whilst the other seems to have the Mediatek helio. Which one is better/what are the key differences between them. Also, do they both ship with the Chinese MIUI or global? (sadly can't add links yet).
(I'm aware that this is sliiiightly off topic but is the note 4x the best Xiaomi phone under 200? What about the redmi 4x and others?...)
Thanks in advance, a noob who's way out of his league.
Edit: I'm stupid, both phones have the same CPU. My other questions still stand though.

YO,
Get the qualcomm snapdragon variant if you're into modding, tweaking.
Dunno about what version the device shops with, it's depends upon the regions too I guess as mine shipped with global stable (Indian variant of Redmi-note-4 (snapdragon)), you might get different version of miui installed on your device, I dunno much about MIUI version tho.
Yep, it's the best device under 200 atm.
Redmi 4X is also good one, but it has snapdragon 435 and it's better to get Redmi note 4.
hey guys when the global rom is installed is it normal for it to show up as a redmi note 4 not the 4x?
also if that is normal will it affect anything like apps working or OTA updates?

Just checked the advert. Qualcomm CPU, and it ships with global rom apparently. Granted, I'll probably be flashing some other rom.

The seller of the note 4x I'm buying from pointed out that exact thing. It's normal from what I know.
I don't think it affects apps and updates since under the skin, the 2 devices should be the near same.

Great, I want to purchase a Mi 8 SE when it is available in my country and I will install LineageOS :3
Does this basically mean we are about to see a massive surge in development of custom roms and kernels for it ?

If we're lucky! It all depends on developers adopting development for the device as with every device. But price to hardware ratio I think (and hope) that it'll happen. When a good ROM comes out, this will probably be my next device!

If it's released globally, then expect a ton of Roms and kernels
example: Mi note 3 has the sources,but is China-only, so development is pretty much dead

I do expect it too as well. It's already available from several importers. However Xiaomi announced that the 'regular' Mi 8 is coming to Europe in August - no mention of the SE version though.

A request to the devs to port the android 11 beta 1 build of Mi 10 for K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro
We also wanna experience the latest android on our devices
No we don't, a port would take so much work to get headphone jack, pop up camera and everything else to work even slightly ok, it would not be anywhere close to being a daily driver but a rom to try for a hour. In good time Xiaomi will release miui 12 android 11 beta for our device just be patient.
I don't think Xiaomi's gonna provide Android 11 for K20 Pro. They've already discontinued it's production and investing more work in it won't bring them profit. Also they've got a lot of flagships. So, I don't think they'll care about this phone. They've already given one Android update, they'll settle for it.

Just wait for the release and some custom roms will pop up, just give it some time.

They might not provide the beta but they certainly will a stable version once it's ready. Don't forget that the phone launched with Android 9, was a part of Android 10 beta testing and should receive one more Android update which would be 11. Xiaomi has always updated higher-end models with 2 Android versions just like every other OEM (except Google). It would be a shame if they left one of their most popular phones behind, wouldn't it?

Can be done from the Poco F2 Pro Android 11 Beta 1 easily, right?
porting isn't straight forward as you might think, not only that more than likely a new kernel would need to be compiled.
It probably won't be long till the k20 gets a proper beta release, imagine someone working on trying to port another devices firmware and doing a kernel for it and then a proper firmware gets released, it would be a waste of a devs time.
Most devs on here are concentrating on non miui roms, apart from xiaomi.eu firmwares no other miui roms are being kept upto date.

As far as I can tell they haven't released the beta for poco f2 pro yet, the other 2 phones don't have a pop up camera so porting would not be straight forward.
It's an early dev build which will be full of bugs, below are the features that android 11 will bring:
https://www.androidauthority.com/android-11-features-1085228/
A lot of these have already been done or very similar in custom aosp roms already available, if not more.
I wouldn't hold your breathe on this, it's probably not going to happen, and people will just wait for a proper k20 pro release

What a joke! By your logic, no phone should get 2 android updates because no company produce a particular phone model for 2 years. And, software updates profit them because it allows their royal customers happy and stick to their brand. Otherwise, they will just buy another brand with better software update. Lastly, there isn't many redmi flagships, k20 pro, k30 pro/zoom. That's it.
Even midrange Mi A2 lite got 2 android updates.
Xiaomi has pretty good record of giving updates and I am 100% sure that K20 pro will get android 11.

It's not my logic, it's Xiaomi's, so far as my observation.
Besides, the ones you're calling "Royal" customer, K20 pro is a budget flagship. The customers for this are anything but "Royal".
Mi A2 lite got the update probably because of its long lifespan.
Again, I don't have any problem if Xiaomi provides another Android update. I'm just skeptical they'll do so.

Not A12
It was said 4-5 months ago that davinci will get MIUI 13 but with A11 although I doubt now
Yep, it looks like Xiami "changed their minds" regarding Mi 9T support.
A shame.
Good thing I stayed with the untouched MIUI 12.0.5 firmware, seeing how many issues came with MIUI 12.1.X
I'll probably go for alternative firmwares once I see one in these forums that looks stable enough.

I had switched long ago to Xiaomi.eu Stable 12.5.2
It was my Daily driver for couple of months and I was satisfied (and other users on Xiaomi.eu forum and here - you could look under 9, 9T Pro, 9 SE - all those phones ended with the similar situation regarding the updates)
Still on my old 9T but I have switched in the meantime to the new daily driver, 11 Lite 5G NE

Hmmm... might try it sooner or later. Though I see that it hasn't been updated since Nov. Does that mean that the 12.5 branch won't get any more updates? (security updates at least...) Because if that's so... I'm not really sure that it's worth the hassle, right?

Seems no more upgrades for the whole series Mi 9 series.
But from my experience it is better than 12.1, 12.2
Also, you have to format Data when switching to Xiaomi.eu and IMO, that heals the issues people otherwise reported while upgrading stock to 12.1 or 12.2
If you are ok with MIUI, that's the best you can get
But it is also questionable how many custom ROMs will continue to get updates

That's what I was afraid of. LineageOS stopped supporting it too, so no luck on that side either. What a shame, because this phone is plenty capable and I see no reason to buy a new one.

Yes but you can think the same about ROM. If you settle with a good one, who cares (for a year or so) if it won't be updated.
It's important that there are other users, and that you can get help/support among them
Ok, you don't get new security updates. But apps will be continually updated for A11 for some years to come (Xiaomi.eu 12.5.2 is A11)

The phone will surely die before A10/A11 stops getting support from apps though.
Lineage from Arian is supported and updated every week. The one reason 19.1 is not popular yet, is because of data decryption is not possible yet on A12, but ROM is soooo smooth andbug free I can't wait to get it as my daily
Just thinking about buying the gt2 pro but currently using the F3 with a huge development support. Will be there in the future, this phone had a custom aosp roms?
google experience is working
This is also a huge question for me. I'm stuck on a S21+ now which, being a Samsung, obviously has no development. I want a phone that will actually have some custom ROMs like the OnePlus 10 Pro probably will. However, the GT2 Pro is just a cheaper OP10P with a much prettier design so yeah.. I hope and pray the GT2 Pro gets custom ROM's and some dedicated devs.
You'd better forget that. It's Realme, not Oneplus. I'm interested in this phone too but this company is not doing right. And as Realme, OnePlus and Oppo are all the same, I fear the worst for the future.
