Hello guys this is my first time buying any Xiaomi device, I earlier purchased Moto g5 plus but sold it later cuz it doesn't had a 64bit OS, Now as we know kernel source of Redmi note 4(Snap) is not yet released by Xiaomi , signing petitions and writing +1 on their git does nothing, so I just wanna ask is it ever gonna be released by them or not? As for Redmi note 3 , they released it's kernel source ,so for Redmi note 4 , sooner or later r they gonna release it some time in future or not?
I think they MUST release it publicly, because of GPL license.

Realme 1 will be popular among developers for sure.XDA acknowledged it by opening a page for our device even before its sale has started.So all that is good.
Now coming to the problems,
We all know that mediatek is infamous for not releasing kernel sources.That makes it difficult for the developers to build custom ROMs.
On a more positive note since the realme one is based on 8.1 Oreo,I am guessing that its project treble compatible(somebody please confirm this) which makes the custom ROM development easier.
So the final question,
Will we get fully working custom ROMs of future android versions even if oppo and mediatek does not release kernel sources?Will project treble help in doing that??
You most probably will not. Snapdragon phones have better development, for example, the Redmi 4A did not have kernel source till recently, yet we had bugless Nougat ROMs, and now with source we have Oreo. It all depends on developer support, Oppo is not a brand that interests developers, on top of that it is a Mediatek phone, your custom ROM dreams may well be shattered. A few ported ROMs may be made if any developer decides to make it but will most likely be too buggy.

True.But oppo has never released a phone like this.
This phone has the same chipset(helio p60) of oppo f7 which is two times more costly than the realme 1.Therefore it offers immense value for money.And this will attract a lot of customers.Normally when a device has a huge customer base and if it is a value for money device, developers usually become interested in those devices.
Also I know know that both mediatek and oppo have violated GPL many times by not releasing the sources.But since this device is treble compatible,it should solve that problem to a certain extent right?
I am open to discussion...

Yes it will help, as project treble is a initiative by Google to help developers create custom roms without approaching Vendor(Oppo) or the Manufacturer(Mediatek).

I don't need root access, but there are issues with Color OS 5.
Like:
1. New notification pop appear for 3-4 seconds and you cannot swipe and close them, you need to wait to automatically close them, hampering your work. In other OS you can simply swipe left/right/both to close popup.
2. If you enable development option, then yellow notification will show constantly to close it, until you close mode. Why can't I use function like mock location, etc.
3. If you use app which use accessibility services (like Greenify) then it will constantly show notifcation bar sign to close, it means you cannot use Developer Mode or Accessibility Services Apps.
Hope Oppo will fixes these issues with Color OS in future updates.

It confirmed via email. The reply is given below:
"Thank you for writing to RealMe Customer Service regarding Project Treble inquiry.
We are delighted to inform you that your RealMe 1 device supports Project Treble. It is already enabled in your device."
But after some researchs i realised that even if it could support project treble, we still can't flash GSI rom with a locked bootloader. (Correct me if it is a wrong findings)

You need to wait for kernel sources to get released so devs can work on custom roms. If we get a TWRP recovery, you can try out the A/B GSI roms which are good but slightly buggy. If you want a bugfree rom, you need to wait a while, maybe a month or so.
Thanks bro when can we expect releases of kernel source another quarter
I few months/weeks back i read a new article on xda about xiaomi stating that they will now start releasing source codes faster.
Anyone else also read that?
Haven't xiaomi released the codes for KENZO yet ?
It should increase custom ROMs performance drastically, right?
Thankyou!

Dude Source code released already. Source code is not like a raw material or fuel which is fed everyday to increase in performace of device.
Xiaomi dont care if source code is open to public. They would rather prefer to keep it closed source so that their userbase stick to the miui and not move to custom roms.
Only reason they give source code coz its based on qualcomm chip which is open source friendly. The reason u will see custom roms for xiaomi snapdragon devices.
Mediatek chip is based on closed source thats why no development or custom roms based on mediatek devices.
Xiaomi dont plan to give nougat or oreo to kenzo so why they will release new source code for new android version.
They only said it for new devices which are treble compliant. It will be easy for them to write the code based on treble standards. Hence they will push it faster. Not for kenzo.
So tc and Sweet dreams.
And this thread is helpful how? It will take time, as anything else.
This might not be the most popular/widespread model, and so custom rom development will be slow/limited. Most will probably jump for the "big gun" K20 PRO with SD855 seing the price difference is small, unless they need the extra global LTE bands.
It seems to be supported by xiaomi.eu though? or does this not qualify as a custom rom for some reason?
stable version:
The MI9T / K20 / davinci does not appear in the supported devices list over here, but it does show up in the downloads section over here
weekly:
It does show up in the supported devices list over here, but does not show up in the downloads section here.
So I'm not sure what's going on here.

Me too i was confused, and i have ask question about support, in k20/mi9t device forum thread .
they said that it is supported.
and on xiaomi site about downloads roms, k20/mi9t has only global stable, while chines version has developer 9.6.20. and if it is xeu rom based on chines, i dont know why there is no at least xeu developer 9.6.20 version of rom.
Kernel source also broke, that's not helpful for building custom roms.
I think global rom =indian rom and for Chinese only release build is created
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

Oh, that's nice I'll keep my eye here in case something happens!
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.
github.com/sparxfusion
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.
