Hi,
Requirements: Custom ROM support
Another requirement : More Custom ROM support
I googled and find that Xiaomi did not release their Kernal and source code yet.
Is going release them near soon.
What is the situation on Xiaomi side.
Previously I've used OnePlus 9R ( of course all custom ROM only)
Kindly advise.

Kernal and device trees for Redmi note 12 5g Sunstone · Issue #4227 · MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource
Hi, Kindly release Kernal and device trees for Redmi note 12 5g Sunstone. Do not close this issue without releasing, if it's already released kindly make them public or share link here.

Let's face it. You buy Redmi devices because it's best value for money and Xiaomi is able to subsidize the hardware by putting ads on your phone, so it's not in their best interest to help you put custom ROM on it.
if you really prioritize custom roms then pay a couple of dollars more and get a OnePlus.
do not buy redmi!you should never get the experience after has one redmi device

While Snapdragon has CM14, Mediatek has only CM12.1. Why Redmi Note 3 (Mediatek) is left behind?
Well, MediaTek is known of very bad in terms of custom developing. They just rarely releases source code.
So Xiaomi also didn't release source code for hennessy yet. And I'm 100% sure they won't do it. Without that it's hard to make stable custom ROM, because devs can't build custom kernel.
Also there are many more people who have SD than MTK and more people=better community=more custom developing
as said by kubap, Mediatek and Nvidia devices (except that nexus 7) won't get their source code released so developers can't build any stable ROM from source, that's why you get ported or no roms.
And MTK Redmis are banned in India right now. Whole India has only Snapdragon RN3. Snapdragon edition is the most popular all over the world. So the developers are mainly from China.
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).

Will Realme release source code for Realme 6? Thoughts....
Seems it was released two months ago
github.com/realme-kernel-opensource/realme6-kernel-source
Ain't anyone developing custom rom for it?
Why isn't any one making custom ROMs for realme 6??
The redmi note 8 pro with the same chipset as realme 6 is very much a head in terms of custom ROMs and custom recoveries, developers have been doing so much hard work to bring custom ROMs to redmi note 8 pro as redmi devices especially with mediatek chipsets are tuff to get unbricked if something wrong due to the wierd EDL mode in their devices,compared to that realme devices don't have such user restrictions when compared to redmi devices,many people are eagerly waiting for custom ROMs for realme 6,please look into this thread,and can any one tell me at which time we will be seeing custom ROMs for this device.. thank you

Join TG group for updates its Realme 6 Official named.
Send me the link of it
I bought a moto edge 20 fusion from Flipkart almost a week ago. I've been watching this forum for a week but there have been no posts whatsovever. So this led me to wonder wether this phone will get any custom rom at all.
Even a bootloader unlock or custom recovery for this device would be much appreciated.

Yeah same thoughts, only hindrance is the MediaTek SoC. I read around and it seems MediaTek doesn't share their source code or libraries to public like SnapDragon which is necessary for custom ROM development. Also read that one Xiaomi device with mediaTek had great custom ROM support as Xiaomi provided the source code or other resource, so it's not impossible to build custom ROM. Let's hope Motorola and MediaTek provide resources.

- Poco M2
- Redmi 9 Prime
- Realme 1
- Realme U1
- Realme C2
He is also maintaining PE officially for Redmi 9 Prime and Poco M2.

Device trees and Kernal are used to develop any custom ROM, without no developer would develop a custom.

Subject: Request for Kernel and Device Trees for Redmi Note 12 5G Sunstone
Body : Dear Xiaomi Team,
I am a user of the Redmi Note 12 5G india Sunstone device and I am writing to request the release of the kernel and device trees for this device.
As an enthusiast and developer, I am interested in customizing my device and contributing to the development of custom ROMs and kernels. However, I am unable to do so without access to the necessary kernel and device tree sources.
I kindly request that Xiaomi release the kernel and device trees for the Redmi Note 12 5G Sunstone, as this will enable the development community to create custom ROMs and kernels for the device, and also improve the overall user experience.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your continued support for the development community and look forward to hearing back from you.
