Compatibility - Mi3 and Mi4 - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, just a easy question, are all roms for Mi3 flashable for Mi4? Thanks

Yes. It because they do have the same base spec and source code, hence the same code "Cancro".
Although the NFC-related features won't work, since Mi4 doesn't have NFC.

[Q] Device code name

Have Kernel Sources Been Fully Released For The Xiaomi Mi3 & Mi4 ?

If not is this the reason why the majority of Lollipop roms for the Mi3 & Mi4 are buggy etc ?
As far as i know, the kernel has been released but partially. Some drivers (modules) has not.
Sounds about right. Thats a shame though. I hope this is rectified for future Xiaomi devices, because so far Cancro devices have had alot of roms showing up on XDA.
I dont think xiaomi will release this kind of things because their goal is make you buy a new phone.. we should skip buying xiaomi devices..
is this the reason devs are facing problem is building a Stable Lollipop ?

Make physical home button act like a virtual in Cyanogenmod 13

Hello all,
I have a Xiaomi mi 5 and in MIUI there was a option that the physical home button would detect of you touch it, making it the same as a virtual home key on any other device.
Now i've flashed Cyanogenmod but there is no option in it, is there perhaps another way? Since i'm running CM13 and i have xposed i'm not sure where to post this question so i hope here is the right place.
Thanks!
This feature is yet to be implemented in any of the custom roms as it required kernel source of mi5. The kernel source has been recently released by Xiaomi so hopefully devs are working on it and will implement this feature is coming builds.

Question Will This One Get Custom Rom Support

So hey rom developers and other modders in xda, my question is that I liked the poco m3 pro or the redmi note 10 5g. This came at an intresting price and I like to buy this one. My question is that is this one will get the developers eye or will this one get any custom rom support. Generally number of roms is less for mediatek phones. I want to buy this and my concerns are custom roms. So will i get some custom roms or a custom recovery for this one.....
Please answer my question. Thanks in advance. Sorry about my grammar if any mistakes are there
I may not be an developer but from the point of view over the past years it should be more then certain, that phones which does have a MTK processor are not going in the pleasure to enjoy custom ROM's. The reason for that is, that in order to develop a custom ROM the source code for the device (processor) has to made public in order to start active development of an custom ROM. Over the past few years MTK did not release much source code like their competitor Qualcomm does.
So at this point I would highly doubt any kind of active custom ROM development for this device or other devices which are based on the some platform. So if POCO or Xiaomi decide that the time hast come for the POCO M3 Pro to go EOL (END OF LIFE) status, then this also means, that you are stock with the last ROM version from the brand.
In order to enjoy or get at least in the field of custom ROM's, it is more as recommended to get an device which an Qualcomm processor. With this you can also use your device after the EOL status.
well at least we can now root the Redmi Note 10 5G

It will, because this device already have a kernel source

I know nothing about custom rom development, but what you linked is for redmi note 10, it's a different phone with snapdragon.

No, it's based on mediatek chipset. "Camellia" codename is refer to redmi note 10 5G. I know it makes us confused because xiaomi doesn't even make a different model name (same as redmi note 10 pro (4G) and redmi note 10 pro 5G) on their source code. The snapdragon based (4G version) was already have it's own kernel source with "mojito" codename
