/e/ rom port ? - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

Hi everyone !
A linux-rom for some smartphones, /e/ OS, is available in beta version.
Redmi 3S/3X and Redmi Note 4 have roms.
Do you think a port for santoni is possible ?
This project looks nice, founder was the creator of Mandrake linux distribution.

Interests me as well

Difference between this /e/ ROM and Lineage OS with Micro G?

Maybe few, I guess. But it's a way to salute other free (as in freedom) solutions for smartphones.

Is there any future of ROM development for Redmi 4X(santoni) ?

Searching the whole Redmi 4x a.k.a Redmi 4(India) thread on XDA I came up to know that xiaomi has not released kernel sources yet. I was looking forward to buy this device but looking at the lazy response from manufacturer I doubt the development and getting it. Share your thoughts and suggestion down below. Should I get this device or get Lenovo zuk Z2 plus which is available around the same price ?
I'm waiting for a deal to get one for my mom. I'm happy so far with my Note 4X (SD 625) which I'm running with Resurrection Remix, so I think a slighty downsized and down-specced version would be great for her. If there is no custom firmware in the near future, she'll be fine. I wouldn't wanna miss LOS or RR on my phone, but MIUI isn't bad for lots of people.
There are already a few custom ROMs for RM4X like yurekaOS based on nougat 7.1.2 and as i read in forums it seems to be running ok for the most users.
Still i wouldn't expect too much in custom development. see RM3S for example. there are ROMs available but development goes slow
So if you are no friend of MIUI (and upcoming MIUI 9) and want lot of custom development then you might consider buying another phone.
Hi,
any plans for CM 13.1 or Lineage equivalent for Redmi Note 4X Qualcomm not built on nougat?
Need Android 6 as 7+ doesn't allow for USB bus speed auto-negotiation, which is "kinda" big deal in my application.
Thanks for input

[PORT PROJECT] Sailfish OS for Oneplus 3(t)

Hello,
It would appear that there is a great deal of interest in getting Sailfish OS to run on OnePlus Devices.
There is discussion of a project taking place over at Maemo but it was suggested that this be cross-posted to XDA for more exposure.
This OS has already been successfully ported to the OP1 and the OPX, there is also a port in progress for the OP2.
I know there are many talented devs here and we could really use some assistance as the project is moving pretty slow.
Github with current state of project: github(DOT)com/Oneplus3-Sailors
I will post more info/additional links when I reach my 10 post count.
I guess we still need to wait till the Xperia X's sailfish reached stable phase.
I do want to see sailfish os port at our device but the problem is the lacking of number of developers working on the port. I wish u luck there.
Best of luck, will definitely try if port is available for op3
I am really dumb, but why are you using Cyanogen Mod repos instead of Lineage ones? Those ones haven't been updated in months.
Definitely interested in this. Sailfish OS looks quite promising and I love the meego software on my N9.
Did I hear Sailfish? I'm in!
insha'Allah we could have a port of SailFish OS. I would be very happy too. Thanks for such good news
Sent from my OnePlus 3 using XDA Labs
Thanks for your job.

Treble based latest Oxygen OS port for OnePlus 3/3T?

Redmi note 4 and 5 series got a port of Oxygen OS based on treble from OnePlus 5/5T and it works great...
Any chance we get similar ports which could ensure latest firmware ports for our devices too?
If any developer can please look into it... our devices might be able to sustain longer with the latest snappy and better than stock android Oxygen OS!
Thanks in advance. Cheers?

OnePlus announced a while ago that our device should get Android P while skipping Android 8.1, maybe bringing with it a Treble-ized OxygenOS, but since, no news.

I m not talking about the official support cus it seems that it will take a lot of time as it is taking time for even 5/5T.
I m talking about the community ports like how the OnePlus 6 got the 6T stock ROM ported.
i believe its the only device that hasnt got ports of successor (5,5t or 6, 6t) Wonder when they are coming.
i always wondered like there were samsung ports why not latest oxygen ports for older devices and today I see a youtube video for oxygen os on the oye 5 pro with 4500 downloads
come on oneplus 3 community we can port latest oxygen os

i hope that after OnePlus provides treble support, the devs too try to port latest Oxygen OS for our devices.
Fingers crossed?

Let's ask our developers to give it a try. I m sure there might be something they could do... i ll be ready to opt in for testing alpha beta phases.
However, there is Freedom OS that tries to mimic (not sure if that is ported) Oxygen OS but that is still stuck on 8.0 Nougat.

What's the current status on this, what's the most stable, complete (i.e. everything works) and featureful ROM for Redmi 8?
I'm at the dawn of my phone's custrom age, and you could save me some pain if you'd tell me your opinion. What's the best one for daily use, if you like fancy things and hate things not working?

unfortunately for us the only way to know is to try them all out since theyre all still new (@skittels15 and @IAmDeadlylxrd ). download and usage stats do say hundreds, but many of users arent here. itd be much better if they were all encouraged to join the XDA and share their experiences but yeah, what else can we do?
im currently on crdroid 07-05 and honestly i find it stable enough for daily usage (i dont play games on droids). apart from 100% 'my bads' i havent noticed anything major, @mrjoker18 has tried a ton of them though.
and honestly with the current ROM devs, id suggest to not try GSIs
To answer my own question: I'm on the SakuraOS official ROM for the past few days, and it is literally flawless. Everything works down to the tiniest stuffs, no glitches despite my serious tweaking and testing, and it's super smooth, pretty and customizable. SafetyNet works too.
Frankly, it feels like a proper manufacturer OS. Better than the original MIUI.
I also tried DotOS before it for a week, which was nice, but had a few glitches. GPS didn't work, couldn't record video with the included camera app, and I had some random reboot and freezes. I also prefer SakuraOS's look TBH.

Аll @IAmDeadlylxrd's and my roms tested and not have critical bugs and recommended for daily use. Don't panic about bugs. And all roms tested by maintainers and some users from our Telegram-communities. All roms is tested before release to public.
About DotOS: this rom have bugged sourcecode. All device-specified bugs was fixed long time ago in device tree. All roms have only rom's source-specified bugs.

Bro its not possible on this phone as the kernel source has not been released by xiaomi yet.
Xiaomi uses GPL like it's toilet paper. Because of this, almost one year after the device's release we don't have source code available yet. Fortunately available custom Android-based ROMs work because the chipset is kinda popular, but there's no WIP for a Sailfish OS port.
