Plz sign the petition if you guys want that the kernel sources must be released.

If kernel sources aren't released yet, how is it possible that there are some custom ROMs already out there?

Dude without kernel sources the devs cannot build or modify custom kernels. Else it has nothing to do with roms as the rom sources are ported from lineage or aosp sources and modified accordingly. without kernel sources there isn't much room for kernel optimisation and modification for better performance or battery as the devs have to use the stock kernel of the device.

So those custom ROMs are using the stock kernel, copied from the original MIUI ROMs?

Yeah with few optimizations and changes.

Xiaomi / every android manufacturer has to release the kernel sources anyway, right? Is there an ETA, or how long does it usually take for a xiaomi device for the sources being released? I am considering buying this phone.
2nd question: rooting or unlocking bootloader goes with the manufacturer's page right? I checked it out and it was in chinese, me as an english user, will i manage to get the phone unlocked?
Petition is signed anyway. I also contacted the global service through mail asking about the REDMI4X32_GLB_BLK kernel source release. Will keep you updated if I get a response
Edit: I just ordered a moto g5 but will keep u updated if I should get any info from xiaomi support.
Edit2: Reply from the Xiaomi team:
Greetings from Xiaomi!
Thank you for writing us. I will be glad to assist you.
I understand that you wish to know regarding the release of Kernel source. I would like to inform you that as of now we do not have any such update and provisions regarding the launch of Kernel source for the Redmi 4X, so we would not be able to guide you regarding the same and the reason behind its non-release. You may refer our Official Website http://www.mi.com/en/ and Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/xiaomiglobal for more information.
Should you have any further queries, feel free to write back to us. We'll be glad to assist you further.
Thank you for being a valued customer. Have a great day ahead!

LineageOS 15.x SM-N950F

Hi XDA Cummunity,
I have my Galaxy Note 8 now already 1 year and wait since then for a LianageOS build unfortunately no one has appeared yet.
That's why I would like to create one by myself. But I have a few questions for you experts.
Generally, I would go through this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/how-to-build-lineageos-14-1-t3551484) and see how far I'm coming.
I think I will get Problems at point 8 Prepare the device-specific.
My questions now in general:
1. Where can I get a suitable kernel?
2. Is there a way to take over the code from the Lianage OS build for the Galaxy S9?
3. Are there any other issues I need to be aware of?
Best,
Daniel

Tread u did send is 4 devices fully supported by lineageOS with all source code on github . U just create ur own linaegeOS with same bugs and same stuff like every other lineageOS made 4 xxx device . But without any code published here u wont be able to do **** . 4 Lineage there is need 4 expirienced developer who know stuff.

* A device (supported by LineageOS)"

Device Sources for Asus Zenfone Max M2 [X01AD]

Hello guys,
I'm Rohan (aka erikkkkk & rohanpls), I maintain DotOS and Revenge OS (CAF edition) for Zenfone Max Pro M2.
As you all have been enlightened that I was working on building ROM for this device (from telegram group). I don't own this device but I figured a way to bring device tree and vendor sources for this device. Current status is that I couldn't make the kernel work (it's hard especially if you don't own the device).
I have stopped working on this for now because I am busy with exams, so I planned to make them public because if experienced kernel developer could take interest in making kernel work in the meantime then ROM would be ready. I will start working for device again once I am free. Device tree and vendor source is already ready, they just need to sync and build.
I brought TWRP for this device, and it will be OFFICIAL too.
Here are the sources:
Device tree: https://github.com/rohanpls/android_device_asus_X01AD
Vendor Source: https://github.com/rohanpls/vendor_asus_X01AD
For kernel devs to get started, Asus provided kernel source can be found at: https://www.asus.com/in/Phone/Zenfone-Max-M2-ZB632KL/HelpDesk_Download/
If any developer wants to contact me then pm me via telegram: Mod edit - Removed
Cheers!
EDIT: Credits to ashu7073 for helping me by testing few stuff on his device.

NOTE to interested devs: Please explore branches for device tree! I suggest not to use pie branch.

Thanks a lot dev... I am waiting for your work.. all the best for your exam... Happy to see a thread regards max m2... Hope somebody will build a rom... Eagerly waiting for the custom ROM...

Those sources are really, really bad. I suggest interested developers to make trees from scratch instead (as your's are full of mistakes).

When are you getting back into it? I really need a custom rom!

Any custom rom bro

Can you please make for Zenfone Max M1 (msm8937)
We have booted kernel source

Decrypted file link no file is there please reuplod

General EXYNOS S21 series - TWRP and root

As some of you know s21 source is out, it is possible to build custom recovery and obtain root.
Actually ordinary magisk root method is not working for us: patched boot image does not boot...no old method is working.
I asked a skilled developer, @afaneh92 (he already made custom twrp for galaxy phones in past) to help us but at present he does not have the phone so what he builds is actually tested just by me.
WHAT WE NEED
- many alpha tester (if many people help us we can test things almost intanctaneily)
- some good ideas from other skilled developers
- someone who can make a "BOUNTY" so we can encourage development
I have made a telegram group forstarting this adventure and to share real time our progresses.
https://t.me/joinchat/H7UFBxjpms2aubmO
devs and testers u are welcome!

Work in progress...

Nobody knows how to make a bounty?

Nobody interested?

Im interested just not sure how to help...ive tried everything on sm-996B.. have joined the chat..

any progress?

I think you need to use this:

[DEVELOPMENT] [TB-X606F/X606X/X606V] Device tree bringup for the TB-X606 family

Hey y'all, I've been recently working on a device tree for the X606F (codenamed "achilles6_row_wifi").
I do not have much experience on this topic, so I am essentially doing this blindly, basing it off other's work. I am currently only targeting the X606F, but X606X/V may also be supported.
I am looking for someone to collaborate with, I have an Android build machine ready to test changes. As I saw that Android 12 GSIs boot, I tried to build LineageOS 19.1, but ended up in the usual "black-screen bootloop", I don't know how to debug this so I am looking for someone to help
