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.

What would it take for a developer to be able to release a Lineage/CM type ROM for this phone? Do you guys think it is a possibility in the near future or will this never happen?

Source code for starters is probably helpful, and that might take a while with xiaomi....

I've experienced that with the Mi5, Cyanogenmod builds came very quickly after Xiaomi released the kernel sources. I'm also waiting for them, this device would be so much better with Lineage OS, or anything other than a MIUI rom, although the EPIC rom is getting fairly close
You can follow the official github for xiaomi devices here: https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource
Mi5 owners also did a petition though, asking Xiaomi to release the kernel sources for the mi5, maybe we should do the same for the MIX ?

Right but its not a true build. It's using the sources that were released for the Mi5s.
i am very confusing times with the talks
some of the dev said lineage team will deliver lithium rom when device hits the android 7.0 update
sooo can we build a aosp marshmellow rom or ve stay awake for the xiaomi to release the kernel for mix?
there is nothing at all to be confused about. if there is no source code released there will be no AOSP. we should be bugging Xiaomi for the source, if that was out we'd have AOSP roms already.
probably best to make a thread on the MIUI forums to urge them to release source

If you know of any threads that pressure MIUI let me know would love to bug them a bit for source code lol

here is your link http://en.miui.com/thread-539978-1-1.html
MIUI is not open source.
If you want an open source OS, do not buy a xiaomi device.
Xiaomi does not release the source code, even if they use as base the android code which is open source (this is permitted by the Apache license).
They don't even release the code of the modified kernel, even if they are obliged by the GNU GPL licence of linux.
Does it mean we get never lineage or resurrection Rom,?

someday perhaps, it may though take some time
Unless Xiaomi release Mi Mix internationally, I don't see this happening anytime soon. The relatively small user base doesn't help either.
The Mi Pad source was only released three years after release, to give you an idea.
Like most Mix owners, I love the phone but hated its software. MIUI is just not for users outside of China.
This is my first Xiaomi phone and will probably be my last. Will either go for Google phones or OnePlus.

Here is an unofficial Resurrection Rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/development/rom-resurrection-remix-04-09-2017-t3587049
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.
Sailfish OS
its here guys
I'm waiting

What are you waiting? The ROM is out, thread link is provided a couple of posts above. It's in 3t forum.

What does this mean, can developers now develop roms for 6a?

I think - Yes. Also maybe anyone can compile now x64 kernel for our x64 cpu device (at this moment we have only x32 kernel).
@Dreyk007
we still don't have a working vendor and tree. the only thing that matters for me right now is a working vendor considering from what i know it's the answer to getting voLTE to work on GSI rom's.

does this include the specific vendor? proprietary ones don't seem to be useful as far as i know. I plan to get on device development when my new PC is built (2 weeks-1 month) since i know the basics already.

There's some dude trying to build LOS 15.1 on Telegram Groups, the RIL isn't working unfortunately.
I don't understand
Have you looked at the Telegram group? A lot of development seems to bypass xda these days. That slightly worries me as the ROMs are all unofficial and I'm always worried what might get added - surprising we don't get ROM based malware more often. At least here reputation is long term so that seems less of a risk.

Yes, I'm up to date on telegram, that's why I ask, they are all unofficial custom roms or ports and I don't understand why no dev team works on official roms

I wish I knew - staying on MIUI until there's something official, ideally crDroid, Lineage or similar long term projects.
To avoid any errors of judgement:
Official ROM maintainers are not supposed to make changes to the source. So, they are not likely to fix any bug which is related to the source. Meanwhile, unofficial ROM maintainers are not having any restrictions. They are free to make any changes to the source to suit their needs. So, the unofficial maintainers often fix source-related bugs before the official one.

That's how I understand it, and having that level of code review in the official builds is what almost guarantees you can trust a ROM with your banking etc. I haven't actually heard of any unofficial ROM being naughty, but there's nothing to stop it.

For having used with several devices, several official or unofficial roms over several years, I have never had a problem with banking apps (for those who support them, of course).
Note that when there are no more brand updates, the developers are obliged to modify the source to continue to develop the rom.
XDA is a trustworthy source, for others I don't know.
And following that explanation...why are there other low-priced xiaomi models and also old models that have many official roms here on xda? I am very concerned that we have many unofficial aosp roms on telegram and here on xda absolutely none. Why do the devs of this model never publish on xda and other xiaomi models do? That doesn't give me confidence and I still don't understand

And because Xiaomi is incompetent in terms of releasing Kernel Source

Xiaomi 11T Pro codename vili Kernel is still stuck on Android 11 meanwhile we are expecting Android 13 soon.
Many devices are missing there and also lack of kernel update.
