So we should expect it for the Redmi Note 2 as well right?

Yes, Redmi Note 2 already have MIUI v7
~ Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime ~

I may be mistaken but it doesn't have an official global MIUI 7 version yet.

Xiaomi Redmi 3S - sources?

Hey... so we got somebody porting the kernel, but I have been away from Xiaomi for a long while (Xiaomi Mi 2) ... and Miui never did it for me and it still won't now.
So I was wondering, how long before they will release anything? Do they release for all devices now or only a selection?
Just out of curiousity

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Custom Roms Support Redmi 3s??

You cannot install redmi 4 roms on redmi 3s prime because the processors are different

U did it ?

I read in another forum where one man install global rom from 3s to redmi 4. So device was bricked and then he can't install even official china rom for redmi 4 by MiFlash

Nougat update for MTK variant?

Hi guys
Any news about the Nougat update for the Redmi Note 4 MediaTek variant? Is this phone even planned to receive it? I mean it's still a new phone and it's weird for it to be abandoned by Xiaomi so quickly, the Snapdragon version which came out way after the MTK version has already Android 7. Please share with us any information you have about this subject
Thanks!

No-one here could possibly tell you...only Xiaomi knows that...
We willingly purchased this device with Android 6.0 only in the knowledge that it will be updated regularly with bug fixes & security updates etc & anything more than that is a bonus.

Same situation with RMN2/3 MTK version (Helio X10) when they released device with Android 5.0.2 and stuck forever with it, while RMN3 SD version already updated to Android 7.0 (there is screenshots of beta MIUI8 with Android N).
Because Qualcomm always released kernel source code so community developer can help build latest Android version, while Mediatek doesn't release any source code and if manufacturer want to upgrade they device to new Android version, they must pay a huge money for Mediatek (Mediatek keep kernel source code, you must ask them upgrade these kernel source code while Qualcomm do it for free) .

Hate to burst your bubble but that Nougat update is referring to Mi5 only.
You have to be careful & read between the lines with the releases.

I got this info from the miui forum. First thread, Miui 8.2 is based on Android nougat. Second thread, its coming to redmi note 4 mtk (and snap dragon and a list of devices) after Feb 20th. Well, I certainly hope its true and keep our fingers crossed

---------- Post added at 07:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------
this was also found on the gizbot.com site. With heading title "Android Nougat based MIUI 8.2 Stable ROM to roll out from tomorrow".
Try to Google search the article to confirm then check the official miui forum for the thread on which devices will receive miui 8.2. I got it from the miui forum app. Same as all mtk note 4 users, I'm also hoping to receive Nougat on my redmi note 4 mtk. Let's all keep fingers crossed that it will be released in a few months time as indicated on the miui forum.

Further confirmation from xiaomininja.com - "MIUI 8.2 Global Stable ROM Starts Rolling Out Today" by Estrella Starr.
The 8.2 china stable ROM will be released tomorrow, refer to excerpts below. The china note 4 is mtk, while the 4X is snapdragon. That means the MTK kernel source for the Helio X20 has been made available to Xiaomi.
"....Aside MIUI 8.2 Global Stable ROM, the company will also roll out the MIUI 8.2 China Stable ROM will be released for public tomorrow as well...."

no. because the device tree is still missing. without device tree = no port & no working custom rom

Nikel (Redmi Note 4) will never get a working Nougat ROM. Instead of complaining, you should simply stop buying phones with MTK. They never receive Android upgrades or custom ROMs.
