I think mi note 2 has been out for a long time but it seems that developers without much attention to this phone. I'm curiously Why ?
Because of old story - MIUI never release kernel source code ? or ...
Whatever it is, I would like to see there is lineageOS 14.1 in this phone.

It's the old story of lack of kernel source. Historically kernel sources have been released about 3/4 months after global rom availability, which happened a few days ago.
It doesn't help that availability all round has been limited for these. With so many people wanting the global edition and there being shortages of that model there's just not that many of these around at the moment in the hands of people that want to mod it. MIUI is very popular in China.
I'm hoping another 3-6 months we'll start to see some serious progress.
Luckily it's in the same device tree as a few other recent releases so there's some level of cross compatibility, lithium (Mi Mix) for example would require only minor modification to work and there seems to be more dev interest in that,
I did consider making a cooked MIUI rom for the Mi Note 2 (inc. xposed, root, a few tweaks here and there) but there didn't seem to be much demand and realistically if you want those features you already get them yourself without any real struggle.
I'm an old dev for CyanogenMod on Xperia.
I will try to put Lineage OS when the source of the kernel will be available.
A port can be possible with the source of the One Plus 3t (i supposed) but is better to wait official release of the kernel.

These Lineage builds are by HondaJohn88 who I'm working with.
I've been bugging him to post them himself (when he does I'll get the old thread locked) but he hasn't yet.
Be aware that not every build he uploads is one that he's planning on sharing (or even an improvement over the last) - occasionally things break and some are more for archiving than actual use.
He shares his work in the Mi Note 2 Telegram group so I'd recommend joining so you can find out which build would be the most worthwhile.

Also I lost the IMEI (still have the number on a sticker) and so far failing miserably to restore it.

Is it possible for someone to take the oreo build from the Axon 7 and tweak it for the mini or is that wishful thinking

I would suggest patience. Custom ROM development was just started on this phone a few months ago. The main dev working on it, tdm, is trying to get an official LineageOS 14.1 build (Nougat) done. It's not impossible, but I doubt it's easy because although their names are similar, they're two distinctly different devices. It'll be much easier if ZTE goes crazy and does an Oreo update for the Mini.
I wasn't expecting or demanding a working rom. I understand these things take time. I was just curious as if it may be a simple process considering the differences between devices. I have been very involved in the development forums and have been testing and reporting the builds as they are released. I am content with the current releases of custom roms.

Ah, the limitations of typed words. I didn't intend to imply you were being demanding. I'm not a developer, but I doubt we'll see Oreo on the Mini unless ZTE has an official release. I'm currently on Lineage 14.1 on the Mini and every build keeps getting better (with a few bumps along the way of course). I'll love it if I'm wrong about this of course
Sent from my Axon 7 Mini using XDA Labs
Tdm has said a while back that he may begin work on Oreo once LineageOS 15.1 nightlies begin rolling out or when the maintainer for the HTC One A9 builds Oreo for it.

I would try myself but I don't know how to do that so if any developer know how to do it and can do it please work on it. With this we could boot generic aosp img and the development and rom choose would be bigher
Thanks a lot and let's start the discussion

LOS 15.1
What do you think are the chances of this device getting support for Project Treble in the future, either from an official implementation with the MIUI 9.5 update or unofficial community port? I'm on the verge of purchasing this device but the lack of Treble is the only thing holding me back at the moment. Treble will be revolutionary for custom ROM support in 2018 and so it wouldn't make sense for a flashaholic like myself to purchase a device without it.
I already bought the device, but I would really like treble support for this phone

Fair enough. I'm just unsure what to do at the moment because I want to buy this phone but don't want to invest in something that won't receive Treble support in a few months time. Maybe I should just wait and see what the Mi7 has to offer, as that will come with Oreo pre-installed like the Mi MIX 2S. Hopefully it won't come with a notch.

Why do you care about treble so much for a device that already has AOSP support ?, N Based ROMs are fully stable-ish at this point, O based ROMs will follow after Miui O update, so treble wont do that much for us
but if you end up getting Mix 2S or any other device with treble support, you dont have to wait for devs to support to your phone, just unlock & flash GSI builds, Treble is still a hit or miss follow Honor/Huawei devices forums for more info's

Thanks. I was interested in Treble mainly because it would allow flashing Treble-based ROMs that could be installed on any device. When Android P comes around it would mean getting it a lot quicker than if the phone did not have support for Project Treble. Still, it's good to know that all the currently available ROMs for the Mi Note 3 are stable and Oreo ROMs will be coming shortly. It looks like Oreo is scheduled for mid-April so there isn't too much longer to wait.
I cannot wait to see treble ported for our mi note 3
I'm starting to think xiaomi won't release an Oreo MIUI for Mi Note 3. If that's the case, will we be forever stuck in nougat? I thought if our device get treble supports, upgrades to later Android Versions (P, Q, and so on) will be assured. But it's like hoping for an Oreo ROM is already too much
Hey,Can anyone please guide me how to build an Oxygen OS for the Mi Note 3?It would be of great help... regards

Ppl here about project treble because with it, you can get faster android upgrades and custom ROMS on Pie or oreo
Hello guys,
This is my first post, so thanks for any help before hand.
I have one of the phones that came with the infamous Oxygen bootloader.
And i am loking for help in order to update it to latest release avaliable.
I am on the android version 7.1.2, MiUI v9.0.3.0, my phone identifies itself as 5x, but from my understanding the only difference between the 2 version is the fingerprint sensor and a few cellular band support .
My ROM is a custom ROM that i found in another forum and flashed trought the miflash application.
I am not sure about the rom version yet, because the A1 has android Pie now, and the ROM for the X5 is still Oreo with the MiUI 10, so i am open to suggestions.
I would prefer to transform my phone into a A1 and get ride of the Oxygen bootloader if possible.
Ofc the best option is the safest way and the one that dosen t cripple my phone, because right now it works perfectly fine as day one, with exception to the battery lifetime, but i guess thats normal for a phone with 15 months.
Thanks for the help.
Hi,
As of December 2021, is there an alternative ROM that would reliably work for Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime?
I am asking because the standard MIUI ROM has not been updated for years and I am having quite a few glitches - I think, because of that. For example, Vivaldi browser and Fairemail frequently crash, as well as some other programs.
I am looking for something that would, really, just work, hardware- and software-wise. With no bugs. At least with no serious bugs.
My understanding is that the choice is not wide. Please report if you have tested a ROM that works for Redmi 4 Prime in late 2021. I don't want to throw away this phone.
I'm using the unofficial CrDroid by redispade and it's amazing. Best ROM i've used, everything works just fine except that I couldn't get device encryption working properly but if you don't need it it's a great Android 10 ROM.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-13-07-2020-crdroid-6-8-10-0-markw.4020259/
sadly there don't seem to be any recent updates/roms for our cool markw

That's the thing. I need encryption to keep my data safe.
I wonder if Lineage OS has any encryption issues. I read that when the drive is encrypted, you cannot use fingerprint unblocking. Perhaps there are issues with encryption itself, too.
Thanks for the reply though.
In my opinion, actually, the best Rom out there is lineage 17.1, in terms of stability, whole functionality and amazing battery backup, poor about the feature just in line with lineage tradition (just the possibility to reboot or power off in notification panel).
Of course the encryption make problematic the fingerprint recognition, as each interesting cusrom for Markw!
Sorry for my English.

Thanks for the reply. There's already Lineage 18 for Markw, compiled by Shihabzzz. Is there a way to make encryption and fingerprint compatible though?

In my experience, nowadays, the 17 is more stable to 18 (every @ShihabZzz works is absolute accurate). You can try also mokee 9 or 10 and i suggest you orange fox recovery, the last one official 10.1 to try encryption (sorry but i never used encryption in my devices!)

Thanks, Autokoise. I have asked to confirm if the bug disappeared in the newer LOS versions.
I am using ported miui rom NSA based on miui eu.I am happy with it.It is android 9.I have no major bugs but I don't use encryption sao I can't tell you nothing about it.I tried many roms.Crdroid ,arrowos ,havoc lineage os bit I prefer ported miui.It is so sad that markw never get official android version update.
