Sometimes you need to use custom roms to get rid of the features you don't want to use.

Samsung hasn't made things particularly easier for developers, but at least things like root aren't significantly harder for the end-user. You have Noble Kernel for root, Official TWRP is available, and Xposed for ARM64 TouchWiz works on the Note5 as well. It's still early to tell, but right now I am running Xposed with no problems. The multitasking fix for the S6 (DHA/FHA in the build.prop) works on this phone and makes the 4GB of RAM shine as they should. The microSD card slot and removable battery losses are thoroughly felt when flashing and transferring files, but the storage speed in this device makes most procedures easier too. I am content with my setup and can't wait to see more. Custom Kernels with better governors would be great, and that plus optimized custom ROMs could fix many of Samsung's decisions.
Any more info about community development for this device?
It's new
Other devs will make their way over @sac23, I'd love to see something from you over here. We got a damn good rom with @tdunham and his team, that's a hell of a good start! Development for the note 5 will definitely keep getting better! :good:
Good times ahead!
If anyone has heard of @sac23, you know his work. If you don't, I suggest checking it out, we'll be getting a new visitor soon....
XDA are very good development family, they do really great job, but samsung just keeps the Exynos CPUs locked, so no major rom updates available (E.g. my fav CM).
The community here, we'll for the Verizon variant of this phone is good, not very good or excellent but it's good. We generally don't flame each other or any bullying. We help each other with our thoughts about best case, car mount, wireless charger etc. Even though we do not have root, recovery or roms. It's good. I imagine if we did root, recovery and roms. These forum's would be hella busy for rom development.

I used to be a supporter of the X4 but I am no longer. First - most phones allow the transfer of applications to the SD card. The X4 doesn't. Given that system files take up 28 of a 32 GB phone there is nothing left (even with all media files moved.) My apps won't even update anymore without my individually going through each app and deleting the cache. Second - latest Android update removed the ability to connect the phone to my PC. It's not even recognized as a USB device. These are real problems Moto. My phone is fairly new but beyond the return period otherwise I'd return it.
Overall, the development aspect of this phone has been lower than any phone I have ever owned. There is still some development and discussions in other sections for different Android builds, camera mods, etc but much, MUCH less than other phones.
That being said, despite the issue that ranros raised (which I also dislike), I am as please with this phone as I have been with any previous phone (if only I was able to root my old S5s...).
I've recently acquired the X4 and noticed the device trees are either very unreliable or straight up missing.. I was looking for Oreo & Pie trees to build with since there's Official builds but they either don't seem to exist or just a big pain to find

With so many intelligent people around... (Proud to be a part of Xda for over a decade...
I feel, MotoOne Power being Android One (And Stock Android)
There would be a lot of scope but of course ~
Motorola One Power is always less secure than any other Android One device in the market, due to prolonged delays in security updates.
I think custom roms can provide latest security updates compared to stock let's see how Google Android one can give us updates.

OMG!:laugh::laugh:
Noob spotted.
I think custom ROM will provide more functionality that the stock Android. We will get more battery backup and custom kernel can charge more faster
I highly appreciates developers for their great work

Have a Lenovo P2a42 with custom rom installed, and bought MOP for Android One, but now I feel custom roms are better than Android one stock rom. I will reamain grateful to senior developers if they look for some custom rom development for our device.? Custom roms like AEX and pixel experience..

Yes 8 pro can keep up with every day of use, bring it on.
I was about to buy this phone, giving Mediatek a chance... But then the bricks started happening, and ROMs are not showing up yet. Why Mediatek can't keep up still? I just can't understand. It's a shame, but I won't be buying this phone.
I have RN8 pro and i am happy with it! Mediatek is fast and stable, I am still giving chance.
- Brick problem is with Android 10 and I think it will get better with official Xiaomi update.
- Gcam is working, it needs just more configuration.
- GPS and WIFI are great, battery too.
Looking forward seeing more ROMs and development.
The redmi note 8 pro can do more than keep up it's a great device. source code has been released and phones have been sent out to devs and TWRP custom recovery is working good as well as root. xiaomi is pushing the mediatek SOC with them knowing there will be development for there chips. I'm very impressed by this phone in every way it's performance, daily useage, stability, battery performance, screen is great for ips lcd, gorrila glass 5 front & rear and the camera has blown every phone iv'e owned out of the water. The conventional SD chip has development across the board so sit back and watch the development happen.
I've have the phone for three weeks now. Seems to be a good phone. My privacy interest prevents me from using the phone until a custom ROM is available (I personally wouldn't use Google services and miui services). I unlocked the bootloader (waiting time was 168 hours) and now I'm going to wait for a custom ROM and that's fine.
But I did a few tests with the camera and the camera is really fast and the quality is great.
ADB/Fastboot tools debloat
Don´t wait just use "ADB/Fastboot tools debloat" to remove or freeze the apps
I did that to be aware of my privacy like you
i think no...redmi note 8 pro will be bricked and need authorized account to flash...this hard for development when its bricked
I think Xiaomi.eu official statement say IT clearly. No support and avoid MTK chips for future.

Nah. I wanna use a custom ROM and afwall, xprivacylua, etc. But thanks.
Do we have any news about development and new ROMs coming?
No one knows. And that's the problem. There is NO reliable way to get updates about this phone. None of the so called developers have a work in progress thread where they share development. So people tend to speculate.
Just bought a Note 8 Pro...i'm hoping that some developers love this phone too

Yes there is big movement.
Share this article, make post on Twitter to @XiaoMi and contact YouTobers. We are waiting for response of Xiaomi now.
I really wanted to buy this phone. Cheap with awesome specs but custom ROMs and kernels are a must. I hope this brick issue gets solved quick.

It's Great phone! There is no better for the same price.
We have to fight, pushing Xiaomi to work harder.
Yes! I still have hope for this device even after it did brick once. Keep pushing forward and they will surely listen to our demand.

Sadly, some people doesn't have that much time or patience for such. :/
Happy to contribute to crowdfunding for development of Lineage OS and other Android distros on the Pro. Looks like a great phone with a lot of potential for the price!

+ Easy to root
+ TWRP
- 1 developer
- No ROMs
- No kernels
This is an extremely niche model, so it won't see much attention.
