Does the Mx5 have any sort of dev support?

Basically the title!
I'm thinking of getting an mx5 here in India! Coming from Nexus, Cant get myself to use anyother environment other than stock! Is there any AOSP or AOKP or CM builds for this ? I did a Brief search and found no support!
Thanks in Advance!

Gotcha, So, even if we were to unlock the bootloader, We still don't have the kernel sources right? Its a mediatek helios SoC, and AFAIK they haven't released the sources, Right?

Yes but without sources we can build roms. The problem is that maybe there would be something that cant be fixed in the rom, or requires an extensive reverse engineering.
You can see the cm12.1 rom for mx4, it is almost perfect. And was built without sources

Then learn ! We all started from nothing !
However if there is no port yet is because the source code hasn't been released yet. That's pretty hard for a dev to port a rom from a flashable zip made for another device whereas building from sources is much easier.
So be patient and wait. It will not come before weeks, maybe months !
You know, Xiaomi hasn't released Miui7 Lollipop's source code neither, only kit kat, that's why there is not LP miui yet.
I'd also argue that MIUI is nothing special, and Cyanogenmod provides a cleaner, faster and more enjoyable experience, so there isn't much incentive for developers to work with it, especially since much of the source code isn't available for Lollipop. If you REALLY want a decent MIUI experience, get a Xiaomi, they're pretty cheap - you could sell your used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for about the same price as a new Redmi Note 3.

The Nexus 5 is THE dev's device. Xiaomi ported the rom for the Nexus 5 themselves.
And galaxy j5 has the same specs than the xiaomi redmi 2 so the port was easier. However if you check the thread many things are not working (like cellular data)... That's a lot of work for the dev.

Two members of MIUI team already confimed on the MIUI forum that it's gonna be released by the end of this month.

It's from the MIUI official forum and they have the Beta Team tag. And they said they got mail from it.

Future of OP3T

What is the future of OP3T concerning roms? I know One Plus will not provide support after the O update, so well have to get our taste from custom roms. Why are there so many resurrection ROMs? Does anyone still use all those features anyhow? I can't tell you the last time i heavily modified my rom. I typically stay on PA, FreedomOS, or stock rooted.
Does anyone know where I can find some AOSP kernels?

no one said O is end of the line for 3/3T, it's the end of beta, they cant keep 2 beta's
that's said, even if that's true, there will be plenty of O custom roms, and probably P when it's released...
AOSP kernel, hmm, ther was one i don't remember it's name i'm not sure if it's still maintained, look for it on the cross devices section, it was the kernel for the OSIP rom.

Personally I think it's crap that this phone won't get any software updates after Oreo. Phone should have shipped with 7.0 out the box. This will definitely be my last OnePlus

There will be no Android P without the source code which One Plus won't release because theyre stopping after Oreo. Oreo based Roms will be the final Android version.

I'm sure there will be custom roms after Oreo (not OOS based tho ofc), same as Oneplus 2 have nougat as custom roms.

I thought the source code was needed even for custom Roms? I stand to be corrected though.

Actually I don't know how that goes, since I know nothing about developing ROMs, but since there is new OS versions for devices which didn't get them officially, there must be some way. Some functions propably not gonna work similarly, depends on device tho (Samsung Note 4 example.. custom ROMs were missing all "S pen" -stuff and camera quality was horrible. All camera framework stuff were binded to Touchwiz itself), but atleast our Oneplus 3T is quite simple device and camera is so far working "good enough" even on custom ROMs.

Until devs have the will to work with it this device its gonna live period.

The source code used for custom roms is based on aosp(google)not on the one released by oneplus. Basically the one on pixel and nexus devices and mixed up with oneplus drivers( blobs actually)..
So no. Custom roms will continue till developers stop making builds.years after oneplus droping support
This phone is good for the next year at least. People will still have it since it's like the budget pixel

even OPO has 7.1.2 custom roms, why you need to worry ?

Not really. The code oneplus release, the blobs and the devices trees can help to improve custom ROMs, but custom ROMs won't disapear if we doesn't have the source.
Just look at the Xperia SP for example. Official android version, 4.3. Android version thanks to custom ROMs, Oreo.
The code the manufacturer release is highly important at launch, to have a base to work on to port a custom ROM. On android P developers will take the android O tree and start to update it to support the code changes of P, without the need of OP.

After having over 40 flagship phones and an XL since the Droid 1 it's worth it. I won't waste the time to go into all of the reasons though. I was being a little modest when I said 40

Its not. It can make devs life easier i guess. But i have a htc one s with android 7.1.2 ressurrcetion remix rom and everything is working fine.
And the last official update the htc one s got was jellybean.

Customs Roms?

When will we start seeing any custom Roms and kernels for mi max 3.
Once xiaomi releases the Kernel source for it, right now, the answer is not yet.

3 - 6 months...
Kernel source is the way to go but roms can be build with prebuild MIUI kernel too.
The main thing needed is developers...
To complement the answers there was an article a few months ago saying that xiaomi aims to shorten the time it takes to release the source code.
Not many seem very optimistic by these news. But I hope for the best.
