Im so sorry Sir, I'll make sure your cash is refunded at the earliest.... Oh wait, no one is paid to do this.
You sound too arrogant mate. OOS and MIUI are device specific ROMs. Its not as simple as compiling an open source rom with our devices drivers. These 2 roms have obfuscated code thats quite difficult to decipher. Even if you do manage to get it up and running, there's gonna be a **** ton of bugs which is why devs dont prefer to do it. This is why GSI's exist. GSI's (in theory) work with every device as long as the vendor is compatible. If you want it that badly run a GSI and live with the bugs.
[/QUOTE Why is is taking so long for these Roms? [/QUOTE ]
Why dont you try making them?? Its ok to suggest for something but this aint the way to do it. What they're doing already isnt easy, and you aint helping them either.

Best answer! Appreciate you.

Offical TWRP

Hello all,
Can any dev actually make official TWRP for Redmi 3s. I know cofface and the other guy made TWRPs but they aren't official.
So if anyone who knows Chinese can either contact those devs and ask for them to develop twrp officially.
Or if any one can actually develop an official version for our device.
Kind regards all
Official means if TWRP devs work on it
I don't think they've that much time to work on such devices
Instead they make it for premium phone.
And it's not hard to port TWRP if you've the original one
Please read the official twrp site, they only need sources, once the twrp is built for a device.
Redmi 3, redmi 1s, redmi note 2 all have official twrp
Oh come on people, this is the first step to official custom ROMs
can anyone tell me what is stopping them to make official TWRP for so long? every single device has it even redmi 1s redmi 3 and redmi note
Well I'm guessing that the devs are contemt with the cofface and flou twrps, but it would still be nice if we got the attention of somebody, who knows how to build a recovery and make it official.
I would do it, but I would need to learn from scratch and it would probably take to long
Devs pls help
I never really understood why people are unsatisfied with unofficial builds, as long as they work without any issues
What's bugging you?

there is the reason they are unofficial,it all depends on one person ro maintain regular updates,no regular fixes less room to work with and btw not a single build so far is bugless or stable on our device so maybe that is why. No one fixed dark video in camera recording so far for almost 3 months with kernel source out.
So no one with a bit of knowledge is willing to to do this. I'll try to make a build, but cannot guarantee I'll successed

What is the difference between official and unofficial as they are working the same.

Official is when TWRP acknowledged it as trusty
i.e.: an Official build is updated every week, month, and is always upgraded to the next level of android, or not. (Redmi 3 still has 5.1 TWRP official, but no 6.0)
Unofficial is when it wasn't acknowledged, so a developer/user built it from scratch, and it gets only updated once, or twice, It depends on the user/developer itself.
Once I get my 3S finally (possibly after 2 weeks), I'll try to make a bugless TWRP
The TWRP we are using is basically a port (I couldn't find anywhere else the sources for Redmi 3S TWRP)
Given by how Kenzo is similar to Land, I have made a semi-working TWRP tree
https://github.com/Kizoky/android_device_xiaomi_land
It needs a pre-built kernel, which is obviously based on Stock or CM (Stock would be the best)
https://github.com/Kizoky/android_device_xiaomi_land/blob/android-6.0/BoardConfig.mk
It is lined out here.
Also, If some of you found some bugs within this tree just let me know
I won't make it as a seperate thread unless It is fully functional
Yey, thank you @Kizoky

Even though I have a strong PC, I don't have a large unneeded space for building Android (613GB is not enough when it is 90% full)

[TEST][ROM]Test builds ported from 4X

Here I'll post test ROM builds ported from Redmi Note 4X (SD625) for you to try them.
Use with caution. Bugs are expected.
If the build for the particular ROM is good enough I'll open a separated thread for it and will keep it updated.

Maybe you can use the original Kernel source to make it full compatible with our device!

I don't have any knowledge of porting or building roms, but lack of development for our device is really disappointing. Thank God you jumped in. I was also thinking that redmi note 4 has almost identical hardware that of p2. Good luck, we are here to back you up (most probably as testers.) But I can promise that I shall put more effort in learning porting and building.
Btw, a debloated MIUI will definitely go very well with our p2. Also, kindly try to look into other non cm/aosp based roms like LEWA OS, FIUI, EMUI, EUI, COLOR OS, FUNTOUCH OS etc.
Answering your questions... I won't put any additional work on VoLTE as it's not available in my country, but still some ROMs may support it out of the box. Building a ROM better than stock is impossible, the stock Nougat ROM is near perfect imo. MIUI why not, I'm not a fan of it, but I know many others like it.

For me the only major issue with cutom roms is the not working audio slider during conversations (volume is fixed to a mid level) and the fact that during conversation with loudspeaker the other person can hear him/herself, making the conversation impossible. There are some related messages in other threads, look for my posts.
If you manage to fix this this device will almost be perfect, but I don't use volte and I seldom use wi-fi tethering.

Well, by "better" I mean in terms of battery life since I've read lots people saying that custom roms don't perform that good with battery. I would say that a custom rom is better than stock even if it could reach that battery life.
Maybe I should've explained myself better

How developer friendly in OP?

I am new to the OnePlus community. How developer friendly are their phones? I was planning to get a Pixel as my next phone, but the spec and price for th Op5 look tempting.
Can we expect TWRP support and custom ROMs on the OnePlus 5?
Considering the amount of ROMs and various other development we've been getting with the OnePlus 3/3T, I can think we can expect something similar. OnePlus is an amazing company in that sense - especially since unlocking your bootloader doesn't void your warranty. (At least with the OnePlus 3/3T).
All required sources will be released by OP shortly. It will be simple to port the trees to LineageOS, so we can build custom roms for the OP5. I will start building RR as soon as the LineageOS sources are ready
Well with op3 it took a while to get working fp sensor on aosp roms, and they still have to use camera blobs (for the people out of the loop, that means slower camera.
Of course we can expect that - every OP phone until now got HUGE support by xda-devs
But i think this time i will ony flash TWRP and use Stock OxygenOS with Magisk

You mean, as soon as we have a working TWRP build... Same here btw. But I will try to be more active here as I was in the Oneplus Two forums. Just ordered a Oneplus 5 myself .
I have had the op3t , op3. OP has been sluggish to say the least with dropping kernel sources.. if you'd like some entertainment, take a look for @fransisco Franco's lashing towards Carl Pei and OnePlus. In order for a company to be considered "developer friendly," they need to share the sources in a timely matter.. they have improved as of late.
With all that being said, there is great beta testing and support in the XDA threads from @FuNkwizard.
I'm looking forward to this op5 beast!

They really should release the camera sources so custom ROMs can utilise them. This is a big annoyance for me.
Device Trees and Kernel Sources been uploaded yesterday.

Do we have any visibility of which Developers/ROM teams are planning on supporting the OnePlus 5?
I know there will be great support for this device, especially with the kernel sources and device tree already out but curious as to whether people like Sultan are making the move up to 5 or staying put on the 3/3T?

I think OP wanted to ask why it's not possible to just clone the source code from a newer oxygen version (from oxygen open source) and adjust it for oneplus2 (like dev's do it with new devices and Lineage/AOSP/Other roms).
I guess it would be possible (as devs took the oxygenOSS device, kernel source and adjusted it for android 7.1.1 AOSP, so it should be possible to do it the other way too?) but its an incredible amount of work to even get it to compile..
Edit: Btw, is my hypothesis right? xD

I think the main problem would be device drivers like HAL3 for the camera. Yes, we already have it on N, but it isn't as good as it would be like OEM

I think camera is the smallest problem (my pictures are as good on HAL1 as on HAL3). But if someone could port this, it would be insane (just because OOS N for Op2)

I think custom roms had the networkdrop fix before official oos?
As all those users who bought an op2, with all those problems and bad support (3/3t/5 became more supp from op..) it would be just fair if op opensources all they have. But thats a dream i know xD.

Never compare Roms or ask for ETAs. Devs do put in a lot of hardwork.
However corvus for the Xiaomi phones are actually a beast by unlocking the max potential. However, to what degree they're good enough for the longevity of the device is a question.
However, you can try a lot of other roms here. I guess, if not gaming specific, you could unlock a lot of potential by using them with a modified kernel?

Hello Deepankar!
Thanks for the reply!
I respect each and everyone dev, and I'll take my word "best" back and replace it with "better" ?
Nevermind, currently I'm rocking the OnePlus 7 Open Beta 16 port on my 6T, I just want a custom kernel
Can you suggest any?
I tried flashing the Radioactive Kernel , it said Unsupported device, so do I have to flash a kernel for Op7 now?

Well before flashing any kernel, you should always consult the dev of the ROM whether or not it supports any kernel altogether.
At times, to avoid any hassle, OS performance or any other brick related issues, devs generally do not support custom kernels and their bug reports.
It's all a gamble while flashing kernels on ported roms!
