I hope I'm not being disrespectful to anyone but how come no Dev love here!
I mean this is a wonderful device, made for Global market and a marvel in build
quality and design, IMHO.
Actually they are not source available for the Note 2
So we can't put LineageOS on it. Another problem, the Mi Mix. Everyone prefer the Mix to the Mi Note 2. So, a lot of dev will go to the Mix.
If Xiaomi put the kernel source of the Mi Note 2, I will try to dev LineageOS (not sure).
Thank you for replying back.
I was afraid you'd say "mi mix"! Also your comments do give me a little hope but
I'm in a position of being able to sell my device for almost no lost and to be honest I'm leaning toward that decision !
I actually like the preinstalled ROM. It's not Android 7, but one of the best Android 7 ROM's I've seen.
I'm also disappointed with the lack of interest in this phone. I thought it was supposed to be a flagship.
Hello people.
I DO have a big question. I'd appreciate your help.
I'm planning to buy a MI 5s, but I don't know if there would be an excellent ROM like SLIM or PARANOID for it in Android 8. Currently, they support MI 5 (Gemini), but what about MI 5S (Capricorn) in Android 8????

The short answer is that ROM development for the MI 5s is lacking and there are not many choices, once xiaomi releases a 8.0 based ROM we will get the files we need for the camera and such and then Lineage will become available and maybe some others like RR, that said you can always build your own ROM pretty easily and use your favorite as a base even if its not official...

That's the direction i'm heading in I just have to find the time...
I see a lot of people asking for MIUI.. There are all these Redmi devices and other devices from Xiaomi with MIUI.. This phone (Mi A1) is a device with stock Android.. Why sould it be different from the other Android one devices???? Because you want MIUI?? There are people including myself who bought this device for the software. And not for MIUI.. When I had the LG Nexus 5 years before, I didnt remember anyone asking for a rom with LG UX skin.. Stop with this MIUI.. I get it.. Most people like it and it's okay.. My brother has the Mi 6 and he loves it.. I personally don't like it.. And I would never buy a Mi 6 or a Mi Mix or a Redmi Note device and ask all the time the developers to build a stock like Android rom because I don't like MIUI buti would buy a OnePlus or a Pixel or a Moto phone....
Okey so i have found on a few sites that Huawei P9 Lite will get Oreo so i assume it's a mistake and what they mean is Huawei P9 Lite 2017 edition. So my question is what is your opinion on this and do you think that we will get Oreo. It makes me angry that i payed around 350 euros when this phone came out and i will only get nougat while Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X wich is btw more cheaper, like half the price, already have stable custom Oreo rom and i found on some sites that Xiaomi actually plan on update-ing most od devices to Oreo so WTF HUAWEI WE WANT OREO!!!! Also there are not a lot of custom roms for our device that are usable and stable... Anyone knows why? Is this phone that big of a s**t that no one actually wants to do anything about it. Thank you for reading this now post some opinion or answer!
Tbh you are kinda overreacting. It takes a lot, and i say, A LOT of optimizations for the rom to be stable.
Take a look at how many people didn't even got nougat.
In my opinion, we have a chance to get oreo, because i think this phone supports Project Treble.
Is anyone trying to port the miui rom for mi a1? I know kernel sources are not there but there is a kernel by which we can port the rom atleast... And ya pls dont give suggestions like to buy mi 5x and other things..please we dont want that.. and also dont tell here that miui sucks or its laggy or anything.. everyone has their own workspace....
I dont like miui, but i tried to port, bootloop animation, when i have free time i continue to boot it up
But idk maybe there exist many bugs
Just buy a god damn 5x
Guys its a huge req to everyone to not give suggestions like to buy mi 5x

You know you can buy MI 5X.
Everyone will be giving you advise to buy mi 5x coz both r identical twins in terms of hardware. So it may be very ridiculous to buy a mi A1 and install miui on it . When you have a thing in market then why experiment with other to make like it.

I guess it has been said an uncountable number of times: A1 and Mi 5x ARE NOT IDENTICAL in terms of hardware.

They are not identical but on the outside they are very similar and they have roughly the same price.
So, return your A1 and get a 5x, bruh

If band 20 is really important for someone and wants miui than he will buy phone like Redmi Note 4 which has similar specs and its cheaper than A1.
@prashantxpe Just out of curiousity: Are you going to open a new thread every two months about wether or not someone has ported MIUI for you? Two months ago you also mentioned that you can help porting. How far is your progress here? Do you have a github tree others can contribute to?
Nope...next one will probably be about volte or "where is Oreo, shame on you xiaomi".
