Does anybody know yet if there are any non open sourced pieces of hardware on the Axon 7 that would lose functionality with an AOSP rom? On my LG G3 for example, running an AOSP rom means that the laser auto focus on the camera, and the IR blaster don't work because the drivers for those things are not present in AOSP roms. Would there be any hardware on the Axon 7 that would not have drivers in AOSP roms? I really like the look of this phone, but from what I hear the software it comes with is terrible, I'm just wondering what I would lose if I got it and flashed it with AOSP.
Dude, nobody knows yet. Come back in a month and ask again.
I'd say actually get the phone and see what you think about it. Mine arrives hopefully next week and am super excited. Most of the "software" can be fixed with nova launcher and we hopefully will have twrp soon.

Nobody knows yet, but I'd suspect the audio may not be all open source, especially the Dolby Atmos codec. Is there an open source drier for our DAC?

Atmos won't be, but it already seems to be able to ripped out and flashed on (someone on this forum already did it).
Looking at AKM's website, there is no mention of any drivers anywhere. Some of it might depend on how much is built into the chip itself versus what needs to be programmed in/downloaded at runtime.
I'm more concerned for ****ty camers with custom roms than anything else.
But just wait and see. Roms take time.
Hey, I want to buy this phone, however I'm concerned that apparently some newer Redmi Note 3 Pros come with the Goodix fingerprint sensor that is incompatible with many ROMs.
So if anyone has recently bought a RN3P and got an FPC sensor, where did you buy from?
Where are you from I mean country
I bought a Kenzo from here 3 weeks ago..
http://stores.ebay.com.au/Compraelmundo-Inc?_dmd=2&_nkw=redmi+note+3+pro
(note - they no longer appear to offer the 3/32Gb version that I bought)
Shipping was surprisingly quick, around 10 days to Australia.
and I can see no Goodix folder in Root/data
Fingerprint works perfectly to unlock in Exodus ROM.
I didn't really use MIUI to find out if the FP reader could be used for photos.
Flashed to China Developer ROM from the hacked bootloader Vendor ROM, then officially unlocked Bootloader and rooted, then flashed TWRP and then Exodus.

Thanks, I took a chance and ordered from geekbuying. I hope it'll be alright, if not I can probably find some reason to return/replace it.
Bought one like 2 weeks ago from Gearbest. It has the FPC sensor. They were even out of stock for like 2 weeks when I placed my order.
Im having 2nd thoughts also on buying this device because of the different FP hardware and some roms doesn't support Goodix FP (yet).

Thanks, that's good news - I should probably be fine then. In my experience the Chinese stores all seem to use the same suppliers.. Back when I was trying to find a Yellow MI4C, which I still think looks really awesome, all the Chinese sites that claimed to have them went out of stock almost simultaneously.
bought from ibuygou 2 weeks ago....got fpc sensor
Bought from gearbest 3 weeks ago and got fpc

Bought one from Mi India store about 2 weeks back. Got FPC fingerprint sensor. Everything except encryption and flip cover action is working in AOSP based ROMs without issues.
Got mine from aliexpress however that was almost 4 months ago but the fingerprint works everywhere

How exactly did you flashed exodus? I have a Kenzo with FPC fingerprint sensor but i can't make it work in Exodus Rom. The only thing i think i did different from you is this:
- from TWRP, did a full wipe.
-installed CM13 Firmware
-installed Exodus
-installed Radon Kernel
Can you help me with this? Thanks in advance.
I got mine from Flipkart - grey ,32Gb model last week and its having FPC sensor (I think if you can take a pic using fingerprint sensor then you have FPC and so I can).

I flashed mine to China Developer ROM with MiFlash tool,
rooted then installed TWRP
put the Exodus Zip and GApps zip on a microSD
Full wipe in TWRP (cache, Dalvik cache, system, data, storage)
Then installed Exodus (did not install CM13)
and GApps
reboot
got mine from aliexpress - 'xiaomi authorized store' in august, manufactured 2016.7 has fpc sensor confirmed using custom kernels and fp to use camera, also has a good lcd (white not yellow), and all the newest sensors it also doesn't suffer from the gyroscope bug that plagued older models - it has the new sensortek proximity / light sensor vs the liteon sensor that can be affected (in low light the gyroscope would stop working in these models, or be very sluggish)-
I think xiaomi did a revision update behind the scenes or different factory's use different parts or the china / india phones use different parts-
so basicly you have to look out for several things
FPC vs GOODIX (FP Sensor)
Sensortek vs Liteon (proximity sensor / Light sensor)
White LCD vs Yellow LCD (some displays have a yellow white instead of white white)
Front camera can also have different models - not sure how many models there are
now these could be the differences from the 2 / 16 gb vs 3 / 32 gb too
BTW, How to check which FP scanner I got? I just received the phone couple of hrs ago from Snapdeal.

best way to check is go to open the camera app. press finger on fp sensor if it takes a picture then you have the FPC if not then goodix,

Mine takes pics with FP sensor. So, I got FPC, right? So, I'm good to go.
Edit: To OP: I bought the Dark Grey 32GB version from Snapdeal. I hope it helps!
is it possible to tell the make of FP reader? I can fire up a shell over ADB to my stock phone (had it for a day) if needed. phone was bought from Banggood just 9 days ago.

Look at the output of:
cat /sys/class/input/input*/
You should this command over adb.
Greetings at all X6 (6.1 Plus) users.
I've recently purchased an X6 from/off eBay (for a steal, or so it would seem). Yet to arrive.
From my reading, it seems:
*stay on Android 8 is recommended
*the charging port will possibly crap out (I could not open box & re-sell it?)
*stay on Oreo, unlock, twrp, root & custom rom
*as above, keep in box & re-sell (I was looking at the Poco F1... but, it was a couple hundred dollars more)
Not new to modding, but haven't modded for a couple of years o_0
S5 running Android 6.1 custom rom has been my personal daily driver for last wee while.
Work phone is an iPhone XR... but, it's locked up tighter than a barrel. I can use it as a personal phone (if needed).
Re-sell vs keep the X6...??
Decisions, decisions

It sounds like you prefer older versions of Android?
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Android 9 (Pie) on this phone as long as you factory reset. Pie is working perfectly for me. Don't listen to all those people telling you not to update.
Lol!!
S5 on Bliss 6.5 works well enough for mind...
Never saw need to go past it ;-P
Re, X6... what about the Charging Port issue?
Seems like that's a real concern/issue?
If you can't charge your phone, it might as well be a brick =O
I probably should have shelled out for the Poco F1...
...but I convinced myself I don't need a phone that powerful o_0

Charging port issue is a two sided story. On some device-
1. Either ther port wears out and you keep replacing, It wears out again... It's a cycle.
2. If the above does not happen, Then the port will stay tight but a little loose than other USB type-c devices.
My device is of the second type.
On Android version, I never used Oreo on this phone. I got it on Jan 22 2019 and Pie had already been released by the time so i updated the phone immediately during setup.
Pie has been good so far, Some of the bugs have been fixed and, This June is supposed to bring system UI enhancements, No issues on software side.
Unlocking bootloader costs money though
I'm using the 6gigs and on pie. I did not face any bugs nor have the charging port issue
My X6 has arrived... Setting up w/ apps as per S5.
My charging port is super loose OTB [emoji51]
Fingers X [emoji120] I don't get the charging issue.
One is very minimalistic and I likey [emoji2956]
Also like how newly installed app permissions are all disabled by default [emoji851]
Missing customisation options of course. The battery percentage is so 2.3 it ain't funny [emoji107]
Waiting on some decent cases to arrive as the supplied one is [emoji90]
[emoji848] X6 footprint is a lot less than I imagined
Lack of NFC will be a PITA [emoji2959] as I would like to use GPay or similar on a stock phone.
I may yet unlock BL & root, custom rom. Have my trusty old S5 as backup.

Bootloader unlocking may come in the future as said by Nokia. Fingers crossed though!
Hi everyone this would be my first thread here at xda
I am considering getting the redmi K20 once it launches in India my biggest concern right now is the rom development for this phone can we expect anything are any developers interested in it or is it pretty much dead and it's better to go for something else
My main priority for the new phone is developer support
Thank you
Pro version will have better community development.
I would love to but looks like the pro wont come into my budget
So there will be complete lack of support or just that it will be slow?
I'd say very very slow. Mi 9T is an international version and there's almost nothing available for this device.
But, there's one good news, some (if not most) mods available for the k20 Pro/9T Pro will be compatible with the non pro version.
Actually, unless they are specific for the SD855, should work on our device.

I do.
It's working almost perfectly, the issues I found are:
• Camera pops up every reboot
• Screen needs to be awake to use the fingerprint
• Charging led not working (this one should be very easy to fix)
Developers are working on the other fixes, I bet they will be working perfectly very soon.
i hope it will be some custom, real rom, for this device, no need a lot, just some major ( lineage, havoc, maybe pixel experience)

Can you check if Android Auto is working? I am looking to buy this phone, but am afraid that some stupid hardware issue is causing Android Auto to fail. If it is just software, I would be fine with installing a rom.

will you be launching this rom for this device bro because for me one lineage os rom is enough
Since the stock rom does not.
Next LineageOS 17.1 build will have it. Stay tuned.
I read somewhere that is a hardware related limitation of our device. Does not work in Amoled.

This is not the case. Xiaomi is unwilling to add dc dimming to the redmi k20 (mi 9t). Xiaomi has added dc dimming to many amoled screen devices previously released.
I hope xiaomi or a custom rom will add dc dimming. I now use Oled saver app.

I did try that app but it still flickers and gives me eye strain. Try record in slow motion with another phone and you can still see it.
I sold my device as I just can't wait any longer. I'm happy with my decision tho. Hope you guys get a solution soon too.

Unfortunately, Pig dropped it. It was causing fingerprint sensor issues.
