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

Yes. I will be porting MIUI to our phones soon. I have previously ported it to an older LG phone. Only complication i see right now is only the MIUI 8 source is release(Marshmallow) so we may have to wait til nougat source for it is released.

Is it a rather easy port (for someone who knows what they're doing) ? Or will several things be broken and require some work?

Its not that easy. Involves decompiling frameworks and editing them on a base level. That's why miui 8 might not work.

Amd by the time its all fixed, MIUI 9 would be released, and you'll have to start over, correct? So probably better off waiting till 9 drops?

What you use as a base for the rom ?
Try to look for mm base from a device similar to the V20 and cook it with miui files .
Thats how it works last time i was doing it (and that was a waaay back

LMAO you scare me. about 30 min ago i was sitting on the can and the thought of building a CM13 rom from source using the v20 device tree then using that as a base popped into my head. theres just too much difference between MM and N to make a working port like this using N as a base.
Forget about using another device stock base or build cm13 base , we will lose second screen option ( my bad )
I cant see miui 8 work with nougat base many errors will show up and if it work im almost sure will not be as a daily use phone , so we might have no choice only to wait for miui 9 ( if its coming) .
Im starting to hate it that i still dont have root for my phone ??

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not even Athene Oreo roms are out of beta state, what other than a barely bootable alpha of Pie would you expect?
I don't think we'll be receiving pie right now as devs are either busy with treble or making Oreo better

Blame lenovo for the missing Oreo blob's cause they never released official android Oreo version for this device.
The developers here make an outstanding job to get Oreo running WITHOUT the essential drivers.
So now you can answer your questions yourself
I wonder if they will ever release oreo for this device. I lost all the hopes. They even have g5 lineup to update.

Yes ....and for g5 series I don't think so they will get pie...and only one major android update will be given by them From g5 series I think so. And I don't think so we will get Oreo .....not even soak test until now....its been one year and above . so better we guys should try to make a stable custom ROM than depending and waiting for update.

Android 10 should work with some optimization- porting the kernel to a relatively new version would likely be the hardest part.

How complicated is it to slim down the builds as much as possible?
I don't see needing all the extra TouchWiz crap that this device barely supports and had survived using Link2SD for storage. Something stable supporting at least basic apps is all I need, and most of those (Gmail, Chrome, etc) are now available from play store.

Hi, my advice is starting by taking sources from other variants (you can find them in GitHub S3NEO organization) and editing sources by starting from that base. For the kernel, it shouldn't be difficult to make a defconfig by always looking in matisse and millet ones. I advice you to start from Android 9 (lineage-16.0 branches) since they are the most stable. If you are really interested to work, you can write me in Telegram (same username as xda profile) and I can write you something more about what you should do.
Android 8, 9 or 10 will be nice, but right now I will be happy with Android 5. Are there any ROMs for degas higher than 4.4.4?
Are there any true Android 5 or Android 7 ROMs for this device?
