Redmi 1S Kernel source to be released in early Q1 2015 [ Update - Released ]

Update 2 - The source has now been released on Github !! Here it is -
https://github.com/MiCode/H1S_kernel
Enjoy and Happy New Year
Update 1 - Donovan Sung, kernel development head of Xiaomi has himself confirmed on MIUI forum that he's going to release the sources on 31st December 2014.. So guys rejoice, bugless Lollipop isn't far away !!
Guys.. Today I have got good news for you all... A friend of mine emailed Xiaomi Kernel Development head asking when they are going to release the source code for the public !! This was the reply he got from him ( See attached image )

that is a good news! its better late than never. but I guess for a device like this, pushing kernel source while releasing the product is very very imp. It limits its true power. due to this restriction cm12 development is getting seriously delayed.
and the weird thing is, my old device huawei y300 is getting cm12 nightly as early as 1st week of dec. The build is ready and almost everything is working. only some minor bugs, which will be polished. and here devs are working hard to get the primary source ready. its a real pity!

It is really a very good news.It may also happens that our redmi will enter into the android one device list that earlier told by hugo bara.:highfive:

Can you post more details? Maybe show the full email sent by your friend?

That's the complete mail. 1st one for Hugo Barra. And 2nd one was the forwarded mail.

See the next post after yours.. I mean the one above this !! He posted full details.....

Glad to see at least it will be released [emoji3]
i spammed a lot in miui forum about this...finally found it win
Dreaming to get a Custom kernel

Early Q1 could be two months from now (at least), I wouldn't call it a win, it's really really late. Also, this is a private email not an official announcement, I'm sorry but I don't really trust them. They could be answering that in the email so they don't get more requests to release kernel sources in a while. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with Xiaomi, each day they remind me a little bit more to Huawei...

Bro.. Its better late than never !! And they will surely release it.. Same was the case with Mi2, they released the kernel source of this device after 9-10 months of release but they did release it !! Redmi 1S was released in May, so you can expect the kernel source to released by February !!

Coming from a mi3 user...ppl in our forum are really pissed with unavailability of the sources till date...we have received many such egs from mr Barra(he'll release in a week or so)but nothing has happened....hope it's for real this time

Wow bro
Hats off
Can't wait xP

Nevermind. If anywhere else you can found something related to that is best to post there and NOT to make new thread. That is for a better management of topics. This is XDA forum and things must remain clear and simple.

the thing is they waited for redmi note release as these devices are almost same on spec sheet so he used those above words. As of now i think there wont be any delay in the release as there is no upcoming device with the same spec (because they didnt even announce or release any even in china) so we can trust him. if else he postpones it lol our cm12 will get postponed so hope for best

Actually his statements are baseless and just fools talk because No Kernel Source can give you specs of device if deconfig is removed hence he can release the sources anytime he is just pushing it to keep Xiaomi has closed source to the extend he can :silly::cyclops:

Apparently you should have seen the thread in MIUI forum by Donovan where he mentioned the crap that Redmi 1s kernel has some code which could jeopardise the future products from Xiaomi and sources would be released by Dec end. He got bashed so badly that his thread had to be deleted to maintain decorum in the forum. I hope he got a taste of what it is like fooling the customers which such BS.
Its pretty obvious that they don't want end users to have the freedom to tweak their devices so that they get the best.
The point mentioned by Jackeagle was also quoted many times that with little modification, device config could be removed, so as he rightly pointed out 'Keeping it as Closed as possible'.
Edit: link is working again.

They think We are fools.
Xiaomi Making fools to thier customers and nothing.

Just remembering good old Redmi 1s development #throwback lucky to be part of Armani forum , thank you all devs

Nothing yet, checked their press release pages and deb site. Have also reached out to them on Twitter. I would of thought they'll be vaguely quick as developed a Nexus but you never know. I think most manufacturers will announce release schedules next week with the release off Marshmallow into the wild.

Not very polite, just asking if anyone had heard and a good discussing to be had. Google shows nothing fur it anyway.

L was rushed out by Google then fast tracked by all manufacturers easy too quickly. I'm willing to bet everyone takes their sweet time to make sure all the obvious bugs are quashed before releasing M for their devices

Here here, it took a while for most devices to get a nice stable build. Though L was a massive change up from KK, M is more of an incremental release. I'm hoping LG will be releasing soon as poer prev comments of having a good amount of time with the code.

Wow! I didn't know that site existed! I'm so going to use it! haha I don't know yet for what, but for something! xD Thanks!
And to the OP. It'll come when it comes... This isn't like the Game of Thrones ... The update REALLY IS Coming. XD

OnePlus 5's Oxygen OS 4.5.0

When Will We Get The New oxygen Os 4.5.0 for our OnePlus 3?? It Rockzz Will We Get That In Future???

hahaha being a freeloader myself I came here today explicitly to get an answer to this question. But I am patient and wouldn't ask for an ETA though. It WILL come eventually I know.

Lol, we can be lucky if we still get any updates because the focus is now on the OP5 i bet. I think Android O is the same lie like the OP2 get Nougat back in the days...
But thank god the rom community for OP3 is very big, so we can still get updates through roms.

Well, their software support did improve a lot since OP2 days, so I'd say there is a hope for OOS 4.5 and even 5.0 (Android O).
But I don't expect it to come instantly.
That said, the devices (3/3T and 5) are still quite similar and sources are up, so we'll probably get at least unofficial ports soon.

Give it some time

reading mode is the only real addition - everything else is already available on the official or Open Beta releases

you can get it now on the latest open beta...

reading mode too?

We already have all features of the oneplus 5 in open beta so i dont think we need 4.5.0 and beta is pretty stable so far. Only thing i am hoping for them to give update to Android O but even if they dont we have a pretty great developer community and will surely get android O from custom roms

It should be similar to the monochromacy mode in simulate color space under Hardware accelerated rendering in Developer settings.

I think updates for the OP3/T may depend on if the 5 does well enough, if it does not do as well then they will prob slow the updates for 3/T like Apple does so u have to get the new version, but if it does as good as the 3 did they will prob keep it updated until next release, which I will prob wait for if they stop jacking up the price almost 100.00 every time

That would be really cool! Even if it's only a soak test.

Yawn! Color me totally underwhelmed.

People have to keep in mind that devs need the official oreo to fix bugs and other stuff in oreo roms for our Potter. Some might not care and I get that, but we still need the stock oreo rom.

Is it 64 or 32 bits?

Kernel version though..

What's up with the kernel version? Sure, it's not the newest update at 3.18.71, though apparently this is to ensure Qualcomm and other driver providers can keep supporting the chips. I'm hoping that Treble can make this simpler for those devices with native Treble support...
Rebasing to a new kernel version during an upgrade is tricky. QCOM and other chipset vendors tend to stick with a particular kernel version for the lifetime of a chipset family, and just backport the desirable features and fixes. If we move the kernel "ahead" of our chipset vendor then they have a much harder time supporting us. Since we try to get the upgrades out as quickly as possible, we stay aligned with the chipset vendor's kernel as much a possible.
I suspect that Google will continue to pressure chipset vendors to keep their kernels up-to-date, so maybe we will see some changes in 2018. We will also ask Google to consider a kernel update as a "security update" rather than an a full-fledged upgrade. This removes a number of barriers to getting new kernels into the handsets of consumers as quickly as possible.
