[Closed] is cm going to support MI5s? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Currently using Redmi note 3, with cm14 flashed.
If cm is also available on 5s, I think it will be an even better choice than google pixel.(considering the price)

it is snapdragon device, so i dont see why should not be development for it. also is chinese device. have to wait because device is quite new, only 2 months..

You can if you'd like, request cm in this thread:
https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/129973-request-cm-for-xiaomi-mi-5s/

official CM?
no chance yet. maybe some dev buy that phone and start development unofficially..
like Edgarf did with mi5

Looks like he is just flashing bgcngm his build, and reporting...
His normal remarks when he is building are different, so i dont think he is building for Mi 5 (s) :crying::crying::crying::crying:

When some developer buy this phone and xiaomi release source code, development can begun. Have to wait. This phone is only 2 months old.

There will be no CM for this device if there are no sources released by Xiaomi it's as simple as that. So probably instead of bashing people from CM for support that they cannot offer first step would be to pressure Xiaomi on their own forums so at least they are aware that people want it. I'm not saying this will change anything because as a Chinese company they probably care very little about free and open source software licences bounded with the source code they use and profit from but at least if every one interested makes a post there this issue will be highlighted. There is already a request to release the sources here http://en.miui.com/thread-407935-1-1.html

i heard xiaomi doesn't include miui's new feature on mi5s/mi5s plus's developer rom because stability is first
i think xiaomi making mi5s/mi5s plus's kernel source completely and they will release it if it completed
(sorry for poor english)

it's not a question of "if", it's a question on "when" they release sources. Have a little faith and patience =)

From what i've seen, it's completely the oposite... chinese companies care very little about patents and are very open to trading/sharing source codes... have a look at this documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJ5cZnoodY

http://www.miui.com/thread-6638275-1-1.html
Chinese Miui forum has CM 13 running on Mi 5s
Edit: And source will apparently be released at then end of this month

Really good news!

Not sure what you mean... It's pretty good support here.
Sell and get a OnePlus or something more mainstream if you don't like it.
Or the tools are available for you to build your own ROMs.
XDA is here for sharing work.
You also could have checked here before buying.
No one is entitled to third party software support and we are lucky to have so many devs working on the device.
As it gets cheaper more devs will buy as well. Mi 6 is good hardware but devs can't own every device at release price.

Not sure I changed a theme and was not able to change back to default. I posted on MIUI's forum and asked for help but only one reply which didn't helped. Other questions went unanswered too. But haven't tried on xda though. I didn't liked the fact that camera api2 is not enabled by xiaomi and you know what? I learned from MIUI forum that our notification LED is RGB but is limited to white color only by xiaomi.
Oneplus is not available in my country and even if Xiaomi gets any defect, no one is gonna repair because its fairly new here and almost everyone sees my phone doesn't know Xiaomi exists. Btw once I tried to build ROM when I had Mediatek phone and oh boi, it took forever for small modifications, learning will take long time and I don't have time for it, so no I will depend on others haha. And I hope as it gets older, more ROMs will be available, hope more like stock with less bugs, stock always have more customization from xposed.

is anyone can create custom rom

I want to buy a fone. Any suggestions how much time to recieve custom roms....
dont ask for ETA, I also ordered one Honor 7x too
When a phone is brand new with absolutely NO Roms out yet I'm pretty sure the whole "Don't ask for ETAs" rule doesn't count. Relax. Please be honest with yourself.
This device will only do good (For some people) if it gains dev support. Kirin is closed source from what I understand so development sucks when compared to Honor/Huawei devices with SD chips so inquiring minds will want to know.
I'm ready for an upgrade from my Honor 5X myself but can't pull trigger due to lack of support for 6X or 7X. Honor is good about updates but I need more control over my device (Root, hotspot, and Roms) past the 2 year update standard. I would go to xaiomi redmi unlocked but their US device lacks 1 of the LTE bands I need on AT&T.
Plus I actually really love my Honor 5x device and respect the company for their attempts to make affordable higher end device and come to XDA with so much support on launch of company. I won't for get that but I still need a device soon.

I mean, there's OpenKirin, not sure about this being closed source with kernel sources already released. It depends on which skilled dev feels like picking up this device.

I can confirm that this device is going to be officially supported by OpenKirin as soon as we can get a stable rom running on it.

Phone uses a SOC that just does not get much development in general. It's not the A70's fault per se. See Google Pixel 3a, or Xiaomi A3. Barely any development. Most roms are just half-baked, have "sleep death" and whatnot bugs.
That said, check the SD 855 for example. Same story. OnePlus 7 Pro just got official LineageOS, but if you check Xiaomi Mi 9 or Mi 9T Pro - both are dead.
The SD845 had more development going on for sure. Oh well.

Development is already underway for a70. We already have a functional twrp and the dev's are completing the source compilation to start custom rom building. Just need to fix the fp part. Will be done in a timely manner because we have some great and dedicated developers onboard.

Question [CLOSED] Custom ROM fundraising

Hello all!
Is anyone able to arrange a fundraiser?
Are there any devs interested in making ROMs for this phone?
Personally, I'd really like to use Vanilla ArrowOS on this device.
But I've heard that ussually LineageOS does the first build, and other teams use that as a spring board.
Not sure if that's accurate, but I'd be willing to donate 50USD or so to any team willing to take this on.
Maybe if there's enough of us we can make this worthwhile?
Does anyone have any idea how to get this going?
Yes me too id go with $50. The problem is 13Pro is too expensive.
I think @Cozzmy13 or @NeoArian is the best
I also jumped at that offer, I can donate 25USD or a little more in an ascendant way, of course, seeing evidence of progress

Didn't realise that the Xiaomi are dragging their feet releasing kernal code.
They did release the Xiaomi 13 kernal code, hopefully the 13 pro is relased (properly) soon too.

A heap of the 12 series seems to have been China only, so I specifically held out for a 13 hoping there would be plenty of custom ROMs soon enough. I didn't really realise the price would be as big of a barrier as it appears to be. Hence, the fund raising suggestion.

Let's hope this thread can push some devs over the fence when they consider getting a 13 pro.

It's usually the flagships from Samsung and Pixel and the beloved Poco series. As of now, the Pixel 7 Pro, S23 Ultra, Poco F1 and F4 are some of the most popular players in the development community.

Hello @AlekSeaLion,
although we allow bounty/fundraisers/donation threads under certain circumstances, we are generally discouraged. The developer must have good reputation and the thread must not started from 3rd party without him being aware of. Regardless a custom ROM is no innovative development and doesn't qualify for. Please get in contact on PM with moderators for approval first.
Furthermore we remind you, upfront donations are not permitted as per our forum rules.

General [CLOSED] EvolutionX for Marble in progress

We're fortunate that the Evolution X team has started working on the 3rd test build for Marble (Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo). Development just began yesterday. Thankfully, there already prebuilt kernels/modules so test ROMs boots successfully. So far, SMS, NFC, Cam and other basic functions are operational. A crowd funding activity started yesterday and for those who might be interested to support may do so as the target is about halfway met.
Learn more, become a tester, support the project and follow developments.
GitHub: https://github.com/Evolution-X-Devices/device_xiaomi_marble/commits/tiramisu
Download Build 2: https://pixeldrain.com/u/LY6uaR35
Hi to everyone! I'm Joey, Lead developer and Founder of the Evolution X ROM.
You may have seen my work on other devices, specifically work on Mi A1, K20 Pro and Mi 11 as those are devices I maintain. I've chosen to purchase a Poco F5 due to the specs-price ratio. I think the benefits I'll get with the device will greatly coincide with the new community I will be handling.
I'm excited to build for you guys soon and hopefully Xiaomi or a different dev completes the missing parts of our OSS kernel in order for us to be able to release these builds in an Official manner via XDA.
Kindly help contribute to the current crowdfund if you think it's worth supporting our project and to bring an official ROM straight to this device as early as now. Hoping that we can get the device before next week.

We will include additional stuff like those once we start work on OSS vendor. For now, we're using a prebuilt vendor and kernel.
Also regarding the crowdfund, we've reached $323 and around $146 remains! Help contribute if you guys can!
