fingers crossed

The kernel source has been available for some time now. If nobody actually makes proper device/vendor/kernel trees for custom roms, I will just try to make do with the stock kernel source, add things like KCAL to it and upstream it after we get Android Pie GSIs working with it.
Until then, I recommend patience.

No devs for the mighty Mi6?

Seems ta be very low interest in the Mi6 from developers. Will it change or will the Mi6 be forgotten soon?
probably because lack of kernel source + online only phone sold in asian markets

There is already LineageOS... and just because there are no other roms, it does not mean there arent devs for this phone!
It does not make any sence to work on LineageOS based roms if LineageOS is not stable because the other roms will have even more issues!
The lack of kernel sources is a bit pita, but we have to wait for xiaomi here...

You're a power user. Can the Huawei Mediapad M3 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Huawei Mediapad M3. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.

There is no major development. Maybe the SoC is to blame or maybe the fact that most people do not feel the need to root it because it behaves very, very well with the stock ROM.
I came here to see what kind of developer support there is for the M3. I was thinking about getting an M5 to replace my Nexus 7 2013. The M5 is supposed to get announced at CES next week.
I don't see any custom ROMs for the M3 which leaves me doubtful that the M5 will be any better.
I prefer a near stock experience with root, TWRP and Nova launcher.

Yeah just got the M3 a week ago, very nice tablet, twrp and rooted however I am disappointed with the development, I too prefer AOSP
Gotta live with what we already have. Just bootloader, root and I do agree with nova launcher (got mine with discount a couple of weeks ago).
And it seems this tablet won't see a ROM any sooner.

Guys, we not the only " handicap" ones, go have a look at the Huawei 8 series that are running the 950 cpu, their roms aren't that great nothing that you can't do yourself.. most are just running TWRP, Viper for android and Xpose with a theme. Our main issue is the non standard cpu as already mentioned..
Thanks to surdu_petru's incredible work, i guess it's getting better!! (Shame on Huawei for their terrible support for this tablet!)

You're a power user. Can the Honor 8 Lite keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Honor 8 Lite. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.

Sadly, no. Honor 8 lite can't keep up with power users.
its a kirin chip so development is slightly slow.
developing and evolving slowly. Only 2 ROM at the moment but will evolve for sure with OpenKirin team.
not looking great right now.
If you're looking for a development-friendly phone, Honor is not the solution for you. We do have a program where we give out bootloader unlock codes to a select number of people every once in a while, but there is no official support for unlocking your bootloader. This results is a very small development community.

Mi A3's life is on hold until Android 10! Xiaomi should have just launched the device with Android 10, atleast it would have attracted the customers who ran away bcos 720p.
Funny enough, i am seeing some other companies launch midrangers with 720p!

Thats true even with respect to Custom ROM support, as some devs maybe waiting for Android 10 to be rolled out and the sources be updated, but it's not the only factor in regards to custom ROMS. Mi A3 is one of the best all round devices and I am sure it would get solid development.

Fod has been fixed in pixel experience.
Beast rom got an update which probably kanged the fix too.
There are a few ROMs that are Android 10 available for this device just not yet posted here on XDA.
Some GSI treble ROMs also work but are a bit buggy. Especially with fod.
Nobody is waiting for Android 10 the ROMs are already being worked on it's just patience isn't really a strong point amongst people nowadays. Everyone just feels like they deserve everything now now now

Pls link me to other sites with development on this device, i will like to follow them and enlighten myself. Honestly Xda is trusted, that's why most people are hanging here waiting for devs. The little shortcomings of this device can only be addressed through custom roms and devs. Thnx for opening my eyes beyond.

I meant the development is likely to increase along side the release of android 10. I will update my post to make it clear and not aggressive. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Same answer when I contact with customer care.they said it's under development maybe it will release in the end of the month

Many users reported the same. We have to see how well they hold up to what they said.

Yeah, A3 needs Android 10 treatment urgently :laugh::laugh:
And yes, that HD+ screen thing is very annoying. I just hope it doesn't become yet another stupid trend with manufacturers
Is anyone facing compass sensor bug in September security patch.
Xiaomi announced its MIUI 11 rollout. Although it has nothing to do with Mi A3, Xiaomi Devs may prioritize the rollout of MIUI 11 rather than Android 10 for Mi A3. So we have to see how Xiaomi manages to rollout Android 10 to Mi A3 before end of October.

Not too much, if you calibrate at the first start. My problem is when you call or listen an audio on whatsapp, screen black and can't unlock without power button
I received an update with October security updates, Not Android 10 yet

Xiaomi did not release Android 10 yet still October Patch but this also might imply that Android 10 rollout maybe pushed to early November.
We got October patch this month. So Android 10 won't be available at the end of October
Might be pushed to November
I will add the sources, on why shortly.
Customer Care States No Information(Multiple executives said the same here is one of them):
Chat 1
Customer Care's Information is not solid enough
Look at this chat. He even asks me to ask the XDA dev . Also the fact that few Customer Care executives are saying they have no info means that initial October plan might just be an excuse.
Me: When will Mi A3 get Android 10?
CC:I would like to inform you that A3 is stock android base device, Google provide updates.
Me:So Xiaomi has no idea abt wht happens to their devices???
CC:A3 is fully stock android please stay connected with mi community.
Me:Mi Community , no one replies
Thats the reason I asking in support chat
CC:Yes I understand that so please contact XDA developer.
Me:XDA?
I am asking abt stock rom not custom
I am asking whenn will official stock android 10 rom be rolled out for mi a3
CC:Sir A3 is stock android we don't have any official update of android 10.
Me:No idea?
Me: Does Gooogle entirely handle android 10 rollout for android one devices?
Yes.
Me:Where can I get 'Official' Information abt Android 10?
CClease visit google community.
Me:But no info there as well
CC:Community link upload your android base concern or features there have many people to using stock android.​

General Source code for Mi Pad 5 released!

Good morning!
Seems like the source code of Pad 5 kernel is released, good news!
Lets see developers what gonna do.
GitHub - MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource at nabu-r-oss
Xiaomi Mobile Phone Kernel OpenSource. Contribute to MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
That are not news. The kernel sources have been released last year. Short after the Pads Release. So far there are no working custom roms or recoveries. It looks like that no experienced ROM Dev owns a Nabu.
Tests by unexperienced rom builders:
Broken TWRP: https://github.com/bm0x/twrp_device_xiaomi_nabu
Broken LOS Tree: https://github.com/faberto/android_device_xiaomi_nabu
Ohh... I didn't know, that's so sad...
Thanks for the information!
I bought this tablet because it's nice (value-for-money-wise), but I also hoped there would be some dev support to give it awesome roms. That's definitely the case for the Mi Pad 4. Any reason why this one is not that popular? Or is it still too soon?

Maybe because it has not been released in India yet.
im just wondering,
this pad is excellent.
what exactly do you expect to be added if port rom is developed?
Netflix HD is not working for me (widevine problems on a global stock firmware, I don't understand why), and after some usage, I prefer the stock android / pixel experience UI more than MIUI
