Why no progress in custom development for this device? - Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Questions & Answers

I know the Pro version and Pro Max version share the similar specs except physically the main camera sensor. I have a doubt if anything developed for Pro version will also work for Pro Max version like recovery, ROMs, etc. I see no lead for custom development here...
Please share your opinions and views.
Thanks

There is Xiaomi.eu for redmi note 9 pro max but there aren’t any custom things because there is no TWRP release or at least I think that’s the reason or maybe it is the fact that it is quite new

I know it's new... Let's hope it picks up the momentum quickly for custom development without which this awesome device is rather useless....

These factors affects development of this device.
1. Lockdown
2. Flash Sale of Pro Max
Many people are still waiting for RN9P & RN9PM

Yes, they can be the reasons for the lack of development, but I see other devices like poco x2 and RN9P have been picking up pace quite fast even though they are also on flash sale, especially x2.
Let's see... :fingers-crossed:

Pro Max is Indian Version and didn't got any developers still for specific development but it has Unified ROM Builds which is also used in other Redmi Note 9 Pro versions called "miatoll". It is stable enough for Pro Max go and try it.

I am learning git now and I am going to buy Redmi Note 9 Pro Max in three months. Soon I will make a device specific trees for our device and start development of custom ROMs. But I also need testers to test my custom ROMs that I will be releasing in near future.

Nice to know...

Actually There are a few roms (I'm using pixel experience). Just search for roms using the codename (Excalibur).
Extra info: I am using unofficial twrp since I was getting error7 when I was flashing using pitch black recovery

Unofficial twrp:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-1-root-redmi-note-9-pro-max/
Rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-9-pro/development/rom-pixel-experience-t4158325
So if you flash that twrp then everytime you connect your phone to pc, it will show "note 9 s". You can follow the step on how to flash, but when I flashed no_verity I got stuck in bootloop. So you can ignore that step
Rom is pixel experience, didn't see any bug yet. Just the front camera didn't feel optimised. Like when I taking selfie using apps like instagram or snapchat, it would be dark and blurry.

Will Android Oreo (Go Edition) make it to Redmi 1s ?

So today android oreo (go edition) is announced and will start to roll out from 6th dec. 2017.
I would like to ask devs if they are interested to bring it up for armani because most of the roms these days are heavy and it would be really awesome to have it on our device since it is aimed for devices with 512mb to 1gb ram.
Thanks in advanced.
Has any device got Android Go till yet?
BTW it'll totally resurrect our device if that happens. I'm also excited about it.
Edit: Just saw news about Android Go. I hope we also get the taste of it.

I hope there will be a lineage GO version for the redmi 1S.
The present ROM's are too big. The device becomes slakky.
With de GO version maybe the redmi 1S gets a second life.

Try lineage microg ROM or other roms with nanomod go without gapps try fdroid apps as alternatives, it's highly unlikely we get fully working oreo ROM ( camera issue mainly )

It's a Mediatek phone, so don't expect any custom ROMs.
Take a look back at the Xiaomi phones released with Mediatek chips and see how little support from developers it got

Exactly. The only fully working custom is Xiaomi.eu which is based on stock firmware with a few tweaks.
Redmi Note 4 MTK was released with Android 6 (Marshmallow) and never received a working Android 7 (Nougat).
Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon was also released with Android 6 and received Android 7 (Nougat), Android 8 (Oreo), Android 9 (Pie) and there is already an Android Q beta version released.
The choice is simply: If you want a custom ROM don't buy Mediatek

Let's wait, we never know! The (partial) source code release is a step forward. I think that the "missing" code parts have with the LCD to do and not with the chip anyway.

There are many differences :
- Xiaomi never released Kernel sources on Note 4 (MTK), you can find Note 2 and 3's on their GitHub (very tardily released), but not Note 4's...they already release Note 8 Pro's
- Xiaomi didn't sell Note 4 in western countries...now they officially sell many devices in Europe.
- most western users bought SD625 version instead...MTK community wasn't that big
Sources are there, now Mediatek need a "best seller"...unless that, custom rom won't exist
In past, a team succeed in doing rom for several Mediatek's devices (M.A.D. Team)

Lineage os 17.1 for oneplus 7t ????

Guys oneplus 7t is great device to own and given oneplus's support for devlopers is also great but still why the devlopment is slow compared to oneplus 7 ,7pro & 7t pro.
I don't think the LOS developers will build / support for any device without a working TWRP, which includes 7T / Pro.
So it's up to people on their hobby with the device to build an unofficial LineageOS.
If I'm not mistaken, Paranoid Android will come soon and support 7T / Pro, not sure when though.
Sent from my OnePlus7TPro using XDA Labs
There's no TWRP working with all of the features for out of the box Android 10 devices, which is what the 7T came with.

Because TWRP is not fully functional now.
But building ROM for devices without TWRP is not any harder, so I don't know.
There are most likely other ROMs in telegram, treskmod for example. And most kernels are unified now, if they work for 7 Pro they work for 7T/Pro.

I tried to use 7TPro LOS builds (and other custom roms include AOSP roms) at my 7T several times . Simply it is working but with some problems . For example camera is not working . FOD working but Fingerprint image position is wrong due to resolution differences between the models I guess . I am not developer but I am thinking that these (minor) problems can fix easily if someone who knows how to fix them .
Try only to flash rom for "hotdogb" instead of others. Tryout the Xtended XR rom stock android with tons of customisation and rock stable Minor bugs exists in launcher. That can be overcomed by any thirdparty launcher

Custom Recovery

I don't know if theres any News for the mi10t Lite
But is there a TWRP/OrangeFox in the work?
The 10T Lite Forum seems so empty
I love this phone, the only downside seems like no one is developing for it. I think this is due to being only released in Europe and not in india, where most of the devs are from.
I wold love to install customs roms on my device.

Question Pen on Custom ROMs?

Do you guys think it will be possible to support the pen on custom ROMs? How does that work normally, is it some drivers that need to be installed, or would functionality be at a very low level such that with custom ROMs it wouldn't be possible or...?
By custom ROMs I mean Pixel Experience etc, not the Xiaomi EU MIUI crap.
There isnt any custom ROM for this device
The smart pen nor keyboard cover work with Treble GSI ROMs. The smart pen can be paired to a tablet running GSI, but no response from the tablet's display when using the pen. I'm guessing there is something in the MIUI ROMs for this tablet that allow allow the tablet and pen to work together (may be in all MIUI ROMS).
Hi, it's possible
I was wondering the same thing as well...

No, the pen doesn't work on PE11 GSI or any other GSIs I tried. It's a real shame. Still for me PE11 is much better than MIUI.
