I know the kernel sources have not been released. And bootloader not been unlocked but still I see no developer interested in development of anything. Also no users are interested in it, why so? Will it be same story for the future?:crying:

Bro Iqoo has not reveled any kernel source & device bootloader unlock method so it's not possible to develop custom roms for Iqoo 3 and if you r using mobile devices only for development then go with brands like oneplus, Mi, Redmi, Pixel, Poco etc...

Due to the MediaTek processor, that's closed source, developers can't really develop for this device without breaking the law. MediaTek have always ensured that their source code isn't released making it difficult for a developer to actually make a custom rom. It's just unfortunately not going to happen for this device.
The Sony XA2 has a Snapdragon 630 processor so it's likely it will receive some more development than XA1. If you want to root you Sony XA1 device you can use on of links below.
XA1 Plus: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa1/development/xperia-xa1-plus-stock-kernel-advanced-t3729856
XA1 & Ultra: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa1-ultra/development/g3221-built-sources-t3622886
Best of luck!
There is no breaking the law or anything. And Sony has uploaded kernel sources long back.
Here is the one for .162 FW
https://developer.sonymobile.com/do...rchives/open-source-archive-for-40-0-a-6-162/
The stock ROM is pretty awesome and there is little reason to unlock BL and make/install custom ROM.

Possible. yes.
But there is a chance of a brick.
Different firmwares may have different partition setups.
And if you brick the one with IMEI or Bootloader ,the phone is a brick.
The only way to confirm is a developer having a rooted UAE phone and a rooted Indian phone and mapping the partition tables.
or perhaps , peek into ftfs and then predict the partition setup. :victory:

is there anyone who can guide me...??
i don't want to buy a new device,:laugh:
The main issue i found is a lack of device tree from Sony, one would need to be built to even consider doing custom roms, LineageOS etc etc, i recently got this phone and i am rather disapointed with the lack of roms for it, ROM's could be ported to the phone no doubt, i know how to build roms and port, but doing a device tree is beyond me
As the kernel sources are released for rn8 pro, is there anyone who is working on twrp for it???

I think there will not be any development so soon since the kernel resources were not fully released. Atm, I will wait for unlocking bootloader and global rom.

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

But take a look at redmi note 4 mtk and this phone is so popular it will surely get good development but not sure about the heat though

Redmi Note 4 MTK has absolutely no support and never really received a working custom ROM.

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)

Mediatek still isn't popular with developers and I wouldn't expect custom ROM. Snapdragon is always the safer bet

Your definition of unbelieveable is unbelievable
Does anyone know if any dev is working on a custom rom for this phone?
We iqoo 3 users should put pressure on them to release sources for devs.
I think bootloader unlocking is a more pressing matter.
this seller send a device already rooted.... so is it possible to unlock BL ?

how do we do that
I am looking to buy a new phone. My options right now are Redmi Note 10 pro and Moto G60
I want a stock android phone but am also looking at installing custom ROMs after the warranty date. Redmi Note 10 pro has extensive ROM support. So, once the kernel source code for this phone is released how good do you think the ROM development for tis will be?
I don't know the technical terms
I am new to this stuff
A dev said
Moto devices under sm6150, already have great rom development
Moto g40 and g60 also come under the same
So, 50%of the rom work is already done
Developers only need to tweak some settings here and there and release the rom
But as of now, HANOIP is facing Bootloader unlock issue, Moto said they are gonna fix it soon via an update
So, we can easily expect development but a little later, cause moto community is very small
Btw LIBER has already received A11 official P.E
I asked one of the developers. They said it might be slow coz this phone already runs on stock android
Yeah, it runs a stable A11 out of the box
So we don't need A11 custom rom
And It would receive A12 as well
So, we are saved for 2 years
Even if the development is slow
We can adjust as we have options ,unlike other meme devices
Hi. What you think can we have some custom rom in the future?
The recovery tools for OnePlus have not been publicly available since the OnePlus 9 series, so development is going to be limited. If you search the forum, there are a few people working on a custom ROM but it's unknown what level of success will be had.
So far, the current options include a GSI which is generic, and doesn't include many device specific drivers, so not all features will work. The other option is rooting and using a Magisk ROM which can make OxygenOS look more like a Pixel ROM and boost customization. Both of these options require an unlocked bootloader.

Yes it will happen, I hope in a few weeks. We're working on it. We did the LineageOS device trees, and kernel is compiling but it's still missing a few modules that make it non-bootable. For my part, I'm very determined, and will make it happen at all costs.
I'm still using my OnePlus 8 Pro daily despite having received my OnePlus 11 Pro. I absolutely LOVE the 11 hardware-wise (the fact it's a Marble Odyssey I imported from India to France helps) but I can't withstand Oppo's OxygenOS.
I'd really like more devs to join to make it happen.
Regarding MSMTools, I haven't tried to hack it, but as an experienced network hacker, I should have a look to it as I've recently learnt it's using auth now.
