MIU12 for Capricorn (Mi5S) - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hello to everyone,
Maybe too soon to discuss this but, there may be some kind of port from miui12 to mi5 / mi5s in near future? Anyone know anything about it?
I think this hardware can support easier, it remains to know if whether at the SW level it is possible or not!?
Many thanks.

Mi5 will get unofficial Miui12 rom from a small group of devs this week. Once they had rom for mi5s as well but they dropped support a while ago. Rom thread here is closed because they didn't mention kernel source as I saw when I checked last time but it's not the reason for dropping support. Rom name is miuitr, they have a website now just Google it but no capricorn support as I mentioned, only gemini. This phone has so much potential with the hardware but unfortunately there are no devs supporting it, at least I wish there would be an updated gsi mod so we could get miui12 though gsi but gsi mod also not getting any update for 2 years. It's time for upgrade like they want(force) us to.

eny update?

MIUI 9 Beta testers recruitment

I just randomly opened the en.miui.com and I saw that our Armani is also eligible for the MIUI 9 update. Guys, take a look and apply maybe?
Deadline for application time is 1st, August 2017 (Beijing Standard Time)
MIUI 5, MIUI 6, MIUI 7, MIUI 8 and now MIUI 9. It has been a long journey. Really excited!! Looking forward for it.

I was so pumped when I read it. I can't believe Xiaomi will indeed update their old devices. My hopes are high for them. But I doubt it might take a long, but that's fine. ?
Do I need to be good at debugging to be able to have a sense in using beta?
Also, does that mean that the camera blobs for our device will be updated to fit Nougat? And does that mean a better camera experience on other Nougat ROMs?
OR will it be another new UI with outdated system?

I still doubt that Xiaomi will be updating the android version too. Still hoping for the best.
Good at debugging? I don't think that is compulsory but surely it'll help the developers if you are.

I just hope that the Android version would be updated too. But as far as I can see, it wouldn't be. Just like the release of MIUI 8. It was based on Marshmallow for new devices but the older ones were stuck. Nougat runs fine even though with a hiccup, but hey at least we know it's working and it's possible to have one MIUI ROM based on Nougat.

Yeah! let's hope for the best. I won't think it'd take that much time. Armani recieved MIUI8 update earlier than Redmi 2.
It'll will be on android kitkat only for redmi 1s, just updated ui and fancy stuff. So just don't hope that it'll come with MM for redmi 1s. :laugh:

Yeah. After a few days, my hype disappeared. Somewhat disappointed on what will happen. I don't care about fancy UI and colorful stuff. I want a bit of nudge on the Android version. I'll be fine if they notch it up to 5.1.1 or 6.0.1. Thanks to the devs here in XDA, I got a taste on Nougat even though the phone tries hard to catch up.
If there is no xda, our device Armani would have never get past android version 4.4. (Well most of the devices)
im sure that in miui 9 also the android version will stay at 4.4.
One year ago I have dumped my redmi 1s and shifted to RN3 ,but happy to seee miui 9 for our little Beast...
Miss this forum and device. But I keep checking a month how development is gng on...
Its a wasted effort, the company has even dropped MIUI 8 support for Redmi 1S. The only version available seems to be MIUI 8.2.1.0 while a lot of devices got 8.5.xx. Redmi 1S has reached EOL.

You're right. I can't see any info about MIUI 9 update for Redmi 1S even though they promised to do so.
RIP
MiUi9 stable version is now available for China ROM and it gets regular updates
System is still KK 4.4 but the MiUi version is quite fresh and fluid
Thnx
any chanche to have global stable?

Project Treble and Development...

I was about to get Mi A1 when I found out about Honor 7X... I always wanted a budget device with Project Treble and was really disappointed to find Mi A1 (which was My only hope in 2017) doesn't have Treble support even after Oreo update... I read that with Oreo, Honor 7X will have Project Treble support and Im super Excited about it... I have a few doubts... Even though it has been answer, I just want to be sure...
1. Will there be Treble for sure in Oreo (since its a Budget Phone and not a flagship like Mate 9 or 8 Pro)???
2. Is it for sure that it has a separate Vendor Partition which is necessary for Project Treble (There are methods to verify it and has anyone done verification)???
3. Will there be Good Development here as I Love trying something new and flashing new ROMs all the time (Im using Redmi 3S and it has Wonderful Custom ROM development with very active Developers and Im concerned I read complaints that Honor 6X had very less development)???
4. With Project Treble out, will ROMs created for Snapdragon devices with Treble work fine with Kirin powered Honor 7X (Since I have read only about ROMs developed for Kirin devices only working in Treble enabled Honor Devices, sorry if Im wrong as I didn't do intensive research)???

Answers :
1. Yes there will be project treble when oreo is out
2. Yes one of the reason for treble to work is to have the seperate partition and it does thats the reason treble will work
3. No one can tell u this yet, but since Huawei is spreading its honor 7x all around the world more and team openkirin has the device so theres a better chance to have good development soon..
4. Why would there be a mix and match of roms? There are roms already available for our device but we are still skeptical if they would work so we havent tried them yet since it depends on the kirin processor number which matches with almost all the other devices having good development.. So they should work on 7x as well but again, we are not sure so nobody has tried it yet..
Good luck for you to chose your phone!
Treble should come (95% it will), because all Honor devices that got updated to Oreo (Beta or official) have Treble support
Since Huawei makes their own SoCs, porting Treble should be fairly easy. That, combined with the fact that they have ported Treble to even older phones (like the Mate 9), makes me fairly certain that yes, they WILL be porting Treble, and I would be genuinely surprised if they did not. Also, the fact that Treble separates the "low level" code, it shouldn't matter too much whether or not there are not many developers for this specific phone, as a OS developer (Like Lineage OS, Paranoid Android, and the like), can make a single flashable system.img for any Treble device! Thus, if somebody makes a ROM for the Pixel 2, it can run on any other Treble device, and this has even been proven with the Mate 9, running a clean generic AOSP ROM. Personally, I think it would be interesting to see Android GO ported to these midrange devices to see how fast they can be (and running, potentially, other non Android operating systems like Ubuntu, Sailfish OS, and others).

Question Future development for moto G60

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

General [CLOSED] Lineage OS for Oneplus 11 in works - the beginning

So, we have a telegram group for 11 and 11R users where we can discuss and share things related to the devices. As we all know OP shifted from oxygen os to colorOS database and now it is not the vanilla experience of OOS10 we had.
So few of us got together to do something regarding this, we contacted few well known developers who can manage to get a custom rom working for our devices. At last we found Bruno Martins (Maintainer of Lineage OS for OP9Pro), he is free and willing to work on the device but for this to work needs a device to test the builds. We have setup a crowd funding page for him to get the device, if any one would like to chip in please do. As less as 5 bucks is good. Every penny counts.
For people who are wondering how it would be possible without msm tools, Realme GT neo 2 also had no msm tool or even open kernel for the it but still we got a developer via crowd funding to build for it and now we have a working custom rom for the device.

Question Some Custom Rom

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.
