Re-posting since my previous post was nuked (rightfully so):
Only time will tell.
For now there's quite an amount of Custom ROMs available in Telegram (you'll have to search for those).

There is some unfortunate news for owners of some of Xiaomi’s most popular and best-selling smartphones. Devices such as the Xiaomi Mi 9 and Redmi Note 8 Pro have appeared on a shortlist of products that are reaching their EOL.

Hi guys,
I'm thinking about buying this phone, but I need to know whether redmi 1s supports OpenGL ES 3.0?
Also I am considering Redmi 2 (and Redmi note 4G), but unfortunately Xiaomi has disclosed the source code and support by community is also small.

Any one knows when will the custom roms arrive for this device i know itll take time but i need to prepare myself of how long will i need to use the miui
Maybe 4 or 5 months, since xiaomi is always late to release kernel source it will take some time to get stable ROM
dual boot patcher is already available for the Note 5, i hope they can get it for the Pro soon so i can have Miui/LineageOS together
what the adv of having a dual boot ?
obviously you have the choice of either the oem or custom rom to boot.
Damn! The phone isn't even on sale yet. DAMN!
2-3 months

First of all, people and devs should buy the device! And it is possible to get ROMs before the Kernel Source release, as devs create custom kernel. So, it may take 2-3 months
patience is a virtue
Hey Shahan. Will you be here as a developer for Redmi Note 5 pro? Then it is like heaven. Currently I own Mi4 with your Nitrogen OS.

Though my question is somewhat unusual but any developers interested in building custom roms for Zenfone Max M1 pro. Was about to buy Redmi note 5 pro then Asus released this phone. Now I am confused. Also which phone will have a better future on XDA?

In terms of development on xda, RN5P will definitely have better support. Evident from previous xiaomi devices.
I think Redmi Note 5 Pro Will Develop More Custom Rom Than Zenphone M1 Pro

RN5 by a mile
The 5,000 mah battery and Vainilla Android is tempting but:
-No EIS
-No IR Blaster
-No Gorilla Glass or Oleophobic coating on the screen
-Inferior Selfie cam
-Low Development
So the Redmi Note 5 / 5 Pro is the clear winner

I'm sorry to be so attentive. But I want to know what is the forum in xda for the smartphone Redmi Note 5 global version with Snapdragon 636 and band 20. Why does not anyone talk about it? I'm lost?

Since there's no release date for that version it's a gamble. No one knows when or if it's to be released. I'm just as eager as the rest of you guys. Hey I even bought 10 cases for a phone yet to be released

I think Xiaomi is worse when it's android update.I previously had Redmi 3s prime which was launched with android m and still it is android m.
You can expect android o for Rn5pro.Dont think about P and Q.
But as this device will have project treble support we only can expect higher android versions.
The only reason I chose Xiaomi again because it offer good specs in bugdet and the existence of XDA.

This makes me wonder, Will the rn5 global comes with Indian 5 pro specs or China 5 specs? Coz both global and indian version shares same rom according to md5 hash on mi website.

I'm pretty sure it'll come with chinese specs
You can have a look at the official China version specs here : http://en.miui.com/thread-2130525-1-1.html
And here is the Global version specs :
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Glo...artphone-Snapdragon-636-Octa/32854817812.html
For example, you may notice that the global version will have B20 frequency for 4G, unlike the Chinese version, but otherwise they are the same specs as the Chinese version

No sir. This is Redmi Note 5; Vince if so-called. The image is of Redmi Note 5 Pro and for representational purpose. It is even mentioned down below. Read the name and the questions in latter part of the page.
yes, i made my redmi note 5 pro into fastboot mode. Then i can see my phone was listed in xiaomi assistant software by the name of "whyred", i suppose "whyred" is its code name.

Yes, you must buy that smartphone. It is the one that all people in Europe will buy. The Redmi Note 5 pro is the model suitable exclusively for India. The Redmi Note 5 model from China does not have b20 and is not multilanguage. The link that you have put is the model that we have already bought the most.

the question is in the title ^^, for precision, i would say that, since i have a phone, i use custom roms, the last i had was the samsung galaxy s5, the thing is that, custom roms have recurrent bugs on this device, we had to wait a long time to get a "stable" oreo rom on it, for example, camera and fingerprint were not working for a moment..
so i want to know if roms are stable and smooth on this phone, thanks

If you want custom roms etc just buy a OnePlus or Xiaomi device they're very popular among developers
oneplus are too expansive for me, but yea i heard that roms are perfect on this, and wich one xiaomi should i go with ? i know that xiomis are chinese phones, but do they work well on french bandwidths ?
i see that there's a **** ton of roms on the redmi note 4 "mido", the price is really low

Reason I don't recommend you to jump on the Pixel is not much development is going on, The Device will be EOL on P so Major updates will stop some of the newer budget devices will still have that 2 years OS support and much more custom roms that you're after I think it'll be a better buy, Pixel XL isn't a bad buy by any means just I think better value for your situation is to be had on other devices
Which bands do you need? If you buy from official Xiaomi French store should have your bands but check before buying anything
https://buy.mi.com/fr/buy/product/redmi-note-5
https://www.mi.com/fr/mi-a2/
Mi A2 was just announced will come soon is running Android One, updates should be inline with Pixel Line will have a ton of developement just like the Mi A1 you can see here
Redmi Note 5 also great device a lot of development can see here

If it has to be a Marlin make sure you buy a non Verizon model as they block bootloader unlock can be a pita to get it unlocked
