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.

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

I'm new to Xiaomi & MIUI, so apologies if this is a stupid question! I've installed the Xiaomi.eu ROM on my new Mi5s, and I'm pretty happy with it, but there are a few bits and pieces that I'd just prefer to be native.
Looking at the timelines from the Mi5, it seems like there was an unofficial CM version within about 2 months of release, an then an official one in September when the kernel source was released. I'm trying to work out how the unofficial one was built without the source, and how long that might take for the 5s (especially given that the hardware is fairly similar to the 5) - I assume it's anyone's guess as to when we'll get the kernel sources?
hopefully not to long. I would prefer a new decent rom on the Phone
Currently own the Mi Mix. Great phone but I'm not the biggest fan of MIUI. Would like to see LineageOS run on this phone. I was wondering if the development for Mi Mix is/will be on the to-do list? I understand the chances are very slim since this phone is exclusively on sale in China atm. But a man can dream, can't he ?

As stated, why not use the thread provided above...
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 Xiaomi Mi 8 SE keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
nothing good going yet since it has been 2 months and not released officially!

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.
Asus is sending rog 2 to rom and kernel developers.
pretty good news guys , im glad to know that there will be custom rom for rog 2 in the future
https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-sending-rog-phone-ii-custom-rom-kernel-developers/
See here for details..
Pretty excited to potentially get custom ROM development on the phone.
To late...
Really good news. Not to late. Device is still pretty new. I love it btw. how it is, but Lineage support would be great.
Mickey made omnirom for z6, this is good news. He has the rog2 already. Freak too, will have custom kernel
So 4 phones sent out, and only 1 dev released a kernel. Here's to hoping the other devs are working on something.
The LineageOS devs have been working on a device tree and the ROM for a bit, you can see the changes on github. I assume people are waiting for android 10 to be officially released so they can get the kernel source code needed to make the ROM, there is no point making lineage 16.0 (based on android 9) this late when android 10 is in beta phase. So at the moment development has stalled until ASUS releases android 10 and android 10 kernel source.
It's great to hear such news.
