General [CLOSED] EvolutionX for Marble in progress - Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)

We're fortunate that the Evolution X team has started working on the 3rd test build for Marble (Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo). Development just began yesterday. Thankfully, there already prebuilt kernels/modules so test ROMs boots successfully. So far, SMS, NFC, Cam and other basic functions are operational. A crowd funding activity started yesterday and for those who might be interested to support may do so as the target is about halfway met.
Learn more, become a tester, support the project and follow developments.

Hi to everyone! I'm Joey, Lead developer and Founder of the Evolution X ROM.
You may have seen my work on other devices, specifically work on Mi A1, K20 Pro and Mi 11 as those are devices I maintain. I've chosen to purchase a Poco F5 due to the specs-price ratio. I think the benefits I'll get with the device will greatly coincide with the new community I will be handling.
I'm excited to build for you guys soon and hopefully Xiaomi or a different dev completes the missing parts of our OSS kernel in order for us to be able to release these builds in an Official manner via XDA.
Kindly help contribute to the current crowdfund if you think it's worth supporting our project and to bring an official ROM straight to this device as early as now. Hoping that we can get the device before next week.

We will include additional stuff like those once we start work on OSS vendor. For now, we're using a prebuilt vendor and kernel.
Also regarding the crowdfund, we've reached $323 and around $146 remains! Help contribute if you guys can!

Not sure what you mean... It's pretty good support here.
Sell and get a OnePlus or something more mainstream if you don't like it.
Or the tools are available for you to build your own ROMs.
XDA is here for sharing work.
You also could have checked here before buying.
No one is entitled to third party software support and we are lucky to have so many devs working on the device.
As it gets cheaper more devs will buy as well. Mi 6 is good hardware but devs can't own every device at release price.

Not sure I changed a theme and was not able to change back to default. I posted on MIUI's forum and asked for help but only one reply which didn't helped. Other questions went unanswered too. But haven't tried on xda though. I didn't liked the fact that camera api2 is not enabled by xiaomi and you know what? I learned from MIUI forum that our notification LED is RGB but is limited to white color only by xiaomi.
Oneplus is not available in my country and even if Xiaomi gets any defect, no one is gonna repair because its fairly new here and almost everyone sees my phone doesn't know Xiaomi exists. Btw once I tried to build ROM when I had Mediatek phone and oh boi, it took forever for small modifications, learning will take long time and I don't have time for it, so no I will depend on others haha. And I hope as it gets older, more ROMs will be available, hope more like stock with less bugs, stock always have more customization from xposed.

Is there any developer?

So I wanted to know if is someone there that is working with our a70... I wold love to run AOSP in this device
There is no dev having this device yet. Only one that made twrp for us.

Phone uses a SOC that just does not get much development in general. It's not the A70's fault per se. See Google Pixel 3a, or Xiaomi A3. Barely any development. Most roms are just half-baked, have "sleep death" and whatnot bugs.
That said, check the SD 855 for example. Same story. OnePlus 7 Pro just got official LineageOS, but if you check Xiaomi Mi 9 or Mi 9T Pro - both are dead.
The SD845 had more development going on for sure. Oh well.

Development is already underway for a70. We already have a functional twrp and the dev's are completing the source compilation to start custom rom building. Just need to fix the fp part. Will be done in a timely manner because we have some great and dedicated developers onboard.

Question Is there any hope for this device to get custom roms?

I have bought this phone and I'm curious if there is any custom roms other than MIUI?
Diar990 said:

There are no other custom ROMs yet, but there are several factors that make me believe that there will soon be good support for this device.
First off, xiaomi most of the time doesn't wait long these days before revealing their kernel source.
Furthermore this device is a typical mid-ranger that in a way scratches the upper range, so it is predestined to make people curious about its potential and is very affordable at the same time.
We don't have cristal balls for these questions, but for me the odds are good - otherwise I wouldn't have bought this phone myself ; )
I think this device has better chance to get custom ROMs than 5G version, because it has same chipset like Redmi Note 10 Pro or Poco X3 NFC. These devices already have custom ROMs, so it is possible to make custom ROM with the help of their device trees. I will maybe buy this phone and attempt to do it once I have more free time, however I would be glad if more experienced developer did it
I'm really hoping for PixelPlusUI or Pixel Experience on this. would be perfect.
I am not at all confident for this device, about custom roms.
RN 10 Pro came out not even a month earlier, and you can already find twrp plus many roms in development.
For Mi 11 Lite nothing yet...and I don't think it's much harder to mod.
It is a device born unlucky in my opinion, they have produced few and sells little, and will have little or zero community.
I'll wait another month, and if nothing comes out I'll sell it.
It's a pity, because i really love form factor and weight, and is fast and reliable. But for me modding is essential, i dont like miui.

Question Experience with MIUI Mix?

Hi all,
Can somebody tell something about his/her experience with MIUI Mix ROM? Especially in comparison with the xiaomi.eu ROM? Both information about the stable as the weekly ROM are welcome.
Kind regards,
Thomas
I just dirty flashed MMX v21.6.23 directly over miui.eu ROM v21.6.23 without wiping anything (except Dalvik) and it works perfectly.
It looks extremely similar for me, just maybe more smoothly (Placebo effect?)
Let me check power consumption tonight and report.

Hi. although they are Devices different and Processors different.
I hope this personall opinion can help you understand some points to be considered, especially the use of battery by rom mix vs. rom me
SOT should be about the same, however standby is much better.
Definitely a smoother experience versus Xiaomi.EU and lots of useless tracking bloat removed.
Giving credit to where it's due, still Xaiomi.EU's work with Team MMX optimizations.
Thank you all so far for the great comments!
As promised, I measured the standby power consumption during last night (see attached), and indeed it was much better (mostly 0.12%/h) than the previous night with miui.eu (see second attachment)
I hope it helps.
I wouldn't recommand this rom as it seems closed source and no info whatsoever on developers but a telegram channel. Could be spyware/backdoor in it. Or maybe I'm wrong. But I won't trust it.

OK but MIUI itself, while based on opensource Android but adding a lot of proprietary components, isn't really open source !
So obviously, MMX cannot be more open source than MIUI (Xiaomi) itself

Been using MiuiMix on my Mi Pad 4 for 3 years, if they wanted to steal credentials they would have a long time ago.
My Mi Pad 4 was rooted and I purchased lots of apps from the play store with it, never got billed for something I did not purchase.

MMX got removed from so many Telegram devices channels for a reason. Do some research guys, it's not a safe rom.

I cannot find a lot about it, and MIUI Mix in general (which indeed maybe a red flag on itself). Could you maybe point us to your source?
MiuiMix posted their roms on XDA just like many other new custom developers in late 2017 to early 2018, this is the time I bought my Mi Pad 4 (unlocked from seller).
I've look deep into the files and services that runs on the rom from fresh install, seems to be no signs of spyware, but of course I'm no security expert (only took two courses in college).
My reasoning for them being kicked out of so many Telegram channels and disappearing from XDA would be their roms are not based on their own work and there's probably lots of backlash from the developers of Xiaomi.EU and the general custom rom community.
I'll say this though, I totally agree Xiaomi.EU is the safest bet to whomever wanting to run a custom rom based on MIUI given they debloat those Chinese tracker apps still left on Xiaomi.EU rom.
This is obviously one of the the reasons why like MiuiMix (it's very clean, Chinese tracker apps removed), but then again I might be dealing with a super sophisticated spyware app baked into the rom.

Question [CLOSED] Custom ROM fundraising

Hello all!
Is anyone able to arrange a fundraiser?
Are there any devs interested in making ROMs for this phone?
Personally, I'd really like to use Vanilla ArrowOS on this device.
But I've heard that ussually LineageOS does the first build, and other teams use that as a spring board.
Not sure if that's accurate, but I'd be willing to donate 50USD or so to any team willing to take this on.
Maybe if there's enough of us we can make this worthwhile?
Does anyone have any idea how to get this going?
Yes me too id go with $50. The problem is 13Pro is too expensive.
I think @Cozzmy13 or @NeoArian is the best
I also jumped at that offer, I can donate 25USD or a little more in an ascendant way, of course, seeing evidence of progress

A heap of the 12 series seems to have been China only, so I specifically held out for a 13 hoping there would be plenty of custom ROMs soon enough. I didn't really realise the price would be as big of a barrier as it appears to be. Hence, the fund raising suggestion.

It's usually the flagships from Samsung and Pixel and the beloved Poco series. As of now, the Pixel 7 Pro, S23 Ultra, Poco F1 and F4 are some of the most popular players in the development community.
