[Completed] [Q] Xiaomi mi 4i v/s Meizu M1 Note

Hi,
I'm looking to buy either Xiaomi mi 4i or Meizu M1 Note. Hardware-wise they both are great but I don't like the customized android os of both.
If I'm going to buy any of them I'll replace the os with cyanogenmod, but cm version is not available for both of them. So, I'll come to the main question.
Which would be easy, porting cm for Mi-4i or porting cm to Meizu M1 Note. (Considering CM port is available for few other Mi devices, I could fork their repo make CM port for Mi-4i)
NOTE: I've no background information about custom ROMs. So, also include a link to basics of development with CM.
But, the CM Wiki - How_To_Port_CyanogenMod_Android_To_Your_Own_Device portrays the process as if porting is simple. It just mentions a few commands as if I were administrating a linux distro (in which I'm good). Or does it require actual coding/scripting (which I'm still learning)?

I also had questions regarding porting. Would that thread cover that?

I've tried porting roms and it's definitely not as easy as the guides say it is. You can Google porting rom xda and find a lot of guides that can be useful.

[NEWS]Official Android Nougat update coming to Mi 4C

Heads up guys. Official MIUI based on Android 7 will be coming to our device. Just like the MI3(and MI4?), Xiaomi decided to skip an Android version which totally makes sense for obvious reasons.
From the official Xiaomi English forum:
A very good news for all Android version lovers and geeks ! The Product Manager of MIUI, Ranger has just*revealed on his weibosaying that Mi 4c to be upgraded to Android Nougat very soon ! Let me translate the whole Chinese sentence to all of you.
Mi 4c, Mi 4s, Mi Note Pro and Mi Max will be upgraded to Android N soon. Please download MIUI Forum app to obtain the latest information and updates.

Big question is when. Anyhow, not really excited as the MIUI skin makes Android OS barely noticeable.
EDIT: Forgot to add the link to the source: http://en.miui.com/thread-439882-1-1.html

as long as kernel driver is shared to dev, then good news. otherwise, i won't even touch MIUI again.

Thank you for the great news, but for what I know from Xiaomi, I'll belive when I see it.

I think miui is Rubbish,so i Like RR or CM or MK(AOSP,AOKP)at all

I'm looking forward to it. I have no problem with MIUI as it is fast and delivers the best camera results. I believe Nougat will have much better battery life than Lollipop. Also, Mi5 nougat users noted that mpdecision was enabled. Hope it's the same for 4c!

I'm pretty sure that won't happen because they released a version of the source and further updates are not required by the Linux licence from what I know.

Miui is on the don't touch list for me ... (Yuk!)
At least we'll have proper/updated vendor blobs & baseband to use on our custom roms.

Hmm... Just wait for it... Probably its coming when Android M announced..haha (random guess).
For now they (xiaomi) support latest OS on latest device too...
All we can do just hoping for old device to get Latest OS..

Hello !
Question is:
What will "Teh Scene" make out of it.
SMIUI= global Rom, and company. If the obtain it, I will give it a try.

Miui 9?

Good news

Great news! But I'm not sure if that will make a difference to MIUI 8. If it's MIUI 9 on Nougat then I'll probably try it.

I hope they will release kernel, so devs could make custom Nugat roms, that have good driver and kernel base.
Then I will order one more MI4C with 2GB of ram for 100$

Good news. But i hope improvement camera too. Because imx258 in mi4c is not powerfull. ?

i couldn't believe it actually, i had to double check when i saw it on gsmarena. that's excellent news ! i wouldn't expect this kind of support. i only hoped for some marshmallow back in the summer and that's all. however, i believe the update should at least improve the atrocious standby power draw and the camera's low light abilities, even the cheap p9 lite with a dated im214 does better in low light. i would also love some long exposure options.

Yesterday there was no weekly update for mi4c is published, so they are working on Android N for mi4c for sure...

Thanks. Yup, official word: "1) Update for Mi Note Pro, Mi 4c, Mi 4S suspended because we’re working on MIUI based on Android 7.0."

Thing is, MIUI is rubbish. UTTER rubbish especially after they introduced MI-Cloud (iCloud spoof) feature to their phones.... Im never going back because my phone appears to be MI-Cloud locked while I have no idea who and what has possibly the resetting feature for this. I cant even upgrade to MIUI 8 due to this crap lockout feature.

I had no problem with smiui and mi-globe too. I think mi-globe based on nougat will be awesome generally because lollipop is such a bad Android version compared to MM and N

MTK Nikel nougat development

seems there is work being done on android nougat in miui for the nikel if im not mistaking ( miui V8.5.2.0.MBFCNED )
link to official thread: http://en.miui.com/thread-645476-1-1.html

crap.. read this in changelog
"System
New - A smarter and more efficient CPU allocation strategy (04-05)
New - Android N update (06-01)"
thought it was on android N
since i dont use miui im not familiar with it from what i understood and probably im wrong.. i thought N updates werent just on coming miui 9 but also on 8.x builds..
too bad.. hope there is a good future for this great phone with updates

Fake changelog.
Read comments there
Someone updated but still MM

That update got suspended later. And its going to be suspended till August hopefully. They are planning a huge upgrade for a number of devices. Its gonna be at least MIUI 9 if not Nuget for RN4-MTK.

I'd say MIUI 9 but not nougat based (for our RN4 MTK at least). Remember Xiaomi have a tendency to update with their MIUI version/features but not update the base android version, especially likely to be the case for our MTK device since Mediatek are bad at releasing sources.

what about the threads that are floating around claiming to be the mtk x20 kernel sources for the rn4? havent really delved in, they arent released yet?
i got this phone mainly for its benchmark performance price ratio but also because i had the expectation it would have better development since its more popular than my last..
seems sad that the SD with its lesser tech has so much support and MTK seem unhelpful so were stuck on old firmwares...

I don't think we have the necessary files we need ie drivers specifically for the note 4 mtk hardware, hence the limited development. Snapdragon devices are always supported better by devs due to qualcom sharing all their sources.
It's still great phone for the money with lots of great features. If you're looking for rom development, snapdragon is the way to go though.

You probably want to start at the below thread about unlocking your boot loader and installing twrp etc. There's plenty of guides on XDA, and there's a noob Q&A thread in the Q&A section which is best to check out also and ask any questions rather than this development section.

[Dev] Sponsors & Bounties

Hi all,
We recently worked with TWRP on an official release for daisy. We're back with some more good news! We're sponsoring TWRP, OpenGapps, and PHH-Treble. While the results of our partnership with TWRP are obvious at this point, stay tuned on more details on the other two projects.
We're working with some other high-profile project teams to add them to the roster, but in the meantime, if you want your project to benefit from our support, let us know!
We'll be introducing a bug bounty program for projects we partner with in the next few months. This means that you can be rewarded for discovering bugs and submitting fixes for tools you use like TWRP and ROMs like PHH-Treble. I'll update this OP with more information as it becomes available. In the meantime, here's a link to a post that describes our 3-step plan to get you to customization nirvana.
Thanks!
, Guava.

Have you considered reaching out to Ubports for Ubuntu Touch?
Would be another great selling point.

The lineageos support would be the biggest added value!

Hi guys,
I know this isn't the right forum to discuss about the A2 (Jasmine). I'm really happy that daisy has official TWRP. And it's going to get a lot of custom roms and other development. Is there anyway you guys could help the A2 community? We haven't got official TWRP yet. Or any kind of development. I don't know why people are not interested in Jasmine. It's a great phone. Please let us know if there is anyway to reach out to dees troy to ask him to build twrp for us. And some devs to build custom roms for us.
Thank you in advance

Yes, brother, need TWRP for our A2 device. thanks a lot!

I guess we need miui rom for a2 lite xd

Is anyone interested in joining a private bug bounty for the Mi A2 Lite? We're talking TWRP, PHH-Treble, OpenGapps.

I think the best way is for you to reach out to some well known devs from Mi a1 who might be interested in this stuff

Check my Collection. We have currently 14 ROMs for A11. Sure the development slow down since then but it's still here with great ROMs.
