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.

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
Envoyé de mon Mi-4c en utilisant Tapatalk
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.

Got my Mi 4C here... Really needs some stock Android.
Hey,
i'm too, very interested in this phone. I'm coming from the oneplus one. I like flashing custom roms and having a stock android/aosp experience.
Is the bootloader and everything else open with this phone, so that the development will be up to par with the one of the opo for example?
Thanks!
If anyone here uses Twitter, maybe they could kindly tweet Hugo Barra of Xiaomi to ask him:

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

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.

I can't test for myself since I'm on the 360hours period before unlocking my bootloader
7/23 GSI RR isn't really a daily driver. Camera is not good. I tried Open Camera and it just flashed color to b&w and back. Picture quality was still poor. Bluetooth headphones don't work--audio doesn't come through. No VoLTE (of course). Probably other issues I didn't notice or forgot.

Xiaomi makes nice phones but they aren't considered development friendly. It might be a while before a few AOSP ROMs are available for the Mix 2S and there won't be as much development for this phone as for the cheaper Redmi models since those sell a lot more units.
The Mix 2 had global LTE bands out of the gate and because of that it was available on Amazon right away and was reviewed by tech sites that pointed out it was the first Xiaomi phone fully compatible with LTE in North America. There is official TWRP for the Mix 2, official Lineage and some other development although it is pretty limited.
For whatever reason Xiaomi did not do the same thing with the 2S. It initially came out with much more limited band support than the Mix 2 unless you purchased the 256G model which had global LTE support. There was also no announcement at launch that there would later be a global version so reviews in the west said the 2S was incompatible with North American LTE unless you purchased the most expensive variant and those reviews were never updated after the global model was released.
Because of this a lot fewer people (in North America at least) ended up purchasing the Mix 2S compared with the Mix 2.
The result is no official TWRP and no development so far even though the release of the Mix 3 is just around the corner.
Official LOS is apparently in development but there probably won't ever be a lot in the way of AOSP ROMs available for the 2S and the handful that are will be buggy because the devs will be auto-compiling those ROMs since they aren't likely to be using the 2S themselves.
The Mix 2S is probably never going to be a good phone to own if you don't want to run MIUI. Maybe Xiaomi's policies will change in the future but at the moment they seem to have no interest in encouraging third party development for their phones. They see themselves as competing directly with Apple rather than as an Android brand which is also the case with Samsung.

I used the official and the unofficial version found on XDA. Both worked fine for me, expect some minor flaws, some glitches as it's a work in progress.
I used it as a daily driver and for what I'm using it it's working just fine.
I'm on pixel experience now and it's really good too, will stay with it for now.
RR has lots of customizations that's where it shines. As I don't need all the features and prefer a clean AOSP near experience I switched to PE.

Yes, go to the Project Treble section of XDA. It's available there.
It works, but Bluetooth and some dedicated functions seem not working. And it is so stable, especially if you rely on Xposed and Magisk for daily use.

Bluetooth is broken on all GSI Treble ROMs for this device. The Mokee ROM posted in this forum is actually stable enough for daily driver IMO. Just make sure to follow the instructions in the thread from Hyapatia.
Hi, which rom are you using for oneplus 9?
Unfortunately, the rom support for this model is very bad and many developers have stopped developing roms for op9. I'm looking for a rom that can get continuous updates. Best regards
JaguarOs for Android 11
NamelessOs for Android !2
These two roms are getting regular monthly updates and both are great.

For Op 9 and 9 pro finish
"Evolution X" I love the customization it has. Which is why I haven't updated to 12 yet lol. I will sometime. Love the rom though
Personally, DerpOS, which has both OP9/Pro support. Make sure to check out the pro XDA forums, as you'll be able to find many new ROMs outside of just on here.
I used to run EvoX, which is a very good A12 ROM, but when compared to others, isn't updated as much (I believe it's still on the Feb patch). I haven't heard much of when it's planned to be updated, as it's still migrating between maintainers at the moment.
A12.1 builds for the OP9 are limited unfortunately, as LineageOS 19, at the time of writing, is the only "official" one I know of, which you're able to do if you're happy flashing GAPPs.
However, many ROMs have A12.1 working in testing, though not officially released yet. Hopefully you'll see them pop up within the next few weeks, once they've passed their maintainer's QA checks, though I can't speak on their behalf (they'll be ready when they're ready). I'd personally be comfortable in flashing either one of these, as their developers seem very dedicated to supporting the device into the future:
StagOS, DerpOS, DotOS
StagOS in particular is also the only ROM I know of that are working on OOSCam. It seems their progress is coming along well, but you won't find it in any of their public builds as of yet.
As mentioned by a couple of people earlier, though I'd love to recommend Nameless as it's a fantastic ROM, it isn't being maintained at the moment. CrDroid for the Op9, though on paper is maintained, hasn't been updated for a while and the developer has been somewhat MIA. Love to see either come back though.
Personally, I'm still undecided. I saw that someone had problems with the Evox and with the derp very draining of battery. I would be tempted for StageOs ... but I'm still on oxygen 11.2.10.10 even if my device offered me the update to Android 12 C47. However if I do it I cannot flash rom!

Personally haven't had any issues with derp, though I did notice evox had a few weird bugs with material you in the latest update. To each their own, I suppose! OOS11 is still quite good, although I really do like the theaming in a12.
I have flashed all the roms possible. Stag and Evo are pretty gnarly, but I keep it stock OS rooted on 10AA because for some Reason, PuBG is not as smooth on any roms as it is on Oxygen, plus its like the Read-Ahead is way better. Everything Renders in much faster. Like its almost already all there. The Roms arent like that.
I kinda wish someone would make a Gaming Specific rom.
Bone-Dry nothing to it.

Thanks for this. I am so fed up with the bugs on OOS 12 and the app performance throttling. I have been holding off on unlocking the bootloader but I just can't deal with the issues anymore. Would be nice to see what this device can actually do... Sometimes it feels slower than my LG G8 with an 855...
I am waiting for official Pixel Experience so still OOS 12 for me

Depends if a dev is getting the phone normally... For the mi 11 pro/ultra there was a fundraiser.. after phone was bought... It took a few months, also due to source release off Xiaomi. But FUXI is wat more easy i guess.. so i think custom will come here fairly fast

Maybe it's the soc, for devices over a year old brands like One Plus or Samsung no AOSP rom too.
Xiaomi 12 (cupid) with 8 gen 1 has stable LOS. Fingerprint and SOC seems to be no problem. I guess, as soon as an good developer wants a custom rom for that phone, it will be a process less then 3 Month to stable. RN I use the 12X and on december a good dev got the phone and now we have a pretty good and stable base!

I'm so waiting for this too! You cant imagine how disappointed I am with Xiaomi's UI both visually and functionally, not to mention some of its stupid restrictions. Today I've succesfully unlocked BL and flashed xiaomi.eu wich fixes some of the annoyances, but I definitely think a more pure version of android would suite that device better.
