Just being curious, is it possible to make Android Go rom for our device (Mi 4i)?
All the developers have moved on from this device so no one is developing for it anymore.Sorry
yes ofc. but no one dev interested. i want to try but my ferrari died

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.
Thread closed.
When Can We Expect Action: Mi 4C Android Development & Original Android Development ?
When can we realistically expect some action in the following forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/development
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/orig-development
When/if Xiaomi release the kernel sources
Hopefully as fast as they released it for Mi4i. I get my Mi4c in a few days
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:

How fast was it after the phone released? And where did you buy yours from?
Cyanogenmod 12.1 is available now,but I cannot create a new thread.

ROM requests are not allowed. Also, if you want someone to build a ROM for you then you'll have to PM some developers here and ask them if they would be willing but you'll have to be willing buy another device like yours and donate that device to the developer. If you can't donate a device then you are wasting your time asking for a ROM.
If you can't or won't donate a device then you'll have to learn how to build ROMs for yourself. There are many guides for building your own ROM all over the Internet and there are many members here that have made their own recoveries and ROMs because their device was not supported by any developers.

As I'm in the same position with this phone I'm considering creating my own basic ROM for it. Although I'm good at IT in general I'm not a programmer or developer or Android expert so I'll need to ask one or two of my friends to help me with the compiling and makefile aspects of the task (according to a Youtube video).
My question is how much time my friends would need to put aside for this (as long as I do the downloading and use my PC to do all the compiling work).
I don't even want to ask them if it will take hours of their time.
dude it is not problem for me

Hours would be an understatement, more like days weeks or even months to iron out all the kinks.

Do a Google search for:
"How to root (type your device's model number here)"
Go to system settings>about phone and look around in those settings for your model number then use that model number in your search.
If it doesn't find anything for your device then there is not a known method to root your device.

If a developer that has the skills to build a ROM actually owned one of your devices or had interest in building a ROM for that device, ROMs would already be built for it.
Since there are not any ROMs for it, that means that no developers own the device, developers only build for devices they own and then share their work with the community. This device is not the kind of device that a real developer would own or be interested in building for, it is not "new" or "cool" enough.
If you want a developer to build a ROM for that device, you have to be willing to buy another device like it and donate it to a developer(if you can find a developer that is willing to build the ROM for you, you have to find them, they will NOT come to you). If you can't or won't donate a device to a developer then you won't be getting your ROM unless you or another user of the device or you and several other users of the device get together and get to work learning how to build a ROM.
Mid-range to low-end devices usually don't get support from developers, some of these devices might get/have ROMs available but that isn't because an actual developer built them, it is because a user of the device or a group of users, that are not developers, takes it upon themselves to build a ROM for the device.
If no developers have built ROMs for it, but you are determined to get a ROM, then you need to get to work learning how to build it for yourself, you stand a better chance of getting a ROM that way instead of waiting for "someone else" to build a ROM for a device that no one is really interested in.

Specs are not what really matters, it's all about how well the hardware components are made, the mid-low end devices typically do not have good quality parts, regardless of how awesome the specs look or what processor it has. A really good processor on a low rated/cheaply made motherboard isn't much to be excited about.

Can someone please code a custom recovery and such for me?

Simple answer would be no, no one but yourself. Coding a custom recovery require for the dev to have the device in question. Second part of the problem is the incentive. Coding a compatible twrp recovery takes time. What is it for the potential developer? Pay someone to help you and you will get results.

True, true, but I am lost with where to start with this ereader. I would probably have to start with linage OS or asop to figure it out, and perhaps brick the ereader a few times

1. You can't just randomly flash lineage os. You need a lineage os image build specifically for your device. Flashing anything else will brick it.
2. Check this link

Now those threads are quite old. I suggest you read through everything and try to download whatever you can. Most links will be dead, so don't just jump in flashing stuff from the first post.

I'm quite sure after research, I happen to have the OG kobo arc
Which by far is interesting
I don't do much with Kobo.
On a regular Android I usually just start with the stock recovery and add a rooted ADB.
That gives me all that I need. I can manually install updates.
