Has anybody started developing any Custom ROMs or custom recoveries for this device? I can't wait to replace the Color OS.
First wait for kernel release from realme

Then it seems that there's nothing much we can do now
i got info from a close source working in realme that bootloader will be unlocked in December 2019 after they release realme os.
So we can expect rom development in Q1 2020.

Realme OS this December? I just hope they do away with the heavy skinning of the ColorOS.
Lol seems that's not possible. Madhav already mentioned stock Android is "not optimised" and raw so it needs "optimisation" and modifications. Kinda dumb excuse imo. Skin does not affect performance much. So you can build vanilla Android with good optimised vendor files and kernel.

Its been about year now, and 5 month in some countries, that nokia 6 launched, but no one has developed any single rom for nokia 6, even naugat roms, yeah we are using upto date naugat but custom roms are faster and with more features, with more abilities, official oreo also lauched on 4th October with pixel 2, but no one has developed or developing oreo....yeah its coming to nokia 6 by this month but if any dev would be developing any oreo rom for nokia six then we must be enjoying it, with faster performance, the custom roms are too fast then a stocked rom.....
So its my kind request please develope custom rom for this phone too..
Thanks
I agree it has been really disappointing that there has been no custom roms however the reason simply lies with two things; firstly the phone wasn't a major seller meaning it's community isn't anywhere near as large as other phones, secondly the phone didn't have any good rooting tools meaning that it was as near as impossible to make a rom that works. Even worse news is that a 2018 variant is rumoured to be in the work with different internals meaning if someone can't find a way of forcing user roms on it, the devices days are numbered, I mean look how tardy Nokia has been with updates already on its release year!
But still, even the last 4 nokia android phone namely nokia x,x+,xl and x2 dual sim, all were having good custom roms, even lumia 520 was also booted to android, then why this phone can't, if devs can boot a windows phone to android then they can develop anything, the thing is they need to work on it
simply because the bootloader isn't unlocked yet by Nokia .
Nokia said that they will provide bootloader unlock with the Oreo update.
There are many reasons for the almost nonexistent development right now. One being that there isn't any unlock tool. Secondly Nokia is yet to release sources too. Both these factors play a major role in custom ROM development.
Let's hope that they unlock and release sources, otherwise we're at a dead end

this is bcoz of two simple reasons.
1. bootloader cant be unlocked
2. kernel source isnt released.

As of now, Xiaomi has promised us MIUI 11 based on Android Q, which is to be released in Q1 2020..
Yes, they provide OTA updates time to time..check out the updater app it, informs you bout any pending updates...
Honestly speaking updates are very late, they make us wait for a long time for almost nothing, just security patches and few negligible fixes...
Anyhow i dint buy this phone for updates and versions though., custom roms are way better in providing latest updates

But Violet hasn't received the best of custom ROMS yet, this will take a while, also lack of kernel sources prevent devs from making Custom Kernels for MIUI..

As posted in the link above, Android 10 is set to launch on September 3rd.
As far as i am aware, manufacturers have to configure the Android 10 so it works optimally with their devices. And this process takes time to complete.
Does anyone rember how long it took to get Pie, when it was released for our device ? Thanks
Regarding Pie release: The first post in here appeared around November, while Pie itself was released around August. So it took roughly 4 months.

I am (was) in the Pie beta testing group and if I remember correctly, I got the upgrade around November indeed.
According to a Xiaomi Online Support attendant, 10 will start rolling out in UK this week.
When it's about updates, online supports often says what we want to hear
So wait and see...
Any news for Android 10 update?

It'll probably come at January.
But as always, expect wave of android Q custom ROMs faster than stock release

No! It shouldnt be january!
Mi A2 Lite has pure Android.
- No Bloatware
- No UI
Plus our device supports Project Treble. They used this feature with Pie update. Our device's drivers didnt updated since 2018 because of the Project Treble they dont need to update those. But it will be good if they do.
There is nothing to be hard.

The hard thing is that xiaomi has problem with our vendor, that's why we don't see fully working custom versions of Android Q , the only way is flashing a gsi version , or Android 10 with custom vendor , so... they have big problem , mi a3 has the same problem , that's why the device is still on PIE (they have promised that the Q update for A3 will come in the end of October)
So... we'll see , miui 11 is still PIE too... so maybe the problem is not that small

Since pie builds with custom vendor is in user opinion "more bugged than with sock vendor" I don't if there is sense to make custom ROMs with custom vendor if users days it more bugged than stock vendor, otherwise I'm still trying to build superior q, of course with custom vendor

As my fellow developers already must be knowing that Realme has stopped providing future OS updates leaving us on ColorOS 6 platform. They didn't even provide us RealmeOS.
I would be very greatful to you if provide a clean ROM such as Pixel Experience for this device as there are none in the market right now. Please do it as I can't afford another device till I graduate and find a job.

You won't get any ROM development, since realme did provide the source code and bootloader unlock method for creating the rom or rooting it. So don't expect any ROM development unless source code are released.
Query
So how come Realme 3 pro and 5 pro have got Pixel Experience Rom? Realme released the source code of those ROMs?

Yup, they released the source code and bootloader unlock method for the device, so they got the rom. You can ask in customer service for bootloader unlock, but they don't provide any necessary information. I don't hope any rom development for the device until bootloader unlock is available.
Realme 2 bootloader unlock

I don't think twrp will let you install oppo A5 rom in realme 2 as both Device are different. It would give you error 7 or something. If it you are able to flash also you are going to encounter so many bugs, like camera, device crash, random reboots. If you are still willing to flash the PE, take a backup of stock ROM And go for a try. But be sure not to brick your device.
So this phone didn't release with Android 12 so this means we gonna get only Android 13 as of the last Android update and it's stupid because this phone is released this year and Android 13 is expected to get released later this year.
Anyway is there any information on when we gonna get the Android 12 update?

I really wanted it to have android 12... I have never experienced android 12 and thought this might be my chance but no
Infact I'm so unlucky that my Poco X3 Pro bricked just 1 week before it got Android 12 update
and I'm not in it rn to flash custom roms as they aren't very stable and flashing without an official custom recovery is tough...
