Hi guys,
Looking at how Umidigi is growing rapidly and with each new phone release, boundaries are bound to be pushed. The slew of smartphones released under Umidigi are all very promising. Therefore, I would like to see more custom ROM being made for it. Personally, I've been considering doing a Paranoid Android port for Umidigi phone. At this stage, it's just an idea because there are several factors that will affect the outcome.
1. If I am to start building custom ROMs for Umidigi phone (which model), obviously I'd have to get one
2. Which custom ROM the community would like to have the most
hello and welcome to this tread, i think z/zpro it's a good idea to port ,only camera lib are differents. i prefer lineageos personally.
Hi, Personally I would prefer AICP if possible.
For me it would be nice RR
AICP
LineageOS
ResurrectionRemix
===
Depending on your taste.
I just want different roms I'm really bored of the standard one, I would love to get LineageOS
Paranoid Android or LineageOs
Hi thanks, I would like AICP.

doesnt matter, everything is better than the stock rom crap.
Hey all, based on the current feedback seems like the favourite bunch includes:-
1. LineageOS
2. AICP
3. RR
4. Paranoid Android
But its still early days. Keep the vote coming! Meanwhile, I'll try to get myself the device so I can work on it.
I have already tried some ROMs with my other devices and LineageOS is for me the best choice.
ResurrectionRemix is the second choice for me.
I'm happy with anything that moves this phone forward ?
Rooted a must option
Thanks for all the feedback and looks like Lineage OS is the hot favourite. Don't just stop here. Keep your opinion coming and don't forget to vote.
P/S: good news coming soon
Any other ROM would be better than official crap. But I've a question: until now there is no other ROM for this device because Mediatek hasn't released source code for X27 so, how are you going to solve this?
Hi guys, I've created the first build of Lineage OS 14.1 for Umidigi Z. It can be found in my other thread @ https://forum.xda-developers.com/umi-z/development/unofficial-lineageos-14-1-umidigi-z-t3639453
Be warned that this build is not tested because I do not have the device and it is created based on the best of my knowledge. I'm well aware that there will be plenty of bugs and issues. Feel free to reply to that thread.
Looks like he had the Z not the Z pro in mind Stock rom is so limited it's untrue

The problem in releasing source code is umi.. Since other brands with same hardware get sources... Like elephone, vernee... Good example is umi super and elephone p9000 use almost same hardware helio p10 mediatek umi no source code but elephone 18 months ago allready?
Resurrection Remix for its possibilities of personalization
Is there anything new?
I have the impression that there is no really working Custom ROM for the Z Pro.

Sorry, there is nothing working at the moment. Also, take note that my effort of porting a custom rom is for UMi Z and not UMi Z Pro at the moment. But I guess the two devices are not too dissimilar though.
Hi,
I have a T217S, with a perfectly working Lineage 14.1 . I regularly check for updates, and last build is from 2019.02.03 - may i ask about the end of support period? I hoe i can use this device for a long time, with an up to date and secure OS.
Thanks for any tips (even for where i can ask the Lineage team).
Can you share the link of the ROM? I would install lineage OS too on my device.
How is the performance with the ROM?
Many devices have been receiving lineageos 18.1. Even OnePlus devices as old as OnePlus 3T have had lineageOS 18.1 developed for them. The community over here is awesome and has done a lot of work. If someone could also develop lineage OS 18.1 for guacamoleb, we would have the most widely used custom ROM for our device. Thanks.
After reading about the fast kernel source release for the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro one could think that xiaomi did a good job at complying with the GPL v2 license and providing useful sources for developers of custom kernels. But appearances are deceiving: The provided kernel sources are incomplete and partially broken.
The most important issues are that xiaomi pushed incomplete devicetree sources which are neither provided by qualcomm anymore unfortunately and the touchscreen drivers are really out of date which leads to broken double tap to wake and under display fingerprint sensor. Additionally building the kernel isn't as trivial as it sounds anymore since many kernel modules are built outside of the kernel tree now.
During the past days i have spent some time on getting a source built kernel including modules and devicetree running on Xiaomi 12.
I have sucessfully booted the kernel and uploaded this work to github.com/xiaomi-sm8450-kernel.
Using this manifest one is able to compile the OSS kernel for Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro.
I hope that this can help other developers working on the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro!
For instructions to build the kernel and more details about missing sources please refer to the manifest on github.
Note that double tap to wake and fingerprint sensor don't work as is on the stock ROM.
Also note that the OSS display-devictree for Xiaomi 12 Pro is missing the configurations for some referesh rates which were supported on MIUI. This could be dumped and included from the stock dtbo.img with some effort.
If you encounter issues with this OSS kernel feel free to ask me and i will give my best to help.
To finish this thread i want to draw further attention to the fact that this is not a one-time issue with the OSS kernels for Xiaomi devices and the situation seems to get even worse. The newer Redmi K50 gaming got kernel sources which don't include any external respositories, as in no techpack drivers and no devicetree sources at all. The new Xiaomi 12S series still has not seen any open source kernel release.
I hope this project helps to set a better starting point than the xiaomi oss release to other developers for the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro.
Thanks for thus clarification Arian. Sad story....To be continued... Quo Vadis Xiaomi?
ti think the xiaomi 12 has suffered a performance squeeze... this is not because of the heat.... i have tried thermal unlocking and overclocking the CPU GPU and updating the driver 617 the result shows the real performance is vastly different many
Can you tell me which version of clang can be used to build the kernel from the sources for lineageos 20? And which commands to use? I would like to build a kernel for Kali Nethunter, but when using any of the defconfig I get compilation errors
Can you explain how to flash built kernel..? I built the kernel and I get the kenrel image but I don't know how to flash it to the device...
Would you know if this is also the case for Mi11 Ultra tree?
The OSS for the 12S and 12S Pro has just been released recently if anyone is interested in looking at it:
GitHub - MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource at mayfly-s-oss
Xiaomi Mobile Phone Kernel OpenSource. Contribute to MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
I would be interested to hear if the kernel source for the 12S family is also incomplete, like the regular Xiaomi 12 series

You need to pack the boot, vendor_boot, vendor_dlkm and dtbo images, the easiest way is to do that within the LineageOS tree.

Yes, unfortunately this devices source situation is even worse. On all the recent releases xiaomi did not release the audio, display and camera drivers. The released touchscreen driver does not compile either, though i fixed that by guessing and the driver works now: https://github.com/xiaomi-sm8450-ke...3b9d0f69ecd2ba01674a0dc29cfdc86782bb7c9d6c3da

So there is a stable A13 ROM for daily usage that has no big issues and battery drain?
Im tempted to try Spark OS.
What about Nusantara and DerpFest?

Thank you for sharing the links , many maintainers have stopped publishing it on XDA . All ROMs are done with the intent of running smoothly , helping old SKUs like whyred work. However you will need to decide which one you feel comfortable with . I try out all ROMs and then settle with one after using it for a day or two . The challenge sometimes is when you set up payment and banking apps , one will need to sign in an set them up again , but its fun.
Latest A13 Cherish OS Official ROM available here - , I did not see the maintainer's thread hence posting it in the discussions group.

Thanks for your reply and contribution!
I don't use payment by phone so not a problem. About banking apps they could malfunction even if i don't root?
So after you tried various ROMs you can suggest the one you had better experience for RN5 Pro?

Commenting which one is better would again be unfair to the devs, but it all depends on a lot of things , if you are a minimalist then the Lineage OS 18.1 which is being updated by Sunil, should be good , if you want the entire range of apps and goodies then SparkOS, Cherish, PE and other which include Gapps , if you want A13 and without Gapps you got versions as well. With RN5 pro being released nearly 5 years ago you will get the occasional stutter , freezes and battery drain issues with most of the ROMs. Moving forward I will lean towards LOS 18.1 knowing atleast the security patches are being updated and you can sideload google dialer/ message for RCS and spam filtering.

The problem with many of these roms is that they will not be updated for a long time.
look at pixel, its developer released the first stable version, and now they have removed it from the official website.
The sparkos rom, there is no thread in this subforum of that rom, it's weird, it seems that it is not going quite fine.
That's why I've put up this thread , so folks can share scattered pieces of info on which ever ROM gets updated since there might not be an official update in the forum

Because it's an old phone and difficult to find active maintainers, but there are still developers (see the latest unofficial roms).
There is also a good Telegram channel with other A13 roms listed both ufficial and unofficial: @whyredupdates
yes, but I value stable and updated roms at least once a month.
that's why I like lineage.
I have no use for a rom that after 2 months, is not updated.
I think unofficial LOS 18.1 is good to go as a daily driver especially with a 4 gb memory, Security patch being updated on a regular basis. I have reduced the number of apps and access them only through desktop . This also helps reduce notifications and extends standby.

Seba said that he will release LineageOS 20 for whyred in Q1 23, but nothing so far.
