[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.

When Can We Expect Action: Mi 4C Android Development & Original Android Development ?
When can we realistically expect some action in the following forums:

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?

ZTE V5 Pro N939St
Love the remarkable hardware and built quality but hate the ZTE software.
Can't wait to find developers who can develop a better ROM for this phone.

A nice and affordable device it deserves its own thread

I'd love to see an official CM rom for this device. CM 12.1 working great but still has a few bugs.

How can we root this device?

Guys please see this thread for updates and mods from this device, until the relevant forum group is created. Root, CM and multilanguage roms are all discussed in this thread. Link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3208231
There are already ways of removing Chinese apps, rooting the phone, installing TWRP and latest V1.35 rom with multilanguage and gapps. As well as installing CM.

Hello Friend as I am using Device Since last 10 months. Flashed Lots of ROM kernel Etc on device. Now after flashing leaked version of MiuiPRO 10 9.5.16 I was totally surprised with the Rom. For the battery performance. So I had decided to stick with MiuiPRO for long. So now when I visit their official website for subscription it's written [PayPal ] was not acceptable from India and some few countries. I had no other options for payment gateway. { Someone please please to subscribe }. I would very much glad for the help thanksss.

What rom you choose to use in your device is your choice.
But, a paid rom will not be discussed on XDA. Please deal with it on your own, and don't involve any other memeber in this.
I'm leaving this here for others to read and be aware of this information.

Question about ROM

How is your experience with these all operating systems for POCO X3 NFC
