Hello everyone, I got this device about two months ago and am going to start trying to port over some roms from the redmi note 4.
I'v noticed that ROM development has been very slow recently, and even though I'm still a student its the holidays and I want this device to have a better future.
Here is the discord server for the P2 development and general chat.
https://discord.gg/K28XqCU
These devices have similar specs, which is one of the main reasons why I am trying to port roms from the redmi note 4 and not some other device.
I'm going to study more about custom roms, and if I may not be successful in porting one all the p2 community should give it a go as well. Everyone seems to be asking for roms and not many people bother to build/compile them.
I'll post any I find working on here as I go, and if anyone has advice/suggestions I'd be happy to take them, being new to custom roms and all.
If you guys could inform me about other devices with same cpu, screen resolution and camera specs that'd be great.
Currently the base rom I'm working on is AOSP extended v5 and the port rom is lineage os 15. I'v managed to port the boot.img over so far.
If anyone is interested on carrying on or continuing, all files will be uploaded on mega. You'll need android kitchen and other basics to continue development.
Make sure you have a device with unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery and a nanodroid backup in case anything goes wrong.
I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices, ect but I will try to help.

First ROMs have been compiled ?
Check ROMs section for aex 4.6 March sec patch and rr 5.8.5 December sec patch ?
Please do tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, as I am in no means a expert at this, just another p2 user wanting to give our devices a new life.
Thanks,

Wish you a best of luck, just make it happenā
Haha thanks. Any advice/ things I should watch out for?
With you mate
I too was thinking of porting from Redmi note 4.
Could you kindly share the methods of porting. I am a noob in custom ROM porting.
Also suggestions on which roms to be ported.

I'm currently attempting to port Lineage OS 15 from Redmi note 4, with base rom as AOSP Extended.
I'v ported the boot image over but can't find the "system" folder. If anyone would help with this it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
B50Corei5
Hopefully we can kick this thing off and get some other people involved, that way rom development for the p2 will speed up lots.
I myself am a "noob" at custom rom-ming, trying to follow youtube tutorials for porting roms. If anyone else with a bit more experience jumps on,
we should be able to get this finished quicker.
Let's do our best

Requesting help from experienced developers in finishing the ROM.
BTW are you using highwaystar's lineage os as base.

I'm probably messing up trying to port lineage os 15 while using AOSP extended v5.0 as base,
however you have to port roms that are the same os as your base.
You can't port a 8.0 rom with a 7.1.2 base.
Let's give a shot.
Don't expect for expert developer, because he/she can be already busy

Haha, thanks. I created a discord channel for it, link is all the way at start of thread.
Anyone willing to contribute can do so, I'll post updates on here as we go, don't expect
anything too soon though.
It is easy to get system dump and modify it cuz most of the files can be replaced easily by using the base rom.
Do you have any idea of creating update script and creating the final dat package? In my opinion this is the tough section i think.

Hmm. I just started developing roms so I'll look into it. It does look quite complicated. If you haven't already, go ahead and join the p2
development discord as it'll be easier to comunicate.

As there are going to be a ton of roms for Mi A1 , i just want to raise a suggestion that if possible porting the latest oxygen os 5.0.1 would be huge benefit coz its based on stock and also has lot more futures without much of a bloatware ..................................
If possible or any dev going to work on it --- Feel free to announce it and make us filled with the rom soon

Oxygen OS is a closed source system from OnePlus, you can't port it just like you can't port the samsung customizations... but there are plenty of ROMs that offer the same features as oxygen like dark theme, DT2W, etc
Why are people making endless amount of useless threads?
And by the way, this section is for ROMs and kernel related topics and not for such polls!
Thread moved to correct forum.
whatever rom you all would port, please leave miui camera as it is
Whether the ROM is ported or not, i think the most important feature is instant face unlock.. Someone please port this feature...

Don't make demands. ROM development happens when devs have free time and do it as a hobby. Nobody is paying them.
Also OxygenOS isn't possible as it is closed source.
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs
AOSPA would be awesome

Oxygen without bloatware compared to A1 stock rom ? Is this a joke ?
Oxygen is heavily modified, and for example you can't use any substratum theme, only the ones that are made for oxygen, you can't use any google camera, only one modified for oxygen, you cant use any xposed module, etc. So I don't see point of ported oxygen rom, that's like jumping from horse to donkey, but ok, good luck if anyone tries to port it.

Thank you very much
So I've tried all the custom ROMS that are released in development thread. And I've come to the conclusion I like Oxygen OS over the AOSP ROMS. Aside from the development thread are there other custom ROMs that are heavily customizable? Currently the most customization I've found was Xtended Rom, but I'm thinking of going back to Oxygen and use substratum for some different colors.
Please brother , can u tell me after u tried all costum ROMS , wich is the best rom , because i am new in oneplus community
I personally liked Xtended Rom. But it's all personal preference. You have to just try them out. The ones with GApps already included are easier to install. The ones that need to have NikGApps or BitGApps installed seem to give me issues trying to get them installed properly.

If you're new to OnePlus community make sure you know what you're doing or you'll brick your phone. OnePlus is finicky
