Info created new custom rom

[Gratisweb]

I have read around that have been created various custom rom because xiaomi has released kernel source based on hours, the question is:
When I go out android 9 while xiaomi has not done android stock based on android 9 missing the kernel based on android 9 then there will be no custom rom based on android 9 missing the source of the kernel?

It's possible to have Android P without kernel sources but it can take a longer time to make and most likely buggy in the first few months of development

Look at older phones such as Galaxy S2. It has Android 8.1 even tho official development ended more than a decade ago

We had 8.1 ROMs with 7.1 sources (before Oreo sources release), and Mi A1 will receive Android P officialy and likely P Kernel Sources..
