OMG I can't believe this is happening! wohoooo!

 

[ForgottenDude]

They took four damn months. They are supposed to release it WITH the device.

Oh well, still better than the Redmi 2 situation!

That's good news, you can thank Xiaomi to comply with GPL.

It took 2 years for them release kernel of my Mi Pad 1. This is a lot better!

I decided to post this here because I figured this is the section people who use Custom ROMs and stuff visit.

Also, thank Xiaomi? For doing what they're supposed to do? Five months late at that?

This falls under news, so it should be there.
And, it's called manners. No matter how late or how long, they released it and that's what matters. Keep showing contempt at everything that happens just makes the person worse.

My previous phone was LG G Flex 2, it's powerful phone with Snapdragon 810.. over 2 years old, and LG has still not released sources and not unlocked bootloader.

Trust me, Xiaomi is not as bad as you think.

If I don't thank someone for doing what they're supposed to do, and if it makes me look like a bad person, then so be it. Do you thank OEMs for making phones, too? You're making me out to be like this guy.

This? https://github.com/lg-devs/android_kernel_lge_msm8994

Anyway, just because some OEM didn't release kernel sources doesn't make it right. Both are at fault here - LG and Xiaomi. Forgiving Xiaomi because other OEMs haven't done it either will make it the norm.

That guy is another story. I do thank OEMs for some of their choices, just some.
Also, I look at it in this way:

If I return something I am overdue with, which reaction would I prefer from the lender?
A: Thanks man, try not to take too long again next time yea?
B: Well it's about time, don't do that again next time yea?

I'd feel better with the response from A. But I understand there are cultural differences that makes people think B is also a very reasonable choice, so I'm not trying to accuse anyone of anything negative with respect to that.

Well I do thank OEMs for continuing with the 3.5 mm jack, because some OEMs think it makes sense to remove it.

Well, if you put it that way... you're right. But then again, you're not an OEM who makes millions of bucks off the thing you're overdue with. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, I'll edit the OP.

Yep.. You posted in good place bcoz this is the most browsed area.. I visit usually 3-4 times a day, so I can assume thousands of people will see it here rather than in Question and Answer area or Guides area.

So now that finally the Official ROMS would be rolling out, how can we keep ourselves updated to know asap when they get released?

 

[ojankun]

So we can get Quick Charge? Sorry noobs question.

Unfortunately no Quickcharge is a feature that can only work if the phones hardware has that capability. In the RedMi Note 4 that isn't present. So flashing a custom ROM won't provide you with that feature either. Click "Thanks" if I helped

The Note 4 has a Snapdragon 625 CPU which supports QC 2.0. Xiaomi just didn't add the drivers that enables it.
