Yeah, that is sad, there is basically no one left for our good old Redmi 4 Prime.
Does anyone knows how @jacoghi is doing ? We haven't see the man in a long time and I would like to know if he is doing well in his life.

Question for devs, Is it possible to use source code from Redmi 4 Note with SD (code name: mido)? Hardware is quite similar and they have real strong dev community. Maybe quickest way is to use custums Roms for Redmi 4 Note, adjusted hardware differences and compile Rom for R4P?

Xiaomi doesn't release kernel source for building AOSP or CAF based rom, kernel source only work for MIUI at most. Also most proprietary vendor driver not available as sources (only blob). It's pain to build custom rom from Android fork.
Compared to Samsung, Sony, Lenovo, Oneplus etc, almost all abandoned xiaomi devices suffered same fate, the custom rom will always missing something. We were very lucky if we had such a great developer.
My previous device, redmi 1s never get update beyond kitkat, but armani-dev (especially fefifofum) were a great team, they bring mostly stable nougat release (LOS, Mokee, Slim, etc).

Redmi Note 4X has many ROM's, officially.
There was idea that that device is like ours so we should talk to some devs and use its sources

That would be essentially the same proccess we are now. It can be achieved though to use the tree from Mido and modify it for our device. Make a stable tree then compile ;)

You do not need to talk about things you do not know. I had problems with the hard drive and only some people from the Russian community helped them to solve. For them, I continue to work. The rest can freely use my source, they are completely working.

You have problem with HDD? Why didn't say that in R4P forums, you just say that you want to stop developing because you don't have time to do it. Is that whole reson to stop sharing with R4P community ?
