[ROMs] Nougat ROMs for Redmi Pro

[end222]

Hello everybody!

This thread will be dedicated to Android N developement. Since now the ROMs are not ported (we have a device tree to compile from source) we can get any Android N ROM working but with the same bugs.
From now on i will be working on fixing the bugs of the device tree/vendor tree and any help with it would be apreciated.

I will share my device tree so that people can help with it:
Device tree: https://github.com/end222/lineage_device_omega
Vendor tree:https://github.com/end222/lineage_vendor_omega

Want to help?

In the device tree in github I have opened some issues where I try to put as much relevant information as I can about the state of each bug and the errors I am getting. Please give it a look to see if someone can help

Bugs:

Working:

• It boots up
• Speaker sometimes
• Network
• Wifi
• Bluetooth
• FM Radio
• Chargin while being off
• Flashlight
• Rear camera without focus
• Mobile data
• Sound

Not working:

• Calls
• Camera focus and front camera
• Headphones
• IR
• Fingerprint sensor
• It shows corrupted SD at boot but SD works good

Old ones (To be updated):

If you want to give a try to another AOSP like ROM just tell me and I can make a build

If you try the ROM and find any bug please tell me and I will add it to the bugs section in order to work on it and also to give other a clearer information about the ROM.

You forgot to add fingerprint sensor.

That's right

I recommend you to atach the sources below the rom and use devdb not just a regular thread

In the end I didn't use the device tree I had done. CM sources were giving me warnings about framework, something related to non-existent images for the resolution of the Redmi Pro (CM had already closed when I downloaded them).
Then I took the ROM compiled by andrianom for the RN4 and resized the system dat by hand. Then I modifyed the kernel to get it working on the RM Pro.

So in the end this is a port from the RN4, it is not compiled from source. However I will try to compile Lineage from source as it is almost the same and the device tree I had made should work with some modifications

when can you make this rom stable bro?not eta just asking

I won't answer that question [emoji14]
I am still really new in the world of developing ROMs as Redmi Pro is the first device that I have used for developing. Then if I knew how to solve all the bugs maybe I could tell you more or less how long it could take.
However, the only thing I know is that I have to modify the vendor tree by mixing it with the vendor tree of other devices. So I cannot tell how long it can take and if I will be able to do it

Recommended resources

Hi end222 , I just got this phone. Love the specs / screen / performance. The only thing i hate is the OS. I had been using Nougat on a flashed Samsung S4. Just cant bear the older version of Android now, especially the notifications.
I am not new to the world of development but haven't developed ROMs before. Are there any recommended resources you have where I can learn the basics and add on to the work you have done so far. I would love to to be able to create version which can be used daily.

I would really love to see more people working for this phone.
What I recommend you is to read some of the MTK porting guides that can be found on the internet, for example, on xda.
The most important thing you have to learn from those guides is how to port the boot.img.
Do not try to port the whooe ROM using those methods because I tried and they result in most of cases in bootloop. So to port to Redmi Pro you have to:
- From RN4 just by porting the boot.img (and resizing the system image in Nougat) is enough to get it booting.
- From Apollo Lite you will have to copy also hwcomposer from the stock ROM, located in lib/hw and lib64/hw. Also do not forget to port also the boot.img

If you find any problem or have any doubt do not hesitate to send me a message and I will do my best to help

Lately, I have been always checking all the threads created expecting for any stable update to flash redmi pro but it seems everyone gave up from porting... Is there anyway to port an existing nougat ROM from other xiaomi model and getting stable ? At least the phone and the headset part... I am tired of MIUI ROM specially the weekly version...
Besides that I would to thank to all the people that had helped with this project without them I probably had sold my redmi pro already >.>

The closest phone to the RM Pro is the Redmi Note 4 and this is the best I have been able to do by porting from that device. The main problem is that the phone isn't working in the RN4 either.

Whenever I have more free time I will keep trying things. It should be possible to get at least a good working non MIUI ROM based on Android 6. However it would be much harder to get Android 7 stable

I want to try this ROM, can i downgrade to 6.0 based miui rom safely after I try this ROM? ini

Yes, you should be able to flash MIUI with TWRP after using this ROM. I would also recommend you to do a backup of MIUI before flashing it and then you can come back to MIUI without losing any apps
