Question Should I purchase Redmi note 12 (India)

[kakashi_hatake_8]

Hi,
Requirements: Custom ROM support
Another requirement : More Custom ROM support

I googled and find that Xiaomi did not release their Kernal and source code yet.

Is going release them near soon.

What is the situation on Xiaomi side.

Previously I've used OnePlus 9R ( of course all custom ROM only)

Kindly advise.

Let's face it. You buy Redmi devices because it's best value for money and Xiaomi is able to subsidize the hardware by putting ads on your phone, so it's not in their best interest to help you put custom ROM on it.

if you really prioritize custom roms then pay a couple of dollars more and get a OnePlus.
