The news will probably go a bit in the background because the Redmi series is not the Xiaomi tip series, but it's definitely of great importance to modding enthusiasts.
After having released the source code for the Mi5 some time ago, thus allowing industry experts to realize custom ROMs, to process custom kernels and a whole series of specific MODs, today Xiaomi has released the source codes for the Redmi 4 Prime.
What happens with the release of source codes?
I will be very short because surely those who are interested in the news will already be sufficiently involved in the field and therefore any clarification will be superfluous or almost.
The release of source codes will guarantee development teams such as developers LineageOS o RemixOS to develop ROMs that will be officially released for Redmi 4 Prime. This means that in addition to having the ability to completely change software branch to your Xiaomi smartphone, you can also try ROM Android Stock based on Nougat with all the benefits of the case.
Obviously it will take some time but the release of the codes is the first step towards a long series of roads that will open up for Xiaomi owners Redmi 4 Prime.
Before greeting you, I just wanted to comment on what is in my opinion a news not to underestimate: the Redmi 4 Primein fact, was presented in mid-November last year and the news of the issue of source codes immediately reminded me of some considerations.
And the Mi 5S? Why is it not developed on a "Global" level as it deserves?
It's strange to think that a device introduced as a natural evolution of Xiaomi perhaps better succeeded in the 2016, the Mi 5, still has software gaps. Let us think of a source code release!
I do not really know what to think like motivation, but the thought that the I 5S Born as a hardware test I've been frustrated by the head for so long and ... the more time it runs, the more this thought would seem to be confirmed.
Mah. Let's see. What do you think?

I also think that maybe the Mi5c was born for the same purpose as it is a conceptual mess, in fact it would have made more sense to put its soc in a rhyme like this and not in a top range like the Mi5, then it did not sense to take off the NFC and publicize I pay in China!
