If we want to move one criticism against Xiaomi, we have to do about the fact that the release time of the kernel source code of their devices does not always happen quickly, and this for the most nerdy users creates a conflictual relationship of love / hate to the Chinese society, overshadowing the impressive quality of construction as well as hardware specifications with affordable prices. This translates into the fact that for developers and "chefs" of ROM on an AOSP basis such as LineageOS, it becomes difficult to process jobs to be shared with the community lover of extreme personalization and who does not want to be bound to the MIUI interface.
However, good news is coming for Xiaomi Redmi 4X owners that will make them happy, as the company has finally released the kernel source code for the Android Nougat version on GitHub portal.
IN THE FUTURE YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO EXPECT A LONG TIME FOR THE RELEASE OF THE KERNEL SOURCE CODE
Fortunately for the modding lovers the custom ROMs available for the Redmi 4X were already available because the device is similar as hardware to other models of the company, but the official release of kernel sources makes it easier to smooth out small bugs that are hidden in existing ROMs. In the future, moreover, there will be no more waiting months before the release of the source code as the next devices like Mi Max 3, Mi 7 and Mi Mix 2S will be launched with Android Oreo already installed and then Thanks to the Project Treble it will be easier to create a generic build on an AOSP basis.
So if you are the owner of the Xiaomi Redmi 4X and want to try a new ROM or you have already installed it but every day you face small bugs, you just have to wait a little longer poco time before seeing 100% working ROMs dedicated to this device, so you should check your favorite geek community for future news of the case.
