Hi everyone,
As you might imagine, keeping up with all these devices takes away a lot of my free time and money, so if you appreciate my work it would be awesome if you could donate something, even 5$ are fine.

Public statement regarding POCO F4 (munch) crowdfunding organized by Xiaomeme/POCO alliance federation
https://telegra.ph/Crowdfunding-Contract-with-DEV-and-Poco-Alliance-MUNCH-07-16 (archived version)
Premises:
I'm gonna be both honest and direct while I go through every step which surely needs some clarifications.
Also I'm sorry if this can be badly written or something, I'm on vacation, writing this with my phone, 100km away from my PC, having slept only 3 hours tonight.
Also, if you're not used to Xiaomi communities, I'm terribly sorry, this will look extremely cringe for you, and for me as well, but let's just say Xiaomi communities are special and needs some special treatments (that's the reason I decided to leave any public Xiaomi group)
Start:
Considering munch has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 (same SoC family as lmi, alioth and apollon) I decided to happily accept this crowdfunding to start development for this device, since it would have been easy enough for me.
Usually, a crowdfunding works like so:
- Developer propose for working for a device
- A public spreadsheet is made and managed by the developer where donations are tracked
- People donate money
- Developer buys the phone and does stuff for it
And any sort of developer-contributor relation should end there, without any time constraints, nor pretending anything
...but it isn't the case right here.
Xiaomeme federation (probably to avoid what happened with POCO F3 crowdfund and Vasi, which totally made a mess and didn't pull out anything useful in 1 (one) year) decided to make developers sign a sort of agreement in which they promise to do some stuff. Saying "some stuff" is definitely an understatement.
Let's go through them:
- 3 years support2 years support (it has been edited after pointing this out, not like it changed much)
Sheesh that's a lot of time, for instance, I got POCO F2 Pro with a self-managed crowdfund, and 2 years hasn't passed yet, but it feels like an eternity (still, I'm happily working on this device and no one complained, nor pretended stuff). The issue itself aren't the 2 years, it's the fact that they want to force me to work for a certain period of time, which is not a good thing, I'm not working for anyone, I just do this stuff for myself, thus making me feel like I'm doing this because I'm forced to is not fine to me.
- I'm gonna skip second, third, fourth and fifth point, probably because that's something I would definitely do without being forced to do it.
- Sixth point is related to first one
- Seventh point is a very hot take:
"In case community is not happy with devs work, he needs to return the device unconditionally."
What's the parameter for evaluating my work? ROM not booting? Bluetooth audio not working? PUBG lagging? Missing Dirac implementation? This definitely needs some clear up, and even if it was cleared up somehow, you should evaluate what I can and will do depending on my previous work with other devices (spoiler: I make sure everything works, no ricing or additional useless features). To end this point, I'm sure not everyone will be happy how I do stuff, so if one complains I have to return the device? Yeah, totally no sense.
- Gonna skip the following points except point number 10: Even if I were to sign the document, it wouldn't have legal meaning (at least here in Italy, since I live here), so just a friendly warning before someone thinks that I'm legally obligated to work on it.
Again, I would do it, but not because of the contract. Crowdfunds are based on trust.
Conclusions:
I'll say it again, a crowdfund is (and should be) a thing entirely organized by the community, without any external third party involved, based entirely on good faith between the two parts (developers and contributors). If this becomes like a contract, then it doesn't make sense anymore.
To sum it up, if they don't trust me, and instead they force me with this type of fake-contract, I'm gonna end this right here to protect my image, I'm sure sane people is thinking "wtf" when reading that Telegraph document, and I do that as well.

@lineageos_updates
Errata corrige: we don't need new kernel sources for lmi, thanks to @ChaptSand for noticing that Xiaomi made cmi/lmi/umi reserved memory regions on par with latest devices
A few days and it should be ready
sebaubuntu.dev and @SebaUbuntuBot are down for some time due to maintenance
Edit: up again
To resume what I was supposed to post on this channel, let's begin with some infos:
- Since twrpdtgen is currently a shitshow (TWRP too now :P), I'm developing a LineageOS/AOSP device tree generator, but this time it's gonna be good (dynamic partitions, vendor_boot, A/B, etc)
You can see an example here (it's gonna get updated as I progress with the script)
After it reaches a useable point, I'll update twrpdtgen where possible, but pre-Treble support (especially dynamic partitions support) will be dropped, so you'll need to use aospdtgen and build AOSP recovery
- I'm rewriting dumpyara's firmware_extractor in Python, since the current Bash version is starting to be a mess (although still working good)
- For LineageOS 19.x, please wait some time, as of now the only device I bringed up is lmi

it's gonna be treated like a normal crowdfunding, then I'll be more than available to work on munch, until my unit dies (like I'm doing with my POCO F2 Pro, or POCO X3 Pro if that matters (again thanks POCO Italy for giving me that phone), or Mi 9T Pro (thanks again to @MaxBear for entirely paying the phone price and sending it to me))
These are the kind of gestures from the community that I appreciate and gets me going with what I do, but oh boy being so enforced is a no-no for me.
Once Xiaomeme will propose something saner to me, I'll happily accept, but until then, it's a no.

For anyone wondering, lmi hasn't got 19.1 yet because I need new kernel sources from Xiaomi since they modified the sensors stack on firmware, so you would have broken sensors on Android 12 firmware + Android 11 kernel. Feel free to spam MiCode or something.
alioth and apollon don't have this issue, so they'll be shipped soon once we fix some stuff related to display HAL.
vayu will probably be shipped soon too.
For grus I'm only missing SELinux enforcing and FOD stuff, but apart from that it's ready
My first two target devices, lmi (sm8250, A-only dynamic partitions) and grus (sdm710, A-only standard partitions) were successful in booting LineageOS recovery with everything working (fastbootd too!) with my aospdtgen tool ^-^
