It works fine, it seems.
I used official e/os/ recovery, version “recovery-e-1.21-r” (the newest one wouldn’t load) and install the rom via sideload.
Wifi, SIM, location, keyboard, usb connection works. I will test more.

A little update - everything works fine except for one little annoying thing: when you press power button to wake up a phone, it isn’t instantaneously but it takes some time (sometime it’s just a few seconds but sometimes it’s longer like 10-15 seconds).
I didn’t find a way to disable it, maybe someone will know.
So, in the end I installed official version of e/os/ for whyred from here (it’s A11):

Update 2 - the same display problem happened on official rom and it’s a very easy fix - just turn off “prevent accidental wake-ups” in settings.
So I went back to @ronnz98 rom and sure enough. it works without any problems if you turn that feature off.
So I can recommend this rom after all, it looks like everything works fine.
Thanks to @ronnz98 like always!

Hello, i have a problem with camera is not work.
After fresh install I launch app camera and I have this message “Failed to open camera. Camera may be in use by another application ID:0”.
I have restart, force stop and clear data in this app and install other camera app and flash firmware.
But nothing works (all it’s ok with Lineage OS 21 in this topic. " https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unofficial-1st-may-lineageos-21-14-non-gsm.4670299/ ")
Second problem in app lounge in mode anonymous is not OK, message error
And @sethdot it’s possible to share old recovery /e/os to test with this (the official link is broken)
It’s possible to help me please ?

Hi all.
I have the same problem with the camera “Failed to open camera. Camera may be in use by another application ID:0”. But i have also problem with flashlight and the audio and so on.
I’m searching for older versions of Whyred builds but i’m not able to find them: all the link are break.
I found this page Install /e/OS on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro - “whyred” but the link to download the rom shows “page not found”.
All is ok with with Lineage OS 21 for me too… but it doesn’t have microG library…

I have the same problem… Camera may be in use… also flashlight doesn’t work, audio doesn’t work (though alarms and other OS sounds work), error when anonymous in the App Lounge…
Did you find a solution that you could share? Or the recovery e/os? I can’t seem to find the link either.
Thank you!

.
have a try with this build :
Xiaomi - Redmi Note 5 / Redmi Note 5 Pro - whyred - e-2.3-r-LEGACY-whyred
Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services [phone]
.
As developpement on some devices has been dropped,
the /e/ management decided to qualify those dropped devices as “legacy devices”.
But since the latest builds released by the /e/foundation for “legacy devices” are currently unavailables,
.
these LEGACY builds are not Updates nor Upgrades but a rebuild of the last version missing on official website…
.
my intentions here are :
collecting available dev …

Awesome Piero, thank you for the fast reply!
Using recovery e-2.3-r-20250224-LEGACY-whyred.img and e-2.3-r-20250224-LEGACY-whyred.zip seems to work perfectly!
Unfortunately, using recovery e-2.3-r-20250224-LEGACY-whyred.img (or the ones provided in the .zips) and e-2.5-t-20241121-UNOFFICIAL-whyred.zip or e-2.7-t-20250121-UNOFFICIAL-whyred.zip doesn’t work for me (see above with camera, audio, flashlight, etc. issues).
