Hi guys, I'm considering buying this phone, but I haven't used Xiaomi before
Right now I have a Huawei P8 and I regret buying it, pretty great specs but the firmware (i.e. bootloader, drivers) and software (their Android build) is crap. I recently installed CyanogenMod which is already a huge improvement, but the battery is only 2600mA and it's aged, so I don't even get a half day of medium high usage (watching videos, web, etc)
What I would like to know is mainly about the MIUI business
Huawei emui is crap, so please tell me whatever you want about Xiaomi's one
Also should I get the mtk or the sd version? Are there any other differences?
Is there anything you dislike about your note 4? I didn't do my homework before buying my P8, so please be honest with any problems you have with the phone
Feel free to ask me for clarification or additional preferences if I've left out anything
I feel I should mention that I'm a power user
I will definitely want to root my new phone, probably Xposed too, and if I don't like Xiaomi's ROM, then I'll probably use lineage OS
On that note, how easy is it to do the above? Should I be satisfied with MIUI?

You can play with your phone whatever you want, there are tons of roms available right now, rooting and flashing is easy, but I think unlocking the dayyym bootloader might take few days.
If you don't like Miui, you can always switch, Infact i dont like Miui its sucks for me. I left Miui like long ago, I won't be reverting to Miui anytime soon.
Its depends, some of em likes Miui, most of em' don't, custom Roms FTW!!
Battery is great, camera is also good.. [sorry I dont take photos, I dunno about quality ??]
Go get it, that's all I'd like to say!
Careful it has two variant; Snapdragon and Mediatek SoC. If you're custom ROM's addict, pick the SD ones.

I'm very much the same, almost never use camera. I've heard MIUI has beat features, like the double account thing. But you're right, if I don't like it there's always another ROM (in which case the Snapdragon would be better since more ROMs)

Yes I noticed from browsing the forums, but I mean I'm generally very content with Cyanogen, so I don't think I need too much variety.
The having to wait to get bootloader code sounds similar to Huawei, but what a large portion of Huawei users didn't know about was the website that let you fill in your details and instantly get a code (Huawei website, not shady stuff)

Edit: I looked through the Snapdragon ROMs
Seems it's all basically MIUI or cyanogen variants
(i.e they look similar to my current ROM)
So although "mido" has more ROMs, it seems to be more of the same

Well, I got it.
CM is dead and LineageOS is the new CM now.
But but.. If I were you I'd like to choose SD variant over an MTK one, because of development.
The stable Roms you get, when EOL of a device then there might be newer android versions via custom roms, where as MTK variant stuck, if you look in the MTK variant roms, kernel sections, you'll get it.
check on miui website for locked bootloader and you will definitely avoid this great but due to lock phone.

So I've ordered my my first Android phone, the Le Max 2 X829 and while I wait for it to arrive I am thinking about what Custom ROM to install.
I'm wanting something fairly stable for daily use and that won't drain my battery any faster.
At the moment I thinking of using Lineage OS.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Again same question, just read the forum.
Best of luck to you, for a 1st android phone you sure picked a rough phone to learn the fun of customization..
Well I do think that the best rom so far for customization is resurrection remix which has a lot of options and it's really stable, but If you like EUI you can check other roms
Mokee :victory:
I join the question, what would be the best rom currently available? There are so many ...
Most seem to have basic funcionalitys missing , like "camera not working" , which a consider unacceptable.
Maybe question should be different, which ROM has everything (or the most) working in an acceptable manner?
Thanks

Hello,
I can not install the latest Chinese version (23s). I went through the different threads and tried to install custom ROMS. Every time, the same problems: no way to use the Gapps without it crashing, or the phone restarts. If the stock allows me a normal use of the phone, would you have a method with clear steps to install it?

Why not try it and see. Everything works. Be nice to have more screen on time than 4.5hrs but otherwise it's fine. No crashes or re boots. Camera is fine etc.
I'm on 23s stock rom. I think its the most stable rom. Very happy with it
All custom ROMs for Max2 are either buggy, laggy, and have some functions missing or completely untrustworthy.
I mean you must be totally crazy to the point of being an utter idiot to run something prepared by God knows whom and trust your phone with your personal data. You may as well publish all your passwords right here in this forum. I don't understand this obsession with closed source ROMs.
I bought this phone and it's been lying switched off for the past two weeks because I don't know what to run. No options whatsoever.
The official Chinese ROM has tons of stuff I don't want to run and their launcher totally sucks (I'm a Pure Android (read Nexus/Pixel) devotee).

Why did you buy it then? What did you expect? Did you not read up on here before buying?
You should buy a pixel or oneplus instead. I run Chinese rom with nova launcher and its good enough for daily use for sure. I really want a oneplus 3t but I am too tight at the moment to bring myself to pay 3 times as much for similar spec but I know the software experience will be loads better.
One thing I would wish for is better battery life but guess it's the immense screen killing it.

A dirt cheap SD820 device with excellent specs.
No, unfortunately I didn't read up on the ROMs situation with this phone. I mean I visited these forums and I saw many ROMs available and people were telling that a fingerprint scanner didn't work (which I don't care at all because I will never use it since I'm actually a security person). I didn't realize this phone camera barely functions with custom ROMs, I didn't realize for instance that LineageOS (which I thought I would be using) was so laggy and its maintainers didn't care.

I guess you don't trust Windows, iOS as they are all closed or you just don't trust chinese rom? And also a little strange you trust custom rom made by someone from internet. Then why buy a chinese phone? What if they put something in the chip to get your info?

Microsoft and other companies (including LeEco) have a reputation to keep.
ROM developers don't even have real names. Your perception of the world is clearly skewed.
And no, I don't trust Windows 10, while I fully trust any Windows that came before it (including Windows 95). Oh, btw, there were Windows before 95, but you're probably not aware of them.

Hello to all,
sorry if I open another thread for this request, but Cosmic Dan, dev who was working on MIUI GSI, has abandoned the porting. He told me that all WIP was pushed to GitHub, so please is there any devs who can port MIUI Rom on treble devices? (I have Honor View 10). Thanks
Hi,
for information, I made the same request in MIUI Porting Team forum: http://en.miui.com/thread-3355142-1-1.html
I hope someone will be able to finish the kitchen.
PS: Even if CosmicDan give up, I would like to thank him for the time he spent trying to port MIUI to treble phones.
I have a feeling this will have the same outcome as the other thread. Why are people so desperate for MIUI anyway? If you want it, go buy a Xiaomi phone, they're relatively inexpensive for smart phones nowadays.

It is not illegal if you're not selling it, besides; xiaomi will appreciate you using its cloud and cloud based features as they can offer you services that requires money and make profit out of you, as you may know; xiaomi does not makes profit out of hardware but of its miui software and its bloatwares, so i think its a win win situation.
The spirit of using GSI roms is to be able to try anything.
To say if you like Samsung OS, LG OS, or Miui OS go buy it. Does nothing but prove that you are arrogant and clueless.
Please miui ROM GSI

Abroad different forums OP fans seem to be triggered when talking about MIUI, or request it for an OP device.
Be helpful or don't reply at all if you're gonna be a **** about it.
I absolutely love MIUI, however due to the device not being sold in the Netherlands, I chose for an OP6 (Warranty, local support etc), on which I hope some day I can flash MIUI10 on.

I barely remember making this comment. But, I was a little rude, no doubt. I remember that someone made a very rude ( that commenter was dickish)
Their comment about how people should buy Miui, instead of simply asking about gaining access to a ported Miui Rom.
Why say something like this, on a custom Rom website, and in the GSI rom section!
I cant find that comment now....deleted? Regardless, the spirit of using custom Roms and and especially GSI roms is to be able to have access to a wide variety of Roms, and its nice to have something different instead of the usual CAF and AOSP roms.
Yes, its nice to have greater access, and to be able to try different things. Thanks to being able to try a ported miui rom, my next phone will absolutely be a Xiaomi. You cannot currently buy Xiaomi in the US, and thanks to our political "geniuses" Chinese phone prices are sure to skyrocket, making Xiaomi plans to expand into the US market, even less certain.
Regardless, my next phone will very likely be a Mi Mix 2s, largely because I was able to try the Miui software via a ported custom rom. Although I cannot find the phones locally they are certainly easily found online.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to find GSI roms, that allow us to try a greater variety customised android OS's by One Plus, LG, Samsung, Huawei? I think so.
Xiaomi lately released a Pie ROM, I suggest it's a GSI https://www.xda-developers.com/android-pie-alpha-build-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/

Hello
I want to calm everybody down. This phone hasn´t been released yet in all countries. I bought it today as it was released today in Poland.
It will take time for devs to get the phone, wait for bootloader unblocking and then make something that at least boots and has WiFi.
I'm sure this phone will be popular, because there's not much difference between this and pro version.

Yes but K20/pro are quit long time in released, and much better support is for k20pro model, even in developer and stable chines firmwares. ( so it means in EU ROMs too. ) K20/pro models are exactly same as mi9t/pro, just missing band20 . we can use same roms.
I hope k20/mi9t will be popular as you said, but i am not so optimistic

Yeah, no much difference apart from completely different SOC. So, basically in terms of development, that makes it completely different and developing is being done from scratch. Especially if we take into consideration that SD 730 is quite new. So, sorry, but no sorry. The development will take time.

Yeah, also in my opinion it would make sense that the two phones (k20 pro and the Mi9T) had different forums. Yes they are similar in hardware but the most important part, the SOC is entirely different.
The k20/mi9t has been launched in India, it's a bit overpriced here, many devs here aren't buying it probably, they are instead buying k20pro/mi 9t pro, so development might be slow and less.
In the near future there will be nothing custom?
There are some roms in development on this site:
https://mifirm.net/model/davinci.ttt#other-other
You can also get all the stable versions available (eu/china/global) and a twrp recovery there.

Never used OMNI rom before this but I must say it`s awesome, ticks all stuff I like in custom rom. It`s very stable, none issues so far. Only thing that happened twice was the oneplus camera crash when I enter portrait mode but after clearing app from background all works ok. This rom has all the goodies from the stock rom plus much more customisation. Feel free to try it

Hi I'm coming from the Samsung Note 8 and I'm familiar with rooting but for some reason, I'm having trouble installing Omirom on my OnePlus 7T Pro. Unfortunately the thread is not for noobies. I've read and followed the instructions My phone is unlocked I have root with Magisk, the stock room with adb enabled recovery. When I input command fastboot -w it erases everything but I get an error in regards to partitions also a failed remote error I'm able to flash the boot image but all other parts of the Omirom I just get error messages regarding it can't find at the address. I unzipped the file and extracted to my adb fastboot folder on my PC. I've tried numerous times and well for now just put it to rest cause as you know setting up your phone from scratch a few times gets frustrating. I was wondering if I can get some help on this thread cause on the original Omirom thread, well you have to be an expert. Any help would be appreciated if not I'm just gonna have to wait for TWRP. Thanks.

Where is the love?!?
I'm very much a user - and very grateful for all the XDA dev support & hard work.
Was looking forward to OOS-based custom ROMs for the OP7TP - is this likely to happen anytime soon and to any where near the level of TLC the OP7P received?
Is the sparsity of cus-ROMs just related to non-availability of a proper custom recovery?
Would love to have xXx No Limits/ Havoc/ Renovate ICE etc for the OP7TP.

Renovate ICE developer doesn't have 7T/Pro so he can't test. But he said he might add support if he can get testers.
(I might be wrong, he said it in telegram.
It's extremely stupid by OnePlus, to not keep the whole 7/T series on the same OOS base, since our internals are basically identical. I mean we have same kernel base.
If this were the case then renovate would probably work for our device. (I'm just ranting might be completely wrong).
For XXX; this might be something

Are there any signs that a fully working TWRP will be available anytime soon(?).
Looking at the excellent Dev/ custom support for previous OP devices, I went for the OP7T Pro hoping for the same....
With the OP 8/ 8 Pro release around the corner - is it likely that OOS custom ROM development for the OP7T Pro will be over-looked?

If there's no TWRP by the time OP8 releases it will probably have same, if not less amount of ROMs and kernels (because new processor)
If TWRP supports later, I'm pretty sure all OP7/Pro ROMs will add support for T models because they all are so similar. (Like the kernels)
I myself don't care about custom ROMs, only kernels, and there's plenty of them to support T models.

I definitely feel the pain. This is the 3rd phone in a row that I've bought where it seemed development would be great, and instead turned out to be almost non-existent. Of course, I don't blame anybody here. I just really miss having access to multiple different fun ROM's and kernels. Last phone I had with good development was the HTC One M8, good times... lol.
Hey guys,
since I don't know how well or quickly the Xiaomi community is working, I was wondering when you think we will see the first custom ROMs and Kernels.
Especially an OC Kernel, I could imagine, would improve the experience on this phone alot.
Thanks!
It will take long time cause of accessibility problems. Very long.
Probably never.
Ah surely
Without jokes, there Will be custom developement in mid future?
No. Not before mid 2020
I think currently it's overpriced for sd730g, may be worth for that camera!
If they price it lower than k20 pro ... Hit!

I'm super happy with mine and don't think it's overpriced.
Okay I can confirm that there won't be any custom rom anytime soon.
Anyway, stock one is very good already!

Thank you for providing that info. If I can ask you, where did you had that info from? And why there will be not custom rom's soon?

Stock isn't bad, but a custom would still be better. Plus a custom kernel. That shouldn't be too hard since we have kernel sources released?

Interesting really this info is. The heck why, wouldn't there be a custom ROM soon any?
Me and my little green big-ear fella thought it would be nice to have such a camera in such a sexy body. But without aftermarket support... We don't know... So any update on the matter?

You can install any keyboard. I love GBoard, but you can use SwiftKey or whatever you want.
Just search for "Keyboard" in Play Store. If you want something very "raw", look for keyboards in F-Droid.
I spoke with some of the developers of custom roms and no one is interested in developing for this phone.
It really seems like there won't be any custom rom/kernel anytime soon and probably, maybe, never.
We will ahvr to stick to the stock rom.
Anyone interested in starting a reward campaign here?
First fully functioning custom rom gets the cash bounty
I'm putting in $10
Is that a feature? I would defo be willing to throw in some money!

Thanks for your information sir, could i ask why they are not interested in developing for this phone? Personally i think is a pretty interesting hardware
As MoneyFist, I also would donate for a good featured custom ROM ?
I don't understand why there are people saying we will not get custom roms. I think, the main reason for now, is that we have no sources, or I least I can't find them. Once we have sources, devs will be able for, at least, compile something
Sources have been released a while ago. I think once the phone will be widely available in India, we will see devs creating stuff...hopefully.
