{Q} Pure android for Mi8 ? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Could you please advise me a Pure android ROM. I would like to get rid of chinese bloatware\spyware software completely.
Most of the ROMs utilise Treble approach but it means that some spyware SW still exists on other partitions. Is there any ROM where i can Format Everything before installation ?

I'm using Lineage OS 16 by infrag. Works great

I'm using Havoc OS Rom. Works good

How to remove root completely from Poco F1 installed with Android 9 based custom roms

Dear All,
I have bought POCO F1 in the first sale and I am very happy with its performance. Once there were Android Pie based custom roms, I have enthusiastically tried some of them. I have to thank all developers here for their relentless efforts in bringing the most updated features to our beloved POCO F1. I just have a small problem, I rely a lot on banking apps and all of them complaint that my device is rooted on Android 9 roms. I know that I can hide root by using Magisk but I dont want to use it. I want to know how to remove the root completely rather than hide it. So, Kindly give me some information as to how Android 9 based rom can be completely unrooted.
Unistall Magisk
I have the same issue......my ROM came prerooted.....is there to remove root completely....
You'll have to try different ROMs until you find one that works for you (i'd Start from Pixel experience)
I never had this problem so i have a feeling that you might have missed a step.
(Did you wipe system,data, davlik before flashing?)
(Did you flash an encryption disabler? because you shouldn't)
Just flash a stock Fastboot package. That's the only true reliable way to "unroot" a device.
If your ROM came pre-rooted, it's either a crap ROM or is still being built in userdebug mode for dev purposes. If it's the latter, unrooting is a bad idea and probably won't solve anything anyway. So either accept it, or use a different ROM.

Android 10
I've looked into the lineageos gsi and it seems to work with very few issues.
I did have a bit of issue as the partitions disappeared and it now only sees barely enough room to install Android itself but otherwise it's quite good.

Best ROMS for my device Huawei p20 lite(ANE-LX1 - Kirin SoC)?

Hi all,
I have unlocked my device and is currently running LineageOS 16 from OpenKirin. There are a few things which does not work, like the camera app that comes with the OS as well as the notch, where icons goes beyond the notch. Someone suggested I try the OpenKirin Rom and that is how I got that specific ROM on my device.
I was wondering are there maybe other ROMS for this device? Like the one's mentioned in the article below?
https://www.getdroidtips.com/best-custom-rom-huawei-p20-lite/
It took me a long while to get everything running on this device, Magisk and EdXposed. So I just don't want to go and wipe my OS just to try 4 ROMS that does not work. Sure you have app backup for that but it would mean doing everything over almost on the device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I am rather new to custom ROMS so please bear with me!

There is nothing like perfect Custom ROM. It is highly dependent upon the requirement of the user and his likes/dislikes. Every ROM has its importance and downsides. You can try flashing multiple ROMs to find the ROM which is suitable and best for you. There is no Custom ROM that is 100% bug free (it depends, among other things, on model, FW built number etc. etc.).
If you don’t prefer EMUI,* choose Havoc OS , AOSP Extended or LineageOS.
If you "hate" Google and Google's bloatware (like me ) only, you can simply rebrand your phone to chinese Nova 3e (among other things, better battery life, lower data consumption etc.)
Or, choose Custom ROM based on Stock with KangVip settings ( to get away from GAPPS) , stable enough to be used as your daily driver.
Availability of custom ROMs for Kirin devices is scarce.

Hi,
No i have not tried one of the recommended in that list i provided. It took me a very long time to get the phone unlocked! Then more bricks, soft and hard through the process :crying:
Magisk was not as hard to install but EdXposed was, and I also got my device stuck on a boot loop trying to get EdXposed to run. So yeah I took me a while to get it working.

If I currently have LineageOS 16 (Aug 2020 ver) can I use the AB partition? I presume so because the Android version currently is 9. I am looking to try HavocOS.
Thank you Alf man you have helped me a lot with all my questions!

AB or A-only depend on EMUI version : 9.1 = AB, 8.0 = A-only.
Good luck!

Don't bother trying any one of those ROMs listed in that post. I wasted a whole day trying to flash a ROM specified by that website. Look specifically for ROMs on XDA website.
I get more help here, and it has been tested already on our devices.

Install GSI on A21s

Hi,
By advance, I am sorry, it's maybe a newbie question.
I want to test Android 12 on my device, I know they exist an experimental ROM created by grccorps (Thank a lot for his work ).
But, I desire to test the official and clean GSI ROM (like AOSP : https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list).
It's still possible to do that (with using recovery and fastboot) ? Or this is too soon, and there is a lot of issues for a daily use.
Thanks for your help
I am currently using grccorps' AOSP Android 12 ROM and haven't had any problem so far, aside from the lack of customization options (it's stock Android 12, totally clean). Everything works just fine, and haven't had any random reboots or similar bugs at all. You might want to give it a try.

Replace Android kitkat on a GPS device ?

Hello,
I have experience on building Android app and system app but now I wish to try to build a new ROM to update my device.
I am using a Chinese GPS device (GPS, sound, led, 4G) with Android KitKat. I have the ROM , can add/remove apps in the ROM but it's not enough, I wish to upgrade Android
I am a bit lost in what can be done or not.
I think it's not enough to build an Android ROM because it's necessary to have the drivers, I should be able to retrieve the drivers from my current rom ?
Anyone can give me some leads, maybe recommendations about how to start ?
If it can help, the chipset is SL8521E
