Question Custom ROM for Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro?? - Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro

Glad to have been here, I'm so exciting about my new Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 5G coming for next week so, how about custom ROM we'll see next update? Pixel Experience? or OneOS?
comment below about you guys think about.

I had been already got xiaomi pad 5 pro 5g version
This time,xiaomi restricted dailer apk couldn't run directly.
Also limited couldn't make the apk shortcut by manual.
Even more,xiaomi limited manual install any higher/lower version dialer apk.
So even root first,and flash Magisk voenabler plug-in zip.
This Tablet still couldn't make the volte call
So without contacter and dialer apk function,so far i couldn't breakthrough limited volte function.
If anyone can,please feel free to let anybody know how to do.
Thanks anyway

All that can be tried at such an early stage of the device's life is universal GSI ROMs at your own risk. If I'm not mistaken, it won't even require a custom recovery, but the result is unpredictable: from full functionality to soft brick.

Wish I saw this earlier. It's buried on the second page I didn't see. Would have saved me making a thread. I was going to try the Xiaomi contacts and dailer APKS but no point. I also found a very obscure YouTube video from Vietnam I guess trying to use Pad 5 pro 5G to send SMS messages to no avail.

Same issue here I'm using Verizon on LTE

Download gsi unzip the .img and then reboot fastboot with commie bunny then reboot to fastbooted using fastboot reboot fastboot.
U will see a blue fastbootd logo (text) then do fastboot flash system ./{lineageos19_gsi_here}.img

No custom GLOBAL ROM signal? Can you install a ROM of PAD 5 GLOBAL?

[Kirin devices] TWRP(ISH) for 8.1 GSIs (tested on Kirin 960)

Duplicate of post on the honor 9 forums, because no one looks on there for stuff anymore
lets make this very clear:
I HAVE NOT DEVELOPED THIS, IT WAS LINKED IN ANOTHER FORUM BY ANOTHER MEMBER WHO ALSO DID NOT DEVELOP IT
this is actually developed by a member over at the Chinese website '7to' http://www.7to.cn, so its a recovery based on TWRP 3.2.1 but seems to have its own UI and feature set.
WORKING
Code:
[COLOR="Black"][LIST]
[*]Boots to TWRP!
[*]Can flash images to system (MUST BE ON SD CARD!!!!)
[*]ADB
[*]Mount system R/W
[/LIST][/COLOR]
NOT WORKING
Code:
[COLOR="Black"][LIST]
[*]Decryption
[*]Data backup
[*]Flash from internal storage (since it cant be decrypted)
[/LIST][/COLOR]
I am not responsible if you brick your device, flash with caution and ONLY on an 8.1 GSI where your current TWRP doesn't work.
This does not do anything to capacitive keys, if they work before flashing they will work after flashing

2. cannot turn the screen off, it just sets it to a lock screen where it makes it slide to unlock, but the screen is not off, still on
3. its in chinese, i got to change it to engish, but some users arent smart enough to do that

I have this installed on my honor 9, and those bugs don't seem to occur, and, I know it's in Chinese, but it's easy enough to go into the settings and change it. If the users aren't smart enough to click 2 buttons they shouldn't have an unlocked bootloader.
I did actually try looking for a newer version in the 7to forums, but since it was all in Chinese (and Google translate wasn't too helpful) and the fact that the website is rubbishly designed, I couldn't find anything, but, this works for now, at least it can flash stuff and boots, that ls really all that's needed.
Actually, in chinese forums, its not hard to find this.
Here I share the latest twrp, which could be used in all kirin services and support treble roms in theory, and its develoler is "残芯此生不换".

The chances of it are probably close to impossible due to the MediaTek SoC the Redmi 6A uses. No sources, no custom ROM.

Battery Life is good.
From my opinion, I feel it is better than MIUI.
Not yet, the kernel sources for our device has been released, so maybe someone can make a bugless custom ROM for us.
Haven't tested...
Screenshot, please!

Kernel sources for xiaomi mi 6a is out!

This is not an easy question, because it all depends on your needs and on what you are prepared to put up with. Most of them will do a decent job - depending on your needs. For me, I have found issues with virtually every Pie ROM that I have tried - and I have tried a lot. I think you just have to try as many as possible, and see which one most meets your needs while giving you the least amount of issues. I have eventually stayed with official HavocOS - but that may not suit your purposes. And I am always extremely wary of upgrading to new releases.
PS: with the benefit of hindsight, I should have stayed with Oreo - but I have taken the Pie plunge, so that's the way it is ...

may be that's why people like MIUI...full with tons of bloatwares but reliable... however I remember my xperia z had huge roms available and lot of them were almost bug free.. old days were good for using custom roms

Hmm ... MIUI is very far from bugless. Personally, I wouldn't touch MIUI with a barge pole. It is the first thing that gets wiped from all my devices.

I have a simple solution :
1.Download your recovery img file
2. Keep the recovery in your phone internal storage
3. Keep the recovery in your pc too
4.Download adb setup in your pc
5. Install adb setup in your pc ( don't open after install)
6.Copy the recovery file
7. Go to your C drive and open adb
8.paste the recovery file
9. Press Shift and right click
10. Click open command window here
11. Switch off your mobile
12. Press and hold volume down and power key to go into fastboot mode
13. Now connect your phone to pc with data cable
14. Enter the code:-
(A). fastboot devices
(B) fastboot install recovery recovery.img
(C) fastboot boot recovery.img
Now your phone will boot into recovery mode
15. Swipe to allow modification
16. Press install
17. Install the recovery you kept in internal storage
Thats it...now reboot..
I personally reccommend Orangefox recovery

If anyone knows how to get another GSI like Pixel Experience or CrDroid to work reliably I am super interested

Hi I am kind of noobish to GSIs but I got the google built android 13 GSI working on my s23 last night, couldn't get pixel experience to boot. CrDroid would boot but I was getting a lot of random trips to the bootscreen during set-up.
Haven't tried android 14 yet, but the procedure was pretty simple for android 13 GSI. I had already unlocked bootloader/rooted my s23 before attempting this, which included flashing vbmeta_disabled
Downloaded official google android 13 GSI
Install TWRP with Odin
Reboot to recovery and wiped data
Reboot then into fastboot inside of TWRP

Hi guys, sorry for the delay. The stock 13 GSI was pretty good albeit not perfect. Smoothness was very nice after force enabling 120hz through adb (battery life is notably worse, as you would expect).
Feels just about as smooth as stock, which is pretty good IMO.
This was the stock google build, so no fingerprint or face unlock. I would imagine custom GSIs would fix some of this.
However I eventually returned to stock since I post videos on social media apps a lot, and the generic camera API on the GSI made it pretty bad to look at.
Fun to try out, just wasn't ready for my needs yet.
I also did try to flash the original recovery for PEX like the user above me mentioned, still no dice. I have been out of the Android scene for a few years prior to this so it is probably something I am doing.
Hope this helps, thanks!
use dsu sideloader
I rly Hope for a fully working GSI ROM on S23 Ultra

Fully working GSI ROM? lmao
Forget such thing, especially on newer devices and especially on Samsung.

I have tested a few of them. Only bugs are fingerprint scanner, Always on display and VoLTE. It can be used as a daily driver if you can live with these bugs. For me it's fine.
which GSI are you using? And which GCAM is working?

@mohammed510
he's using trebledroid's LOS 20 I assume. I'll try it out as well one of these days, and iirc the amazing dev behind it takes requests for adding support to fp scanners, I'll ask him about it

The "Light" version by Andy Yan is the best one for S23U. There's a camera app already included. As for gcam, the one by "Shamim" works but only ultra wide lens. Better use the one included as it has switching between lenses all working.
Bugs are:
AOD
Fingerprint scanner
VoLTE
I think the first 2 can be fixed with Overlays that are flashed using Magisk. It's possible to have a almost 99% working GSI on S23U
You can make phone calls but it will be over 3G networks (not that bad really) and not through 4G as VoLTE still doesn't work
You can easily pass safety net with universal safetynet fix "MOD version" and Google Wallet also works after passing Safetynet

thanks a lot! and may I ask how is the battery life compared to oneUI?
edit: didn't see your new edit, I guess I'll try to follow the guide for making an overlay on github, many thanks.

Battery life is better and phone runs noticeably cooler. Uses much less RAM also
