hi all,
looking for a price on the Xiaomi red rice, I found this phone: Infocus M310.
It have the same hardware but cheapest, with a 2400 mAh battery and pretty look.
But there is not a lot of rom for this phone (not on XDA).
Do you think that the Red rice roms should work on it ?
Etotalk sells the Infocus M310 with a custom rom : "Etotalk Mod ROM". Any idea about this rom ? The phone is for my wife and she needs french language.

Hello.
My girlfriend already have it. Its really nice. With EtotalkROM. Etotalk rom means its normal android (without chinese stuff), rooted, and with multilanguage. We have it in czech so i think in french it will be without a problem. I have THL T100s with EtotalkMod also, and without a problem.
Well i already flashed few new ROMs for it. For Infocus there are not much roms but it works without a problem. So she dont need.
Regards
TY for answer.
Finally I choose the Xiaomi Red Rice : the Infocus is more beautiful and the battery is biggest but I prefer a phone with large community and lot of rom.

Hello,
Next Monday I'll receive my new mi mix 2 (I'm very happy and impatient), but I don't know if I will opt to open its bootloader to root and install roms, etc...
I had a xperia arc s before and played with lots of custom roms before, then changed to iphone 4s (good one but I definitely don't like apple stuff - too much protected and closed, with those headaches if you want to keep your phone jailbreaked, because of the signing restriction for the firmwares), and now I'm back to android with this model.
I know I'll loose the guarantee if I ask xaomi permission to unlock it, so the questions are:
- Such a powered device really needs to be rooted to really enjoy it ? I rooted arc s for obvious reasons about lack of internal storage and support for newer android versions, but... this mi mix 2 beast ?! really needs it ?
- Come on, give us some real and concrete examples where xxx custom rom for xiaomi mi mix 2 gives all people a real significant advantage, not just for playing around. I know this is full of fun that stuff about re-re-re-flashing and test stuff, but... speaking in particular about concrete final features, can you give me some justified examples ?
- I know I'm being too severe, especially having played before lots of hours with the arc s, but maybe I'm changing my way, because I'm searching for real advantages.
- Magisk or permanent Root ? is magisk supported for mi mix 2 ? if I use banking apps, I suppose that magisk is better. Right ?
- If those advantages were real, would you wait a few months or even years 'till guarantee ends (keep in mind I have years ofexperience playing with arc s's android roms), or start having fun ? I don't mind if I temporary brick the phone, because I'd find my way to reflash it as always.
Thanks in advance !
> easily switch to global rom
> switch to debloated miui stock rom (xiaomi.eu or epic for example)
> test some aosp on it (lineage, RR) which runs well
> magisk is supported (tested successfully on lineage and epic rom, both pokemon go works)
if you bouth a mix 2 with global rom, it may be less useful.
I just readed a few minutes ago an article about chinese budget phones. They came to speak about Xiaomi and Oneplus. Only 1% of buyer of both trademark send their phone back for warranty. This of course cares about device reliability.
The real question is : if you're not from china and didn't buy it from Xiaomi Spain (EU)… will you really use warranty for something that will probably won't be covered ? Better insure it by your insurance company.
I bought mine when Lineage was out because my condition is that my phone has to be as close as AOSP as possible and Xiaomi is known for quality. Playing with roms is up to you depending if you can stand with MIUI or not.
Finally, I think your post is in the wrong section. This is more general questions than Rom development.

Is there someone who can port MIUI on this device?
Really that heavy skin instead of oxygen os . .
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk
I personally hate the MIUI skin and the bloatware it adds with the ROM....
you might like it but OxygenOS is much more elegant
Ah the moment i'm on Liquid Remix 9 based on Oreo 8.1... It's a great rom but I don't like so much aosp based rom.... I prefer Miui or Samsung experience....
Up for this. Please make a MIUI rom.
+1, can sb port miui??

He bought a phone that is cheaper and developer friendly. The entire point of android is customization. He likes MIUI, you don't. Doesn't mean you are right or he is.
I wouldn't mind a MIUI port for it. Almost always running KLWP but just something with MIUI under the hood that feels more practical. OxygenOS, TouchWiz etc always leave me missing something. Then again, I been a MI phone user since MI2 so I might be biased
First of all my first phone is a Samsung S8 but I like customization and I can't customize a lot my S8 because I don't want to trip knox and loose warranty...
So I bought as second phone the 5t which is a great phone, quite cheaper and with a great community...
I use this phone for playing with customization...
Even if before this phone I had a Mi5 (which was a great phone) I didn't buy a new Xiaomi because I would have one phone with Amoled display...
That said, I simply would like to install other vendor ROM (like Miui, Samsung Experience or Emui) for playing with them..
I switched from iOS (ALWAYS JAILBROKEN) iPhone to Android Phone because of my intention to play and try theese Rom, but I would like to do this without having to buy from time to time different Android Phone...
And I thought that One plus 5t would have been a great phone even for trying vendor Rom...
For exemple: MIUI and Emui exist for One plus 3 or 3t... And Miui even for one plus 5...
So I simply would like that some of this Rom (or other vendor port) will arrive even for my 5t
How to identify international version vs. China version phone?
I want to buy a 2nd hand Mix 2S (because its the cheapest phone with NFC + wireless charging). Anyway, there are plenty of 2nd hand phones on the market, but how do I identify a China version (that I don't want) with a international/global version (that I want)?
Another thing I fancy is pure android. I see that it can be installed. In that case, does the original ROM even matter much? (I have also a RedMi Note 4 (Hong Kong version) and find the original Miui OK, but nothing I would actually install)
XDRdaniel said:
First of all, this section is for mi mix 2 only. Not the S version
Second, it wouldn't matter. Buy any version then flash the ROM you like.
And third, yes, some might say that miui is better In terms of smoothes, battery life and overall stability.

Whoops, sorry for this 2S question. My bad.
You answer implies that all have the same hardware and one can simply flash whatever they like to get the version they want. That sounds good to me.
Again, sorry for the wrong section post....
Hi all.
I have to buy a new phone and I'm considering the mi a2 lite.
I want a phone that isn't as big as the most of the other phones and that is cheap (around 150 €).
I want to use a custom rom with privacy guard tool and that will support the phone for few years.
For example the rom resurrection remix, why the thread in the forum is closed? Is the mi a2 lite still supported by resurrection remix?
Should I buy the mi a2 lite or there is a better choice?
Thanks.
The phone its a great option if you dont want a good camera for night...
RR its supported official, https://get.resurrectionremix.com/?dir=daisy
I dont know why is the thread closed...
Mi a2 is a better option... but more cost
It's good but not the best.
You will get a big battery, decent camera and screen, but software I think it's the worst.
Android One sucks, try to get a device with MIUI
Thanks for the replies!

On Amazon there are the a2 and the a2 lite at the same price now.
The problem is that the a2 is bigger than the a2 lite and I don't like big phones:
https://www.kimovil.com/en/compare/xiaomi-mi-a2-64gb,xiaomi-mi-a2-lite-4gb-64gb#design
In your experience, if the device is officially supported by resurrection remix, will I have the phone supported for at leas two years?

Are these considerations valid if I install resurrection remix rom?
The only things that I need are the small dimensions of the phone and the official support by a rom with privacy guard tool.
This phone is part of the AndroidOne program which means "timely" (!) security updates and 2 years of feature updates, so it is going to get Android Q. Some things you need to know:
-I think at this point Xiaomi, doesn't give a flying f*** about their AndroidOne devices. You will get the monthly updates at the end of the month and it will be nothing but a security patch, no bug fixes what so ever. Current stock Android Pie has many bugs, but Xiaomi doesn't seem to address those issues. Stock firmware is usable but they broke Cam2API functionality on Pie, so for now I'm using rooted stock Oreo ROM, which is stable enough and with some modules gives me about 11h of SoT.
-Fingerprint sensor is a bit slower than my old Huawei P8 Lite 2017, but it's okay.
-Back camera is great in good lighting, but any absence of light then boom, your camera sucks now. Best option is to enable Cam2API manually (although the phone supports it, Xiaomi doesn't enable it on their AndroidOne devices lol - MIUI has it enabled though, AFAIK) and install Gcam, then the phone shoots great pictures, whether in bad or good lighting. Front camera sucks hard without Gcam.
-I haven't faced any slowdown issues (except on Pie, again), phone is buttery smooth and mine has 4 GB of RAM, RAM management is OK too.
-Current custom Pie roms don't have Gcam support as of now, as soon as they get it, I'm jumping on the custom ROM train.
-You'll probably be satisfied with the battery life.
-Speaker quality and loudness is amazing, headphone quality is also great. (I stopped using Viper4Android on this phone, because sound quality satisfies me as it is)
-One chronic issue you need to take note is that when charging the phone, touchscreen is irresponsive. It fails to register your touches many times you use it while charging, if you're planning to use it on charge, this is not the phone for you. Hell, none of the phones are for you because phones shouldn't be used while charging IMO.
-Build quality is great, I was afraid I was gonna get a cheap looking and feeling product hence the price. But it provides that good quality feel. (only downside being Micro-USB)
This phone is great for a budget. If you're planning to use it with custom ROMs, you're gonna get much more from the device and it will make you happy. Hope I was helpful.

Thaks for your reply marstonpear.
There are some defects, but if I have understand correctly, you are satisfied with this phone.

I read that this problem is not present in all the phones and can be caused by the screen protector: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/help/keyboard-lags-horribly-charge-phone-t3886508

I don't know since I can't install twrp in my Mi A2 Lite.
But you can get a good experience if you install some custom ROMs, but there are some bugs but if you don't mind that so its ok.
I had a Asus device (Zenfone GO) and the software was just terrible too, but I installed twrp and installed rr with Android 5.1 at the time, and I got a good experience even though it's a bad device with weak performance.
But if you can install TWRP so do it, install a custom ROM in it
You are buying a Android One device with advantage of 24 monthly updates, so think again before rooting it and install custom ROM and blah blah blah...
I'll wait for Android Q. But the software isn't that bad, it's just a little buggy and clean.

I'm thinking to use a custom rom because I want to use the lineage's privacy guard tool, that is present in resurrection remix rom.
I know that install a custom rom on a new phone with official updates is not a very good idea, but I haven't found another phone with dimensions and price similar to this.
Do you know a better alternative?
Can I use the encryption with a custom rom?
I am thinking of getting the Poco F3, but I would not want to use MIUI and would prefer to use a custom rom.
I watched this video and don't know if what this guy is saying is true or not.
Would it be worth buying this phone if I am only going to be using a custom ROMs, or should I pay more for a phone that has better software by Oneplus, Samsung etc...?
I've used custom ROMs in the past, but it was mainly because my old phone no longer received support. I am on Lineage OS on my Oneplus 5t.
Thanks!
I picked up the Poco F3 BECAUSE there were custom ROMS and there are a few that are already really good so I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. I may even buy another one and sell my 512GB S21 Ultra. (Update, bought another F3) Don't pay attention to that guy on Youtube, do what you want to do.

Yeah I totally agree. This device is cheap and has all the qualities of a flagship killer. All the devs are interested in it and are buying it to develop for it. So in the future expect to get a ton of Custom Roms and Mods for F3.
You cant go wrong with this device.
Period
Yeah i agree.
Totally agree . I recently picked up one after selling my 3A only for custom rom. I hate MIUI and have already initiated steps to unlock the bootloader to flash custom rom.
I had an redmi 7A and when i saw the bloatware on miui my eyes popped out Jesus Christ.
Not to mention to root the stock rom you need to patch the boot.img specially for this phone and to mention it was 32bit rom on a 64bit CPU arghhh!!!!!
I only bought this device because it had superb hardware for the price and I could flash custom ROMs.
I believe in the community of the custom ROMs and think it is a great deal, I was thinking of getting some oneplus or even Nokia phones but I realized it is one of the best that we could get so enjoy flashing
Why would you even go towards Nokia..? Oneplus i get it but Nokia...

Hey mate, just flash my F3 right after one week of waiting for bootloader.
Gona say YES, IT IS FREAKING WORTH IT.
Come from Galaxy S9, after so tired with the bloat of Samsung, I flashed LOS, and man it is fast.
But, with my F3 on ArrowOS, right now, it is insanely fast.
Just buy it, you will not regret. But it is my personal opinion. The choice is your.
Within the price range, F3 already deiminated all other option. But with custom ROM, it decimates even the flagship

Just buy it. Performance to price point, nothing wins Poco F3
The only downside is the MIUI that comes with it which is sluggish and buggy. I flashed mine to ArrowOS and loving the device more now.
Have sticked to MIUI 12 and upgraded to MIUI 12.5 where they removed multiple Do Not Disturb schedules, that is when i know is time for me to flash the rom
Ok just watched the video.
His logic makes no sense at all! According to him buying a windows pc and putting Linux on it would be equally stupid. And the "paid devs" are less likely to unleach the full potential of a device then the "unpaid devs" because of model postioning and other commercial conciderations. So... still glad I bought my F3 for the custom roms
just bought poco f3 and I can tell you the MIUI isn't so bad (12.5.3) it is super smooth and with lots of features and configuration in it (double tap to wake and sleep, double fingerprint for flashlight..) themes are also rich. The main weak point is camera app that is not as developed as gcam but... you can instal gcam ports (8.1) that already work very well!! So yes this phone is sort of perfect.
Hi people,
I am looking for a custom ROM for Poco F3 that has the following:
1. Allows you to hide apps from the app list; not just lock the apps. For now I use LineageOS and I use a separate launcher and AppHider
2. Ideally, comes without GApps or G services. I'd love to try GrapheneOS but it comes for Pixel devices only
3. Allows multiple instances of apps eg. Whatsup,etc. I have seen this in a custom ROM but dont remember which one
Also, why do all the threads about F3 refer to 11x and K40?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a l lot

Xiaomi = main brand
Mi, Poco, and Redmi = sub-brands
Mi focus on high end flagship phones, Poco focus on mid end performance phones. Redmi focus on lower end value for money phones
Mi 11x, Poco F3, and Redmi K40 are the same phone targeting different regions with different launch date.
