Helium and Hydrogen ? Which is better? (Also ROM wise!) - Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers

Hello!
I want to get a Mi Max 64GB / 3GB RAM / 652+510 .
My understanding is that this is helium... any change this will get custom ROMs or official Cyanogenmod?
Any chance these phones will get Nougat?
Anyone knows if there is far more support for Hydrogen or for Helium?
(I am deeply confused, even after reading about these things...)

I can only suggest to check other xda mi max threads about this topic, as it has been discussed many times.

Helium all the way. Go big or go home. Yes we will get Nougat in the future.

Where are the devs?

The phone has been out for a while however i'm surprised there are no custom roms available for this phone yet.
Because those rom bakers only look for Phab 2 Pro... lol
2 plus is better, the way i see it. costs less, more people will get it and many would like to root and rom it.
im looking into getting it soon(if i can deal with letting another $200 go -just got the doogee y6max not long ago) I also just want to be sure i have the root process figured out. With the doogee, i asked for help and received none...but i still rooted it, luckily without problems.
I'm really hopeful some people jump in and get development going full speed on this phone(wishful thinking, maybe).
ROM tutorial, andriod for Levono phab 2 plus.
Hi I'm a developer and I have been looking for a custom ROM to upgrade my levono phab 2 plus to andriod 7.1 but it seems there is no such thing on the web, I'm wondering if does anyone know where I can find tutorials about how the ROM works and what should be modified in order to upgrade my phone? I can work on it it's just that I have no idea how android works so if can you provide information I will appreciate it.
Thanks,

Hello my friend, I am part of a group of users of Lenovo phab 2 plus, I am currently working with some developers who are using rom miui9 and LOS 14.1 for our device, if you are interested in participating in the development or being a tester, access this tutorial, and click on the group link for more information.

Custom roms for the 4gb ram 32gb rom Mi5s

It's kind of a silly question but will the custom roms work for the 32gb rom version of the mi5s? I'm asking because it isn't really a popular option.
yes they should
Yes they do. I'm using the 32GB variant and all ROMs I've tried so far work just fine (xiaomi.eu MIUI, LOS, AEX, XOS etc).

Yes, it's silly question . There are no difference between all versions of Mi 5S in source.

Mi Max 3 128 GB version + custom roms

I am interested to buy the 128 gb version but I am concerned about the anti rollback and other bull**** Xiaomi has made for the Chinese version of the device.
Is it possible to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and HavocOS + root the phone without problems? Or what is the probability that I manage to get bricked phone?

Yes No problem at all. I have the 128 gb version. I have unlocked bootloader och flashed xiaomi.eu roms and tons of GSI without any problems.
Thanks.
If a smaller screen is no problem, there are many better options.
The ARB will definitely accompany you and at some point will want to come back with a version and it will be there.
The 636 CPU works at 50% and anything that opens it goes 100% all the time. No advice, very problematic phone.

Netflix on Mi Max 3 MIUI 11.03 China Rom?

Wondering if anyone has gotten this to work, or is it pretty much mandatory to switch to a non-China ROM? If its the latter:
1. Any ROMs that work well with the 128GB China model?
2. Any advice on getting MI's GetApps (China appstore)?
Thanks in advance!

My Mi Max 3 is a Chinese version that comprises the unlocked bootloader and a global Rom on Aliexpress
In my case, I installed xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX3_V11.0.2.0.QEDCNXM_v11-10 is based in stable China, with several languages without Chinese apps, already has Play Store, to install Netflix

Why no progress in custom development for this device?

I know the Pro version and Pro Max version share the similar specs except physically the main camera sensor. I have a doubt if anything developed for Pro version will also work for Pro Max version like recovery, ROMs, etc. I see no lead for custom development here...
Please share your opinions and views.
Thanks

There is Xiaomi.eu for redmi note 9 pro max but there aren’t any custom things because there is no TWRP release or at least I think that’s the reason or maybe it is the fact that it is quite new

I know it's new... Let's hope it picks up the momentum quickly for custom development without which this awesome device is rather useless....

These factors affects development of this device.
1. Lockdown
2. Flash Sale of Pro Max
Many people are still waiting for RN9P & RN9PM

Yes, they can be the reasons for the lack of development, but I see other devices like poco x2 and RN9P have been picking up pace quite fast even though they are also on flash sale, especially x2.
Let's see... :fingers-crossed:

Yes but I think when the lockdown is over loads of custom ROMs kernels, etc would be released :good:

Pro Max is Indian Version and didn't got any developers still for specific development but it has Unified ROM Builds which is also used in other Redmi Note 9 Pro versions called "miatoll". It is stable enough for Pro Max go and try it.

I am learning git now and I am going to buy Redmi Note 9 Pro Max in three months. Soon I will make a device specific trees for our device and start development of custom ROMs. But I also need testers to test my custom ROMs that I will be releasing in near future.

Nice to know...
Actually There are a few roms (I'm using pixel experience). Just search for roms using the codename (Excalibur).
Extra info: I am using unofficial twrp since I was getting error7 when I was flashing using pitch black recovery

Unofficial twrp:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-1-root-redmi-note-9-pro-max/
Rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-9-pro/development/rom-pixel-experience-t4158325
So if you flash that twrp then everytime you connect your phone to pc, it will show "note 9 s". You can follow the step on how to flash, but when I flashed no_verity I got stuck in bootloop. So you can ignore that step
Rom is pixel experience, didn't see any bug yet. Just the front camera didn't feel optimised. Like when I taking selfie using apps like instagram or snapchat, it would be dark and blurry.
