New Mi 5S Plus - essential first steps

Hello,
I will getting the Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus tomorrow.
What are some of the first things I should be doing? I feel like I will not like the MIUI too much as I have used stock android on my old Nexus and more recently Cyanogen on my OPO. I plan to install Cyanogenmod on the phone as soon as they release it.
I believe I should do the following to prepare for that so that I do not need to start from scratch in the future (unsure of order and how to do it, some advice and guides here would be helpful, as well as an explanation of the purpose of each step):
- install custom recovery (I'm 99% certain I need to do this to install another ROM)
- root the phone (I don't think this is necessary, but allows me to do other things e.g. use Greenify)
- unlock bootloader (not sure what the purpose of this is)
Are there any other steps I should take?
Thanks in advance!

Can you please explain what you mean a bit more?
No need to root?
What is mi ui EU rom? I have intl version of the device (Hong Kong). Does this make a difference?
Thanks!

Without unlocking the bootloader, you can't install any custom recovery or custom ROM, just the official Xiaomi releases.
The eu version have less chinese apps and some minor changes compared to the global version. You can check the differences in their website.
Once you have unlocked the bootloader and install twrp, becoming root is pretty easy.

MIUI EU here
en.miui.com/forum-116-1.html

I also use Xiaomi EU. It works great. If you want the UI to look slightly more like a Nexus or Pixel try the "Pixel N" or "Android N" themes.

If you are talking about xiaomi.eu, yes it's different.
It's based on official China ROM and as you can see the release of official Global ROM is lagging behind china rom for both mi5s versions. For example stable for Plus is 8.0.4.0 for Global (I guess just one release) while it's 8.2.2.0 for China.
It's cleaned from Chinese apps, it contains many European languages (including Italian) and gapps.

I'm on 8.0.4.0 of Global Rom and I must admit that this is the first phone which makes me so satisfied. I'm gonna stay close to later products from Xiaomi as long as they keep doing this way. :laugh:

I don-t understand the different ROM-s.
I now have 8.0.4 Global Stable.
It seems tha a 8.2.2 Global Stable should come out since 20 February (but did not come out)
Then there is a 7.3.9 Global Beta released March 10
http://en.miui.com/thread-534687-1-1.html
But why Beta is a LOWER number (7.3.9 to 8.0.2)???????????
Very confusing

4GB is a lot of Ram in my opinion.
Think if you need 64 or 128 of storage in your phonbe, and make your decision based on that.
As far as I know, for my usage (and I am a heavy user) 4GB of RAM is enough nowadays

I am on global ROM. I cannot send MMS picture messages! I have allowed permission in Gallery. Before vthat it said "unable to send as too many unsent multimedia messages", now it says failed after trying to send for a few minutes. Can anyone help. I have been on to my provider, 3 in Ireland and they say all VPN's correct and must be a otobky with the phone. Can someone help me please?

Thanks for trying to help. I have now resolved the problem!. The reason phone was not sending was because of 3G signal only at my home. When I tried in a 4G area not far from my location a picture message flew through. Many thanks re whats app .I use same and there is no difficulty sending pictures on it as I Have good broadband 240 megabytes boosted to almost double that with an Asus rt -87 u router and an Asus AC -66 extender.

[OTA] [STABLE] MIUI 10 for Vince OTA download

OTA Link: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.2.0.OEGMIFH/miui_HM5PlusGlobal_V10.0.2.0.OEGMIFH_dc9f1b974c_8.1.zip
Download, copy to phone and update by going to system updater> 3 dots > Choose local update package > select the rom and update.
PS: On mobile, so can't do much formatting.

I was about to make a thread !
Installed 3h ago, working like a charm. Battery and speed are both miles better than Beta Miui 10 ROMs.
Just remember, this is just the OTA file "From 9.6.5.0 Global Stable to 10.0.2.0 Global Stable", it's not a full ROM.

My Vince is 3GB variant.
I got around 2h 30 minutes of screen on time with 4G data on 20% battery usage. Is this stable one better than that?
I can run 14 stock apps without any reload out of the box after installing MIUI 10 beta 8.9.20... is this stable better than this?

Beta is unfinished software with bugs.
Stable is the finished software with most of the bugs fixed from beta.
Both are not different ROMs, it's the same ROM. Beta is what one calls unfinished software.

Man, I know all these, but at the end of the day it's the user experience which matters. These are not the answers to my questions.
If the unfinished one provides better experience than the finished one then there's no point in installing finished one.
Can you provide the answers to the questions I asked?
Because I'm running beta 8.9.20 if the stable is not better in performance than the Beta, then there's no point for me to flash it.

Can I flash the full ROM with orange recovery with worries of my internal storage getting wiped?
I know my apps will be gone, but my internal will remain untouched? I'm on 8.9.20

Performance is amazing compared to any Miui 10 Beta, and battery is on par with what we had on Stables when the phone came out, between 10 and 12h SOT and very good standby times

Had you flashed custom roms and Android pie before flashing this? I had flashed so my battery percent goes upto 97% only... Though it's not an issue for me.
Performance is amazing like? What's the thing u experienced better, I really want to know, as you have tried it. ?

Yup, i think i tried everything ! Cardinal, AOKP, Pixel Experience, two different Pie GSI ... Went back to stock via Fastboot to be sure Never had the charging issue though
Regarding performance, it's average, but it's consistent and above all smooth as butter, which was not always the case with Betas

My bad luck ? though 3% less battery is not a big issue.
Actually I install around 110apps with dual space feature of island app (like the dual apps) so because of this I always try to install a ROM which support around 14 apps at least in the RAM without reload. Then only at the end of setting up my phone with all the 110apps and island app...I will be sure that the phone can handle at least 6 apps in the RAM without reload according to my need. Like excel, spark, Facebook, Twitter, messenger, chrome. That's why I'm so concerned about performance which I'm asking you. As it takes enough time to setup bro. ?

Well, based on ur comment I tried stable 10.0.2, yes it was smoother than 8.9.20 beta...but not better in performance/ram management. So moved back to beta 8.9.20 ?

Oreo ,
And I cant get this update with OTA. Why ?
I am on 9.6.5.0 global stable

Dumb question here, on another thread says "The Redmi Note 5 (vince) is also known as the Redmi 5 Plus in China. If you own the Redmi 5 Plus, do NOT flash this update if your bootloader is locked otherwise your device will fail to boot because of Xiaomi’s recent restrictions!", i have the Redmi 5 Plus (3/32), i got it from Aliexpress, actually on 9.6.5.0, and i have a locked bootloader, mainly for security reasons ( in fact, for some weird corporate bul**t about the Android bootloaders in my work), so, question, can i install this, or just wait for the "official" OTA.

Yeah, same here.
I'm on 9.6.5.0 and when I check for updates, nothing comes up. Where did this OTA for MIUI 10 come from?
Is it safe to update? Are there any significant enhancements?

Global Vince is also redmi 5 plus. If you have 9.6.5.0 your phone is global so you can install it because this update is for global (not for Chinese version).

Thanks a lot, downloaded, installed, and so far so good, just a little issue with the status bar (oh my oh my, i welcome the change and all of that, but for me it seems just wrong, the 9.6.5.0 status bar look better, but hey it's just me...) For the record, the Xiaomi Downloads Page is a little outdated.

Custom Roms

Considering the Kernel source is already available, how soon could we expect a custom ROM like lineage OS to become available?

Maybe some months
Inviato dal mio MI 6 utilizzando Tapatalk

Is it worth it??
Ive been using this phone with the global one and the only issue I found is the auto brightness. Sometimes the screen is too dark and is not so accurate tbh.
I would like maybe more battery duration but it seems fine (far from my ex phone, a huawei honor play) but in general terms the ROM works pretty good.

so, no kernel sources yet and therefore nobody is working on a custom rom.
are there plans to start so?

i thought it might depend on the sources that some motivated people are going to build a rom. but yeah i definitely willing to wait for it.

Based on the dev work done with it's predecessor mi 8 se, I'd say there is **** all chance of this phone getting custom roms.
It's a pity, I much prefer the smaller size of this phone, but I'm ****ed if I'm going to have a phone stuck running miui

There was no global version neither release for the Mi 8 SE, things are quite different.
We just have to wait for Qualcomm 712 sources to be released, exactly the same as with the 855.

As stated on another thread, there is no point in waiting for a full ROM when device is Treble enabled.
FlokoROM is already working fine on Mi 9 SE, you can download Aonly GSI img from https://treble.andro.plus/ and flash it.
On top of that, it looks like someone is already reworking the kernel using CAF sources.
For some reference and a full ROM list, you can check https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble

Use debloated miui 11. Good roms are MIUI eu 11.0.11 and MiuiMix 11.0.11 (favorite). It's okay with stock kernel but I use agni kernel. Here's a page with many resources for curtana in one place but be careful before installing anything you haven't seen anyone using.
Curtana Premium
Almost forgot... You can use gcam for slightly more detailed photos than miui camera. There are numerous versions. Check out curtana photography in telegram. Personally I only use gcam for raw images. But for quick shots that you won't be doing pixel peeping on, stock camera is enough.

Hello ftriends, I'm a little confused, are all the ROMs on CurtanaGang valid for the international, European version of the phone? I am very interested in this. I have a new Redmi Note 9 pro bought in Romania. Thanks

That website is not known to a lot of people. Roms made for miatoll will work on your phone. Be careful to NEVER install a rom that's made for curtana only.
The roms listed usually have a support or discussion page linked so look for it. Information in the changelogs can also help you decide. Just make sure that you confirm a rom will work on your phone. The installation guide or the rom thread will usually tell which phone the rom is made for. Look for it and post questions there if possible.
Oh! You said you have a new phone... Don't do anything regarding flashing ROMs before you unlock the bootloader.

Thanks again @twistyplain, I know all these steps to unlock ... it doesn't work unlocked. My phone came with MIUI-11 but it was updated to MIUI-12. Probably because the SIM card is not activated on their server (server error ... etc) and is not activated after restart, reset (three times!). Maybe it will work with another SIM card...I'll try it...

I think that's the problem. You must make sure that the sim card to be activated is able to send an international SMS (Mandatory) and it should (maybe) be the active data sim. When you try to activate it make sure you're using mobile data using that Sim card to be safe. Also, try to activate it without another Sim installed.
My primary Sim card activated properly the first time but Sim 2 has never successfully activated. Every time I reboot it tries to activate Sim 2 but always fails. I just wait for it to fail and clear the error message because it affects nothing.

Hi there, so where can i found those?
I'm on the same train, i'm searching a debloated firmware for my new 9 pro.
From what i gather through forums and posts is that the Havoc-OS is the custom firmware+official with the less issues, unless those you mention are better.
I searched both rom subforums but i can't find them.
The closest i find is this which for some weird reason doesn't have as many posts as one could expect Lol

Havoc is AOSP meaning it is based on vanilla Android (not miui). It has a large thread on xda so you can browse that to know about the rom. Official means that it's the one recognized by havoc os developers -- not that it's in any way affiliated with xiaomi. The AOSP rom that most people agree is better than most is Evolution X. However, better than other AOSP roms doesn't mean it's better than miui based ROMs. I always use roms based on stock hence the reason i recommend them. They're generally more stable and require much less effort to get going.
Regarding the source of MiuiMix, you can follow the telegram link in the thread you just posted just under "We follow also other devices, you can know more and update in our telegram channel". I won't repost the link because I'm not sure it's even allowed. When you get there search for your device codename. For instance mine is curtana so i just type #curtana in the search box snd i see a list of the roms released for my device.
Miui eu has a dedicated website so look for it.

Thank you for all the info!
Yeah, i think i will go the same root and use MiuiMix which is a stock based rom, that's why i asked where did you get the ones with miui 11 since i can't find them on sourceforge.(there is only a curtana 11.0.9)
I think i made up my mind and since i have joyeuse i will go with the MiuiMix miui 12 pointed in the thread linked above.

Good choice. Im using it right now. It seems to be a nice rom. Better than eu in ram management. Dark theme has some bugs but I don't use it because it has no energy saving for ips display.

Hi, i'm waiting for official Pixel Experince custom rom for the Redmi note 9 pro (joyeuse), I asked them on their twitter account they told me to wait, you can do the same it will convince them to do

I upgraded to MiuiMix 12.0.2 and it's been perfect for almost three weeks now. I don't use dark mode because it's the only bug i know to exist with this rom. And I can't blame the MiuiMix devs because it's a xiaomi fault.

May I ask if you use wifi calling and if so does it work as well with MiuiMix as it does with Miui ?

I run the MIUI 12.0.2 by xiaomi.eu. It is perfectly stable and everything works. No other ROM could convince me so far. I really love Havoc OS but the comments indicate that there are still a few problems with Joyeuse.

is it better than official miui rom? I like eu rom but I mostly use google apps that's why I haven't moved yet!

i agree with @kennymaster. although i cant wait till the day i can get rid of MIUI, for the time being feel like i should still stick to the stock ROM considering the the issues. Havoc, RR had their share of users but still cant convince myself to jump the ship. little old now for this ROM hopping business maybe

Are their any changes in the last days/weeks? I'm also looking for a good working ROM. Mostly, i want to get rid of MIUI but in first, the most important is to get the most functions working without Bloatware and Ads.

After many years with Xiaomi phones and custom ROM's I have reverted to stock MIUI ROM - debloated with ....
XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar
.... and find it the best compromise for battery life, optimisations, lack of bugs etc etc etc

Yeah thats what i done yesterday after the phone arrived -> i have set it up so minimal like it was possible, then debloated it but got after debloating maximal issues with camera, system freezes and unexpected restarts/shutdowns instead of just kill the mi browser, video and all that stuff

I disbled them first, to test it was stable. After I found it was stable I uninstalled them.

Thank you for the answer mate!

I'm amazed that the situation has not moved on at all since I first got this device over a year ago now I think?
So to be sure, is it still a bit dodgy to even just debloat the device as yet?

Honestly im surprised as well. I bought this phone so early assuming the attention it would get (and i have a track record of pumping out ROMs for my devices but regardless. Im certain there will eventually be bug free builds its the lack of interest and probably with all the other crap going on in the world XDA in general has been kind of slow so on that hand i shouldn't be surprised. Regardless
Il dont mean to come across in a bragging way so excuse me if it comes across like that because i barely consider myself a dev lmao but all my past devices i had dozens of separate threads with at least weekly releases (daily was killing me lol) so i was ready to give our device the same treatment! I just didn't think they were going to raise the specs to what they are now for a PC that can compile the builds

I think that the best Note 9S ROM is the AOSiP port, at least the Curtana version which I am using. I went through four or five of them in a month, starting with Lineage, and had various and sundry issues. Tried going to Resurrection and stuck in a bootloop even. Went to AOSiP and it Just Worked™. Fast and bug free in my experience, too. Rooted with Magisk, extensions to tame the usual (battery life, charging limitation, etc.) and it's my daily driver now.

I'm using Extended, it's a good ROM, stable and with good battery life. It have miui camera and a lot of customisations.
It's my daily ROM.
I tested PE, Havoc, but the best is Extended.

I think its becouse you are trying to open files without third party applications installed. When you trying to open video, for exaple, OS will search the memory to find applications that can open this video, if it does not find it, it opens it via a default application which is MiVideo but it is not there because it has been uninstalled, OS does not know what to do next so it repeats the script and again and again and so on, this is why the phone freezes or resets, so to fix it you need to install e.g. VLC and give it permission when you first time run that app (NOPE for Localization always!xD)
TL;TR: If you remove an application that is pre-installed then you need to install an alternative for that application.
In the picture you can see what's left of the preinstalled apps on my phone (they can't be removed or are not 100% safe to remove or simply I use them) and I've never had freezes and other such problems.
PS: I removed preinstalled Game Turbo its "com.xiaomi.glgm" and I downloaded (apkpure, fdroid, aurora) and installed it manually because I was afraid that the pre-installed one uses cleanmaster which I removed.
PS2: sry for my english

Do I understand correct that no one is posting links to the Roms they us, cause these roms are not on XDA forum?
Than where to look?
Sincerely
Julian

I'm using secret technique called "Google Jutsu It" and I can't tell how to do it. But I can tell you BlissRom looks good too
