3d Touch on custom rom - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Simple question
Does exist a custom rom which supports 3d Touch in Our mi5s?

Pixel Experience, [OREO][MI5s]Project Treble for capricorn + GSI [AOSP 8.1] and maybe LineageOS 15.1

Not all mi5s support 3d touch, only ones with sharp brand display. However lineage does have similar 3d touch features for Google apps

ROM Request

Requesting the Developers to port the YUN OS to MI MAX, which is amazing.
Looks similar to MIUI but have smooth interface and new features
Prior to Mi Max, I used it as a daily driver on my Redmi Note 4G

Android One Port from Mi A1 for Mi 5s

Hi guy's,
I love Stock Android and the current design (API and UI) of pixel smartphones - since Google has really done a lot of work with a lot of style in it.
My Generations: I came from HTC HD2 (Android, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone 7, Ubuntu Touch ect.)... next smartphone was the Galaxy S3 LTE (I flash the official Google Play Edition with a must for change the IMEI ect.), next was the HTC One M8 also converted to a GPE and my before last smarthphone was the Mi 4 LTE (with Windows Phone 10). Always the good alternative to the smartphone interested me. Now it interests me whether someone of you the bother and work dare to build this ROM (http://en.miui.com/thread-825694-1-1.html). The Nexus Experience: http://www.nxrom.us/mi5s.html
This seems to me to be somewhat too imprecise and has not the perfection that Project brings with it. Simply it is not a pureness Pixel/Nexus-feeling (the live wallpaper did not run, the Download Manager is missing, the setting menu is not 100% original etc. It lot is missing here and there) ...
I would like to help, because for me the build up of ROM's when it comes to the interface/UI and a bit around compiling the API, is an easiness for me (-
I would look forward to like-minded and teamwork. The whole thing should simply be a pleasure for the general public and be financed without money, even to learn about it :highfive:
I have a 5s with unlocked bootloader, installed Ressurection Remix 7.1.2 together with Nova Launcher (to enabled gestures) and Pixel camera port.
If you take away the amoled display og the Pixel, the Xiaomi 5s basically is a Pixel spec'ed phone for 1/3 of the price. If you want even more stock android feeling then go for LinageOS?

I really do not understand who would even buy Mi A1 which is in same price range as Mi 5s... Mi 5s have better hardware on first place, than even if you need stock rom, there is always LOS which is official for Mi 5s. I rest my case...
Guy's I mean the Pure Pixel Experience, everyone here who have a Stock Pixel with Oreo or Nougat in his hands? My friend have a Pixel, he work hard to get this phone but I do not agree to spend much money, only to own a Stock Clean Rom although it is cheaper. You can't compare the Nexus Experience Rom (I link in my last post above) and also LOS or any other ROM not with the original Pixel Rom. It must nevertheless be possible to build a Clone for the Mi 5s like the Mi 5 (see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/rom-pure-nexus-t3578407).
I will ask the developer there, if he with help of me and other users from XDA to build a clean ROM. Still thank you for giving me suggestions, I really appreciate your time!
Have a nice day -cheers
I'm using opengapps to bring pixel launcher, assistant, and whatever google facility on it, but remember that none can clone pixel exactly the same. In case you won't get unlimited original sized photo backup, only real google pixel has it.
If you want pixel like experience you can flash LOS or whatever pure aosp then flash open gapps. You can adjust which to install or remove stock los apps using gapps config, go to opengapps wiki for it.
I mean the System UI and Settings don't look or have the same features egg., example the most AOSP Rom's for Mi 5s don't have Ambient Display Settings or Reading/Night Mode. Also the Google Live Wallpaper are not working and not included in the current GApps. The Rom's missing apps, for example the wallpaperpicker.apk ect.
Okay I must build my own Pixel Experience to get nearly a perfect Copy/Clone of an Pixel /XL. But yes, I will try my best to get a better Experience Rom and share my TWRP Backup here on XDA. Included Magisk and some Kernel Tweaks. The last Time I get a big battery drain with the current Nexus Experience Rom cauz I have enabled the Fingerprint Scan-Fix for Xiaomi Mi 5s (search on XDA for it). I find out that the 4 Cores working eveytime but with the current Miui 9 Rom on Idle, two of the four Cores from SD821 sleeping and the other 2 runs with 300-500 Mhz. That's a nice Kernel Management in Idle State and I tweak it

Zuk z2 plus!
This phone has a pretty good camera, UIis crap for stock but sexy on custom ROMs
Sent from my ZUK Z2 Plus using XDA Labs
I haven't own or used or even ever seen a Mi 5 Prime.
I have owned / used (rather using) Mi Note 5 Pro, Mi Note 4 and I have seen hands on (friends and family) Mi A1, Mi 4A / 5A and Note 5. I am also using Zuk Z2 Plus.
Now based on this experience and judging from above mentioned Xiaomi devices, I would chose Mi 5 over Z2 Plus. Reasons ?
Better Camera, since Mi 5 seems to be having 16MK with OIS. OIS does make a hell lot of difference.
Certified support for QC 3.0. Though Z2 Plus does support QC but that's via Custom ROM and an uncharted trial and error territory.
MiUi. Personally I hate it, but I can't deny the frequency of update Xiaomi has. Always uptodate security patches plus they update even their 5 year old devices to latest android version, not just security patches !!
Support for Custom ROM. Though both ZUK and Xiaomi are in same place here, for their wide range of custom rom, but combined with above mentioned points, Mi5 would be my choice !!

its 3/64g only. I'm having hard time with MIUI and I can't even apply for an unlock for my device.
That's why im looking at the ZUK Z2.

This is a different issue. Your personal issue with Mi 5 Prime which you already have. But as device wise, I would prefer Mi 5 Prime over Z2 Plus as in overall.
MiUi is full of ads, yes some bugs, but at least they are on steroid with their update cycle I see. My note 5 pro isn't yet a week old, got 10GB update lol. Started with 9.5.x, did, 9.5.11/.13/.14/.15 and now doing 9.2.6. Compare that to Z2 Plus, released with Android 6.0, got one update to nougat, ZUI 2.5 and there it stopped. No patch, no nothing.
If we compare bugs, MiUi is no where close to what ZUI 2.5 had for us.

I'm about to buy this device - is it fully compatible with AOSP roms?

Hello. This might sound like a silly question, but does the device work well when changing ROMs, for example from the default MIUI ones to AOSP?
I'm asking because I've had an LG phone for a very long time, and for example, when it ran AOSP, the camera quality was terrible compared to stock LG roms because LG didn't release the drivers... The sound works differently too, with AOSP the quality is lower.
So does something like this happen with this phone? Anything else I should be aware of while buying this device? I tend to keep my phones for a very long time so I'd like it to be future proof.
Is it possible to flash unofficial MIUI releases, like 3 years from now when Xiaomi doesn't support it anymore? Or is AOSP the only option by then?
Thanks in advance.
Yes Xiaomi Officially Releases its kernel sources for developer.......so custom/Aosp Rom support is great....and you can use miui camera on aosp rom....so camera quality is also great on aosp rom....but i am not satisfied with the gpu performance of redmi note 5(you can get better performance with Old Mi5 or New Mi A2/6x and mi8se).....if you can increase budget go for poco phone f1......But about your query ASOP rom Has Same/Better support in as MiUi rom in every aspect on all mentioned Xiaomi phone along with note 5.....and Xiaomi provide official miui 10 support to old device like remi note 3 so you can trust.
You can flash modded stock roms like Miuipro, Masik, Miui.eu, etc...
Algo You can check the development section for AOSP based roms
The phone in general is great the best gamma media for me so far
But keep in mind that it takes 30 days to unlock the bootloader. So, you'll be stuck with the stock Rom for a month.

K20pro vs Zenphone 6

Narrowed down to these 2 phones due to their own pros and cons, which you feel is better especially camera wise?
Better camera
hi,
If you want a overall better phone it will be Asus zenfone 6.
Pros: More Unique design
Stockish UI
Much better rear camera
Since the camera is the same as rear it has the best front camera
Expandable storage
NFC
More custom rom support
Notification LED
FM radio
Bigger Battery
Cons:
LCD screen over Amoled
Bulky
Industrial or Ordinary design

How? I thought Xiaomi phones have better support due to being more common.
Custom Roms
HI,
There is already a Lineage os 16 rom for Asus 6Z. It is coming with Stockish Android and last one month Asus %z got around 7 to 8 new roms.
Asus zenfone 6 has band 20, the global version, so should fully work in the UK. K20 pro lacks this. This a major reason I can't buy the k20
