Hi, anyone heard anything about Android P beta for MI6 ? Would it be provided as a custom rom before (if) it's available from Xiaomi?
cheers!

Yea probably. I asked because it's officialy available for Xiaomi MI Mix 2s --> not sure as how the Xiaomi ecosystem works - these might be compatible ? https://developer.android.com/preview/devices/
cheers!

Probably Mix2S is Treble enabled by default?

I hope that someone will port the mi2s's beta to our mi6!
I'm starting to feel backward...

Mix 2s has treble so they just used the generic system image of P which had been out for a while.
Basically nothing special for a treble device.
It doesn't seem to boot on our treble port from Nils or Verevka so idk what's different about it.
Eh.
We will probably get LOS P in the future but for now we only just got Oreo and P is way off being a full release.

Having closely watched the LOS development for a year, I think it's gonna take a while for LOS in P to be as stable as current LOS in Oreo. And regression bug can still keep coming, regardless how mature it is.

Hi All,
thanks for your replies and input into this thread. I appreciate it, and hope, we will get some Android P
have a nice day!

Mi Mix2s Android P Beta is not a GSI. It's a specific image for that system. If it was a GSI then would we able to use it already on our Mi6.

I wan't all the goodies available when it comes to the google assistant, my take is, the new assistant features like calling a hair salon will be available on P first.
I also like the suble changes in design that come with each iteration of android.

No it's not a GSI rom, it's device specific P rom for mix 2s

Will Android Oreo (Go Edition) make it to Redmi 1s ?

So today android oreo (go edition) is announced and will start to roll out from 6th dec. 2017.
I would like to ask devs if they are interested to bring it up for armani because most of the roms these days are heavy and it would be really awesome to have it on our device since it is aimed for devices with 512mb to 1gb ram.
Thanks in advanced.
Has any device got Android Go till yet?
BTW it'll totally resurrect our device if that happens. I'm also excited about it.
Edit: Just saw news about Android Go. I hope we also get the taste of it.

I hope there will be a lineage GO version for the redmi 1S.
The present ROM's are too big. The device becomes slakky.
With de GO version maybe the redmi 1S gets a second life.

Try lineage microg ROM or other roms with nanomod go without gapps try fdroid apps as alternatives, it's highly unlikely we get fully working oreo ROM ( camera issue mainly )

Any idea if it gives better performance than CM11?
I hope someone picks it up and delivers it to us can wait as long as it takes. I am all in for Android Go Oreo for Redmi 1S. To bring the much required lag free zing
The ROM is now launched and available in Nokia 1 smartphone. This project is worth going for. Request to devs...

January update

Has anyone received the January update? Or have any indication when we'll receive it?
I think no one recieved that.
But i guess we will get it 2 weeks later
The only way I'm updateing is if it activtes the lte for me besides that I'm on pie.just waiting for a stable twrp or equivalent recovery option
any chance that this will fix the wifi issues with pie on the a2 lite do you think?
e.g. slow wifi when bluetooth is also on.

If you flash via fastboot the aboot.img from the, for example, 9.6.4.0 update, you can use the Oreo TWRP in Pie without any problem but I think that someone in the official TWRP thread has a custom fix for Pie.

Because it's android one phone
The A1 had the January update first because Xiaomi messed up its LTE bands, so they had to prioritize it.
With respect to the pure Android/MIUI controversy, this is an Android One phone, I don't understand why there are so many people asking for a MIUI port. I bought it exactly because it doesn't have any bull**** on top of Android.

Lenovo P2a42 Android Q Update

Hello everybody,
Title says it all, I heard the requirements for flashing an Android Q GSI was increased, does the Lenovo P2a42 still manage to get away with it? It runs Oreo and Pie just fine, with the Treble enabled, but that's about it.
Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-android-q-beta-gsi-project-treble/
The build.prop says my current ROM is running Treble, however the other 2 tests mentioned in the source show false for me, and I'm not sure if I did it wrong, or my current ROM simply didn't support it, or is this phone finally meeting its end? Can it handle Android Q's requirements or is this the end?
Thank you for your time.
You are thinking way too much. Just enjoy the moment and don't stress much dude. When Q is released, we will know it. As long as the devs are interested, everything is possible.
Is there any full supported a/b methodology?

At the moment, Bootleggers 4.3 is the most stable Android 9 ROM for P2. No Android 10 is at its level due to stability issues.

Question Pen on Custom ROMs?

Do you guys think it will be possible to support the pen on custom ROMs? How does that work normally, is it some drivers that need to be installed, or would functionality be at a very low level such that with custom ROMs it wouldn't be possible or...?
By custom ROMs I mean Pixel Experience etc, not the Xiaomi EU MIUI crap.
There isnt any custom ROM for this device
The smart pen nor keyboard cover work with Treble GSI ROMs. The smart pen can be paired to a tablet running GSI, but no response from the tablet's display when using the pen. I'm guessing there is something in the MIUI ROMs for this tablet that allow allow the tablet and pen to work together (may be in all MIUI ROMS).
Hi, it's possible
I was wondering the same thing as well...
Really hope good ROMs are coming soon, the software experience is awful rn

Daily driver for me. I tried PE12 but it was too buggy. Follow instructions to fix sound stutter, Bluetooth and 120 Hz.

No, the pen doesn't work on PE11 GSI or any other GSIs I tried. It's a real shame. Still for me PE11 is much better than MIUI.
Hi
If anyone here is really interested in getting custom ROMs for this tablet, I can try with you guys and hopefully I can get at least TWRP running.
