Custom Roms - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

Would any developer be kind enough to make a Resurrection Remix Rom for this phone

Their GSI/Treble ROM works pretty well with this phone, apparently.
A "proper" ROM or two would be nice though.

First we would need a working TWRP.

That would certainly be helpful. ?

You do not need TWRP to install GSI ROMs.
For Backups I use Titanium Backup and MyPhoneExplorer (to snyc adoptable storage)

I know that no TWRP is needed for GSI roms, but for device specific roms a working TWRP would be quite useful, especially for developers.

Has anyone tried DirtyUnicorns?

Seems that there are DU builds for the HTC 10 (pme). Here: https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/pme/
Has anyone tried them? If yes, what are your impressions? :laugh:

It is AOSP based compared to LOS (CM) which the majority of the ROMs posted are.
DU is a great ROM. I found that it lacked some important features that I like, but a very solid ROM.
Yes i tried on Sprint but there was no data...even after entering the apn in

Encryption was not working, even with a full data format prior to flashing.
Any other opinions?
I have been running the weekly and official builds with nebula eas kernel for about 5 weeks or so. I personally feel its the best non-sense based ROM for my usage. It does lack some customisations most others have but makes up for it by being super stable, fast, battery friendly and just works as its supposed to with bull. I use superSU, substratum and A.R.I.S.E audio mod with selinux permissive without dramas.

Does it come with root or Magisk out of the box?
To reverse the question, can I use it as clean Android without root, passing SafetyNet? Thanks!

It comes WITHOUT root. So you can choose your preffered method or no root at all.
I don't know about safetynet as I am not using android pay or anything that relies on it to pass.
Also I have not had any encryption issues as someone earlier replied

What firmware and TWRP Version are you using with it ? With the Nougat firmware and latest TWRP, I get the encryption issue..

401.4 FW and 3.1.0 TWRP. What kind of encryption issue? I did have once only rebooted into recovery and it asked for the password but I just rebooted in recovery from TWRP and it never happened again.

I've tried several combinations, with older/latest firmware.
Every time, It would ask for the encryption password on bootup.
Even if I haven't set one up.. With data format prior to installing
Anyway, got sick of re-setting apps on my phone, just installed Maximus HD ROM, and that's that ?

The 4-8-17 build is Android 7.1.2 and so far it is running really well. I am surprised that there​ is not a thread in the ROM section for DU.

I think it was the DU team's decision to close all and not allow any XDA threads. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
No idea why though.

A quick question.
What variant , firmware and TWRP are you using?
Everytime I try that rom..it encrypts itself with an unknown password, and upon restart I'm unable to access my phone

I have had that happen when switching from a sense based ROM to LOS or AOSP and it's a "pita"... Anything that I want to keep gets moved to my SD card before I reboot to recovery.
I read through several threads and tried several possible solutions so I can't remember exactly which one worked.
I am currently on Verizon, official Nougat with the flashed us unlocked "patch", TWRP 3.1.0-1. If you are on Verizon or Sprint you need to patch the image with a missing image that is found in the us unlocked model (there are threads discussing it where you can find the file).

It was not related to the data partition.

There is a DU Oreo-based build for the HTC 10: https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/?device=pme
For the time being it is under "RC". Downloading now, will report back!
Edit: ROM is very nice and is flying by. Only downside is that camera app is VERY slow... Also, woofer is not working (as expected).
What I like the most is that it is AOSP, i.e. no LineageOS stuff like AudioFX, etc. Customisation features are nice and the experience is close to Pixel with Stock OpenGapps. If the camera app is fixed, then this would be perfect (I believe it will, since this is the first RC release)!
Further notes: Capacitive buttons backlight is off by default (can't find any standard option to turn on, maybe with a kernel tool?) and notification LED does not work either. Don't mind for the capacitive buttons too much, but the LED is a real problem.

If you check in the guides section you will see project treble GSI's are already up and running. What more do you want there buddy?

So project treble was an approach made by Google to make updates faster.
GSI stands for generic system image.
That means if you go to the guised and look at the project treble GSI thread, you will find room images that work on all phones that support project treble. In other words GSIs should work on all phones that support treble. Go and check it out. There are some GSI you can install.
Also project treble will make it much easier to update the phone and make custom rooms and also make them fully compatible.

Got it, that makes sense thank you. Do these GSI have the same features as a traditional custom rom? I.e. ui customization, call blocking, etc.

They do. Same as the rom when it was meant for specific models. All those features are in the system, the GSI's just use the vendor partition from the stock so hardware works right. Try them out if you are interested.

Does anyone know if Magisk v16 supports installing in dualboot patcher? I want to have two magisk rooted rooms at once. I do this right now on my v20 but my second room (lineage os) is running sipersu. Just wanted to know. Is there a way to get it to work because as far as I know magisk is not compatible with dual booting.

Dual boot patcher is not supported for this device at this time. How ever you can dual GSI with Treble support. One on slot a, and one on slot b. There is a thread about GSIs in the Razer Forum already. I suggest you read thru all of that and the Project Treble GSI forums.
You can't dual boot treble, well technically you can if you want to run the same rom on each slot. Because it is only using one data partition that each rom encryepts. If you can set the key or stop force encryption it would work. Anyone know a way to do that?

That has not worked for me, and if you wiped or reformatted with twrp you will probably hang on boot animation.
You should do it with platform tools until the devs get GSI perfected. IMO A/B and GSI treble are still new and need work.

Fix Portrait Mode On Custom Roms

Hello Developers,
If any developer is reading this thread, I request you people to find a way to run Portrait Mode In Camera in Custom Roms.
Though it works on Stock Emui but this is the only feature lacking in roms.
Full camera features aren't available in Roms, Portrait Mode, Aperture Mode crashes or doens't work at all !
Please find a fix for that,. It will be really helpful. So many people are waiting for this.
Thanks?
Yup facing the same prob here, trying some GSIs still fail..

Is anyone there doing or thinking about making the Resurrection Remix Oreo ROM?

I think this ROM is good for games! (Wrong forum)
there are very less developers for this device, and most of them are more focussed on bringing Pie to Montana first. so i don't think we'll have more Oreo roms. there is RR Nougat available though.

the miui system is different, it is not only a compilation, it is necessary to modify the kernel and some more files, it is a different system, which means that you need a good developer to compile the rom.

Depends on what your needs/wants are. I'm rocking crDroid 8 and it's awesome! It's great for mimicking the Pixel UI.
Don't do it for this device. ROMs fail for OP9p. Too many bugs. TWRP can only run on OOS11. I would use another phone more user friendly towards TWRP and Magisk.

you do not need TWRP...
also he already seems to have this phone, so this comment is quite useless.
also the oxygenOS has more bugs than the custom roms.
I use Derpfest as a daily driver and I have no issues at all.
+1 for Derpfest!
