Custom ROM's (overall mods)

Hello! Probably today, ill receive my new phone, mi a2 lite
As i thinking good, this phone have treble support. Bur my questions is: why there is only one custom rom? Im moving grom Alice (Huawei P8 lite) to Daisy, and P8 lite have much more custom roms. Do you have any begginer guide for this phone? (Like best gcam version od sth) ;p

I'm using Havoc OS now. It's very good and comes with notch compatible(gapps)
Go to guides and news tab and you see there how to install gsi roms

Whichever GSI I've installed had major lags, which made it unusable for me. Especially when opening an app from recents. Stock is the most fluid, so I got stuck with it.

Mi A2 Lite supports project treble, so it should be able to boot GSI without any hiccups. But here we are...

before installing twrp or any modification, you have to unlock bootloader (this will erase your data but it's not important you will delete while flashing)

When i heard the 10.0.3.0 is released, i moved to that quickly

I'm in stock rom right now and it is really fast and not laggy

I hated the square UI on stock, so I rooted the phone with Magisk and installed Substratum. Now I'm using Pixel theme on play store it's free and awesome. No more boring colors and ugly square corners. [If you want to install a substratum theme, make sure it supports Pie, otherwise the device will bootloop ]

SIM Card Swap after downgrade from Pie

Hello
First I'd like to apologize if I made thread at the wrong place
A few days ago I tried some custom ROM base on Pie like RR , Arrow, Liquid Remix, MIUI.eu, etc. (I can't remember exactly all of them.)
And then I went back to Oreo stock ROM. But so weird the SIM card now swap from original. (SIM 1 become SIM 2 & SIM 2 become SIM 1.)
I already tried many ways but still no luck until now. (Flash Pie again & downgrade to oreo.)
This also happened to my Mi A2 Lite before & already solved by replace modem.img file in Oreo with same file from Pie when flashing.
Unfortunatelly the method from Mi A2 Lite can't be applied here cause sakura doesn't have modem.img file.
Would be very appreciate If anyone know how to solve this & willing to share here.
Thanks a lot

You have flashed Pie version eu.
That problem wont happen with AOSP based roms like RR, LOS, Viper etc.
Many people lost their VoLTE also. As of now there is no solution(As far as i know). You have to stick with Pie build itself. If you fixed it, let us know.

Even if I flash back again to Pie (MIUI.eu, RR, LOS, also Mi-globe, etc) the problem still exist.
I have tried with other SIM card as well. But nothing fix.
So I guess must wait for next update to get fix. Thanks for the answer.

I'll still stick with android oreo 8.1 till now. If I flash miui android pie 9.0 (maybe u mean android 9 ? ) , I will activate ARB which I avoid it. So I can keep the getvar anti version null.
I already tried to flash the latest firmware from yshalsager but nothing has change. The problem is still exist.
You can try & let me know the result. Good luck.

Nope, don't flash miui9.
Instead,there is a file named "daisy_modemfix" in mi a2 lite forum.. flashing that via twrp fixed that problem ?

Yeah I know that... What I mean to say is. Most of the people download official ROM package from official website and try to flash update using custom recovery and this will cause mobile brick..
That's why Xiaomi suggest not to downgrade to Oreo after android pie update (miui android pie)

No it's a problem, even if you flashed firmware-less most of the functions won't work, at least that's what happened with me, no camera, no earpiece, no vibration and ofc more under the hood.
We're stuck on pie and even the custom ROMs need to be updated to the new vendor because the situation is the same.
Pie is so far so good but I'm surprised that exFAT isn't working!! now my sdcard is useless! i checked and the module is missing which is exfat.ko, don't know if they forgot to add it or what now!! also all the recoveries i tried give a problem with data and encryption so it need to be updated, other than that all is good.

Anyone tried latest xiaomi.eu build 9.3.25?

TBH I didn't try because of the problems I heard people were having. But with the original pie update I had to use orange fox recovery just to get out of encryption it was a mess. I am going to try to flash a pie rom but if you are flashing an Oreo MIUI make sure the firmware folder is not in the zip or you will brick your device.

Agreed. This seems a bit strange for me. Are you sure guys you cant simply go back to Oreo?
As long as anti is fine, it should not be a problem. Maybe there is a new mechanism now which we dont know.

I've Installed China and Global Pie then reflashed 10.2.2 without problems with MiFlash, haven't tried with custom recovery, i think you will not have problems.

Guess I will hold off MIUI Pie until its finalized.

Yes you can do anything if the anti version is same..
But Xiaomi recommends not to downgrade to Oreo after android pie update. (There won't be any problem as long as we use MiFlash tool)
Maybe Xiaomi will introduce new anti version for stable android pie update
Here http://en.miui.com/thread-6004916-1-1.html you can read moderator suggests not to flash Oreo ROM after updating to android pie.
Maybe Xiaomi moderator mentions same thing for our device during public beta release

For those stuck on the new miui pie, a possible solution:

Proper way to downgrading

What is the proper and right way to downgrade from pie to oreo without facing the sim and video recording problem and some other problem that i'm unaware of?

Dear Secondkai,
Greetings !
1st Remember One Thing. Downgrading Is Not A Easy Task. If You Want To Downgrade Your Device From Pie To Oreo, You Need To Unlock The Boot-Loader Then Download Stock Oreo And Flash It With The Help Of IMFlash Tool.
But I Suggest You Double Check And Read Each An Every Steps Two Times Before Downgrade.
Please Refer To Mentioned Below Link...

If you flash Pie modem.img, you'll have video recording issue; if you don't flash it you'll have SIM card slots swapping issue. I just flashed Oreo over Pie (via MiFlash) and it's working good (I don't use 2 SIMs though)

I have the 9.6.11.0 too, latest Oreo. I have 2 bugs so far: SIM cards are swapped (not sure if 2nd SIM works, didn't try) and storage in settings shows I have 30 something GB of apps installed which I don't, but this doesn't affect usage at all.

GSI on MI10T ?

Hello,
Has anyone tried installing a GSI rom on MI10T?
I'm interested in getting feedback and if it works for you.
Thanks

Tried and failed. Don't know what I did wrong and I'm pretty new to this stuff so don't have that much experience. I'm sure it's possible.

TWRP for this phone doesn't support installing GSI, I bricked my phone because of it

If you tried ab that's probably why you failed - ab has different partition layout than aonly which is this device... Somebody should try aonly gsi and check...

Can you install system gsi? Because there is only a super partition in TWRP.
