What to do with a new mi 6 - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

Hello. I just bought an mi 6 and absolutely love it. It's got miui 10 and Android 8.0 installed and it's all up to date. I'm overwhelmed with the possibilities and options for changing and modding the device I don't know where to start.
I wanted to ask what people thought of must do things to tweak, add, mod etc are?
I'm a novice but am capable of rooting and installing custom ROMs and I'll definitely want to install a gcam port at some point.
I'm assuming installing a custom rom will be the go too, just wanted to ask the community what their thoughts were on working with a fresh mi 6 device.
Thanks in advance.

MIUI ROM for my Desire

Hi Folks,
sneaking around all the Forums and Threads about HTC-Desire I came to the conclusion that I urgently need a new ROM on my smartphone. OK, to be honest, it is more-or-less because off this permanent message that my memory is running low.
So I started to gain knowledge about 'root', 'S-Off', 'HBoot', 'Recovery' and all that stuff. It took a while by I managed to 'root' my Desire without any issue.
Bye the way I learned a complete new language and had to jump between several threads to understand all these abbreviations.
Now I struggle with myself as I am not able to decide on which ROM to choose. My favorites are MIUI and Oxygen. But, what confuses me most are the different versions of each ROM. Yes, I read all the threads of most every single ROM but that made the decision not easier.
Is there someone around who can provide some experience with MIUI and/or Oxygen ROMs.
What I really looking for is a nice looking, state-of-the-art, stable and fast ROM as I am not of that kind to flash updates every day.
Did I ever mentioned that my grandchild is laughing at me, so please help me proof that even someone not familiar with all that new stuff will be able to flash a new ROM.
Cheers !!
My suggestion for MIUI is this one:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/archived-miui-versions-desire-gb.16551/
It's stock version from MIUI England, without many modifications. You can also check out on MIUI Germany site.
In my signature you have something I made that's based on CM7 with just a few mods.
I'm using the MIUI ROM too, the response I get is way faster than the stock HTC rom. Although it's a shame that development stopped at GB (I really want the scrollable widget in ICS), but some of the guys here are working on ICS/JB ports, might jump onto one of those when they mature.

Custom Rom wishes?

Hello everybody, I will start building Custom Roms in the next few days.
Which one I'm building I don't know yet, I'll try a few to build.
So be curious and wait for new info
Greetings kevte89
Hi @kevte89. I Would love PixelExperience ported to Mi 8 Pro.
Ideally, I would love to have customisations made to Phhusson's GSI ROM to get the non-working bits for equuleus working. (Fingerprint sensor, VoLTE most importantly). Then other GSI ROM developers would be able to integrate those patches to their ROM to instantly give us a good choice of ROMs.
Maybe that could give you some ideas, but a custom MIUI ROM is probably not what most are looking for.... I'm looking for more stock based ROMs to get away from MIUI.
By the way... did you get started yet and do you need any help testing? You can reach out to me in a PM... I have professional software testing experience that may be of benefit.

Quick question - recommended setup for Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 for smoothest experience?

I'll be receiving my Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 (SM-T900) in a few days and just wanted to know opinions on what ROMs, whether stock or custom, work best with this older hardware? I know it will be coming with KitKat installed, but can be upgraded to Lollipop or further via Custom ROMs.
I don't need anything fancy, just a standard Android experience, with the best performance possible. I've used Android phones for 10 years now and will use Nova Launcher backup with Google backup to easily set it up... I just need to know which ROM to use before I spend the time customizing it.
Thanks!
*Edit: It seems like my main options would be to remain on stock KitKat, update to stock Lollipop, or install what seems to be the most popular custom OS LineageOS 14.1. Just wanting some opinions on what will give me the best performance. It seems like I'll most likely go with the latest LineageOS since it's the most recent ROM supported and not many complaints that it's 'too slow.'

Make own miui rom?

I have a question about this idea.
Xiaomi.eu team dropped support for the Redmi Note 8 Pro due to issues with bricking that can’t be easily recovered from.
But, we now have cfw antibrick system, does anyone know or by any chance have a way to make miui roma based on chinese weekly beta.
On GitHub we have Multilang project to compile inside rom.
Maybe some one know ingbrzy from xiaomi forum, asking him for tree and other advanced stuff which he adds to roms for other types of phones.
I know we have custom roms, but i like stock miui rom.
Any help is welcome, if necessary and someone knows the necessary things for making roma, and does not want to say publicly, he can call me at pm, to make it for myself even if I make a hard brick of my cell phone. :laugh:
cheers.
i have same question , but the real question is , is it worth it? i mean we all left miui for same reason basic things are bad no nav bar ram management doesn't exist on miui stock compared to samsung m31 great stock one ui , and after all custom roms try to give you the pixel feeling which is imo better than any isheep phone out there , i hope if someone is able to do something like that , unofficial miui rom wouldn't be as reliable as official miui 12 and will take effort to port and get it customized for us.

If you see forum with relased miui 12 for not so small list of phones, and very big list of "ROMs features (Whats not in Global)", i think yes. It worth it.
It was the same rom for our model with all those extras, so if it continued, we would have a weekly update, but there were a lot of hard bricks so they gave up on further release.
That's why I asked, now we have a cfw antibrick system so we're safe.

Best kernel / gaming rom note 9 pro curtana

hey guys am a newbie amd little dumb i just bought redmi note 9 pro(curtana) to play genshin impact (was tricked by youtube all videos shows the game playable but for me its laggy af i need ur help picking up the best rom and kernel or just kernel to game (am planning to overclock) checked the corvus rom thread it seems they cut it off and has lots of problems for curtana welp plz
I played a lot of high graphics games on my note 9s curtana and had no problem with stock rom, everything runs smooth. I will try the game you mentioned, but I don't expect lags. Also since you're a newbie as you said, I'd recommend sticking to stock rom and not mess up your device if you don't know what you're doing.

Ye sure why not, I recommend learning what's root, bootloader, fastboot, adb, custom recovery, custom rom etc.. then jump into guides to unlock your bootloader, gain root access, get familiar with that and learn how to make full backup of your rom. After that learn how to flash roms and custom kernels. Step by step, but don't jump into flashing roms and kernels, you may risk bricking your device when you know nothing about fixing it.
