Hi, please help me. Is there any chance to install MIUI 9 ROM on Mi A2 Lite? I can't find the official ROM for that phone. I found only Android One version ROM pack. I wanna buy this phone, I really like the design ect. but I don't like this whole Android One idea (I don't care about earlier updates), I don't like the interface, the icons. I prefer MIUI system overlay. Where can I find it?
Buy a MIUI device. There are plenty of them.

It is called Redmi 6 Pro, it's the Mi A2 Lite with MIUI (but without LTE 800 MHz frequency).
I know but that's not the answer, besides I have Redmi Note 4 already and I want A2 Lite not different model.

You thought wrong. That's the normal ROM with Android One.

useless the for large amount of people so thats not a solution to the posters question
I'm not sure why anyone would prefer a MIUI device over Android one, but seems to be that by making two versions Xiaomi is giving us plenty of options.. (not to mention adding more devices to their already convoluted line up). Depending on the 4G coverage with your provider/country not having band 20 might not even be a big deal.
Not every country has Redmi 6 Pro available...
since it's only for China Region (CMIIW)
and Mi A2 Lite is "more Global" with vanilla OS
me too want a MIUI OS over Mi A2 Lite due to MIUI's feature (such as, hide notch, hide nav-bar and using full swipe gesture, etc..)
any idea to flash MIUI over MiA2 Lite?
or can we just flash Redmi 6 Pro's ROM over MiA2 Lite device? is it compatible (it should be, due to the same hardware spec, CMIIW again)
It is not possible to flash Redmi 6 Pro (sakura) ROM on Mi A2 Lite (daisy).
A slight chance to do so could be by flashing it in EDL mode, but even if I get EDL permission from Xiaomi, I won't take that risk.
The only safe way is to wait some developer that ports sakura ROM to daisy. It could be even easier if a MIUI treble ROM exists (I don't know if it exists, as I dislike MIUI).
What is this?

No, it's the general Xiaomi versioning system, and it is used in all their phones, those with MIUI and those with AndroidOne.
And that's an AndroidOne ROM, because it's installed it in my phone right now and I can't see any MIUI.

Then we are doomed. Android One is not for everyone, does not have many options compared with MIUI.
I own both a chinese import redmi 6 pro and a mi a2 lite from a local supplier.
I am sure the A2 lite will become more interesting than the 6 pro as soon as some devs are taking care of it by providing custom roms.
But for the moment the miui 10 dev roms from miglobe and co. offer a much better experience on the 6 pro device than the android one on the mi a2 lite builds.
I don't care a lot for the missing band support as I owned the redmi 4 pro before and never experienced receptions or speed problems.
i am looking forward to see some nice custom roms for the a2 lite.
Regards,
Dom
Any one got an idea about it?
The redmi 6 pro is a treble device too, that means, normally you should be able to extract system.img and flash it via fastboot.
In that case it doesn´t matter wheather the partition scheme is different!
You could give it a try. If it´s not working, you can flash back stock system via miflash (select flash and keep data)
Do we have brave ones to try? ?

I tried to do as it is written here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/miui-10-install-guide-t3844729, but in our firmware did not find similar files to replace * abl.elf
* prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf
* prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf
mi flash the error, then I replaced prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn and the download ok, but after installation I caught the bootlap, and returned to the stock through the test point. if anyone can figure out what files need to be replaced in firmware 6 pro, then it is possible to run miui.
Sorry for my English
Last time i checked, ( 10 minutes before posting this), The specs for Mi A2 Lite and Redmi 6 pro are totally the same, except the network bands. We can even assume that Redmi 6 pro is just rebranded version of Mi A2 Lite for India (and some other countries where they are being sold, if any). So, is it at all possible to flash that Android one directly into Redmi 6 pro, or do we need to make some modifications to the package.
Another short question...(as am a newbie and i would like the community to push my knowledge limit a little further). Is it at all possible to flash android one on to any other phone, whatever the specs maybe(same and different).
Edit - I found some interesting facts - Mi A2 Lite is indeed the Global version of Redmi 6 pro
- Redmi 6 pro uses a classic partitioning system while A2 lite uses the A/B system. So direct flashing the stock android one rom will brick it.
New questions - is there any ways to change the partition system from one to the other?
is there some way, we 'stock rom' lust hounds get a hand on it using this 6 pro?
And did you think about the notch?
Mi a2 rom
Did it work
Jay: Did you try A2 or A2 Lite?

Basically you can't flash Android one version of daisy on sakura. You can port android one for sakura or install a previous one which is ported and almost works fine.

Hey! I've been thinking the same thing, and I've tinkered around the fastboot stock images for both the A2 Lite and the 6 Pro. The stock image for Daisy contains a img named "partition" and I think this is what makes the A/B partition in the phone. I haven't tried it, But I'm think of doing it. editing all the flash_all.sh files in the Android One ROM from the A2 Lite, i.e replacing all codename "daisy" with "sakura" so it doesn't throw a invalid device error. I'll update

how were you able to flash the android one rom i also want to put it on my redmi 6 pro
I currently have a redmi note 5 pro, which has the official Miui rom via OTA , I am thinking of buying the Mi Max 3, but before I buy I am just wanting to know if it has had an official Miui rom update?
Not yet. Mid October. I think so.
Thank you for your the reply, is the current ROM Oreo Android 8.1 ?
The current global rom is already Android 8.1 Oreo but the version of the MIUI is the 9.
We need to wait for the update.
There is only a leaked recovery roms of global v9.6.4.0 and v9.6.6.0 available for download from xiaomi servers but they are useless for those with chinese devices, we need to wait for the fastboot version to become available.
Some official global devices come with v9.6.6.0 preinstalled while some other with v9.6.7.0
I had a mi 5x device, In this device we can change the firmware from mi 5x to A1 and install any A1 roms. for example :
If you plan to use Android One/Pie rom on the 5X, you should flash A1 firmware.
If you come back from Android One/Pie to MIUI, you should flash 5X firmware.
mi5x and A1 are very similar like A2 lite and Redmi 6 pro. Now I have a question, Can install Redmi 6 pro Firmware on A2-lite devices and flash any Redmi6 pro Roms?

Due to shared vendor properties eventually you can but you would need to modify/patch some files in order to do it, like for example; elf_path, firehose programmer that are responsible to manage the flash process and otherwise won´t allow you to run.
