is android 10 god enough to update from android 9 yet? - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello, I have been running a rooted mi a2 lite 10.0.9 for a while. I'm wondering if android 10 on mi a2 lite is good enough to upgrade to after months of its release. My current set up flashes a black screen from time to time when im in video calls in whatsapp or snapchat. I want to be stock, if i choose to upgrade i will keep the device stock(no root, no magisk, no custom kernel) , but ive heard so many problems with Android 10 that im not sure if its worth it.

There are still a tone of bugs and stability issues to be fixed, you can find more info here and here, I kinda' gave up on this device and don't use it as "smart" anymore. The problem is that most of those bugs are day1 bugs (for those who could update and didn't end up bricked). 10.0.9 isn't september update? I suggest you install the latest January Android9 patch and wait... I decided to be part of the Android 10 test and report bugs as fast as I can, so we can have them fixed... but it seems we're 6 months into Android 10 and nothing good came to this device.

When Android 10 custom rom will landed on Mix 3 ?

Anyone working on it ? I'm happy to test it
Waiting so long since AOSP is officially announced, and seeing other phone like Mix 2/2s Mi8 already got a custom rom made me sad
Those devices (most of them) have Beta ROMs from Xiaomi with updated drivers. That's why they have full 10 ROMs.
Sent from my Mi MIX 3 using Tapatalk
People are working on it, be patient.
Xiaomi released a timeline for MIUI 11 beta and global ROMs which can be found here.
TLDR; The Chinese beta ROM should be rolling out to the Mix 3 starting Sept 27th. The global ROM should be rolling out mid-October.

Awe man. Thanks for the info! How is it?
So..if our device has been confirmed to get Android 10, and MIUI 11 will still stick to Pie...when we will get it? When Android 11 will be avaible? Just saying..
Its simple. First we will get MIUI 11 based on Pie, later we will get update to newer Android still with MIUI 11.

MIUI's naming convention doesn't necessarily align with Android's. Hence why some devices running MIUI 11 are based off Pie while others are based off Android 10. Xiaomi will probably update MIUI 11 to Android 10 in future updates for the devices which aren't already.

I knew about MIUI acting differently from EMUI. But not updating OS makes almost no sense, because Mix 3 is a device with one year of life. Should have priority in major updates or am i wrong? Anyway, i think it should get at least 2 majors when time will come. Thanks for the answer
it's out with .eu rom ^^. Very smooth. Nice looking.
Did you wipe data before flashing it?, I flashed ir right away without knowing it was android 10 based and it is glitched as hell, with apps crashing and such.
Dirty flash

Bug I found :
assistant don't work with the ai button.

I just updated from MIUI 10.3.2.0 global stable (android 9) to MIUI 11.1 Xiaomi.eu weekly beta (9.12.12 based on android 10) without any issues. I was rooted with TWRP installed on 10.3.2.0, here's what I did (this will wipe all your data so make backups beforehand):
Put Xiaomi.eu 9.12.12 on a USB-C flash drive (not necessary but a little easier than transferring it via cable)
Booted to TWRP
Wipe > Factory reset
Wipe > Format data (then typed 'yes' to confirm)
Wiped dalvik & cache
Went back to reboot options > booted to TWRP (recovery) again
Flashed 9.12.12 zip from flash drive
Wiped dalvik & cache
Booted to system. No app crashes or lag or anything
Also you can downgrade from the Xiaomi.eu android 10 ROMs. It's not super clear whether the Mix 3 has active anti-rollback or not (some sources say yes but plenty of people have been able to go back and forth without issue with an unlocked bootloader). I checked the ARB versions just to be safe and for 10.3.2.0 and 11.1 they are both 2 so there should be no issue downgrading with an unlocked bootloader.
Devs are waiting for this:

It is release now so we can expect android 10 custom rom soon.

Unfortunately the kernel they are referencing has to be for the 5G Mix 3. The perseus still only has a pie branch. I know a lot of people have been working on this, myself included. I got something to compile the other night, however it does not boot. I know there are smarter people than me working on this and I know how long it took to build a tree (with full kernel source) for the LG G3 when I was working on that device.
Edit: so poking around for the first time not on my phone, I found this: https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/dipper-q-oss
That tree is now tagged like it's for many devices - I think a n00b made that commit, cause that makes NO SENSE AT ALL.

Update from MIUI 12.0.8 Stable to 12.0.1?

Dear Mi 10T lite community,
I am new to Xiaomi, originally coming from a OnePlus phone.
This is a Mi 10T lite phone bought in Germany from a German carrier.
Even before installing my personal data and apps, I had updated to the latest global version 12.0.8.0 of the Xiaomi stock ROM.
Today I get the notification, that the second (first after real install) update is available and my phone wants up UPDATE from 12.0.8 to 12.0.1 !?!?
What kind of update is this. The version number is being reduced?
The patch level is said to increase from January 2021 to February 2021, which sounds okay.
The current ROM (12.0.8) is Android 10 based. The new ROM (12.0.1) claims to be "Stable MIUI based on Android 11". Is this the upgrade to Android 11? I thought the Update to Android 11 will be with MIUI 12.5 in summer!?
Would you advise to upgrade this stock ROM? -- For me this sounds strange. On OnePlus I have always relied on the ROM upgrades. What about this?
Thank you for any advise in advance!
Best regards
Ethan

If you notice that the update ROM has R instead of Q in the string *JSEUXM that denotes next update - R follows Q. The numbering is for Miui version 12 and the iteration .0.1 means it's the first one in this R cycle.
And it is android 11. Going to install it myself - if it's now out of beta and ota'ing

Hello Gazblade,
thank you very much. This is quite interesting. I had only looked at the "human readable" part of the version number, not at the "machine readable" part.
You are right. This is an update from QJSEUXM to RJSEUXM and thus it should be a new version. It is good to learn the "Xiaomi-style".
Nevertheless it should NOT mean, that their GUI, MIUI is downgraded to an earlier version from 12.0.8 to 12.0.1. This is intriguing.
Obviously the third digit of the MIUI version number has nothing to do with respect to the currentness of Xiaomi's GUI software. Right?
Also the text "based on Android 11" is at least misleading.
Nevertheless, based on your feedback, I will try the update later.
Have a great day!
Best regards
Ethan
Just a note for "Based on Android 11" - it is important because you can have MIUI 12 based on Android 9 or Android 10 or Android 11. Most of the features will be shared among different Android versions, with some exceptions (or freshly introduced underlaying Android bugs/design changes).

I am not sure whether I got the point. Xiaomi had offered "MIUI 12.0 based on Android 11" for my Android 10 phone and this upgrade MIUI 12.0 is still using (or based on) Android 10.
Android 11 will come with MIUI 12.5 Right?
Thus does this "based on" read "has been compiled with Android 11"? Or "Is running on Android 11 and older"?
I had planned to install the update tonight, but in the meantime the OTA update disappeared again and is no longer found by the Xiaomi updater! What a strange policy.
Has the "R" version been withdrawn and is back to beta status?
With my old OnePlus updates were pretty straight-forward. I do not understand the Xiaomi update policy until now...

MIUI is only skin (albeit quite heavy) on the top of Android. Xiaomi decided to offer the same MIUI version on top of more than one Android version. So our phone came with MIUI 12 + Android 10 and now it's being upgraded to MIUI 12 + Android 11. Next major upgrade will be MIUI 12.5 + Android 11. But it's possible that Xiaomi will offer also MIUI 12.5 + Android 10 for other (older) phone models..
It can be a bit confusing, but you don't need to stress too much about it.
The Update to 12.0.1.0 RJSEUXM is back and I have downloaded the OTA update already. Currently I am charging my phone before applying the update. -- Be safe. At least on the battery.
Did anybody already apply this update to Android 11?
There are so many rumors about problems with this update, but there are not many clear facts.
Would you recommend adopting to Android 11 already now or wait for MIUI 12.5?

I will put it this way. For every bigger Android update there are a bunch of people who hate it and they will make a lot of noise on forums. They don't like some design changes or cosmetic bugs. Most people are not bothered by them or they barely notice them. Of course that there is always a chance of serious bugs, but problematic updates are usually pulled down quickly and the information is often covered in articles (on XDA or similar pages). There is no known serious bug in this update and it's considered as a safe update. I am very sure that MIUI 12.5 update will be "the worst update in the history of all updates" for some people (like it was with MIUI 12 or MIUI 11; or Android 11 or Android 10 etc.)..
I updated one or two weeks ago and except already mentioned misaligned (but still functional) text in notifications I haven't noticed anything worth mentioning. I personally recommend the update, but as always, YMMV..

I have just updated to 12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM. My Mi 10T lite is now running Android 11 absolutely flawlessly. Good recommendation! And probably a very correct explanation in your message above.
Could someone upload and share the MiQT Lite XQCN file (EEA or Global)? I need this file to test some things on my 9 Pro 5G.

Bugs Xiaomi.eu Miui 12 Android 11 version on global version of redmi note 9s

I strongly advice anybody to not update their redmi note 9s Curtana to the latest Xiaomi.EU version of Miui 12 based on Android 11.
I had several, quite nerve wrenching bugs even though I clean flashed.
-telephone: I could not be heard and the other side could not be heard on the phone. I guess this had something to do with root with magisk as I tried out my phone after flashing the update and it worked, but after having set up the phone with all apps and root, the said problem arose
- picture in picture mode got extremely buggy and the overlay sometimes hid the video box and made the whole screen unresponsive
- the phone feels quite slow
I downgraded to the last Miui 12 version based on Android 10 and all is fine again.
As I said if these things above are things you'd need often on your phone I'd suggest you not to update.
My phone is joyeuse global rn9pro and Im in the same boat.
How exactly did you downgrade without loss of data?

POCO M2 Pro MIUI 12.5?

My POCO M2 Pro (6+64 GB) is still running MIUI 12.0.4.0 (QJPINXM) stable based on Android 10. It keeps saying there are no updates available but I'm pretty sure it has the requisite hardware to run Android 12, plus some sites are saying it has received the 12.5 stable based on Android 11 ROM already. I have even downloaded a MIUI 12.5 ROM (at least that's what it says) from some shady website but it keeps telling me "Update to this stable version is not allowed".
Anyone else facing the same problem? Got any solutions?

Ridiculous how Xiaomi ignores these phones just because "they're budget devices". The M2 has such good hardware.

Yes i agree but as usual xiaomi being xiaomi we can't expect much from them or atleast i don't expect so for me custom roms are always the best go.

Any updates to this issue? I am also stuck with MIUI 12.0.4. Tried Resetting and reflashing stock 12.0.4 ROM. Downloaded several official ROMs that were released after aug 2021. Cannot flash any of them with the updater. Only option seems to be unlocking bootloader and trying to flash fastboot version. But I cannot unlock bootloader as my work related enterprise apps will stop working.
Has anyone been able to upgrade to Android 11 ROM on poco M2 pro?

Question Normal to be stuck on Nov 2021?

Morning all, I went through the pages but couldn't find anything that relates to this. Bought the 9pro yesterday (US version, unlocked, using a TMobile sim)
Phone can not find an update, it's still sitting on November 2021 patch with Android11. Is this normal? I know the US hasn't been getting much love lately from OP. I'm also aware of updating via sideload but if this lack of update is known to others as well, I'd rather wait it out until OTA arrives. Anyone have advice?
Same for Europe. BUT - be happy with being "stuck" on Android 11. OOS12 is still way too buggy, more of a beta version.

If you want to try out Android 12, you can proceed through the Oxygen Updater app. The last official OOS12 update I was on has been the C44 EU (C46 is out, but not for EU yet), and I decided to give a try to custom ROMs (Jaguar, on Android 11, and crDroid 8, on Android 12).
I'm currently running crDroid 8 as my daily driver, but OOS12 C44 EU was great too (the first OOS12 updates were quite a mess, though).

If you want to try out Android 12, you can proceed through the Oxygen Updater app. The last official OOS12 update I was on has been the C44 EU (C46 is out, but not for EU yet), and I decided to give a try to custom ROMs (Jaguar, on Android 11, and crDroid 8, on Android 12).
I'm currently running crDroid 8 as my daily driver, but OOS12 C44 EU was great too (the first OOS12 updates were quite a mess, though).

Thanks for the tip on Oxygen Updater. I pushed my device to v12 C44. Very easy!

Do you prefer a12 to a11 on the 9pro? I'm hearing horror stories, almost afraid to update it. What's your opinion on it

Horror stories? Over exaggerated for the biggest part and mostly caused by the disappointment that originated after OnePlus and OPPO announced a closer cooperation and unified OS.

I saw this yesterday but figured I should at least give it a little time. Two small issues so far. One, it optimized my alarm clock app so I woke up late this morning. Second, the font and spacing seems a bit bigger on everything and I haven't found how to get it smaller yet. I have font set to small. Wifi, Bluetooth, 4 and 5g all seems to be working fine. No issues with lagging, screen, etc. Let me know if you have anything specific you want me to check.
I paid $530 for my 9pro brand new (us version & unlocked). I'm stuck on Nov 2021, I don't see anything super promising regarding A12 or OOS12, so I guess I'll stay on A11 and treat this phone like a mid-ranger. If I get a OTA, yay.... If not, oh well it was essentially 500 bucks for an 888 and 12gb of Ram

Do you happen to know if I root my 9 pro, whether or not I can still get OTA updates? Or, if maybe i could still use Oxygen Updater to do so? I dont mind the stock OS but id love to get Titanium Backup going and a few other small things.
NEVERMIND - Found on the Oxygen Updater site. Still works after root, just a slightly different process.

You'll have to check personally for that, as I'm unsure about how Titanium backup works. But I know you can still use Magisk and keep your device rooted even through OTA updates (the process is described step by step in the associated post on the OnePlus 9 Pro forum, so you should find it quite easily, but be careful, as you have to do a few things before rebooting to apply the OTA update.).
