I recently shifted from the great XDA beloved OnePlus One and I'm shocked by the lack of the development with Z2, the device is awesome, in terms of specs and it shoud deserve more XDA love!
CM ROMs available in Chinese forums
There are CM ROMs available in official Chinese forum (bbs.zuk.cn)
CM13: bbs.zuk.cn/z2/t135170/
Download: pan.baidu.com/s/1qYlKh5a Verification Code: kd5f
CM14: bbs.zuk.cn/z2/t176429/
Download: pan.baidu.com/s/1skYQSm5 Verification Code: e95q
Google Translate may help you understand what they say.
The Baidu NetDrive would require a code as provided above when you access the file.
The ROMs are unofficial versions but they work fine.
Four promotional software exist in the ROM.
/system/app/NewBrowser
/system/app/AppCenter
/system/app/Movie2345
/system/app/Weather2345
The removal of these injected apps is recommended before use.

I own a OnePlus One and i was thinking about buy it as well but for a familiar, not for me and It's clearly that this device is far away from the OPO development, and it surprised me because it's a great device.
Just curious, and sorry for the little off-topic: how is it in terms of performance, camera and screen compared to the OPO?
Do you know if there are any update about this? I'm thinking about buy it if we can get official CM14.1 builds in some near future.
Basically I'm interested in buying it only if there are a fully functional custom rom like CM, slim or omni.

I've also been keeping tabs on the device. Check www.zukfans.eu for an overview of available roms and a more active device forum.

Yeah i saw that at least in that forum there is much more activity, but even with that the development is not as good as i would like to see. Maybe I'm quite exigent with this but i think this device has a really good potential since his source code was published some few months ago and i don't see big results for now.
For example, the only official builds from a recognized development group i saw was from Mokee. That doesn't need to mean the development is bad but also I'm seeing some people complaining about some minor issues in unofficial builds like CM13.

I see what you mean though don't agree with. If you talk of chinese cm13 then yes.
Just take the latest release from fedor and you'll be good. I am myself crafting a rom from the different guys release.
Right now hardcore devs (meaning doing that full time) are on cm14.1 port, which is already running but having some issues.
CM 13 is mostly stable, in the coming weeks you should have some even better releases coming out.
I have bought this phone and I'm curious if there is any custom roms other than MIUI?

There are no other custom ROMs yet, but there are several factors that make me believe that there will soon be good support for this device.
First off, xiaomi most of the time doesn't wait long these days before revealing their kernel source.
Furthermore this device is a typical mid-ranger that in a way scratches the upper range, so it is predestined to make people curious about its potential and is very affordable at the same time.
We don't have cristal balls for these questions, but for me the odds are good - otherwise I wouldn't have bought this phone myself ; )
I think this device has better chance to get custom ROMs than 5G version, because it has same chipset like Redmi Note 10 Pro or Poco X3 NFC. These devices already have custom ROMs, so it is possible to make custom ROM with the help of their device trees. I will maybe buy this phone and attempt to do it once I have more free time, however I would be glad if more experienced developer did it
I'm really hoping for PixelPlusUI or Pixel Experience on this. would be perfect.
I am not at all confident for this device, about custom roms.
RN 10 Pro came out not even a month earlier, and you can already find twrp plus many roms in development.
For Mi 11 Lite nothing yet...and I don't think it's much harder to mod.
It is a device born unlucky in my opinion, they have produced few and sells little, and will have little or zero community.
I'll wait another month, and if nothing comes out I'll sell it.
It's a pity, because i really love form factor and weight, and is fast and reliable. But for me modding is essential, i dont like miui.

Hi all,
Can somebody tell something about his/her experience with MIUI Mix ROM? Especially in comparison with the xiaomi.eu ROM? Both information about the stable as the weekly ROM are welcome.
Kind regards,
Thomas
I just dirty flashed MMX v21.6.23 directly over miui.eu ROM v21.6.23 without wiping anything (except Dalvik) and it works perfectly.
It looks extremely similar for me, just maybe more smoothly (Placebo effect?)
Let me check power consumption tonight and report.

Hi. although they are Devices different and Processors different.
I hope this personall opinion can help you understand some points to be considered, especially the use of battery by rom mix vs. rom me
SOT should be about the same, however standby is much better.
Definitely a smoother experience versus Xiaomi.EU and lots of useless tracking bloat removed.
Giving credit to where it's due, still Xaiomi.EU's work with Team MMX optimizations.
Thank you all so far for the great comments!
As promised, I measured the standby power consumption during last night (see attached), and indeed it was much better (mostly 0.12%/h) than the previous night with miui.eu (see second attachment)
I hope it helps.
I wouldn't recommand this rom as it seems closed source and no info whatsoever on developers but a telegram channel. Could be spyware/backdoor in it. Or maybe I'm wrong. But I won't trust it.

OK but MIUI itself, while based on opensource Android but adding a lot of proprietary components, isn't really open source !
So obviously, MMX cannot be more open source than MIUI (Xiaomi) itself

Been using MiuiMix on my Mi Pad 4 for 3 years, if they wanted to steal credentials they would have a long time ago.
My Mi Pad 4 was rooted and I purchased lots of apps from the play store with it, never got billed for something I did not purchase.

MMX got removed from so many Telegram devices channels for a reason. Do some research guys, it's not a safe rom.
Alright, I'll look into it.

I cannot find a lot about it, and MIUI Mix in general (which indeed maybe a red flag on itself). Could you maybe point us to your source?
MiuiMix posted their roms on XDA just like many other new custom developers in late 2017 to early 2018, this is the time I bought my Mi Pad 4 (unlocked from seller).
I've look deep into the files and services that runs on the rom from fresh install, seems to be no signs of spyware, but of course I'm no security expert (only took two courses in college).
My reasoning for them being kicked out of so many Telegram channels and disappearing from XDA would be their roms are not based on their own work and there's probably lots of backlash from the developers of Xiaomi.EU and the general custom rom community.
I'll say this though, I totally agree Xiaomi.EU is the safest bet to whomever wanting to run a custom rom based on MIUI given they debloat those Chinese tracker apps still left on Xiaomi.EU rom.
This is obviously one of the the reasons why like MiuiMix (it's very clean, Chinese tracker apps removed), but then again I might be dealing with a super sophisticated spyware app baked into the rom.

I know the team,have a group on telegram with any info,and the rom is a modified eu with some tweaks,every rom is tested before,no backDoor or spyware in it.
Are there any custom roms for the pixel 6 pro? I don't see any on XDA and I have a hard time finding them with just a Google search. I appreciate you answering me.
there are a few (2) listed in the development section in this forum. but most aren't listed on XDA anymore. You will want to join a TG group that lists all the ROMs that are currently available (approx 8 right now). The name of the group is Pixel6Chat
Ahh I'm finally getting the hint. Why has development migrated to tg? I've never even used tg lol.
Yes, there are quite a few. crDroid, Spark, Lineage, Derpfest, AICP, AOSP Extended are some.
telegram links are not allowed

Too many n00bs cluttering developers threads with posts that don't contribute to development. It gets annoying fast when people keep re-asking the same question that has already been answered multiple times in the thread or is answered in the original post, or complain about bugs without providing a logcat or at least details on how to reproduce the issue.
I remember when XDA used to be about Android development, but as it gained popularity over the years it started to become more of a general Android/smartphone/tech help and support forum.
I see. I can hardly blame the developers. Perhaps a more tightly moderated board would be more encouraging.
Definitely sad state of affairs!
I figured it may have been for another reason, say why we lose things like vanced.

True that.
Sadly, especially the new generation prefer TG groups instead of forum. But if the reason is that people keep asking the same questions, it might happen more on any social media or group, as the forum should be better for searching function and tags by arguments. One limitation perhaps is that the new XDA forum is not compatible with Tapatalk, and, for mobility reasons and use on smartphone would be a nice method to access.
As the original Google firmware delivered with the stock rom has some special features (we know mainly some code related to Tensor computing, for photography on gcam, as well on dictation etc.) I wonder if we may see any review here, about the main difference, which features are common, because part of AOSP rom code, and what we may miss. Does the custom roms in Pixel apply ie the June updates?
In my previous devices I always used custom roms, but I never owned a Pixel and of course would be interesting to know about the difference.

You can download some roms like lineage for p6p here. Just use fastboot -w
Then fastboot update "rom.zip"
I can't guarantee that all these roms use that method but lineage os does.

True I know those commands. But It will wipe my data and well I kinda dont want to do that right now. I will download them though for the future when twrp becomes a thing for the p6p.
I have been using fastboot commands to update my p6p monthly security patch . Magisk prevents it.
Thank you for the link! I just downloaded them. Will keep them saved for the future when I can use them.

This seems to be a factor too. I read in one of the descriptions of a recent released ROM that proprietary features would not be included because of similar concerns.

agreed! But time will tell. Glad to see within the past month custom roms have been happening. Pixel 6 pro has a 5 yr google support so there is no reason to really move to custom roms unless its for fun with messing around and experiencing features.
I must say, latest A13 beta, rooted, with AOSP Mods and a few others, makes the Pixel 6 Pro feel GREAT

You know why this "new generation" go to TG? Because on XDA if someone complains about a bug or something they have to deal with it. On TG if someone says something they don't like or want to deal with they can ban them. Way to many people lacking the mental capacity have admin rights on TG.
We're fortunate that the Evolution X team has started working on the 3rd test build for Marble (Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo). Development just began yesterday. Thankfully, there already prebuilt kernels/modules so test ROMs boots successfully. So far, SMS, NFC, Cam and other basic functions are operational. A crowd funding activity started yesterday and for those who might be interested to support may do so as the target is about halfway met.
Learn more, become a tester, support the project and follow developments.
GitHub: https://github.com/Evolution-X-Devices/device_xiaomi_marble/commits/tiramisu
Download Build 2: https://pixeldrain.com/u/LY6uaR35
Hi to everyone! I'm Joey, Lead developer and Founder of the Evolution X ROM.
You may have seen my work on other devices, specifically work on Mi A1, K20 Pro and Mi 11 as those are devices I maintain. I've chosen to purchase a Poco F5 due to the specs-price ratio. I think the benefits I'll get with the device will greatly coincide with the new community I will be handling.
I'm excited to build for you guys soon and hopefully Xiaomi or a different dev completes the missing parts of our OSS kernel in order for us to be able to release these builds in an Official manner via XDA.
Kindly help contribute to the current crowdfund if you think it's worth supporting our project and to bring an official ROM straight to this device as early as now. Hoping that we can get the device before next week.

We will include additional stuff like those once we start work on OSS vendor. For now, we're using a prebuilt vendor and kernel.
Also regarding the crowdfund, we've reached $323 and around $146 remains! Help contribute if you guys can!

Hello @jerbau,
although we allow bounty/fundraisers/donation threads under certain circumstances, we are generally discouraged. The developer must have good reputation and the thread must not started from 3rd party without him being aware of. Regardless a custom ROM is no innovative development and doesn't qualify for. If you want to re-open the thread, please get in contact on PM with moderators for approval first.
Furthermore we remind you, upfront donations are not permitted as per our forum rules.
XDA Developers Forum Rules
