Wondering about it. I'm thinking of buying one (whichever is cheaper at my place).
Also wondering if it is possible to replace/delete MIUI (im not sure what it is, been thinking it is OS so replacing it with Android One or any custom rom honestly)
Never had a Xiaomi product, so I'm at a lost.
If you prefer a clean vanilla Android experience go with the A2 Lite, if you prefer a heavy customized UI filled with "bloatware" go for the Redmi 6 Pro.
Even though both devices share the "same" hardware, they aren't OS flash compatible.
At the moment, we only have GSI roms when it comes to custom roms, but some people are working on a Lineage port.
Can't speak for the Redmi 6 Pro, better check its forum before buying one of the devices.
There are some differences between both devices. For example there is the different SoC (Snapdragon 636 for Note 6 Pro and the Snapdragon 625 for the Mi A2 Lite). Furthermore the software isn't compatible, if it would, we would have a nice MIUI-Rom for the Mi A2 Lite
But I think that you can replace the MIUI-Stock-Rom of the Redmi Note 6 Pro with another Custom Rom or GSI. This should work and as far as I know there are some Roms :good:

He didn't asked about Redmi 6 *Note* Pro. 6 Pro and A2 Lite use the same hardware.
Edit: The main differences between the 6 Pro and the A2 Lite are the partition scheme and the OS which is used. The 6 Pro has oldschool A type partition scheme, A2 lite uses A/B partition scheme for seamless OS updates and therefore you can't crossflash their stock roms 1:1.

Cleaner? o.o
I forgot to mention I was thinking about Redmi 5X / Mi A1 as well (A2 lite looks like an A1 with a bit of upgraded hardware + MIUI + more battery)
Mi A1 is priced cheaper by a lil bit, but yeah..
So there's no custom roms for A2 Lite yet? I want to root, yep.

There are Treble-Roms, these Roms are like a generic custom rom for many devices. The Mi A2 Lite supports these Roms and it also works fine.

I wouldn't buy a A1 anymore, because you will end up with only one more OS update and one year less of security patches.
Custom roms like Lineage are in the making and you can use GSI roms (just google them). Rooting is no problem, you won't
have any problems with OTA updates after rooting, as long as you don't alter the system partitions.

The R6P is also a treble device, that means, that you are also able to flash gsi roms! And there are more gsi's for the A only scheme... But the R6P has less lte frequencies - it doesnt have band 20 (800 mhz) which is important for europe!
Hi guys
I have create some custom rom list.
Please choose one of your favorite rom and explain why you choose it.
Thanks
Hello.
I am checking some by now.
I will answer soon.
Miss Mirum.
are all of these available here on xda?
MiRoom is my favourite at the moment. There are different clock options on always on display screen. Also gcam works well on this ROM
why are there so few Rom for the 8th if compared to the 8th or the 8th lite? I don't like miui rom based and the outher rom is only Pixel Rom. And Havoc, RR, Syberia??? Why not?
Mi 8 and Mi 8 lite are sold in global but Mi 8 SE is only in China. That's the reason there are not much developers for SE and roms are not frequent.
There is Havoc for Mi 8 SE, gsi roms work because of treble support. Actually it is also quite stable, I am going to share installation when i have free time
Thank you, all true but it's a shame because it's a great phone and I wish it was my next purchase
miuipro only
Can you all share which is the custom rom that you are daily driving on your Poco M2 Pro?
How and why did you select that from the bunch?
Also share your thoughts on other custom roms that you have tried and liked ( and also those which you did not like). State the reasons too please.

This one seems the best custom rom ever made for Poco M2 Pro. No issues so far from past 2 months of use. Best rom for anyone who likes miui but don't want the stock rom.
Whice is the best custom rom for Xiaomi Redmi note 5 pro device? I am now using LinegeOS. It's pretty good for me but i want to upgrade to A12, where LOS A12 not available in officially. I heard A12 have bettery draining problem for RN5 pro. It’s true or not?
A12 isn't that good. . I revert it back to 11

Hello people
I have a Poco F3 but i dont know how to update the phone to miui 14? i was told, that you have to update the phone yourself by flashing it?, Is that true??
Or how do i get the newest android 13??
Thank you ..
best regards!
Believe me, there is no major differeces betwwen miui 14 and the previous 13 on poco devices, but it's noticeable in xiaomi . So, I suggest to install xiaomi eu rom of xiaomi k40. and there is another good rom is called miuivn rom.
I suggest you dump that tracker loaded OS period and install a aosp rom Like Arrow
If you are in global miui the only good feature you can get is copy text from an image in my opinion. But if you want to experience all the miui14 features use xiaomi.eu
