Have the Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G, which comes with Android 10 / MIUI 12 [Sort of combination of them i think], and i wanna install an older version of android only, lower than 10 [Preferably 7.0], is it possible to do at all? If so, then how exactly can i do that? if possible with exact instruction or guide to it..
Thanks ahead..
PEACE AND LOVE!
Not possible. I am really curious why would you even want that.

For many reasons.. They changed it in some very bad way for my opinion.. like the auto turning on WiFi by some apps, like some apps that don't have widgets, the call recording issue and many more very annoying unreasonable changes they did on A10 on.. saw also they only allow FBE encryption instead of FDE which is much better [That i can see for huge 128, 256 or maybe 512 Gigs Storages but still it should be up to the user decision not forcing]
So you say it's completely impossible? even if flash universal / rooted ROM? no way at all?! cause man those are really annoying stuff especially to the tech Pros and/or savvy's like us, and i know that since i saw many threads and posts in other forums about those issues too.. Maybe some giving up or thinking it's advancements, but really, maybe big money involved, espionage, and many more possible reasons they doing it.. It's bad, really bad..
* BTW sorry for the multiplication threads didn't knew it's SPAMing and not very involved it forums world..

To be honest I don't understand none of your points.
1. Wifi can be still turned on by apps, you just need to enable the permission (allow always vs. allow only when app is running in foreground).
2. Call recording is working in regions where it's not forbidden by privacy laws.
3. FBE is much better because it allows you to start the phone with basic service without using the password. Not sure why do you consider FDE to be superior.
4. Well, you can try to build your own Android 7 ROM from old sources, but you're going to have a fun time adapting to vendor partition/proprietary files created for Android 10 or 11. Also using several years old code which is not supported or patched anymore is quite interesting approach to security.

Maybe it's regional or SROMs based issue, but the vendor of the app said it's not allowed on Android 10 and on, and i did confirmed the permission to turn on WiFi automatically, but maybe there's some other settings that i missed and that guy was wrong, i'd love if you can show how to enable it globally and/or to just the auto file sync i use, cause i tried many times even with manual syncing [by clicking the Sync button when WiFi is off, it started and turn it off automatically on Android 7.0.. Of course also for time interval based sync]..

Hi.. Thanks for your reply.. i did that already before, but still it doesn't work.. i use FolderSync, that currently in my old Android 7.0 device, does syncing when i click Sync from within the app, while i was totally offline [Data and Wifi] so it turned on the Wifi connection [Specific home network], and also on Scheduled i inserted the Allowed Networks SSID [Which BTW when i turn on WiFi manually and it does sync it with GDrive, it say on top 'Unknown SSID' for case it matters {Had the feeling that it very much does}], I also switced it on in Data and WiFI limit it does on that Security app, which i guess is kind of firewall, and BTW i remember like 5-6 years ago i had the Lenovo A8 "Golden Worrier" has that same kind of Security app built in with firewall and all that, but still manually at least, as i checked, it doesn't turn on the Wifi via FolderSync app.. Got a strong feeling it's due to that Unknown SSID stuff or that Security app.. Could it be?..

FolderSync doesn't turn Wifi On automatically, this feature seems to be missing in the app. But I've just tested with Tasker and it is able to turn Wifi On and Off, so it's not a problem of Android version.
For Allowed SSID feature in FolderSync you must enable permanent location access.
Btw. I see no point in turning Wifi Off at any point, it uses so little power that there is next to none benefit in doing it. If you insist on some kind of automation, use Tasker in a fully controlled manner.

Well your first argument is actually not tru, FolderSync does turns on Wifi automatically as i do for like 4 years with my older Galaxy s6 [Great dev BTW, Samsung's first 64 bit device i thinks] running now Android 7.0, and also the other day and im sure if ill try this right now it will actually turning on WiFi from off mode and also automatically closed it when done syncing, but no matter what i did it doesn't doing it on the XM10T5G, and it both updated to the latest FolderSync version the one with those tiles.. so it must be something with the operation system.. again it's some kind of Andro/MIUI OS so it has to do with one of them..
About the SSID, i did confirmed the location access all the time [not just when it's used] on the Security app, is there any other place that i should enable location or any other settings that may be relating to this?..
And really? you don't see the point in using Wifi? It's much more faster, secure, and reliable than data.. of course i don't care if it'll be 4G or 5G even better to sync, but obviously not any connection, but thanks for the Tasker Tip, i'll try that.. i've heared that somewhere i think from the gut of FolderSync..
And BTW, the call recording is legal in my country, so i did also many years but here only after trying several apps i found Cube ACR working good.. And also, some apps ask you if you confirm that Call recording is legal in your country but of course if you flash custom or different ROM, the system obviously can never tell..
Peace..

Again security and energy reasons.. Think about it..
Anyway i barely know how to flash ROM, so i'm very far from building a custom one.. But at start you said it's impossible to install / flash an older Android ROM to it [XM10T5G], so you say it's possible with custom ROM?

hi,
well i'm against that policy, not able to post at developer threads under 10 posts, else I would have question that directly,...
I've tried several roms and ended at slim beam, first to 4.2.1 which states at stable but also tested the new one 4.2.2 build 2.5
actually i'm fine with the roms, also slim bean but I do have a 3 major issues with all of them which may be related to S3 and asop/cm:
1.) problem using my apple iphone earbuds (yes I'm a iphone user too)
sometimes after mute the microphone, it won't work after de-mute, keep on muted !
microphone not working after re-connecting earbud on a running call, sometimes no audio on earbuds too, sometimes audio even do not work for the whole device -> reboot etc,...
I've found several possible solutions, non of them has worked.
why android doesn't work with that kind of TRRS earbuds, are they incompatible from hardware point of view, do I need special ones which will work on S3.
2.) problem with direct dialing from calendar, not respecting RFC2806
i really need this very often to join conference calls, sometimes the host creates an conf call and including a number with pin as the location.
well almost every mobile os recognizes this and i'm able to direct dial in on selecting the string: iphone, win, even blackberry, but not android.
i know there might be additional apps which can handle this, but it should be implemented into core apps as this is a well known standard and specified in a RFC.
3.) not recognize AP with highest signal strengh within same SSID
it seems that android devices are not able to seamless switch over to different AP within a wifi network with same SSID.
if moving out of range of AP1 and into range of AP2, android devices for some reason are not able to switch to AP2 (with higher signal strengh), therefore it states at AP1 without beeing able to establish any connectivity (because AP1 out of range). as workaround users needs to disable/enable wifi ;-(
this is also something where I have to find a workaround in my current project (creating huge wifi network over europe), because market share of androids is that high and it still have this serious annoying bug.
thanks,
nean

1. Headphones > Most likely thats just an issue with roms that are version > 4.1.2. Not all the bugs have been worked out, see if you can replicate it with another pair of headphones.
2. I suspect the same thing is going on here, or you would need some more powerful calendar sort of app.
3. This isnt because it doesnt recognize, its because Android is still connected to the last network and says to itself "no need to scan again, I'm already connected". This has to do with how the OS is implemented, not because its a bug with Android. I'm also fairly sure that most other devices do the same thing

thanks for the reply.
ad 1,2,3.) hmmm, is this working on googles stock os and eg on nexus?
ad 3.) this is only related to android devices, as tested in the lab with several other handheld devices with different kind of os'es. ios, blackberry, windows mobile, etc, all work and do seamless switchover except android. well the last known network and the new one is actually the same wifi network which is specified due SSID, so if android's rescan logic is related to that kind of info it may be wise to consider acces point strength as well, just like all the other os'ses,....

Did you test using stock os and not a AOSP rom like stated in the OP? You can't blame the OS for a issue if it is moded in any shape or form. Try using straight up stock TW and see if it works. AOSP and CM are not 100% designed to work on this phone flawlessly.

thats correct, but it doesn't work on galaxy stock os either, that's why I've tried custom roms just to find out if its related to samsung stock rom or if its a general android behavior. well the outcome was that it works on aosp/cm a bit "better" (shorter timeout) but not seamless.
my intention is not about to blame anyone, just like to find out where I can adress this issue, or do I need to get in contact with google?

i'm surprised this tablet does not automatically set the date, time, or time zone from the internet. there is no option under date & time settings. is there anything that i missed?

N5100 has the option in Settings/Date and time - Automatically sync date and time, don't know about N5110 - maybe having no 3G it needs third party NTP client? It would be somewhat logical - smartphones sync time with mobile operator, no 3G no operator for N5110

this sucks, looks like an android limitation. there are clock syncing apps around but it requires root. too bad.

Not a WiFi issue (as a previouos post suggested) and possibly not even an Android issue. My old WiFI-only HTC Flyer updates to local time just fine by reading the location from the WiFi network. And unless this is some HTC Sense specific feature, it should be inherent in Android.
I noticed this too on my last business trip to a different time zone. Its disappointed. Really, Android is mature enough that we should be past the point of obvious missing features like this. Either Google or Samsung dropped the ball here. Its not a big deal, of course, just an annoying and silly feature to be missing.

somewhere on the web I've seen official reply from Google to one of the devs, regarding why time sync is not possible without root: "security reasons", so good or bad, it is their conscious choice
it's true that it's not a very big deal since you can set the time manually.
but just to share my story why this caught my attention:
my GF bought an ipad mini and i made her return it and get a note 8.0 instead since it has great productivity apps pre-installed and the usefulness of the s-pen is great with work related functions. So after the first boot up, the first thing she noticed is that the date and time did not sync automatically considering it's already connected to the web and there is no option to sync it. this is not a good first impression because the ipad synced the time ok. this is just a step back and somewhat embarassing for me considering how much i preach to her how good android is.
the good news is she is starting to like the tablet and it seems like she got over it now lol. i just wished google will make it so that their own OS can natively set the time from the internet. if they think that third party apps are security risks, then why not do it within the system itself?
When I first set mine up, it did get date and time automagically.
Over the weekend, it crashed in an odd way and when I got it to talk to me again, it had
- chosen not to display the network it was connected to, despite being connected and on the intertubes
- decided it was December of 2012
I manually set the time to 'pretty close,' then found an ntp client.
Not sure at all what was going on there. I think there's an ntp client baked in but that it can be gorked under some circumstances.
Since rooting this device is easy peasy and gives you access to things like Titanium as well as ntp clients that can synch, my vote is "install framaroot and root away"
But my vote for any device I own is "root away"
So im old fashion...
Basically i believe a keyboard should NOT have power to record audio.. Now i understand some people like this stuff.. But i dont and if i ever need that feature ill download a seperate application.
Anyway, i moved android.keybaord out of /system and modified its permissions to disallow this. I then patched out the error activity that "force closes" since its just a service it comes back no prob.
Is there some kind of altercation this will cause me down the road? I have nandroid backup.
Also how is there a clean way to disable automatic wifi configuration via dhcp when the wifi radio is off? My current solution is messy... Shouldnt wifi radio being disabled stop all wifi communication? Im not to sure how dhcp functions but i see my phone configuring settings to various wifi networks in the logs even when my radio is off. So i did a messy workaround.....
My dear god! Every system apk has godlike permissions... And this might seem obvious to most. But i refuse to accept my wallpaper accessing my camera... And i know this can be used for cool shot! But jees! Im mutilating my phone because of all this!!
Anyway just modded that too... :/
If anyone knows of future problems of this shot please tell me... I have dual boot and on this partition i have near zero bloatware, and zero google apps.
Ok if anyone knows of a complication.
Like extra battery/cpu use or future corruptipn tell me.

I have a few questions regarding the new update.
1. Does region matter?
I have a RETEU device, is there a reason why flashing the RETBR wouldnt work?
2. Is it worh it? Are the features (mostly design and privacy interest me) Android 12 promised there and functional?
3. How is the battery life on it?
I would love if you guys could help me out since i am very exited about the new features!
Also is there a Third Party Android 12 ROM, or GSI or something, any of you guys have used and recommend that is somewhat functional as a daily driver?
Thanks and much love!
No harm in waiting... 12 is a mess across all devices.
I bailed with Adroid 10 and don't regret spurning 11 and up one bit. CPU cycle sucking scoped storage became mandatory with 11; 12 is likely worse. I would research this first.

Hey,
short feedback from my experiences since upgrading to Android 12 in Germany.
1. Sorry, no idea.
2. Privacy features seam to work fine. Only problems I experienced are the following.
- You can now deny new / formerly hidden permissions. Denying them can brick apps. (example denying the "alarm / reminder" permission bricks the app "Notebook" until permission is granted again).
- All quick access setting have to be sorted again.
- new "deny all microphone access" in quick setting does what it should. For me it did it's job too literally. My interpretation "deny all apps except calling" but all MEANS all (yeah I know obvious... duh....).
3. Haven't performed any special comparisons but it feels same or maybe even a bit longer.

Hi,
to be honest, I have no idea what you mean. I guess I'm too much of a noob regarding Android internals. I mean no offense. Would you be so kind to briefly explain this? Thanks
--------
Some of my own experiences / questions.
Background:
I'm using my device with the work profile to keep annoying apps at bay.
Using "Shelter" app.
Using "Aurora Store" in work profile to install apps.
No factory reset was performed since upgrade.
Not rooted.
Problem:
Since the upgrade to Android 12 I'm experiencing an quite annoying bug. Using the "phone" app (private profile) I have no sound and microphone sometimes. So I can't hear and can't be heard. If I'm activating the work profile and use the "phone" app (again from private profile) I suddenly have sound and microphone.
Fix / workaround:
Another way to "fix" this problem is to reboot the phone. After reboot it works for an undefined time. I haven't tested if the problem starts after using work profile and deactivating it again. I'm testing it and I'll try to not forget to post an update for others.
FYI:
BTW if sound from other apps does work, wasn't tested until now. If you need to call you normally have no time for testing, so reboot it was for me.
Tested solutions:
Tested some general "solutions" from REDDIT & Co.
Editing settings in "Sound & vibration" -> "Audio effects": recommended "activate Dolby ATMOS". Phone doesn't have that so i resetted the setting (after tapping "Audio effects" tap "Settings" at the bottom then tap 3 dot menu and tap "Reset")
- DIDN'T WORK
Suggestion it's a carrier problem
Set network selection to manual and select your corresponding network.
- DIDN'T WORK
Deactivate or activate "Wi-Fi calling". (mine was activated so I deactivated it)
- DIDN'T WORK
Enable or disable "VoLTE". (mine was activated so I deactivated it)
- DIDN'T WORK
My questions:
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Has anyone found a solution?

Great formating and great feedback! Thanks so much!
The first point seems irrelevant anyways since the update is now for RETEU too.
I might try to upgrade tonight but i might wait a bit since i try and degoogle my phone as much as i can so i will probably soft brick it once or twice.
If I run into any of the issues you have i will come back with more feedback!
Regarding what BlackHawk said, from my understanding somehow the new scoped storage feature ( that allows apps to have access to only selected files and folders instead of device wide storage access) somehow messes with the CPU.
He most likely knows more but thats just my basic understanding and interpretation of what he said.
Thanks again and have a great day!
Kind of bummed, ahh well.
Now that that is unrooting and relocking is out of the way... have to say I am sad about this one. I was excited for it, spent HOURS getting it all setup. You all know the deal, lol.
Ran into two issues that I found that apparently showed up with OnePlus' implementation of Android 12 and persist even still... all this time later.
1. The Display Timeout option is not properly (normally) exposed to things like Tasker
2. Call redirection (for things like Google Voice) is broken
I recognize that these are probably issues that 90% of people don't notice/care about, but they're also extremely well documented and reported in all of the normal OnePlus places. I find it bonkers that after all this time, those issues still exist. I use Google Voice to make calls as needed for business when I am on the move without exposing my personal number (and to avoid carrying two devices). I made a number of calls before realizing that it was not working properly (since it's not obvious).
Coupled with some of the little Pixel things I was fine giving up... eh. Just feel sour about long time bugs like that.
Maybe I will try the OnePlus 12 next year. For now, the OnePlus 11 goes back to Amazon.
Just a little rant into the void.
I can't believe they still haven't fixed call redirection. That's been an issue since Android 12 on the OP9. It was so annoying I just switched Google Voice to prefer wifi/mobile data and used the dialer in the app to work around it.

Yeah... I could work around that... yes, it would be annoying when I am getting in the car to remember to have to get out of the parking lot (off wifi) before making the call... but it would end up ok. Then sometimes (hit or miss in my experience) the call would get messed up when I arrive somewhere and connect to wifi again during the call).
And I could work around the Display Timeout issue using different apps and such.
And workaround this and that, etc. But it's just BS to me. Like... fix these old bugs that you create in your build that don't exist in Android/every other build. Admittedly, I was really annoyed at the several calls I made where I had no idea the wrong number was being shown on the receivers ID. Soured the whole thing for me.

Totally agreed. I dumped my OnePlus 9 for the Pixel 7 Pro and chose the S23 Ultra over the much cheaper OnePlus 11 because of my software experience with the 9.

I would love to try the S23 Ultra, but from what I've read... the hoops to unlock and root are just a pain. Getting an import model, etc etc.
I root for many fewer reasons than I once did... but I still have reasons to do it. Someday.

Yeah I kept my Pixel for my rooting needs (really just for Network Signal Guru) and haven't missed it at all on the S23U. There's no way I'll ever import a phone with all the compatibility issues AT&T and Verizon have with them plus they never have n71 for T-Mobile either.

Every year I think more and more about it. At this point I am using root for 4 apps and only 2 of them matter.
1. Adguard - So I can nicely adblock without using VPN style blocking.
2. Swift Backup because I actually find myself regularly wanting to roll back or recover.
The other two are Tasker, but that's mostly just for self granting permissions, and my file explorer that I can easily live without.

I switched to Brave so I don't need an ad blocker (ads in apps don't bother me, just the nonsense that happens in the browser, and in fact I get free service from Boost for watching ads anyway) and I started noticing problems with backups that included app data so I just switched to Google Backup. I will say though, Shizuku is supported by Swift Backup. You can back up and restore everything except the app data without root using Shizuku.

Yeah, I have needed that app data a number of times... for better or worse, I guess.
I'm selling my OnePlus 11. The software is beyond frustrating and the simple tweaks one can do with Developer Options and ADB are either locked out on this phone or revert to defaults upon reboot. Clearly, OnePlus doesn't listen to their fan base outside of China. The development potential was what drove me to buy this, but it has been a complete disappointment. The lack of wireless charging has also proven to be an inconvenience and I don't trust the longevity of the charging port.
It looks like if you want a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 running clean versions of Android, Motorola and Sony are the way to go.
