hi, i'm new in this forum. is that because the device is new and there's not a lot of support for other roms right now? or is there a problem with biloba that makes it bad for modding
Good question!
I am used to Xiaomi devices having a huge modding base, so I got the Note 8 (2021)...
I unlocked bootloader, thinking it was a willow, and just realized I have a biloba...
Any custom rom in sight?
So far I only rooted my biloba. Probably you could try GSI Roms on it, but I haven't tried yet.

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,
I'm currently in the situation that I need a new phone. The Redmi Note 8 and the Redmi Note 7 are almost the same price. That's why I would prefer the Redmi Note 8. Now I saw on XDA that there are a lot of ROMs for the Redmi Note 7 and only 2 officials for the Redmi Note 7. Is there a reason for that? I know that the Redmi Note 8 is new. But still after some months I thought there would be more official roms.
What do you think? Will there be more in the future or is the Note 8 abandoned? And what is the reason for that?
Thank you in advance.

roms currently available for redmi note 8 are
posp,
aosip derpfest,
PE(both unofficial and official),
mi room,
miuimix,
lineage os,
bootleggers,
mi novo,
hydrogen os,
superior os,
ressurection remix,
aosip
development has already started for note 8. But the only issue is that all these roms give random reboot in huaxing display(Except PE). If you have tianma display it would work fine.

There are already 2 roms available for gram and many more are under progress in future we will get unified builds for both the devices meaning 1 rom can be used on both the devices so do not worry about roms and also you can flash aosp roms of curtana on Gram even if you want to.

Can all ROMS developed for Note 9 Pro be used in M2 Pro or does it have to be specifically made to work on both?

idk what you mean by "core"
best rom is RRos
yes, both ginkgo and willow are diferant in fw
you can't install miui or custom rom based on miui on both (those roms have fw)
but other custom rom are unified (work on both and don't have fw)
as long as you avoid flashing miui and fw you will be fine

Nethunter shall not work in latest Android releases due to enhanced security.
you can try it out yourself. There is a page which teaches us about adding support as nethunter is just a package flashed above a ROM, nothing more. The problem will be to get features working.

No. The 2021 biloba model has other chipset. Totally different from the gingko/willow model.
I had the same question. That sounds bad so...
Will there ever be a custom rom?
