Hello there,
I'm new and I need your advice.
I own a Redmi Note 9 Pro (global version), and I became desatified with MIUI.
I can no longer tolerate ads on a phone I paid for, dual unnremovable apps eating up space, and the dark theme not working in many apps.
So here's my question,
would installing Android 12 (stock version) fix all the issues I had before? Will everything work correctly, i.e. the camera, GPS, NFC, and the other basic utilities?
Should I worry about battery life?
Has anyone done this before?
Thanks for your time

I am not clear what you mean about "Android 12(stock version)" is that Stock MIUI Android 12 or some other non MIUI custom Android 12 ROM.
Anyway, for me the biggest problems with non MIUI (ie custom) ROMs are - no VOLTE, no VoWiFi and inferior non MIUI camera apps. With stock MIUI ROMs you can use debloat tools to stop ads and remove system apps.
By stock android I mean the native android experience, without any skinning (= no custom ROMs). You can read more about it here. The one you find in Nokia and Google devices.

Whats not the like....very feature rich and smooth....
But if your really want to change Rom, the advance way is to look in development section....many to choose from RR , CM, Mokee. All MM rom, some even got Nougat.
But if you want an easy way. Just download a launcher.
i am waiting on a bootloader unlock request via sms then i will flash CM14.

First I want to say that MIUI is too basic and I dont consider it a real rom.. thats my personal opinion.
Now there are 2 problems with your answer though I do appreciate it. First, the roms you suggest have issues, especially the camera and video recording. Second a launcher wont remove 2 I hate in MIUI which are the notification bar and task switcher.
But, I read that the task switcher in CM 14.1 is like the one in the stock rom so I may install CM. And the notification bar in MIUI is the worst I've seen. I cant believe it exists when the one in the stock rom is llight years ahead in looks and functionality.
Is it possible to replace the notification in MIUI with the one found in the stock rom? If not, can an Xposed app can do the trick?

I have used aosp and cm all my life... I personally used sony stock launcher and samsung ones also....light year behind..? I don't believe so...it just different not useless. Miui also got something other launcher dont have like second space and dual apps...like others l, need to installed separately. Rr and cm for mm is stable..if you keep up to date with the current development, youll know. Only for naugat probably some issues...if rooted your device and unlock, miui got xmiui apps for xposed to setting up miui launcher. But if you do hate miui, then RR rom is the best for now.

Hi, in my opinion there`s no any rom more appropriate that the stock, let`s clarify that rom stock for Xiaomi is Miui developed to bring all the functionality to device, actual version of miui is so complete, previous v5, 6 they lacked many functions. maybe you must explore the themes from miui to change fonts, icons, notification bar, colors and others, really nice themes (first explore, if you didn`t), besides miui launcher you can replace for any other (Nova. BB Launcher, HTC Launcher) and you must uninstall just deleting with a file explorer or with a remover app after rooting. Anyway you have others roms (custom); for me the best in MM is Mokee and for Nougat is the last build from RR. Preferences may vary.

There is a theme called Android N in MIUI theme store to change the appearance of notification shade, status bar, quick serious toggle and recents apps. BTW Resurrection Remix by Ajsmsj78 is highly recommended. The camera and video recording is working perfectly. I use open camera.

Easy, why do you buy a xiaomi phone?
Buy a nexus or whatever phone with stock rom and you will not have problems in that sense.

It's as close to stock as you can come on any phone other than Nexus/Pixel phones.
A different launcher helps. Problem is few Roms other than MIUI work on helium. Only major problem is lack of NTFS and exfat support. Might be better if bootloader is unlocked and Xiaomi.eu MIUI version installed. Over all the phone is good. Better and larger screen than my Nexus 6. Other big problem is no to poor printer support when trying to print from the phone.
Hello gentlemen.
Redmi Note 8 Global comes with standard Google calling, contacts, and messaging applications.
The MIUI versions, in my opinion, are infinitely better.
My question is:
Is there how to put these applications?
Already tried to download by apkmirror but the calling app does not work.
Thank's.
Same issue here... Wondering why Xiaomi decided to bundle this device with google apps... Anyone knows how we can get the MIUI apps back
I personally like Google’s more than Xiaomi
They say on Xiaomi forums that Google requested to put their apps.

Switch to Xiaomi.eu ROM, more enhanced and fluid than stock. It has miui default apps for Phone, Contacts & Messages.
There are two ways on global.
The first is through Magisk.
The second is through Recovery.

Xiaomi.eu is a unofficial firmware, so you cannot install without unlocking bootloader. There are some good guides in the forums, some searching will show you the whole process. It will void your warranty, by the way.
It is Multilang (multiple language support) so it should support most if not all languages.

1.Which is the fastest, smoothie,bettery saving custom rom for Mi A2 lite?
2.Which is the fastest, smoothie,well optimised(ram management aslo) custom rom for Mi A2 lite?
Please help me and thanks in advance.
I went through several custom ROMs and ended at Android 10 crDroid. Even though most custom ROM devs now switched to Android 11 (R) development, from my experience the R ROMs are still too new and too buggy for daily use. A custom ROM probably won't help you save much battery, but for RAM management, you'll see massive improvements given how terrible it is on stock.

This GCam: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-the_dise/f/dl0/
Remember to enable HAL3 in Settings - System - Camera HAL Switch. Also portrait mode (the blurry background thing) and HDR+ don't work on selfie camera, so you have to disable them before taking selfies. Everything else works well.
Thank you so much

fast system, but it has its own problems as in other custom firmwares. As I understand it, no custom firmware developer is able to fix some bugs due to the fact that some bugs are found on absolutely all firmware for several versions of android in a row.

I used Android 10 crDroid. More than often the bottom navigation bar became unresponsive. Real show stopper for me.
What's the situation now? I realised that the phone is no longer getting security updates which is not great. I haven't flashed custom in years, but I remember it was a bother to get banking apps working. Is it still a problem? What's the most reliable and secure custom out there?

Almost all of the custom ROM available for Mi A2 lite is very stable and bugless. Ram management was never a problem in custom ROMs and battery life provided by customs is very near to stock ROM ( keep in mind the battery is very old).
Banking apps should work fine. But it also depends upon the app itself. You can pass safety net and app requiring only safety net should work fine.

Do you need Magisk for safety net? I remember I had to do that with my old LG G4.
Which of ROMs is best when it comes to security updates?

For some ROMs you don't need magisk and for some you do. Almost all the ROMs for daisy are up-to-date and receive monthly updates.

There isn't a "best", your experience will determine which is the best for you. I have tried POSP, arrow, crDroid 7 and all of them are very stable and up-to-date. They differ only in customizations and such. Search what do you want and see the specific features of each ROM.
Battery life and stability cannot be compared across users and different ROMs. You can choose any one of the ROMs, all of then are very good for daily usage.

I've found unofficial LOS 18.1 the most stable. Almost no issues.
Hi, guys I just bought Mi 10T yesterday and I notice there is an update 2.8G for the Mui 12.1.1 and I wonder if I should stick to Android 10 at the moment because I heard there are some bugs in the new update like an unresponsive touch screen and some other issues.
What you think !!!!
I currently use official Global EEA rom 12.1.5.0 (RJDEUXM). It is definitely more buggy than the Android 10 rom came with the device. But, I must say it is a lot better than the first Android 11 rom (12.1.1.0).

After writing my previous comment, I re-enabled MIUI optimization and my problems have gone for good I needed to disable it to install YouTube Vanced, so enabling it was not much of an issue. The bugs I encounter were
Gestures were not working on Nova launcher
I couldn't change Whatsapp notification sounds
Inter-app file opening (like opening a pdf attachment with a third party app) was not working.
Based on this development, I could recommend the latest official EEA rom. But, I should note that Android 11 doesn't chance user experience a lot.

In the first place other users reported that Miui optimization is hidden on A11. How did you bring it back? Also using Vanced and I'll probably need this.
As for the bugs you mentioned - the 1 and 3 is bugs (features) on A11 itself. You can't use gestures unlees you use the stock launcher and the 3 - A11 changes how the apps access the data on your phone.
Thanks!

I learned it from a blog post. To unhide MIUI optimization scroll down to the bottom of developer settings and tap the "Reset to default values" option under Autofill section several times. It gets hidden again but your settings persist.
Hello everyone,
since my OnePlus 9 Pro doesn't work as fast as I expect, I'm wondering if installing a custom operating system would make it faster. I want degoogled phone, and I would like to be able to restore WhatsApp Chats from OxygenOS backup.
Which Custom ROM do you recommend? LineageOS?
Will Android be faster after installing Custom ROM and is it even necessary to install Custom ROM for speed? Or do you have a suggestion of what to do with OxygenOS to make it fast?
Thank you!
I would find a aosp rom most pute source if you want speed. Also if I were you I would use swift backup to save and restore my apps and data if going to other roms
toolhas4degrees, can you explain how can I do that? at least the first thing you mentioned?
hello,
Long story short:
1. CustomRom: Carbon Rom because battery life is good but for bugs you need to check for yourself
Optional for Battery-Life improvement and issue tracking:
1. "MinMicroG" as a flashable option instead of Gapps ( Skip this if you don't want microG and use Google apps)
2. app "Warden" to analyize apps which are using "Trackers, Google Analytic Services and Ad services" (Some Apps are extreme battery hogs probably because of some Services, Receivers and Wakelocks as i recognized)
3. use app like Servicely or similiar to disable receivers and services (as mentioned above)
4. Use Gsam Battery Monitor for Wakelocks and an advanced battery-usage-Statistic
5. Tasker for Automation for turning things off like Wifi etc. (only for experienced or "willing to learn" users, not necessary)
Note: Custom Rom with MicroG support is needed for MicroG to work (CarbonRom, LineageOS)
Note: For OSS Backups i have no experience, normally Whatsapp makes a backup to Google Drive or atleast local on your phone.
@AndroiduserBlazeIf you need some guidance trough the mentioned procedures, i will try to guide you through.
Ps: if you are still OSS with all your data in place, you can backup and restore via Android Debug Bridge
Best Regard's

Is Carbon ROM faster than LineageOS?
It is difficult to say, I think CarbonRom and LineageOS are close up but not really similar.
I would prefer CarbonRom (android 11) because you can customize your experience a little bit more than LineageOS. I have ran and still run CarbonRom with issues of course but a battery life way better then OSS in my experience.
The other Customroms with Android 12 are not really stable.
I had similar problem with my Huawei P8 LITE 2017 PRALX1, since the last emui update my phone was slow and soft crashing every time and battery wouldnt last long (screen turns black and i'm back at the unlock screen) so I decided to at least try to fix it, after somes adventures I unlocked the bootloader and installed LineageOS 17.1 with android 10 (recent version dont work very well yet, think it comes from the kernel)
My phone was running as new, battery was lot more better, and everything worked except the back camera, I think I broke it when I was opening the phone (tbh not a big deal since I never use cameras anyways)
I opted for LineageOS though. Can anyone tell me how to restore WhatsApp (because it is the only application I want to restore) on the newly installed Custom ROM? Can this chat database be found in Google's drive and just copied to the new Whatsapp on LineageOS?
Thanks in advance!
Can someone tell me why this error appears by trying to flash LinegeOS;
"error: cannot load 'lineage-18.1-20220308-recovery-lemonadep.img': No such file or directory"? Where do I need to put the image file so that he recognise it? I use linux
EDIT: I got it. Problem solved. I just gone into the Downloads folder where I downloaded the image file. Now I´m trying out my new LineageOS ond my One Plus 9 Pro
