[ROM][GSI] Official Android Q

BETA Version
Ready to try?
I start....
https://developer.android.com/preview/gsi-release-notes

Is very difficult to make it stable....
Wifi connection and screen lock password issue,
second reboot impossible....
But nice to see this evolution.
Stay tuned, work on it....

Booted googles Android Q gsi. Everything works fine, mobile data, calls, Bluetooth etc. Only secured WiFi is messed up can't connect. Reboot bootloop issue is fixed by deleting vendor/app/
Steps I did was,
-have a fresh install of miui 10.3 (from xiaomi.eu) on to system
-flash Q gsi to system partition on twrp
-after gsi flash, reboot twrp then mount vendor and through twrps file manager locate vendor/app and delete it.
-reboot
And done bootloop after restart issue should be home.
Things I found are sounds are very static and distorted I got it fixed my flashing viper4android and you'll need root for that. Use magisk 19. Also I'm using global version. I'm sure chinese version will be fine but again I'm not sure

Sorry i tried several times but no changes with andro kernel

Looks like incall voice is buggy too. I can't hear the person on the other end. And system notification sounds are still distorted like staticky.

No need to port as it will be a GSI

Yeah I forgot about that but as this device is not specifically supported for a beta, it might have issues like previous GSI betas.

The official support would be nice. I understand the mi9, but i don't see the point i mix 3 5g. the user base is too low. It went on sale only week ago. 5g is still few years ahead from global adoption. Mix 3 4g would be better choice for beta testing.

Same here, tried to get it to work but constantly bootlooped

Anyone tried the latest beta?

But...by the end of the year Android Q will be officially avaible as OTA update for mi mix 3 and other Xiaomi phones as confirmed by them. So why messing things up with unifficial GSI "just to try" a new release? I'm not blaming anyone who wants to, but it is really necessary? It's so terrible to stay on MIUI rather than stock or so bad to stay on Pie (both stock or custom) rather than on a newer OS version?
Personally i prefer a stable software (or an almost bug free one at least) than an unstable one with possibly many non working/partially working features. What do you think?
P.s before the bull**** storm by someone:
1) Yes, i used custom roms before on other devices, i liked them and they always made my devices better in terms of performances and upgraded them to the latest OS avabile when the official support ended. (Galaxy SII Plus, Galaxy Tab S2, Honor 8)
2) You can do whatever you want with your device, i really couldn't care less, but wer're on a forum, i'm just taking a conversation to hear other opinions about GSI (or other custom roms) for this devices wich i found to be very fast, complete and battery friendly even without them.
3) Thank you

I couldn't care less

looking for a good non-google custom rom.

hi everyone,
I have recently bought a mi max 3. Miui is far from my favourite however, and i am looking for a good non-google custom rom. There are so many choices for roms that i find it difficult to decide, and trying every single one seems a tedious task that is hardly worthwile. I have a week to decide, as xiaomi made me wait to unlock the bootloader. Obvious sidenote: I intend to root the device as well.
The custom rom i am looking for should support the following features (in order of importance)
- works without Gapps
- strong encryption (password different from lockscreen)
- decent battery performance (longer lasting battery has preference)
- fast and smooth (the more lightweight the better)
- gesture support (should be standard anyway (the screen is huge, i can't be bothered to reach for the navbar )
- due to rollback protection, it needs to be at least android pie/ android 10(?) - is it worth waiting for android 10 custom rom releases?
I know many of these requirements can be met by using apps as well, but if it is included or easier with the custom rom it certainly has my preference.
I am currently looking at:
- lineage OS (has been my driver for the past years)
- AEX
- Syberia OS
- evolution X
- havoc OS
- resurrection remix
additions are more than welcome
note: i assume TWRP recovery and Magisk for root are still decent options. if not, please let me know

Don't worry about Anti Rollback because it's only for miui first.
Arb lvl need to be the same to rollback on miui but never go to an older one. But since a while on miui we're still on lvl 5.. but on custom ROM it's useless.
For root as always.
Unlock bootloader
Flash orange fox (only recovery supporting encryption)
Flash magisk
Reboot
And if I were you I'll try crdroid or aosip. On my side I'm the actual maintainer of aosio derpfest and stay on it since months. RR is a bit heavy and Cerberus is very clean if you want less. For those I build or builded... For the others Evolution x and havoc are very featured. And aex is lighter than oreo version if you already tried it in past.
You got others ROMs for that consider to join my channel @Nitrogencloud on telegram. Gismobe post more there than xda.
For nogapps just don't flash any gapps. Most of the ROM are provided without any

Thanks for the reply.
I got an error trying to check arb on my device, but if it does not matter for custom roms that's peachy af.
Q1: I remember encrypting my previous phone which had TWRP on it, that seemed to work fine. Did not know about orange fox previously, will look into that. How is Orange fox different from regular TWRP (specifically with encryption)?
Q2: In terms of built-in app permission control, how do cerberus, AEX, crdroid and aosip compare?
Q3: and (last question, promise) with regards to updates, I noticed aosip derpfest does not support ota updates, and crdroid seems to support ota. my previous experience with dirty flashing updates, is best summarized as: "chugging down coffee at midnight trying to unbrick my phone". Not looking forward to that -again, so i prefer the possibility of OTA updates. what would you recommend?
Thanks for your quick reply, appreciate it.

Redmi note 8t custom rom and NFC

Hi, folks. I have a redmi note 8t.
I would like to know if installing a custom rom from miui (EU, MIglobe...) keeps the NFC for payments . I have heard that you can't, that you have to do root and install a magistk module...I hope you can help me with this doubt, since I have unlocked the bootloader...thank you very much!

I have MiUiMix on Android 9 with preinstalled root. I just downloaded magisk manager app and enabled magisk hide. Payments in Poland works.

Lineage 17.1 with Magisk & MagiskHidePropsConf.
Google Pay works fine (france).
Edit: Also, Widevine still L1 so Netflix in HD, Banks app, Pokemon Go works, etc..

If I got you right, you're asking if unlocking bootloader doesn't allow using NFC. If I'm not mistaken, I could use NFC when I unlocked the phone, but I'm not exactly sure.
If you ask after installing a custom ROM NFC works, for that yes, you definitely need to install magisk. Don't be scared though, it's an easy process. Just flash a ROM, then finalize it (ie. start the mobile and setup the ROM). Once you're done with it, go back to twrp and flash magisk. Then install magisk manager (apk).
When in magisk manager both parts are green (that both are installed and working right), rename magisk manager (change it to something other than manager), let it download magisk manager again, and turn on magisk hide. Restart the phone, and in the menu you'll find from which apps manager should hide itself. Choose the banking apps and you're all ready to go.
I use the same mobile, and these are the steps I took. It's simple, straightforward and intuitive. Don't worry, you'll have NFC once you follow these simple steps.

Thank you so much for your answer... I'm sorry I didn't answer sooner, but I couldn't because of my job...
Now I have the EU stable (miui11) waiting for me to update to 12 .... recommend me another rom based on miui ? .... thanks again and a greeting!

First, you're most welcome!
Second, I didn't use any miui based ROM. Of those I tried, I fancied them in decreasing order as follows:
crDroid
LineageOS
Pixel Experience / Paranoid Android
In general, I can't say I'm dissatisfied with any. It's just minor stuff that put one over another, and all have been good in general. I use crDroid now simply because it allows more customizations - albeit I can't use front and aux cams. It's a singular issue though, as I don't read this from other users.
So I'd say try any, if you want. Because I use it now, I'd recommend crDroid but you'll find fans of all, and others that I didn't mention. It comes down to trial and error in the end.
NFC works with all four that I mentioned. In the beginning, when I first rooted and installed a custom ROM, my banking app warned me that I use a rooted phone and whatever, yet it's simple to fix. Don't worry about making NFC work, it really is easy. Step by step,
Install magisk from twrp
Install magisk manager
Rename magisk manager app
Open the app and let it install magisk again
Restart
Enable magisk hide
Restart
Then install your banking app and from magisk manager, add the banking app to hidden apps
And that's it. It seems a long process but takes five minutes.

Thank you very much for your comment my friend .....I have it in mind to install these roms ....greetings!

Please help me migrate from China ROM to ANYTHING else

I'm on latest MIUI China ROM, 12.0.2 Stable.
Is there any method with a tutorial to migrate to the Global ROM or a custom ROM.
When I went from MIUI 11 to 12 via OTA update things were OK, but every since I did a clean recovery ROM update to MIUI 12 it's been a NIGHTMARE.
Thanks

All the problems magically disappeared.
I took a nap and tried all the things that didn't work like logging into Chrome and installing the Alexa app and they worked though I'd tried 50 times before and didn't adjust any settings. WTF

Question Xiaomi.eu for mi 11x(Aliothin)

So from miui 13 xioami.eu is not working properly with mi11x (aliothin).
As xioami.eu refuses to support mi11x though alioth and aliothin are the same device.
(They said and I am quoting here "This is intentional. The ROM didn't have proper support for aliothin to begin with (when you say "it was working fine" you don't really know what you're talking about because you didn't notice the issues). We removed the remaining aliothin junk. So yeah, it's not meant to work on aliothin.")
Anyone have any miui 13 custom rom suggestion? Not based on china base

I also ended up in a boot loop, got "nv data corrupted msg" in miui recovery. Flashed miui official V13.0.4.0.SKHINXM via usb otg and booted successfully.
What's slot A/B in TWRP?
xiaomi.eu was in slot A and miui official in slot B.
I'm not able to flash xiaomi.eu android 12, not able to install from otg. Wiped slot A but not able to copy zip to data.
Currently using android 13 official.

Yeah, miui eu doesn't support aliothin, which i find so awkward.
But i managed to flash miui eu latest, and everything works fine except for the camera. It's not usable at all. When you take a shot , the app closes and nothing is saved.
No matter what app you use for camera , it's the same thing.

The display setting will not have the 120hz option.
This happens when xiaomi.eu deliberately removes code related to aliothin. I still don't understand the reason behind it. And it's just frustrating.
And nobody should recommend xioami.eu for mi11x.
Hoping other custom MIUI in future that will support mi11x.

I own Mi 11x and I currently have Xiaomi.eu 12.5.18 stable installed. And the battery life is terrible
I was thinking of updating to miui13 hoping for better performance and I came across this thread.
What do you guys suggest?
This device is great except the proximity sensor and battery life, which is a serious turn down

Well for battery life you can root and install naptime + servicely. This helps a lot in aosp rom.
Also lower the clock speed of every cpu cluster by 100-200 (max). For this use franko kernel manager.
You can this on miui also. I never did this in miui.
Basically there are **** ton off background services and wake locks prevent your phone from sleeping and consumes more and more battery. Above mentioned apps let you choose how android behaves when screen is off also limiting unnecessary background processes.

Well most banking apps working with magisk + shamiko + safteynet fix.
Here's a tutorial. What banking apps do you use? Most upi apps will work.
Naptime works without root using some adb commands. But I don't know how usefull it will be. Because it doesn't freeze the background services when not in use.
If you don't want to root and want a good battery backup. Stock is the best option. Just use some debloating tools to uninstall unnecessary mi services.
Other wise you can try aosp + kernel. I don't if that will pass safteynet.

I am using MIUI EU weekly ROM from the past 10 months. But for me also from last march month onwards, unable to flash latest ROM, as it shows NV data corrupted. Any help or workaround to fix or bypass this problem? How you flashed the latest?

now that mi 11x is not supported by xiaomi.eu since miui 13, has anyone tried miui china rom? might not be as good as eu, but surely better than global. what about google app? and can it be debloated? anyways my battery backup was very poor on xiaomi.eu 12.5.18 stable and i had to make a switch.i am planning to switch to miui china V13.0.6.0.SKHCNXM. but i wanna make sure it doesnt have any issues before i do it.
