No more roms from xioami.eu for RN8 Pro.

Bad notice for our RN8 Pro. No more roms from xioami.eu for the RN8 pro for lots of brick by flashing magisk, twrp or modules.

Well there not doing it right because my phone's working mint with custom recovery and root. They jumped ship to soon.

Yeah sad news.
It's starting to look development will be limited as always with mediatek devices.
I'm satisfied with root and stable EU 10.4.5 except for the Google dialer without call recording.
But I'm not even sure if it's safe to update to latest stable 11 global EU. Snapdragon would have been the safer choice.

I agree. I m on stable from xiaomi.eu with magisk and twrp working perfect. The problem is android 10 in dev rom. No recovery with android Q suport for rn8 pro. I remember lots of brick in rn5 pro (SD) with rollback. And all was solved in a few weeks. Very disappointed with xiaomi.eu.

Yah the problem is there updating the hell out if this device and it's getting more & more updates. It's hard to build a development on something that's constantly changing. Right now I'm looking into cooking up a custom kernel for the RN8 pro. It needs that right now for the audio mods like viper and LKT and kernel audiator because you can't manipulate the parameters of the audio. Right now I'm happy with the stock rom it works good and it's stable. I've never built a kernel so I foresee a brick coming my way. Lol

So if it's true it was only because of Android 10, they should have just freezed development for that. Not stable 9, they removed those downloads too.
Does anyone know safe procedure to update rooted 9.4.5 EU global (not xiaomi.eu) to 11.0.1.0 ? Is it worth it anyway?

I'm very interested in trying. I have done a lot of research and downloaded Android ndk and Android studio. Prob is I run windows 10 pro and it seems developing is a lot easier with ubuntu fedora. I have a laptop modified with ubuntu already established. Haha my gf gets mad as hell when I brick phones and I just laugh and say I'll get it. Unfortunately my back up my mi mix 3 I'm waiting for my screen replacement to come in. Might be using the old modded to death lg g3.

Ah, bad news indeed. I hope it'll quickly resolved. G90T is such promising SoC
One question, is source code still broken? No new news from xiaomi? Maybe xiaomi just taking their time to give us Android 10 codes instead short lived PIE codes. Unfortunatelly, I can't help because zero experiences in programming

I've got twrp and magisk root running.
Normally I'd just flash full zip and flash magisk, wipe cache and reboot.
I'm just wondering if someone upgraded to 11 rooted and what procedure.
How's 11 anyway compared to 10?

I was in miui 11 stock (oficial upgrade) , flashed twrp, installed miui 11 stable xiaomi.eu and root. I bricked the phone flashing dev rom android 10. I think android 9 roms are safe to flash anything. The problem is in android 10 roms. Be careful.

I use xiaomi.eu on my begonia.
Fast and very very low battery drain - better than official global rom from xiaomi.
its sad about end of develop this soft. Only android 10 have problem with flash and do brick.

Best android Q gsi for MOTO z2 play? (ALBUS)

So after testing AOSP extended, LineageOS17, Havoc OS and even DerpFest OS, I think moto z2 (albus) doesn't do great with GSI for android 10. There always was something off and the stability was far from one you expect from a gsi. I used KVT 2.3 aroma to boot. However, there are other devs releasing unofficial GSI roms as well which I haven't tested. Like ExPressLukeGSI or Trisquel collection which probably has a special thing for albus. So I am posting this expecting replies from anyone showing love to z2 play, If you know something then tell me. If you want to test the GSIs and can't find links, ask me.

i would to try gsi but i use daily mt phone and i need to something stable at now mokee is working ok but i had a issue with calls. i never try this treble roms xd

Mokee Q or Pie? This ROM are stable?

does anyone know if they are developing a gsi or normal Android 10 ROM for Moto Z2 Albus because I have been waiting for it for a long time and I would like to ask that please continue supporting this team please

@Euiz702 GSI is not specific for some device. You can use almost any GSI on Z2 Play already now

What kind of problems did you have? I'm testing phusson's plain AOSP and so far works good. Scrolling and some apps, especially Google maps run smoother than on stock Pie. I'm using modded Google Camera 6 (shared in Apps&Mods forum), it works good, just HDR+ can't be turned off and it tends to improve reality too much. I just didn't manage to install Magisk yet.
I also wanted to try Trisquels's gsi-albus stuff, but SourceForge has been working badly recently and I wasn't able to download anything

If you want a rom with good battery life, try DescendantOS x (10). Havoc is good, but not for battery life.

I don't know and I already left. But before, my battery usually lasted for one day, now maybe half maybe a bit more.
I tried DescendantX, but it seemed a bit undone with something in status bar. But maybe I try it once more.
I also tried GSIs from gsi-albus project on SourceForge and they seem good, but they have always navigation bar on and fingerprint gestures off (doesn't matter what you select in kvt installer). So I wander whether they are really built with Albums in mind...

Can someone here help me decide whether to take the plunge or not into flashing a custom ROM on my daily driver Z2 Play, by clarifying some of my doubts.
1) Whether the Moto experiences like Moto Actions and Moto Display will be available when using custom ROMs and GSIs?
2) Will it be possible to return to stock ROM after flashing a 64bit Treble based ROM?
3) Also what is the best, most stable Android 9 or 10 based ROMs for Moto Z2 Play?

There are no stable Pie or Q ROMs for Z2 Play unfortunately. Only GSI ones that are all more or less bugged and it seems like no developer is interested in this phone anymore. For stable ROMs you can choose only from 8.1 ones which are all quite outdated at this point as well. Anyway I use unofficial LineageOS 15.1 as daily driver for like 1,5 year now and have no complaints, it's absolutely rock solid and latest release has February 2020 security patches. Moto actions, Moto display (kinda, it's different than stock) and fingerprint gestures works.
But honestly I don't think there is much point in flashing custom rom now, especially if you have stock 9.0.

Pixel experience plus on Albus
I have flashed the Pixel Experience Plus Android 10 GSI on Albus by using the latest KVT 2.4 and it works like charm.
There are no major bugs, everything is working fine like basic functions and performance is awesome.
Only ambient display is not working, other than that almost everything is working fine and this GSI can be used as daily driver.
And magisk is also working.

Did anyone tried to install Erfan's Oxygen OS GSI on Albus???

Good to hear that pixel experience is working for you. I am based in india and none of gsi seem to provide volte functionality. Can you confirm that the rom you have tried is working with volte? Please provide the source of the pixel experience gsi you have tried. i have tried Erfans gsi, its same volte doesn't work. Thanks

Are there any good ROM's or GSI for RN8P?

Ive tried Cesium Pixel Havoc. No offence but they all have major problems? I find them unuseable. Does anyone know of a rom an can share the link for a rom for RN8P that actually can be used for a daily driver.
I am about to try my luck with Globe rom an Xiaomi.EU
The only thing ive found that works but I do not like Is Miui lol?
(no good for me as tiny status bar that even with a terminal emulator cannot be improved much).
I was hoping someone would take an interest an pick up this cellphone after 6 months but has not happened yet.
The good thing about RN8P is that I have found unbricking quite easy as the bootloader seems to remain permanently unlocked till you relock it.
Just a lack of ROMs

I think you have tried out the GSI roms mentioned on this thread:
"Full Guide on how to Unlock, Root, and flash GSI to Redmi Note 8 Pro"
Did you give AndyYan's LOS v17.1 a try yet?
If I fly over the Redmi Note 8 Pro test report on the phh treble page: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-8-Pro#hardware-support - it doesn't look that bad.
Unlike the custom roms even NFC seems to work. Major bug should be the camera.
I haven't installed any GSI yet because some of them use the Q vendor image. So I was too scared to mess around with it yet
My hopes rely on the custom roms.
They work hard to make progress.

I have tried AndyYan's Lineage OS 17.1 and I think that one worked the best in my experience. I have also tried Havoc OS 2.9 GSI but the battery life on that one sucked.

Upgrade GALAXY TAB S 10.5 SM-T800 to the most recent Android version possible

Hi all,
I am the old owner of this device and was wondering to which latest possible Android version can I update it. Even unofficially supported ofc. Currently running 6.1.
Any helper links are welcome.
Thank you.

Newer firmware doesn't necessarily make the device faster. There isn't much you can do about a 9 yr old device.
Since the T800/T805 are not Treble compliant, the only way to run newer firmware is via custom ROMs, although I doubt development on devices this old gets much attention.

So what I understand is there is not much to do with the tablet to make it a little bit faster.
What about root or that is a different matter?

Root is a different matter. In most cases, you can flash the Magisk app through TWRP, and Magisk will automatically detect the right way to root your device. If TWRP is not available, you'll need to patch the AP firmware file in Magisk, then flash to your device with Odin.

Would you be able to suggest which old tablets could make sense to flash semi-current roms onto? I tried to bring back some old device to reuse for home assistant display, but it's too old... Been thinking about these samsungs, but from this thread it's also a bit too old.

I don't have any suggestions, sorry. I have a Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (T290) at home that I'm running an AOSP GSI on, but those were released in 2018.

imho it's correct that a custom ROM doesn't necessarily make old devices faster, but I experienced it such that at least they don't get slower (except I9195).
Recently I was allowed to support development of Android 19=LOS 20 for my T325 and it runs like hell.
P600 and P900 on LOS14, T810 on LOS19 all using daily in different rooms.
I9195 on LOS18 (that is really laggy) N910F on LOS18 as backup devices.

Worth putting on a custom rom?

Just purchased one of these. Not many Roms here, does that mean it's not worth putting on a custom rom?
My current phone is a s7 edge with Superman Rom but I use Nova launcher anyway.
Stock rom with Nova is good enough?

LineageOs seems to be the best de-bloated. They have an Android v11 rom as well which i'm thinking about

LineageOS 18.1 tip already available for s10 +.

LinageOS, PixelExperience & EvolutionX are pretty much your options when it comes to de-bloated stock-like Roms
