I think I will get this device and I'd like to know what can we expect about developing on this device. Can we expect a good developing in the future with nice aosp-based roms? Have the sources been released? If not, will be released?
Thanks
Kernel sources were released some month's ago, as far as I know. But no developing at the moment, I guess.

I've been wondering this too. I'm upgrading to P10 after weekend and worried there still seems to be so little development for this device.
Coming from LG G4 which only allowed EU & US T-Mobile to unlock bootloader so there was very little development there really, although more than there is here at the moment...
Well the stock rom is great, so all you really need is root and debloat. I've debloated mine and running pixel launcher with all the standard google Apps. The phone is amazing as it is really.
I'm sure I won't go down the route of rooting in first month or so anyway (because I can't figure out if unlocking bootloader voids warranty or not, and if so if re-locking reinstates) but it is handy even if just for adblock, adverts a lot of places become much too intrusive on a lot of sites, especially on a mobile and with limited data.

Could you write a list of all the apps you managed to remove safely?
Do you think it's safe to remove all google apps?
There are lots of things to know, starting of the bootloader (warranty). Maybe stock is great, but AOSP lovers want Lineage hehe! Do we have root methods? I'm coming from a Xperia M2, which at first has null developing but nos de have really good and stable ROMS, and whats more, today we got Oreo

Hi all,
I really like the look of the Mi 5, but have been reading of various bugs and poor battery life on custom roms. Just wondering what the consensus is on buying this phone with the explicit purpose of flashing it over to Lineage or and AOSP based rom. Cheers
Hii Joseph
Even though its a great device, custom rom support for mi5 is really poor. Buy nexus/ pixel or oneplus 3 since they got great custom rom support.
Marshmallow ROMs are absolutely fantastic and bug free. It's the nougat ROMs that are buggy.
I'd say buy it and manage on marshmallow until nougat gets better.

I must say that even the latest unofficial LineageOS 14.1 build is more stable than MIUI8 ever was for me (Yes, I'm aware that MIUI8 isn't stable either, but it has a few months head start in beta). But yes, if LTE B20 isn't a requirement (no info on when/if that'll be cracked), then absolutely.
LineageOS on my mi5 is almost as good as on my Nexus 5.
RR is an amazing ROM for the Mi5. At the moment I started using it, I was amazed. It has great performance and tons of custom features.
Yep is no need to install cm[lienageOS] becouse when you buy Xiaomi, you do it for miui os. Which is verry modified system with a lot of ability and funcionality.

Using this topic as an oportunity to ask to those who uses Custon ROMs is any camera that can be compare to MIUI official camera app? SnappCamera perhaps?

I felt no real difference between MI an the most recent LineageOSbuild. I know it's still inofficial, but I use it perfectly fine as a daily driver. Nothing to complain at all.
Most recent builds can be found on shade's mirror https://mirror.shade.sh/mi5/
bgcngm will announce official builds as soon as they are available.
I just bought myself an amazing Mi Mix. I just don't understand why nougat is not available yet for our phones but they are planning to upgrade it to Oreo. Anyone knows of we will get nougat or just jump to Oreo on the Mi Mix and any eta?

To be honest,I am disappointed in Xiaomi even Meizu is pushing updates faster in their budget mNote series it's been quite a while since MIUI9 only on developer rom only [emoji22][emoji22]

I thought with a phone with those specs and the high price, Xiaomi would be a little faster to push updates and keep it up to date but like every other brand, they want you to buy their latest model. They want your money and then you are left behind

Install the Eu Rom Miui 9,it is a Beta,but the fastest Rom for Mi Mix and all works fine.
Hi!
So I'm wondering if there is an ongoing developement of AOSP or LinageOS or other atlernatives for the Mi8, and if we will see any official beta release anytime soon?
I'm sick and tired of miui and all the system apps that's impossible to remove, and they keep fighting back to be default app. Grr! I would very much like a cleaner build, and would gladly be a beta tester. Although my experience from Mi5 is that miui felt more responsive than the linageos nightlies, I would rather have that and be able to choose my own apps.
Would I be even better off with this new Treble stuff?
Load MIUI 10 onto it, or global MIUI 9. Have no issues with default apps on MIUI 10. Had that with the original MIUI 9 China-rom though.

Are you able to remove all the Mi apps? Video, wallet, app store etc?
The fact is that I'm most fond of as close to stock android I can get, which is why I want AOSP. If it was possible to build AOSP on my own and still get camera, GPS and stuff to work as it should, then I'd do that.
I think it's better to have a rom built without bloat, rather than try to hide it afterwards.

Can you guide us into this MIUI 10 thing? I have china rom and unlock bootloader. No Root/TRWP or anything.
Just follow the steps here; https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/8-7-12-v2.44949/
You need TWRP.
Or wait till sources are released and there will probably be development available for AOSP/Lineage.
I have installed a treble rom (I think the RR one). The rom is working well but I went back to MIUI as Oreo doesn't support the notch yet.

Cool, was everything else than the notch working as it should? The notch is not important to me..
Aosp would be very good, always my first choice to use. Lineage can wait [emoji3]
Hope we have devs who waiting to cook the stock roms[emoji3] Otherwise I have to sell my mi8 and buy a OnePlus6[emoji26]

Dude, I'm just like you.
Currently running MIUI10 beta from Xiaomi.eu though. It's not perfect or as close to AOSP/Lineage yet but it's a TON better!
Ok Google still doesn't work & it's still on 8.1 though but it's still better than the MIUI9 mess

how do you install it? i'm trying to install pixel experience but i can't, i only have bootloop :'(
I'm sick of this buggy Android one "experience". I wanna flash a custom Rom but guess how many exist for the A2. 0 Roms exist. None. I know I should be patient, but it doesn't even seem like there will be official lineage os for this phone. Are there no developers for this phone? (outside of the hex kernel developer, thanks for developing the kernel!) It sucks that all the attention was taken away from the A2 by the Poco.
Edit: I'm not fond of the idea of converting to 6x.

Just out of curiosity, If you want so much a custom ROM, why don't you develop It yourself? Don't you think it's a bit too much to complain that no one took their free time and knolowedge to make your free roms?
That are so many people complaining that I'm seriously thinking of developing one and charging for It. How much would you pay for It?
Stock rom is full of bugs. Also it is not pure android it has some hidden bloatware (mi store etc).

Good question. I have no experience in rom developing or any kind of developing. I guess it does sound a bit selfish. But it's just that this is a nice phone and it doesn't have much development. Heck even my ZTE Blade V6 and Huawei p9 lite had more rom development.
I've never considered how much I'd spend on a rom. So I don't really have an answer.

For the MIA1 we have had to wait around 1 year for official lineage and around 8 month for unofficial version...
It will come for the A2, but not today.
And idem, no bloatware in my A2...

same here, I will wait for that day to come... I already unlocked bootloader (not fastboot unlock critical).. my earliest plan is to change to treble rom... but since it's pretty buggy here and there based on the comments that I've read , I canceled my plan and will wait for official pie update,or official custom rom such as lineage, arrow os or resurrection remix to come to our device, I will appreciate it ?

Caping isn't a bloatware, it's a preinstalled app on phones planned to be sold on taiwan market.
It isn't preinstalled in all phones, you can read this in the thread about this.
No need to install a 3rd party launcher, for example I use easyshortcut maker to explore inside my phone.
Usually people buy android one phones because they don't want custom roms I guess. They want stock Android

Look at how much development the mi a1 got tho.
Just a quick question. Isn't there loads of ROMs for this device or why is there a whole section about it named Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development ?

Read the thread and you'll find the answer.
In short, no, there are none A2 specific ROMs in that thread and only one custom kernel. Others require you to convert to 6X or are Treble ROMs.
since mi a2 has project treble support, so why not you visit project treble thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble
Before official pie comes to a2, I managed to try pixel experience, aosp extended and arrow os from that thread..
Hi Guys,
just got my new A2 and i am a bit confused. It has a Mi Services App running for opt in and some other Mi App installed which i cannot uninstall. Do i have the right Android Version? I did an OTA update but that hasn't changed the fact
If i don't want those apps, which Android 9 ROM can you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

Mi services are an opt in component. They are used by mi to collect some user experience info so as to improve upon the product.
The other mi app is the mi community app which is like any other forum found in companies like one plus etc. That too can be uninstalled... Other then that, this is pure android.
Trust me, stay on stock as long as you are getting updates.... there's no reason to switch to custom roms so soon

what about bugs? Everyone is saying differnet things
I heard android 9 havoc has almost no bugs, thats why i was thinking 9
you can disable those apps with adb commands keeping the stock rom (cant remember exactly how but it's definetly possible)
the apps are providing the feedback function (so you can report bugs if you find any) and support for the camera app - which is the miui camera instead of the stock android. (you can always install another camera app and use that instead)
