Android P GSI for MI 8 SE? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Did anyone test it? Is it possible to use Android P on the device without any problem? I want to buy this phone really badly, but I do not see any custom rom development for this device so this is what keeps me back from buying it.

If MIUI can do It..why can't we ?

If MIUI can let the users load a Windows Phone OS on their device, since it is a forked Android OS..why can't we do it too on our Xperias and HTCs...can't we learn something from it? I am still dying to load it on my Lenovo K900 ...

MIUI is way different than roms of HTC and Sony devices..so, doing this on other phones is not possible

Is it possible to install two roms in the Xiaomi Mi A2?

TL;DR: I wanted to install an Android 9 Rom on my phone alongside the stock Android 10 Rom in order to use GLTools.
So, the question is basically on the title. But the reason that I want to install two Roms on my phone is GLTools. Since GLTools' developer didn't release an Android 10 compatible version of his app while it was under development, Thus can't use it, since my phone is on the latest firmware. Now, I mainly wanted to play Fortnite on my phone (Please don't judge me?). I'm open to other solutions tho, like any GLTools alternative compatible with Android 10. (Ps. Phone is rooted with Magisk)
AFAIK, Dual boot custom ROMs were possible on some devices but that was before introduction of SAR A/B Devices. While theoretically, newer devices have separate A/B partitions and hence could have separate ROMs I believe it is an issue of shared libraries/partitions being used by the device which might mess up things.
But then I am neither a developer nor a gamer so the entire theory could be wrong !

So, to be short, All I needed to do was install Havoc OS and now the game is installing. No idea why, but, It works!

In stock 10 rom?

Question Lineage OS for Mate X2 ?

Hi everyone,
is there somewhere an android alternative custom rom for our phones ? Like Lineage or else ?
I am not a big fan of emui nor harmony OS. And I would be very pleased to use a stock android or a light custom rom.
Thanks for you help.
no it's not possible with huawei
Definitely not, that requires a rooted fone first and foremost. If you're not a big fan of emui or harmony why get a Huawei device?

Because there is no competition for this phone (hardware wise) today. It seems to me to be the best phone to date.....and i could live with some software limitations. But I was hoping for an alternative rom :/

General Best Custom Rom to replace the bad MIUI

Hi all
I think after the bad MIUI 13 update , it is clear that we will not be able to use the full potential of the hardware without any bugs .
So I hope that we will be able to flash a custom Rom soon .
For me ColorOS will be very good
Please share your opinion .
I share your frustration with MIUI and am also patiently waiting for anything.
I have tried a few GSI roms without successfully booting, now I'm on xiaomi.eu rom and the frustration is making me think about switching to my old phone with PixelExperience on it. The experience is way smoother.
I would be happy with AOSP though since it's a nice starting point for any ROM development/porting. I wonder if someone is already working on it.
amen to that. anything but this chinese bull****. hope something good comes out soon

xiaomi.eu miui13.0.4 is the best for MI 11t pro. u dont even need twrp just unlocked bootloader. the bat file will flash itself. its based on global but its way ahead. less rom usage, no ads, less storage usage , custom dialer and boot mode, can use themes from outside and a lot more. i m using it now on my 11t pro. u wont find anything better i bet.

Really are you sure?

Question Why there is no custom rom for this phone?

It's because still new? or the Developers look at the user is still too few?
Anybody could answer this? Thank you
There's custom ROMs coming, hopefully soon.
There's a few factors for why none is out now but main reason is that the device is still pretty new and has official Android 12 coming which would cause a lot of additional work to do if the ROM developer started with Android 11.

No custom rom?
If you had looked on the first page of the 11T pro thread, you would have seen Xiaomi Eu and an AOSPA rom Alpha version.
