Same thought. Or is Mi A2 not really worth buying? ?
Hi,
Since the Mi a2 is treble compatible, you actually don't need a strong development community to run custom tomorrow anymore. Go simply with a Generic System Image

The device has literally been out for one month and the kernel sources have been released just last week. Do you have any idea how long a custom rom takes? Also no one want s to develop a 8.1. rom when there is pie just around the corner for our device.

Hi everybody!
I'm fairly new to Mi phones and this might fit better in the rom forum, but does anyone know if there's work on a stock Nougat/Marshmallow rom for the Mi Mix? And if so, how soon my might be released?
Thanks!

Xiaomi differentiates their product by their MIUI skin. Marshmallow is the core of MIUi 8, I suspect they'll bring out MIUI 9 in the first quarter of 2017.
I'm hoping we get CM or AOSP for the Mix before then. That would be sweet

Hi everybody,
I ordered my Mi 5x that should be here in less than a week. I've seen there is guides to Root it, install TWRP and potentially put custom roms on it (I've seen a few ones around).
But I was wondering if it's possible to install a Stock Android 7.1 rom on the Xiaomi Mi 5x? Could not find any article or post talking about that (sorry if I missed it).
If not is there a list of custom roms for the Mi 5x somewhere?
Thanks and have fun with your day!
/////////////////////// 10/26/2017 UPDATE (for those who just got there from google searchs) ///////////////////////
It happened thanks to heli0us from en.miui.com and @[B]Aex12[/B] who ported Mi A1 Android One Rom to Mi 5x. Works like a charm.
Last version [7.10.14] can be downloaded and flashed from here ⇩
> https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5x/development/rom-android-one-port-mi5x-t3692244
BUT you'll need to unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP for Tiffany first though.

Probably the ROM from the Mi A1 will work in the Mi 5X. It's the same phone.

Yeah just saw the release of that one. That would be really awesome. Like having a Nexus for 200€ (with 64gb of memory, 4gb of RAM and a Snapdragon 625).
For sure. There are some buzzing that the Nexus is back. [emoji23][emoji41]

I hear you dude, I ordered the Mi 5x basically 4 days before the announcement of Mi A1 release.
bootloader cant be unlocked at the moment
...And now they are stopping people from unlocking the bootloader.
You can find a sticky post about it on the english miui forum complaints/advice subforum titled "Important Announcement About Unlocking Bootloader For Mi 5X & Redmi Note 5A"
which says:
In order to enhance our mobile security, the unlocking mechanism for the following devices is being updated currently. The affected devices are Mi 5X and Redmi Note 5A/Prime. During this period, Mi 5X and Redmi Note 5A/Prime owners won't be able to unlock the device. Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. Sorry for any inconvenience caused and we'll update you guys soon.
That was posted 16th Sept and was the last that was heard about it.

Mi 5x and android A1 is same hardware phone but different by internal memory partition and a few things. Bu we can use A1 modified but pure none touched system resource ROM in our Mi 5x. Already relesed.
With the impossibility of unlocking the bootloader there's no option of flashing the Mi A1 ROM. We need to wait.

Try now, unlocking process will be success now. My friend did yesterday.
Yeah. Well I guess that would be true if I could unlock my stupid bootloader... I feel like mi 5x users are not receiving much love from Xiaomi...
EDIT : oh wait apparently it reopened for some Russians users! Gonna try it!
So I want to know if this phone has seamless update (A/B Partition) like Mi A1?
And since released out of the box with Android Oreo, is the Treble Support confirmed?
Yes and yes. I'm not sure about 1st, but treble is necessary for launching Oreo phones... If a1 had seamless update this new model too..
Mi A2 has both A/B partitions system and Treble support.
Thanks for the answers guys. :good:
Mi A2 is confirmed jasmine_sprout and Mi A2 lite is confirmed daisy_sprout. Both are A/B devices. I have already added them to the list of devices with A/B support.
I was hoping I can easily turn my 6X into a A2... Now my dreams shattered.

Is it the whole Pixel like deal? Like A/B partition for seamless system updates? And Treble should be applicable to only one partition right? Sorry I don't have much knowledge about it.

Is it totally impossible to re-partition a device?

Mi A2 has A/B partition, but the device has some bugs on GSI Roms. You can find more info about this here

Maybe possible.
But the firmware ARB lock is not fun, not want to get into another HARDBRICK again.
Also I used to read that converting a 6X into A2 might not necessary get automatic update.
Anyway, I finally come to realise Android One or AOSP isn't what I want anymore, I prefer the privacy security feature in LineageOS offering - Having moving from Mi 5 running LineageOS 15.1 and Nokia 8 with Android One.
And I don't really need to have this A/B feature, have it on Nokia 8, it's a nifty to have, not a must have. If you play with custom ROM, you prolly know how to backup and restore your phone, A/B is for people who doesn't want to face that.

Why isn't there any custom rom development for the Mi 8 SE? I really wanted to buy this phone for the amazing design & hardware in this price but don't like MIUI that much
So, is there any possibility of rom development for this phone in future?

I believe is should be ''yes" rom based on AOSP or LineageOS..etc
you mean that so? someone will make that thing for it. cuz source kernel for it is ready and released, many user xda or miui 4rum using this device.
But, one very important thing "Trebel running as well on almost devices and mi8se is also supported by this project and using some rom in the project treble, running quite stable and less bugs''.
So many one users mi8se here, there are a lot of reasons to believe this. it will comming soon , just patience to waiting.

I'm interested also in Pixel Experience, we can try the GSI but it haven't received any updates since the last month. And for gcam, you can try any Mi 9T version, the camera modules are exactly the same
