Hi!
I recently bought an Mi A2, even though I knew of his problem history. I just wanna know if it's still dangerous to buy and update the Mi A2, because that's what I did and now I'm a little afraid of losing it. (Because of the problems you already know)
And also, if it is not safe to update, I was advised to use the MiUI ROM in it. About this advise, what do you guys think?
Sorry for the Google Translator's English and thanks in advance.
What problem exactly??

If you are prepared to do flashing, I recommend havoc instead of converting to MIUI. Latest version has minimal bugs (Netflix not working if you don't flash permissive zip). Problem with slow memory is also fixed in this rom, dt2w works, no screen bleeding issues, quick charge works.

This just happened to me man. Im not sure if id recommend this phone again...
I have been using the 6GB and 4GB variant the day it was launched because our parent company is LOOP telecom china and staff brings phones with them from china and till now i have no problem except software update bugs , the phone is designed very diligently .
Although there isnt much development for A2 as compare to A1 yet A2 is the best designed smartphone after moto z slim.
I love slim phones and loving A2.

Almost every single ROM here is stable enough for daily uses, use one of them that suits you, don't need to think about Network Issues.
i prefer custom ROM based MIUI just like Xiaomi Eu / MiuiPRO / MiuiGlobe in your case for network
Use rr Luis, using it for months no problem faced, good customisation and battery backup, use clarity v2.0 custom kernel for good battery backup

Oh. I never faced that problem, neither many of us. So I can't help with the matter. If you still want to use custom ROMs, try RR Luis build as the upper one said or try another one, if the problem still exists and you still want to use custom ROM, then contact the developer with proper details. Or change to MIUI based ROM, as the upper one said.
*Also try to flash the latest firmware.
Ya looks like im the only one facing this problem such a bummer it is. Thanks for the reply though

Hi , sorry this might be off topic, but does anyone know if it would be possible to port any Redmi note 4 Rom Official or Cutom, to the PPTV King 7 device? As this has the same chip and is practically the same. I would really love to learn how to port Roms from one device to another, but have only flashing Rom experience.
If anyone knows if iit in fact this would be possible to do and any starting points, please can you pm me.
Again sorry if i have butted into this thread off topic.

Just a quick question. I can't seem to get GSI's to boot on my note 9. Had no problems running any pie based GSI on my s9 plus. Is there a specific vendor I need to use on the note 9 for treble?
Any help would be appreciated

did you find anything that works?
I tried Lineage, RRemix and OmniRom. all were working fine but all had the same brightness bug, stock camera also flickers & green screens when taking video, I dont remember on which rom.
I also tried pixel experience, the brightness was stuck on high, better than nothing, so if you want to use it you can give it a shot.
From @Dil3mm4 on his GSI rom built
The problems you will face with Descendant are the same that you may face on any other ROM based over Phh work.
So, don't blame me, blame your OEM about their poor Treble implementation

From @phhusson comment on note 9 brightness bug issue
Thanks for the report. Nice to have AOSP directly working on that
Brightness should be fixed in next release. I might forget to integrate it, please complain if i do.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you are not a noob like me, you might find the files to flash on his github, since it looks like fixed, just waiting on his next rom release for these roms..
Reporting Bugs to @phhusson will help, probably least we can do, he mentioned creating Issue here
I will also do myself after testing more.
thing is the more people use it and report bugs, I believe it'll be a smoother experience for people who flash GSI roms later on the note9, and a great thanks to @phhusson, redoing samsungs lousy work. he deserves a huge thanks from the community.
Actually today I tried one more ROM, it from the same dev phhusson, here is the link
not only it is Android 9, it is stable enough to be used as a daily driver, I moved to it, Didnt want to post until I was sure.
So everything works, wifi, BT, hotspot, Sim, SD, Brightness Control, Mic, The Spen works as a mouse, HDMI, Fingerprints ..etc
what I found is buggy:
- the camera app(green flicker): you can use a third party camera app
- when you open the camera in Messaging to attach something.
One drawback to consider is Android P doesnt support Xposed yet. back to waiting for xposed support! =(
in fact I might keep using this, until Lineage OS 15.1 GSI gets fixed.

I have not. I've tried all the roms you've tried with the same results. I don't really have much time to tinker with roms now a days due to work but maybe some time next week I'll start a bounty to spark things up. The hardware on the Note 9 is just begging to be tampered with lol and it being the first Note with Treble Support really is "The Next Big Thing" :victory:

Rom is still running smooth. Got an update notification today. Any changelog available?
Thanks for supporting this device.
I just a bit surprised that so little is going on here within the mi pad forum. ?

Hi, I'm really interested in purchasing this tablet (I am a big fan of redmi phones). I was a bit reluctant with the lack of a true global ROM being available and there was nothing on xda last time I checked. But it appears someone has been quite busy developing for this. Have you only tried the havoc ROM? Is everything still running OK for you? If so, I'm thinking I will make the purchase. Any other feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

In the beginning I had the global Rom running which also was smooth, but since I am using Havoc on all my other devices I switched also on my Mi Pad. The rom runs stable. Had no problems, random reboots or other stuff like that. Rom runs fast and I hope the community for the device will grow, because the device has an awesome price performance ratio! :laugh::good:

Thanks for the quick response. I think I will be purchasing soon, just waiting for a deal on the 128gb version. I can get the 64gb for a decent price atm, so very tempted to grab that instead.
I recently got the redmi note 6 Pro, I have only unlocked bootloader not long ago. Couldn't decide on which ROM to try first, but I have had a couple people recommend the havoc ROM, so I think I will go with that. Then I can have the same on the tablet when I get it.
I really hope to see a bigger community for this tablet too. Thanks again.

Yes you can do (dirty flashing) with no problems.
Hi, as this is my first time flashing anything, I want to be sure I am doing everything right. I have Mi Pad 4 Plus, already unlocked. To use adb and fastboot I need dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip right? Then to flash recovery, I rename the file from your link and do: fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img -> fastboot.exe boot recovery.img. Should I also flash new firmware osdn.net/projects/xiaomifirmwareupdater/storage/Stable/V10/clover/? Should I do it like normal ROM flashing using recovery? I was thinking of using Mokee or HavocOS, in case I would prefer to stay with Mokee, your instructions are good, I just do not flash Havoc over Mokee? I am still not decided which one I should install. Also in future if a new version of ROM comes out ,as my partition would be already changed, I would not need to repeat these steps? Also do ''forceencrypt on /data'' means that I should 'encrypt device using screen lock password' in Android OS? I am not quire sure I understand this step. Also where do I exactly 'Settings General= Use rm -rf instead of formatting'? Browsing though old root/flash tutorials I noticed some of them mention tools like: no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip/Universal DM-Verity and ForceEncrypt Disabler/Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt. Are they still needed in any case? I want to flash open gapps and magisk root. Sorry if it seems stupid, I just could not find anything step by step that is actual, some older guides recommend supersu and as I understand it is a thing of a past now.

Personally I like Xiaomi.EU the best, it is always the most up to date, uses the latest source code and there are no issues with anything, battery life is outstanding. Absolutely there are many great roms, but for me is the most consistently stable.
If you try it, use the built in kernel, and it works fine with the latest magisk Canary.

If you need MIUI than xiaomi.eu is best option, if you need AOSP with extra gimmicks than you can consider HavocOS, if you need pure Pixel experience than PixelRom or Pixel Experience is your best bet. But there are several roms out there you can check but this is my own opinion and you asked for it :laugh:

Without a doubt, one of those custom roms custom roms has corrupted one of your partitions .
You need to use a fast-food ROM and restore your phone, Use Mi Flash make sure the bootloader box is not checked or use Adb.
Note: A recovery ROM will not fix your issue it has to be a fastboot "images" ROM. Images will be in the name of the file.
Afterwards you can flash this ROM and no longer have those issues.

Sorry, but you'll have to test them by yourself and pick one that works for you... what suits me probably won't suit you. The features that I use the most probably are not as important to you, and probably the things that are important to you I don't use as much in order to say they are stable. The apps I use probably are not the same as you, the signal strength, the carrier, the charger, the bluetooth devices, the root method, magisk modules or even if you are not going to root.
I'm enjoying the PE+ rom, but I did many tweaks to it and it works for me, but there are many people facing really annoying bugs that makes it a no go. So there isn't an easy answer for what you are looking for.

wow what kind of useless responses are those? He didnt say what is the best one, he asked what is the most stable dudes.
Hi! I tried most of them, PE+, HavocOS, AICP, LINEAGE, in my case the most stable and daily driver is Havoc OS, there is one problem on all of them for me, my banking app wont run on modded rom's so i reverted to miui, android one.
There is trial and error, some might work from start, some are harder to make them run ok, without any crashes. The fastest one i found was Pixel Experience+, the most stable one, Lineage OS(be carefull, it doesnt support google apps from the box), and the one which does any task well, good battery and stability in my case, was Havoc OS.

Lol, no.
Stock has serious bootloop issues between updates.
If you're staying on stock you should still unlock bootloader, just in case. And backup important data before updates.

Which Android version? I am on 10 and never had a boot loop after update but I always do it manually using fastboot.
I've also stripped Stock down to the bare-bones - no Google anything, except Play Services, Phone and Contacts and everything seems to work OK with no crashes ever.
I concur with your bootloader unlock advice.

Root using Magisk, then use something like link2SD to get rid of the bloat. I always freeze the unwanted Apps instead of deleting them.
