Hi.
I'm digging the P9 Lite but I am not so keen about EMUI. I had a OP2 for a short while but found it too big and the screen was terribly washed out, but I thought the OS was excellent.
I would love it for someone to port OxygenOS to the P9 Lite. Whether that would ever happen who knows.
That's impossible. Oxygen OS is proprietary to OnePlus and their devices.
If you don't profit from it and its based on Linux surely you can modify it and distribute it?

It's not that... Oxygen OS is only available to OnePlus devices.

Hi Fellas,
Just wondered if anyone has or knows if there is a ROM that is as closest to stock Android or closer to the Samsung UI?
Ideally something like Oneplus 5, which uses a custom skin but is close to Stock.
I like the Xiaomi devices I just dislike MIUI.
Kind Regards,
Roger

If you want stock android, there are plenty of Treble GSI ROMs, or Lineage OS, and if you want skinned, I came across a galaxy tab S4 ROM ported to our mi pad 4 series. I haven't tried it yet though. My Mi Pad 4+ is still on its way to my arms. Got it from a local online store here in the Philippines.
Hey everyone!
If you have noticed a lot of the older Xiaomi models and some other phones successfully ran Android Q, of course with minor bugs.
So since Redmi will stop providing MIUI updates after MIUI 11, does anyone plan to develop and test newer android version ?
The GSI partition on this phone is just bad, it's not as flexible as other phones.
And there's hardly any chance to port future MIUI versions (tried to port for some other models, didn't boot ).
So do you think maybe it's high time to make up a proper custom ROM for this ?
MTK makes this task stupidly hard to achieve, i don't think we're getting further than treble anytime soon.

That's true, though some MTK devices did achieve full treble support.
I was looking into Xiaomi Qin 2, and I realized it's interface is damn beautiful. Don't know what it runs on but it sure looks nice. Kinda regret buying 6A for almost the same price. I would have gone for the Qin 2 instead. Of course, I don't think Mi is releasing the Qin 2 software or will it ever get ported ?
Extraordinary request or inquiry whether Graphene OS is compatible with Huawei P20 Pro. Or is this an all around compatible OS for all other Android phones (including G Pixels)?
Many thanks in advance.
I think it's exclusive to Google Phones...but I could be wrong.
Check out the website here. https://grapheneos.org/
does anyone have an idea if anybody is working on porting miui 13 to G. pixel7 & pro?
usually the google phones get miui within weeks of release of the phone, but i haven't heard
any news on any dev or group talking about working on the rom.
if you have any info on this, please do post what you know with links for us that are interested
to check the info plz.
Guess not
Seriously, why would you want that? Sure, tastes are different, but why would you put a bloated, overstyled, ad-infected and closed source (MIUI Apps and Kits) ROM/OS on a Pixel device which comes with pure Android out of the box? MIUI was once a great ROM and a lot of fun... from 2010 to 2015 or '16 maybe. By now it's something I would really avoid. I understand if folks like Graphene OS, Lineage OS, ROMs based on AOSP on their Pixels. But hell no, I would not desecrate a Pixel with MIUI, Color OS... anything that comes from Xiaomi or BBK Electronics.

Happy to elaborate! Stock OS 13 sucks balls. OnePlus is the only company I seen as of yet who is able to keep the much desired options and functions intact. Android 13 overhauled the entire UI and continued the stupid trend of big, flashy, dumb and hidden , that all systems and devices tend to have. Making everything bigger, harder to find and remove functions that many powers users love is the common trend. I'm up for trying a new ROM that mimicks OnePlus that could potentially give more function and features back. I've never tried MIUI yet but praying for changing out.

You may not have noticed, but BBK Electronics is the company behind Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, Realme und iQOO and their stock ROMs are going to have or have the same base, which will or has change(d) things for Oxygen OS. BBK is a big ass company, and the Oxygen OS from the original OnePlus has lost it's soul when Oppo merged with OnePlus. BBK is up to max profits, so they try to save money on development and Oxygen OS / Color OS and all that stuff will be (almost) the same I guess. I had a OnePlus 9, and when I realized they did not implement OIS on the regular 9 to upsell the pro model it was the deathblow after being annoyed by the newer OnePlus stuff. I had a Realme GT 2 Pro, and those ROMs are OKish, but having a Pixel somehow feels more like the real thing.
Regarding Xiaomi/MIUI ... why do people get a Pixel 7 and not a Mi 12 Pro, if they prefer some bloated kindergarten OS like MIUI? I had the first MIUI ROMs on my HTC desire back then, was an admin of 2 german MIUI forums, translating the ROM and what not, but as Xiaomi got bigger the overall concept of MIUI/Xiaomi went down the drain and I started to avoid Xiaomi. Sure, they got a lot of cool gadgets and stuff, but screw that company for so many reasons.
Just read today, that the first nightly of Lineage OS is available for Panther... maybe give that one a try before wishing for MIUI. If there would be a MIUI ROM for the newer Pixels, let's hope it would be based on the xiaomi.eu ROM.
Why not just buy a xiaomi phone. I used to love MIUI and Xiaomi things, but not now. I like Xiaomi 13 and will not buy pixel 7 if Xiaomi 13 has some custom rom with well support

Good info but most probably, like myself, pixel choice for the hardware, bands and plethora of accessories.
