fully compatible gsi rom

Hello all.
Im really tired of miui roms and i cant find a descent non miui custom rom for our device. I already tried havoc os gsi but notch is not detected and thats a problem for daily use.
Does anybody know what gsi works fully on our phone?
Resurection arrow octupos or?!
Or atleast a way for havoc os to detect notch?(i already tried the zip that someone posted in mod section but no result)
I think my question is the question of a lot of mi 8 se user.

Hi,
Havoc 2.0 has notch problem but havoc 2.2 is out now. Even its unofficial, you can try and report it here. If you want to wait for official, it will be out after march sevurity patches released.
Unofficial (Gapps inside)

GSI trebble roms VS roms from mix2 roms forum category?

hello, i have seen that our MIX2 is listed under supported phones
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki
more infos here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/
anyone have tried those Pie gsi's? are they working with no bugs? what's the pros and cons?
And by using those GSI do it mean that you can use newer firmwares and hardware drivers then the ones shipped in our custom roms?
thanks !

In theory will the Mix 2 be able to tun GSIs. All it needs is at least a Oreo Vendor Partition and a Recovery who supports Treble (A/AB). I will test it this Week but i would wait for official Pie from Xiaomi to have a updated Pie Vendor Part which should solve many Problems (Like possible non working Hardware (NFC, Camera, Baseband etc.))

I've been using the unofficial Pixel Experience GSI for months. It's been way less buggy than any device-specific ROM - would definitely recommend.

Have you or anyone else booted a Android 10 GSI on Chiron? I've had no luck and tried 58 different things. Guessing we need a different boot and vendor than we used on Pie maybe..? Idk I see mix 2 isn't oem supported. I'm dying to boot DerpFest. Found a Aonly 64bit GSI over on telegram about a week ago. I sure hope we will be able to use 10 GSIs. Would be great!

Any news about android 10 roms for mi5?

are developers interested in building android 10 roms for mi 5 or its time for me to buy a new phone?​

Phh AOSP android 10 treble rom is already released. Pixel experience android 10 beta is already out. It's still pretty new, give them some time, there's gonna be plenty.

Thanks for your reply,
I couldn't find pixel experience android 10 rom for mi5 and the los17 gemini repository in github is inactive

Unofficial los 17 rom for mi5 is here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/rom-lineageos-17-0-xiaomi-mi-5-t3981841

Ya, LOS is there I can see. No thread for PE-10 yet. I've found that on several Mi5 channels on telegram. Monstermite made a youtube video as well, you can check. May be we're gonna get some other Android-10 based roms for our almost 4 years old device in upcoming days..which is pretty cool I guess.

What's the current status on this, what's the most stable, complete (i.e. everything works) and featureful ROM for Redmi 8?
I'm at the dawn of my phone's custrom age, and you could save me some pain if you'd tell me your opinion. What's the best one for daily use, if you like fancy things and hate things not working?

unfortunately for us the only way to know is to try them all out since theyre all still new (@skittels15 and @IAmDeadlylxrd ). download and usage stats do say hundreds, but many of users arent here. itd be much better if they were all encouraged to join the XDA and share their experiences but yeah, what else can we do?
im currently on crdroid 07-05 and honestly i find it stable enough for daily usage (i dont play games on droids). apart from 100% 'my bads' i havent noticed anything major, @mrjoker18 has tried a ton of them though.
and honestly with the current ROM devs, id suggest to not try GSIs

To answer my own question: I'm on the SakuraOS official ROM for the past few days, and it is literally flawless. Everything works down to the tiniest stuffs, no glitches despite my serious tweaking and testing, and it's super smooth, pretty and customizable. SafetyNet works too.
Frankly, it feels like a proper manufacturer OS. Better than the original MIUI.
I also tried DotOS before it for a week, which was nice, but had a few glitches. GPS didn't work, couldn't record video with the included camera app, and I had some random reboot and freezes. I also prefer SakuraOS's look TBH.

Аll @IAmDeadlylxrd's and my roms tested and not have critical bugs and recommended for daily use. Don't panic about bugs. And all roms tested by maintainers and some users from our Telegram-communities. All roms is tested before release to public.
About DotOS: this rom have bugged sourcecode. All device-specified bugs was fixed long time ago in device tree. All roms have only rom's source-specified bugs.

Question Best android 13 rom?

Hey guys I’m thinking of flashing a android 13 custom Rom long term. Which one is the best ?

Android 13?, Do you mean Miui 13?, if A13 then i dont think many have installed them as theres only a couple available, very early days as yet, if you search through questions im sure someone else asked about A13 roms and testing them.

Try Project Elixir 3.0 or EvoX 7.1

I like crdroid

Up to now crDroid is running under Android 12 and not yet under Android 13.

first, you have to decide between aosp or miui based ROMs

EvoX 7.1 is pretty cool

For me I prefer Project Elixir
It is more stable than Evox and better battery life

I agree with You but PE 3.0 is still a beta version.
If you are missing features the best you can do is to inform the developer.

Thank You for this information.

Never understand why people are so keen to flash a A13 rom that's not anywhere stable at the moment as much as Devs say it is stable. Is it just for the sake of having the lastest Android version but dealing with bugs everyday.
cDroid 12.1
PixelOs 12.1
CherishOs 12.1
Everything else will give you endless headaches and 3 hours of reconfiguring your phone after you realise that a A13 build is a POS right now.

not true, i am currently using cherishOS 4.0.5 android 13 now few days. Didn't found any major bug, rom running smooth as pixelOS a12. Normal stuff like, playing normal games, voice calling, social media and watching videos no issues even the battery backup is also good. Devs put lot of efforts for us. A13 cherishOS is a great rom to be used as daily driver. thanks i hope this helps for someone.

It's relative, devs test roms on us for their learning and we sometimes like what we get. What I've observed over 7 years of using customs roms is that devs are less interested in bringing a ROM development to real stability, what has become important is "let's be first" hence this rush to port roms to the newest android version. Except for cDroid every ROM for RN10 Pro is a pixel port there's no real bespoke elements. I guess unlimited photo storage is the thing people want here. That's my take.

i do not know about others. I am also using custom roms and phone software customization for more than 11 years. On who else other then a user devs will test there rom for early testing of bugs or any other issue, (apple also releases several beta version to user's to test there ios (6-7 beta) and then release the final build to public). not all roms are stable that i agree. there are specific roms like for gaming for battery for overall stability. It's user choice to test roms or listen to other user's review and then install rom according to there needs. many mobile companies just launch phone and then do not provide proper software update support, like micromax, xiaomi, redmi, samsung(before) etc.. ASOP custom rom extends the life of a phone(like poco f1, redmi k20 pro, redmi note 5 pro and many many others). Whatever the reason is but in the end user's are getting more without any hard work and yes devs will also think about themselves too and they deserves it. Devs have to meet the user's demand so i think yeah they rush to port to latest android version and also devs have a year to stable the rom for us before another android version google releases. not even google's own android 13 is bug free, it has many many bugs which user's face in there costly pixel devices. so yeah these bugs will also come to custom roms.
