Gapps with aosp - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

Hi all, quick question.
I was using the online tool to install android 11 and I accidentally installed basic AOSP R.
Needless to say it was blazingly fast... Is it possible to get the playstore for Android 11 AOSP?
I don't really use ANY of the custom features on this phone and I would rather the most barebone OS install possible while still being able to install play store apps.

[Question] ¿The best nougat stock/debloated/light rom?

EDIT: Sorry, wrong subforum, I meant to post this on the Redmi4x / Santoni subforum.
Greetings, I think this is my first post here (sorry, I'm still practicing my english and this post may have horrible mistakes).
Currently I'm using the latest version of MIUI (9.x I think), but as much as I love this phone I've always been in love with the performance and customization... and this phone has a hell of a bloatware.
I'm aware of the latest Oreo roms and I know recently Xiaomi has released the source code for the santoni phone but still no rom is perfect, specially the Oreo ones, so I'm looking for the closest aosp/stock experience I can get with full compatibility, I think a nougat based rom will do fine but wich one?
I'm planning to install a rom, install greenify, have a good battery life, have more free space and still have full camera, gps and other compatibility with no issues.
Wich rom could you recommend me?
Thanks in advance.

Aex official Oreo or pixel experience
Mi-Globe MIUI based on the latest official or developer release. Can be customised to your needs.
Working beautifully and you can remove all the leftover MI crap with system app remover, free from the store.
None of the 3rd party ROMs have the excellent battery life as MIUI unfortunately.
Google search Loup 14.1 for santoni.
It is by noyer,father of development on santoni.
For some reason he isn't on XDA but his ROM is what you need you can follow him on github and twitter though.He even managed to port Sailfish Os for Santoni. I'm using Loup 14 with clarity kernel and experience is awesome.

correct..i thought to suggest the questioner...but you did before me. by the way, once rooted the Stock ROM? all bloat-wares from google and Mi can be removed...Battery and Phone performance everything is good.
even i tried a some recent official releases of Oreo 8.1 for R4x , first few days everything good, later Battery life tarts in consistency. so, i back to stock but removed all Google and Mi's apps ..only very few mi services still existing on my rom, if i delete them my phone gets locked and i need to do everything from scratch again, so i let them persist... Go for stable miui global 9.2 and keep remove the stock bloatwares.

Fastest ROM

Hi,
I'm using temporary this phone and can't stand the bad performance (stock ROM, Android 6 etc.).
It takes ages for daily apps to load (messenger, sms app, chrome).
I browsed some ROMs but can't find any info which is stripped down and super fast.
LeneageOS specifically says it's faster, but "faster than official Nougat installations". I assume Nougat requires even more hardware performance than MM.
But is there anything faster than stock ROM?
Thanks!!
Problem solved.
Installed latest Lineage (Oreo) abd the phone is rocket fast. At least compared to stock rom.

Where did you get Oreo Lineage from, unofficial version? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-lte/orig-development/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3669081
There is no Oreo from the official developers as far as I am aware, still only 14.1: https://download.lineageos.org/thea
My phone has been so slow for over a year, it drives me mad that I barely use it, simple thing as opening an app just freezes up to a minute sometimes, have tried so many things. Been using Lineage since it was CyanogenMod.
Use Lineage for MicroG and replace you normal apps with open source from F-Droid. With them lightweight alternatives, it's the only way you`ll get a smooth experience.

A fast lightweight ROM for SM-900F

Hi. I need to upgrade an old S5 phone to Android 9 or higher. Not going to use it for anything but some specific task. I wonder if anyone could recommend a lightweight and fast ROM?
Hi my man!
I guess the silence is the answer.
No rom is lightweight and fast (and stable) this days for our lovely S5
Why not use the official Roms?
Here's 18.1 with Android 11 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...geos-18-1-for-samsung-galaxy-s5-klte.4267517/ and 17.1 with Android 10 is available too.
Android 11 works well, see how to install it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...g-galaxy-s5-from-stock-to-android-11.4354951/

Searching for a custom rom

I'm searching for some custom ROM for my Xiaomi mi 9 lite with good optimization and better functions than MIUI 12 have. So far I was thinking between Evolution X and Bliss ROM but I would like something more pixel-like. I know that there is the Pixel experience ROM but for this model of phone there is only fan version of it and from past, I don't have good experience installing unofficial ROMs, the same goes for LineageOS.
I would also like to use Netflix, mobile bank, and these things so functional safetynet would be big plus. I am willing to "hack" it through Magisk. I am also fine with installing google apps through sideloading them from open gapps.
Thanks for all help and tips.

Hello ValiantFan771. I have a question, what version of Android do you want on your device? I ask you this because I have many custom ROMs from Android 10 to Android 12.

Question stock Android 13 for Redmi Note 11 ?

Hello,
after two month of normal using without any experiments or flashing / rooting my Redmi Note 11 stuck in an endless bootloop similar as descriped here: Xiaomi Note 11 stuck to rebooting into recovery mode 5.0 after unlocking the screen
I was not able to do any recovery so I ended up to wipe all data and now the phone is booting normal and can be used again.
But befor I'm going to start setting up my phone again from the scratch (because Google backup did not work) I would prefer to use a custom rom without all of these ****ty MUI apps like cloud, video and pdf viewer and round about 7 billion other apps which are anoying me with endless popup messages and registration requests.
This will be my first try to install a custom rom but I already found this tutorial: [GUIDE] How To Install A Custom Rom On Redmi Note 11
First of all thanks for the work of this tutorial I think this will help me doing the first steps.
So here is the question:
Is there any working stock Android 13 custom rom for the Redmi Note 11 without any unneccessary extra stuff?
seems that crDroid could be close to what I want: [ROM][OFFICIAL][12.1-13.0] crDroidAndroid 8.x - 9.x [SPES|SPESN]
what would you suggest to me?
thanks and regards
Stefan
Hi Stefen,
Seeing as how long it has taken Xiaomi to get Android 12 to our devices via OTA, and even there it appears most have STILL not recieved A12 via ota and have had to force the update...
It's unlikely we'll see Android 13 / A13 anytime soon.... I reckon we won't see stock Android 13 for at least another year or more...
Not to say we won't get it, as our devices are supposedly supported to A13 and Miui 14.... but based on timescales, we're a long way off yet...
Cheers, Lister
ah ok, thanks for the clarification. I thought Android 13 is possible yet.
So I guess the right question is: is there a clean stock Android 12 for the phone?
Hi Stefan,
No probs, depends on you're build of current official stock rom. The easiest way to find out, is download the Miui Downloader from PlayStore.
Then head to this page, and find the appropriate rom for your current rom.
This Windows app, will also help you find what you need....
Thanks, Lister
I think the xiaomi.eu roms are debloated but it's still miui

Xiaomi.eu performs better than stock MIUI but worse than AOSP custom ROMs. Based on my experience with 13.0,5, it took almost a minute to boot whereas with Evo X 13 and PE+13, it boots half a minute
Can you use stock camera with AOSP roms?
