What's the problem with the original ROM?

HI,
it's my first post here, i've bought a xiaomi x4, 4gb ram version, and i'm wondering which Operating System should i use in my phone; i come fom an iphone 4s so i'm glad to have the opportunity to install an open-source SO. I see lots of costum roms and really great stuff but i use the phone just for the browsing, e-mails, messages and phone calls so the phone has to be fast and stable; Reading around shows me that costum rom means "eventual problem with stability and functions...crashes.." and so i'm questioning myself, what's the problem with the official xiaomi global rom? does it have logger or something? and maybe it's possible to install a fresh standard version of an android open os or it has to be "coded" or "ported" for my xiaomi hardware?
Thanks in advance for any answer

Official MIUI is full of bloatware: China apps, useless Google apps, Facebook and MS office preinstalled and such. For your need, I recommend trying Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 if you like the look and cleaned from any xiaomi apps, else try xiaomi.eu MIUI ROM, or MIUIpro rom for unbloated software with good performance and battery life. without sacrificing features.

Not really. Try to get used to one. I'd recommend miuipro or xiaomi.eu rom if you want to stick to MIUI. If you want to try AOSP Nougat, I highly recommend official Resurrection Remix 7.1.2. On Oreo, I dont know, you could try Pixel Experience or Nitrogen. But I recommend sticking to Nougat, either MIUI or AOSP.

ok i understand! i think i'll gonna try miui rom.eu and Kernel Clarity, they seems interesting! and for AOSP did you mean This?

Well if you are just a casual user, i would recommend you to stay with the latest official miui rom. Its the most stable, fast and snappy rom for this device. Its ui is similar to iOS.
As Far as bloatware is concerned, if you can unlock its bootloader, boot(not flash) twrp through pc, flash magisk and then uninstall all bloatware.
Else just put them all in one folder and cut off background data for them.
I personally won't recommend you to flash custom rom unless you want to taste pure Android ui because custom roms are not as refined as official roms.
Rest is upto you!

this seems to me a wise advice! thank you! but what about just the kernel, it's the same argument? i think i'll start with your solution, baby steps!

yes and no. If a custom kernel is providing you a feature which is very essential for your usage(like fast charging or something), you can go ahead. Else there is no problem with stock one.
Another thing is stock kernel is GENERALLY safe from technical viewpoint. Custom kernels may/may not be safe because some of them just experiment with the device's voltage and other essential values which were earlier optimised scientifically. Flashing those may not be safe at all. So do your research really really well before flashing anything custom coz they might damage your device (that's rare, but still!)

Also, whether you step into this flashing world or not, never forget to backup your stock system, boot, efs and recovery. I have had experiences where my device just got dead without any reason. And that too without tampering anything. Everything stock with no flashing and locked bootloader.

Try AOSP ROM for pure android experience. (I'm using AOSP Extended with Oreo 8.1, work like a charm!)

finally my phone has arrived and i figured out that i bought a redmi NOTE 4x...to which section do i refer on this forum? the redmi note 4 or redmi 4x?
By the way i have a miui global 9.5 and i like it, very fast and smart! i don't see "chinese bloatware", what did you mean exactly?

How can i do all this things?

No chance of a custom ROM?

Did I just screw myself by buying a Xiaomi Redmi 10x 5G because it has a Mediatek SOC?
I was able to buy this phone from a Chinese webshop with a 'global ROM'. Turns out it's just a Chinese ROM with Google play store and half working services installed.
When searching for a global, EU or custom ROM I found out there are pretty much no custom ROM's for Mediatek SOC phones because apparently Mediatek (I assume their kernel) isn't open source.
The hardware is great but this Chinese ROM definitely isn't if you want to use Google services instead of Xiaomi.
I've been able to remove pretty much all of the Chinese apps and also most of the Google alternatives from Xiaomi but for instance it can't sync my contacts or my calendar.
Please tell me all hope is not lost.
I have my bootloader unlocked. Can install TWRP if needed (just haven't done it yet since I don't have another ROM to flash).
Any advice in this situation would be appreciated.

Not yet. The fact that it runs mediatek just makes the development of roms slower. I have a note 8 pro, that also runs a mediatek. Just give it more time. Like a lot more time. I am thinking of changing to a custom rom in about 2 years. Xiaomi will provide great updates, use a custom launcher if you want.

I suggest you to keep on stock rom firmware only.
Root it with magisk. Flash it with twrp.
And everything is fine.

Question What is the best MIUI stock rom ?

Hello everyone I would like to ask a few questions and know your opinion on the different stock versions of the redmi note 10 pro which one would advise me. which would be the most stable with the fewest bugs. I ask you this because I am afraid to reinstall twrp having already bricked my phone once. I had to go through unbrick.ru it's expensive for a simple unlocking I want to say

Indonesian version with long temporary update and stable, but now i stick with miui Pulse.

As long as you thoroughly follow a up-to-date, precise guide on how to flash TWRP and then flash a new ROM, you should be good. Just don't do something tricky with your phone if you have a doubt and that you don't know. Stock MIUI ROMs are, in my opinion, not as good as Xiaomi.eu ROMs or AOSP based ROMs. You'll have to debloat everything, there'll be ads in system apps and less features (depends on the region). Really, you should try flashing TWRP and use Xiaomi.eu. Moreover, a "brick" can in most cases be solved because, if a ROM flash doesn't work as it should, or even something else, you still have your TWRP to fix your phone.
(of course, don't do it if you know you're not attentive enough and that you won't be following guides steps minutely)

MIUI 12.5.1 is great in my point of view and very easy to operate.

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.

I am going to leave you some links so that you can choose for yourself which ROM you want on your Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite device.

Question Is there no OS that really stable for this phone?!

I've tried MIUI 12 and 13, they're both trash!! There must be some shortage for each version!! Even the last version of MIUI 12!! Come on Xiaomi!!
Actually I like the hardware, but the OS???!!!
Any body could give me a suggestion for which OS is the most stable??

MMX custom rom, debloated, still based on MIUI
i m Wait pixel experience stock rom without root.

If u want performace, i will suggest oxygen os or if u have a low end phone, you can try roms of other devices having same chipset as yours. but u need to modify them a bit.

MIUI is terrible, yeah.
I recently switched to PixelExperience GSI and it's pretty good.
Auto brightness is a bit finicky and logging into your Google account can be annoying if you use SMS for 2FA, because SMS don't work by default (it's just one switch in settings).
But there are no crashes and it's way less buggy than stock.

Could you explain to me what GSI mean? Whats the difference between non GSI and with GSI PixelExperience?

GSIs (Generic System Images) are universal for all devices supporting Treble. All devices released with Android 9 and later are required to support it.
"Classic" ROMs are built for specific device only.
Here's a guide on how to install one:
How to install custom roms (GSI) 11T > Pro
How to install a gsi onto your Mi 11t > Pro This will wipe your phone and I'm not responsible for any bricked device's. you can always go back to stock and try again. Clean install suggested! 1.0 Start with downloading things Latest...

Same here
The is an urgent need for a good software

I´m having crashes and reboots like every hour since I got MIUI 12.5
Does anyone else have this problem?
Would you recommend to flash the firmware again or to go with a Custom Rom?

Never had this problem with this version.
Try to reset the phone.
Flash firmware with Miflash.
Flash a Xiaomi EU rom.

Waiting for paranoid for 11tpro, as of now magisk is not working normal so switched to Stock OS

If I were you, I prefer flash custom rom like: Xiaomi.EU
Much more stable!!
