I want to buy this phone, but don't really see any custom ROM development for it, only isaac's work on afh, and I checked his github and he still works on this device.
So what are your thoughts? Will it have any more good devs who will work on this phone, just like on Redmi Note 5 Pro (Whyred)?
Mi 6X is not Mi 6. Mi 6X uses chip snapdragon 660, but Mi 6 uses chip snapdragon 835. I mean, Mi 6X is other device than Mi 6.
Yes I knew that, but because there is no seperate forum here on XDA for the 6X, I think this is the best place for it.
I guesd that the Mi6x doesn't have enough users
I dont think so
you can request a device forum here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354
Well, I'm looking forward to buy a Xiaomi phone.
I never used a xiaomi phone before, therefore I'm thinking which one to choose? If I buy Mi A2, I'll get stock android ui. But I think if I get a xiaomi phone than why can't I use MiUI? Well, I know that Mi A2 is "Android One" device but is there any way to use MiUI 9/10 in Mi A2? If not now, than will in future?
Yes in the future you will be able to flash the Mi6x rom on your MI A2 if you wanna taste MIUI.
It was the same case with MI 5X/A2 !

Thanks for the info buddy! @marc2800
Are there any news about this developement? I like the hardware-specs but Android One is missing some usefull features, like one-hand-controll and twin-apps (usefull for e.g. whatsapp on a dual-sim smartphone).
Sadly buying a Mi 6X is no option because it doesn't connect to 4G networks in Band 20 (important for Germany).

I was able to flash the mi 6x fastboot rom, the bootloader works fine. The partition system is a little different from stock (android One) so a bit of work needs to be done. besides that, according to the Mi 6x forums they already installed our firmware (Mi A2) on their devices(Mi 6x) with no issues. So it is definitely possible, just a little beyond my area of expertise. If you want to check it out for yourself the link is http://en.miui.com/thread-3439864-1-1.html

If you want MIUI then just buy any other Xiaomi phone that's available in your country. Why even bother getting A2? Just get any other device and flash custom ROM if just want the taste of stock android.
And regarding future development, I don't think any dev will waste their time on it because you already have a official phone with MIUI on it.
It doesn't even make sense to put effort in this cross development. A dev tried porting MIUI for A1 but it sees like the work is till in progress.
It'd be easier to install custom ROM on a MIUI phone than MIUI on stock.
Miui should not be too crazy to get working on our devices. It is just a matter of if enough people/devs want it and have drive to do something about it.

I have a MI A2 and i wanted to know if right now, with the custom ROMs available i should stay MI A2 and use MI A2 custom ROMs or convert to 6X. Thank you in advance.
If you ask me - stay.
ROMs are coming.
stay. if anything you'd want to convert the mi 6x to mi a2 instead.
you hate the stock android one soo much? you should try and live a couple of days with miui, would make you wanna reconsider your question
You don't have to stick with MIUI if you convert. Most A2 custom roms have MI6X versions. It is not bad idea to convert to 6x if you are going to custom roms since it has working twrp and it is a-only device wich makes flashing custom roms easier.
But you should try yourself and see what works best for you. You can always revert back as long as you dont trigger anti roll back.

I only wanted to convert if the custom ROMs are better for 6X than A2, i would not stay in MIUI.
Hi im currently using my Mi A2 after leaving it for nearly 1 year. Its now on Havoc v2.3 Pie in which I really want this to run Android 10 with a better ROM (probable PE or PEFE). Now should I convert my A2 to 6X? Or should i just stay on my A2? I mean which ROMs are better?? A2 or 6X? Enlighten me please thank you
