Looking to change up my tech experience - Introductions

Hi everyone,
I'm always looking into expanding my experience with tchnology and thought it would be a good a time as any to get into custom ROM's and the such. Currently using a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro in AUS with global MIUI and am looking for something a bit closer to stock or Oxygen OS as I used to have a few OnePlus'. Love a good gesture navigation system.
Cheers.

Welcome to XDA Enjoy

Stock Android ROM for Mi Pad 4 Plus ?

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.

Mi 9T,Pro Android 10

I notice the k20 and k20 pro are expected to get Android 10 in Q4 of this year of you go off what is written online:
https://www.pocket-lint.com/phones/news/148423-when-is-android-10-q-update-coming-to-my-phone
But what about the 9T and 9T pro,I know these devices are the same in terms of hardware,but do you think they will get official android 10 around the same time or later.I would imagine it depends s lot on different markets, regions etc
Does it matter? We need rom for one of those pairs then we can flash then to other pairs lol.
On a serious note, I believe they will get the update around the same time. But its Xiaomi so no promises. Mi 9t pro released weeks ago and there is still no downloadable fastboot rom.

I'm someone who's just getting too old/busy to be messing around with roMs and modding and all that business. Currently have the 6T and that will get Android 10 early enough. Interested in replacing it with the mi 9T or pro but hate that feeling of waiting and waiting for an Android update,though the MiUI interests me because it has a lot of useful features that OxygenOS just doesn't implement. One thing about Oneplus though is the frequency of open beta and I do enjoy that quite a bit.
If I thought Mi 9T was getting Android 10! before the end of the year I would probably get it Just funny that its k20/k20 pro listed to get it which makes me think they intend on delaying it for the 9T

I totally understand. I was mostly joking about it.
I can assure you that both Mi 9 and Mi 9t will get 10 long before end of the year. Xiaomi is serious about their international models.
I can also assure you that you will mostly hate miui coming from oxygen. Dont get me wrong, miui is good and it has a lot of useful stuff. Oxygen is better.

Yea,that could be the case but definitely tempted with the 9T. Ill probably just sit on the fence a while longer and eventually do nothing

I have just went from the S8+ to the X2 Pro and I was surprised how much the X2 Pro is advanced if you compare to it to the S8+ .... loading times, installing apps, GPS catch, network, wifi retention, don't want to talk about the autonomy or the screen on time.... it's just another world. You can switch to the X2 Pro without hesitation. :good:
Thanks mate. So decision is simply. Time to upgrade.

I also would say go for it , this phone is really great. i have the chinese version and i love it (just takes some extra adb commands and patience to work well in the usa). if you can get the global id say grab it and enjoy !!!
I'm in the same situation, I am currently using a Sony XZ Premium. Also, can any users confirm that it supports Netflix
Oneplus One X Realme X2 Pro?
Hello guys, I have a Oneplus One and I have been very happy with it during these 5 years, mostly because of the support it has at software level (many custom ROMs are available for it), but now it is old and it gives me some performance errors. So that I want to upgrade my phone and I have seen this Realme X2 pro pretty interesting, however I am hesitating if this phone will have as much support as Oneplus brand, because I want it to last a lot and I think this is only got thanks to the community.
Do you think this phone will have a big community behind? I would like to flash it with an AOSP custom ROM sometime.

For now, as you can see, very poor dev support..
unfortunately

Likelihood of having decent development / Custom ROMs?

I've been using OnePlus 3T for almost 3 years now and planning to switch to either Redmi K20 Pro or Realme X2 Pro. The stakes are matched one-to-one pretty much, as far as my requirements are concerned, except for one thing.
XDA activity/ custom ROMs, which I love with OnePlus 3T. Though not an extreme flashaholic, and because I'm ditching OnePlus for its pricing strategy, near-stock OS or the choice of custom OS is my only deal-breaker against X2 Pro.
I do understand that X2 Pro is quite new while the K20 Pro has been in around for a decent while and picked up a more-than-decent choice of custom ROMs (Havoc/Pixel Experience/LOS), I would like to understand how well X2 Pro is being received/adopted by the developer community. If the adoption is decent, I am ready wait a little longer for it and get X2 Pro!
I'm eargerly waiting custom roms too.
I might even consider to make a thread to raise money to send a device to some devs I contacted that might be willing to work on the realme X2 pro.
But for the moment I'm waiting realme to fix the fingerprint issue when unlocking bootloader otherwise no custom roms will be feasible.
I tried GSIs from AOSP, LineageOS and PixelExperience, all of them get me into boot loops. I'm also really hoping for a custom rom to come out soon, ColorOS is very disappointing.

With ColorOS7 Realme will makes a more Android-factory feeling

I hope so, though I have the CN version which would probably disappoint again.

Question Any customization is coming to the 10 Pro?

So right now i'm on my OnePlus 8 Pro and i'm pretty alright with it.
Although i have option of upgrading to the 10 Pro.
I love that i still have Roms to install on the OP8P but right now i see none on the 10 Pro + No customization.
Do you think there will be some rom's/mods anything that will be worthy rooting the device ?
A few prior thoughts....
How long does it take to get Custom ROM?
Hey guys! Swapped from a oneplus 8 pro. I forgot how much I hate oxygen OS...Love the devices but oxygen OS is just ehhhhh. I had been running custom AOSP ROM for the longest time. How long until these devices generally get custom ROM? Pixel...
