Hi all,
First up, I have been running 3rd party ROMs on my old Sony Z2 for years (TWRP with Cyanogen then LineageOS).
So i'm semi-experienced with running other ROMs.
I have a Mi 9 global currently running the latest stable official Global MIUI.
The bloat and calling-home by the Xiaomi stock apps is ridiculous, so want off ASAP.
Ideally I'm after a very lightweight, stripped down version of Android with OpenGApps Pico (or equiv).
All hardware working would be a bonus (losing IR and NFC isnt a deal-breaker. Need BT working though).
So what would you guys recommend I run?
Thanks in advance
xiaomi.eu
I bought my mi 9 before 1 week and yesterday I unlocked the bootloader and installed Xiaomi eu , I'm very happy with it and i got 9h of Screen Time on.
I'm in same position as the OP. Waiting 6 more days before I can unlock and also keeping a close eye on the stability of Pixel Experience rom. Currently using it on a Samsung S7 so that will be my first choice.
Xiaomi.eu or Revolution OS are both great Miui roms.
Pixel Experience isn't stable enough for you I guess. But in future it will.
hello friends I have a problem when I unlock my 9 install the twrp that says on the page xiaomi.eu and I liked the rom and wanting to update to 9.6.13 try to enter the twrp and I can not appear the black screen and restart to the rom that I currently have from xiaomi.eu 9.6.5 someone can help me.

I replied to your other post.
Revolution OS > xiaomi.eu (if you don't like constant Softwareupdates - in case you debloat one of those & install magisk mods).
I don't say xiaomi.eu is bad, but I'd prefere to not update my smartphone unnecessarily ("never thouch a running system").

Try Globe Rom, it can be customized by you. You'll like it ?
Do xiaomi.eu and revolution os have widevine l1?
Hi! i am very new to the xiaomi community. i have just bought a pre-owned xiaomi mi 9.
it was shipped to me via POST mail, when i opened the phone it is a xiaomi mi 9 chinese version.
i am planning to flash either miui eu , miui global or revos. i just want to ask
how are the updates on these roms (miui eu, miui global, and revos) delivered? do i need to reflash every time? or i can just update just like a regular stock miui chinese rom? (a.k.a. by going to the settings and clicking the update button there and rebooting)
thank you.

Yes, you can update via settings normally on these roms (OTA), so no, you don't need to wipe and reflash everytime. :good:
Nonetheless it will always be better to clean install, as sometimes updating like this can cause slow downs / issues.

you and i have the same version (6gb ram / 128gb storage). i see that you are using the revos, have how is it? have you tried the miui eu? miui global? may you please give me your insights? thank you very much..
I have a same phone like you, and I've been using miui eu edition for months. You have to install updates(downloadable in settings) in the rec, but you don't need to wipe data, just cache/dalvik. So it's kinda convenient.
Hey guys!
I'm a very recent owner of Mi 9T Pro (less than 24h remaining until unlock becomes available). I'm also a recent consumer (if that's the right word for it) in the custom ROM scene. About a week ago I decided to check out LineageOS 16.0 on my old (Android 4.4.2) phone, and I was blown away by the performance improvement. It really gave my old device a second wind.
So when it comes to my new Mi 9T Pro, the long term strategy is almost certainly to install the official version of LineageOS 17.0 as soon as it becomes available (if at all and boy do I hope it does). However, since the official release might be (as I understand) several months away, it leaves me with a time window to use some other ROM until then. I've checked out LineageOS 16, 17, HavocOS 2.8, 3.0 & Pixel Experience ROM threads in this forum. It appears they all have some or other issues.
And this is where I was hoping to get a suggestion from you guys. What I'm interested in is the most stable ROM currently available for this phone. To be more clear, I'll illustrate what I mean by "stable":
1) Novelty not required.
It doesn't have to be Android 10 necessarily. Stability > novelty.
2) Most commonly used features take precedence.
I would certainly prefer a lag-less UI and no issues with signal reception over working NFC and Bluetooth audio (all 4 issues seem to appear with some regularity in mentioned threads).
Well, that's basically it, I hope you get the gist of it. If not I'll be glad to clarify further.
Just to be clear, I'm really not looking for a perfect solution where there is none. Just the least painful one. MIUI is not an option.
Thank you!
P.S. Sorry if this is a dup. I only managed to find a handful of outdated questions (~2 months old) which had very little engagement to begin with.
I use crDroid 5.8 (5.9 build does not work with global fw &vendor) and all the android 10 ROMs besides LOS 17 have broken NFC and BT .. And los 17 is also not perfect. Slows down after a while. We just have to wait till every K20 Pro / Mi 9T Pro version gets stable MIUI 11. Right now android 10 is not daily drive ready.
I'm using Résurrection Remix with the same build for over 2 month (the last one), and i dont have any bug.
I'm dtarting to have some troubleshootings after 2-3 weeks and it only require to restart to get fixed.
Also i'm not a big user of the phone so at the end of the day there is 70% battery left!

First of all, thank you for your input!
But what about Android 9 based ROMs like LOS16, Havoc-OS 2.8, Pixel Experience etc.? Wouldn't they be more stable based on the fact that Android 9 was already out (for quite some time) when K20 Pro was released? And also because the developers have simply had more time to iron out the issues?

I have basically tried every rom there is on this forum, and multiple vendors, roms later, i can suggest that EvolutionX, Pixel experience plus (pie are both pretty stable. But they have minor issues. Definitely daily driver material.
But! in my suggestion, if you could stick to a debloated MIUI. It would be hassle free.
Pros for using the stock rom.
Fingerprint sensor works faster
Doesn't break safetynet, so.. google pay support.
widevine L1 in other cases.
And most importantly, the camera functionality doesnt break

Thank you very much for your (somewhat unexpected) suggestion!
To be honest, I hadn't really considered debloating, but I will most certainly look into it. Are there some preferred debloating solutions out there?

Follow the steps in the Removing Bloatwares in Locked/Unlocked Bootloader part of the first post in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647
True, MIUI has way faster and better fingerprint recognition than all custom roms. Sadly I hate MIUI look and feel...
If you want to give MIUI a try, install the xiaomi eu ROM, which is pretty clean and without much preinstalled stuff.
Best is not to use the custom ROMs with ALL the features, since those ROMs are more laggy and buggy.
So if custom ROMs, try android 9 based. I will flash android 10 again only after 2-3 builds which use MIUI 11 firmware and vendor, since I do have a global K20 Pro/ Mi 9T Pro and don't want to lose DRM L1 or NFC by flashing IN or CN fw and vendor. Because most android 10 ROMs require MIUI 10 android 10 fw and vendor (and there is no global MIUI 10 android 10 fw & vendor)
So depends after all, how much you hate MIUI.
I flashed a custom ROM because of the following things
clean stock UI
no gapps
better everyday performance

So.. the simple trick is to flash chinese vendor miui 10.3.16..
Mine in an indian unit.. and flashing any vendor except the chinese one gives me some sort of error or bootloop..
So.. my process is..
1- unlock bootloader
2-flash recovery (orangefox or twrp)
3- boot into revovery
4-wipe system
5- flash vendor
6- flash rom (gapps if necessary)
7- wipe cache
8- reboot

I guess so.. and sorry brother.. i dont use telegram..
I'd suggest you stick to global vendor..
If it doesn't work, then try chinese..
Widevine is not an issue for me.. but you might stream HD content.. so.. look into it..
And i forgot to mention... Always format data before rebooting.. format data is different from wipe data.. keep that in mind..
You should stick to the process.. it should go flawlessly..

So when i flash firmware and rom before i restart i should format data? And can you tell me which vendor do i use for global for Q roms and which one for Pie roms that would be helpful
For me miui 12 is better than the older miui 11. Miui 12 have a cool UI design(i hope smooth too)
Here's list of cool improvement MIUI 12
1. New Animation
MIUI 12 supports Android 10’s quick change app gestures. I think some animations are really annoying punch
2. Sumperman
3. Control panel
If you don’t like this style, don’t worry. There is a setting for you to return to the old style. Unfortunately it doesn’t support functional Android notifications in 2 interfaces.
4. Floating Window
This may be the biggest feature of MIUI 12. You can open applications on the screen small and fix them to the corners. In fact, similar features are available on OneUI and Android 10/11. MIUI developers have developed the floating bubble app that came with Android 10 a bit more.
Pull down the application suspension notification and instantly transform into a quick small window. Drag a small window to the side to transform into a small window. Know everything, chat for a day without delay.
I'm pretty scared of it can be laggier than the previous versions...
is it going to be MIUI12 on Android 9?

I installed MIUI 12 (Xiaomi.EU) on my Redmi Note 7 and it's very laggy, animations are cool but slow on our device. I hope this problem gets fixed on Stable MIUI 12 but I don't think so.
Hi guys, why Miui 12 beta isn't for our device? Developer is stopping, anyone know why?
Tried xiaomi.eu's version av MIUI12 for lavender and it was the laggiest ROM I have yet to experience. Was utterly unusable... Went straight back to my favourite MIUI11 (20.1.21 beta). WAY BETTER. Will wait and see if MIUI12 will ever be suitable for RMN7...

Because they've used the 20.4.27 build (lagging, a video on Chrome will crash your systemUI, randomly) instead of the 20.4.28 (which has some bugs, random reboot included, but way better than the previous build), i've installed back MIUI 11, actually (13/05/20) the untouched China Beta of MIUI 12 works better than the Xiaomi EU build.

Ciao,
just a stupid doubt, it's possible to update from 20.4.27 (MIUI12 EU) to 20.5.13 (MIUI 12 CHINA) over a dirty flash ? I have no time these days to backup my internal memory...

I don't really know, maybe (both are based on China Dev, maybe you can), you'll surely have some apps/services broken, if you're unlucky your device will not boot at all, a clean installation is better (actually a mandatory) in this case, in my opinion.
If you wanna risk and try please report your results here, maybe other users are interested

I gave it a try yesterday evening with a clean wipe. Full wipe ( dalvik / cache / system / vendor / data ) plus format data ( internal storage ). Nice rom, english language is not a problem. But I got 2 random reboots in 1 hour

Yes, i had two reboots at the beginning too, then after a week of use zero problems about it
I'm honestly disappointed with the frequency of rn7 updates. Very sloppy work by xiaomi. They focus on selling and don't support sold phones so much. Typical Chinese business style.

Yes, i'm a fan of this brand but they're just bad with uodates, i had all of the Mi A series devices (A1, A2 and A3), Android One project from Xiaomi is the worse thing you can actually buy, at least they care about MIUI, but After the Redmi sub brand the situation is terrible, few uodates, slow Major releases, higher prices (device by device, at least in EU), let's see if Xiaomi will be the new Huawei.
Hi guys,
actually, I´m trying to bring my Mi9 back to life with a new battery. Since now, I´m on xiaomi.eu 12.5.6.
In order to keep my Mi9 updated, I tried to figure out, which Custom ROM I´d go for. Criteria are every day use (stability, battery lifetime, smoothness, security updates). Conclusion after reading the threads is that most official 11.0 ROMs do very well (for example crDroid, Havoc, …). Since twrp still doesn´t support encryption, I´d go for 11.0.
Another point is a good cam out of the box (using all lenses and features and compareable to stock quality). Or do I need to install gcam to reach this goal?
Thx in advance for suggestions, I know the question for „best ROM“ is pretty much too simple, but I´d like to get a starting point…
how did you get xiaomi.eu 12.5.6? I saw only chinese
