How to delete this post ?
Hi there,
I got my Asus Zenfone 8 and planing to install LineageOS, but first I have couple of questions :
1.Should I update the firmware first ? (phone asking me to System update), not sure if this affect unlocking the bootloader or not ?
2.I liked the Asus camera app, compared it with Open Camera and couple of apps and found it the best, how can I get this stock camera app in LinageOs ?
3.Which OS is preferred to start the process Windows or Ubuntu ?
Appreciate your help,
Adam

Hi,
I recently bought an Redmi 2 4G model 2014817 in HK for a friend.
I would like to put the phone in french using an update of MIUI or a new ROM (stable). Currently only chinese and english are available.
I've read a lot of messages and it seems a bit complex.
What is your advice?
Thanks a lot!
I couldn't find a device-specific thread here on XDA, so I'm going to point you to the right section for your questions [in another forum].
check here: http://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/xiaomi-redmi-2-4g-lte.134/
Thanks I saw I've seen that except it's almost impossible to register.
In case I don't succeed to install multilingual pack, could I install another rom like cyanogen or a "clean" android (like on nexus) ?
Maybe I should wait a bit as the phone is quite new.
Cheers !
If you want to have MIUI with french, you have to use this ROM (specific for your device). It's the MIUI 6 Kit Kat Multilanguage.
If you want other ROMs, there's something Unofficial for now, the device is new. There's an Unofficial CyanogenMod 11.
Installing Multi MIUI it's very simple: http://en.miui.com/thread-11242-1-1.html
On this link it's for MIUI V5, but for MIUI 6 is almost the same.
Thanks a lot for all those info, I'll make a try today and let you know. I will try to keep MIUI first.
I let you know
Cheers,
Hey,
It has worked! in something like 5 minutes, very easy.
Just you need to install the driver before (on Win 8.1) to have better access to the internal memory.

Now I'm waiting for a new multilingual version with MIUI6
Thanks a lot!
I've got TWRP installed and the phone rooted but after a real long serch I didn't find any compatible custom ROM for it ... I really want to get a stock Android build on it ZenUI sucks! and for the record I've found a port of lineage 13 on 4PDA but the wifi doesn't work.

Hey, so first of all sorry for making a long post and I might repeat things for which there may be threads so sorry in advance regarding that, so moving on ,I just bought k20 Pro, while miui is awesome , I'm thinking of switching rom, but can't do it rn as I'll be traveling soon and don't want to risk bricking my phone, I'll do it asap after I return (in 1 week) so my questions are:
1) How to unlock bootloader?
2) How to flash recovery ? And which one , I've always used TWRP on earlier device, but some ppl I see here say Orangefox.
3)I know how to flash a ROM, but what is the vendor everyone keeps telling to flash and should that be flashed everytime installing new rom?
4) Do you lose support for hd in prime and Netflix after flashing rom? If yes how to bring it back (if possible ).
5) ROM recommendation! I've used Lineage os on my previous device, so close it would be good, recommend something which is stable and fast , I don't use much customisation, and should be close to stock Android, as less bugs as possible.
6) Anything I need to know about the device? Something which will help me in future.
Note:i I've upgraded to Miui 12 so please try base answers on that version. I have Indian version of phone.
Thank you to the folks reading this and answering!!

Here's a guide to unlocking the bootloader. This is from the official MIUI global forums.
https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Stick with TWRP. Get it from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568 get the latest version. Orange Fox is a good choice of you stick with MIUI or a MIUI based custom ROM. Otherwise TWRP is the better option. Flashing instructions are there. You shouldn't need to flash the vbmeta patcher.
Check out my guide here, read the thread as some of your questions are answered there including a basic overview of vendor and firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-guide-flipkart-owners-t4151007/post83329343
If you are used to LOS, then you may as well stick with that. It's as stable as any ROM for this phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/development/rom-lineageos-17-0-t3976469/post80406191
If you stick with Indian firmware and vendor, you should keep widevine L1.
If you get in a mess, follow this guide from the official MIUI forums to restore the phone with a fastboot ROM.
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
You will need to view this page in desktop mode, if viewing on a mobile.
You can get the latest MIUI fastboot ROM from here.

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?

not yet, there develops and mods, but not completly functional
I've searched the forum but although I can build a Windows PC and install an OS etc, I don’t understand all the jargon around Androids. Could somebody please answer a simple question – is it possible to upgrade an Xperia Z with Android 5.1.1 to use Apps which require Android 6 or later ?
I’m happy to take a chance on booting my phone to fastboot and flashing files from my PC – just need somebody to point me to the relevant post or url. Thanks.
Yes u can update your device to android 8 by flashing lineage os 15.1 with a custom recovery
