Hey guys,
My friend got a Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus from his girlfriend, but he doesn't understand chinese at all, and there's a lot of apps he can't use because of that, as well as not being able to access our regular Play Store. I was looking for a stock version but couldn't find one, and Lineage doesn't seem stable enough to install at this point.
Does anyone know what is the most stable ROM that most closely resembles stock Android for the "natrium"? Or do you think LineageOS is stable enough to be used as a daily driver?

Install the lastest rom from Xiaomi EU. I recently switched from Lineage OS to MIUI 9 Beta. All roms from Xiaomi EU are in english without chinese apps and other stuff. Works great.

Also, do not forget to install Google Camera with HDR+ APK for better photos from the rear camera.

Hi,
I've been using Nexus phones for years, and I'm thinking of buying a phone from the P20 family. I don't really like the version of Android that Huawei ships though, and I'd like to be able to install a stock ROM. I assume that this phone will have Treble support (since it shipped with Oreo) and that, because of that, it should be easy to install a custom ROM on it.
Is all of this correct? Will it be easy to install a custom ROM on these phones, or should I go for a different phone?
I'm also considering buying a P20 Lite tomorrow, how was custom ROMs development on P9 Lite and P10 Lite ?
Judging from the ROM development for the Mate 10 series and as it normally is for Huawei phones, it is not very likely that there will be that many ROMs specifically designed for the P20 phones.
However, installing Treble based ROMs should not be a problem at all. There are several such ROMs available, including AOSP, Lineage, Resurrection Remix, CarbonROM etc. The downsize is that these are often very generic ROMs and Huawei specific features may not be available. For example, third party camera apps often have inferior performance compared to the stock camera app. Sometimes these apps are ported over though.
Thanks for your answer!

So, we can take any Treble based ROM and installed it on any Treble enabled phone, and it will work? Don't specific phones need specific ROMs anymore?

Let's say I install an AOSP ROM and use Google Camera. Should I expect it to take bad pictures, or are you referring to something else when you say inferior performance?
Probably dumb questions, but I've been out of the ROM scene for years.

Yupp, that's pretty much the basic idea. Check out the following thread for more about project Treble.

The thing here is that the stock ROM may nevertheless contain vendor specific code which is not released and may have other proprietary conditions on it. The Google Camera may thus not return the same quality as the stock one. This has at least been the case for Huawei phones, although the stock camera app has been ported over (see the thread above).
I just unlocked the boot loader on my P20 Lite, now waiting patiently for a custom recovery
Custom ROMs are not very likely in Huawei devices
Hi all
Also been using Nexus for quite some time now, and bought a Huawei P20 lady week.
1. The camera is great
2. EMUI is not my cup of tea
My goal the coming weeks is to try to understand if it's likely to see a Treble ROM and if the camera app from EMUI/P20 can be ported.
Tldr; I want to keep the camera functionality but use stock android 8.x
Anyone find anything, please post
Peace ✌?

The camera app should be possible to port. It has been done in the past for both Kirin 960 and 970. Check this out for reference. In that thread the camera is based on the one from Mate 9 but in theory a newer one should be possible.
Hey dev,
I'm looking for MIUI 10 Global for my OnePlus 6.
As the MIUI 10 Global stable rom rolled out on Mi8 and others Xiaomi's flagship, i'm asking if a dev can do it.
I think there is a lot of ppl looking for this rom on OP6, and i can't find it.
And remember guys, "GeT A PoCoPhOnE" is the dumbest awnser possible.
Thx you
Just curious, isn't miui one of the heaviest bloated skins? What would make you want that over OxygenOS?
Curious why we want heavy rom if we have Oxygen which is very powerful,clean.My friend using Mi and its heavy bugs a lot bloatware.
One word:
Flashaholic.
We love flashing and can get tired of using the same ROM/UI again and again.
OxygenOS is close to stock android, so all the AOSP ROMs looks similar to OxygenOS.
I would love to use a different UI/UX on my OP6, just for a change.
I would actually flash a stable MIUI 10 ROM, or even Samsung Experience UI
Curious to try also.
Enjoy !

Sorry my explanation are bad...(and my english too) i just want to know which STOCK (eu or global) rom is better and what number/reference...
Hi
I tested several solutions, at least the better stock, fastboot rom is the indonesian version, as far as today, V12.0.4.0.QJKIDXM, it has miui stock call application, with call record, but it has NOT all features of the MIUI stock gallery filters and it has a very nice keyboard that I was not aware of its existence .
For my personal feeling, it runs smoother than the miui.eu rom. I'm waiting for an android 11 stable version of this rom, but for now I'm very happy with it
I need to re-lock the bootloader, because, if not, I can't install an official version of an application that I need, and even if I could do it with the miui.eu rom, I finally took this one
I don't root the phone, at least I need root only for the adblocker, but I can use DNS66 from fdroid with the same results, and I can debloat the firmware from google crap with a batch file in in usb debug mode, so I'm living happily with it.
Global Version With the (Miui Launcher Module & Magisk) is the smoothest experience and the most stable
EU= Full of New features and customization but the battery is not that perfect the global is better and more stable
Thanks for your response have you a build number to recommand for the global?
For now i don't know how to install magisk or twrp on this phone i will try in few days but if you have some advice?
EvolutionX is better than any MIUI
China Developer ROM, simply the best.

you're absolutely right, the evo is going great, the best rom I've tried in this poco
I would say that crdroid is my favourite.. Close to stock, and without gapps.

Thus rom is based on Xiaomi.eu wich is based on stock Xiaomi rom, it have all stock from MIUI from camera plus extra settings that only have Chinese ROM to dialer and message from MIUI
I can only recommend Xiaomi.eu stable and weekly builds for MIUI based ROMs.
For AOSP I'd go EvoX but it's been a while since last release and I believe that was Android 10.
I think it's unwritten blasphemy to ask anything relating to if it's being worked on at all but the only info I could get is that the next EvoX for lmi will be Android 11.
I think we can surmise that the time being taken has to do with ensuring stability and also quite are few Devs were recently in and out of exams.
Hey there
i just got interested in installing ROM on my phone and to be honest, I don't know what am doing exactly so im here to ask you guys some questions i hope yall can answer
i like google pixel phones and the most thing i like about em is their system that's why the only rom im interested in is pixelos and i don't know if is it good or no as i said I'm new to this so
can you guys suggest a better rom for my poco x3 NFC better than the pixel os?
in the pixelos website, there is 2 versions one says 12 and one says 13 which one is stable more and i should go for?
can i go back to my original miui system in case i don't like the pixelos rom (is it safe or there is risque)?
will i get all google pixel phones features or just some of them?
will i still haave my miui feuaatures ?
what's the difference between pixelos and pixel experience and which of them is better?
what does the recovery thing do in pixelos?
That's it i hope some of you can reply to my questions i have 4 days left to unlock my phone and tbh I have no idea what am doing so yeah
Went from Mi 11 Ultra to this, and I've noticed that the custom scene for the 12s is pretty lacking aside from the EU ROM. Just curious what it'd take to get an Elixir or even an Evolution ROM these parts.

12s pro and im waiting like you
May be this 12s series didnt go global so it didnt get more attention
...and for the record, anytime anyone spends time making a custom ROM I'm extremely respectful for that (I've been using customs since Windows Mobile 6.1). In no way am I dragging them nor implying that we're owed this. Again, I just love customs and was simply curious with this.
I have heard on the telegram chanel of 12s ultra, than some people are using the rom mi pro, but I haven't find channel or source (or only for chinese users?) and which seems to be a paid rom.
I have also trying to flash the simplicity rom, but I have a soft brick even if I pass the boot but my phone show only 0% of battery and apps were not working with only access to fastboot.
So I solve it by flashing a fastboot mui 14 rom via my pc.
Anyone have tested the mui pro or the simplicity rom ?

Just some custom miui rom. And if it still miui, i recommend u to stick with xiaomi.eu
Waiting for aosp rom, it will be so much better
It won't have it since Xiaomi didn't released the source Kernel.
