This is not how it works. You've to search for it, if you find any good go then.

Since there isn't a 4X forum that I am aware of, let's go ahead and leave this here. But will make a change to the post title to help get it some visibility.

Does xiaomi.eu rom considered as custom?

Currently I am using yureka black os. Phone information is wrong in about phone but other than that the ROM is perfect with some unnecessary apps you can remove using titanium backup. If you want stock android 7.1.2 Yureka Black is the way to go.

[Q] Xiaomi Redmi 4X (santoni) development

Hello,
what is needed/whate are we waiting for until the Redmi 4X custom ROMs come out? I found some LineageOS and one other unofficial ROMs but I don't trust stuff outta xda so I'm too afraid try them.
Thanks
PS: There are the links:

mod edit - off-site download links removed
The unofficial lineage versions contain two chinese apps with access to usage statistics. They disappear after disabling the access. It's nevertheless a little bit dangerous. I use this redmi 4x as a PirateBox host, so it's not a problem for me. The Lineage build is working good, finger print sensor is working, camera is functional.
Hello,
is it possible to flash the baseband from Xiaomi Redmi 4X with band 20 (global variant?) to other Xiaomi Redmi 4X with 3MB 32GB as root with any tool to get band 20 ?
Is there any flashing tool of basebands for Xiaomi devices at all ?
hello

I flashed it with TWRP. Have you first wiped the phone?
Hi everyone,
are there any news on this?
I got my 4X yesterday and I've been looking for a good custom ROM but can't seem to find any except for that one with the chinese bloatware.
kinda hard to find good rom. so much stuff on the internet now days
Finally found something on a Russian site. It's all in Russian which is why you can't find it on Google...
They have inofficial builds of LineageOS (and some other ROMs as well) for the Redmi 4X.
I'm using it right now and there are no issues. Everything works smoothly, no signs of bloatware. Can recommend to try it. :good:

It's great. Used it a lot yesterday (2,5h screen-on time) and still had 50% left in the evening.
I can't comment on how it compares to MIUI though, haven't used it enough for that.

I have tried the LOS13 v1 and indeed the most things working smooth.
Only annoying is the the lack of a fix for the (further good working) gps. I am not sure if this has influence on draining the battery.
On the same site you can find also Mokee, Flyme and some derivates of Miui
I for now run the rom of Mi-Globe rom, based on the latest Xiaomi.eu version with some extra features and debloated Mi stuff
I am very satisfied with this Nougat rom. With a custom launcher I can live with the Miui base
4pda talks are banned here.
Also this is a known issue with those device and many that run on cm. The GPS, BT, and wifi have been buggy for years and they never bother to fix it.
do you have Root app for Redmi 4x?
Anybody have Root app for Xiaomi Redmi 4x, please share with me, thanks

Thanks for pointing to this. Edit my post
I think that Miui (and debloated derivates) is the best choice for now, that has the least issues

The official Global beta 7.6.22 has two versions, MM 6.0 and N 7.1.
Xiaomi eu has adapted the 7.1 version for the Europese customers
Latest weekly release is v7.6.29 .
With Mi-globe you can strip and add (like root) some things on this EU rom
Everyting works as expected, but personal I don't prefer Miui

You need to have unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP, then go to Magisk thread here on XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 and download the zip here and flash it from TWRP. Now you have MagiskRoot and also ability to install systemless packages (read the description, it's the single most cool thing we ever got for Android apart from Xposed).
Do not install SuperSU, as it would probably break the MTP - although for some people apparently modifying build.prop worked, for me it didn't.

Best alternative ROM to flash

Hello all.
I just received my mi9 and I don't like at all this stock MIUI rom.
First thing, where can I see if I have the EEA, or global ROM ?
And secondly, after unlocking my device and flashing twrp, what rom could be the best ? Maybe xiaomi.eu, revolutionOS, flokoRom ?
No AOSP based ROM at the moment ( I would love to flash an AOSP based ROM , like my good old One plus 3 )
And battery life is just horrible in stock ROM..

You could try GSI roms, but they are not stable enough for me right now.
Im now on ROS. With magisk and lawnchair it's running great and feels a lil bit like aosp. Better than stock

You should read the FAQ and forum before asking such questions, as a senior member you should know that
Anyways, unlocking usually requires a 15 day waiting / grace-period, so I'd start doing that now and you'll have another two weeks to read all the ROM/flash/root topics here.

Which rom is the best for you and why?

Hi all,
as in the title, which rom is the best for you and why?
Please write pros and cons, if you can (include GSI Roms).
* If a similar thread exist, please mods redirect me there and close.
Thank you.

Hey
Actually, I am on stock MIUI rom, because it's stable and because there isn't a good alternative. Most of custom roms are still in development and not completed.
Even GSI, it's not very stable. So, not recommended for daily usage.
In future i think I'll go with custom rom. Maybe LineageOs. I used it on other devices in past years... It's really clean, optimized and well supported.
Global Dev, although still some bugs it's quite stable and reliable.
Will probably switch to a custom ROM once a stable version based on sleak AOSP is available. But I don't trust ROMs from unknown sources so minimum requirement is documented open-source development, e. g. Github. On the previous phone, Oneplus 2, I still run LineageOS at complete satisfaction. Still supplying weekly updates for a four year old device.
Cheers
Toscha

Its has only 5-7 languages in my knowledge. Since i need only English i really don't care about it. Used MS rom in Mi8 (really likes) and now waiting for bootloader unlock in Mi9 to flash MS rom
Regarding Gpay there is a fix. So no issues. And its comes with some bloatware removed so i think battery will be ok...

LineAgeOS (LOS). It's only a unofficial version but works well and is exactly what I need: Stable, simple to use and hopefully in future (official status) with daily update function.

Thread moved to Q&A Section
Please stop asking for the best ROM (for battery, for performance or any other criteria), it doesn't exist. If there was one true best ROM, do you think there would be other ROMs?
There is only subjectively best and that's different for everyone. Everyone has different usage patterns and preferences, so when asking for the best, you get the best for them, not the best for you. The only way you'll find the best one for you is by trying them yourself. They're all free, anyway.
Also, keep in mind that the Developers are not competing against each other and they're not trying to win you over or anything. They all have different design goals, they're not trying to be better than one another. They're just trying to be different. Asking for the best is quite disrespectful towards the Developers.
Thank you for your understanding,

miui ms rom (Malchik-Solnce (Port).
The basis is the assembly from malchik-solnce on Xiaomi Mi 9.
Out of the box there are a lot of additional settings, and as usual trash from Google and xiaomi is cut out. The author of the change does not provide.

"Mi Services" out of box installed? Do i really have plain Android One?

Hi Guys,
just got my new A2 and i am a bit confused. It has a Mi Services App running for opt in and some other Mi App installed which i cannot uninstall. Do i have the right Android Version? I did an OTA update but that hasn't changed the fact
If i don't want those apps, which Android 9 ROM can you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

Mi services are an opt in component. They are used by mi to collect some user experience info so as to improve upon the product.
The other mi app is the mi community app which is like any other forum found in companies like one plus etc. That too can be uninstalled... Other then that, this is pure android.
Trust me, stay on stock as long as you are getting updates.... there's no reason to switch to custom roms so soon

I haven't touched the world of custom rom for mi a2.
That's why, i can't give you any advice regarding them.
Stock rom is buggy mess, also why you want 9.0 rom? we already got some good 10 custom roms try them out :fingers-crossed:

I'm currently running HAVOC-OS-v3.0 TEN on my Xiaomi MI A2 and really like it. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking to flash a custom ROM.

what about bugs? Everyone is saying differnet things
I heard android 9 havoc has almost no bugs, thats why i was thinking 9
you can disable those apps with adb commands keeping the stock rom (cant remember exactly how but it's definetly possible)
the apps are providing the feedback function (so you can report bugs if you find any) and support for the camera app - which is the miui camera instead of the stock android. (you can always install another camera app and use that instead)
