what is the best ROM for MI 5 (MIUI features & stock android look) - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

hello guys
there is many roms in this forum for the mi 5 but i am looking for a rom that combine some of MIUI features with the stock android look.
is there a rood out there that have the MIUI security app and MIUI app lock option and the hiddin gallery option with the look and feel of a stock android like LineageOs for example ?

There isn't really a rom that has Miui features as Miui relies heavily on Miui framework. Can install another rom and apply Miui icons etc

not the icons that i want .
i am talking about security center and app locks option and that option in gallery where you can hide some pictures and you can access them by sliding down ...

Use MIUI rom with nougat/Oreo theme

theme won't change the notifications and statue bar style it will change only the icons

lineage os has app lock functionality built in ..
go and install resurrection remix-- it has more options for customizations than you will ever use...

MIUI themes change everything from notification area, status bar, settings etc not just icons. Plenty stock Oreo or nougat themes available for miui

but it has bugs too

(Q) is there any theme manager like on miui roms to use miui themes

Ex dialer is miui themed dialer for android.milocker is for login screens
Miui u launcher sucks much ,but i doono where does it stores themes.can miui themes be installed thru it?
MIUI from is created by a company called xiaomi, they also made milocker to work with standard MIUI themes. Ex dialer and the launcher known as MIUI launcher are not made by xiaomi so they do not work with MIUI themes.
There is a thread on how to theme the fake MIUI launcher in the themes section. And a huge post on all the apps for recreating the miui look.
On a side note xiaomi have started to open source there MIUI code so maybe we will see more third party apps support MIUI themes.

MIUI 8 for any android.

Hi guys i have made a video on how you can covert any android device into miui 8.
This is a cm theme so you will not get the features of the miui 8 but the theme will make your device look exactly same as miui 8. As it is a cm theme you need a cm 12, 12.1 or cm 13 rom installed on your android device.
All the apps are well themed and also status bar. You also get some amazing wallpaper and offcourse the miui 8 boot animation.

[MAGISK] DISABLE pull-down of quick-toggle/status bar in lock screen on locked phone.

Maybe you all fed up with Google's decision to allow pull-down of statusbar in locked phone.
As I am, even made a bug report but Xiaomi is thicc: http://en.miui.com/thread-3078766-1-1.html
Well I found a fix for this at least in Xiaomi's MIUI:
Just flash China ROM & replace this 2 folders in the /system/priv-app/
- MiuiSystemUI
- Settings
with the one from xiaomi.eu, of course this needs root & same xiaomi.eu version as your phone.
You'll got those features back in Settings like in MIUI 9. I tried it myself.
For you who use China Stable Oreo in Mi 5s Plus, you can try my Magisk mod for this.
https://github.com/Crescendo-BLYAT/securephone-xiaomi.eu
Script by: Didgeridoohan
As this will only work in specific device/MIUI version, my module only works for Natrium China ROM - MIUI 10.1.3.0 (Oreo) or Clover China ROM - MIUI 10.1.1.0 (Oreo)!!
You can use this as template and get xiaomi.eu ROM for your respective device, extract the ROM & get those 2 folders inside /system/priv-app and replace the one in my module, touch nothing and flash in your magisk and see in the Settings > Notification & status bar -> Show on secure lock screen.
Disable that if you don't want anyone to mess with your locked phone via quick-toggle.
Some way to do that on AOSP roms, like Android 10 (Q) ?
Motorola One hasn't this option...

installing Pixel settings on stock

Hi everyone,
I have been searching for a way to install Pixel settings on stock Rom but i haven't been lucky so far.
I want to install the double tap to wake the screen option too in settings if possible.
Maybe if we can bring the extensions that are in AOSP Extended Rom to stock, that would be awesome.
So, to sum it up, i would like to know if someone have a way to install the below (all or any) on Stock Rom Android Pie the latest version (10.0.3):
Pixel Settings
Double Tap To Wake Option
AOSP Extended Rom Extensions
Oxygen Recent Applications Animation
I was able to bring the below to stock Rom:
Pixel Sounds
Pixel Look
Accent Colors
Pixel Boot Animation
All from Magisk Modules. So i was wondering if there is a modules for the above.
I have an unlocked,rooted and Camera2 API enabled Mi A2 running Stock Rom.

Sorry if this is a stupid newbie question but EU ROM and Global are not the same, right?
When you buy from Xiaomi, you either get CN ROM or Global ROM. If I am understanding this correctly, is Global ROM the version without Chinese bloatware sold outside of China and EU ROM is a custom ROM developed independently based on Global that can be flashed onto either Global or China ROM?
In other words, is Global version out of the box like the vanilla version that EU ROM builds on top of?
So for chinese region = CHINA ROM
for EU region = EEA ROM
for India = INDIA ROM
for all other regions = GLOBAL ROM
these are official releases by Xiaomi for devices for particular regions.
And then there is Xiaomi.eu rom which is a custom ROM (not by xiaomi but by a developer from community). This Xiaomi.eu rom is based on China ROM but is made available for any mi 11 ultra user irrespective of where they live.
If you have a phone which came stock with CHINESE ROM you cannot flash EEA/INDIA/GLOBAL ROM without EDL authorization (its a development access for xiaomi service centers to flash ROMS). So as a normal user you cannot YET. But you can flash xiaomi.eu rom once you unlock the bootloader.
Link to forum thread of xiaomi.eu rom:

Save about $500 if that matters to you and get the 12/512 version instead of overpaying for 12/256
Xiaomi is supposed to be cheap lol

All I know is that it worked for me, but then so many others brick their phones just flashing EU, so it's not clear what's going on.

maybe it's cause they flashed a custom rom.. the xiaomi.eu is not exactly an official rom.
but if you flashed the EEA or IN or GLOBAL rom, it's fine?
Can you lock back the BL after you flash EEA or GLOBAL star rom?
No idea, I just wanted to see if CA worked. It didn't.

Trying to relock would brick your device
I got the mi 11 ultra from tradingshenzen with the chinese rom , unlocked the bootloader and tried to flash the EEA Rom. The device bricked and I needed the help from an EDl guy . He flashed the global ROM on it.
Can I now flash the EEA or the xiaomi.eu rom by myself on the device ?
