Dear people,
I bought my girlfriend's 5X from a shop which shipped it with the fake 8.5.6.0.0. Following a tutorial, I was able to install MIUI 7.9.7. I am interested in installing pure Android, she misses her Moto G experience. I have seen several tutorials with ports from the A1, but all seem to be only for mobiles without fake ROMs originally. Does anybody know how to install a nice stable (and ideally, updatable) A1 port? I am not aware I opened any bootloader or anything while I installed the MIUI 7.9.7. I also don't know if I need to be aware of different types of 5X, I don't know if it is like in Samsung with different processors. I am not very adept with MIUI, I have had mostly Nexus and Samsung mobiles myself.
Thank you very much in advance!
Regards
Up, waiting for a kind reply!
Dear,i need your help

Hi. I am sorry but I am not that expert on Android. I can tell you, after following a couple of tutorials from here I was able to install Android One, so MIUI shouldn't be difficult. Mostly, you have to make sure your bootloader is open and then follow exact instructions.
Good luck!

I have a sixth sense for when a device has been all but abandoned, and I am getting that feeling now. Considering they just released a huge MIUI update without the Mix, I can't say I am particularly hopeful for the future of this phone. May be time to throw it up on swappa while it's still worth something.

The "huge MIUI update" you are referring to is MIUI 8.2. If you check your device info, you'll see that the Mix is already running MIUI 8.2. This is why you didn't see the Mix in the list of updated devices.
Now, regarding the Nougat update, considering Xiaomi built a lot of hype with the Mix, it is unlikely that Xiaomi will abandon this device.
But Xiaomi has a history of abandoning some really good devices like the MiPad. So we'll never know.
Well, no, its 8.2 global. A global rom doesn't even exist for the Mix. So I consider that a huge update.
N for the mix is already in testing according to mods on the eu and official forum. Also recently saw a listing for the mi mix EVO with a qc835, plus the CEO wants to build another mix....My gut feeling is this phone isn't going anywhere and we will have N within a quarter. Remember the s7 just got N on carriers in the US this week.

Oh.. that does not sound any good. Do you think it can have something to do with norwegian language/menus?
Should i change ROM? I mean is it a lot to gain on it or is it the same thing? And if i do, will i be able to get norwegian language? I am completelly noob do need all the answers with a tea spoon
I also wonder why the phone does not sudgest an uppdate for 8.2 - does it mean that i cant uppdate my phone for future?

You won't receive any updates as long as you're on the Vendor ROM. You need to flash to the EU ROM or one of the custom ROMs in this forum using the guides provided. The guides are quite straightforward. So you'll safely boot the ROM you want providing you follow the guides EXACTLY.
I personally prefer the Xiaomi.EU ROM and I just checked the languages available on this ROM for you. Found "Norsk Bokmal" in the list of available language options. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is Norwegian. I am not sure though as I don't know the language.
Cheers!

Whilst in no way invalidating the examples of times when their support wasn't great, there have also been times when Xiaomi's support for their devices has been well-above-average - someone recently posted a thread on reddit detailing one such example.
So we can't read too much into previous devices as a guide for what will happen with the Mix.
These sorts of threads appear for almost every device - it doesn't matter which device or which manufacturer, they inevitably pop up. People convince themselves they know what's going to happen and, most of the time, they're wrong.
Not to mention, Xiaomi have publicly stated the Mix will be one of their devices to be updated to Nougat.
A pretty unnecessary thing to say if they're secretly planning to ignore it.

Rooting the phone is not a necessity to flash the EU ROM.. You should flash the dm-verity and forced encryption disabler patch on TWRP if you don't plan to root. Follow the guides exactly and you'll be fine.

Ok, ty for pointers! I have not full understandig of what the different words mean when it comes to flash, twrp and even root. I will have to read a lot before starting.
But i have to root in order to get epic rom, right?

No, you have to unlock your bootloader only and flash TWRP using fastboot. But after installing Epic you're rooted anyway. Epic is pre rooted. For unlock procedure google unlock Xiaomi for example. Best is you start here:

Gesendet von meinem Xiaomi Mi MIX
Mine updated to 8.2.2.0 OTA just fine soon after I got things setup [it wanted or offered the update soon after being turned on - but I needed to sort stuff out first]. Abandoned ... hardly ... having run 7 on the Honor 8 and the Mate 9 ... its not THAT huge a thing to wait for it to come along through the usual process. Give it time and be patient, phones only a few months old anyways.
Hello Devs !!!
It has been several months this cheap poor man's phone is out there but I don't see any Dev even looking at it . Phone is pretty good but I hate its interface .
I was wondering if someone will take some time and have some root info with couple ROMs. Some people like me will be thankful.
Thanks

Yeah I'd be happy to at least have root so I can tweak and run root apps and run some stuff it's got a good amount of resources
Yes, I have this phone as well and I'd love to be able to load a custom ROM. I'm not really a fan of the interface either. One of the things I don't like about it is that they installed their own custom "Start" lock screen on top of the "stock" lock screen, which doesn't really look stock. It was easy enough to fix. I just changed the unlock method from "none" to "swipe" and disabled the "Start" app. There are a few other minor issues, lack of updates, the launcher (easily resolved by Nova though) so it would be nice to see some custom support. It is an excellent phone for the price though.

Thanks, actually had found that thread, didn't realize that's the one you were talking about. Was hoping there was a separate forum for the Vivo XL2 - tried the custom ROMs as posted on G+, but the camera issues were a dealbreaker for the kid. Am in rooted stock ROM currently with Nova Launcher cleaning up some of the "Carefree" bullpucky, but would LOVE to get rid of the nonsensical swipe-up-for-notification-settings crap.

In the first post you can search Stock ROM BLU VIVO XL 2 V0070EE / V0070UU. So have ROM 3.18.35 kernel.
In the second post you can look TWRPv3.2.3-0 for 3.18.35 kernel.
In the fourth post you can see Nougat 3.18.35 kernel ROMs. So these ROMs have both (front{selfie} & back) camera working!
I'll stop any question here in this thread!!
So... Hello there people of the internet :silly:
I am totally new to all these Custom ROMs, Kernels and whatever the heck else is out there as well, which is why i´m extremely confused about the possibilities i might have.
Long story short: I am absolutely dissatisfied with MIUI so far although European laws affect my device. The amounts of trackers my PiHole blocks is just redicolous.
This is why I am in desperate need of assistance: I never had the urge to change my ROM on my old phones so far but MIUI drives me crazy.
Which custom ROM would you recommend to me? I´ve done some digging and came across Resurrection Remix, LineageOS, Pixel Experience and HavocOS but I am open for everything as long as it works.
Obviously I´d like some sort of privacy protection and interesting features.
As I´d describe myself as somebody who´s absolutely no idea about ROMs and all that (I´ve no clue why I should use another kernel but why not?) i am in desperate need of your assistance.
What is the most stable, beginner friendly ROM for my Mi8 out there? Do I have to keep an eye out for anything specific? And most importantly: How can I switch my ROM properly without risking the so called "hard brick"? (It sounds bad but ive no clue what the difference to a softbrick is. I mean: Brick is brick ) I also came across a Anti-Rollback. What do I have to look out for?
All in all
Please Help
Thank you very much in advance.

I'd suggest you to try Pixel Experience. You first need to unlock your bootloader, then flash TWRP and then flash the ROM. You won't risk any bricks if you follow the tutorials. If you want help feel free to DM me.

So why not look in the 'guides' forum and follow the guide that's already been used by so many? You can read the comments to know what issues others have run into, pretty much everything is in there.
Put some effort into it, if you get stuck, ask questions in that forum / guide.
I am a noob here, having no experience whats so ever about flasing roms.
I bought y700 from Aliexpress and you guys probably know it came with this fake "Global" rom which restricted a lot of og functions from the tablet.
As far as I know from browsing this Thread
1. its better to just flashing the original chineses rom back right?
2. I have found this steps by steps guide
link Is it fine to just follow this?
3. Do I need to learn some knowledges before doing this? if yes, i will be really appreciated if you guys can also provide the specific links to them.
Thank you in advance.
