Why no stable custom ROM for A2 - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

I don't get it
Why no developer is working on A2
There so many custom ROMs for note 5 pro
At least Lineage os
And official TWRP

because a/b pattition
you can flash gsi, or convert a2 to 6x, it have some custom roms (aex, havoc, pe), but newer 6x stock rom (miui) have arb.

A/b partitions are certainly not the problem as there are plenty of roms supporting this already.

So what's the problem I buy this for all
Custom ROMs
And extra. Modes
To unlock other features
For better kernel
And nothing is happening
Should I change my device

There is no problem. Look at mia1, for the same period last year there was no rom. Be patient if not change your device.

Nothing is happening because roms don't fall from the sky. Find some devs. Donate hardware to them, pay them. Or wait.

LineageOS for the A1 was released six! months after the device got released. So we are still within the normal timeframe for rom development.

Wow, didnt knew that, but its surprising for me. Thanks for this info

not so much stable ROM because this device still new just released July 2018 back then and Xiaomi just released the kernel for developer (read it somewhere I forgot, sorry I can't source it). Give the devs who interested some time to experiment with it and we will see much more ROMs in the next few months.

People buy the Mi A2 for the android one experience, not to change The rom. Custom roms are usually close to stock

Pure android, dont need custom rom....why ?

True
Because
Not stable
Bug's
Not optimized
Custom ROM provide latest extra patches
And extra custom setting's
Root runs perfect on custom ROM
stock it's give problem
And best Kernel's for better performance and battery life

tbh i bought android one because i thought it was easier to get custom roms on it since it is a developing device

AOSP or LinageOS etc.?

Hi!
So I'm wondering if there is an ongoing developement of AOSP or LinageOS or other atlernatives for the Mi8, and if we will see any official beta release anytime soon?
I'm sick and tired of miui and all the system apps that's impossible to remove, and they keep fighting back to be default app. Grr! I would very much like a cleaner build, and would gladly be a beta tester. Although my experience from Mi5 is that miui felt more responsive than the linageos nightlies, I would rather have that and be able to choose my own apps.
Would I be even better off with this new Treble stuff?
Load MIUI 10 onto it, or global MIUI 9. Have no issues with default apps on MIUI 10. Had that with the original MIUI 9 China-rom though.

Are you able to remove all the Mi apps? Video, wallet, app store etc?
The fact is that I'm most fond of as close to stock android I can get, which is why I want AOSP. If it was possible to build AOSP on my own and still get camera, GPS and stuff to work as it should, then I'd do that.
I think it's better to have a rom built without bloat, rather than try to hide it afterwards.

Can you guide us into this MIUI 10 thing? I have china rom and unlock bootloader. No Root/TRWP or anything.
Just follow the steps here; https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/8-7-12-v2.44949/
You need TWRP.
Or wait till sources are released and there will probably be development available for AOSP/Lineage.
I have installed a treble rom (I think the RR one). The rom is working well but I went back to MIUI as Oreo doesn't support the notch yet.

Cool, was everything else than the notch working as it should? The notch is not important to me..
Aosp would be very good, always my first choice to use. Lineage can wait [emoji3]
Hope we have devs who waiting to cook the stock roms[emoji3] Otherwise I have to sell my mi8 and buy a OnePlus6[emoji26]

Dude, I'm just like you.
Currently running MIUI10 beta from Xiaomi.eu though. It's not perfect or as close to AOSP/Lineage yet but it's a TON better!
Ok Google still doesn't work & it's still on 8.1 though but it's still better than the MIUI9 mess

Because there is little rom development for this device?

Greetings Friends,
I have seen very little development or developers for this device is very rare because the A1 before releasing the Kernel already had development, and this device was already released the kernel but I still see little development.
Yeah i dunno why developers not intrested in this device
How long ago did they start selling these devices?
AsItLies said:

Longer than A1 when it takes first customs
Before Launching the source code of the A1 Kernel and there were ROMS and Magisk modules for this phone, the participation is very minimal, I think they were all for the RN5.
I just hope developers will have a look at Mi A2. Is it too early to expect development?

Lineage for the A1 started 6 months after the release.
edit: Also the Pie update is near so probably nobody wants to waste time on bringing up a 8.1. based rom.
Another thing is that it has Treble GSI A/B support, so you can install a variety of already popular roms right off the bat. I know a custom kernel is under development that has both overclock and underclock as well. I am currently using the Arrow GSI rom and it works very well. I have xposed and root, I also get way better battery life than with the stock rom. The only bug I have is the front flashlight turns on when I use the front camera. You can flash any of the A/B roms on this site if you want more roms.
It even includes Pie roms and lineage os. I see no reason devs would want to spend time making something that already exists.
They will most likely work on kernel development/tweaks to fix bugs in the already existing treble roms, like the camera bug in the rom I am using.

I mean there's really no such thing as stable when it comes to gsi roms unless there specifically built for the device like the stock roms and official builds of custom roms like lineage and RR. You can technically flash any gsi rom but there is a strong chance of device related issues. some gsi images work better than others. There's fixes for some issues but I myself don't know em because Im not on a gsi image

I'd assume it would be soon because the Moto x4 just got the Pie beta. That phone came out not long before this one.

The x4 has been out for well over a year now. There's quite a gap between it and the g6 series.
Wait around one year or so for the update to 9.0... Motorola/Lenovo has ruined the updates so I have lost the hope in this company ...

All of the arm/A roms including unofficial pixel experience and aosp by phh boot fine. Only problems I've found are no hotspot and Bluetooth and notification ringtones sounding garbled. There is a fix that requires deleting a folder from your vendor for the last two problems

"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

That's why, i can't give you any advice regarding them.

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)

Question Why there is no custom rom for this phone?

It's because still new? or the Developers look at the user is still too few?
Anybody could answer this? Thank you
There's custom ROMs coming, hopefully soon.
There's a few factors for why none is out now but main reason is that the device is still pretty new and has official Android 12 coming which would cause a lot of additional work to do if the ROM developer started with Android 11.

If you had looked on the first page of the 11T pro thread, you would have seen Xiaomi Eu and an AOSPA rom Alpha version.
