The development of the rosemary is slow and I wanna install evolution x, but the unofficial version is only for mojito/sunny. Im scared that its going to brick/softbrick my phone if I do this. Will it brick if I install an official rom with mojito from xiaomifirmwareupdater?
Incompatible. Bad idea.
What would happen?
Is it a instant brick? Or will it be very buggy and slow? I only want to this due to there not being a supported twrp version for rosemary, and no custom firmwares. And no custom recovery. Only twrp version is for engineers and developers.
A ROM built specifically for another device won't work. If you want a custom ROM on Rosemary I would suggest learning about flashing GSI ROM using fastboot until ROMs specific to Rosemary are built which currently there are none that are released here on XDA
Does unofficial twrp have a rosemary twrp? Also does it increase fps? Im trying to get a light one like corvos. Since I have to be cautious cause my older device bricked when trying to install a custom rom
Yes unofficial TWRP is being built for Rosemary but it is in very experimental beta stage and is under heavy development. It will not give you miraculous fps increase
A slight one? Or just no? If no then il still check it out.
Should I use twrp? Or might it brick my device, or is it ready to install and factory reset?
Im not very experienced with mods all I need is a custom rom, root, twrp or a custom recovery and a custom boot screen. Does GSI give a custom boot screen? Or is it very slight changes?
Woah! It looks very nice, but, no custom recoveries? Stable? Or just twrp under heavy development?
If you are a novice do not install anything that is beta. To answer your main concern regarding FPS, the hardware is still the same regardless of ROM or TWRP.
Your options are limited to:
1. [Minor Factor] Google how to debloat MIUI using adb. This will free up resources marginally but not affect your fps by much
2. [Major Factor] Your FPS count is limited by how much heat is trapped causing the GPU+CPU to throttle. Cooling the phone while gaming like an attachable fan can work like it does on ROG phones. Get creative on cooling your phone rather than bricking a perfectly working one
Yes I know, but I find twrp easier than adb and fastboot tools. Its ok if it doesnt give me more fps, the important thing is that it doesnt decrease.
All I need is a custom recovery now. Do you recommend anything? Or there arent any?
https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-5-2-root-redmi-note-10s/
Is this the same twrp posted on this form? Or is it a 3.5.2 that is stable?
No official TWRP exists yet for Rosemary.
My suggestion is to wait until official TWRP recovery is made available. Keep a watch on the sub-forum for this device for any official news and releases until then
I used unofficial twrp on my samsung. That worked fine. Do all releases on unofficial twrp have to be stable? My samsung never bricked. So should I give it a shot and let you know? Also, do I need to flash disable encryption? with unofficial?
I dont know fi this sounds dumb but, im quite a noobie so, Does verify opt encrypt have to release for different phones? Or can I just flash the one on sourceforge?
STOP REPLY TO THIS THREAD !!! IT IS BULL**** !
Please moderator, close this !!!!
Dude, stop being so harsh im new to this stuff,
anyways, does this work as a gsi rom for rosemary? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-unofficial-11-pixel-experience-pixel-experience-plus.4269051/
SO IN A NUTSHELL, NO CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR THIS DEVICE?
You can't flash roms meant for different devices with different hardware, it will brick your device. It sounds like you don't know much about the processes so I suggest you start by reading some of the many great guides on the XDA forums first.

HI,
it's my first post here, i've bought a xiaomi x4, 4gb ram version, and i'm wondering which Operating System should i use in my phone; i come fom an iphone 4s so i'm glad to have the opportunity to install an open-source SO. I see lots of costum roms and really great stuff but i use the phone just for the browsing, e-mails, messages and phone calls so the phone has to be fast and stable; Reading around shows me that costum rom means "eventual problem with stability and functions...crashes.." and so i'm questioning myself, what's the problem with the official xiaomi global rom? does it have logger or something? and maybe it's possible to install a fresh standard version of an android open os or it has to be "coded" or "ported" for my xiaomi hardware?
Thanks in advance for any answer
Official MIUI is full of bloatware: China apps, useless Google apps, Facebook and MS office preinstalled and such. For your need, I recommend trying Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 if you like the look and cleaned from any xiaomi apps, else try xiaomi.eu MIUI ROM, or MIUIpro rom for unbloated software with good performance and battery life. without sacrificing features.

Not really. Try to get used to one. I'd recommend miuipro or xiaomi.eu rom if you want to stick to MIUI. If you want to try AOSP Nougat, I highly recommend official Resurrection Remix 7.1.2. On Oreo, I dont know, you could try Pixel Experience or Nitrogen. But I recommend sticking to Nougat, either MIUI or AOSP.
ok i understand! i think i'll gonna try miui rom.eu and Kernel Clarity, they seems interesting! and for AOSP did you mean This?
Well if you are just a casual user, i would recommend you to stay with the latest official miui rom. Its the most stable, fast and snappy rom for this device. Its ui is similar to iOS.
As Far as bloatware is concerned, if you can unlock its bootloader, boot(not flash) twrp through pc, flash magisk and then uninstall all bloatware.
Else just put them all in one folder and cut off background data for them.
I personally won't recommend you to flash custom rom unless you want to taste pure Android ui because custom roms are not as refined as official roms.
Rest is upto you!

this seems to me a wise advice! thank you! but what about just the kernel, it's the same argument? i think i'll start with your solution, baby steps!

yes and no. If a custom kernel is providing you a feature which is very essential for your usage(like fast charging or something), you can go ahead. Else there is no problem with stock one.
Another thing is stock kernel is GENERALLY safe from technical viewpoint. Custom kernels may/may not be safe because some of them just experiment with the device's voltage and other essential values which were earlier optimised scientifically. Flashing those may not be safe at all. So do your research really really well before flashing anything custom coz they might damage your device (that's rare, but still!)

Also, whether you step into this flashing world or not, never forget to backup your stock system, boot, efs and recovery. I have had experiences where my device just got dead without any reason. And that too without tampering anything. Everything stock with no flashing and locked bootloader.
Try AOSP ROM for pure android experience. (I'm using AOSP Extended with Oreo 8.1, work like a charm!)
finally my phone has arrived and i figured out that i bought a redmi NOTE 4x...to which section do i refer on this forum? the redmi note 4 or redmi 4x?
By the way i have a miui global 9.5 and i like it, very fast and smart! i don't see "chinese bloatware", what did you mean exactly?

How can i do all this things?
Recently I saw that there appeared a new kind of roms which need a special recovery and, as I could find, have something to do with easier update of Android version. Also I have seen a project: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659 which claims to have one rom file that can be flashed on a impressing number of roms. I saw the first comment by author which has a method to know if a device has support for treble and it is refered to run "treble check" app from play store on official rom. The thing is that I experimented and installed treble rom (lineage OS) from redmi 4x thread and did the check if the device is supported (the screenshot is attached below) and saw that on this rom it is supported, in contrary to MIUI. The question is about this controversion: is this device supported or not? Can I flash these ROMs from the thread? Are treble ROMs really like a universal flashable file for multiple devices?
If you flash GSI (Generic System Image) it will work on our device. Yes Treble roms are universally flashable if GSI is used, with some minimal modification for device specific. So porting roms will easier, and less time consuming.
Anyone can correct me, if i 'm wrong.

So if I flash the rim from this link specifically on redmi 4x, the device will have no harm at all?

Yes, but follow the instruction there. Our device is A-only device. Use the special recovery here for flashing. Or flash the lineageos 15.1 treble edition first just find in on our device forum.

I have seen that seamless updates require A and B partition. I want to know what I am loosing with this device by having only the A partition (what really is seamless update and how does it work)? P.S. sorry for being annoying.

As far as i know the seamlees update works this way:
In slot A you have installed any OS Example Android 8.1
In slot B there is a backup of the OS Om slot A
This mean you can install the ota of Android P (example) in one of the slots while you are on Facebook for example
Hello
I can't stand a phone without root, fortunately we have exynos models of s10/10+ here, though I see that only one rom is available for now, will more devs will cook roms and kernels later?
Also is it a pain to flash custom roms due to A/B slots like it's on 6t?
If we get an stable twrp the full world of GSI opens up.
For non samung roms (aosp) the chances for an S10 specific rom is close to zero..
I am confident twrp will be stable, all new phones get this first period where twrp is semi stable then gets fully loaded

can't wait anymoreeeeeee :crying::crying::crying::crying: LOL I preordered my S10 and it's here but I haven't used it properly so far, only at home and didn't even set it up fully... I neeeeeeeed twrp. root and xposed are available and daily useable.
Saw there is a new way of rooting the s10/10+.
But no new custom roms
when custom roms?
I think twrp needs more stability
I have the s10+ for a couple of days, I can live without rooting for now but the ads are a teal pain in the *** . As soon as the custom roms are rolling on s10+ it will give ne another reason to root
don't wanna sound rude but for what do you need twrp or custom rom .. just root it, install xposed and customize your phone ..
Hey, so first of all sorry for making a long post and I might repeat things for which there may be threads so sorry in advance regarding that, so moving on ,I just bought k20 Pro, while miui is awesome , I'm thinking of switching rom, but can't do it rn as I'll be traveling soon and don't want to risk bricking my phone, I'll do it asap after I return (in 1 week) so my questions are:
1) How to unlock bootloader?
2) How to flash recovery ? And which one , I've always used TWRP on earlier device, but some ppl I see here say Orangefox.
3)I know how to flash a ROM, but what is the vendor everyone keeps telling to flash and should that be flashed everytime installing new rom?
4) Do you lose support for hd in prime and Netflix after flashing rom? If yes how to bring it back (if possible ).
5) ROM recommendation! I've used Lineage os on my previous device, so close it would be good, recommend something which is stable and fast , I don't use much customisation, and should be close to stock Android, as less bugs as possible.
6) Anything I need to know about the device? Something which will help me in future.
Note:i I've upgraded to Miui 12 so please try base answers on that version. I have Indian version of phone.
Thank you to the folks reading this and answering!!

Here's a guide to unlocking the bootloader. This is from the official MIUI global forums.
https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Stick with TWRP. Get it from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568 get the latest version. Orange Fox is a good choice of you stick with MIUI or a MIUI based custom ROM. Otherwise TWRP is the better option. Flashing instructions are there. You shouldn't need to flash the vbmeta patcher.
Check out my guide here, read the thread as some of your questions are answered there including a basic overview of vendor and firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-guide-flipkart-owners-t4151007/post83329343
If you are used to LOS, then you may as well stick with that. It's as stable as any ROM for this phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/development/rom-lineageos-17-0-t3976469/post80406191
If you stick with Indian firmware and vendor, you should keep widevine L1.
If you get in a mess, follow this guide from the official MIUI forums to restore the phone with a fastboot ROM.
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
You will need to view this page in desktop mode, if viewing on a mobile.
You can get the latest MIUI fastboot ROM from here.

Hello there, i am using redmi note 9/10x 4g currently on miui 13 Android 12 and I wanted to install a custom rom in it.. so anyone could please give me a full guide on start to end.. i have already unlocked my bootloader and k want to install a custom recovery and after that a custom rom.. so please someone give me a full guide for this miui version..
Thanks in advance..
First of all, it depends on what ROM you would like to use. I use Project Elixir which is based on Pixel Experience. The maintainer is no longer active so you rely on yourself. The newest 3.4 version requires MIUI 12.5.4 Global (or EEA if you end up with a soft brick) as it's based on the R vendor rather than the S vendor. You can find all other information either on the GitHub or Telegram group. (Yes, feels weird to use Telegram) Here's the quick guide https://github.com/ProjectElixir-Devices/Wiki/blob/tiramisu/merlinx.md
Redmi Note 9 has a codename merlinx in this case as there's already a Motorola phone with a codename merlin and many people were fooled and got their phones hard bricked. Since this is a MediaTek chipset, you don't have any A/B partitions. If you don't follow the guide or flash the required firmware, you will end up with a beautiful error, maybe even a permanent one. The easiest way for me to flash the ROM from the crdroid recovery was the ADB Sideload method as my SD Card wasn't picked up by the recovery. Make sure you have a reliable USB connection that won't get interrupted during the update. You may find a lot of missing stuff and glitches in the ROM like purple battery indicator when in landscape mode, random freezes, a stock battery widget is broken (Android 13 build issue in general) and so more. There's no custom battery indicator when charging on a full shutdown. You will have a default MIUI one.
