[Poll][Discussion] MIUI

Hello fellow XDAers,
I am waiting for MIUI 9 to drop so we can pull that into the kitchen and cook. I am going to attempt to work with the new system, I haven't ported anything after Jellybean. So with that, I wanted to see who was on-board to potentially want to try MIUI.
Two things; One - I am not saying I am for sure going to be successful, but I will try. 2; MIUI 9 release date is expected to be end of May or early June 2017.
Feel free to have a discussion of MIUI here, I will also use this thread for small updates in regards to MIUI.
--- Small Post Update ---
MIUI 9 ?
Here is a small list of features to potentially look out for in the new version of MIUI. This is a leap forward into Nougat from MIUI 8.
Multi-window support
Quick-reply from notifications
Optimised dose mode
RAM optimization
Improved data saver
Always-on VPN
Call screening feature
Dual space feature
Dual apps

I have honestly never once run a MIUI ROM. Im not quite the flashaholic i used to be (especially now, as finicky as the v20 seems to be), but i could be game for flashing it a few times to kick the tires, see how it rolls.
Am i to understand that it does not have a home screen/app drawer for stock launcher ala iOS? it does retain androids ability to change launchers?
Is there anything "must see" on MIUI? ...not so much eye candy·· I don't care about bling so much, im all about that utility.

Read miui is the best u can find

Hello! We have all been there with the flashaholic syndrome. It's a fortunate disease ? the V20 is a unit that is quite more finicky than most, but surely not the worst.
Initially, this will be a project starting off with the 918 and working into other variants as I relearn Android and what the new systems look like. It is a launcher that emulates that of an iOS landscape. Yes, you still have all of the ability of changing launches, etc. Must "see" would be animations, style, small 'functionality' pieces like that of the battery bar rather than a battery icon and so on.
It's more or less a eye candy piece of OS rather than something slim, although it is still smaller than a factory image. More "bloated" than a aosp rom but still functions greatly under the right environment.

Gee, long long time since playing with any new Mi Miui 9 is supposed to drop within 60ish days. I will pull the patch rom and play with that. It will be based on nougat!

I'm excited to hear that, good news for our v20 , thanks on avance bro ???

I have attempted MIUI 8 but there are too many differences in the framework(MM vs N) to patch correctly. I was going to patch 9 in once it releases but if you want it you can have it.

Last time I had miui is when i ported it to the skyrocket in the jellybean era. Would love to see it again. Back when porting ROMs was simple

Collaboration is better when its on big projects. something like miui wont need a collab. Now if you do get stuck then sure ill certainly help.

Would love to have someone seriously try to get a stable Miui going. Ran it back in my old Droid X days and really enjoyed it. Good luck and I hope you can do it.

From the skyrocket era the camera was the biggest pain in the ass. Now its everything but the camera thats a pain in the ass.

Added some minor information to OP about Miui 9 itself.

Are you talking about Miui 8.2 the stable global builds?

Why custom room?

I see a few "home-brewed" roms out there but not with their difficulties to install and possible soft bricking.
I don't see any of these roms beating out simply sticking with stock, rooting, exposed framework w/ gravity box, V4A, and secure settings.
This is all that is needed for me to be happy. Until an official rom comes out that has this phone figured out with gapps and have all these mods built in and a bit safer to flash, then maybe then.
So, all in all, I'm happy until this happens. Any one else happy with their set up as of now and if an official rom comes then fine time to play some more?

Because custom rooms on phones are much cooler. You can flash any color paint you want on the walls and even flash yourself a man cave. J/K. But seriously, this is the first phone I have ever owned that I'm actually satisfied with the stock Android experience. When I was using an HTC Evo 3D back in the day, I grew quite fond of MIUI so I would love to see an Oreo version of that down the line. For now I'm sticking with stock. I never tried Lineage OS so I may try that as things progress, but not as a daily driver. There is a version of Lineage for my Nvidia Shield TV that I may duel boot to and play with before I try it on my Pixel.

There are a lot of MIUI launchers, if that's the experience you're looking for - see https://play.google.com/store/search?q=miui launcher . (An app is an app, regardless of which phone it's running on, so the fact that a particular app is running in an HTC won't change anything about it much, if at all, it's just the launcher that makes the real difference.)

What I was actually stating is that the stock Pixel ROM is actually quite nice and useable even for a power user. Whereas the stock ROM for other phones I've owned were the opposite so I actually needed to run a 3rd party ROM to truly enjoy my phone. As far as MIUI, the launcher was not the reason I liked it so much. In fact, I really enjoy the Pixel launcher. (#1) When running a real MIUI ROM you have the ability to master toggle Root. This is a security feature and you can turn root off entirely when not needed and turn it on only when needed. (#2) The built in firewall is very handy. It not only allows you to select which apps can connect to the internet and which ones cannot but specifically which app processes can and cannot. I am able to stop Google services from sending anonymous info behind the scenes while keeping basic functionality of Gapps. (#3) The built in permission manager. Much more advanced than the permission manager on our Pixel 2 phones being that on MIUI there is a list of permissions most people don't know exist. These permissions are not configurable and hidden in most ROMs such as the ability turn off an apps access to your phones unique ID (IMEI, serial #, etc). These advanced permissions can be configured for both user and system apps alike. Again, just giving an app the bare minimum permissions it needs to function correctly without anything extra or intrusive. In addition, I really like the settings menu layout as well as additional settings not found in most AOSP ROMs. However, the last version of MIUI I really used like this was Jelly Bean based so I can only imagine how far it has come since then and I'm looking forward to trying an Oreo based version on my Pixel some time in the future.

I was about to purchase pixel 2 this weekend. While big brother (pixel 2 XL) having certain screen QC issues, I was thinking to get smaller one (even though - not big fan of small screen, small battery and huge bezels, but whatever). I remember my good old days with Nexus 5 with tons of custom ROMs. I was thinking the is going on right now with pixel 2 family.
I was shocked that there''re no custom ROMs so far. Wow... Even TWRP is in beta stage, but pixel 2 has been released months ago. That's weird....
Am I missing smth or got blind all of sudden? Why there''re no custom ROMs???

Well I just wish they could have done it this month, we don't exactly have custom ROMs to be able to wait till then

Same.
Also, pie has no changes worth it for me.

Someone who likes to tinker with his phone this phone is abit useless to me considering there are no custom ROMs existing. Not only that there are still quite options that the current version is missing such as the ability to be able to actually have stuff on Glance. I'd rather have Ambient Display. Pie in general is useless but in this phones case I'm hoping it brings the changes I need

Yeah that is certainly true what you say, ambient display been able to function in a custom ROM is quite useful indeed. I hope it too, to have custom ROMs available to flash and use. It would be awesome.
My point was just about there is not real noticeable change from pie over Oreo.

Well if 8.1 was perfect then they wouldn't have needed to make 9.0
But then 9.1 will likely be out a bit after 9.0 so 9.0 is already assumed to be imperfect (but then nothing ever is truely perfect is it ).
The assumption is that each update builds and improves on the previous one. So if there is something new that the teams of people who develop android have built and I can get it for free then why not have it?
But I do get what your saying, it's not like there's anything wrong with 8.1 on our device at the moment.
It's hardly a big deal If we get it in 30 minutes or 30 days... we're still getting it :laugh:

With the Changes of Pie they could just say 8.2.
But that wouldn't sell "that well".
They are lifting the major version insanely quick for very little features...
Back with Android 4, they did just add .1, but 1.
Damn annoying of you ask me.

Which Custom ROM is the most "naked Google ROM"?

Hi, as several CROMs are available -is any version well known to be (nearly) a clean Google-Version, so that it appears like a Pixel?

Are you actually able to get that camera app to save the slowmo videos? I can't seem to get it to actually save. It seems to be taking the video then when pressing stop it crashes and there's no video there. It does work with a 5.3 version of Google camera.
I've tried playing with some setting in the new 6.1 camera to get it to save with no luck, what setting are you using to have the slowmo videos to save?

In bsg mod settings, there is "enable g.photos". I have that checked and don't have issues. Not sure if related...

As of February 25th, Lineage 16 Pie.
Basic, with just enough customisations.

What is the consensus between Slim and LineageOS?
Looking at moving to one of these, growing bored of stock Sense.

Personally using RR. It's los but with more added in.
Slim is just that, a slimmed down version. If you don't need a whole lot and just add apps, go for that. If you like to change buttons and stuff, go los, if you want fonts and extras go RR. They each add a little onto the next.
There is obviously a lot more involved, but you get my point

LineageOS (my ROM so i'm biased):
- The only ROM driving forward development at the moment
- Has extra customisations, but definitely not as much as RR
- Is what other ROMs are usually based on
Resurrection Remix:
- device tree probably almost identical to LineageOS. Kernel is practically the same too.
- On the ROM level, it has extra layers of customisability over LineageOS
Slim:
- Very cut down as the name suggests, less "Google" and more AOSP-like right now

Just installed LineageOS and still in the middle of setting everything up, but my review do far is "wow".
I feel like I'm using a Pixel.

Question Custom ROMs for the 6a besides graphene?

I'd like to install a custom ROM on my 6a, and graphene didn't satisfy me, so I'd like to know if anyone's found any others that i could try out lol

I'm looking at Calyx, and it seems like it would actually work. Graphene didn't work for me because all of the apps it came with were out of date and didn't work right, but given the fact that Calyx uses well known privacy focused apps, it looks like I'll be good to go once they've come out with their Android 13 update lol

Been running Graphene on mine since it dropped. Only issue I've had is some of my games don't play well with it. Software, am I right? /shrug

yea im waiting for custom roms. im getting impatient. im considering buying a pixel 6 or 6 pro so i can have some custom rom love

First of all, they're not out of date. They're the latest from AOSP. Oh, and they DO work right.
Second, if you don't like, that's what makes Android great -- install alternative applications, I suggest from F-droid.

Please don't write things that are demonstrably false. The truth is inverse of what you have written.

To be fair, the graphene apps have a popup that tells you its apps are not meant for your current version of android. Also they're in my opinion painful to look at because they don't comply to the system theme

Exactly! Finally, someone didn't act like i didn't try it before i said i didn't like it lol

I'm hoping by the time the end of the year, twrp will finally update to support android 13

Oh look, another stupid telegram roadblock. I don't know why I try anymore. Stock is just fine anyway

Why does xda love insecure shady crap?

I'd like to install a custom ROM on my 6a, and graphene didn't satisfy me, so I'd like to know if anyone's found any others that i could try out lol

Just run Stock, you are better off, if you need to optimise just root and debloat, much better alternative to Graphene os or Calyx IMO. if you don't want to root debloat using adb. Best of luck

Id be surprised iif that were the case. Android has changed, but twrp usuallly adapts sooner or later

This thread is custom roms for the 6a. I just posted what i found. didnt mean to upset anyone by mentioning telegram or an actual custom rom. some people like custom roms, like me.

More to the point, custom recovery is pointless when you have fastboot.
