Stock Android for Redmi 6? - Xiaomi Redmi 6 Questions & Answers

So I'm not the biggest fan of MUI and I really really want to use stock Android without buying a new phone. Is there a way to get stock Android on the Redmi 6?
Thanks!

That's exactly what I am going to do because I don't like MIUI too...
thanks to treble, you can use the rom you want (oreo or pie, aosp, LioneageOS, Pixel experience, ...)
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
Caution!! redmi 6 is only A/B compatible.
But I don't know what's working and what's not... (calls, LTE, notification led, fingerprint, cameras, ...)
1. have to unlock bootloader (I'm a this step, my BL is unlocked now) https://www.techdroidtips.com/xiaomi-redmi-6-unlock-bootloader/
2. have to install TWRP (and make a backup of the MIUI rom) https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-6/development/share-twrp-3-2-3-redmi-6-t3866979
3. have to flash the choosed rom from TWRP
4. optional: flash gapps and root from TWRP
I just have to find e free moment to test if treble works correctly on the redmi 6.
I will give a feedback on this roms when I will have tested.
At this moment, we don't know how the HelioP22 mtk proc works with custom roms.

Hello,
did you manage to install stock Android on your Redmi 6? If so, does everything work fine? Do you recommend it over the original MIUI?

Do you know which GSI rom could work better on redmi 6? (with camera, fingerprint)
Is the helio p22 a problem to flash one this rom?
mtk you'll never have a new Android version
That's why treble is a good solution.
All phones in 8.1 Can be updated via twrp with GSI roms.
Which vendor zip and system image (A-only or A/B) is best for redmi 6?
I did not find any custom rom oreo for redmi 6.
Xiaomi Qualcomm SoC have many custom rom.
Redmi 6 needs only A Treble roms.
Arm32 (sometimes called ARM)
But problems exist to enable sim working well.
So, for now, no custom rom.

Official twrp for redmi note 6 pro?

Any news when will Redmi Note 6 Pro receive Official TWRP?
Regards,
Has anyone been able to flash Pie GSI's?

everyone, I found that night light twrp works with me but after install using pc, you have to wipe factory reset and flash adb.zip (or smthin in post) to get permanently twrp + internal storage access. you can find night light twrp from redmi note 6 pro forum

Google "GSI list", there is a list of roms you can flash. I am using pixel experience 8.1 at this moment. PS: you need to flash magisk or you will get bootloop.

Android 10 on Redmi note 7 pro

Any details about release date of Lineage Os 17 for Redmi note 7 Pro Violet?
Why this device is so behind?
Many others have got it
If you want you can install the Android 10 GSI
U search in telegram? Sorry Violet not lavender
Lineage Os is always preferred over any other GSI. Because once there is lineage os there will be other roms too as most of them are based on Lineage OS. So, I'm waiting for lineage os 17 for VIOLET..

Intersting for mee too.
L.Os.
This device is not for EU & USA...
Guys, Pixel Experience for Redmi note 7 Pro based on Android 10 is here. It is still in beta form but actually its quite stable and far better than any other GSI. Everything is working fine except some minor bugs. So, if you want to enjoy the Pure Pixel Experience of Android 10 go ahead and install the Pixel experience. Green flag from my side.
Thanks....

Yes, PE comes with GApps in built,you don't have to download any. Some reasons to use them include:
1)Better Battery Backup
2) Custom Kernel Support
3) Performance
4) Features
5) Exclusive functions from other phones
6) And a lot more..

No, you cannot install it without GApps. You don't get an option to do that in Pixel Experience.
Pixel Experience for Redmi note 7 Pro (Violet) just got an update. It's still in beta but many bugs have been fixed and now I don't find any bug. Using since 1 day (power user) and haven't encountered any bugs yet. Cheers

Ah no, thanx.
I have stock rom with GApps.
Ill wait L.Os, or something else, or leave stock rom, if clean it sucesfully.

WARNING: The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro is no longer maintained.
I am a long time Lineage User and I was heartbroken to see this. Even if the last build was stable enough I would had stayed on LOS but alas with voice calls, wifi display and many other bugs in daily usage apps I had to abandon it.
I couldn't go back to MIUI it's horrible in terms of keeping the apps I want active.
So I went to Pixel Experience and not the Beta 10 Version, I will update to it once stable, Currently on Pixel Experience 9. It fixed all the issues with the last Lineage build.
Here is what the official page says:
WARNING: The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro is no longer maintained. A build guide is available for developers that would like to make private builds, or even restart official support.

So, which Android 10 ROM do you think is best for our Redmi Note 7 Pro (violet) right now?

There are two options:
1) you purchased Redmi K30 with so called "Global ROM" (firmware from Poco X2). In this case you'll have NFC but it's removed from X2 Settings (software). So, install TWRP and flash xiaomi.eu ROM (latest so far is 20.3.5 or Stable 11.0.13.0), then flash patch for hiding root and unlocked bootloader from Google Services - and you have NFC working!
2) you purchased pure Poco X2. In this case I'm afraid you don't have NFC anyway

Magisk is a bit buggy. Fails CTS profile and stuck on bootlogo upon installing certain modules.
How do you install magisk anyway? I am currently using MIUIeu 11.0.13. Patched boot.img with magisk & flashed using Twrp. Passed ctsprofile.

Redmi K30 is the chinese version, so there's clearly chinese apps.
The bootloader is sure unlockable. TWRP, root and custom ROMs (xiaomi.eu) are available, so installing multi language ROM with no chinese apps is sure possible.
Redmi Note 9 Max... - I'm not sure that it was presented at global market... I know for sure that Redm8i Note 9s is the global version of RN9 (not Max).
Bottom line:
if you find clearly "global version" RN9 Max - and YOU'RE OK WITH NO NFC - go for it. Its advantage over K30 is bigger battery (5020 mAh vs 4500 mAh).
The major advantage of K30 is NFC (and Sony IMX 686) over the Redmi Note 9 series.
The processors (730G vs 720G) are quite on peer (730G has a bit overlocked GPU and that's it).

Well, I love my K30 (however in my particular item the screen goes a little bit into yellow shades).
The great performance, battery life, camera and NFC make it a great choice.
The only thing which is better in Redmi Note 9 series is a bigger battery. In all other K30 is IMHO a bit better.

POCO X2
So if I'm using custom ROM on my POCO X2 and just in case if I want to change. Can I revert back to MIUI and still get OTA updates. Will the bootloader status be locked or unlocked? Has anyone tried doing this?

Which xiaomi.eu ROM should I download to convert to Poco X2 and where can I download the patch for hiding root and unlocked bootloader from Google Services?
Thanks

Here's xiaomi.eu website:
https://xiaomi.eu/community/
Chose MIUI 12 dowmloads or MIUI 11 stable ROMs. Then find your device in the firmware list.
Just flash it via TWRP, no "hiding" patches are needed, GPay will work at default.
If you want to back your phone into Poco x2, try these simple solutions
1. Download both fastboot rom for k30 (China) and Poco x2 (global).
2. Extract both ROMs on your computer desktop.
3. Open China rom folder then delete the images folder.
4. Open global rom folder then copy and paste images folder into the China rom folder
5. Flash China fastboot rom, it boot to Poco x2 global rom

flash rom zip
reboot to fastboot
flash fastboot twrp
fastboot boot twrp
reboot to recovery from twrp menu
now boot into os by reboot to system in twrp
one time process i guess!!!

Question Redmi note 11E Pro Global Rom query

Hi all,
Aliexpress sells Redmi Note 11E Pro's unlocked with the global ROM. This apparently removes the NFC ability for the phone.
A question for any users that have bought this phone:
1.Were you able to change to a custom ROM (eg. Arrow OS) and get NFC to work?
2. How did you do this? Did you have to install the China ROM first and then install the Arrow OS Custom ROM?
Having read many of the questions about bricked drives, it's just got me worried.
I'm coming from a Redmi Note 4X - I know but it is such a trooper that only after 5 years it it starting to get sluggish for me so just trying to get a handle on whether anything has changed from when I last flashed a new phone.
Thank you for any and all input to the above.
1. sure
2. No need to install CN ROM. Proceed with the installation of the ROM you want right away.
You can just use the xiaomi.eu ROM and make sure you download the VEUX rom and not the VEUXG as that is only for global devices but if you want something other than MIUI you can do it right away
Pixel experience on 11e pro 5g not working NFC, how working?
