Lock screen / notifications, Pixel style - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

Hi,
I recently switched from Pixel Experience back to MIUI global because I couldn't live with the adaptive brightness problems and relative poor battery life. So far MIUI works okay, I changed the launcher to Nova, but I really liked the black notification screen / OAD on the Pixel devices. Like this: https://www.xda-developers.com/files/2017/11/Google-Pixel-Always-on-Display.png
Do you know if there's a mod / theme that can add this, or style the current notifications? Thanks in advance!

There is magisk module named Pix3lify. I haven't tested it yet...

Do you want that on a LCD screen?

I would highly recommend HavocOS, it's probably the best aosp rom for the Mix 2S. It puts pixel experience to shame lol.

Yeah why not? Worked great on PE. And the screen also activates on the stock rom, only the layout is different.

Thanks, will take a look at that, however, if it's possible I'd like to stay non-rooted.

I'm sure they're already downloading and developing new sweet custom ROMs.
Can't wait for the AOSP ROMs to surface to get rid of MIUI!
Great news for me as a MiMix2S owner!

Will need a working Gcam Mod for this to be worth the switch. If you leave MIUI, you're going to lose all the dual lens stuff and camera software processing.

I imagine that would need some kind of hybrid ROM, as it's tied to MIUI resources.
Yeah, the camera part sucks so hard. I would love to ditch MIUI (although the gestures are fantastic). But one of the reasons I upgraded from a Mix 2 was to get the much improved camera. Hope they find some solution soon.
Mi6 still doesn't have a great solution. We're using the old ass port from mi a1. Maybe once the mi a2 comes out there's gonna be an improved ported version.

It's really a pain since huawei devices are getting damn near perfect ports, since I guess their camera apps aren't as closely bound to emui.

don't you always lose image quality when switching from stock to custom rom, no matter if it's a Sony, Samsung or OnePlus?
many OnePlus users still return to stock rom because of the worse image quality on custom roms.
I've never heard anything different than that.
correct me if I'm wrong.
It's for almost every brand the same: AOSP never came completely up to stock, because of the framework and optimization from the original builders: The OEM. But since we have many good devs around, porting the Google Camera to fit for our device, at least non-pro shots will be equal, if not better than stock. You can come close with several other apps too:
• Open Camera
• Snap Camera HDR Pro (Smells a bit abandoned, to be honest.)
• A Better Camera Unlocked (Also smells abandoned, but works fine. At least for now.)
• Footej Camera Pro
• Hedge Cam 2 (With the correct settings, you will get par to better photos than with stock. Based on Open Camera.)
For normal, I'd list Manual Camera and Camera FV-5 too, but both are too old and are for sure completely abandoned.

Micky,
based on solely the image quality - would you prefer a custom rom on the op5/5t or the stock rom? and even though you probably don't own a crystal glass ball, what's your stand on this when it comes to the op6?
thx!
I was and I ever will be a user of CyanogenMod / LinageOS. At least, you should switch one time back, because of this:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/open-ears-forums-key-actions-update.865969/
When this fixes come out, OxygenOS should really become obsolete in terms of image quality. But spoken of this: Isn't there a nice, working Google Camera port already out for the 5/5T? I skipped the 5/5T, because OnePlus really pis... me off for reasons - another story.

Omirom or omni treskmod?

Im on tresk now but whats better whats the difference?
Difference is you can choose what gapps you want installed with Omni. tresk has gapps already and so on.. also you could choose not to use gapps at all and go micro g.
Another thing is Omni has support on XDA.
Ah ok cool ty

You get better performance than omni with tresk, you get some pixel UI and experience. Nearly you get omni with some added features and modifications. The Google apps included in Tresk is so minimal, and it's always updated. There is no point in gapps.
You can also use Omni recents with Omni, not available with Tresk. Red flare Kernel (tresk) also have some RZ commits (although you could easily flash red flare to Omni if you want so, I'm using Smurf though, which work best for my use). In any case, both ROMs work really good. I prefer Omni at this point, but both are stabler than OOS
I've tried them both and both are great alternatives to stock. My only issue has been battery life, nothing I've tried comes close to stock battery standby. The performance tho I feel is better so if you are willing to trade standby battery time for performance, either could be a good alternative. With that said, battery life can often be subjective so it might be in your best interest to try them each a few days and see what works for your particular set up.

For me omnitresk was one of the beat ROMs out there , the only thing keeps me away is that the notification drawer is not the same as pixel devices or other aosp based rom , is much shorter and doesn't look nice

There is not much to see. Google how Android 11 looks and that's it. There are no extras.
I wish this was the Android experience Xiaomi offered for all their phones (of course with the bugs fixed), albeit some of their features are cool.
I was not able to install any apk outside Google Play Store for some reason, the Camera app is limited to the 64MPx and Front 20MPx, UI is not adjusted for the rounded corners so some text overflows behind that and I was not able to root the phone either. But still not bad and works fine even for a daily driver.

It just looks like AOSP (standard Android) as there is no MIUI or any other custom launcher/ui on top of that. And the appearance of that you can Google or find on YouTube etc.

Question Lineage OS 20 makes Pixel 7 Pro a much better phone(especially with Nikgapps, core, or basic)

Anyone agree? Performance is better than the stock. And gaming is overall better too. It's basically as if you're having a Pixel 8 DEVICE in the palm of your hand when it's just Pixel 7. I bet if Pixel 8 came out it'd be using lineage os 20 performance and stability. Anyone agree with that too?
One of the biggest set backs are the camera with custom OS
Afaik the camera doesn't perform the same.
it does on pixel phones, its just placebo
Have you tried crDroid? I'm still on November build stock rooted . Debating between that and lineage once I update, curious how they compare

You don't have music search or others features uniques to pixel on LineageOS but you can have them with a module on magisk if I'm not wrong
Lineage OS is great. Battery life is amazing. Performance is solid. And weekly updates via built in updater works fantastic. It's a clean OS ... Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but you can add some via magisk mods ... Overall, if you like a clean AOSP look and feel, you should run this. I've used Lineage since it was first introduced to the Pixel 7 Pro as an alpha then beta and then official .. take it from someone who's used it a lot . There is no ROM like it.
What about the call screening feature on Stock? This is the primary reason I will probably stay with Pixel indefinitely! Better than sliced bread! In fact as much as I hate curved screens (the 7 Pro's is not as bad as some) I will tolerate the curve just to have the phone calls from scammers/spammers, and morons eliminated completely!

So then the app somehow knows it's being run on a Pixel? Maybe it "sees" the Tensor chip? I wonder because why doesn't it work when you install the app on a non-Pixel phone?
