As of now, Xiaomi has promised us MIUI 11 based on Android Q, which is to be released in Q1 2020..
Yes, they provide OTA updates time to time..check out the updater app it, informs you bout any pending updates...
Honestly speaking updates are very late, they make us wait for a long time for almost nothing, just security patches and few negligible fixes...
Anyhow i dint buy this phone for updates and versions though., custom roms are way better in providing latest updates

But Violet hasn't received the best of custom ROMS yet, this will take a while, also lack of kernel sources prevent devs from making Custom Kernels for MIUI..

So I've gotten an Mi 5s Plus for my wife but she wants a more up to date version of Android than what Xiaomi is releasing (current is MIUI 8.5/Android 6.0.1) as they take forever to update.
Obviously I don't want to be tech support moving forward, and I'd like her to be on the latest version of Android. I just really want this to be a set and forget sort of thing, so assuming it would need to be a base ROM of some sort from a major releaser, hopefully there is something released with everything working.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what ROM i could use on her phone so that she doesn't have to worry about updates as she will just receive them OTA?
As with myself she also will require the phone to be NON-ROOTED for her work, along with banking apps (which I'm assuming you can always remove root/lock the phone after installing the ROM).
I don't mind if its a version of MIUI or not but I'd like it so that all the features of the phone still work which I'm assuming would be MIUI.
Thanks for any help.
I think Xiaomi.eu weekly ROMs have OTA, but I'm not sure.
If not than maybe Lineage OS.
Ressurection Remix definitely has OTA.
https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
Have you tried the global developer ROM? It is quite stable from my testing and is updated nearly every week. It is Android 7.0.
Are these OTA updates?
Is the global developer rom certified so that Android Pay works?
Also I'm assuming the updates to this are OTA, if I miss a couple weeks can you just update to the most recent one?
Ressurection would be interesting, thanks. Does it support Android Pay?
@umirza85 Not sure. I'd try but I've rooted it.
I really want to ask a very stupid question?
But will project treble help extending our phones life by giving it Android P ?

There is not much difference in nougat,oreo and android p. everything looks same with some tweaking they are giving new version names. so we will get android p possibility are there. in my case these are minor updates. real version updates should be like kitkat to lolipop. we need that kind of updates but our device won't support if we have that kind of major updates because so many devices ended up with kitkat so instead of major ones they are decided to release minor ones to give old devices new features.

It all depends on whether Huawei plans to include Project Treble in the Oreo upgrade. With Project Treble, timely security updates and possibly Android P upgrade will come to our device.
No proper announcement has been made regarding Project Treble for Honor 6x.
Hello there,
I'm using a custom rom based on Nougat. Everything is good, but I have concerns about security. I know that Nougat is discountinued now and most people have moved to Oreo or even better Pie. Last security update was in 2018 and then was abandoned, those security updates I haven't got on my device can affect me? Can I still try by myself to install the latest security updates manually?

No, you would need to build the ROM yourself each month with the new security updates in it.
Where do I find them?

Should I decide I would like to build a new ROM where would I find the Updates?
I just purchased a new device, dual SIM 4G LTE with Android 9.0 using a BDF-X20 rom. It ships with Android Sec Update 5 May 2018 and the vendor says there will be no updates. 19 months out of date is a little much in my opinion.

As posted in the link above, Android 10 is set to launch on September 3rd.
As far as i am aware, manufacturers have to configure the Android 10 so it works optimally with their devices. And this process takes time to complete.
Does anyone rember how long it took to get Pie, when it was released for our device ? Thanks
Regarding Pie release: The first post in here appeared around November, while Pie itself was released around August. So it took roughly 4 months.

I am (was) in the Pie beta testing group and if I remember correctly, I got the upgrade around November indeed.
According to a Xiaomi Online Support attendant, 10 will start rolling out in UK this week.
When it's about updates, online supports often says what we want to hear
So wait and see...
Any news for Android 10 update?

No! It shouldnt be january!
Mi A2 Lite has pure Android.
- No Bloatware
- No UI
Plus our device supports Project Treble. They used this feature with Pie update. Our device's drivers didnt updated since 2018 because of the Project Treble they dont need to update those. But it will be good if they do.
There is nothing to be hard.

The hard thing is that xiaomi has problem with our vendor, that's why we don't see fully working custom versions of Android Q , the only way is flashing a gsi version , or Android 10 with custom vendor , so... they have big problem , mi a3 has the same problem , that's why the device is still on PIE (they have promised that the Q update for A3 will come in the end of October)
So... we'll see , miui 11 is still PIE too... so maybe the problem is not that small

Since pie builds with custom vendor is in user opinion "more bugged than with sock vendor" I don't if there is sense to make custom ROMs with custom vendor if users days it more bugged than stock vendor, otherwise I'm still trying to build superior q, of course with custom vendor

nevermind
I was wondering when we will get the Android 10 update
Wondering the same .....
Probably not for a while, since I am not aware of any rumors of betas, even closed ones.
No respectable company should be pushing out a new product with a two year old OS, but here we are...
I like MIUI though, very Apple-like and the Mi Note is the first Android I am using without a third party launcher.
The update is on the way in February. (CC9 Pro China Developer ROM)

Hope you are right....
its release in china as beta maybe after one month or less
Most likely delayed because of coronavirus....
Got security update yesterday and miui 11.0.8.0 but still no Android 10....
Xiaomi is a joke. Second update in a row just for the security update. They will lose a lot of customers if they continue like this

Nope.
It will come when it's ready.
There are other brands out there so just buy something else.
Cmon relally? You heard about corona, or? There was not really a lot time this year for developing new roms..... BTW Android 10 is currently in Beta available for Note 10....
