Hey guys..
I personally think that development for oneplus 6 has been slightly slow.
Official TWRP itself does not support MTP mode yet.
And surprisingly I quite like OxygenOS especially the Oneplus dialer and Notification shade/toggles icons and the fact that they are colored when turned on.
Is there any development on an OxygenOS based custom ROM that you know of?
and what would you prefer:
An OxygenOS based custom ROM
OR
AOSP/LineageOS based?
1. OnePlus 6 is still relatively new, give it some time
2. Since the 6 now uses the A/B partitions, it makes it a bit more challenging for developers, so again, be patient
3. I believe there are unofficial versions of TWRP out right now that support MTP (I could be wrong on this though)
4. There is unofficial Lineage if you want to give that a try, as well as Omni. There is are also a handful of OOS based ROMs available as well. You just have to give them a try and see which one you like best, as a lot of this is personal preference. I'm personally happy with stock OOS with root & Xposed
Blue spark twrp recovery supports mtp I've used it
The Snapdragon 845 sources were only released a week or two ago. Give it time. Then there's the A/B partition which makes it a bit more difficult.

would be awesome to get AOSP rom but not extremely laggy LineageOS which never works properly on any device.
Also, oneplus should have done AOSP rom out of the box !!
all software from oneplus must be come with open source as well as from Google !!

oneplus 7pro is so much better than oneplus 6,
I'm really happy with it so far.
that notch on oneplus 6 is absolutely annoying trash,
I hate everyone who are responsible for this idiotic idea !
and oneplus 8pro seems to be worse due to retarded front camera hole !!
such a stupid design !!
I'm waiting for under the screen camera.
oneplus 7pro still has a huge bezel on the bottom, such a waste of space !!
I wish they will finally will start making phones with only display on the front side of the phone, without retarded notches, holes, and bezels !!

Hello! I have been using A2 Lite for about six months now. I liked Mi phones. But I think A2 Lite is not up to mark as per the price charged. Especially, Android One experience. It lacks lots of features as compared to other MI phones in this range running on MIUI.
What are your thoughts on this?

That's the point of this phone. Stock android with no features. That's why you do your research before buying something. You could've bought Redmi 6 Pro which is basically the same device with MIUI rom.

Some very basic features, like scheduling a SMS, adding speed dial number, double tap to wake etc. Its camera's hardware is good, but it's software is not.

So, why dont you try custom rom? Btw, sms scheduling works with non-native app. Dt2w - Iam using fingerprint unlocking, the fastest. And I dont think miui has this feature.

Exactly what I said. You should've bought the Redmi 6 Pro then. Which means you didn't do your research.

Redmi 5A and Note 4, both have Dt2w, and they both run MIUI.
I bought this phone specifically because it didn't have MIUI on it.
Stock Android, unlockable bootloader. It's the first phone I've had that gets security updates too.
I've had it for a few months now and I still love it.
MIUI suck, give so many features that u might never use.
Those features consume CPU and battery, while stock Android has lesser feature but any feature you want you can just get them from PlayStore.
My last Xiaomi phone (Mi 4i), became super laggy until cannot unlock the screen.
Turn out it was MIUI fault because it became normal again after I flashed it with custom ROM.
From my point of view it's the perfect Android terminal.
I only miss one feature from MIUI : Scheduled turn on and off :crying:

Try flight mode, almost zero consumption. -+1%/night
This phone absolutely lives up to its price point of the $159 I purchased two of them at. Great screen, great battery life, decent processor that can handle mostly everything except high end gaming, metal body, 2 of 3 American LTE bands for T-Mobile, FM radio, IR blaster, security updates monthly with Android One. MIUI is a dumpster fire and if you wanted MIUI you should've bought a Redmi.
It's a great phone.
I'm still wondering why so many people who prefer MIUI over stock android bought the A2 Lite instead of the Redmi 6 Pro which is even cheaper. Personally, I wouldn't even touch a MIUI phone with a pair of pliers.

I am one of the users who has the problem of slow wifi in 2.4ghz when the bt or gps is active. The problem arises from the month of December following the update to android P. From December to today Xiaomi has not produced any patch to solve this serious problem. For me this is a serious bug and leads me to say that it was not a good buy.

I flashed a custom rom on mine and have no such problem, actually no complains about the device. It's just hardware, with a proper OS on it (stock is never that) it works really good.
I bought this smartphone right after it was available version 4/64. I can tell is the best smartphone i never had, The best quality/price ratio, Battery last 9 hours sot, now you can install many custom rom, gcam makes photos great.... its fast and the display is great. Im totally satisfaited with this device. If you miss Miui than its you that bought the wrong models phone

Hi, i think almost everyone here heard about the upcoming MIUI 11 update (rolling out from middle October in China). I'm pretty excited about that, but i have a question i cannot answer myself. Will the MIUI 11 come with the new OS Android 10 or will it come just as it is without OS update? I'm asking that because of two things:
1) I've read somewhere that Xiaomi already confirmed Android 10 for our device.
2) Instead the MIUI 11 Beta, avaible in China, is actually based on Android Pie
So...what are your toughts about that? Feel free to answer!

this is true for beta version, (mi-Globe / EUROM)
yes im already on MIUI 11, but it still based on Android 9 no doubt.
but the introduction of new features makes you want to use this ROM more and more (personal opinion)
system-wide dark mode still misses some notif/popup windows (its still on light)
AoD new styles are great, very artistic
they said MiShare is faster, cant feel it. but its not slow. i think it feels the same as V10
and the other features were there just before we hit MIUI 11. I guess this would benefit the stable users more.
its actually not a night and day change. you kinda appreciate those little adjustments. icons, stuff like that. not much for themes tho
its one of those regular updates that you want to jump into. and yea its kinda pretty cool.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'm sure i'll like it too! Just hope they'll push Android 10 before Android 11 lol. I'm okay with Pie, it works good and has a HUGE amount of apps and will support them for long time for sure. On the other hand, this device in Global version was born with Pie so...would be nice to see at least one major update. I've heard somewhere that Xiaomi launched Mi MIX 3 with Oreo in China so basically Android 10 would be the last OS update even in EU/Global version because of some strange thinking about their update politics

what's good about with Pie is that, stereo speaker mod is still working, and maybe it wont work on 10. still enjoying the mod
For now i'm not planning to mod my device, when support will be dripped, then il'll explore again the modding world
You guys surely know already but last china beta (9.10.10) is miui 11 based on A10... Not that android version makes any significant difference for the end user but well, always nice to be en par with google I guess

This is so true. I've learnt the lesson with Honor 8. They wanted to kill the device but after a lot of time and people's petition they finally released oreo. Now i'm at the first experience with Xiaomi but as i've read around they're used to update frequently their devices. Don't know so much abouth their policies about updates though, so we can say i'm just hoping that the "Two major updates" rule will be followed

It usually gets to a point when a device is dead unless community keeps it alive. And that is awesome. I actually choose my devices partly attending to their development support. I still have my old hammerhead, 5 or 6 years on, and it is running nice pie roms and surely some 10's will come. Last google firmware is marshmallow. That is really cool
Still, of course it is good and nice that a newish devices keeps being updated by OM.
In my case, more than android version I wish xiaomi updated kernel source, but that is way too far fetched I'm afraid.
Right now I'm using MIUI 11 9.10.11 beta version and it's based on Android 10. I'm on the MIX 3 Android 10 close beta group and get updated everyday. This rom is quite stable and the only bug I found is the incorrect display of RAM which has no influence on my daily using. Magisk worked perfectly and I got 68HZ display so smooth XD.
Can anybody tell me where is Mi Mix 3 ? Or Instead of Mi Mix 2 should be Mix 3 ?

Was thinking to flash it because China version supports 3rd part themes. But after unlocking bootloader there is no quarantee so Im not going to do that. waiting for global.
So, when my mix 3 global is getting miui11 or Android 10 update? Any possible date?

Yo guys! It's been a few months since the Xperia 5 II came out and still nothing on the horizon ..
Are there any developers working on a custom rom & kernel? The xda xperia forum is very quiet when it comes to this phone, it's a shame
I would love that one day we could have Lineage OS, or Resurrection Remix, Dirty Unicorn, Omnirom or even EvolutionX. Maybe it's just a dream?
The stock rom is fine but I do would like to have options
I would love to see Lineage on my Xperia 5 ii, I kind of want my XA2 back, which would now be running 18.1. But I guess we have to live with stock rom on this one At least the camera is lovely...

Well, sounds like a starter, but as Lineage enthusiast I'm only looking for a rom without Google, this sounds like the exact opposite. But I guess this one will make at least some people happy ;-)

I hope we do see custom roms soon. I'm still using my OP6 and I can't decide between Pizel 5/4a 5G or Xperia 5 II. Would like to go for the Xperia due to longevity but the lack development support is putting me off. If I get one, I will certainly root and remove any bloatware.

Let's hope for it! The device and especially display format of the 5 ii is really nice, and I love that it is compact and fits in my pocket without problems. Lineage on this device would really give a positive vibe about a longevity.
(BTW: yesterday I installed Lineage 17.1 on my fathers ancient Z5 Compact from 2015, everything works just fine and amazingly fast, thanks to getting rid of the google stuff. Now he can use it for some additional time --> that's sustainability. Let's hope for the 5 ii to be as longevity)
Had some issues last Night, but i'm syncing a fresh 18.1 repo with xperia device trees right now. Will take some Hours but i think i can share a first Build the next Days...

Any chance you can test it and tell me, if the camera is still working and has the same functionalities? I'm not talking about the fancy Sony Camera app, but the simple one delivered on stock ROM. On XA2 and Z5 Compact the Lineage 17.1 Photo App is quite ok, but of cause these ones have no triple camera. And as the 5 ii is not cheap I would like to be sure, that this key feature is working properly... Or that I have the possibility to get the stock camera app working.

You can ask directly to the dev, I think he must have tested the image before he released it.
I'm waiting for someone to try it too lmao cause I don't want to lose any stock features.
Anyway I'm pretty sure it will work, otherwise he would have mentioned it in the post I guess

Is there any update on your Lineage-Release? Unfortunately the published version from ken442266 has been discontinued and I don't want to return to stock
Hi, I like the phone but also I want to put some tweaks like 90hz display, custom roms, pixel 6 camera features(motion mode), kernels...
will we see a lot of development as in the xiaomi poco f1 or not?
thank you
If you have a Xaomi, i recommend keeping it a little longer. Roms for this devive are in a weird situation because the only 2 stable ones are calyx and graphene which arevboth great, but they are both very barebones and kind of difficult if you aren't experienced with degoogling

Yes, adding Bluejay is possible. Whether developers choose to do it is another question.
Velocity will be ready for public release soon. I'm just buttoning up a few more things.
I noticed with the phones I've own, custom ROM seem to get me frequent as the phone gets older and the stock rom releases begin to vaporize. If the phone has enuff hardware power n memory AND there's no more factory support (as in many older midrange Motos). The Moto G5+ and G5S+ had active 'post' communities as did the G6...I got a G7 cuz of 4gb memory figured it'd be a big post EOL project/rom phone BUT I missed the fact that moto was following google with the whole dynamic update w/ dual A/B slots which killed our beloved TWRP custom recovery and nandrive image backup.
BUT is u weren't into rooting/tweaking then that explains why Android Police named it the #1 phone for running LOS! Esp. after Moto released thr Android 10 kernel source code!! This is the main reason I didn't sell/trade it off...and ofc my wife put one of those sky-blue 2pc cases from Poetic and claimed it! lol
