Flash PixelExperience in Redmi Note 7 Pro without VOIDING Warranty

Is there any way to flash PixelExperience in my new Redmi Note 7 Pro without VOIDING the Warranty??
Pls help me out if there is a way.
Thanks

Your warranty is not void if you unlock the bootloader officially . You can root it without any problem. But be careful while using the phone , if its your mistake that you damaged your device, Mi may not be able to repair under warranty.
I have used the service of Mi under warranty more than 3 times and my phone is unlocked and rooted. But they were different scenarios and i don't see these cases of my negligence. All were hardware issues which can be seen normal in many locked devices too.

Well today, now i am on xiaomi.eu, 2 hrs before i was on cesium os. But i get back to xiaomi.eu cause i like it as i like miui and this rom removes bloatware from miui and add some tweaks too.
So overall its good more customized miui.
If you ask which rom i have used till now in violet
RR, PE, CESIUM, MIUIPRO, HAVOC, ION, SUPERIOR, CRDROID, DOT, OOS(PORT)
Overall most of the roms i have tested both android 9 and 10 (most have both versions and tested both). But came back to miui cause my requirement was not met as i needed inbuilt call recording and app lock, fingerprint, facelock.
I hate external ones cause they don't work upto the mark and can't compete with miui in this case(from my point of view)
There are new ROMs being built daily but no one cares to add something new, just one or two tweaks and will change theme and add or remove some functions and will be released with a new name[i am not hurting anyone] but seriously its happening i can take the names of roms which are almost same but names are different cause developers are different. You will also see many roms will have same bugs too. [eg. Network Switching]
[I fully respect the developer's work and their hard time committed to our phone's development.]

Yeah, miui.eu has been my daily driver since trying out many roms from my RN5 Pro days. In terms of stability and functionality, miui.eu rules. Cant understand the popularity of Pixel Exp, its a crap rom in comparison imo. I guess people just want something different and thats why they go for it.

Agreed ,but a huge reason why these ROM's win over MIUI is basically Performance and a clean UI. The Pixel exclusive features help a lot as well. Also the lack of custom kernels for MIUI is a factor. Well using Magisk+EdXposed you could get the same level of app lock and call recording...

Yes, but i am using miui.eu, its working smooth and playing pubg mobile, never get any lag , moreover the magisk+xposed can compete miui call recording but applock of miui is far better as its fully integrated with system whereas other applocks are not much secured compared to miui one.
Pixel experience is a good rom but you can see the no. Of roms being released with mostly same features but different themes but instead of this 2 or more these developers get together and make one rom with combined features. As it may also be less buggy.

Yeepp. But I disagree with the applock statement. We don't know what sort of protection MIUI uses whereas apps like MaxLock is open source, consumed negligible battery and gives you 512 bit encryption along with various advanced options if needed.

Okay, i haven't used it but most of the applocks ,will work when the app has been opened and it will be shown for some milliseconds and then it will draw itself over the app.

Oh that's why this one uses EdXposed/Root. It detects the launch of specific apps, rather than running all the time and there's no way to bypass it.
But there are some troubles running it in Android 10.

That's why i use miui? because if one problem is solved there is another problem which is ready to raise
Safety net
As with xposed safetynet will not pass...

Moreover i am confused why mi has not updated violet rom yet. Its almost 2 months now , no weekly china update.
Most of the phones has got 20.x.x developers update but violet is left behind till now.
May be they are ready to give Android 10 surprise?

While Pixel roms gives clean UI, Miui.eu gives all the perks which other custom roms miss. I'm in same state as of OP as I actually need Call recorder, and App lock so miui.eu is the best choice. Its smooth, stable, bug-free. I can clearly compare 2 phones, one with stock miui and other with eu rom, EU win hands down any day. I haven't yet found a custom rom with all miui perks and pixel ui. I will happy switch if anyone makes that.

Would a "frankenstein mod" be possible?

Good morning everyone,
My question is: would a "Frankenstein Mod" be possible to realize on Poco X3? what I mean is using the base of the MIUI, removing ALL xiaomi apps and service and replace them with AOSP ones, basically keeping MIUI skeleton and having anything else from AOSP, except for the bare minimum needed to not make everything crash.
It may sound bizarre, but as the kernel is yet nowhere to be seen and custom roms have all some issues, if doable that would be the only option for people who uses the phone as a daily driver and needs everything working without xiaomi spyware/bloatware, except for yet not replaceable app like camera (which we still don't have 100% working alternatives).
Thank you for all the eventual replies and clarifications on this!

It might have already been done

Hello, fellow XDA-er.
So, since nobody replied, I decided to do so.
Take what I say with a grain of salt, of course, because it's all about personal preferences.
In regards to your question, I might be mistaken, but I got the feeling that the Xiaomi.eu custom roms did exactly that - keep the bare minimum MIUI funcionality and everything else pretty much AOSP.
I used it for about 3 weeks, before other custom ROMS started showing up.
Keep in mind that I followed the UNBLOAT guide from this very forum and it turned out great.
The thing is (and this is why I told you to take it with a grain of salt), I usually prefer a AOSP ROM and then just use whatever launcher I want, which I usually go for HTC Sense.
HOWEVER, my girlfriend also has a POCO X3 that I bought her and she prefers using the POCO Launcher (available in the PlayStore), which gives her the good old feel of a stock POCO X3 ROM, having obviously the perks of using an AOSP-based ROM (in our case EvolutionX).
So, in summary, I think that what you want has already been achieved and can be done either way (depending on the settings ui you might want):
1 - Install a Xiaomi.eu ROM and follow the REMOVE BLOATWARE guide from this very forum - that even has a guide showing which apps are safe to remove and which are not;
2 - Install whatever AOSP ROM you want and then just use POCO Launcher.
The only difference you'll end up noticing (in terms of GUI, not gonna discuss performance) is basically the Settings UI and layout and also the Quick Tiles.
Everything else should pretty much be the same.
Depends on what you want.
My PERSONAL advice, based on my experience?
Use a highly customizable AOSP-based ROM (EvolutionX is great, as I said) and then install POCO Launcher if you want.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

First of all, thank you so much for taking time to reply, much appreciated!
Is the .eu more polished then? I may consider that option as a base maybe!
I don't really like the MIUI, I bought this phone for the awesome hardware for the price (185€ for the 128gb is a steal, couldn't resist), but I really want to drift away from MIUI as soon as possible. I've been following the custom rom scene, but it's still at the beginning, despite the great work of the devs, the lack of source is holding it a big back, so there are small bugs here and there which the stock hasn't, and some camera functions are not yet available on gcam and other third party apps.
That's why, while waiting for perfect lineage/AOSP roms, I was thinking about a MIUI base (which at the moment is the ROM who has everything working) with AOSP apps replacing all the Xiaomi ones (launcher, phone, dialer, gallery, file manager...), and if possible able to kill all those suspect process the MIUI has... don't know if that can be doable, but would be a great temporary option, as I wouldn't also be able to flash often the roms and would prefer something to keep for months or until something super stable comes out.

Question Is it possible to flash stock Android to the POCO X3 Pro?

I'm coming from a Mi A3 running stock Android 11 which I love.
The screen on the X3 Pro is a delight to behold for my poor old eyes but there are a few things that either I don't like in the MiUI or just aren't working properly. Is there any way to flash stock Android 11 on this phone?

You could take a look at LineageOS, it's pretty much the purest custom rom out there.

Oops, I guess that we can't delete a post!

Thanks for chipping in thorin0815. Yes I have seen a few "How to" articles but can't seem to find a really good description of how well it runs and what the pros and cons might be. Do you have any idea of how close to the pure Android experience it would be and if there are any major pitfalls or disappointments that have been reported? The phone I have came with an unbelievable 2 year warranty and I am reluctant to flash a system that I might regret at a later date.

If you will use Google Play Store, Google Calendar, Google Pay, or Google Apps, then LineageOS will need some adjustments and modifications to let those Google Apps services work properly. And possibly some banking apps may not work.
Whether each ROM pros and cons are, it is subjective. For example, customizations, for some people it's useless, while some people wants more customizations.
Try and error, flash a ROM and feel if that ROM fits your need. You know what you need, we don't know.
Most users starts with ArrowOS.
Pixel ROMs UI looks like Pixel phones.
LineageOS is completely open source.
I don't know other ROMs.
Read each ROM thread for each features, and possibly read some recent replies for update informations.

Question Which is the best performance roms for OP 9?

I wonder what is the best room for performance in OP9 even optimization?

There is not a huge difference it's all personal preference.

Stock rom

Debloated OOS and some magisk mod tweaks.

I've tested custom rom my choice is Syberia

Stock or AOSPA imo

OOS

*Syberia is the most customisable and so far seems very snappy.
*Elytra OS The most aesthetic UI and fast kernel
These two ROMs are my choice for #bestROM.
*Pixel extended is the perfect Google experience
*CRDroid is also another one worth mentioning and the Dev is very friendly.
*Stag OS was the first 13 rom and is very stable also
*lineage OS is the most basic Custom rom and easy to flash.

Exactly this. They're all pretty great.
For A12, any ROM with OOSCAM and a current security update is amazing.
For A13, ElytraOS is very impressive, and the maintainer is very active in what feedback is given. StagOS As well, but that maintainer is/was supporting A12 and 13 while ElytraOS came in on A13, so has just had more time to focus just on it. Both are great.
And now with Syberia (one of my favorite OP6 roms) on the scene, It seems you literally can't pick incorrectly, all are winners.
All my issues have always come from incorrect OOS update prior to flashing a ROM (see: PEBKAC), Android and/or its various changes itself effecting the Apps I use itself or an underlining bug that's from lineage (that all start with as a base, at least on every OP devices I've run with an android OS) that's out of the maintainers control.
For now, I'm back on Pixel Experience A12, but will return to A13 ROMs once it matures a little further and apps stabilize on it (preferably one with Google AI call screening enabled by default.)
I'd also take note of the few ROMs that offer vanilla builds that allow you to manage your own exposure to GApps, or none at all (ex: CRDroid)

OOS13 is so damn beautiful but hate the idea of trying to root, remove bloat/spyware, optimize it all while in Beta.
I need to try it at least once for a week or so.

nothing beats the stability of OOS.
i use some filming ang photography apps. i have tested these apps with most of the popular custom roms. the apps develop issues that do not happen in OOS.

Question Which rom should i use for a daily driver

Hi all!
I been thinking about getting a custom rom on this phone ever since I got it (it's my second xiaomi, after my first one I thought it's probably the best to skip MIUI entirely). But since then I couldn't figure out what to get. Some say EvoX is the best, CrDroid has some cool features but can't find much about it being a daily driver, I heard lots of bad things about the PixelExperience and I'm holding out on LineageOS until an offical port comes out
Main things I'm looking for:
Camera to stay as good as with stock
Fast charging with all of it's 67W glory
5G
Privacy features
Thanks in advance
Logan

best in what?

how bout Evo x as your daily driver...?

I use elixir and its working great for heavy daily usage

Honestly? MIUI EU rom works flawlessly for me, fast enough, stable and has a few extra mods. Custom ROMs aren't what they use to be... Bugger all features and lots of bugs due to half-ass development and the fact this isn't a hugely popular device.
