Hello fellow XDAers,
I am waiting for MIUI 9 to drop so we can pull that into the kitchen and cook. I am going to attempt to work with the new system, I haven't ported anything after Jellybean. So with that, I wanted to see who was on-board to potentially want to try MIUI.
Two things; One - I am not saying I am for sure going to be successful, but I will try. 2; MIUI 9 release date is expected to be end of May or early June 2017.
Feel free to have a discussion of MIUI here, I will also use this thread for small updates in regards to MIUI.
--- Small Post Update ---
MIUI 9 ?
Here is a small list of features to potentially look out for in the new version of MIUI. This is a leap forward into Nougat from MIUI 8.
Multi-window support
Quick-reply from notifications
Optimised dose mode
RAM optimization
Improved data saver
Always-on VPN
Call screening feature
Dual space feature
Dual apps
I have honestly never once run a MIUI ROM. Im not quite the flashaholic i used to be (especially now, as finicky as the v20 seems to be), but i could be game for flashing it a few times to kick the tires, see how it rolls.
Am i to understand that it does not have a home screen/app drawer for stock launcher ala iOS? it does retain androids ability to change launchers?
Is there anything "must see" on MIUI? ...not so much eye candy·· I don't care about bling so much, im all about that utility.

Hello! We have all been there with the flashaholic syndrome. It's a fortunate disease ? the V20 is a unit that is quite more finicky than most, but surely not the worst.
Initially, this will be a project starting off with the 918 and working into other variants as I relearn Android and what the new systems look like. It is a launcher that emulates that of an iOS landscape. Yes, you still have all of the ability of changing launches, etc. Must "see" would be animations, style, small 'functionality' pieces like that of the battery bar rather than a battery icon and so on.
It's more or less a eye candy piece of OS rather than something slim, although it is still smaller than a factory image. More "bloated" than a aosp rom but still functions greatly under the right environment.

I'm excited to hear that, good news for our v20 , thanks on avance bro ???
I have attempted MIUI 8 but there are too many differences in the framework(MM vs N) to patch correctly. I was going to patch 9 in once it releases but if you want it you can have it.
Last time I had miui is when i ported it to the skyrocket in the jellybean era. Would love to see it again. Back when porting ROMs was simple

Collaboration is better when its on big projects. something like miui wont need a collab. Now if you do get stuck then sure ill certainly help.
Would love to have someone seriously try to get a stable Miui going. Ran it back in my old Droid X days and really enjoyed it. Good luck and I hope you can do it.

From the skyrocket era the camera was the biggest pain in the ass. Now its everything but the camera thats a pain in the ass.
Added some minor information to OP about Miui 9 itself.
I've offered testing to me2151 and I'll offer it to you too. If you need a guinea pig for testing purposes I can help out

Hello, the DP2 on the OP is based on the BETA 2 (DP3) of google, so maybe next week we will have the BETA 3 (DP4)
most probably next week as the OP Android P beta is every month

I'm just hoping Bluetooth streaming is fixed in this new beta. Aside from that it seems to be a perfectly stable daily driver.

yeah and hopefully they make the device certified and pass safetynet. I tried changing the fingerprint of the device but to no avail so I switched back to 8.1 because of the BT and it not passing safetynet

Can you confirm that?
It just seems odd that the DP2 for the OP6 would be based on the Google DP3, why wouldn't it just be called DP3 as well...?
I understand we didn't get the Alpha DP1, so there's been an assumption that we're out of sync, but it would be good to have something official on this.
I guess one way to confirm is that issues and fixes are in line with the Google release that's numbered a DP ahead.
That being said, if we're getting preview releases a week after Google releases them, that's great news for future updates! Well done project Treble!

I can't confirm it at 100% but the dp3 was release 1 week BEFORE the DP2 for the OP6, I tested it and it seems really close to the DP3

OnePlus released Beta 2, not DP2. It is a fact that OnePlus 6 Beta 2 was based on DP3. The next version (Beta 3) will be based on DP4.
Do you guys think that they will release the next P beta with Pixel's navigation feature? It's what will make me move to the beta.

Those gestures are part of the pixel launcher. Remove the launcher and gestures are gone. Easily ported to other devices.

Why would anyone want that? You might as well have buttons (to each their own though).
It should be here before the end of July.

Why would anyone not want that? It's just an option and not mandatory, you can still use old nav buttons if you wish to.

Pixel Dust is pumping them out now: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pixeldustproject/files/ota/sailfish/ There is no thread for it, though the PD 9 CAF thread has some discussion at the end.
Both work fine but the normal customizations haven't really been implemented yet.
EDIT: And there's stock, of course.
EDIT 2: My criticism of the 10/13 build seems misguided - I now see that my Nova launcher hasn't been playing nice with 10. @John Louis
EDIT 3: New Pixeldust build out 10/22 - seems pretty solid. Starting to love the gesture navigation control.
Pretty simple question. The beta builds rarely get talked about. I don't know how compatible they will be with any of the "tweaks" I like. But with Android 11 in sight I would like to start partaking in beta builds.
Thoughts? Experiences?
Thanks in advance.

Not bad not good, they just add fixes and add and remove things to try them out. I'm on them from day one and had no issues
Hmm. I'm thinking I'll wait until we get closer to Android 11. I'm comfy on 10.3.1 right now. Sounds like it's worth paying attention to changelogs though.
Thank you

I find the beta to be snappier and faster in response time, but it lacks a certain smoothness that the normal release has. If you're a performance junkie it's worth it to upgrade and use a custom kernel.
Well, I let my phone make the decision for me, and said the build number is older on beta 9 so no go. I think this cements it for me, I'll be waiting for beta 10 and then I'll make the switch. Thanks again guys.
I returned to the Pixel line after several years with OnePlus, wasnt happy with the 9 pro at all. I know ROM development isn't as big as use to be to be across the board for all android devices but I remember running some sweet roms that had awesome features on my OG pixel.
How was the ROM development for those who came from the pixel 6 / 6 pro?
Sadly it's no longer what it used to be like.
6 series had 3 or 4 custom ROM and two were just secure version of aosp so no customizable

Yeah I figured that was the current trend. Hopefully we get one or two good ones to mess around with
I'm really pleased with the magisk module AOSP Mods, along with Repainter and Project Themer.
These enable many mods & themes, making stock feel like a custom rom in that sense, though without any of the potential bugs. Certainly keeping me happy until a custom rom option becomes available, but having a stable stock rom with the tweaks I'm used to is a nice setup.
Look at all the development for the Pixel 6 Pro (obviously, the Pixel 7 Pro just came out, so only one development thread so far).
+1 AOSP Mods
Pixels don't really get a lot of ROMs because there's not as much of a need. Pixels don't have a bunch of bloatware that people want to get rid of and the majority of custom ROMs for other devices are already pretend Pixels anyway using Pixel style launchers and spoofing Pixels to get their features like Call Screen besides the AOSP variants like Lineage or the privacy/security AOSP builds like Graphene and Calyx.

Development takes time and for Pixel phones that can be a while because they are the first to introduce features and standards that Google is rolling out for Android. The methods and procedures have to be updated and that adds on to the time.
The Pixel 1 was absolutely barren in the beginning, it had many underlying changes to how Android works, the ROMs you remember were all coming out towards the middle and end of the phone's life. It didn't get LineageOS official until 16 almost released, it took unofficial ports of 14 and 15 to work out the problems.
Same thing is happening again with the Pixel 6, and again with the Pixel 7. The scene was lucky that between the Pixel 3-5 there weren't that many large changes and development was rapid. Things are finally starting to pick back up for the Pixel 6 after Android 13 released, but it's still a work in progress. The Pixel 7 isn't that large of a step past the 6, however it's still going to take time to bring things over, probably a few by the end of the year and most others within 6 months.

Just search on Google for the following tweaks/mods app:

Search Play Store for the following theme apps:

Got it thanks. loving AOSP mods.
Because of how similar the 7 is to the 6, its actually off to a much faster start. It took a while for anything to come available for the 6, and in fact, I was the first to share a pure AOSP build for the 6pro. It took several weeks before GrapheneOS was available for the 6. It took less than ONE week for GrapheneOS to have first builds available for the 7 (go get it!).

If you use Pixel Launcher, you can look over at TeamFiles on Telegram. There's one module that allows you to select what themed icons you want to use as well. You can view some different styles below, the TeamFiles variant is close to Google's version and has 1000+ themed icons.

I don't see why it wouldn't be the same as the Pixel 4 XL Android 13 experience, but yeah. Changing the icons worked fine, I didn't try replacing my Google Search widget, but I know changing the tint of the recents background didn't work either. If it does work, then make sure to turn off 'window-level blur' in developer settings otherwise your live preview of your current app would just be a blurry mess, lol.
