Hey there. Currently I'm running ArrowOS, but I really miss the options MIUI had, like native dual apps and screen size flick. Could I go back to original MIUI, but still have it rootable? So I can install magisk on it?

Of course, you can install the stock ROM that was previously onto your device and revert it to stock again without unlocking the bootloader, you should need to format data because they are very different ROMs.
From there you can start again, flashing TWRP and/or rooting it.
same here, tried so many roms then finally went back to xiaomi eu version. much better than my Indian official version.
Do the MIUI roms still only allow the stock launcher if you use gesture navigation?

No, you can use any launcher, I used Poco (ok, from Miui), Nova and ADW, it works for all of them.
Which one ROM do you recommend - EliteROM or xiaomi.eu?
For me is EliteROM, only this run stable, rest of custom rom generate custom restarts, dont know why. Perhaps only in my device, mayby is hardware issue. I've some of first models, buyed few days after premiere.

Weird. I've switched to xiaomi.eu and it only allows gesture navigation with the stock launcher.

I'm giving a new Honor 6X to my father in law, and he needs something that's reliable and everything works. He lives several hours away so I won't be there to help him, and he can't tinker with his phone.
Phone is unlocked and rooted, and I installed twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin recovery already. Android version doesn't matter, this just needs to be 100% working and reliable. Even a stock debloated ROM would be fine, but I can't find anything like that and it's a PITA to manually debloat the stock ROM.
What can you suggest please?

U can give Elite ROM 7.2 a try.....but it isn't perfect in terms of magisk, permission manager etc minor bugs- better performance than stock
LOS, AOSP have performance issues imo
I tried almost every ROM and finally settled with stock if u want most stable and everything working accepting poor optimization of RAM and performance of EMUI 5.0
Here's a guide on bloatware safe to remove made by me https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-list-bloat-software-emui-safe-to-t3700814 - it could sound boring, but manually remove bloats on EMUI is the safe way to achieve a "clean" rom (stable the most, overall) for your father in law, actually. Hope it could be helpful.

Yes, this seems to be the consensus. Can I stay rooted on stock without the bootup nag screen? Or can I remove the bloat without being rooted? I don't think system apps can be removed without root.

Hi,
I've been using Nexus phones for years, and I'm thinking of buying a Mi Mix 2S. I don't really like the version of Android that Huawei ships though, and I'd like to be able to install a stock ROM. I assume that this phone will have Treble support (since it shipped with Oreo) and that, because of that, it should be easy to install a custom ROM on it.
Is all of this correct? Will it be easy to install a custom ROM on this phone, or should I go for a different phone?
Your thread follows similar questioning to mine. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/help/phone-support-project-treble-t3769780
It does look like it will support Treble and will make roms easy to create.

You know this is a Xaomi phone not a Huawei phone... you won't get the Huawei stuff on a Xaomi phone... although Xaomi is probably further from stock android if you are looking for a stock experience

I doubt it!! Nexus phones are way easier and less finicky!! Mi Mix 2 is my first and probably last Xiomi phone!! Pain in the ass to unlock, and flash roms. You constantly have to format data which wipes phone. Take time to backup everything including nandroids. Wouldnt be so bad if had an sd card

I am looking at this device, as it seems to tick all the boxes (one of very few).
Why did you feel it was such a pain to unlock. I read over the process for the 2, and it doesn't seem to be complicated (though you have to wait 72 hrs). I've had much worse.
I get that an SD would help (the only box it doesn't check for me), but if I've been flashing ROMS for ages, and backups is just part of the deal for me, so I use Ti Backup.

I also have been rooting for years. I starting jailbreaking iphones in 2007, when it was a very long process. As You stated, this phone is almost perferct as for my needs. Bootloader issue was binding. Had to try several Chinese VPN to get it to pass properly. Again, the issue with having to format data!!! I like to flash on the go sometimes but never will on this phone because of the likely hood of getting into a bootloop. Its not a compldeal breaker for me but I may not ever get snother because of it. My nexus 6p, j could flash anything and worst case scenario, I restore with Nandroid.
Dont get me wrong. It has been a good phone with good battery life. Beautiful design. Camera should have been better. In the end, I dont like having to be reliant on needing a computer near bye in case something goes wrong.
Xiaomi phones are pretty easy to unlock bootloader although sometimes you have to wait a week or use some VPN that have Chinese route, so it's very simple to install custom ROM on them.

If youre coming from or going to a Miui based rom you need to format data! This wipes everything. If your jumping from 1 Aosp or similar rom to another you should be ok to dirty flash. As always to avoid issues, its always good to clean flash ( this does not mean format data) so not to bad if youre staying with a non-Miui rom. What I am seeing so far are various issues on non Miui roms with this phone!

Just happened to unlock my Mix 2 a few days ago. The process is pretty complicated with an odd 72h waiting time. Became really nervous after wiping system+data and noticing that flashable ZIPs had been wiped by unlock process. But managed to sideload latest OmniROM weekly (0408) and GApps. All is working well now - fully satisfied.

Treble forum, Treble AOSP, Flasing Instructions no one knows what will work and what wont work because as far as I know noone testet it on 2s(at least no one reported it). Flash on your own risk but it should boot on every treble enabled device and most stuff should work
I am pretty happy with Oos on my 7 Pro, it's complete, stable and super snappy, but the one thing I want from Aosp roms is the AOD. I don't know if any of the custom roms is stable enough, bugless and as fun as Oos? What are your experiences and did you return to Oos or sticked to one of the custom rom?

I really enjoy custom roms, like HavocOS for examples, however I and a small number of others experience a WiFi connection drop out issue, which forced me to come back to OOS.
However, running xXx magisk rom, xposed (for gravitybox to get features back) and a custom kernel (Arter or Bluspark for example) is absolutely the best for me right now. The phone is nippy fast, everything just works.
And this wifi bug occurs with all custom roms?
If only Mwilky can integrate AOD to his magisk rom....

Ye wifi prob is almost in all ROM expect carbon ROM at least for me I didn't face any issue...
I for one never had the wifi issues on AOSP. I thoroughly enjoyed the customization, battery life, and quickness of AOSP roms but had to go back to stock because I kept deleting all my data by not flashing DM Verity to stay decrypted. Had to protect myself from myself lol.
I just replaced my Mi 8 Pro - great phone - too rare to get any real community support - was running Havoc on that and it was a great zippy setup (SD845, 8GB RAM etc) with the OP7Pro. My reason for doing so is it's the only (bar Android One and Pixel) phone mantufacturer (read Android distribution) that I could envisage running wihtout unlocking the bootloader. and flashing a ROM. I need a clean (locked bootloader and not rooted) device for reasons I wont go into in this thread, and Oxygen OS was the only choice for me really. Love it, and have been using it since the rocky beginnings on the OnePlus One after the Cyanogen bust up.

Its well worth it Bro. MSM Xtended has the most features and Bliss Rom is my second favorite due to the extreme amount of SOT i would get with and both are just overall better in every aspect in comparison to stock. The only feature I missed from stock was the app lock.
As the title says, I love the OOS rom, but I wish it was debloated and had just the basic Google apps. Is there a very stable ROM like this? I am on PIXEN now, and I have done another couple but I feel the OOS stock is pretty good.
Thanks in advance.
I need one too, I'm not able to decrypt the lastest roms, can't root without loosing emojies, even if I managed all that, there's bloat
So +1

is it possible to have custom kernels with unrooted device and stock os? also, what custom kernle are you using if it's not a secret?
I've been on Havoc and then Omni Treskmod but both had certain issues (battery life / banking apps / default camera not working etc.) so I'm really thinking of reverting back to stock and unrooting the device. But I also enjoy some of the custom kernel features that are available out there so was wondering if it's possible to get best of both worlds

I've tried multiple custom roms but keeping coming back to stock, every rom seems to have some kind of functionality missing that the stock rom has, it's not worth it to lose base functionality just to have something different looking.

Yes, you can use alot of custom kernels unrooted. I have used Weeb and blu_spark unrooted without any problems and with Safety Net passing. If they are designed to work out of the box without any configuration with root apps and have CTS check bypass (kernel level) it should work without a problem like stock/unrooted, little research might be needed tho. Good luck.

Thanks for your input. I have actually unrooted my device and with a little bit of debloating I am getting the best battery life I have ever had (compared to quite a few custom roms & kernels I have tried out) + I was also able to get GCam with aux lenses, Youtube Vanced and get all the customization I need using Nova Prime Launcher. Really don't see myself coming back to any custom rom, as they tend to have bugs here and there, or have something that simply doesn't work the way it should. Stock everything gives me everything I need from this phone :good:
