[Poll][Discussion] MIUI

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.

Gee, long long time since playing with any new Mi Miui 9 is supposed to drop within 60ish days. I will pull the patch rom and play with that. It will be based on nougat!

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

Are you talking about Miui 8.2 the stable global builds?

Omirom or omni treskmod?

Im on tresk now but whats better whats the difference?

Difference is you can choose what gapps you want installed with Omni. tresk has gapps already and so on.. also you could choose not to use gapps at all and go micro g.
Another thing is Omni has support on XDA.

Ah ok cool ty

You get better performance than omni with tresk, you get some pixel UI and experience. Nearly you get omni with some added features and modifications. The Google apps included in Tresk is so minimal, and it's always updated. There is no point in gapps.

You can also use Omni recents with Omni, not available with Tresk. Red flare Kernel (tresk) also have some RZ commits (although you could easily flash red flare to Omni if you want so, I'm using Smurf though, which work best for my use). In any case, both ROMs work really good. I prefer Omni at this point, but both are stabler than OOS

I've tried them both and both are great alternatives to stock. My only issue has been battery life, nothing I've tried comes close to stock battery standby. The performance tho I feel is better so if you are willing to trade standby battery time for performance, either could be a good alternative. With that said, battery life can often be subjective so it might be in your best interest to try them each a few days and see what works for your particular set up.

Where you get tresk version?

google treskmod omni for oneplus6. It's on it's own site

What about camera? Is it close to stock quality? Of course, I can use GCam, but not all the features are there

Hi all, I'm interested to change from OOS to treskmod. Is there anyway I can still get OnePlus navigation gestures?

There's an app for those in the Play Store, but it costs 1-2$.

For me omnitresk was one of the beat ROMs out there , the only thing keeps me away is that the notification drawer is not the same as pixel devices or other aosp based rom , is much shorter and doesn't look nice

Oneplus 7 Pro best AOSP ROM

Hello,
I'm new to the Oneplus 7 Pro (not new to rooting) and I was looking for the best AOSP ROM. Would like to know people's opinion which is the best one with no (huge) buggs.

Personally I prefer Havoc OS. I've tried PA quartz 2 and PE ROM but the automatic brightness didn't seem to work for me properly on either of those. Not sure if it was the ROM itself or something I had done incorrectly

New PA Treskmod is out and incredibly stable and has had the best battery on any ROM I've tried. I've used most AOSP and Omni ROMs and have to say this has by far been the best in terms of smoothness and battery. Paired with Neutrino kernel, it's been quite nice. Search in Telegram if interested in viewing the discussion thread for it.
Only 3 builds deep thus far, but haven't encountered any bugs or issues.

Widevine L1 is needed for HD quality on streaming services like Netflix, with L3 there is only SD quality (480p).

It's pure aosp

I tried to use it as a daily. It was pretty stable BUT the camera app sucks and you can't replace it with Gcam and there's no fingerprint reader. Apart from that everything i needed it for worked including android for work.

There is not much to see. Google how Android 11 looks and that's it. There are no extras.
I wish this was the Android experience Xiaomi offered for all their phones (of course with the bugs fixed), albeit some of their features are cool.
I was not able to install any apk outside Google Play Store for some reason, the Camera app is limited to the 64MPx and Front 20MPx, UI is not adjusted for the rounded corners so some text overflows behind that and I was not able to root the phone either. But still not bad and works fine even for a daily driver.

It just looks like AOSP (standard Android) as there is no MIUI or any other custom launcher/ui on top of that. And the appearance of that you can Google or find on YouTube etc.

Question Lineage OS 20 makes Pixel 7 Pro a much better phone(especially with Nikgapps, core, or basic)

Anyone agree? Performance is better than the stock. And gaming is overall better too. It's basically as if you're having a Pixel 8 DEVICE in the palm of your hand when it's just Pixel 7. I bet if Pixel 8 came out it'd be using lineage os 20 performance and stability. Anyone agree with that too?

One of the biggest set backs are the camera with custom OS
Afaik the camera doesn't perform the same.

it does on pixel phones, its just placebo

Have you tried crDroid? I'm still on November build stock rooted . Debating between that and lineage once I update, curious how they compare

You don't have music search or others features uniques to pixel on LineageOS but you can have them with a module on magisk if I'm not wrong

Lineage OS is great. Battery life is amazing. Performance is solid. And weekly updates via built in updater works fantastic. It's a clean OS ... Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but you can add some via magisk mods ... Overall, if you like a clean AOSP look and feel, you should run this. I've used Lineage since it was first introduced to the Pixel 7 Pro as an alpha then beta and then official .. take it from someone who's used it a lot . There is no ROM like it.

What about the call screening feature on Stock? This is the primary reason I will probably stay with Pixel indefinitely! Better than sliced bread! In fact as much as I hate curved screens (the 7 Pro's is not as bad as some) I will tolerate the curve just to have the phone calls from scammers/spammers, and morons eliminated completely!

So then the app somehow knows it's being run on a Pixel? Maybe it "sees" the Tensor chip? I wonder because why doesn't it work when you install the app on a non-Pixel phone?

Have a question for the op or anyone running lineage OS 20 does this rom work well with Galaxy, or Samsung watches? I mean do they play nice together?

Guys help
installed LOS 20 with full nikgapps, and missed one option - weather under the clock on pixel launcher (there was one option in settings to switch it on on stock rom but missing on LOS rom somewhere in android intelligence settings or something that).
Any suggestions?
