I'd like to install a custom ROM on my 6a, and graphene didn't satisfy me, so I'd like to know if anyone's found any others that i could try out lol
Calyx is out, but its kinda simmilar. Lineage 20 will hopefully come next year, which is the one I'm looking forward to

I'm looking at Calyx, and it seems like it would actually work. Graphene didn't work for me because all of the apps it came with were out of date and didn't work right, but given the fact that Calyx uses well known privacy focused apps, it looks like I'll be good to go once they've come out with their Android 13 update lol
Been running Graphene on mine since it dropped. Only issue I've had is some of my games don't play well with it. Software, am I right? /shrug
yea im waiting for custom roms. im getting impatient. im considering buying a pixel 6 or 6 pro so i can have some custom rom love

First of all, they're not out of date. They're the latest from AOSP. Oh, and they DO work right.
Second, if you don't like, that's what makes Android great -- install alternative applications, I suggest from F-droid.

Please don't write things that are demonstrably false. The truth is inverse of what you have written.
To be fair, the graphene apps have a popup that tells you its apps are not meant for your current version of android. Also they're in my opinion painful to look at because they don't comply to the system theme

Just run Stock, you are better off, if you need to optimise just root and debloat, much better alternative to Graphene os or Calyx IMO. if you don't want to root debloat using adb. Best of luck

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 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

Personally I don't care much about AOSP's, not just because I don't like it but also because I buy a Samsung phone for the hardware/software they offer, so I don't expect someone to do necessarily an AOSP ROM for it (even tho I'm willing to help the devs that will be interested on it). So my reply is the following: Have you got enough patience to wait someone works on it? Yes, you wait for it while you stay on Stock ROM (it isn't bad tho, TouchWiz 2012/13 times are a far memory); No, you try to code yourself a working device tree/kernel or sell your A8 and get another phone that isn't a Samsung one

Well Exynos is headache for this same reason(unless some other OEM adopts it to ease things up), and also Samsung usually makes it hard for us to get any kind of opening with it's devices to build stuff for it. If you ask me, at this rate the pros of getting a Custom ROM in your device is getting outweighed by the cons. I would also agree that 'Samsung Experience' is far better than the 'TouchWiz' nightmare.

"Thanks for reaching out! Android Pie changed the way all apps interact with the space around the notch, and introduced standardized methods for app developers to support full screen mode. This should drive app developers to update their apps with native full screen options, without the need for custom notch settings.
For our first Android Pie release, we are using Google's standard implementation of the notch space. We will continue to monitor adoption of Pie's full-screen capabilities and evaluate whether it makes sense to customize and re-develop our own notch settings.
Hope that helps answer your question. Have a great day!"
Using horizontal app switch is so fundamentally and ergonomically wrong to the feel of Android. HTC (whom I love) used this horizontal card system in 2012. It was awful. Custom AOSP ROMs saved us. Now Google is doing it. !amazing! So wrong. And the PIP or WIW is way harder to do now compared to Android 8.1 and below.
Google you really botched this BS.
Nah it's just you aren't used to it. This has been the norm in the iOS world for several years. Point is it's no better or worse
On the first day of getting the Essential the Pie update was there... LOL
Well the swipe up drive anyone else crazy, with it always swipping the launcher up slightly too? I hope they can change this, so it's not also always moving up as well... hmm
Oh its terrible for sure...I have one PH-1 rolled back to 8.1, but I am holding off on mine for the moment being You have to wipe data to go back 8.1. Tried flashing the No wipe BTS package and it was boot loops for breakfast.
Got mine today, came with 7.1, thought it MIGHT update to 8.1 before 9, nope, went right to 9
DO NOT like the new menu structure. Installed Nova, it crashes on launch. So far, NOT impressed with 9.
Phone looks nice, just not the OS's UI.
Did you factory reset after the jump from 7.1 to 9?
Actually I'm getting the hang of it, you have to make a really fast like flick up to not have the launcher move... It takes practice... LOL
Adaptive Brightness not working in Pie, anyone else?
@p51d007, I hear ya, starting to feel like iOS around here... LOL
To be honest, so far working good here, just that darn flicking up fast action needed to get to the windows, without moving the launcher has been the only complaint I have at the moment... Haven't had much time on it, maybe something else will bug me later... LOL

Someone who likes to tinker with his phone this phone is abit useless to me considering there are no custom ROMs existing.

Pie in general is useless but in this phones case I'm hoping it brings the changes I need

Yeah that is certainly true what you say, ambient display been able to function in a custom ROM is quite useful indeed. I hope it too, to have custom ROMs available to flash and use. It would be awesome.

Well if 8.1 was perfect then they wouldn't have needed to make 9.0
But then 9.1 will likely be out a bit after 9.0 so 9.0 is already assumed to be imperfect (but then nothing ever is truely perfect is it ).
The assumption is that each update builds and improves on the previous one. So if there is something new that the teams of people who develop android have built and I can get it for free then why not have it?
But I do get what your saying, it's not like there's anything wrong with 8.1 on our device at the moment.
It's hardly a big deal If we get it in 30 minutes or 30 days... we're still getting it :laugh:

With the Changes of Pie they could just say 8.2.
But that wouldn't sell "that well".
They are lifting the major version insanely quick for very little features...

It's good to know you can run it. I'm surprised it is so fluid. In my experience even Pixel 3a is a bit slow on the latest Pixel UI.
I honestly think Samsung's UI, or Pixel's Android 11 UI is better than Pixel Android 12/12L/13 UI (especially the quick action and lock screen layout), so I wouldn't try this.

the speed and stability, batterylife increase are well worth it. this just made my a53 feel like a flagship device.

i made a ticket on their open source website. the sources for A536B are available on there because of me: https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=A536BXXU1AVBB
if those work for every A53, great. if not, it would take maybe 24 hours for the others to be uploaded if tickets were created for either.

i don't suppose there's any chance of safetynet passing? i'd love to do this but i kinda need banking/contactless payment apps to work

oh, cool. i've been away from the modding scene for almost 3 years. last i remembered, magisk didn't fix safetynet. thanks very much.
Safetynet on my device passes. AOSP 12L + Magisk Systemless root (using kdrag0n's CTS module).
Good news.
