    My review of 8 different ROMS for the Xiaomi Mi 8! (Might help if you don't know which one to choose).

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 04:29 PM PST

    LONG POST COMING :) I am willing to help anyone with flashing a ROM, Custom Recovery and debloating a device, you can just reply here if you need help from me and I will gladly help... Currently using MIUI from Xiaomi.eu V12.0.3.0

    So I am using my Mi 8 as a daily driver for more than a year. And in this year I got into the custom ROM environment. MIUI global version 11 didn't quite fit my preferences for an Android phone, even with a powerful phone that the Mi 8 is, so I decided to test different custom AOSP ( Android Open Source Project) ROMS for about 3 weeks - 1 month each. These are my results and my opinions for these 8 custom ROMS (ALL BASED ON ANDROID 10) :

    1)EVOLUTION X - The first ROM I tested. Super excited when I was using it. When it comes to performance it is a beast of a ROM. Everything was running smoothly and it is feature rich. Also the Face Unlock feature was active. I would rate it as : Performance : 8/10, Battery consumption 7/10, Features 8/10, Stability 7/10. Only thing that annoyed me is the fact that it was discontinued so I had an outdated ROM. So I decided to test another one! (Android 11 has released now, it is basically the same with MUCH better performance but no face Unlock...)

    2)MIUI12 Global Got released back then. I gave it a try : Quite buggy I'd say, with the battery draining faster than Evolution X, but a lot of features and super wallpapers as it's highlight (or maybe not). Performance was a 6/10, Battery 6/10, features 7/10, Stability 6/10. It is definitely a beautiful ROM but it lacks battery control and is FILLED with bloatware and stock apps that some users might find useful (. You CAN however remove or disable most of them through ADB and Fastboot Tool-messgae me if you need help with it) Updates come VERY SLOW, although google play is up to date.

    3)Flashed PIXEL EXPERIENCE PLUS after that : It's the Pixel Phones Android experience as the name of it says. Almost stock Android with google apps as intended to be installed on the Pixel smartphones. Absolutely stable, fast, secure BUT. I didn't get google pay to work or Android Auto without Magisk (root). Also the Google Play is outdated on the last Stable Pixel Experience Release (Android 10 of course) and the battery life didn't do that well either. So for me it's Performance 8/10, Battery 5.5/10, Features 7/10 (the non-plus version is not that feature rich) and Stability 8/10. (Android 11 version came out with updated Google play, no face Unlock).

    4)MIUI 12.0.3.0 From Xiaomi.eu. I am CURRENTLY USING this ROM as a daily driver more than intended. I love face Unlock on my device. It's the same as MIUI but debloated, and relieved from the bloatware and ads that come on the Global and Chinese Versions of Miui. It's optimized for the Battery and performance balance and control. It is the best one for me yet, getting almost 6-7 hours SOT with some use of LTE, bluetooth, wifi and Mobile hotspot. So I would definitely recommend and give it : Performance 7.5/10, Battery 9/10, Stability 8/10, features 8/10. The only "issue" there is, it's the fact that the sound on bluetooth speakers is somewhat lower because of the EU regulations... I tried flashing the xiaomieusound.zip fix through TWRP but I'm still having no luck with. Can live with it though!

    5)Paranoid Android Quartz 5 : By far the best performance of them all, medium to good Stability but the second worse battery of them all... It's really a pitty that such a fast and responsive ROM (with face Unlock btw) is giving out a little worse battery than expected. It's the only reason I didn't use it as a daily driver. Performance 8.5/10, Battery 5.5/10, Features 7.5/10, Stability 7/10.

    6)CrDroid : Works like a charm in terms of battery, performance BUT. Without having much to say as it is almost the same as Pixel Experience, it's sad that Fast chargers are not working on this ROM limiting it to 4.4V only... Face Unlock also doesn't use the infrared cam so I can't Unlock with your face at night or at dark places. For me these are super important so it's : Performance 8/10, Battery 8/10, Stability 6.5/10, Features 6/10. Google.play up to date.

    7)RevengeOS : Amazing performance and I don't know how but it handled the overheating better than any other ROM I tried. It is super fast and responsive with great battery life. BUT Face Unlock doesn't work and Google play is outdated... So : Performance 8.5/10, battery 8/10, features 7.5/10, Stability 7/10.

    8)Lineage OS : It's as stock as they say, yes. Its the pure raw Android experience, (Google apps need to be Flashed with the rom separately). It is fast, with regular updates and with medium battery consumption. The resodn I did not use it as a daily driver is because there was basically no STABLE version of it, only nightly updated ones and that the Face Unlock wasn't working either. So it's : Performance 7/10, Battery 7/10, Stability 6/10, Features 6.5/10.

    Might not buy the Mi 11

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 05:02 PM PST

    It seems that the newest Snapdragon 888 on Samsung 5nm runs hot. I live in the tropics. I have the Mi10t Pro btw. We'll see if things improve on the thermal side.

    Xiaomi released an update that bricks the phone and renders it unusable until the motherboard is replaced.

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 03:49 AM PST

    I'm writing this because i find it disturbing that a company as big as Xiaomi can release an untested update that.. when installed.. bricks the phone

    No fastboot.. no power button function.. charging doesn't work

    Every Xiaomi Mi A3 user received the update, Alot of people installed it and turned their phones into a litteral brick

    There was no beta testing phase, they just pushed the update for Android 11 directly and killed a good portion of their android one phones

    What's worse is they're asking for money to replace the motherboards of the out-warranty phones

    Should I update to the MIUI 12.0.02 with my Redmi Note 9S?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:08 AM PST

    I just bought my Redmi Note 9S which is on Android 10, MIUI 11.01.11 5 days ago and I've been loving it so far. Battery is good, no glitches whatsoever. Then it said that it has an update for the MIUI 12.02. Should I do it? I've read that for the most part, it's bad especially on the battery life side (which is important for me)

    I would like to know more about the new update and what it might entail. Thank you!

    Xiaomi Mi A3 Android 11 update

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 01:56 PM PST

    As you may know, this device got the new Android 11 update, but it turns out to be a broken update, leaving a lot of devices hard bricked

    This happened at January 1 of 2021. Since then, I didn't heard any news from the company about the update, except reports to not install this update

    My question is: where are we, the users that haven't updated to android 10 and their device is working fine, going to get the Android 11 update? I really can't wait for android 11 update, because even android 10 has bugs too and I'm so tired of them (UI icons, volume bar and power menu buttons sometimes become "bigger" than it should, like they don't match the DPI size)

    I recently got the poco x3 nfc, everything is great except when I wanna play pubg, the ping is fluctuating and high, around 250-450ms I thought it's a network issue so I tested it on my old phone (Huawei Honor 8X) and the ping is at a stable 80ms, I don't know what the issue is, my network is the same as before I think it's a problem with the phone or settings, please help it's really annoying.

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 04:15 PM PST

    Hello. I recently downloaded LOS 17.1 and I don't like the camera app, and I remember epople saying GCam is good, others say it is bad, for some phone.

    Now my question: Is GCam good for Mi A2? And if you have a link for download and tutorial perhaps( if it isn't just installing apk/flashing a .zip)

    Thank you very much!

    Is it safe to remove the Google Messages app?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 03:00 PM PST

    I'm on a Poco x3 and unlike other Xiaomi phones there is no default sms app anymore but instead we get the Messages app from Google. While it is a default with the phone I'm thinking it's safe to remove since you can also find it on the playstore but I'm not sure. I would like to replace it with another since it doesn't have a lot of features,thanks in advance for the advice!
