Hi kemtiq
This can not be confirmed until the official MIUI with Android Q release (if ever), that would be long after the stable version of Q release date.
GSI images are just the system, in order to interact with the underlying hardware, GSI system images need a compatible firmware (the vendor partition, provided by stock MIUI)
In the past I have experimented with several different system+vendor combinations, eg. Oreo MIUI vendor+phhson pie system. In this case there's a notice of updating Android on the first boot, and MTP doesn't work. I didn't test further, thinking the Oreo vendor must be incompatible with pie system, and switched to official pie MIUI vendor with pie system.
As a speculation, if Xiaomi didn't further develop q based MIUI for our phone, we will need someone to develop a working q vendor in order to get q system working.(and the security patches entirely relying on the third party developer)
That, IMHO, would be the same as developing a device specific third party ROM
The problem is, there aren't many people using this phone around on XDA, since this phone is neither a flagship, nor officially released outside China.

There is a recent spike in roms builts specifically for this device. Hopefully it will continue in future. So GSI isnt really needed right now. Rom links https://build.lolios.ml/sirius/ (mods please remove if not allowed to link external)

Glad to hear this. Could you please provide some info regarding VoLTE support in these ROMs?
Thanks in advance

Wow dude you literally made your XDA account to share the modifications (copy pasting links and text) you did to that wiki page.
And for the guy that was asking, Android Q GSI(Not the official one) boots on 8 SE

Not sure you gotta check

Miui 8 is marshmallow - the sources are available but seeing as this device comes with stock nougat & has no marshmallow sources I don't see the point
Miui 9 is nougat but seeing as we are now on oreo I doubt anyone will bother & seeing as they haven't released the source code I doubt you will see it on this device unless someone can adapt it from another device but from my point of view it's not worth it as it's already outdated

yes,miui 9 source code is not available but cant we port from same specs device like redmi 3s/prime?it already have both nougat and miui 9...and,also,i think,that instead porting tons of almost same oreo roms would be nice if you port one miui 9..because miui is something different
There is a rom for Moto G5 plus you can search in xda and you will be able to get . But there is no Miui rom for Moto G5s plus Sanders.
If anyone gets... please share with all

It is not same as redmi 3s prime but it is same as MI A1 as per hardware comparison.
Only difference is camera, screen size front flash as per my finding.

Android P for MI 6

Hi, anyone heard anything about Android P beta for MI6 ? Would it be provided as a custom rom before (if) it's available from Xiaomi?
cheers!

Mix 2s has treble so they just used the generic system image of P which had been out for a while.
Basically nothing special for a treble device.
It doesn't seem to boot on our treble port from Nils or Verevka so idk what's different about it.
Eh.
We will probably get LOS P in the future but for now we only just got Oreo and P is way off being a full release.

Having closely watched the LOS development for a year, I think it's gonna take a while for LOS in P to be as stable as current LOS in Oreo. And regression bug can still keep coming, regardless how mature it is.
Hi All,
thanks for your replies and input into this thread. I appreciate it, and hope, we will get some Android P
have a nice day!
Mi Mix2s Android P Beta is not a GSI. It's a specific image for that system. If it was a GSI then would we able to use it already on our Mi6.

I wan't all the goodies available when it comes to the google assistant, my take is, the new assistant features like calling a hair salon will be available on P first.
I also like the suble changes in design that come with each iteration of android.

[XIaomi] Mi a2 Lite no specific GSI

Hello everyone, I really wanted to tell you my opinion in this section that is the one dedicated more to the development of generic Treble ROMs and also specific for some devices. My question is, why do not even a project embrace Xiaomi Daisy? Many GSIs are not perfectly optimized for the device and unfortunately sometimes you get into various bugs. I would like not a little, to see some project even perhaps addressed to him. But this is my opinion, I hope it can be taken into consideration. As always, thank you all for what you do.
There are Lineage OS roms in development for a2 lite. those will be perfectly optimised.
and once they're released, surely other customized ROMs will follow. so just stay tunedn

There is not a single bug on the newer February Update of Resurrection Remix sir
Here is a link to my stable guide to install the newer RR (AB Version)

When Android 10 custom rom will landed on Mix 3 ?

Anyone working on it ? I'm happy to test it
Waiting so long since AOSP is officially announced, and seeing other phone like Mix 2/2s Mi8 already got a custom rom made me sad
Those devices (most of them) have Beta ROMs from Xiaomi with updated drivers. That's why they have full 10 ROMs.

People are working on it, be patient.
Xiaomi released a timeline for MIUI 11 beta and global ROMs which can be found here.
TLDR; The Chinese beta ROM should be rolling out to the Mix 3 starting Sept 27th. The global ROM should be rolling out mid-October.

Awe man. Thanks for the info! How is it?
So..if our device has been confirmed to get Android 10, and MIUI 11 will still stick to Pie...when we will get it? When Android 11 will be avaible? Just saying..
Its simple. First we will get MIUI 11 based on Pie, later we will get update to newer Android still with MIUI 11.

MIUI's naming convention doesn't necessarily align with Android's. Hence why some devices running MIUI 11 are based off Pie while others are based off Android 10. Xiaomi will probably update MIUI 11 to Android 10 in future updates for the devices which aren't already.

I knew about MIUI acting differently from EMUI. But not updating OS makes almost no sense, because Mix 3 is a device with one year of life. Should have priority in major updates or am i wrong? Anyway, i think it should get at least 2 majors when time will come. Thanks for the answer
it's out with .eu rom ^^. Very smooth. Nice looking.
Did you wipe data before flashing it?, I flashed ir right away without knowing it was android 10 based and it is glitched as hell, with apps crashing and such.
Dirty flash
All my stuff is working. No force close, but slow with multi-tasking. battery life is amazing
Bug I found :

I just updated from MIUI 10.3.2.0 global stable (android 9) to MIUI 11.1 Xiaomi.eu weekly beta (9.12.12 based on android 10) without any issues. I was rooted with TWRP installed on 10.3.2.0, here's what I did (this will wipe all your data so make backups beforehand):
Put Xiaomi.eu 9.12.12 on a USB-C flash drive (not necessary but a little easier than transferring it via cable)
Booted to TWRP
Wipe > Factory reset
Wipe > Format data (then typed 'yes' to confirm)
Wiped dalvik & cache
Went back to reboot options > booted to TWRP (recovery) again
Flashed 9.12.12 zip from flash drive
Wiped dalvik & cache
Booted to system. No app crashes or lag or anything
Also you can downgrade from the Xiaomi.eu android 10 ROMs. It's not super clear whether the Mix 3 has active anti-rollback or not (some sources say yes but plenty of people have been able to go back and forth without issue with an unlocked bootloader). I checked the ARB versions just to be safe and for 10.3.2.0 and 11.1 they are both 2 so there should be no issue downgrading with an unlocked bootloader.

Unfortunately the kernel they are referencing has to be for the 5G Mix 3. The perseus still only has a pie branch. I know a lot of people have been working on this, myself included. I got something to compile the other night, however it does not boot. I know there are smarter people than me working on this and I know how long it took to build a tree (with full kernel source) for the LG G3 when I was working on that device.
Edit: so poking around for the first time not on my phone, I found this: https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/dipper-q-oss
That tree is now tagged like it's for many devices - I think a n00b made that commit, cause that makes NO SENSE AT ALL.

As a normal user, i can't understand what language you are speaking lol, just seen that post on xda news and i though that's a great news.
Great to know that there are devs still working on this phone!

Rom options

would we be able to install a non miui rom on this phone?
Sure. But there isn't any out right now. Development has been slow because many reasons including kernel source not being released fully initially and phone being bricked way too easily with test builds. If you're looking to buy the phone with hopes of flashing a custom ROM, go for the Mi 9T Pro instead. If you already have the phone, be patient for a while.
There's hope from POSP dev, he's actually tried hard building a rom for this device despite getting bricked so many times. Still in progress, be patient.

We need everybody to promote the bricking issue of redmi note 8 pro so that xiaomi will remove the authentication account.it's absurd to keep us blocked from developing. Pleace make posts everywhere you can so people will know the problem. follow the #note8probrick on twitter and express your dissapointment

The N8pro is known to work at the moment after being flashed with that particular ROM, but it really needs to be tested for bugs before it gets promoted as an option.
There are also some other ROMs that derive from PHH's AOSP GSI ROM that could possibly work on the N8pro such as LineageOS 16, Resurrection Remix, and HavocOS
