since i don't use telegram, could someone give a status on the PixelExperience ROM.
Is work already in progress or are there still donations to be made to organize a Mi9se for development?

Hi,
You can check there:

yeah, me too, would love to have Pixel Experience on Mi 9 SE.
I know there is a GSI Version out there, but....
Using Revolution OS atm, which is quite nice but I´m facing the problem that I cannot backup to GoogleDrive anymore ^^

You can try the Havoc non GSI ROM. It's my daily driver ans it's awsome. Works very very better than GSIs (I tryed Havoc GSI and Flokorom GSI before that rom)

Any chance that anyone clever might be working on lineage for this MI 10T 5G Lite ?

i got this phone at launch and for the price i think its really good but i really dislike the miui intreface, its so restrictive and has limmited options compated to the android on my one plus or lineage that u used previously. i put nova launcher on to try tidy things up a bit but i still cant get used to not being able to turn off some of the notifications which is annoying. so i was wondering if any of the really clever people around here might ever be able to get a lineage option for it ?

Clever Indian developers are ready to give you official bug free Lineage OS, Custom Kernels and many other custom ROMs (Including Oxygen OS). We're waiting for Xiaomi to launch it in India. Within 2-3 weeks of launch you'll be using a custom ROM on your phone

I hope they are both fast, both Xiaomi for the launch in India and the Indians in creating a Twrp :angelo:

Question Evox for Poco F3

So, to the point, how good is the UNOFFICIAL Evox for Poco F3?
For those who don't know, there is a Russian build in a russian forum.

POCO-F3 - Google Drive

I doubt it's very stable... Not even an XDA thread. Don't know if this phone will receive good support... Which is sad, cause mine arrives tomorrow morning. I had hoped for good custom ROM support, but that doesn't seem to be the case

There are a fair few devs working on the device. There are device trees so any custom ROM can be built and MIUI customised ROMs are also being released. On top of this there are two superb devs currently working on dynamic a/b partitions to make TWRP stable. This is difficult as there is a lot of guesswork involved as the phone was released with Android 11 and so the partition setup is quite unknown

Hmm, yeahhh, cos there's only around 15-20 ROMs, a couple of kernels and a couple of twrps, plus whatever else is in the pipeline... how many more do you want? lol
I just installed the version from the Gdrive above and so far its great. So many customizations and no hiccups yet.
Will edit if anything changes.
one problem is that why he wrote offical even though its unofficial rom

Battery life is great, I can use the phone actively without noticing the battery depleting. System resources minimal if as long you don't use bloated apps. I have magisk installed with things like energized protection, viper4android and more working fine. Even apps like bluemail work on this ROM while on others I had no luck.

Double tap 2 wake works out of the box and I am using pocket detection. I don't use AOD cause it's a battery killer.

And the pocket detection isn't a battery killer too? In other ROMS I've tried I had to disable this for the battery consumption

It doesn't appear to be but I understand your point. It would take some benchmarking to be sure.

Question Reasons to unlock bootloader?

Why did you unlock your bootloader? I did unlock bootloader and install custom ROM for every Android device that I have ever owned. However, surprisingly I am fairly satisfied with newest MIUI on Poco F3 and I am considering to keep it. Currently, the only thing I am missing is a firewall. I am also worried that custom ROMs often have bugs + there might be problems with banking apps.
I unlocked the bootloader in order to root the device with Magisk and mainly install AdAway ad blocker (and also YouTube Vanced), while keeping official MIUI. Same as you, I don't have any problems with the official MIUI, once all the ads are removed.

I have vanced installed with non-root method. Also I have not used Adaway in years because only few apps that I use have ads + it makes some websites to not work.

For Pixel Rom. MIUI is so cringe, I was very sad that I must use it for a one week. It's just terrible.
^^^^^^^
You're new to Miui. Give it some time and you'll get tired of it too.

Was talikng to the guy above xd
Well I personally unlocked my bootloader to use the Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM. It's MIUI but the latest version with all Xiaomi apps, not the circumsized Global version lol.
I was most interested in the Call Recording Feature in the Xiaomi Phone App. And Android 12. I believe I have more reasons but can't think of them... I really like Call Recording. Idk. I'm a stalker i think.

How is Viper4android better than Wavelet? I have had less problems with Wavelet. It does not need unlocking bootloader also.

Tried Wavelet long ago. Cant comment.
Viper4a is not just an equalizer, its way much more. I personally like bass dynamic settings and possibility to choose bass frequenvys manually.

MIUI Dolby Atmos is superior.
Wavelet sucks too.
I'm not a fanboy of chinese social credits but its just the truth.
Viper4a doesn't impress me quite as much as MIUI Dolby does.

General ROMs list - table with specific ROMs features (Google Sheets, objective and subjective things)

Hi,
Recently I was looking for the best ROM for myself for my personal device and made a table for myself with the specific functions I needed. Thought it was worth sharing, it might be helpful if you are looking for a ROM for Poco F3. But it can also be helpful if you are looking for a ROM for a different device, and when specific ROM is in this table, because some ROMs are same on different devices.
All ROMs are AOSP or AOSP-like looking. Not any MIUI-based ROM tested by me. Remember, some things are subjective, like what ROM have bad design (gore) and what ROM not. Some other things are objective like launcher default included in specific ROM.
The list is updated as of today, but may expire quickly as there are changes in some ROMs.
26.07.2022 UPDATE: Unfortunately, the file below is currently not shared (not available to view now) due to problems with the Google server. Maybe too much viewers or something like that. DON'T ASK FOR SHARE FILE FOR NOW, I CAN'T FIX THIS, BLAME GOOGLE.
26.07.2022 UPDATE: Now fixed.
There it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YaTn0GObyuiY7cRH4Ljb2OutJ8XQhAhXntKLDGh9pHo/

THANK YOU !!
Hi OP, thanks for sharing this list you make to help others. I have changed the tag from Development to General as Development is only for developers to post ROMs. Also I removed the telegram links, because telegram group is for developers only. Thank you for understanding.
This is brilliant! Thanks OP for sharing it here!
I don't know if you're taking suggestions for more tables but I was hoping you could add "Unlimited Google Photos storage" as one of them.
Bro which rom did you think was the best among these?
What about MIUI EU?
What is mean "way to set AMOLED" ?

It's option in settings like on attached screenshot (for now Awaken OS here), in some ROMs there is specific setting that make backgrounds completely black #00000 under dark mode settings or somewhere else, it depends on ROM where this setting is

I don't like MIUI personally, it's archaic and inconsistent (for example MIUI still not have support for Monet engine for MIUI apps, it have mostly gore themes in their theme store, ugly quick settings etc)
