Rom options - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

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.

That's really nice to hear. Is there a POSP Telegram channel we could get latest news at? Thanks!

PHH's AOSP GSI ROM actually works on this device, just download the A/B version of the GSI and you're good to go.

Huh? Why are we hearing about this for the first time?

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

Resurrection Remix coming to the OnePlus 5t?

Just purchased the oneplus 5t and hoping this Rom makes its way over...
The phone is still really new and development takes a lot of time and effort, give it some time and I'm sure we'll start seeing more ROMs for our device
Yes it is

The source as of now is not buildable but once it is, i will try my best to deliver a beta build within the end of this year
Donation sent! Thank you for your update, communication and work on this Rom! Much appreciated!

There is a possibility that I'll make a gsi for a/b devices, but I'm focusing on other things first.

Thanks for this amazing rom, i have an error message when boot regarding my device, Mi Mix 2S, I think was related to vendor, can you give link or file of CrDroid vendor? But that vendor I think can't work on my device, tried with 8.9.20 and 9.6.10.0 but it end in a bootlioop. Thanks.

You want to flash a Redmi 5 Plus vendor on a Mi Mix 2S? That's not a wise choice.

GSIs

Hi,
Has anyone been successful in flashing the Android 10 GSI? Especially if you are using the Chinese RN8. Would like to hear how you've done it.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Managed to do it using resources from the Redmi Note 8 Discussions Telegram Channel. Just do a search for it and you'd likely find it.
Currently running PE Android 10 Unofficial. Some bugs but as this is a secondary phone not a big deal to me.
Same question here. I can see in phhusson's Github documentation that Redmi Note 8 is one of the devices which has successfully booted his AOSP GSI and I can't see any indepth guide and discussion on how it can be done here in XDA.
Some do claim that they were able to run it while here I am trying to make it work with no success. Be it AOSP 9 GSI or 10 it just won't work at all. I followed the GSI installation tutorial for the Mi 8 here with the same old results. The Redmi logo just keeps on bootlooping after following all instructions.
If there's anyone who were really able to boot these GSIs to their Ginkgos, do leave a reply here on what worked for you so that we can also give it a try. Much appreciated.
Hey,
I've try to flash GSI (phh-treble 10 V208) But the phone direct reboot in TWRP after that.... I wipe everything except vendor and flash gsi throught system but nothing work...
Also I have 8T (Willow) but it should works the same as Ginko... Any helps ?
I'm still waiting to get my ginkgo, but I found this, could it help?

Thanks man. I'm miles away from the scene hence why I'm safe.
Going back, I still can't figure out how to make those GSIs work. I'll ask those on the Telegram group where that link originated from so that I can check whether someone was really able to make it work.
Good idea, I'm checking it too. Just got my RN8, and once I get back home I'll unlock it and give it a try.
Important! On this device run only Arm64 AB gsi rom!!!

Giving a bump here as I've managed to do this. See OP for info.

Question [CLOSED] Best custom ROM?

Hello guys. I'm looking for best official custom ROM for my POCO F3. I'm planning to use it daily, so I want stable ROM without any BIG bugs. Can you tell me which ROM is best at this moment? (Your opinion). Thank you and sorry for bad English
I'd recommend the recommended. The mother rom (Xiaomi EU). [EU has nothing to do with europe]. It has the latest official Xiaomi rom features. Basically what Xiaomi updates comes directly to you through this rom (with pack of other features)

Well, I am a OneUI fanboy. I don't like any of them all. but I'd have to get used to MiUI
The thing is you need to know what suits you the most and feel comfortable with. You can check the ones available here labeled as [Development].
I hope the guys here give you more intels of which could be the beat custom rom besides custom MIUI
Right now, hands down the best rom would be Arrow OS. Been using it for a couple of days now and the smoothness and experience is on next level.
I was previously using stable and then weekly EU rom.

Havoc was the first Custom ROM for the F3, which didn't include GAPPS by default - so I gave it a try...
After many years of pure LOS/CyanogenMod, I am now running Havoc 4.5 on both the Poco F1 and F3. And it works great on both devices!
HentaiOS works fine to me :v I'm staying on it till any custom with working OTA comes up

That's banned on XDA. It's also not open source . As a havoc contributor I'm biased to havoc however most of the ROMs use the same device source and so are all stable. I think ArrowOS may be the most stable at the moment but I don't have a problem daily driving Havoc

I just received my F3 and I am on the mandatory 7-day waiting period to unlock.
F1 is my current phone, running Havoc 4.5, and I want to install Havoc on the F3 too.
Did you notice any major bugs on the F3 version?
I know it's still too early for all features to be added, but -for example-, is 120hz refresh rate available as an option?
Thank you.

The only bug I faced so far is the adaptive charging: it does not work on official build (it did on unofficial ). But I'm not a 24/7 smartphone user and I don't run games on it.

ArrowOS is supporting OTA. I feel it's the most stable and snappiest of the current AOSPs. Light and fast, without a bunch of features I don't really need

Question Will I Receive Regular Updates in Custom ROMs Even if it is not updated for Moto g40/60

I have a doubt about Custom ROMs, I have a smartphone moto g40 fusion and right now I think updates are very rare in this smartphone so that's why i am thinking about installing custom rom like LineageOS or EvolutionX in moto g40. But I found last info about custom ROM was posted in Moto g40/60 forum was on May 2022 and it too much in past so will I get updates even if I install it right now. And if possible plz explain how update work in custom rom like how devs update them, like do they update only like LineageOS or specifically moto g40/60 LineageOS every time. thanx in advance .

Yes, you would have to manually flash updates, and it requires quite a bit of expertise to build your own updates. The more popular a build is, the more likely it is that it will continue to be maintained.

Would love to help, but I haven't gotten into building my own ROMs yet; I'm a Linux enthusiast, and just started running Lineage OS on my A52 4G and Raspberry Pi. You could try contacting @KonstaT though, he is maintaining a bunch of Lineage OS builds and might be able to help you, or at least point you in the right direction.
