What are your experiences with Arrow OS, Pixel OS or ProtonPlus, how is the experience and is it worth switching to one of the three custom ROM's? - Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, I've a Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite and I'm currently using Xiaomi.eu. Now I'm switching to another custom ROM and found 3 of then: Arrow OS, Pixel OS and ProtonPlus. Anyone using or have used one of the three, how is your experience with the ROM? Does SafetyNet work with the stated ROM's? Is if overall worth it and lastly which of the 3 is the best choice?

Im using PixelOS right now, it's stable and has good battery life, fast charging also works and SafetyNet also passes, only thing that doesn't work is LDAC / aptX, even with AAC the audio quality is not good.

Alright, thanks for the information!
After doing some research I've chosen for Arrow OS for my Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite but I can't download the newest version because the file is unavailable or removed. Does the method of flashing a older version and then update to latest version with OTA work?

I've just gotten an answer and that is that because build is unofficial the stated method doesn't work.

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 :
assistant don't work with the ai button.
Loud speaker don't work

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.
Devs are waiting for this:

It is release now so we can expect android 10 custom rom soon.

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!

Are there any good ROM's or GSI for RN8P?

Ive tried Cesium Pixel Havoc. No offence but they all have major problems? I find them unuseable. Does anyone know of a rom an can share the link for a rom for RN8P that actually can be used for a daily driver.
I am about to try my luck with Globe rom an Xiaomi.EU
The only thing ive found that works but I do not like Is Miui lol?
(no good for me as tiny status bar that even with a terminal emulator cannot be improved much).
I was hoping someone would take an interest an pick up this cellphone after 6 months but has not happened yet.
The good thing about RN8P is that I have found unbricking quite easy as the bootloader seems to remain permanently unlocked till you relock it.
Just a lack of ROMs
I think you have tried out the GSI roms mentioned on this thread:
"Full Guide on how to Unlock, Root, and flash GSI to Redmi Note 8 Pro"
Did you give AndyYan's LOS v17.1 a try yet?
If I fly over the Redmi Note 8 Pro test report on the phh treble page: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-8-Pro#hardware-support - it doesn't look that bad.
Unlike the custom roms even NFC seems to work. Major bug should be the camera.
I haven't installed any GSI yet because some of them use the Q vendor image. So I was too scared to mess around with it yet
My hopes rely on the custom roms.
They work hard to make progress.
I have tried AndyYan's Lineage OS 17.1 and I think that one worked the best in my experience. I have also tried Havoc OS 2.9 GSI but the battery life on that one sucked.

Nope.

From global rom to... which rom ?

I've just unlocked by Redmi note 8t (willow) and have to choose which custom rom to install, among the several options.
I'm oriented for an AOSP experience (Havoc, for example) but I'd no want compromises: I need a stable, full features and well supported system.
Does Xiaomi.eu remain the best choice under these last three points ?

All A10 AOSP roms has bugs, like aux camera doesnt work and hardware composer (only 1 rom with hwc fixed, hentai rom by dyneteve).
So current status of aosp development is they are waiting for official miui A10 beta release, for the blobs, which currently still closed beta and hopefully release by this month.
If you dont want compromises, just wait in miui based rom or try aosp 9 roms and if you want aux to work you have to set selinux to permissive.

I've decided to go with mmx, based on xiaomi.eu
I think it can be a good choice.
To set selinux to permissive how can I proceed, if You know ?

If you on miui based rom, you dont have to that, aux works just fine, only aosp 9 roms need to be permissive.
Just enter this command in terminal;
su
setenforce 0

No other opinions about this topic ?
I'm still stuck on which is best choice among Xiaomi.eu, miui.it and miuimix.

I'm using the beta from ROM builder site, and it is definitely a smoother experience, the stock EU that mine came with had quite a few lags.

Just came to eu for 2 days after unlock the phone, and has no bug to find out until now, using daily or play game (WOT). Maybe there is a little lag while combat many tanks at same place, but overall its smooth.
miui based is good enough, call recording built in, add some gestures, no bloatware except i dont like some miui apps (record, calendar, compass....) and have to replace them with gg one.
I pretended to try Pixel first, but like you, i need stable, dont worry about bugs and update n update n update...
hello.
just asking which rom did you go for, and how is the experience?

When xiaomi will release android 10 for ginkgo, the dev will use the display and other blobs from miui and them use them in aosp, which will fix bugs like hwc and camera, so there would be more stable custom rom, am i right?

Can you please te us what ROM you're using and if you've been using it since this post? Looking for a MIUI experience with call recording and stability... Thanks.

Xiaomi.eu

Hey guys,
Tempted to install the Xiaomi EU ROM as I've heard it is very good for battery and performance. I have a few questions with regards to updates however. Does xiaomi.eu support OTA updates after the first flash, does it support major software update flashes OTA without the need to wipe data, and does it work with custom recoveries? I have orangeFox downloaded right now but I can change to TWRP.
Thanks
EDIT: Just flashed Lineage, then Arrow, then dotOS, prefer Dot out of the 3, great ROM would reccomend.

Coming from F2 Pro EU ROM it wasn't OTA updates, you needed to manually download and flash via TWRP. That could be different with OrangeFox as we only had TWRP on F2. Even when flashing manually you didn't need to wipe even when going from A10 to A11 as long as you kept on Stable route or the weekly route (I went stable)
I'm tempted by this device since mi-globe ROM is since ca. a week also available. It is based on xiaomi.eu Builds but you can customize the build by removing a bunch of MIUI apps (BugReport, Browser, Weather, Email, LiveWallpaper, File-Explorer) and block the Xiaomi Sync Daemon. See mi-globe FAQ.
I would be interested on any reports and feedbacks of xiaomi.eu or mi-globe users on this device compared to the Stock ROM , I'm particularly interested in the Cam performance (Stock ANX and/or GCam builds).

Hey, I just remembered I posted this lol. You're right, you can dirty flash over your existing build, but I went for DotOS after all haha

Hey, I know its not Xiaomi EU but I found DotOS and ArrowOS to be miles better than MIUI, the camera performance isn't great with the pre-installed cam on both ROMs but with GCam PX it's actually very very good!

Thx, I also prefer clean fast CustomROMs over Stock in general, but thaught that at this stage gauguin has not yet such stable daily driver cROMs and until that I would go with xiaomi.eu/mi-globe - without at least those I would not buy a Xiaomi device.
For Custom ROMs I prefer those with Signature Spoofing Support and particularly like crDroid. If I order this device (depends if RN10 Pro does not become more interesting soon) I guess I have to try out by myself Nice to see the community growing here.
EDIT: Redmi Note 10 Pro Max is rumored to have Snapdragon 768G, Amoled, 108 Mpx - so definitely will wait if it gets that and will be availanle at a price point under Mi 10T Lite and will soon get Custom ROMs.

Has anybody tested Miracast (screen mirror) on Stock/xiaomi.eu or Custom ROMs? Seems to be present in LOS 14.1 but not in crDroid 6.x

Mi 10T recommended ROM

Hello XDA.
As you all can see I'm new to the forum, and also new to Rooting smartphones, I Have a Mi 10T that I'm finally willing to Flash to a custom ROM.
The reason behind flashing is lately I wanted a faster Tether. which means Ethernet Tether is the way to go, but Xiaomi decided not to ship it.
So my question Is, what will I lose (regarding features) when I root (flash a custom ROM) also whats the security concerns that I will face.
lastly. which ROM is best suited for Mi 10T, as I see few popular ROMs out there.
Thanks in Advance.
hello, for the mi10t you have Lineage 18.1 or crDroid, the best for me is Lineage, with CrDroid I have proximity sensor problems. And you don't have to be root.
U don't have to root ur phone if you are just going to use it just as a usual phone. Last time most of the roms had idle drain issue(not sure if they still have the problem). So went back to xiaomi.eu stable rom. Now in Arrow OS Android 12 rom. Screen time is awesome. Few minor bugs here and there.
thank you guys for the feedback. do you have ethernet tether enabled ?
also on Linage OS do i have to root it ?
