Help with update procedure for Xiaomi Mi A1 (5X) - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
This is my first post, so thanks for any help before hand.
I have one of the phones that came with the infamous Oxygen bootloader.
And i am loking for help in order to update it to latest release avaliable.
I am on the android version 7.1.2, MiUI v9.0.3.0, my phone identifies itself as 5x, but from my understanding the only difference between the 2 version is the fingerprint sensor and a few cellular band support .
My ROM is a custom ROM that i found in another forum and flashed trought the miflash application.
I am not sure about the rom version yet, because the A1 has android Pie now, and the ROM for the X5 is still Oreo with the MiUI 10, so i am open to suggestions.
I would prefer to transform my phone into a A1 and get ride of the Oxygen bootloader if possible.
Ofc the best option is the safest way and the one that dosen t cripple my phone, because right now it works perfectly fine as day one, with exception to the battery lifetime, but i guess thats normal for a phone with 15 months.
Thanks for the help.

Question on custom rom for redmi pro

Hey all ,
So I recently lost my phone and had to buy a new one so this Redmi Pro seemed like a great bargain.
I (stupidly) didn't research the OS because I just assumed I could put stock android / CM if I didn't like the phone. Anyway I absolutely hate MIUI 8 ....
I've started the process of requesting the unlock and hopefully that will be successful but is there any ROMs I can even put on this phone ? According to the CM wiki the Redmi Pro isn't supported officially and even unofficially :'(
So have I just made a made a gigantic mistake and am stuck with an iOS clone for another year till I buy a new phone ?
same problem...

CM support will take time as the phone has only just been released. In the meantime you can get small MIUI customisations for the Redmi Pro on smiui.net (I haven't tried these yet).
Personally with the Google Now launcher taking the place of the MIUI launcher and Chrome instead of the Xiaomi browser I don't mind the global version of MIUI 8.

What ROM do you recommend for Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 ?

I want to replace the ROM on my Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21.
Currently installed: Android 5.0.1 ALE-L211C432B190.
Please help me choose a ROM that would be best for this phone (in your opinion), considering:
- Android version newer than 5.0.1
- Supports Dual Sim
- rooted
- Stable (i need a ROM that is not experimental, but suitable for day to day use, something reliable)
- Has no bugs with hardware/software (eg. sensors, or other features)
- doesn't slow the phone significantly
I am aware this type of question often annoys people (as anyone may consider a different ROM as "best"), but if you can leave your personal feelings aside and give your best 2 cents in answering my request would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I use AOSPA by surdu, this rom have a better battery life than the original emui and it just works fine, I had RROS in the past but AOSPA is more stable
Thanks @BananeMan1
I've got into some trouble with my phone (bootloader became locked after installing the updates to get EMUI 4.1)
I posed the issue here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/help/p8lite-ale-l21-unlock-bootloader-t3779631
I have some problems with AOSPA:
- Can't access Phone or SIM contacts, only gmail contacts
- Any imported contacts (VCF) went to gmail account and there is no way to save them in Phone or SIM.
- as is not EMUI, HiSuite doesn't work.
While I'm sure it would be fun to try all ROMs made here, for sure I lack the necessary time, therefore I would like to know which ROM is EMUI and works with HiSuite (if any).

This is Lineage OS 13 for p8 lite. It is unofficial, but it is stable. I currently don't know whether that supports saving contacts to the sim card. But you better have a look at the thread.
There is also an Oreo ROM, which is unstable at the moment and doesn't recommend that.
There is also the Lineage OS 14 for p8 lite 2017.
Yours is 2015 so it won't support neither yours or mine.

Mi A1 Stock Rom Conffuseion

Hello guys! I tryed to search all over forum to get answer but no success.
I bought Xiaomi Mi A1 32/4GB 3 months ago. It comed in Nougat version of android. Upgraded it to Oreo and used it until April security update. After that, i decided to flash Resurection Remix. I lked rom but there are some bugs and i decided to flash stock rom. I downloaded rom from en.miui.com and flashed it using Mi Flash Tool. After device booted up, i noticed some preinstalled apps that i didnt have when i bought device. I got apps called: Mi Comunity and Mi store. Also i noticed that i dont have Xiaomis Remote controll as system app so i needed to download it from play store manually. Can someone explain this? Did i downloaded rom for other region? (wich i dont belive its problem because this is Android One phone so everyone have Global Rom, i think)
Any answer is welcome.
Sorry if i posted in wrong section this thread, i am noob at XDA.
Just bought last month, it have mi community come with stock, i'm not sure about mi store and mi remote because i install RR6.0 right after finish download.
Did you choose flash all and relock or keep user data?
Its all good, used it before. Just the normal ROM with added programs.
Well i chosed clean all and lock in mi flash tool.
Well i have to add my phone is heating up when i use phone longer, i didnt have that problem when it came out of box.
I downloaded firmware from xda with january security patch(upgraded it later to April) and flashed it. Il try to flash some other stock rom from other links, not en.miui.com one.
So everyone have same rom or this phone have roms but they are different from region to region?
Thanks for answers!

Android Pie 9

When will we get android pie Rom properly
In many Mi android cell phones have Android 9 already :crying:
Soon, you can try the treble rom for the moment, but it doesn't work in some models.. i believe devs are taking their time to give us an stable ROM in the first release (also it normally takes 1 or 2 months)
I'm also thinking like this
Andorid Pie Treble Rom works fine on XT1687
I accidentally wrote everything has a title.

Need an advice from fellow users

Hello everyone , it's my first time doing a thread in this forum , i hope i contribute in this community a lot in the future.
So i ordered a Max Pro M1 and it will arrive in a week , before that i really did my research on every update that Asus provided this phone since may 2018, the problem is since last month and the pie update, many users didn't seem quite happy with the performance of the software , so is there any chance i can have just the updates without the Pie upgrade? and do you recommend if i install another ROM ?
Thank you for reading and i will really be happy if you give me your opinion on the matter. ?
Just update the phone as usual, but when it tells you there's a Pie update, don't install it. Besides, Pie hasn't arrived until now. It's been released before but it was pulled back because it was very unstable.
Personally, when I buy this device (I plan to) I'll just go ahead and install a custom ROM. I mean, that's the reason I get an Android phone, to be able to customise the software.
I am staying on Oreo. Last version is 340 and it is also considered the best version. My colleague bought this phone last week and received 340 update too, so I think that Pie (050) is not in distribution for now.
