The team behind the popular LineageOS custom ROM has been extending LineageOS 17.1 support to new devices ever since the ROM made its debut earlier this year in April. Over the last couple of months, the team has added support for devices like the ASUS ROG Phone II, Google Pixel 3 series, Xiaomi Mi A1, OnePlus One, Google Pixel 3a, Google Pixel 4, and many more. Since our previous coverage, the team has added support for four more devices. In April, we opened up XDA forums for more than 20 smartphones, including the new Sony Xperia lineup, Moto G series, Mi 11X series, Axon 30 Ultra, and more.

The AOSP-based ROM is created by XDA Recognized Developer Agent_fabulous, who is also the maintainer of this particular phone. If you want some Google Pixel goodies on top of vanilla Android, you can also give the Pixel Experience ROM by XDA Member ZIDAN44 a go. According to the developers, the current build might not be suitable as a daily driver due to a partially working radio interface layer. If you want to bite the bullet anyway, grab the builds from the following links. Once you’re done installing TWRP on your device, you’ll be able to flash the POSP custom ROM from the link below. The Android 9 Pie-based AOSP ROM for the Note 8 is a far cry from Xiaomi’s MIUI and offers a stock Android-like experience with plenty of additional features.

• This is normally where enthusiasts install TWRP and begin modding their device.
• But, If you are comfortable using custom ROMs, you can use Lineage OS.
• If you are having problems with system and apps your Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 you can use many advanced options or install a Stock ROM with fastboot mode.
• It means that We can easily root different smartphone variants.
• Want to remove a custom ROM and get your Android phone back to its original state?

The backup will restore your old apps and data, meaning that apps you’ve uninstalled will reappear, and text messages you’ve since received will disappear. If your Nandroid backup is more than a day or two old, you might want to keep it for emergencies only. There are many reasons you might want to revert your rooted phone back to stock Android. But you also need to do it if you want to install a system update. Or perhaps you’ve installed so many tweaks and mods that you just want to get back to some semblance of normality. CesiumOS is new to the game, but already looking good and something which worth a try. The team behind CesiumOS explains it as a “Something born out of a sea of similar-looking AOSP ROMs”.

In its never-ending quest to produce smartphones that combine the best-in-class hardware with a criminally low price point, Xiaomi has hit a new milestone with the Redmi Note 8. In Europe, the device is known as the Redmi Note 8T, with the only difference being that the 8T supports NFC.

• Some require a manual approach using the ADB and Fastboot tools with the command line.
• Over the years stock Android firmware, Xiaomi has become the golden boy of the Indian smartphone market.
• Now, the team has extended support for a few more devices.
• However, you can’t simply sideload these APKs on any Samsung device due to restrictions in One UI.
• Xiaomi, too, used to be one of the worst offenders of GPLv2 in its early days.

But despite best efforts, software experiences still have room to improve, especially considering the fact that experiences center around subjective opinion. At the time, the functionality was restricted to Google Pixel and Nexus devices only. Although Google had promised to eventually extend the feature to all devices running Android Pie and above, it didn’t make it past the Google devices for more than a year. We saw the first sign of Google enabling Android Auto Wireless for non-Pixel devices back in August. Now, we have an official confirmation about some new devices that can take advantage of Android Auto Wireless. The MIUI 12.5 update rollout has picked up steam over the last few weeks. Earlier this month, we saw Xiaomi rolling out the latest version of its custom skin to POCO X3 Pro, followed closely by Redmi K20 Pro.
