[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
With where this device was released that is not always an option. I mena who really can afford to just go get another device just at the drop of a hat.

By posting here it helps other to see what they are getting into with this OEM. Many of the older people here already know it and it is kinda common knowledge to stay away from this OEM at all costs. But newer people dont know this. So it helps plus it really isnt hurting anything.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] goorek:
Am I the only one who knew Xiaomi can be late with Oreo but bought device nevertheless? I did my research, I know their policy, and I knew Oreo will be here until 2018, so I didn't end up frustrated now. There were like 3 security updates on time, that's what counts now.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
If I can't afford buying another phone, that's one more reason to read all the reviews and user experience in advance. Lack of Oreo doesn't prevent anyone from using the phone. Is it a perfect phone? Surely not. Is there a better option for about 200usd? I don't know about any.

Does the whining/complaining hurt anything? Probably not. But does it help in so many topics and posts? I doubt so. I like to read about new mods, tips, tricks etc., but many otherwise useful topics get hijacked with "frustrated people". And this gets me...frustrated :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] dafiduck:
I agree with you, I really want Oreo but my user experience with Nouguat on MI A1 is excellent so I can wait, the security updates arrive with regularity and this matters, the android ecosystem suffers from the rarely security update for mid-level devices, so we must be patients and enjoy this little jewel
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sitarumadalincosmin:
We're definitely not the same!I don't live in North Korea to be all the same. Lucky me ! And if you are frustrated about my topic there's a simple way to be happy again: Do not read all the comments! Ive named the title "oreo 4 Mi A1" nor " mods,tricks,etc..." . We live in a free world and anyone has the right to express the feelings
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] moliverac8:
They said Oreo before the end of the year, I don't understand how people can complain about the update when where still in December. Just wait for June man.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
They were excited to think it would be updated like the pixels, nexus or other Google devices. Normal they are disappointed to find out they won't be.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Filip013:
Let me chime in this discussion, even though I have nothing to say....

I am looking forward to Oreo, but not unbearably. Personally, XPosed is more important to me than Oreo and we might have to wait for a few weeks for XPosed to be updated to Oreo.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ydd0ras:
Also my point of view. The device have the latest security patch level, many bugs have been solved. And I use rather a stable 7.1.2 instead a 8.0 with lot of issues. And gapps-free LOS or CAF based custom ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ГАСООП:
I dont understand the brainless urge for Oreo. Dont you guys have any other things im life Apart the android number? How old are you? It will come, chill... Its just a cheap phone...

Haha. My LG G4 still waits for a buggy version of 7.0 xD

You have to chill
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] wawing_b:
:) so have you gotten the Oreo on your MiA1 yet, or did you moved on to other handset that are already has the Oreo?

does the shouting works? :angel:

if the time comes fort the MiA1 to get the Oreo, then all we can do is wait for it.. well that's just me, and it does not have to apply to others..

hopefully, along with the Oreo update(s) the camera software will also updated (regularly) :fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] hemantv:
I'm still rocking my Nexus 5 with AOSP 8.0 rom. I might get my hands on the MI A1 this week (on sale), a upgrade for battery and camera.

I'll definitely look forward to Xiaomi's given timeline for Oreo, hopefully they'll release the kernel sources too by then. :)

I've already applied. Has anyone received any message from the forum to know if you have been choosen?

In case that you are choosen, is there any way to leave the beta program in case that you want to?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] hacker1:
Lol, so 8.1 will be released tomorrow, and Xiaomi is starting a beta program for 8.0 on Dec 12th.

"Android One users are among the first to get new OS upgrades when they’re released"...yeah right
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] goorek:
For us, one noticeable change in 8.1 is Bluetooth battery level indicators. Not that big of a difference. They told many times that Oreo will come in December. You have to filter marketing bull**** while you buy anything :)

I hope with Oreo they will enable Night Light. It would be nice to have camera2 API enabled. And it would be amazing to have Treble. We will see. :)

Xiomi goes with Chinese reputation

Never ever believe chainese company.My first and last xiomi phone...... they advertise this with as Android one phone.

Even mi6 get its beta tester before mi a1. Google biggest mistake to choose xiomi as partner......:(:(:(:confused:

They told as oreo before end of this year. We are hoping that we get stable oreo release before end of this year but now it look like before end of 2018 year. Now it is too much from xiomi to expect Treble support for mi A1. Now i am doughting for kernel source....:confused:

Srry for bad english...

so much frustrated
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] gusbalaa:
so thats mean our devices gonna get first update right ?

But Oreo for Mi 6 not released yet, i think our device the next after Mi 6 get the Oreo.

Maybe
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sale 83:
It is Dec 05, 2017.

Year hasn't ended yet.

So why are you frustrated for then?For not having patience?

From 7th DEC to 9th Dec mi a1 will cost just 12999 INR

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Can you tell me any single device which has android Oreo in the price range of 200EUR ?? Even Samsung s8 note 8 doesn't have Oreo update. Recently unveiled one plus 5t doesn't have Oreo update (and they won't support project treble in future for their present devices) moreover xiaomi promises to give Oreo update for mi a1 before the end of the year and they have started beta testing appreciate that.. Nobody will offer pixel like support on 15K mobile..

Now they have to release kernel source that is the only thing left. Hopefully they will release kernel source after Oreo update.

And last thing Mi A1 is the first amongst to get android P also...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] vkbhanwariya:
yeah you are right. but tell me one single device which has

advertised as android one device and promised to get latest update after pixel and nexus.

it not about to cost of mobile, its about to promised when u made at release of device....

Let consider price....when I pruchased mi a1 the same day Huwai p9 on sale for 15k. which have better hardware and camera. I choose mi a1 over p9 because its promised faster update than any other device. So i think there is nothing to appreciation for this beta with lots of terms and conditions.:(
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] goorek:
That's the first batch of Android One devices which are managed by OEMs, and not by Google itself. It will still get Oreo faster than P9 :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] t0per666:
Are you guys happy now? we have a beta test for oreo this coming december 12 by the end of the year they will release the stable build and hopefully along with the kernel source!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sitarumadalincosmin:
You say that beta testing is only 3 weeks? I will think twice before installing it. ...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Powered by SRAM:
Beta? No thanks....I can wait for a "stable" version. I'm not that desperate.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] vkbhanwariya:
But huwai doesn't said they would give oreo before and of the year.....but xiomi said thousand time.

I wonder that only camera patch take so much time :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sitarumadalincosmin:
I guess all of you are happy now . Xiaomi releasing the beta program for A1' on December 12th.

Still for me and many of you , that's not a solution because in my experience I've seen what beta testing could done .

So in my point of view I have to say pass untill the final update ,and I hope not in q1 2018....

Good job xiaomi !

Android one is behind mi6 ....
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] nilkanth.marshiwane:
But why Xiaomi taking so much time for releasing kernel source code?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sitarumadalincosmin:
Good question! I have no idea! Maybe the are working to hard to release our Oreo update :laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] nilkanth.marshiwane:
And now android oreo 8.1 uploaded to aosp ???
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sitarumadalincosmin:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] tixooo:
You are so wrong. Sony has ore for two months now non beta. HTC has Oreo for few weeks now, same as OnePlus only Samsung is in beta.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

This s so horrible that people are happy with what little we have thrown at us. This phone had promisses fast updates. This is by a long shot no fast update but one of the slowest ... Heck when Samsung has faster beta and presumably faster updates for some of their phones then your phone that is supposed to be plug and play mostly with slight tests then you definitely doing something wrong. This for ago my last phone from this brand till they get their **** together. And don't get at me with it was promisses till end of the year. You'd presume that a clean Android phone is supposed to get super fast updates compared to the rest and one of the first... Not one of the last. Sad and pathetic
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
I hate to say it but it's normal for Xiaomi users. They have been programmed to think they can do no wrong. This comes from them banning anyone that questions them in their forums. So now they just smile and nod.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] tixooo:
I guess you are right but I'm not familiar with that dramatic nor I care ... But it was obvious it was my last phone if them. Sad it had great quality decent camera great portrait mode, good software potential ... And they had to do soooo little .... Just to push up an update when it came out not postpone it. Even Samsung started to understand and work hard for that ... Even their s6 will get Android 8 and it's laughable that the slowest company is pushing heavily skinned Android faster than a company with clean af Android. Sad
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] GughanRk:
Just my 2 cents. Please don't call this an Android One phone. I owned one of the earlier Android One phones, the Micromax A1 (the name seems ironic now). My experience with that phone was nothing like this. We got the Lollipop and Marshmallow updates alongside the Nexus and had updated custom ROMs even earlier (we had a really wonderful developer community). That phone, in comparison to this, cost a measly $95. That said, the Mi A1 is definitely a great phone, well worth it's price. It just isn't a good Android One phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ydd0ras:
But imagine this device as soon the kernel sources have been released. When I imagine I could have an CAF build, or RR, Nitrogen OS or LOS based ViperOS....nice. I hope someday this come true.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Dont hope for kernel source. Hope for complete and unbroken kernel source (which would be a first for this OEM) This is what stops alot of development for this OEM. Normally what they release is incomplete and the devs have to hack together roms.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ydd0ras:
Yes, mate I know. But i will be satisfied with an similar situation as with the cancro devices (Mi 3 and Mi 4).

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] shrinivasanp:
Probably Google doesn't care much about Android one, atleast not as much as the main Android

Probably they have left all the updates to the device manufacturers

Xiaomi is much too occupied with its own MIUI development and owners of Mi A1 will be left hanging dry !

I flashed TWRP recovery for the device from Odin and tried to boot into recovery using adb reboot recovery. Ever since then the device boots till the TWRP teamwin screen and then restarts. It's stuck in a bootloop. It's got a non-removable battery so I cant remove the battery. I have tried holding down the power button for like a minute or two but it does not turn off. I have tried to get into download mode by holding down the combination but I cant and it is still stuck in a bootloop. What to do?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] appye:
Morning,

So I purposely went from running a lineage based ROM to a locked bootloader and TW on 4.4.2. I am happy with it. Battery life is better and things like the compass work now. I am currently runnng the PaulPizz ROM, so I am rooted.

I am using an app called "Button Mapper" to remap my buttons to a style more to my liking. What I would like to know is if there is more of a lower level way of doing this, like some build prop edits or something? I would like to remap my buttons without running a service in th background... I can look into Xposed, but I imagine it may be tricky, being that I am on a several year old KitKat OS, and I don't know how it works as far as whether or not it makes lower level changes to the system or just runs as a background service.

Thanks for your time!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] GLSmyth:
My Samsung Galaxy 3 had a great feature called Best Shot. Basically, it was a burst option that would then select what it thought was the best of the burst options (of course, you could go through the images taken and select the one(s) you wanted to keep).

This is apparently no longer available on my Galaxy 7. I would love to find another camera that offered this option but so far no luck.

Any idea if a camera with this option exists anywhere in the Google Play Store? I found it so convenient for numerous instances that I really miss it.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] Chisame:
I've just ordered the Mi Max 2 on Cyber Monday for $189.99 USD on GB, I've already applied and gotten approved for Xiaomi bootloader unlock.

While waiting for my phone to arrive I've been trying to do the necessary preperations for flashing Magisk.

I've never used Magisk before as my current Zenfone 5 uses SuperSU.

According to the release thread for Magisk the new Magisk Manager can patch the boot.img directly.

My question is, will the below steps work?

-unlock the bootloader

-install magisk manager

-download the full rom for the mi max 2 and patch it with the magisk manager

-flash the patched rom?

Would this work and would I be able to receive OTA updates using this method?

I'm asking because using TWRP means no OTA updates and that's a pain.

I want Magisk just for root, adblock, and camera api module to use google camera HDR+

I can't find any answers to my questions anywhere as all guides and threads talk about using the TWRP method and all say TWRP can't recieve OTA.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] reversegear:
if you rooted forget about OTA updates.

u need to download recovery flashable update zip files against small size OTA's

this is a little hack for OTA updates.(if you have a stock recovery.img) ive not tried though

flash existing flashable rom. this removes (magisk / supersu / all system modification )

flash stock recovery

flash ota update via stock recovery

again u can flash magisk to get root.

u need to repeat the whole process whenever a ota is available (i would prefer to download the recovery flashable zip and flash it in TWRP)

no need to patch rom/ boot.img just flash magisk.zip in twrp it patches automatically.

manual patching is required only for certain specific devices.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Asv97:
If you are on stock recovery,the above method will work without any problem.However,if you are on TWRP,you better flash it through the install option.

I'd always recommend peeps to wipe everything before flashing a major build.However,you should be fine even if you dirty flash or wipe cache/dalvik.

Edit:Most of the people face battery drain issues after flashing a rom/update/firmware.I advise you to clear cache/dalvik after flashing any update/rom
