[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] WallyCZ:
Yes, Google Pay works. But be aware, that this rom probably will be never updated since developer switched to Mi 10

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] antykat:
If you are coming from stock MIUI, you should flash vbmeta.img before TWRP. You should also format data (with "yes" confirmation) and reboot TWRP before flashing the rom.

Use procedure of flashing for crDroid rom and you will be fine. You will find there everything you need, but don't flash Gapps. They are already included in PE.

Hello all. Can anyone please guide me through files i need to step this ROM. i read last couple pages and people are talking about flashing vbmeta before TWRP or bootloop, the phone my gf have is Mi 9 Global version running latest MIUI version. Is it possible to flash PE without downgrading her phone? If so, can you please link me;

-Right vbmeta.img

-twrp.img

-and anything else i need to know?

Thank you so much!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] antykat:
You don't have to downgrade. If your bootloader is unlocked, use procedure of first installation for crDroid. It always work for every AOSP rom when you are coming from stock MIUI. But don't flash GApps. It's already in PE rom.

Notice, that PE was updated 2 months ago and we can't be sure it's still supported. Maybe it's not the best choice at the moment.

For anyone concered about not getting security updates any more...

I just dirty flashed Paranoid android quartz 5 over the top of the latest plus PE and it works perfectly, no fuss, I did have to remove my face data and re-add but that was it, both seem to have pretty much feature parity.

Obvioulsy YMMV so do a twrp backup before you try.

The rom has no developpement anymore.

It's super time consuming to maintain a ROM, and I can see why people just let it go at some point.

So time to look elsewhere for up to date things like security patch and features!

Move to another rom.

PA5 ??
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Vogie:
PA5 Stands for Paranoid Android 5, (Quartz)

There are a lot of good ROMs like PA, crDroid, Drepfest, ...

PA is a ready to use ROM, for exam Havoc ROM needs a lot of modifications or crDroid has a lot of customization options.

PA is the clean and Plug and Play ROM :D

I think you should try all custom ROMs to find best result for your usage.

Use Buggy Backup app to backup installed apps with data (Root Needs)

Use Super Backup & Restore to backup and restore call logs and SMS.

Computer or Type-C flash to save your back up data (Format Data needs to change ROMs)

Around 2 hours to backup / install new ROM / restore and customizations.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
I can see the developer is a young student and not very serious. I know he's under no obligations and he offers his software as is, but you just don't leave a ROM without even saying goodbye to the people who trusted you. I won't touch a piece of software by him again.

Can anyone speak for the developers of the other options we're left with? Are they any more reputable than markakash?

Hi

I have a problem with installation.

I flashed "vendor_firmware.zip" then flashed "pixel_10_plus_cepheus.zip" and when i rebooted, the phone is booted to fastboot.

And i can't go out. Can't boot to recovery.

The only solution is to flash stok rom via "mi flash tool".

I repeated the process but it's still the same.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kipue:
I use PA for a while now, the dev has followed it up regularly.

Nothing fancy to it, but it works perfect for me.

The developpement of the current version is at an end while they work on Android 11 version though.

As for your general comment I agree with you a bit but truly the dev owes us nothing at all.

Same happens on other devices, just we feel it more here since we are starved for content...

Maybe this thread should be closed

Thanks for this concise summary. How do you transfer the files to the root of the smartphone?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
I suggest everyone with a Xiaomi Mi 9 to move to crDroid. Its developer, raystef66, is serious enough to not abandon Android 10 users while he develops Android 11.

Just for everybody's information: AOSP 10 is NOT end of life. Google keeps providing security updates. If you stay with Pixel Experience or Paranoid Android you'll be told AOSP 10 is end of life and won't receive any updates until their developers launch their ROM based on Android 11. If, for any reason, you don't want to update to Android 11, you'll be left in the cold. That's a very unprofessional behaviour for a developer, but you can expect this to happen every year when a new Android version is launched if you trust markakash or Cave_diver.

You have been warned.

EDIT: Typos & clarify.

Does rom have no more updates? died Pixel Experience.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hoanvu1100:
Sad but true. Abadoned
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Cave_diver:
You're clearly showing a lack of basic reading and comprehension skills :mad:

First of all, I said over in the PA thread, that Paranoid Android Quartz was end of life. That is the Android 10 version of Paranoid Android..

Quartz is no longer being maintained and updated and it did not receive security patches for October, not much of any patches since the Quartz 5 release.

Other ROM's may still be getting updated, but that's hardly relevant.

You surely don't expect us as maintainers (whose "job" it is to bring the ROM to a device) to actually start continuing to develop the ROM itself, once it is end of life???

So to recap, what I did was close the PA Quartz thread which ends my involvement with Quartz for the Mi9.

There is a fully working Quartz 5 for the Mi9 with very few issues to it, so people can keep using it (I am for example using it).

So what exactly are you calling me "unprofessional" for?

For not giving you something you apparently want, which is something that doesn't even exist????

And then to your complaint about the maintainer in this thread abandoning his PE project.

Let me tell you flat out that he owes you

absolutely nothing.

He can abandon his ROM's at any time for any reason, he doesn't owe anyone an explanation.

And calling people "unprofessional" and "warning" others about them, especially including some of his real life details, is truly a bit beyond rude.

You may not realize it, but this is highly toxic to the custom ROM scene.

Do you think anyone you call out like that is compelled to bring something new to XDA when it is pretty likely that at some point, when it can't be maintained anymore for whatever reason (and this includes any reason, personal issues, time constraints etc.), one gets called out for it again?

The most professional thing to do at this point would be for you to write an apology.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
I'd say you are the one with reading comprehension issues. I already mentioned no developer of freely available software owes me anything. But that doesn't mean their behavior is right, when it's not.

What is definitely toxic to the custom ROM scene is developers like you who simply abandon their users for the fancy new stuff.

You said AOSP 10 is end of life and that's a lie. Google keeps providing security updates even for AOSP 8. I don't know which part of the development of PA is your responsibility. All I know is you leaving the users of your software with no security updates is anything but professional.

I don't personally know anyone of you. I couldn't have anyone's real life details so I don't know how could I have revealed any of them. All I know about you is what you say about yourselves and your work as software developers of Mi 9 ROMs. That work and the attitude around it is definitely unprofessional and people deserve to be warned about it.

It's not really hard to understand.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Cave_diver:
So what fancy new stuff did we abandon anything for? And what exactly did we abandon?

I told you already that PA Quartz is no longer being updated/maintained so what are you realistically expecting me to do?

Do you expect me to continue to develop an abandoned ROM branch (quartz) in some 750+ repo trees?

Are you expecting me to manually work security patches into ROM trees that I have zero to do with?

And it's not only security patches, it is the entire upstreaming from AOSP and CAF which is quite some work...

Are you wanting me to patch a kernel that I am not developing and that may need to get security patches too?

If so you clearly do not understand what ROM development is about.

There is an entire team of around 30+ people working on this with Paranoid Android who decided to pull the plug on Quartz and to continue their work on Ruby.

So Quartz is discontinued, as can be verified from the PA blog.

Don't blame that fact on me, I never made the decision to discontinue it.

It's pretty simple. I'm not a "developer" of the PA ROM, I was a maintainer for Quartz for the Mi9 with PA.

The only repos a maintainer is responsible for are the device/vendor trees and in some cases the kernel. The rest is a different team.

Pretty much the same is true of markakash who is mainly a maintainer for PE as well.

You mentioned the PE maintainers personal profession in this thread and accused him of being unprofessional.

Not sure what his real life profession has anything to do with it.

Mentioning him with his profession is, especially considering his name his out there, possibly going to have impact for his real life and real life employment.

You're butthurt because you apparently feel entitled to get updates and call out people risking that this has an impact on their real life.

That truly is not right.

No worries, after this huge BS from you I'm done providing ANYTHING to the community on XDA for the time being.

So no need to warn anyone, there won't be anything from my side. People can blame users like you for it.

It's going to save me a LOT of time that is spent on something people like you do not appreciate, never mind all the money spent on computing resources every month for testing.

Congratulations dude...

Don't take too serious what this noob is shouting at people like yourself or Markakash. It's a sign of an awfully greedy mindset. Best thing is not even ignoring him.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kipue:
You are a bit like those people starting a sentence with "No offence, but...."

Yes, you mean to be unpleasant. As you said, no one owes you or me or anyone anything, so why actually complain?

Have you tried to develop a ROM. I have only tried it a couple of times for my own usage and already I could see how time consuming this is and very quickly gave up.

Finally, you call this "unprofessional". Well, it IS unprofessional, or not professional. The devs don't earn money (maybe a donation here and there), and may want to do something that will make them money, like study harder, find a job, etc.

When a Samsung, Xiaomi, whatever brand phone gets no new version of Android after 2 years or so, then yeah, go complain! The people making that software are actually paid :p

Another way to look at it, friend. Here on XDA, people must be understanding of each other, it's the way it works. The problem with you comment is that you have no right or rule backing you up...
