[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Moon_420:
Hi! A guide on how to get Pixel 2 XL GSI working on Vince/Redmi 5 Plus.

This is direct port from Pixel 2 XL with patches applied by ErfanGSI/Telegram servers.

MADE FOR SPECIFIC PEOPLE BY SPECIFIC PERSON. NOT A ROM FOR EVERYONE!

Google Camera 7.0 pre-installed however I highly recommend Google Camera 6+!

NOTE:

- The ROM is best used after the phone restarts couple of times.

- The ROM is best used after updates from Google Playstore are done.

- The ROM needs some time to stabilize and optimize after booting up.

After 2-3 hours of use and after updates are done phone will run very smooth.

You may face some lag/stutters but they will be gone later. It's normal cause stuff is updating.

Installation guide:

1. Extract this "Backup" file.

2. Install Orange Fox Recovery V10.

3. Wipe everything (excluding. Internal Storage).

4. Select "backups" and restore this backup.

5. Reboot into OS and log-in into Google.

If you want your UI to feel like GOD then use this profile in Kernel Auditor:

If you want even more stuff then go ahead and copy and paste this into "vendor/etc" and set permission to 0644.

Note battery life gets better after 2 - 3 days. Same for performance, UI will be smoother after while.

If something doesn't work go in Settings > System > Reset options and reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth.

Why use this?

- Easy installation,

- A lot of bugs fixed,

- Camera preinstalled,
