[Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Nikooo777:
This forum doesn't get a lot of activity so I thought I'd share my experience with this ROM.

I bought this phone in Switzerland and it came with the Global version of MIUI.

I didn't really like the ROM and the lack of customization (and mostly the fact that I couldn't get seconds to display on the damn status bar) so I decided to go with a custom ROM (ArrowOS which is unmaintained and out of date).

To get that done I had to flash an EEA ROM (maybe i could have just flashed the firmware, who knows), wipe everything and then flash the rom. It kinda worked but i really didn't have a great experience.

So here are the steps I just took to install the rom, coming from another custom rom:

1) Execute a full backup using "Migrate". This is not really needed if you don't mind reinstalling all the apps and logging back in into all your apps.

2) Execute a cloud backup of WhatsApp (just in case)

3) Execute a Nova launcher backup (just in case, I hate reconfiguring that stuff)

4) Copy the Migrate backup on my computer

5) copy the all directories on internal storage that would be relevant/important to me to my computer (Whatsapp, Telegram, DCIM, Downloads)

You can quite literally get all your data by using:

adb pull sdcard/

It will take a while but you should have everything on your pc at the end (verify that!)

6) Following the official guide I flashed the (almost) latest firmware by doing this:

- Download this recovery, extract the zip, and boot to the recovery image using

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img

- Insert your pattern/code if you have one to decrypt storage

- select the firmware and swipe to install. it should take just a few seconds and you should see "Successful" at the top.

- reboot to bootloader

7) Flash PE Recovery with:

#your version may differ, follow the official guide ofc.
fastboot flash recovery PixelExperience_monet-12.1-20220330-1956-OFFICIAL.img

8) reboot to recovery without going through your current OS, otherwise the recovery partition will be overwritten and you'll have to flash recovery again. Just press volume up and power until the phone restarts, then let go of power and finally let go of volume up once you see something.

9) Tap Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset and continue with the formatting process (everything will be lost in this step!)

10) You have to sideload the ROM onto your phone, to do that:

- select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB”

adb sideload PixelExperience_monet-12.1-20220330-1956-OFFICIAL.zip

sideloading took me 3 minutes and 40 seconds so be patient

11) if you want Magisk to be rooted then just download the app on your pc, change the extension from .apk to .zip, tap on "Apply from ADB" again and

adb sideload Magisk-v24.2.zip

12) tap back and reboot to system. First boot will take approximately a minute or two, at least for me it did.

The following steps are simply extra steps I took to restore my data:

- Copy back all relevant directories to your phone. For example:

adb push Migrate /sdcard/
adb push DCIM /sdcard/

- Install "Migrate flasher" from the play store and follow the instructions within to restore all your app and data

If I have more information to add I will edit my post.

Cool rom though! Let's see how it goes :)

EDIT:

Issues I noticed:

- On some app the fingerprint icon is not aligned with the sensor (it's about a cm too low)

- VoWifi wasn't working for me, I had to follow this guide and since Tele2_Netherlands wasn't available I picked Tele2_Sweden, now WiFi calling works.

- The notification bar didn't show seconds, I had to download "System UI Tuner" from the playstore to add this feature

- When the screen is off (and AOD is displayed), tapping on the fingerprint reader doesn't work, however "Hold a little longer" comes up.

- There is no "3 fingers swipe down" gesture to take a screenshot, haven't found a workaround yet, and I don't think I want to backtapping option enabled

- There is no "Hold power while screen off" or a gesture on screen off to turn on the flashlight, no workaround found yet
