Hi, i got my device today while it take one week for lazada to deliver the item. Delivery service is good since driver call me advance for my availability.

1. Wowphone get their stock from directD or Wowphone is directD? I not sure but their address is the same (in Wowphone lazada deliver order and directD wholesale invoice), so.... GST claim twice???

2. Phone condition is great, storage is 58GB after the system & apps installed. Ram left 60% after fb, whatsapp, wechat, grab, mobile legend, Crash Royale n etc installed. 2204/3593 ram left over is consider plenty for other apps usage.

3. Never thought that 2 pin charger is come along since i thought global set is 3 pin. Perhaps look for outside brand 3 pin charger for ease use. 5V, 2A charger is fine to me since what do you expect from 1k device.   

4. RM929 is the cheapest that i can find. It is worth? No NFC, No bluetooth aptx, battery, screen is average. Other competitor Moto G5S Plus or Lenovo P2 offer some of Mi A1 weakness but come with higher price (at RM999+Free Gift) and some disadvantages as well.

PS: i write at here becos lazada wont let reviewer post photo. Stay tuned for ckystore accessories update.

It's a mid range phone after all.

Can't expect it to be buttery smooth.

OnePlus 5T is a no brainer if you have the budget.

Mi A1 is a budget friendly phone.

Hi, can anyone point out or link me to any trusted seller in Lazada? Would like to buy one unit but not sure from which seller as I never use Lazada before.

Any seller with at least 4 stars.

If you can wait, wait for 12.12, very possible to buy this phone at <RM800.

Semi-Functional LineageOS 14.1 Released for the Xiaomi Mi A1 Despite Lack of Kernel Sources

Here at XDA, we love custom ROMs, the whole reason why some of us are such huge fans of Android is because of the openness of the platform and the feats of ingenuity many developers on our forums have accomplished. The openness of the platform is thanks to core parts of Android being open source (AOSP) and its underlying Linux kernel being licensed under the GPL, which we at XDA support in its entirety. We have brought attention to the fact that many companies in the past have violated the GPL, with the most recent offender being Xiaomi. What makes this even stranger is that the kernel sources they are failing to release are for a device under the Android One program, the Xiaomi Mi A1.

However, having mentioned the ingenuity of the developers on our forums, Recognized Contributor deadman96385 and Inactive Recognized Developer cute_prince have worked to bring a semi-functional LineageOS 14.1 to the Xiaomi Mi A1, without any proper kernel sources whatsoever. How did they do this? The developers ported the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (mido) kernel which partly works due to hardware similarities between the devices, which allows for a bootable ROM, albeit not very functional at the moment.

The list of what isn’t working is fairly large, but the actual ability to create a bootable ROM without proper kernel sources is a great feat. You can view what does and doesn’t work at the link down below, and appreciate the huge amount of work that went into the ROM to get LineageOS 14.1 even booting on the Xiaomi Mi A1 without any kernel sources or ground to work from.

It’s a shame that Xiaomi’s first Android One device, which is an excellent device mind you, is suffering from a lack of custom development because Xiaomi is taking their sweet time to release kernel sources. We hope that Xiaomi rectifies this matter quickly, because there are a lot of Mi A1 users on our forums who wish to see more custom ROMs for their beloved device.

IMO, there is no need a custom rom if you are running stock Android.

That's the selling point of Android One devices.

Between Mi A1 and RN4, I read that better choice would be Mi A1 right? Though battery capacity is smaller.

Thanks in advance for any inputs

Stock Android vs MIUI.

Stock is always better.
