laugh.gif thought you were gonna wait for global Dev like me

How's China Dev rom? Is it usable for someone who doesn't know the language? Hands kinda itchy
*
yes at the first place, but patient no more biggrin.gif

china rom still have language option on first boot up. So I select English, use as normal. But floated with many china bloatware which I hate, and no play store. MIUI forum have tutorial how to install Google play services, pretty easy.

now everyday counting, how many hours left to wait....

Custom rom. I am not a miui fan. But i like xiaomi good (and cheap) hardware.

Now using aex. Not bad for a custom rom.

AEX rom. Link as above. You might need to flash bootloader.zip from LOS if you get error 7.

yup had to fastboot flash official rom to recover the phone  sad.gif

do you know how to deal with the password thing? tried following the guide but unsuccessful or if you have a custom recovery that doesnt need password please share a link
*
backup your important data. because of encryption I believe, not TWRP caused. you need to format data.

Ya, I think any Android device needs 4GB RAM if itโ€™s not on pure Android to be safe smile.gif

with Android OS GO edition, even 512MB-1GB ram are workable. Alcatel, Nokia, Huawei are on board with this program, maybe more brand will join for entry level.

good to have xiaomi, 4GB/64GB still good price smile.gif

Looking to flash a stock Android rom into this redmi 5+, do u guys have any recommendations? ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
*
my recommendation for stock, for LOS based is CrDroid, for AOSP is AEX. hybrid from both with tons of feature pack, go for RR.

looked for custom roms and kinda surprised that theres only one or two official ones on xda. really hope it gains traction like the rn3 and rn4

even my previous opo has plenty of oreo roms  ohmy.gif
*
although I'm coming from my old nexus oreo to R5+ nougat, patiently wait for more stable Oreo. once kernel source code release, will be more fun.
