Nokia N1 vs Xiaomi MiPad - Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers

Silly question....
I'm undecided between the xiaomi mipad and the Nokia n1
.... I notice that there isn't any support on XDA for both tablets making my purchase decision difficult.
What's your take on this, im on the look for a 4:3 aspect ratio and 7.4 inch ish tablet size,should I look somewhere else other then those? Thanx

ive no personal experience with the N1, but i can say that ive really enjoyed my mipad. im impressed with the build quality.
i run the latest "global" miui rom rooted.
also xiaomi is expected to release the source code before to much longer.. which means 3rd party roms would be quick to follow.

What do u mean with GLOBAL ?

i bought mine from china (i live in the US) it came with a version of miui that had several Chinese apps that looked to do similar stuff to google.. and it didnt have any google apps. once i swapped to the global version of miui i really liked the tablet.
from miui.com you can download 3 roms
mipad china:
-developer
-stable
mipad global:
-stable
if you install cwm you can easily root any of them, if you stick with original recovery you can only root the developer.
also there are several developers in russia and india that are just waiting for source code to drop. and its expected to happen fairly soon (assuming mipad follows the general path of other xiaomi products)

Xiaomi seem taking their sweet time lol,is already one year old if I'm correct.
What is the path that usually they use for their phones regarding the code?

Xiaomi is usually hesitant to release the code, sometimes due to too much pressure created they may release all at once as happened in the beginning of this year with mi 3, mi 4, redmi note all code being released, except Mi Pad.
Lets hope Xiaomi releases it soon so that Lag Free Roms can be developed for this beastly device!

OnePlus FP driver

Back a few months ago, OnePlus promised to release the FP driver to the community to help out developers, what is happening ?
They are making the sensor work with the marschmallow API. So it will be supported in custom roms. They will never release the sources.

Too bad, because the FP sensor is also not made by OnePlus. So they just can't release any sources. The only hope we have is that someone back-engineers it...

So NO other phone used the same FP sensor that we might be capable of using the same driver?
I have serious doubts about this whole situation tbh

the whole FP thing was the reason I stayed on oxygenOS for a good while, which I regret, once I switched to custom rom I was so much happier even without the FP. Now that was finally got android 6 roms hopefully we get FP soon.
In marshmallow it will work a lot better, in h2os beta works awesome, its toooooo fast!

That's because Google is kind of banned in China? and they don't want to use their API? Nah.. I don't think so. is it? okay I'm stupid.

Unlikely but wishful hoping you're reasoning is true. We all want OnePlus to use the standard API so that the device can be maintained easily by custom rom developers and groups.
This will expand the lifespan of the device and make people support and keep buying OnePlus devices.
You hear this ONEPLUS?

So, does anyone think development for this phone is dead or will be see a surge in dev support when source/MM oxygen is build is released?
I bought this phone and feeling kinda ripped of on the dev side of things.

H2OS MM Beta Sign Up

Chinese thread: http://www.oneplusbbs.com/thread-1066579-1-1.html
Sign up link: http://f.sojump.cn/jq/7030725.aspx
Basic summary:
OnePlus has been founded in December 2013, and it 2014 they’ve released their first smartphone, the OnePlus One. That handset has been regarded as one of the bets smartphones in 2014, and OnePlus gained quite a bit of credibility. Now, the OnePlus One has shipped with Cyanogen OS out of the box, but along the way, OnePlus and Cyanogen decided to terminate their partnership, and OnePlus opted to develop their very own Android-based OS, read on.
This China-based company has actually developed two OS’, one for the international market, and one for Chinese users. The international OS is named Oxygen OS, and the Chinese variant is called Hydrogen OS. OnePlus has rolled out Hydrogen OS back in May last year, and has also introduced its beta program at the same time. Those of you who are using Hydrogen OS have probably been wondering when will OnePlus release the Android 6.0 Marshmallow-based variant of it, well, according to the information we have, really soon.
OnePlus has kicked off Android 6.0 Marshmallow Hydrogen OS beta testing phase, and is looking for beta testers. The conditions are rather simple, you need to spend quite a bit of time on your handset and basically, test out the phone. You’ll be getting bi-weekly updates, so you should be prepared for that as well. If you live in China, you can apply to be OnePlus’ Hydrogen OS beta tester, and you’ll find more information in the source link down below. Unfortunately Anzhuo hasn’t sourced this info, but they did put a screenshot of Hydrogen OS’ official Weibo (Chinese social network) page in their article, which confirms their information.
Now, if our translation is accurate, the OnePlus 2 is the only handset model you’ll be able to test Hydrogen OS on, but OnePlus One and OnePlus X will get the update later on, when it becomes official. That is more or less it, we still don’t have any info when it comes to the changelog in Android 6.0 Marshmallow-powered Hydrogen OS, but as soon as OnePlus releases more information, we’ll make sure to let you know.

Here but not qualified for the requirement of closed beta
It requires, according to the thread:
1. Love H2OS
2. Browse 1+ forum no less than 30 hour weekly
3. Love to flash rom, and can flash twice a week
4. Preferably experienced testers and had done reviews before
Btw, as this is a closed beta, a 200 of testers are required not to spread the beta ROM
Try signing up.
I'm not eligible.

Since they are moving to marshmallow api for FP, who knows if the leak will be able to help our CM/AOSP development while us waiting for official oxygen/source code
Pretty much most phones have their software leaked like Sammy, HTC and such. Cmon OnePlus.

I can guarantee you more than 200 copies are out there, that is all I can really say.
Some of us, people who have it, developers here on XDA will not leak it however - and there are very good reasons for us to not do so, we are entitled with trust from OP to keep it private and if it were that we'd be not doing so - it could harm our relationship between the user base and OP, discouraging OP from partaking in such events in the future.
"This is why we can't have nice things", we don't want to take a path that could lead to that, just trust the testers to flesh the ROM put first.
Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk
Just to clarify, if I was one of the lucky testers I wouldn't leak it, just saying that anything like this always gets leaked.

It probably wouldn't help out much anyway since it would be binaries only...

Good thing to remember,
Closed beta leaks are not allowed on XDA.

Will the RN3 get support from devs for more custom roms?

So...
I currently have a Nexus 5 and I am was very close to buying the RN3. Now see the Nexus 5 provides stable pure android which I love so I dont need to flash custom roms on it. However I recently did that just to be able to get Android N. I've enjoyed my experience with custom roms so far. I'm using CM14 and I do like it even though it does seem just a little unstable and having a few bugs here and there.
I decided to upgrade to the RN3 because of the pure battery life offered by the N5 these days. I had decided that I would flash CM on top of it as soon as possible because I hate anything other than vanilla android. Now however, CM is dead. I have already done my fair bit of research to know that they are moving to Lineage now. I also read that the popular phones won't really be affected. However the RN3 isn't very popular. At least that's the idea in my head.
The point of this post is Will the RN3 receive the support popular phones would? Will I be able to have the latest and greatest in Android?
That is the one question which will affect my decision on whether to go for it or not. I think I need to make a decision by late this week on this so yeah..
Can any devs say that they plan on working on the RN3?
Is the RN3 as popular as the N5 was for the sake of development and stuff?
I plan on supporting the RN3 once I purchase one. However, I don't think it'll receive the large array of ROMs Nexus 5 has, but I think it'll get plenty of ROMs all the same.

I have unlocked bootloader officially, tried most of the N roms available. As they are not quite stable as of now, using Xiaomi EU rom. It is debloated version of Miui based on China dev rom with weekly updates. Very Stable

I m using Aokp from 10 days with various custom kernel. Stable and fast. Only bug is the instable camera (using google camera apk mitigate it).
RN3 has miui roms, cm based roms and good development. Definitely it will be worth purchasing. Android file host shows 3to4 roms for RN3 daily.
Need some other roms except CM based.
If any devs port Color OS, Cool Ui, EMUI Etc...
It will be great.

MIUI Beta is shutting down

Directly from XDA
"As more Mi Phone models got introduced to the market, more users started using MIUI Beta through different channels," Xiaomi wrote in a post on the official Mi Community forum. "However, MIUI Beta is made for public testing and requires the user to have a very high tolerance for bugs and faults. [...] Our team of engineers has decided to stop releasing the global version of MIUI Beta for all devices starting July 1st, 2019."
https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-ending-miui-global-beta-all-smartphones-july/
Nope...you got it wrong... It's not shutting Down completely, they'll be shutting down the global release meaning it'll be closed beta from that time on !!! Only closed beta participants will be getting it!!!

So, what to replace the Global Beta with ?
I mean the beta has a good bug fix, regarding the icons in the status bar (won't disappear very quickly, replaced with the clock).
So, MIUI EU ? I wish to stay boobloader locked as much as possible.

And it does not seem any rom is exciting enough for the effort lol.
I may be wrong, but MIUI customs are very close to stock, and the few AOSP are too young for now?
As now xiaomi.eu has access to closed beta firmwares
9.6.13 is not even released on china developer channel
But its released on xiaomi.eu site

.eu roms are always based on beta so even if the global beta are off... Eu rom will be based on the closed beta rom...
Pixel experience is mature stable enough to use also and it has a better battery life than MIUI

Who cares about it? I'm never on Miui... Custom roms are the best.
All those caring about e. g. NFC care about. YMMV.
Cheers

It's sad that people don't understand what beta means I like MIUI it has potential and yes i liked weekly new features.
Fair enough, maintaining a lot of devices with a beta for every week for both China and Global roms costs lot of resources but with marginal improvements.
Keeps only the china Dev for testing new features and improves the Global stable to make it really stable (I usually find the global stable sometimes doesn't as stable as a global dev).
Anyway, EU rom (based on China Dev) is always better than global dev.

Come on MIUI is much more convenient in terms of features and experience
But Global beta is kinda useless. That's why I just use Chinese one. It works much better with Wechat and other useful Chinese apps

Best ROM right now?

I have been using a miui version with some bugs for months and i want a better experiencie. I don't care If It is miui or aosp.

Been using carbon rom for ages now, great standby time (minimal battery drain) and performance. The most frequently updated rom. Some users report lag in chrome browser but I don't use it for that so wouldn't know. Not sure if that's still a bug or not

CAREFUL when choosing the nikggaps type of package. At first install I've choosen "MACRO" and I got my device encrypted, dunno why. That made me unable to mount internal storage to pc.
Make sure you backup to your pc first, in case you need to full format your tablet.
Info about the packages on the official website (but only download from the ROM thread)
NikGaaps packages
Im using OMNI package since it has way less apps than Macro.
I installed Nexus Stock for Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 for my son's tablet and it works like a charm. Finally something simple and working out of the box without a hassle (and error 7 from twrp).
Was with stock for the longest time. Then Bliss came along and changed everything, now CR-droid is has really got it down to a pat. I've been with CR for 6.x , now running 7 (A.11). Really good stuff this....
