Lets keep this simple and clean
I am sharing our rom with you. This rom is based on CM and still in alpha stage. The rom will develope with time and get back to what it was in Kitkat times.
I own this device and I am personally running this build aswell, but dont blame me, if something wents wrong.
I came back with our rom, because I love android and you and I also need something to train my programming skills. Who am I ? -> Informatics student working at a telecommunication company from germany. Feel free to hit me up on hangouts to chat.

I visited the g+ community but didn't found any sceenshots... ?
P.S why the download link don't lead to afh instead of the post in your g+ community?
Also i think that it's against the rules of XDA's.

Can you elaborate by what you mean by what it was in kitkat times. What features do you have, and what features are specifically kitkat times? What is different between this and the Purity Rom I'm using?
If you are calling this Vanilla, then why are you using CM which is already highly modified/customized/changed? I can clearly tell when I'm using a CM based rom, it's got a signature smoothness, but slowness to it, I haven't used a CM based rom yet that has the snap and speed of an AOSP based rom like AOSiP, which is what comes to my mind when I think of Vanilla.

I had this happen to me on AOKP when it first came out. No fun at all.
This is a request if someone can make a minimalistic rom, preferably for the SNapdragon version (both would be even better)
This rom preberaly runs on a custom kernel tweaked to have less logging and a minimalistic approach.
It should have only the minimal software needed for the hardware to function, the rest could be an optional flash package where one could choose what they need, this will not only help run the phone cool and smooth but also improve the spectacular battery life.
this rom if built on the global beta could have root built in , since bootloader would be unlocked to flash this rom.
Thoughts anyone ?
Nice idea! I also have the feeling MIUI is too bloated and that too many unnecessary services are active. I hope someone would consider this idea and if someone misses any functions, they should be able to flash a zip file or select the functions via an AROMA installer when you first install the rom.

Wish you luck, unlocking the bootloader officialy is indeed quite the hassle. Hope they fix the problems with mi flash unlock tool some day. I'll try to help you out when I can unlock the bootloader as well.
I also would like to see some slim version, especially one that doesn't consume too much ram.
The lightest edition I've found until now are the xiaomi.eu roms (around 620MB zip).

thanks for that , it seems the xiaomi.eu roms are based on the latest CHina beta with all the chinese stuff removed, waiting for my bootloader to be unlocked. this seems like the best bet to use on the phone.

Hi to everybody
I am new with Nexus 9 so i need a little bit of help choosing the best Rom for me and maybe for someone else.
I tried the Remix OS but i find it a lot different from the desktop version so it is not for me. I need a stable with minimum to no freezes close to stock with minimum mods and maybe to be compatible with elementalx kernel. I found that if i flash a kernel with not compatible rom the camera doesn't work properly.
So i would appreciate any suggestions
Thank you
Resurrection Remix: For customisation and mods to your exact specification, with good performance, and OK battery if you use the Privacy Guard to control certain apps.
Pure Nexus: For the solid Nexus feeling. Although somewhat Pixel based now, absolutely solid in every regard with quite a lot of customisation.
Slim ROM 7: More of minimal, fluid, AOSP ROM with a small amount of mods.
CM14/Lineage OS: A purer form of what Resurrection Remix is based on, closer to AOSP with an acceptable amount of mods.
AOSP based ROMs are also an option, but you could also run stock and unencrypt it for slightly better performance.
I've tried a huge amount of ROMs on this, but since nougat, Ressurection Remix was the first ROM that had impressive performance, but I haven't been on that for quite some time. I recently switched to Pure Nexus and would definitely recommend it. Absolutely no issue for me so far.

Then you can boot to TWRP, Wipe, Format Data and reboot. Or manually wipe everything but system. SuperSU disables forceEncrypt when you flash it, so your new data won't be encrypted. For future reference, when you first flash a custom ROM, you can flash a kernel that has forceEncrypt disabled before your first boot or just flash SuperSU to prevent it. In NexusRoot Toolkit, you can even install your factory images with the stock kernel and forceEncrypt disabled as one of the options.

So if i do a twrp backup and move it to the pc, after follow your guide to disable forceEncrypt i can restore my back up and everything will be like before? Is it possible? And if it is which partitions it will be ok to backup so i can restore the after. Sorry for all this questions but i am new with the Nexus 9 even if i have all HTC devices.

I would recommend that you move your files manually and backup your apps with an app such as Titanium Backup. This could prevent you from restoring any potentially encrypted data . Personally, I wouldn't restore any partitions but if you had to, it would be data. But it could be worth a try, although I'd definitely suggest you just back up the necessary apps on titanium backup instead.

Not a dump question at all. Easiest way would be to go into security settings and if there's an option to 'Encrypt device', then you're not encrypted.

It did quite some time ago. When it was first released, I preferred it to Remix OS, but since then Remix OS has gotten much better. But I couldn't imagine sticking with either seeing as the Nexus 9 isn't particularly good at multitasking to begin with, mostly due to the CPU, but also the 2GB of RAM. But I'd recommend you try as many options as you can and see what suits you.

Heyyo, tbh I'd avoid custom EUI ROMs as at least some seem to be causing the camera autofocus issues for any non-EUI ROM. It definitely seems from other posts that cuco92's EUI ROM is one of them.
I'd recommend Andr68rus's builds of Dark Unicorns or OmniROM. They're stable and work fantastic and are on latest Nougat where-as EUI based ROMs are stuck on Marshmallow.
For Marshmallow ROMs? AOKP MM by Andr68rus is really good or Mokee ROM 60.1 Historical probably has the best battery life without constantly wiping your recent apps like where-as EUI overkills.

If you want app drawer for the launcher you can get launcher3.apk from other Tora33 rom (Le Pro3 rom) and replace it in the rom zip file (unzip and re-zip).

Nice!!! is nice to see roms for this device other than the ones that are here.
For the OP, i'm on the second day of use of this rom and this is BY FAR the best rom i've tried. The phone does not overheat, even with the screen at 100% all the time, best battery life, smooth as hell like Lineage 13 and goes well with nova launcher. The defaukt launcher is **** for me but you can change it for the one thay you like.
I will backup this rom and try the above,
I'm trying to know how can we install the original meizu recovery or how can we update the phone from OTA with 40 mb packages instead the 1.4 GB that comes daily ivee the air.

For ages I have tried to avoid rooting my phone, mainly due to Google Pay. But with the constant issues and also now that I've just purchased bPay for my watch anyway, I no longer need Google Pay.
Even though my phone is not rooted, most apps thought it was.. so even the fixes only worked so far.. so screw it. haha.
I would like to root my phone and try and make my Xiaomi as close to vanilla Android as possible. What roms would people suggest?
Is the Xiaomi a wise phone to modify? Will I loose any features (camera etc)?
I have only really ever used OnePlus One devices, and other phones I have always relied on Google Pay access, so its been awhile since I rooted a phone and I have a feeling things may have changed a fair bit.. maybe even become more simple?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
My device; Mi 8 128GB, chinese import. Arrived with unlocked bootloader and global rom.. somehow.. even though global wasnt available at the time.. have since has xiaomi.eu rom, most recent on the device. But im finding its waaay to buggy and im very eager to get rid of this.
try pixel experience
stock experience like the pixel 3 xl
almost the same camera if not better
great battery life stable and way smoother than miui 10
I was In a similar predicament
I went for havoc and find its fantastic
Similar to pixel experience but with more added features
Has gcam implemented already

pixel experience rom has everything that a pixel phone has including the amazing gcam
Use syberia! aosp based like all but best battery so far
You can try pixel experience, I'm using it for a while now and never thought of changing to another rom. This will be my permanent rom I guess. Pixel3ROM is also nice, but it's just a port so the dev heavily refuses to add compatibility features like IR camera support for face unlock etc. So main features of the device won't work kn that one.
LineageOS is just another option, but it feels so empty compared to Pixel Experience. Yes, it can be customized but it'll never get the capabilities of Pixel Experience, due to official Rom policies of LOS.
And another thing, my device is rooted and I'm using PE, and Google Pay is working.

About camera, it hss a Google Camera port that I can't really remember the name of dev, and you can flash the miui camera port from Magisk if you need that either.
If you have any questions about this rom, I'd love to answer them, I can consider myself as an experienced user of it I guess. I used miui for 2 weeks thanks to bootloader unlock timer, and believe me, when you switch, you will feel like tons of weight just pulled out of your shoulders.
Thanks everyone this is all really helpful to know. Sounds like Pixel Experience is the one to try first.

This is really handy to know. I was thinking today that maybe rooting etc my phone myself properly would give me better control over getting that set up to work properly.
One more thing, just checking over the instructions and a little lost on some bits;
Flash Instructions
1. Download ROM zip.
2 . Advanced Wipe: System, Data, Cache and Dalvik/cache - Already have TWRP from installing Xiaomi.eu rom.
3. Flash latest MIUI or Xiaomi.eu beta. - This step confuses me.. if I already have a xiaomi.eu rom installed, I presume I would skip this?
4. Flash Pixel Experience.
5. Flash Dm-verity and reboot into TWRP (Only if you're coming from MIUI stock. Skip that if you're coming from another custom ROM) - Guessing again, I would skip this as I am already on TWRP? Unsure what dm-verity is..
6. Advanced Wipe: Data
7. Reboot & enjoy.
Some background on the current config phone wise. Imported a Mi 8 before it was released globally, nor even a date was released at that point. The phone arrived with global rom I believe.. the bootloader was already unlocked however and it was in English, so I am unsure how they had the global rom on it.. unless was the chinese one in English? Eitherway. I just followed the usual guide to flashing Xiaomi.eu on the phone. TWRP was already on it, but it is a chinese version, in english, but with chinese text on the loading screen.. unsure if normal?
Thanks again!

Thanks everyone this is all really helpful to know. Sounds like Pixel Experience is the one to try first.
This is really handy to know. I was thinking today that maybe rooting etc my phone myself properly would give me better control over getting that set up to work properly.
One more thing, just checking over the instructions and a little lost on some bits;
Flash Instructions

You can't skip the 3rd step since you're wiping the system partition, vendor and/or firmware files will be gone, which are not included with the rom.
At 5th, https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389 After flashing this, reboot to recovery in order to do advanced wipe. Just follow the steps, don't be lazy!
Not sure about your phone, but there are a high chance of being a Chinese variant of your phone, check the rear glass for CE certificate logo, if there are any chinese text, your phone is a chinese variant. In this situation, be careful to not lock your bootloader.

Thanks this is really helpful.
When I got the phone there was a sticker on the back which was in Chinese, all the packaging was too. The text printed on the phones actual case is in English however.
Update: All done and all was a success. Thanks everyone!
Tried Pixel Experience - battery drain was so extreme had to flash another rom..
So now trying Havoc.. way too many bugs, no sound on alarms, phone stops responding to touch.. ergh. Battery is good though.. haha.
Looking like there may not be any rom which isnt free of bugs or battery drain on the Mi 8..
Sadly Google Pay, with Magisk and hide, does not work on any rom. Altho I managed to get another banking app to work by using Magisk hide ironically.

Yes, all great. Battery is fine, alarm works, no more freezing. Finally all running smoothly
+1 that. Everything works perfect for me on AOSIP and I've been using it as my daily driver for a week now.
I just replaced the default phone, contact and messaging apps with the Google ones with App systemizer and magisk, and replaced the stock cam with latest Gcam.
Recommend this rom :good:

Do you have a link to the latest GCam? I tried to find it though the one i installed Video didn't work. Just crashed when attempted. Photos looked good though.
LineageOS

You can try pixel experience, I'm using it for a while now and never thought of changing to another rom. This will be my permanent rom I guess. Pixel3ROM is also nice, but it's just a port so the dev heavily refuses to add compatibility features like IR camera support for face unlock etc. So main features of the device won't work kn that one.
LineageOS is just another option, but it feels so empty compared to Pixel Experience. Yes, it can be customized but it'll never get the capabilities of Pixel Experience, due to official Rom policies of LOS.
And another thing, my device is rooted and I'm using PE, and Google Pay is working.

Not everything.

About camera, it hss a Google Camera port that I can't really remember the name of dev, and you can flash the miui camera port from Magisk if you need that either.
If you have any questions about this rom, I'd love to answer them, I can consider myself as an experienced user of it I guess. I used miui for 2 weeks thanks to bootloader unlock timer, and believe me, when you switch, you will feel like tons of weight just pulled out of your shoulders.

Here you go bro. Add the .xml to the Gcam settings folder.
