Hi all.
Are there features you miss in custom ROMs that you maybe know from EMUI stock ROM or from other devices?
I started the thread because I hope our hard working devs are reading this and maybe can add single features and make people (like me) happy.
Ok, I start:
Known from Honor 5x EMUI:
Flip case mode
Pocket mode
Wanna have:
Lock screen message with multiple rows instead of running text
Fingerprint quick actions
I know there is an app for it but a feature is sweeter whenever it integrated into the software natively !
And also in hotspot v have option to set the limit for connected users and also block users separately in emui.And in custom ROM I have only timeout option....!
Biggest for me is volte
I'm now using LineageOS, which is nice, stable enough for daily.
But I'm curious about all other roms, what are the differences?
I think miui.eu is the closest to stock miui (it's a stock without ads), still contain a lot of mi-malware.
LineageOS is quite close to AOSP, but what about all the AOiSP, PixelEx, Arrow, RR, Nitro, Dot?
What are the major "selling points" of these roms?
From what I read RR is the most ...take them all... rom, that take every mod possible, but I never know about the other.
On personal level I would either prefer Lineage OS or Pixel Experience,bcoz LOS provides a lot of cool features for near stock like experience and PixEx bcoz I love pixels software experience
Well for the moment in my personal opinion i tried all rom's: went back to miui 9 or 10 beta
Installing aosp based custom roms feels like a visual downgrade for me (even the pixel one) its also full of bugs at the moment and its not as near as responsive / smooth like miui sorry
For now, using EU based MI-Globe Rom 8.10.18. Battery life is not great. Rom needs debloating.
Not using poco as daily driver.
Well it depends on user to user some prefer simple UI with good battery life and some prefer customisation with good performance personally I prefer performance over battery life and nothing comes close to stock as of now because most ROMs available for our device are not built from our device trees.

As far as I know, never tried myself, Pixel Ex contains more google apps (and pixel specific apps) than other rom, right?
Have you tried Arrow or Dot or RR.
What are the differences among them?

I'm a RR fanboy from LP days so I can tell you a bit about it. In summary, RR contains almost all customisations from every ROM available in a single package.
But then again, why doesn't everyone use RR? Because not everybody likes a plethora of options, and not everybody needs them.
Try Lineage first with pico gapps. Then, download the add-ons you need from the playstore. When you reach a stable enough condition for your daily use, re-evaluate your needs. If you think you're comfortable with not getting 10+ options of customisation on Status bar clock and happy with what you have, then you've met your match.
Otherwise, hop on mate!

Does the Mi-globe rom have the volume button for Media per default or it's Ringing per default ? So when you are on homescreen when you push a volume button does it change the Media volume or Ringing/notification volume ?
Because on Global it's Media but on Xiaomi.eu it's Ringing..
miui globe rom is the most customizable rom like miui stock rom. Practically you assemble and config the rom of your own way in the globesite. Battery, speed and weekly update whitin rom. to use a different rom of the miui´s on a xiomi is not using the whole potential of the hardware....
Any cusrom with IR cam work? (Except miui based rom ofc)

Actually, I'm quite happy with LOS without add-on.
But I'm also curious with outher roms, how much more customisation I could get out of them.
It all boils down to your preference. each rom has its own implementation of things/features which in my opinion is great since android enthusiasts can choose a rom that fits one's preference.

Is there any bloatware in globe, has it all been removed?
I tried almost all roms myself and in the end setteld with miui eu rom. This means a lot for me since I always flashed aosp rom onto my phone and used Nexus 5X prior to Pocophone.
Miui 10 is actually quite nice looking. And after debloating it runs fine.
To be honest, today you can swap most apps to a different ones you prefer. I personally installed Google Dialer, Contacts, Messaging, Photos, Calendar, Claculator, Notes and uninstalled all build in miui apps. Installed Google Sans font.
Because of this everyday usage is quite close to stock android, with exception of settings and few ui elements.
I personally would love to see good stock android theme for miui 10. I tried few but none of them look very good.

Title says it all, I hate the bubble toggles that take up the entire screen and require multiple taps. I'm familiar with rooting, and flashing just curious what ROMs are available to help fix this. Thank you in advance!
To the best of my recollection, none as the UI elements are baked into the source code. To go back to the Android 11 UI I think you would need to use an Android 11 ROM, none of which exist for the P6.
Aosp mods does but u lose icon name. It's great to have circle icons again
Use Nova launcher and you can change the look of a lot of the elements. No root needed.

Except Nova Launcher doesn't work for the toggles in the notification shade, which is what I believe the OP was looking to change.

The UI involves more than just the notification shade, which wasn't mentioned. Could have been more specific.
Hope you find a solution.

Well, the OP did mention bubble toggles in his opening post. Agreed that being more specific would have helped. Thank you for the reminder about what kind of work it takes to mod the UI, as I haven't done it in years, especially with Substratum making it painless.
why couldn't someone build android 11 for the pixel 6? any reason it not possible?
I guess the OP is talking about the ugly quick settings with large tiles that take up space and requires multiple clicks to adjust internet and other settings.
The product design of software is the worst I have seen.
Nova launcher cannot alter the quick settings.

So long as it doesn't use the cancer that is Xposed it meets with my approval.
TBH I don't have a major issue with the Android 12 toggles except for the behavior of the connection toggles, and I already fixed that with Better Internet Tiles so there you go.
This module has a ton of options for the UI. I used it for a while and it seemed fine but I haven't reinstalled it because I didn't really want the added bloat to change one thing (wifi and mobile data toggles).

Following as its the main reason I do not use my pixel 6 and its gathering dust.
The wasted space for notifications is just too much....I find it hard to believe a human being that actually uses the phone approved this. It's some next level mental degeneracy! lol

Well since I use the notification shade as designed - connection toggles excepted - my mind must be going.
Hi there! I'm looking for a custom rom that has the following:
- Android 11 or less (Android 12 is very heavy ) - ( I was using LOS 19.1 by zeelog with A12 and the truth is that the phone suffered a lot with certain apps. Android 12 is definitely not for this phone).
- A good "one handed mode" like original miui rom.
- Stable and smooth and without many bugs. That the features of this phone work without problems. (fingerprint, led notifications, etc)
- Something customizable
- Some built-in tool like closing applications with security (fingerprint, password)
I was looking through the CR "resurrection remix" had some of these features but nowhere did I find if it had "one handed mode".
ArrowOs is another CR that generates me doubt, but I do not know if it is very stable and if it has some features that I need especially the "one handed mode".
I discarded MIUI custom roms because the last one I had (original) was being too slow, I do not want to imagine a more updated CR.

You're absolutely right, Android 12 is too much that mido can handle. Pick A11 or A10.
My all-time favourite custom rom is crDroid - very long time in the market, good opinion. Smooth, stable and customizable. Unfortuanetly I don't think you will find any rom with MIUI-like one-handed mode. There was an Xposed module mimicking this behaviour (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.zhougy0717.xposed.niwatori&hl=en_US&gl=US) but it's long gone I think

Exactly that custom rom I was trying to install now, it feels smooth but I miss the fact that it even has a one-handed mode. Thanks for the recommendation!

Yes, but it's obsolete and Im not sure on which Android version it was working fine... But there are some nice alternatives to one-handed mode which doesn't require root. Have you tried something like this perhaps?

Makes it easier to use large smartphones with one hand by using a cursor.

amazing recommendation! thanks you
I installed the first app, also the xposed module to make it work and it worked only when I opened the app, then when I exited the app it didn't work anymore, I don't know what I've been doing wrong (I'm a newbie) or if the app really doesn't work well for android 11.
But the second application can replace although it is not the same obviously, but to get out of the way serves.

Nice, I'm glad you like it. Sometimes it's even better than one handed mode since you can reach everything while still keeping big screen. I use something similar but root-based, although I'm on MIUI and still have one handed mode

The tablet received a major update the day before yesterday. It was 4.0 GB in size, bumped Android version from 11 to 12. Otherwise there were almost no good changes.
Changes I noticed:
Android Version 11 > 12
like on the phones no dark mode settings for individual apps
Material You support (but also like on phones no settings)
Security patch to October 2022
Launcher:
appicons change their positions during the update
grid is no longer adjustable & changes automatically (!) after display rotation (4x6, 6x4), therefore the icons also move
there is a large margin to the left and to the right, both orientations
many app names must be abbreviated with "..."
the new widgets are finally here, BUT this restricts all other widgets in size & position (There may be gaps that are large enough but can only be filled with apps)
Notifications and Control Center:
background Blur for notifications and quick settings: "simple-blur" > "real-glass-blur"
the notifications are displayed in a smaller space in landscape (like phone in portrait)
thus also more abbreviations than before
the control center has been updated and now looks more like (a fake of) iOS
One thing is striking: some things that were previously adapted to the display size are now more optimized for phones. This can be seen from the fact that, for example, the notifications are only in the middle of the screen and look more like a "portrait on landscape". As a result, the content no longer fits in completely and is abbreviated to "..." for most notifications. Something similar can also be observed in the launcher: The icons always have a large distance to the edge, they are so close together that the app names have to be abbreviated with "...".
Would it be possible that the base of the ROM was changed to that of the phones? I don't know how to check that, but I think in this case it would be possible to release the xiaomi.eu ROM for the tablet.
So don't update yet right? My Pro wifi version still stuck on 13.0.10.
I would ditch MIUI altogether if you're on the Elish (WiFi only) model.
I'm using Arrow OS (A12) and this is just 100x more smooth than the stock MIUI ROMs.
It BAFFLES me that this is the case.... team that makes the device should be able to optimise it as much as possible, yet some random built ROM from source is far superior. Sheer incompetence....
There's a Telegram group if anyone is interested.

I would say it's a matter of getting used to it. After a few weeks I no longer noticed the disadvantages. On the contrary, I'm happy about (the reintroduced) real glass blur and Material You support (especially Gboard).
The fact that the app icons in the launcher always switch between 6x4 and 4x6 (screenshot attached) is also the case with the new 12.5 tablet. If you want a pen/keyboard and up-to-date security patches, there is no way around it.
Unfortunately, I discovered something else (Does not have to be related to the update): if you leave Firefox, just to answer a message, for example, everything is reloaded. Means when I read an article I end up at the beginning, when I pause at a film I'm back at the beginning, if I want to add a photo to this post I need 5+ tries because the page will refresh in the time of choosing... Unfortunately, adding a lock to the app in the app overview does not change anything.

Regular tablet mode, but I would expect that means your hardware should work as you expect. End of the day, you could easily flash back to stock.
