It's the same phone, so every ROM will work.
But do yourself a favor and buy the phone with 32GB internal storage.

none have it afaik but you are free to recompile the kernel and modify the firmware
Try your best to get the 4gb Ram/64gb Snapdragon global variant.
I got mine off AliExpress.
I use AOSP extended (pie/9) with Englezos kernel.
Brilliant experience thus far.
both definelty same XD

Hello, guys.
Did you manage to find any custom ROM that is not GSI? Do you know why there is no Custom ROM for this specific model? It seems strange to me.

Porting a custom ROM from Redmi 6 pro?

Hi everybody
As I know Redmi 6 pro have the same chipset as Redmi Note 4X (both using Snapdragon 625)
and these two phones share a number of other hardware similarities.
Has anyone ever tried to port a custom ROM from Redmi 6 pro?
Android 9 MIUI 11 ?

Android 9 - MIUI 12
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...-mi-globe-12-0-1-x-pcfmixm-t4098557m-t4098557
You will probably also find MIUI 11 somewhere in the development section

Thanks for your reply.
But I mean porting a stable MIUI ROM which can be used as the daily driver.

Why do you think that the ROM I posted wasn't stable?
Read the last few pages of the thread and you will see that people don't have any problems

I've used that rom for 2 days ....
it has some bugs and sometimes was laggy whitout any app installed!
I'm not arguing about that rom and have nothing to do with it.
I'm asking about a ported ROM from Redmi 6 pro and I explained why.

Note 9s IS already the codename for global version.
Only in India it is called "Note 9 Pro".
The global Note 9 Pro has Codename "Joyeuse".
That is nearly identical with the Indian "Note 9 Pro Max", which has codename "Excalibur" ?

Thanx a lot. That means that I can flash it on my curtana
Do Miatoll roms need twrp-unified-mauronofrio custom recovery to flash? or I can flash them with any custom recoveries like pitchblack
I mean, is the miatoll device tree embedded in the rom file or need an especiall custom recovery like that I said ?
No need of any special custom recovery u can use pitchblack recovery
Miatoll is the codename of unified branches of Curtana, Joyeuse, Excalibur and Gram.
It means any ROMS and recovery for "Miatoll" should work across the four devices under it.
One curious query
Does it apply to poco m2 pro as well?

I already know that. but it looks like miui 12 is doing all the work for poco m2 pro. Nowadays other custom roms doesn't require much attention specially in the case of mi device. You see the developers eventually leaves the project.

I agree with u that miui 12 hv all things..but i think Devs are not leaving they are working on Android 11
To make it also MIATOLL from the start.. bcoz our device is probably going get the android 11 update from the 1st quarter of 2021 officially..

Anex cam is giving me doubts regarding quality and all, and the gapps support is also questionable. As most devs recommend pico gapps while myself personally think aroma is a better option than that. That way we can choose for ourselves. But those things are preincluded in miui roms which is beneficial for a certain amount of time. And to be honest miui is packing most of the customisations in it that substratum, rr and others do. It's getting even better. And more stable than custom roms. As they are official and guarantees all features and optimisations.
Does it also apply to the Redmi Note 9? I indeed see it listed for PixelExperience as 9S, 9 Pro, Pro Max and POCO M2 Pro. But not specifically for the 9.
Can anyone confirm?
Edit: I already got an answer in the PE chat. It is a whole different device.
miatoll = curtana + excalibur + joyeuse + gram

Not all.
Merlin is Redmi Note 9 and it is not "miatoll".
Merlin, does NOT shares the same kernel with Curtana, Joyeuse, Excalibur and Gram.
It shares the same kernel of Redmi 10X 4G, Redmi 9 and Redmi POCO M2.

Lol Dude... Did you see i have mentioned "merlin" or standard Redmi Note 9 somewhere?
This thread is for the Pro and S models with Snapdragon devices. The standard note 9 doesn't have a Snapdragon and doesn't even belongs here. That will confuse people only.

Dude just be quiet. This isn't the thread for "Merlin"! That's why I named all the device which I meant. Everybody got it except you!
Also I'm not interested to discuss with smart alecks.

This confused me too... Curtana would be any device RN9s (global?) / RN9 Pro (indian?), correct?
... What devices are these: Excalibur, Joyeuse, Gram?
My device is the RN9s (global?)... I should use the procedures for the Curtana or Miatoll (all/anyone), correct?
Xiaomi POCO M2 Pro / Redmi Note 9S / Redmi Note 9 Pro / Redmi Note 9 Pro Max are miatoll. The procedure is the same for all these devices:
