I saw that once you upgrade to 7.0 (for example v7.2.9) that bootloader will be automatically locked, and we will have to unlock it once again.
Can anyone confirm if this is true,

Bootloader cannot be locked unless its instructed by you. Flashing process doesn't have any interference with the Bootloader. Still, about my personal experience, I migrate from custom roms to MIUI 7.1.12 and back atleast twice a week. Its not the case. And given the reason neither its supposed to be. You can clear your doubts.

Yes this is my understanding too, and i myself flash constantly -
but according to xiaomi.eu page for build 7.2.9 : " RELESED Android 7.0 for MI4C, Mi4S, MIMAX, MIMAX PRO, MINote PRO
Your BOOTLOADER will be relocked after upgrade to Android 7.0 so unlock it by en.miui.com/unlock after ROM installation again!!!"

No worries, I flashed today without knowing above and my bootloader still unlocked.
After flashing gapps I get lots error messages. Otherwise no big difference in miui.
Worked ok with supersu 2.79 and twrp 3.0.2

No way! I've been looking forward to properly implemented multiwindow since I first saw Android N. That's such a shame
yep, xiaomi took android 7.0 and transformed it to MIUI 8 based on 6.0 i was hoping at least for display resolution support from 7.0 but no, you still have to edit build.prop and distort apps and icons in default theme. i don't need 6.5" screen because of 1cm fonts

It's been always Like that on MIUI, the changes come with MIUI upgrades not Android upgrades.

How to install Gcam on a rooted Mi A1?

Hi guys, ok I found many guide to install Gcam on Mi A1 without rooting. However, I have not seen any guide to install Gcam for rooted device (using Magisk) how can you install Gcam on a rooted Mi A1? I am assuming it is a lot easier than the non-root guide?
Lastly, what is the best Gcam app you have used in Mi A1?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Hi guys, just an update, I was able to install a GCam mod by just downloading the APK and running it (plus installing the Mi A1 Gcam Mod Magisk module). I was quite surprised how easy it is.

There is another way.
AOSP already released source code.
You can always build custom ROM for yourself

Latest pixel September build even boots without permissiver.zip. I flashed it yesterday and it is surprisingly usable, but fingerprint unlock doesn't seem to work. You need latest boot and vendor from flex and the latest play service apk.
