Mi A1 with stock Android

Just saw this:
Clean android from xiaomi? Is there any hope they would release stock android version for older devices?
Now they have 4 release channels:
MIUI Global Stable
MIUI Global Developer (Beta)
MIUI Chine Stable
MIUI Chine Developer (Beta)
Adding a 5th one, wouldn't be a problem. Or am I wrong?

This is an Android One product, which means the software updates will directly come from Google and NOT Xiaomi. Which is the best news for Xiaomi fans, looking at their software update routine (which is abysmal).

Incorrect. Even though it's on Android One program, the updates will be handled by Xiaomi and not Google.

For one moment, I thought I'm browsing MIUI forum. Thanks for reminding me about that cancer forum and posts.

They are probably gonna f**k stock android up with their spyware and adwares.

Is this linked with Redmi Note 3? I don't think as A1 is going to be different device with different hardware right?

I doubt they are going to do anything for devices that are a year old or older.

Just a bad news: official development and support is over for HYDROGEN and HELIUM

Official Xiaomi Announcement: http://en.miui.com/thread-5840979-1-1.html
Due to the comprehensive factors such as device release date, device activity & stability and software experience, MIUI has released the last development version of 9.2.28 on March 1, 2019, which is the last development version of Xiaomi Max and Xiaomi Max Prime. These two devices will no longer support subsequent version upgrades. At the same time, we have also prepared a stable version of the upgrade program, Mi fans can keep the development version or schedule an upgrade to the subsequent MIUI 10.3 stable version (expected to be released in April).
Upgrade devices are not supported in subsequent versions:
March 1, 2019:
Xiaomi Max, Xiaomi Max Prime
Note: You can choose to stay in the last MIUI 10 development version, or go to the system update to schedule an upgrade to MIUI 10.3 stable version.
:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

really bad, I wish we had some official development of lineage OS etc. for mi max , just checked the lineage os website did not find mi max there!!

No idea but seeing the huawei/honor updates I think EU most probably will get it.

Hopefully Xiaomi/Redmi will also release a reworked Version like for the K30 5G (MIUI V12.1.6.0) ( https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/picasso/ ) where they seem to fixed that issue? Took them a whole month (from January to February) for the K30 and they still release MIUI 12.1.x for other devices and are cripling google services. . .
Are they incrementally testing how much ****storm they will get if they really remove google services for MIUI 12.5 for all non global devices?

Xiaomi launched the Redmi K20 in India and China while the company brought the same device as Xiaomi Mi 9T in other regions like Europe. The device, irrespective of regions, came with MIUI 10 based on Android 9 Pie out of the box. Now, it has finally started getting the Android 11 update. The...

From the comments - Amadan (18 February, 2021): " I tested most of the models in a Mi Home store in China today. Basically, it seems that all China only models that don't come with Google services pre-installed no longer have access to downloading Google in the app store. They can't be downloaded on the k30 ultra, Redmi note 9 pro 5g, Redmi 10x, and Redmi k30s. I tried those today but they can on the mi10 and mi11 as they are models that are also available internationally and have been certified by Google. It seems that they didn't certify China only devices with Google "
Xiaomi blocks users from installing Google's GMS on its smartphones in China - Gizmochina
Xiaomi has its own Android-based operating system named MIUI and the company has been regularly updating it. Recently, some users of MIUI started reporting that they weren’t able to install Google Mobile Services (GMS) on their smartphones. The restrictions seem to have come after the rollout of...
www.gizmochina.com
google translated from the announcement: "Some domestic models have pre-installed the GMS service framework, and these models will not be affected. For models that do not have a GMS framework pre-installed in the system, users will no longer be specifically supported to install the GMS framework by themselves. In the future, we will add more models of GMS systems pre-installed to meet your needs."

Am i interpreting it correctly that GMS is not preinstalled in MIUI 12.1.1 so GSF is not working. They removed GMS from already sold phones by OTA updates?
They now are testing how much needs/questions arise for already sold phones?
"In the future, we will add more models of GMS systems pre-installed to meet your needs"

Been using QFJEUXM Android 9 and 10 all stock versions, absolutely never ever had or heard (go through the other threads) that Google Play Services dont work.
Also, since December, using MIUI 12.5/A11 Xiaomi eu weekly builds, with no problems (related to Google Play Services), neither me nor anyvody else reported ib rhe corresponding thread.
When stating such things, fully state the name/version of your firmware. Also, if you were playing with firmwares/ROMs (out of official stock and OTA), make sure to Factory reset
Edit:
Ok, I was talking about European and Global, not Chinese stock. Don't know if Chinese supports Google
However, Xiaomi.eu weekly and stable (I also used Xiaomi.eu Stable latest A10) are based on stock CN, and Google (Playstore, Play Services, apps) work out of the box

Exact Version name for Redmi K20 (CN) where it happend to me is
MIUI V12.1.1.0.RFJCNXM
It is a stock rom (china non global) without ever done any modding. So no unlocked bootloader or root available or other non stock rom installed.
Previous stock rom was i think MIUI V12.0.6.0.QFJCNXM with Android 10 which got OTA upgraded. At least up to the Android 10 (non global) Version it had functioning google services included which could be used after installing google play store.
Seems like it happend to other non global stock devices too while upgrading from Android 10 to Android 11 to a MIUI 12.1.x version
Here a thread about the CC9 Pro MIUI 12.1.3
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/kzd2f5
custom rom Xiaomi.eu seems to insert GAPPS even if they are not included in the rom
"Moreover, Chinese MIUI beta builds don’t really include any Google apps and services which the guys at Xiaomi.eu take care of as well"
MIUI 12.5 Xiaomi.eu update released for many Mi, Redmi & Poco devices
The MIUI 12.5 beta 21.3.3 update is now out and about for a bunch of global devices already, thanks to Xiaomi.eu community builds.
piunikaweb.com

Oops, interesting, I was not aware of (the very recent) RFJCNXM 12.1.1:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
Did you try Factory reset (Format Data in TWRP)
Btw, on Xiaomi.eu weekly (latest 21.3.3), MIUI 12.5/Android 11, based on CN, Google Play, Services, apps work out of the box
Btw, in Settings, About, does it say for you MIUI 12.1 or 12.5 (Android 11) and what is the Security Patch date?

Haven't made a factory reset yet. Currently making a backup of my data. But after reading the other links i am skeptical if a factory reset can get GSF working again. Maybe i'll try waiting 3-4 weeks to see if they release a new fixed version like for the K30 5G
In Settings All Specs
Android version: 11
Android security update: 2021-02-01
MIUI version: MIUI 12.1.1Stable 12.1.1.0 (RFJCNXM)

So it's like Indian MIUI, where it messed device to point where it was unusable.
Stick with stable a10 and research what they do to make a11 daily

Maybe switch to Xiaomi.eu weekly builds, MIUI 12.5/A11, Google out of the box
Already 6 or so releases since December, stable (I'm using for daily driver), tomorrow expecting new release
You can find a thread here on XDA with instructions (basically, flash the zip from TWRP, wipe Dalwik and Cache and first time when jumping from stock do FORMAT DATA - not just wipe)

Seems like i'll need to wait a month to get a functioning phone with GMS again. Have just seen that the current version MIUI V12.1.1.0.RFJCNXM got Rolled back https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/davinci/roms-cn-stable/
Under the OTA updater the last changelog is also no longer available. Now it reads only "You don't have permissions to access the update log. Make sure the account you signed in with has the required permissions."
Maybe they will have released a new version without broken GMS by then. At least it took them about a month to release new versions for
rolled back versions of https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/cmi/roms-cn-stable/ and https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/picasso/roms-cn-stable/

For Global and EEA stable i have found them at the history links which are just after the latest listed version (for example)

Another site i found is https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/davinci/. But it seems like that site does not factor in roll backs and has all versions mixed in one list.
I am still sitting on the rolled back MIUI 12.1.1 (CN) version.

Thanks. For EEA I forgot I had to try "eea", not "eeu"
Xiaomi Firnware Updater lists also Xiaomi.eu releases

When do you think we will start to see Android 12 roms for our K20?

When do you think we will start to see Android 12 roms for our K20/Mi9T ?

Like right now. K20 is already old, so don't wait for 20 different ROMs, it'll be like 3-4 ROMs

We need Lineage Android 12. I wonder if it will support K20.

I doubt Lineage will support Android 11, so very improbable to see 12.
K20 is a great phone, but sadly I'm not sure support (official/non-official) will last too long.

Official support is over, not only for Mi 9T but for the whole line (9, 9 SE, 9T Pro).
Phones were released 2+ years ago, with MIUI 10, A9, and they were upgraded up to MIUI 12, A11 - but they will not receive MIUI 13, A12
EOL = End of line

Actually I searched a bit and it seems that we will get MIUI 13 on Android 11 (instead of 12): https://www.rmupdate.com/2021/12/06/xiaomi-miui-13-supported-device-list/ (read about it being 11 elsewhere).

I've seen that month or two ago. But more recently seen as attached below in the MIUI News Telegram group (XDA does not allow posting links to TG) - see on the right side "Devices that won't get A12" section
And btw, Xiaomi.eu will roll up MIUI 13 (and later A12) next year but last month they stopped providing Weeklies for Mi 9, 9 Se, 9T, 9T Pro due to EOL
It's not depending on them. Its because Xiaomi itself stopped building CN weeklies for those phones (and they are preparing now MIUI 13 weeklies but only for the newer phones)

I'm not sure what you are saying there.
As commented before, officially there will be no A12 for Mi 9T. There will be MIUI 13 on A11 though.
Whether 3rd parties create A12 roms for Mi 9T, well I guess maybe, but Lineage doesn't seem like a good candidate. Probably ArrownOS and PixelExperience will come up with an A12 version, though who know's if they actually end up working without major bugs.
And yes, Xiaomi stopped releasing weeklies for the Mi 9T on the end of November.

True. Mi9t will get Miui13 on android 11.
This is a positive thing for Miui lovers. But i think the fact that xiaomi won't release it on android 12 will make the custom roms devs work harder to port it. Since there won't be official drivers available from xiaomi.

That's really sad. The K20 Pro really is a very good one. I am really disappointed that there is no official LineageOS around. Hardware is sufficient for years to come but I also want at least somehow recent security updates.

Exactly - and specially about the issue with missing drivers for A12
The original question here was about A 12, not MIUI 13 - and the attached list says that our phones are eligible for MIUI 13 but based on A11 (look at the icons and small-print notes)

LOS A12 and A11 already exist on K20, although it is not official it is really stable and most probably even better than official since official restricts you with certain features.
