Bro you cant flash mi 5x rom on a1 as a1 has different parition. This will just brick you device. Actually one needs to change many things in the mi 5x rom to make it work on a1.

Why you have to flash miui when you have mi a1?if you want miui go get mi 5x.
Most people buy a1 over mi 5x is because its clean coming straight from google instead of using miui

Because Xiaomi A1 uses different LTE bands than 5X. The 5X is not very usable in Europe, particularly outside cities with 800Mhz band 20 networks.

It's quite funny to see Mi 5x users who want to flash Mi A1 rom (I'm one of these persons) and Mi A1 users who wants to flash Mi 5X rom .
Maybe we should just create an exchange platforms to trade Mi 5x against Mi A1 haha.
BTW, you're not losing much because even if you could flash the Mi5X rom, you'll only get the Chinese version with a lot of untranslated things and a few bugs and complications. (especially on the google apps side).

The best and easiest way is just trade with someone who want a1 but got mi5x instead l,they definitely would be happy with that.or you can wait and flash latest lineage os which is support flashing another bands based your location,aosp rom could flash another bands via twrp,you can wait or search someone post it on xda.as my experience with previous devices it won't make big difference unless you had problems with signal after flashing new Rom

It's not about trading, Mi 5x IS NOT IDENTICAL to A1! In many countries (the majority of the european countries actually) the LTE runs on Band 20 that Mi 5x DOESN'T SUPPORT, while A1 does.
What we're asking for is to have a device with MIUI (the xiaomi.eu MIUI, not the official one that's only in chinese with bloatware and no GApps) and Band 20 to run LTE.

ALSO
Consider that A1 stock rom has ALREADY BEEN PORTED to mi 5x so there's no reason for a Mi 5x owner to trade for an A1 since what he has to do is just flash the A1 stock rom on his device... Pointless to always say "trade for a Mi5x" or "buy a Mi5x instead".
Those are not the same phone!

Any update on this?

Any update on this? I love Mi A1 but I hate stock android so much, it forced me to sell this phone. If there was a way to get MIUI working on this device, I would immediately buy it again. Has anyone successfully got MIUI working on MI A1?

Honestly I don't think this phone will get MIUI anytime soon. It will never come from Xiaomi in my opinion, maybe someone builds a MIUI ROM for this phone but modders activity doesn't look very good at the time.
If you want to enjoy MIUI it'll be best to buy another model from Xiaomi. I know the good thing about this phone are the included international mobile data bands, but it's one thing for another.

Miui rom might be available but only after Xiaomi/Google release the Kernel source code, and then custom builds like LOS and RR will also pop up

I really don't understand people who keep flooding the forums with miui requests... this phone is designed to run stock android, for people who DONT want miui (like me, who thinks miui is an awful, super bloated system), every other xiaomi phone is miui, why not buy that. it's like buying a google pixel and complaining that there isn't miui for it, boggles my mind every time I see this post, and they are everywhere

Sorry to destroy ur dream but MIUI is simply fugly and messy.
LOL please stop spamming how much you want MIUI.
It's pure nonsense.

source codes are still not available for the phone..... RIP xiaomi and google

I don't get it.. Why MIUI!?!?!?!?!?? This device has stock Android.. If you want MIUI then go buy a device with MIUI. Thank God there are so many other phones with MIUI from Xiaomi... ANY OTHER PHONE FROM THIS MANUFACTURER IS WITH MIUI.. GO BUY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!.. When the kernel source comes out the best thing is AOSPA for this device. Paranoid Android will make this device fly..... So would be Lineage OS. And something else.. You people should consider that Stock is the real Android.. Any other crappy skin is builded because the stock Android.. TouchWiz, HTC sense and any other crap like MIUI is there in this world because of Google Android. Stock. And stop asking for MIUI for this device.. You're behaving like you're 12 years old.. If you want MIUI build it yourself..

Indeed i cannot understand. It's inconsistent, fugly and buggy.
I would give it to you that it has a lot of gimmicks that causes a lot of compatabilities issues and break a lot of things.
Really useful features? Hardly any.

will mi a1 get new miui update?

i want to ask that will mi a1 get miui 10 or future updates from mi or not? and does mi a1 have dual space setting for dual apps? Is its battery drains so fast? does it have hybrid sim slot and another tray for sd card?

Its an Android one Phone. Buy Mi 5x If you want miui

Please do not forget that MIUI too is based on Android. Please posting this to buy an Mi phone. Sorry if I am rude but I guess you have never visited the threads for other devices. MIUI is being ported for them and most importantly the MI devices too have other ROMS ported to them.
The Company itself has a page [even though I have not seen the recent devices in that list] where in it has [had] released official ROMS for selected devices. So it quite obiviuos for people to ask for an MIUI ROM since it is an MI devices and has a twin [5x] already !
So please quit telling people to buy an MI 5x ! And as far as MIUI being released for Mi A1, it will never be realised officially. And as for custom ROMS and unofficial builds, it all depends on when and if the kernel sources are released and if any developer(s) ports the Roms for this device.
So if you are buying this device with hopes that MIUI would be released, then you better go for a device having MIUI.

Unless you plan on porting MIUI yourself once kernel sources are released you should not spread the word that "it would be done once the company releases the kernel sources". You don't know if a developer is going to bother. It would be unfair to users who will buy the device because of a possible future MIUI port.
Here's the facts:
1. The MI A1 runs AndroidOne, a barebones, stock version of android.
2. There is no MIUI available for the Mi A1, and there never will be officially
3. If you desperately want or need MIUI, do not buy a Mi A1 but get a device with MIUI instead.
4. If you desperately want or need a Mi A1, stop complaining about the lack of MIUI.
5. There are dozens of other devices available that run MIUI.

@Localhorst86 with all due respect, am not at all spreading any word. Nor I plan to do it myself. My bad if that statement was taken in a different manner. And I never have said that it will be officially available from MI either !
And yes I am well aware of the fact that Mi A1 is a AndroidOne Device! And this at the same time makes the device more interesting [but it again boils down to "If" ] !

@Swsultan "it would be done once the company releases the kernel sources" is a direct quote from you. To an untrained eye this could be seen as some sort of promise that once kernel sources are released there will be a miui port. There might be, but we don't know yet. The issue is in the wording. It could mislead someone into buying a MI A1 because of a future prospect that MIUI might get ported but then being stuck with a device without MIUI because no port surfaces. In that aspect it is also perfectly reasonable to tell people that they should buy a different device (one that has MIUI available) if MIUI is important to them. This wont help someone who made an unsuitable decision already when they bought the MI A1, but it will help others not to make the same decision. So the simple answer to someone who asks if there is MIUI available on the MI A1 is:
"No, there is no MIUI available for the MI A1. If you desperately need MIUI get either of the dozen MI devices available with MIUI or find another phone that has MIUI ported to it"
The list of 5 points were meant as a general rebutal to the question "How can I run MIUI on this device?", they are not intended in direct reference to your post, they are just a general list of facts. You did not say that MIUI will be officially available and I apologize if you feel that I claimed you did.

Yes I agree that the statement might mislead someone. I'll also edit that post too. Please don't apologize. Infact I should be thankful to you Coz you brought it to my notice

Miui. please respond to the developers

flipped through the forum 4pda in Russia in Russia, we got involved with the instruction on the firmware LOS 15.1 through fastboot. The man told a detailed instruction about the firmware of the folds.
Firmware system_b.
The question is as follows. Can I use only one partition under the firmware without using the other one?
I also read that you need one more must section, for miui applications, you can also create it for yourself.
yes we will lose in the amount of memory. but we get a working miui.
PS I'm not a developer just reading the forums I collect information bit by bit.

The work to port miui on mi a1 is really huge and above all it's a nonsense.
If you want miui then buy a miui capable phone. Mi 5x is an example... The mi a1 Chinese twin.
Someone tried to port miui to mi a1 in vain...
Personally I doubt that anyone is ready to take the task and make this work.

The MIUI version of a1 is even cheaper to buy... I really don't understand why people want to run MIUI on the only Xiaomi phone where you pay a premium not to have it in the first place.

The mind boggles!
As others have said, if people want a MIUI phone, buy *any* other Xiaomi device!

I am so glad to see the replies from you other people. I thought I was missing something thinking "What? WHY!"
There is an, as I understand it, identical device with MIUI (Mi 5X?) already. And a bunch of other Xiaomi phones of course.
There actually was a thread some time back (a couple of months?) about MIUI on A1 and someone being a bit snotty about it. HAve to go back and look... (yeah, I live a pretty pathetic life... )

Just if you deal with the sections in this phone it will help to solve problems later. e.g. flyme

I believe the reason for people wanting MIUI in Mi A1 was because Mi A1 has more bands than its Chinese twin.

I realised that too afterreading an old thread about this. Apparently band 20 isn't enabled in 5X.

Why immediately idiocy? I'm trying to figure out what's what, I'm interested in porting. Since I have not done this before, I find out the necessary information. Therefore, the developers, share experiences, can advice.

I understand that porting and developing is fun and people are curious, but why not focus your energy and time on other things? (like helping with 7.1.2 and 8.1.0 AOSP builds or pressuring Xiaomi into releasing the sources for Oreo).
If someone success on porting MIUI, probably 3 people in the world would use it. It's pointless.
Don't be so stubborn on something that's pretty much pointless.

@Pa94 I'm also slowly researching what a port would take. I don't think it would be too hard considering we have an almost equal device in mi 5x to use as base for a patchrom. Then port that on top of any nougat rom for the A1. However I don't have enough time currently and knowledge about the partition layouts. What I know differs is the miui cust partition and the a/b layout. I guess it takes first of all an boot.img port pointing to the right partitions and things. Then patch the 5x rom.

Here we go, again!

Xiaomi Mi A1 issues with Chinese ROM

Hi, I bought a privately imported Xiaomi Mi A1 64, and it has the latest OS on it, Android 9 build PKQ1.180917.001.V10.0.8.0.PDHMIXM.
However, it has a few non-major, but annoying quirks, such as: when you are in any application, and you get a phone call, there is no visual indication of an ongoing call, you have to switch to the call (e.g. like the iPhone has the green line at the top of the screen whenever a call is in progress). I tried to install a 3rd party app that provides call status at all times, but it didn't work well. I consulted a cellular repair lab, and they checked it and said that this device doesn't have the "international" android Firmware, but some kind of Chinese derivative, that's causing the issues. There are no signs of this, because everything is in English. But they said, it is too risky to try and root it and install some kind of mod to set things right. I consulted several other labs and got similar answers.
I already tried a complete factory reset.
What mod would be recommended for this phone that would be a "normal" Android build for this device, that comes with all the basic features built in?
many thanks

Be careful. If your phone is imported from chinese, then It could be the Mi 5X, which has an different system compared to Mi A1. Installing Mi A1 roms directly may cause brick.

Your best bet is finding a IMEI-checking website. However, if yours is imported from China then it's high chance it is the Mi 5X, which is Mi A1 in Chinese. There is no "international" or "chinese" rom version for Mi A1 because in Chinese it's a different phone. Mi 5X ran MIUI and doesn't have A/B like Mi A1.

As this has very similar specs to laurel_sprout(Mi A3) and the kernel source code has been released by Xiaomi, I am going to work for this device by bringing TWRP and some custom ROMs to it. As I do not own the device, I will need one tester at least to help me test my works regurarly. Therefore, I made a official Mi CC9e Telegram group to discuss with my testers with ease and to keep everyone updated faster. Just search for Mi CC9e, you'lll find it.
Kernel source code: https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/laurus-p-oss
As soon as I'll get some tester(s) with the bootloader unlocked, I'll get right on working on this.
Regards,

any udpdate for micc9e with global rom (MIA3 eu)

I hear, unlike Mi A3, CC9e is A (not A/B). correct?

what is this A/B.this is from 4pda?what they mean A-B there?

A/B is a Google concept and means (at least) vendor system boot and modem partitions are present twice so one can do seamless upgrade which falls back to previous in case it fails.

Hey! I'd like to help out. However, I cannot find your telegram group. Could you put the link of group here? So that we can help you more easily.
By the way, Mi cc 9e is almost the same as Xiaomi A3. They even share the codename (laurus). I wonder if the Android One could be ported to Mi cc 9e. (I really hate MIUI)

pls pls some port for cc9e,
