Turn A1 into Mi 5X or not?

I am about to receive my Mi A1. In general, I do prefer MIUI over plain stock Android (...yes, I know that is not that common ). So naturally, I am thinking about to directly flash the A1 into a Mi 5X.
What are your opinions? Anybody here who has done it? Bugs afterwards? OTA?

Not going to work... You could brick the device..

I hear somethink about differences in partitions so better just don't do that because you can REALLY brick your phone.

Mi A1 has A/B partition which allows seamless updates whereas Mi 5X has the normal single partition. I suggest you to wait for about a month. Xiaomi will release the kernel sources (hopefully) this month and developers will make a MIUI ROM. If you tried to flash the Mi 5X ROM, you will end up bricking your phone.

What happened to XDA and moderating team?

If you wanted MIUI, you should've gotten yourself a Mi 5X. What's this nonsense thing, flash A1 into Mi 5x? It won't work. Be prepared for trouble if you try to do so.
Wait for kernel sources to be available, development to swing in. There will be a number of custom ROMs including MIUI.

Please, before asking anything read and search, there are many many many threads about A1 vs 5X. If you want Miui just because of Miui and no other reason than I can't get it why you bought A1, 5X is in general cheaper then A1.
Can't wait for Xiaomi to release kernel sources and someone ports Miui so this can stop.

Kernel Sources are Out..!

Xaiomi has finally released the kernal sources for Mi A1.
Can't wait to see an Official Paranoid Android ROM for our device ?

Congrats Mi A1 owners...

No, Xiaomi has released Nougat kernel sources... this isn't as good news as you may have hoped

Better than nothing. I think we could have good custom ROMs anyway. Remember the cancro. We have some really amazing custom Oreo 8.1 ROMs at the moment.
BTW i would use a excellent N ROM as well (something like RR, NOS, DU or similar)

There is a discussion for this topic in the guides and discussion section.

Ok Google with screen off on xiaomi.Eu or other ROMs?

Does anyone know if the xiaomi.eu custom ROM or any other custom ROM for that matter supports the OK Google command with the screen off the way it's integrated into the mi 9 for the redmi 5 plus? Asking because I currently have the mi 9 and the feature works great but I can't seem to activate it on the stock ROM for the redmi 5 plus my friend has. So before flashing a ROM I just like to know which one supports the future. Any your help is greatly appreciated

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.

old android version roms for 9t

can I get old android version rom (nougat or orio ) for mi 9t...
I need to use cube acr to record whats app and other social media (VOIP) calls...
regards

Mi 9T comes with Android 9, that means older Android versions don't exist for this device.
Maybe, but not sure if it would work, an old GSI ROM.
