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.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me there are some issues I am facing after upgrading from Nougat to Oreo on my new Mi A1. The most important being Speed Dial is missing in Oreo which i used to enjoy on all Android versions till now, even in Nougat i used it. but after update it went missing. Someone please help me with this.
i have successfully installed Android pie on my mi a1 with vpn but now can i flash my phone with a custom rom??
Why would you want to flash a custom rom now? In any case, you should do alot of reading up instead of asking day 1 questions. There are many discussions here and on the official forum on the problems with pie.
I have just received the Pie update today and installed it. Before today I had the Oreo update from December. Now my A1 version is updated to January 5, 2019. I'm from Bangladesh.
I didn't use any GCam in my Oreo update. Now I want to install Pixel 3 camera with Night Sight for Mi A1 Pie update.
Can anyone suggest me the exact procedures to install the latest version of Pixel 3 designed for A1 Pie? I don't want to root, neither I want to lose my data.
Though you install gcam, focus doesn't work in pie.
So no point.
Please delete this thread and keep following other gcam threads to know more

It works setting the resolution to 9 mpx.
Would it be possible for someone to add the latest security patch to the last MIUI 9 rom for the Xiaomi Mi 2/S? It runs so smooth on my Mi 2, however I'm afraid to use it since it has a very outdated security patch. Thanx
