Android Flashing means removing the stock firmware from the Android device and replacing it with the same version or any other version. You can flash your device with a recovery mode or flash tool.

The original Xiaomi Mi Max “first release” as well as the Mi Max Prime version have received support from an unofficial version of LineageOS 18.0 that is based on the open source Android 11. However, you will need to have your phone running with the latest official version of Android Nougat before installing this version of the ROM for the bootloader and kernel to be compatible. Redmi Note 8, as well as its younger brother Redmi Note 8T, have been supported by generic AOSP ROM with Android 11 (generic here i.e. the same ROM is valid for installation on both). So, if you are ready to ditch the Wi-Fi Display because it does not work on this version, then it is stable and very suitable for everyday use. Xiaomi Mi 8 users have also had the ability to try Android R with PixelROM v3.0 (yes, it’s kind of similar to the popular Pixel Experience ROMs, but it’s not the same).
Of course, you should expect some system errors that you will need to deal with after installing the ROM. The fingerprint sensor, for example, is not working properly, so be careful.
- You can get the source code for any version of android from the AOSP like Android R, Q, P, etc.

Xiaomi Mi A2 with Android One system also has the ability to test Android 11 system stock firmware with POSP v4.0 ROM. The ROM, however, contains some errors related to the fingerprint sensor, as well as the feature to broadcast the phone screen to TV . But if you are able to use the phone without these features, then you have the opportunity to try this ROM that may be stable and without any other errors. Essential PH-1 Android 11 OS is now available with StatiXOS v4.0. Of course there are a few bugs that you will need to live with in the event that you are a phone user and want to try the new system. For example, the Bluetooth connection does not work in this version of ROM yet.
