MI A2 LITE: ANDROID PIE 9 BETA

Hello friends, here is a way to get the Android Beta 9 for our Mi A2 Lite. I succeeded the first attempt.

First of all, remove the SIM card and leave it only in the WI-FI.

STEP 1: Go to Settings -> Apps and Notifications -> See All apps -> "Show System"

STEP 2: Clear the data and cache in the apps below:
*
- GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK
- GOOGLE
- GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
- FUSED LOCATION
- LOCATION SERVICES
- GOOGLE BACKUP TRANSPORT


STEP 3: Download a VPN (I've used EXPRESSVPN). (feel free to use one of your choice)

STEP 4: Go to the VPN and select the location INDONESIA or POLAND

STEP 5: Go back to Settings and look for Update!

Dual sim VOLTE is added, thats a great feature. [UPDATED]

What is not working :

Swipe on fingerprint for notifications is removed.

    This is what I have done for my Mi A2 Lite in the UK. The names off the apps are slightly different, so I've found the corresponding ones, and ordered them alphabetically in the order to appear.

    Apps & notifications —> see all xx apps —> (top right menu) Show System —>
    - Fused Location (COMBINED LOCATION)
    - GOOGLE APP
    - Google Backup Transport (GOOGLE BACKUP TRANSFER)
    - GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
    - Google Services Framework (GOOGLE SERVICES STRUCTURE)
    - LOCATION SERVICES

    Using Cyber Ghost Trial VPN worked.

    why would they remove fingerprint for notifications it was a great feature i used it every time!!

    No idea why did they removed it, so as a work around i did below steps to enable it via
    accessibility->switch access -> settings ->assign switches to global actions -> notifications ( click it ) then swipe down action will be recorded as KEYCODE_UNKNOWN and save it.

    then come back to "switch access " and click button "use service". then it started working swipe down for notifications.
