Hello all, sorry if I've happened to missed the guides.

I've rooted a few phones in the past and installed custom rooms, however, I do so infrequently and every time things change.

I only have a loose grasp of GIS roms, so I'll just let that one slide.

I have the mi A2 lite (obviously) and would like to root it or get a custom room that works well.

I don't mind stock, since it is not bloated.

I installed twrp, upgraded from android 8 to 9, then twrp disappeared.

I've read somewhere that I need to disable encryption for twrp, but maybe that's no longer possible that I'm on Android 9.

If I stay stock, will or will I not be able to continue OTA?

TL;DR: Hoping for a basic guide for how to root. I wouldn't mind custom rom, but stock is fine.

Thanks!
