This is a continuation of my previous work with Xiaomi DX Project under the Mi4Charged effort in the form of a rom. The main focus of this rom is debloating the rom as much as possible while keeping maximum functionality. This rom is based on Xiaomi.eu roms and official china builds, with some custom features added !

Features:
-Xiaomi.eu base (thanks to this, I don't have to deodex and all languages from eu base are included; THANKS to Ingbrzy for his amazing work!)
-DOZE enabled
-Better CPU and RAM management
-Multilanguage
-Zipaligned
-Gapps preinstalled
-Busybox pre-installed
-Kernel tweaks (changes on boot.img)
-Build.prop improved
-Miui System improved to get better RAM management
-Services and frameworks improvements (more battery and system performance)
-Adaway integrated on system
-All Chinese app's and Google app's (bloatware) removed
-Advanced Reboot Menú (PowerMenu improved)
-Epic Bootanimation

Languages Supported:
-All European Languages from Xiaomi.eu (Thanks Ingbrzy, and thanks for some little mods that I added to my ROM... )

How to install first time:
-Download ZIP below
-Reboot to recovery (power + volume up)
-Make a full backup of your current ROM , photos, and all media storage; and copy it to your computer to prevent issues (even make a EFS backup!!)
-Factory Reset
-Install ZIP Rom (you don't need to be root to install it).
Only follow the next steps if installing a MIUI 8 ROM and DEV ROMS (9.1.1 and higher):
-At first boot, press the power button and enter airplane mode
-Skip every menu possible until you reach home screen
-Exit airplane mode and enjoy !!!

For root solution latest verison of magisk is recommended !!!

  • From DEV 9.1.1 and onwards all dev roms will be heavily debloated without xiaomi account and sync services
  • Stable Roms get to retain as much functionality as possible

on wich miui it is based? MIUI 9? and for update how it works? OTA Update or we should flash full zip manually?
Currently it is only available for miui 8. I'm working on MIUI 9. You can see in the link what roms are available
Can i update without wipe from miui rom?
it is adviced to clean flash but you can try. I don't recommend it though

Where mi4s users??
I don't own a Mi4s so I can not test. I will not post roms that I didn't test for myself :) sorry

It looks great! What about battery life? For example, compare with MIUI8 or Lineage or AOSP ? Thanks
You can try it for yourself and see. From my experience it is better than stock MIUI 8, xiaomi.eu or mi-globe. I don't know the current state of Lineage. It is not nice to ask a developer to compare his work with another developer. The best way is to test for yourself and make your own conclusions :)

I wrote it just in case. Someone may have never used xiaomi.eu roms. Do you want a miui rom without gapps?
Personally I never use gapps but it's more a matter of principle. I think custom roms should be as corporate-neutral (if I can say so:) as possible and allow users to add apps to them any way they want.

I can easily remove them in future builds and anyone can flash their own gapps or whatever they want. I think it is only right to do this if it a popular demand though. The only way to test this is by removing them in future builds and see if we get any responses :)

Alright for titanium backup I might have found a solution but I'm not really sure it works I need people to test it for me so I can confirm this.
-Install the rom (with whatever root you like)
-Install titanium backup but not open it yet
-Open security app, go to permissions and press the settings button on the top right corner
-You will see an option that says "Install via USB" and enable it
-Then test restore from titanium backup and i think it will work

Please reply here if this method works for you

There is no such option in settings permission.
