Paranoid Android Pie Beta - Xiaomi Mi 8

[33bca]

We’re really excited to announce the release of Paranoid Android Pie betas.

On first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with a beautiful wallpaper from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. For those who are unfamiliar, Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhances the overall user experience.

The beta builds include adjustments and improvements on top of the stock Android CAF base. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features.

Well, that was the situation in the past years. I remember PA on Galaxy S2, for example. But on Mi8, this ROM still hasn't any features compared to the others, and it isn't updated with the latest LOS commit.
The kernel is less smart than sphinX, too. ?

Now I'm on Xiaomi.eu (with Pie), any suggest for a good installation?

Get into TWRP, wipe /data, /system, /cache and flash last Xiaomi.eu as a base. So flash PA and go with OpenGapps (I suggest the micro one). Once you'll finish all this things, reboot. That's it!
