Hi all! I'm planning to buy a redmi 9 pro (miatoll, right?) but wanted to double check if lineageos is working fine on this device. Your comments are appreciated. Thanks!
I would higly recommend not to buy this smartphone.
i buy it last year to replace a broken poco f1. And had the decision to make to buy a another poco f1 or the redmi 9 pro. At the end i buyed the redmi 9 pro, and i higly regret it.
The reason is simply: A LOT of Stuff isnt working with any rom available actual.
For example:
- Random reboots or hard crash after wake up from standby (occurs on all available roms actually, some phones seems ok, some fixable with another kernel)
- Booth SIM Cards Slots not usable
- Microsd card cant formated to extend the space. only as mobile space
- Camera need third party mods and complicated changes to fully work (i dont make photos, so i simply using the one including in lineageos, even if the quality is bad)
- no voip
- no volte
- many more...
But the main reason is why i regret it, and i do not want to blame any developer:
I saw multiply change of Maintainer/Developer where starts and ends to build rom x. And that exist multiply Lineageos roms for example, or crdroid roms, or others, is bad too.
I wish the developer wich have the skills to make roms, would talk to each other and concentrate to make one single solid rom for this device. Instead of 3 different builds of lineageos 17 or 18 or crdroid.
For me, the last 12 months or longer, i had to skip every 1 - 2 months to another rom (and everytime backup 70gb+ data with super slow usb because of cleanflash everytime) of the same "operation system" because of bugs or another problems.
If you want a new phone, i highly recommend to buy one wich is fully official supported by lineageos. Like the poco f1, or google nexus phones.
End this year, i buy me a google nexus phone or a poco f1 again with christmas money. They arent slower, have the same size, and working fully without any problems/bugs.
