The Xiaomi Mi 8 is one of the most powerful and recommended smartphone in the market today. There are very few devices that exceed it in terms of quality/price and luckily you can get it from MI store with warranty and support. It is a smartphone loved by the community and this can be seen with ads like the one we have today. An XDA developer has ported a Pixel 2 ROM, so it can be used in the Xiaomi Mi 8. It has everything you need to have an Android Stock experience and its level of customization is minimal to respect the source code of Android. Do you have a Mi 8? Today you can give it a totally different touch!
As it can not be otherwise, this custom ROM is based on AOSP and Android 9.0 Pie. It is the same interface and functions that we can in the Google Pixel 2 XL, so you can have the latest version of Android available in a very simple way. In addition, you will leave MIUI aside, a layer of personalization that does not quite fit into our market.
Update your Xiaomi Mi 8 to Android 9.0 Pie with Android Stock
The Xiaomi Mi 8 at the moment does not have the Android 9.0 Pie update. We do not know what Xiaomi’s plans are, so if you’re anxious to try that version, it’s best to update manually with a ROM. The one we leave you with today is identical to the Google Pixel 2 XL interface. The port arrives directly from that compilation and every detail is adapted to the Xiaomi Mi 8. Both the DPI of the screen and the notch have their own retouching, which makes this ROM unique for this device.
According to the developer, everything works perfectly and there are no important details to take into account. The notch is optimized not to miss notifications and its fluency is worth mentioning. You will be able to enjoy the best Android Stock experience on a Xiaomi smartphone as it is the Mi 8. In addition, you can enjoy the lock screen and the animated wallpapers of the Google Pixel 2 XL.
You will not be able to install it on another mobile, although in XDA and LineageOS you already have many ROMs of Android 9.0 Pie available. In order to install this ROM, you must follow the steps that the developer leaves in the XDA thread. It is not complicated, although we do not recommend doing it if your experience is not enough in these topics.
