That's amongst the reason I do my AOSP GSI ( https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/ https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases... ; Generic System Image, an Android that works on pretty much all recent Android phones).
Xiaomi devices are usually at sweet spots price/performance-wise (not really great hardware imo, but well). With custom ROMs (including my GSIs, but other custom ROMs are fine as well), buy a phone for their hardware, not for their software. (BTW my daily driver is a Pixel 5... not running Google adwares! Only high-end-ish device that fits my hand).
However, Xiaomi devices are bricks for like a month, because before being able to install your own software, you need to be approved (connecting a smartphone on a Windows computer), and it's only once you get your smartphone that you can install your own software.
- lostmsu 6y agoMy problem with GSI was last I checked (1 year ago) it still did not support storage encryption (Max 3), and SELinux was off. Awesome project though.
- phh 6y agoUh, both have been forever wrong using my GSIs? I've never made any GSI without storage encryption, and My GSI have always been running SELinux enforcing. Some kinds of GSIs have those kind of issues, but it's only those that are binary ports from OEM ROMs, like port from Xiaomi or OnePlus ROMs, but proper source-based GSIs shouldn't have those issues.
- lostmsu 6y agoHm, I distinctly remember using specifically your GSIs mid 2019 (and would love to return to them) on Mi Max 3. In early 2020 XDA thread [1] I was suggested to use phh-securise to reenable SELinux, which suggests that it was not enabled by default at least back then. Never got to try phh-securise, since the encryption part of the response was not definitive.

- lostmsu 6y agoPrompted by your comment I reflashed my Xiaomi today with the latest A/B GSI [1], and the phone seems to be encrypted. Many thanks for your great work! https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v301 https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases...
