Hello everyone. Please i have a question.. I just installed a custom rom on my phone for the first time ever. I just read some guides on the internet and i followed and i was able to get it done and now its working perfectly. Now my question is, later on if i wanna install another custom rom or upgrade the current one, would i have to wipe the whole system again like i did this first time? I'm worried about losing all my Apps and setups again in the process. I'm presently running on Android 9 and i believe Android 10 version will be released for the phone pretty soon.

Secondly, whenever i am putting on the phone, it first brings a page where it says my phone is unlocked, phone will start in 5 seconds blablabla before it now takes off the page and then goes to the page of the real startup {lineageOs startup}. Is it normal to first be seeing that thing whenever i put the phone on? I was thinking it would just show the startup straight. Thanks in anticipation


1. To upgrade, just flash the current one over the old one. It's called 'dirty flashing'.

To flash another custom ROM, go to twrp menu and wipe everything (except internal storage). Before that, backup your apps with titanium backup pro, check YouTube on how to use it. It must have root privileges

2. It's normal.

This is tweaking thread

Go to system update click on the MIUI icon 10 times. Then click on the three vertical dots at the upper right corner you should see choose update package then locate the downloaded ROM and keep your data ON

It's the best miui rom, from experience, I'd say better than the stock rom, it's clean (no ads) and gets regular updates.

Alright then, then one main feature I'm looking out for that I need to confirm first, which is "a feature that requires password or pin before the phone is turned off"
Is that feature available in the EU ROM?
And does the EU ROM support the normal Miui gestures to?

Your first question, the answer is no. The feature that should have made up for it is the 'access to power menu when device is locked', it works cos when the power button is pressed when the device is locked the power menu doesn't pop up but if you still hold the power button for about 7-10 seconds the phone will reboot, though still locked.
Second question, the answer is yes. See pix.
Modified.
Just to be clear,
there is a difference between eu rom and miui.eu.
EU rom, a variant of miui stock rom.
Miui.eu, a miui based custom rom.
So in this case im talking about the miui.eu rom

Thanks. Would you say the battery backup is better on the EU ROM as compared to the regular Miui??

I'm on beta so I get updates every week.
I get about 7-8 hours sot max. I don't know if it has anything to do with been on beta. I got more than this sot when I was on MIUI stable.

No, it doesn't have that feature, but it has something that does similar job. Just go to Settings - Lockscreen and toggle that switch off and you're good to go.
For gestures - Yes, EU roms fully supports Miui gestures.

Yes! Just don't flash beta EU roms, wait for stable builds. I've always been on stable builds and I get more than 10hrs SOT

Thanks. I'm a bit confused now. Please sorry I'm asking too much.
What are the advantages of Miui compared to EU ROM??

I hope you're not mixing things up like this? I believe the Official Miui is the one you're referring to as miui but also note that the one you're calling EU ROM which is actually Xiaomi.eu ROM is also a miui Rom and as for me, the official miui has nothing over Xiaomi.eu. For me, I see it as an optimized version of the official one; No ads, less bloatwares and so on. Although it's not as customizable like some other miui-based custom Rom, it's the king of stability.
