Android 12 is being rolled out little by little, in a small selection of mobiles by each manufacturer. Custom ROMs continue to be a notable option, especially for support mobiles that have not been updated for a long time.
This is the case of Xiaomi POCO F1, Redmi Note 7 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 8 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, four of the most important terminals of the Chinese company, all with hardware capable of displacing versions of Android, such as 12. Paranoid Android, one of the most traditional ROMs on Android, has given these devices a second life, allowing the installation of Android 12 in its latest clean version on them.
Android 12 on the Xiaomis of three years ago
If you’re eager to try Android 12, even if it’s not in a completely stable ROM, Paranoid Android has released Sapphire Alpha 1 for the Xiaomi POCO F1, Redmi Note 7 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 8 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S . Being an alpha version, there are some bugs and it’s not completely stable, but it is a ROM usable on a daily basis if we are the most adventurous.
Paranoid Android is similar to LineageOS (formerly CyanogenMOD), but even more customizable. If you have an old Xiaomi and want to try Android 12, you can try it
Paranoid Android is a ROM based on AOSP, the cleanest version of Android, with interesting additions to have more customization in the system. In addition, these mobiles are compatible with the Gcam, so we don’t have to worry about losing quality behind closed doors, since we will have an AOSP ROM compatible with the best Google camera.
To install Paranoid Android based on Android 12 we will have to unlock the bootloader, a custom recovery like TWRP and download the corresponding ROM. We always recommend making a backup of our current ROM in case things go wrong and we want to get back to what we had before.
