Android 11 Custom ROM List – Unofficially Update Your Android Phone!

As you may be well aware by now, the stable version of Android 11 has now been released to the masses. Google’s Pixel series of phones and a handful of Xiaomi devices have joined the update train so far, while official beta builds are available for the OnePlus 8 lineup, the Samsung Galaxy S20 series, and several other smartphones from different OEMs. Source code for the newest iteration of Android is up and available at AOSP as well, which is undoubtedly a vital ingredient for compiling Android 11-based custom ROMs. Matter of fact, the Redmi K20 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro has already received a fairly usable vanilla AOSP 11 ROM. Now, more Android 10 custom ROMs have begun popping up in our forums for devices like the Xiaomi POCO F1, OnePlus 5/5T, Essential Phone, and the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1; and we expect even more to come along the way in the coming weeks. We’ll add and update this list with some of the first set of Android 11 builds and custom ROMs for a wide range of devices!

Android 11 Google Apps

Apart from the ROMs mentioned above, we are going to be seeing a lot of custom builds of Android 11 released in the coming weeks. However, not all custom ROMs ship with pre-installed Google apps. In case you’re looking for a suitable GApps distribution, then you’ll be happy to know that several GApps distributions have already been updated to support the latest version of Android.

1. NikGapps

XDA Senior Member Nikhil has stepped up and published an updated version of the NikGapps package. The SetupWizard module within this Gapps distribution is known to be problematic, but you can remedy this by skipping the module using nikgapps.config or flashing the variant without SetupWizard.

Download NikGApps

2. BiTGApps

XDA Senior Member TheHitMan has also updated the BiTGApps package. The latest release, tagged as R16, is now compatible with Android 11.

Google Play and Google Pay are now being investigated for market dominance in India

Technology makes our lives easier, and bigger companies make it even easier with seamless integration throughout their ecosystems. But now, across the world, the conversation has started turning towards how some technology companies may have perhaps become too big for the market. Recently, the US Antitrust Subcommittee concluded that Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google abused their monopoly and dominance. The Department of Justice in the USA also began an antitrust case against Google. And now in India, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) has launched an investigation against Google Play and Google Pay for their market dominance.

The news has broken courtesy of MediaNama, with information shared in a Twitter thread. The snippets highlighted are part of the order for investigation, which MediaNama has accessed.

Breaking news: Competition Commission of India has ordered an investigation into dominance by @GoogleIndia , especially looking into @GooglePayIndia .

This follows a major pushback by Indian founders against the 30% “tax” by Google on Indian companies.

A thread by @nixxin
1/

— MediaNama.com (@medianama) November 9, 2020

Much like several other investigations across the world, the CCI investigation is looking into dominance by Google, using its dominant and monopolistic positioning in one business to unfairly prop up another of its own business to the point of shutting out competitors. Medianama states that CCI will look into these allegations towards Google’s dominance, revolving around Android and the Google Play Store, and how it is affecting Google Pay:

Exclusivity regarding mode of payment for purchase of apps, and in-app purchases: Google’s 30% cut on all purchases made on the Android app platform is being investigated.
Requiring OEMs to pre-install Google Pay as part of GMS on Android
Google Play Store search manipulation and bias by Google in favor of Google Pay: Even when users search for “pay” on the Google Play Store, the first result is Google Pay, and not Paytm or Phonepe.
Prominent placement of Google on the Play Store: Allegations made on rigging “User Choice”, “Editor’s Choice”, and “Top free apps” lists to favor Google Pay. Google Pay is also being promoted on Google Search for recharges and bill payments.
Google prioritizes Google Pay ads on the Play Store whenever a user searches for Paytm or Phonepe. This is not under investigation, but remains an allegation.

It’s important to note that these are allegations at this stage, and the CCI will then set out to investigate these allegations. Parties to the investigation will be given opportunities to present their side, and only when the allegations are adjudged to be true, will further action be taken.

The CCI investigation comes in the backdrop of a group of prominent Indian app developers criticizing Google’s behavior on the Play Store and in India’s digital money market. This outrage, in turn, started off when Paytm was briefly removed from the Play Store for violating policies on gambling.

Nokia 8 V 5G UW is a powerful new Android device headed to Verizon

HMD Global has announced the Nokia 8 V 5G UW, a new upper mid-range Android smartphone that will be available on Verizon. The hardware is similar to the Nokia 8.3 5G, save for a few key differences, namely the addition of mmWave antennas for Verizon’s Ultra Wideband 5G network.

Nokia 8 V 5G UW: Specifications

Specification	Nokia 8 V 5G UW
Build	Aluminum core and frame Front: Gorilla Glass 5 Back: Gorilla Glass 3 vacuum-molded into a 3D shape
Dimensions & Weight	171.90 x 78.56 x 8.99mm 220g
Display	6.81-inch LCD 2400 x 1080 resolution 20:9 aspect ratio 120Hz refresh rate
SoC	Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G Mobile Platform Octa-Core CPU (1 x 2.4GHz + 1 x 2.2GHz + 6 x 1.8GHz Kryo 475) Adreno 620 GPU 7nm EUV fabrication process
RAM & Storage	6GB LPDDR4X RAM + 64GB storage 8GB LPDDR4X RAM + 128GB storage Expandable storage with MicroSD
Battery & Charging	4500mAh battery 18W fast charging via USB Type-C port
Rear Camera(s)	Primary: 64MP rear camera with Dual LED flash, ZEISS Optics, Secondary: 12MP ultra wide-angle lens, Tertiary: 2MP macro Quarternary: 2MP depth sensor
Front Camera(s)	24MP front-facing camera
Audio	3.5 mm headphone jack FM radio receiver OZO audio
Connectivity	5G SA/ NSA / Dual 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5, GPS/GLONASS/Beidou, Single / Dual SIM
Software	Android 10
Security	Side-mounted fingerprint sensor

HMD Global said it “strategically” placed three mmWave antennas around the Nokia 8 V 5G UW’s chassis, one more than you’d normally find. The idea is to provide people with an improved mmWave experience, which is notoriously finicky with offering a reliable and consistent connection. Despite the inclusion of three mmWave antennas, the device is still just 8.9mm in depth.

The Nokia 8 V 5G UW features a 6.81-inch Full HD+ LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate alongside the i3 display processor from Pixelworks. Under-the-hood, the smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G processor and comes equipped with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage. Both options offer expandable storage via microSD.

A side-mounted fingerprint sensor is included for biometrics, and there’s a quad-camera setup comprised of a 64MP main rear camera joined by a 12MP wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. It’s all contained in a build comprised of an aluminum core and frame, the back of which is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 3 vacuum-molded into a 3D shape. There’s also a layer of Gorilla Glass 5 for the display.

The device also offers a 4500mAh battery with 18W wired charging support, runs Android 10 out of the box, and has a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you don’t have to worry about purchasing wireless headphones just yet. For those who like convenience, there’s a programmable Google Assistant button, making it very easy to start barking out requests.

Nokia 8.3 5G XDA Forums

Notably, the Nokia 8 V 5G UW isn’t part of the Android One program, unlike many of HMD Global’s other Nokia-branded smartphones. None of HMD Global’s carrier-branded devices are part of the Android One program, though HMD Global has committed to providing two years of OS updates and 18 months of security updates. Compare that to the Google Pixel 5, which offers three years of software and security updates.

Pricing and Availability

The Nokia 8 V 5G UW can be purchased from Verizon’s website, a Verizon store, or Best Buy beginning November 12. It’ll be available in Meteor Grey for $699. Verizon recently launched its 5G Nationwide network, so the new Nokia device comes at a fortuitous time.

Xiaomi Android 11 Tracker: Here are all the official MIUI beta and stable builds to download and install

Following the arrival of the first public beta of Android 11 back in June, Xiaomi published similar AOSP-style beta builds for the Mi 10/10 Pro and the Redmi K30 Pro (e.g. the Chinese variant of the POCO F2 Pro) later that month. Shortly thereafter, the Chinese OEM started rolling out MIUI 12-based closed beta builds for these phones, however, the underlying layer of Android was still based on the beta codebase. Now that Android 11 hits the stable milestone, Xiaomi has already prepared stable MIUI 12 builds on top of the latest iteration of Android.

The first batch of global devices to receive the MIUI 12-infused stable Android 11 update includes the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. Many more Mi, Redmi, and POCO branded smartphones are expected to get the update in the coming days. This article will serve as the central repository of download links for all Xiaomi devices that have received their official Android 11 updates, including the ones powered by Android One instead of MIUI.

It is worth mentioning that the MIUI versioning scheme doesn’t have a one-to-one correspondence with the version of Android. While Xiaomi is expected to unveil a new version of MIUI — tentatively MIUI 13 — with new features in the near future, the company will continue to produce MIUI 12-based Android 11 builds for compatible devices during the transition phase.

The compatible devices will initially get the taste of Android 11 through the MIUI beta channel (which has now been rebased on top of the stable Android 11 codebase), and then through the stable channel builds. Features on Xiaomi devices are often decided more by their MIUI version and less by their Android version. So you can take a look at our other trackers for MIUI 12 builds.

Xiaomi Android 11 Update List: Which phones have received the stable update?

This article covers Xiaomi (Mi), Redmi, and POCO devices that have received a stable Android 11 update—be it a “stable beta” or actual stable build—in any region. Cross-flashing different regional builds is technically possible but only do so if you’re familiar with the process.

Here are the devices that currently have an Android 11 build based on the stable Android branch available. Note that the devices are sorted alphabetically for their codename.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro (cmi) — Added on 09/09/2020
Redmi K30 Pro / POCO F2 Pro (lmi) — Added on 09/09/2020
Xiaomi Mi 10 (umi) — Added on 09/09/2020

Generic flashing instructions are available at the bottom of this article. However, we advise users to refer to the device forums for specific flashing instructions for their device, in case there are any variations or special instructions that need to be followed. Notably, the concept of a downgrade ROM isn’t applicable here. First, check the Anti-Rollback Protection status of your model and then flash the appropriate stable Android 10-based Fastboot firmware if you need to revert back.

Flashing Instructions for Android 11-based MIUI 12

Note that these are generic flashing instructions that should generally be applicable across Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices. However, there is a possibility that there is a variation that is unique to your device, so we strongly advise visiting your device forums for device-specific instructions.

Recovery ROM Installation for Android 11-MIUI 12

Recovery ROMs come with a .zip file extension and can be installed either through the Local Update method from within MIUI, or through the recovery environment. Newer versions of the stock MIUI recovery don’t offer any option for sideloading, but you can use a custom recovery like TWRP for installing these ROMs, though do note that device-specific instructions may differ in that case.

Local Update method:
1. Transfer the download .zip file to your phone, and ensure you place the file in the “downloaded_rom” folder in the internal storage of your device. If no such folder exists, create one in your internal storage base directory.
2. Within your phone, navigate to Settings > About Phone > System Update, and then press the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, and select “Choose Update Package”.
3. If the “Choose Update Package” option is missing, tap on the MIUI logo 10 times to activate the option.
4. Choose the downloaded .zip file.
5. Wait for the update to install.
Recovery method:
1. Rename the downloaded .zip file to update.zip and transfer it to the base directory of your phone’s internal storage.
2. Reboot your phone into recovery mode by powering it off and then pressing both the Power and the Volume Up buttons together.
3. Scroll to the “Install update.zip” option using the volume keys, and select the option using the power button.
4. Wait for the update to install.
5. Choose the “Reboot” option if your phone does not reboot by itself after installation is completed.

Fastboot ROM Installation for Android 11-MIUI 12

Fastboot ROMs come with a .tgz file extension and require a Windows computer for the installation, as well as a phone with an unlocked bootloader. However, despite being comparatively more complicated to install than Recovery ROMs, Fastboot ROMs are sometimes the only way to boot into a working system. For instructions on unlocking the bootloader of your phone, check your device’s subforums on XDA.

Download MiFlash Tool on your Windows computer. The latest version can be found in Step 1 of this link. Once downloaded, extract the tool and install it. It is also advisable to have ADB and Fastboot installed, just in case you need it.
Reboot your phone into Download mode by powering it off and then pressing both the Power and Volume Down buttons together.
Connect your phone to the computer using the appropriate USB cable.
Download the Fastboot ROM .tgz file and extract it. Remember the extract location, as you will need to paste the address into MiFlash Tool.
Run MiFlash Tool on your Windows Computer and in the address bar within the tool, paste the extract location from Step 4.
Click “Refresh” within MiFlash and the app should automatically recognize your device.
Click “Run” within MiFlash to flash the ROM file to the device.
The progress bar within MiFlash will turn green, which indicates that the ROM was successfully installed. Your device should boot automatically to the new version.

OnePlus accidentally pushed a stable update to some OnePlus 8 series beta users, causing data wipes

OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro users recently received the OxygenOS 11.0.1.1 update on the stable channel. The update included the new “Canvas” mode, optimizations to background process management, October 2020 security patches, and more. Shortly after the rollout started, OnePlus accidentally pushed the stable update to OnePlus 8 series devices on the beta channel, completely wiping the devices in the process.

The issue was first brought to light on OnePlus’ community forums early morning on Saturday, November 7th, when OnePlus’ Community Consultant dsmonteiro shared the following statement:

“It seems like some users are reporting receiving the Stable update over the Open Beta 3, leading to a full data wipe. This information was already shared with the software team so it can be checked and addressed. Meanwhile, if you receive an update OTA, please double-confirm if it’s an Open Beta update. If it isn’t, please DO NOT install it.”

However, by the time the statement was posted, several OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro users had already lost all of their data. Due to the mishap, many users lost their on-device images, videos, messages, etc. and, in several instances, even lost access to 2-factor authentication apps like Google Authenticator. Since the affected users weren’t able to transfer their 2FA keys, they were also locked out of their Gmail, Discord, LinkedIn, and GitHub, accounts. On top of that, some users were downgraded from the October 2020 security patches to the outdated August 2020 security patches.

OnePlus’ community forums are chock full of OnePlus 8 series users reporting this issue, and in response, the company seems to have stopped the rollout on the beta channel. However, the update is still rolling out to users on the stable channel. For users who received the update but didn’t restart their device, OnePlus has shared an APK as a temporary solution to avoid data loss. In case you’ve received the update on your device, you can download said APK by following this link. According to the OxygenUpdater team, the APK effectively cancels the pending update installation after a reboot, thereby preventing data loss.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time OnePlus accidentally pushed the wrong OTA update to one of its devices. Back in March this year, OnePlus posted incorrect links for OnePlus 7T EU and OnePlus 7T Global Open Beta updates, which led to users in India losing the region-specific features that aren’t available in the EU build.
