The arrival of Android 11 is upon us. This update is perhaps the most awaited, for us xiaomists, even more than MIUI 12. It is true that some users buy a smartphone just for updates, but the news of the latest version of the operating system are many and really interesting. We are not here to list them all but to inform that even two of the "older" devices can take advantage of the update immediately. Although this is in unofficial version, you can install it on POCO F1 e Xiaomi Mi A2. In particular, the users of the latter device will be delighted as they will not officially receive it.

Also Xiaomi Mi A2 (Android One originally) and POCO F1 can take advantage of Android 11: just install these custom ROMs created ad hoc
From the team of XDA Developers we get news that some "geeks" programmers have had the brilliant idea of giving new life to POCO F1 e Xiaomi Mi A2 through the creation of ROM custom. These are based on Android 11 and obviously are not official versions. It must be said that the work done is really interesting since at least for the We are A2 (as obvious) the update There will not be. We remind you in this regard that the OS installed on this device is Android One. Let's see together the custom ROMs in question.
Android 11 for Xiaomi Mi A2
As for this device, the custom ROM is one PSP, acronym for "Potato Open Sauce Project“, That is a ROM that starts from the code AOSP. Clearly not being an official ROM many are expected bugs. However, it doesn't necessarily work badly. We recommend, if you want to install it, a nice one backup in case of accidental damage. If you don't like it, you can always go back to the original Android One. Below is the link for the recovery download, which can only be installed via unlocking the bootloader and flashing the ROM.

Sorry but I'm not very practical about it, but then you just unlock the bootloader and install the file? Are there any bugs known? Do you think (without responsibility of course) can it be worth it? Hello and thanks
Hi Francesco. Once the bootloader is unlocked (which I remember does not invalidate the warranty) you have to flash the ROM. You can use special tools such as Mi Flash Tool. The process is not complicated in itself, but if you are not practical I do not recommend it.
At the moment the bugs are those reported in the thread that you find by clicking on the subtitle corresponding to your smartphone. Personally I think it's not worth it, but it's just my opinion. 😀
Thank you very much for the reply, I checked and I really believe that I will accept the advice 😁👍👋
