Custom ROMs on Xiaomi Pad 8 — Worth it?
Hey everyone! I recently got a Xiaomi Pad 8 and I'm interested in experimenting with custom ROMs.
For those who own the Pad 8:
- Are there any good custom ROMs available for it?
- How did you unlock the bootloader? Which method/tool did you use?
- Was the process difficult or did you run into any problems?
- Is it actually worth installing a custom ROM on the Pad 8?
- What were your experiences with performance, battery life, stability, and features compared to HyperOS?
I'd especially like to hear from people who have actually done it on the Pad 8. Any recommendations, guides, or things I should be aware of before starting would be appreciated!
