  • Mine is Redmi Note 13 5g (Gold).

    Another helpful buddy said in the comment that, the reason for this particular model having no Official custom ROMs is, Mediatek not releasing necessary codes. Anyway, guess I’m stuck here.

    At this point, I’ll be just satisfied by knowing that an old, stable and official version of LineageOS might run smoothly on my device without any issue as I’ve wrote in my post seeing some content creator in this sector revived their old devices with this method even though those devices aren’t listed in LineageOS’s website. ✋🗿🤚


  • The little amount of idea I got about xda forums is that, their versions of the ROMs might be a bit more unstable and buggy than all the other Popular ROMs.

    I’ll make this clear by editing my original post, because it seems that I gave the wrong meaning of “unsafe”.

    So, in terms of being buggy and unstable, I concluded that it might be on par with gsm ROMs.

    I’m too less less known about all of these. As I said, I didn’t understand xda forum’s UI at all and why it exist.

    It could be that, because I got introduced with the popular ROMs first, and got mesmerized with xda’s UI that I can’t see it from a different perspective.

    I visited xda forum, specifically, this page. and browsed further pages after 1.

    I only found 1 thread of someone searching for specifically Pixel experience or LineageOS ROM and another dude said( replied in February, this year) that they should be coming in near future. Well, now it’s October and still no update.



  • I use both in a balanced way.

    I save a lot of videos in my custom private youtube playlist. And those logs is saved within my Google account automatically. Nothing happens if I uninstall the app itself by mistake or clear its data.

    Whereas in Newpipe, it doesn’t have a gmail account integration feature. Even though, it does have its custom playlist builder setting and also have the option to backup the entire streaming activity and playlists as a whole.

    But everything’s gone if someday, by mistake, the app gets uninstalled or its data get cleared without backing up in prior.

    The only 1 big reason I use Newpipe is for it’s external download feature. I can download a video as external .mp3, .mp4 and in other formats.

    To be fair, Newpipe does almost all the things that Revanced YT provides.

    But I just don’t happen to be the kind of guy to create a manual backup every 24 hours just to keep track of what I’m watching. At least, not for now.

    Maybe when I won’t be needing to update my watch time with my playlist, then I can fully shift to Newpipe. But Until then…
