Damn you, Mediatek !

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've been recently interested in custom ROMs for the past 2 weeks.

And amongst them, Project Infinity X caught almost all my attention.

The customization features it provides swayed me away. But it struck me hardly in my heart when I checked their device support list on their official website. My phone's model wasn't mentioned there.

Not only that, I tried to search for other Popular ROMs and they too didn't have a version for my exact model.

Then I posted in fb, some dudes told me to try gsm ROMs, or searching for ROMs with the exact codename for my phone. I didn't know what a codename is, they told to install an app from play store and then to check the codename. I still didn't understand what is a codename. Given below is a screenshot taken from that app which I think is the codename.

When I researched about gsm ROMs, I came to know that, almost all the gsm ROMs gonna cause at least one hardware-software integration problem. SIM card, or wifi, battery etc.

Then I came to know about XDA forums. I couldn't comprehend The website's UI at all. What I gathered that, the website was a place for unverified/unofficial versions of custom ROMs. Labeling that as unsafe, I couldn't trust the site.

[ Edit: As xda forum being unsafe, I meant, since it provides unverified/unofficial ROMs made by random developer, It could be buggy and unstable. So much so that it can be worse than gsm ROMs. ]

Only then, I stumbled upon LineageOS, as much as it pained me knowing that unfortunately they too, don't have a version for my exact phone, I came across all sorts of content where the uploader claimed that, they installed an older version of LineageOS in their phone which is also not cited in the official website's page, but the ROM just worked fine for their case. So I was wondering if the same is possible for my exact model. Not only with LineageOS, but with other ROMs too.

My phone model is Redmi Note 13 5g. Came with MIUI, android 13( I think, because I forgot ), then after 2 updates, it is now running android 15 on HyperOS UI.

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......

A perfected version of lemmy. With the option to follow individual user and get notified to every new post or comment they make, additionally the selection of this notification system with manual control. And, a better client hosting app for Lemmy itself. Every Lemmy hosting app I checked so far have at least one buggy optimization disadvantage/problem.
