Xiaomi It wants its ROM, which is installed in all the mobile phones of the Chinese company, to be available not only in its smartphones, but also in the vast majority of smartphones on the market. That is why he has launched PatchROM, a tool with which you can adapt MIUI 8 to all mobiles, or almost all, of the market.
PatchROM, MIUI 8 on all mobiles
While Xiaomi is known for its smartphones with a great quality / price ratio, it is also known for the ROM installed in its smartphones and that has become available, even officially, for other mobiles, such as MIUI. This ROM has already reached the MIUI 8 version, based on Android 7.0 Nougat, and is already in the testing phase on the Xiaomi Mi 5. However, it is not only going to come to this smartphone. It's more, not only will it be available on Xiaomi, because now the Chinese company has announced PatchROM, a tool with which you can adapt MIUI 8 to any mobile. In principle, it has compatibility with 500 different models from around the world, which leads us to think that, in effect, Xiaomi's idea is that many smartphones can have MIUI 8.
In principle, for this tool to be used, the only requirement is that the smartphone has Android 6.0 Marshmallow. From here, the company has carried out a survey to find out the interest of users and to know which smartphones they would like to see an adapted version of MIUI 8 arrive first. The survey is available on its website, and you can participate, although as is Logically, one of the mobile phones that has already become popular in said list is the Samsung Galaxy Edge S7, although there are also others like Huawei P9, the Vivo X9, or the Meizu Pro 6, all high-end smartphones, and most of them of Chinese origin.
However, it must be said that PatchROM It is available for both local mobiles, those of China, as well as for international mobiles. About half of those 500 for each region, so there will be great compatibility in the case of this tool, which is already available in GitHub, and that it will require some knowledge about ROMs so that you can work with it and adapt MIUI 8 to any smartphone. Be that as it may, it will be very useful for us to see this ROM on a wide variety of smartphones soon.
