Installation Guide For Mi A1: Pixel Experience
Jorge Sucre
HOW TO INSTALL ALL PIXEL EXPERIENCE VARIANTS WITH ANDROID 10 (also works for Android 9.0)
#DISCLAIMER#
YOU MUST MAKE A BACKUP OF EVERYTHING THAT I CONSIDER IMPORTANT (PHOTOS, MESSAGES AND OTHERS) SINCE THIS PROCESS IS A CLEAN INSTALLATION AND THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO DO IT.
I ALSO SUGGEST THAT WITHIN THE TWRP YOU MAKE BACKUP OF IMPORTANT FILES LIKE "EFS, MODEM, BOOT & PERSIST AND SAVE THEM WITHIN A USB OR ON YOUR PC.
THANK YOU AND CONTINUE WITH THE PROCESS !!

#WIPES
- Boot to TWRP (CosmicDan's or OFFICIAL TWRP)
- Go to Backup > Select MODEM, EFS, BOOT & PERSIST (I suggest you keep it inside a usb or on your pc to backup them safely)
- We must observe in which SLOT we are (A or B)
- On the Home. Select WIPE > Advanced Wipe > Select Dalvik/ART Cache, System and Data (Internal Storage optional). #If you have an error regarding the VENDOR, ignore it.
- Go to Wipe > Format Data > we write "YES". #WARNING! This step erases everything you have in your internal storage, make sure you have made a backup before.
- Go to Reboot > select the SLOT that we do not have active (If we are in slot A. Restart B)
- We do steps 3 and 4 again
- Once all the previous steps have been carried out, we restart in RECOVERY.
- OPTIONAL: for users who want to use F2FS (If you are not interested, continue to the #INSTALLATION step). Go to WIPE > Advanced Wipe > Select Data Change File System > F2FS > Swipe to Change > Reboot RECOVERY.
#INSTALLATION
- Go to Install > Select ROM > Swipe to Install (if we use the CosmicDan's TWRP we leave everything as it is in the Aroma Installer screen, you know. SLOT and TWRP SURVIVAL).
- In case of not using Cosmic Dan's TWRP. you must install TWRP after ROM has been installed.
- Reboot Recovery.
- from here you should not change the SLOTs, just dedicate yourself to installing the files that you require.
- Flash CUSTOM KERNEL (Optional)
- Flash MAGISK (Optional)
- Reboot System.
- DONE!!. :)
