Android 11 Custom ROM List – Unofficially Update Your Android Phone!

As you may be well aware by now, the stable version of Android 11 has now been released to the masses. Google’s Pixel series of phones and a handful of Xiaomi devices have joined the update train so far, while official beta builds are available for the OnePlus 8 lineup, the Samsung Galaxy S20 series, and several other smartphones from different OEMs. Source code for the newest iteration of Android is up and available at AOSP as well, which is undoubtedly a vital ingredient for compiling Android 11-based custom ROMs. Matter of fact, the Redmi K20 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro has already received a fairly usable vanilla AOSP 11 ROM. Now, more Android 10 custom ROMs have begun popping up in our forums for devices like the Xiaomi POCO F1, OnePlus 5/5T, Essential Phone, and the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1; and we expect even more to come along the way in the coming weeks. We’ll add and update this list with some of the first set of Android 11 builds and custom ROMs for a wide range of devices!

1.1. ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1

ASUS has yet to publish a stable Android 10 build for the ZenFone Max Pro M1, but our fantastic aftermarket development community has already come up with a pure Android 11-based AOSP ROM for this phone. The ROM is nearly fully functional, with all basic hardware features working.

1. Essential Phone PH1 (mata) StatiXOS v4.0 September 17, 2020

Android 11 on the Essential Phone is available in the form of StatiXOS v4.0. There are a few bugs that you would need to deal with, though. For instance, Bluetooth is not working yet, and the calling on Verizon might be broken. Since this is the first alpha release, the ROM contains no special customizations just yet and can be considered an AOSP build with some StatiXOS brandings.

3.1. Lenovo Z6 Pro

The team behind the RevengeOS custom ROM recently released its first Android 11-based build for the Lenovo Z6 Pro. We could not locate a bug list for the ROM, but that doesn’t make it is ready to be a daily driver material. It is always better to backup all important data before you venture into the world of bleeding-edge development.

5.1. Nokia 6.1 Plus

The Nokia 6.1 Plus gets unofficial Android 11 through the Potato Open Sauce Project (POSP) custom ROM. This ROM needs a custom vendor implementation, so make sure to download and flash the latest image from the Community Vendor project for this device beforehand.

6.1. OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T

If you have a OnePlus 5 or a OnePlus 5T and want to check out Android 11 on your phone, then go right ahead and check out the custom ROM linked below. Dubbed as “Yet another AOSP project” (YAAP), it is barely more than a simple AOSP build. Many hardware-specific features are also lacking, but that is alright as we are still in the early days and these features will be fixed on the source side over time.

6.2. OnePlus 6

Similarly, an Android 11-based POSP build is now available for the OnePlus 6. This ROM is marked as an alpha build, so we would advise only experienced users try it out at this stage. The alert slider of the device can’t be used, and there may be occasional crashes with the front camera. There are some more bugs, so ensure that you intimate yourself of the same before proceeding.

For the fan favorite POCO F1, you can try out the ReloadedOS ROM based on Android 11. The ROM is marked as “beta” and there appear to be no major bugs (except Bluetooth audio) whatsoever. If you would like to try it out, head on over to the forum thread below.

7.2. Redmi Note 9S/9 Pro India, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, and POCO M2 Pro

Xiaomi’s Snapdragon 720-powered devices have received a unified build of StatiXOS v4.0 on top of Android 11. Note that the current build isn’t compatible with the global variant of the Redmi Note 9 Pro (code-name “joyeuse”) as of yet.

7.3. Xiaomi Mi A2

The Xiaomi Mi A2 gets unofficial Android 11 through the POSP custom ROM. This ROM has some issues with Goodix fingerprint scanners and wireless casting, but if you can overlook those, you can have your first taste of the latest Android version.

7.4. Xiaomi Mi 8

The Xiaomi Mi 8 received the taste of Android 11 courtesy of PixelROM. The big news here is that SELinux in this ROM is set as enforcing. However, the current build deliberately spoofs the device fingerprint in order to pass SafetyNet.

7.5. Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro

As mentioned earlier, the Redmi K20 Pro (sold as the Mi 9T Pro in certain regions) has become the first phone to receive an Android 11 custom ROM.

7.6. Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8T

The Redmi Note 8 and the Note 8T duo got a unified Android 11-based AOSP ROM. If you are ready to ignore the glitches in Wi-Fi Display and ADB over USB, the ROM appears to be in good shape for something that is being based on a new OS version that was launched just last week.

7.7. Redmi Note 5/Redmi Note 5 Pro

An unofficial build of the popular LineageOS custom ROM based on Android 11 is now available for the Redmi Note 5 Pro (also known as simply the Redmi Note 5 in some regions). The LineageOS team has yet to merge their custom features on top of the AOSP 11 codebase, which is why the ROM is pretty much barebones at the current stage.

Android 11 Google Apps

Apart from the ROMs mentioned above, we are going to be seeing a lot of custom builds of Android 11 released in the coming weeks. However, not all custom ROMs ship with pre-installed Google apps. In case you’re looking for a suitable GApps distribution, then you’ll be happy to know that XDA Senior Member Nikhil has stepped up and published an updated version of the NikGapps package.

The SetupWizard module within this Gapps distribution is known to be problematic, but you can remedy this by skipping the module using nikgapps.config or flashing the variant without SetupWizard.
