Concusion
That’s all for now on this Android 14 build for Redmi K20 / Mi 9T. As I have mentioned right on top of this guide that this device will NOT be upgraded to official Android 14, hence, custom ROM is the only way to upgrade to latest Android version.
Meanwhile, if some other Android 14 custom ROM comes for this, I will keep you guys posted either here or on other separate post.
That’s all for now. If you face any problem, or if you find anything missing in these instructions, do let me know in the comment section and I will try to fix it ASAP.
I installed the firmware, it’s a pixel that I liked, but there are almost no functions with android 14, even there is no customization of the clock on the lock screen.
its ROM miui or pixel expirience?
and why the firmware should be MIUI, I have pixel experience installed, can I put 14 android through this firmware
Sometimes the ROM is built on top of some specific Firmware or bootloader. this is why I mentioned MIUI.
If you are on Pixel Experience 13 you can install this Android 14 on Redmi K20 without any issues I hope.
This is DerpFest AOSP Android 14 ROM.
