The Google Pixel 2 ROM is different from Pixel Experience ROM. The difference being is it has lock screen weather, non-static home button animation, Pixel 2’s live wallpapers. Digital Wellbeing is said to work as well, and users will need to sign-in to the beta as on the Pixel. The ROM is also different from Android Pie GSIs for the Xiaomi Mi 8. The firmware for the Mi 8 is based on Android-9.0.0_r8 AOSP tag (PPR2.180905.006.A1). Unlike Pixel Experience where you are porting just Pixel features, the Google Pixel 2 ROM directly injects the stable Pixel 2 device’s ROM. You will have a soothing interface.
Alongside Pixel features, the ROM also features Gapps built-in so you don’t have to find & flash a compatible Gapps package separately via recovery. It is mostly stable with most of the important things known to be working and it also comes with the latest Google Apps pre-installed. The ROM brings full customizations, custom icon pack which Pixel generally use, good battery life and smooth experience. There are many features which come exclusively on pixel smartphone.
It will take some time on the first boot, nearly 5-10 minutes. Once the device boots up, you’ll see the Pixel Experience ROM on Xiaomi Mi 8 with pixel setup screen.
