Develop Bugs

How is the MIUI V8.2.1.0.MAGMIDL update?

i have just got this update on my mi5s, is it good?

No idea you tell us as bugger all on my Mi5S.

I checked the Update app, didn't get the update.Is this a soak test of sorts?

It's out for the Mi5S Plus maybe that's what he is on about.

It hasn't been officially released.
It's a nightly pushed to a number of users.

I'm using xiaomi.eu, so I don't know how this ROM is working.
If in doubt, check the official forum.

Got it installed, sofarno problem, they fixed some UI bugs I was angry about too.

Except that now you should have the qfp-service bug, like in China or Xiaomi.eu version.

There we go, its eating battery like crazy How do I fix it my friend?

Big amount of users from 4pda report that they don't have troubles with battery.

My phone is running Stable 8.2.3.0 MAGCNDL for a couple of weeks and it's more stable than previous version, at least when I take screenshot, the preview doesn't super-fast-blink.
Hence that my mom phone (Mi 5) has been running that version for about 2 months before my phone was updated. Yes, it's a stable version, not nightly or any kind of experiment...

If your device is rooted, freeze the app com.qualcomm.qti.biometrics.fingerprint.service
If not, try disabling any kind of unlock with fingerprint and delete all saved fingerprint.

After using it since Friday, its a pretty nice update. I liked the new quick toggles animation and the overall smoothness is improved.

i have it on my mi 5s and is good.
I prefer custom ROM like LineageOS because, even if it is official, it is less complete and usable

Hi guys, mi5s on 8.0.3.0 here. Should I flash this or should I wait until the ota comes?

You should wait. There are chances that the version we will get might be 8.2.3.0 (or similar) which includes a few more fixes to found issues.

have you read something about when it will be released?

Why can't I just use the China ROM instead of Global?

Apart from having to add gapps and some Chinese bloat, is there any other downside to sticking with the Chinese ROM?
What upsides are there if any?
Thanks.

Can anyone reply please? I've found one at an excellent price and want to snag it before it goes.

You can keep using the chinese one and have it fully functional, but some polish is missing and some aspects of MIUI will be chinese even with the language set to english. The biggest one I noticed is the theme and wallpaper store - it's always chinese, and even the same themes downloaded under the chinese theme store are different (I think the chinese store doesn't allow icon packs?). Searching for themes by their english name doesn't work on the chinese theme store either.
There's also a lot more china-specific settings and services that are just gone in the actual global ROM, the global ROM is much more barebones (uses less memory too) than the chinese ROM and not everything can simply be uninstalled in the chinese rom without root, just hidden. The global ROM basically just comes with google play services and common google apps, MIUI replacements for AOSP basic apps like calculator/calendar/weather/browser/music/etc and is as bland as possible to appeal to a larger audience.
Global rom is definitely a better experience, but you CAN use the chinese ROM just fine. I did for awhile until the global ROM came out, flashed it immediately because I wanted a cleaner OS with ~10 less random chinese apps sitting in the app drawer.

Just buy it and flash Global Rom on it

Thanks for the reply. I'm not particularly bothered by that stuff, I just want regular ota updates and miui 9. I've heard that some notifications have a problem on the Chinese rom and Google contacts has a problem syncing. Did you find that?

I don't really want to mess around with the phone at all. I'm not a flash/mod disciple.

My Mix 2 has Chinese rom and I find it OK after I installed the Google installer app. I stopped all Chinese roms that I do not need. With 256 GB, I do not worry about the stopped Chinese roms eating into the memory.

Thanks for the replies. I've ordered it with the Chinese ROM.

Just a quick update to say that the Chinese rom is perfectly ok for me. No glaring issues at all.

Everything OK

I have the same experience after a week using the China ROM on my Redmi 5 Plus
With China ROM I was able to delete 80% of china bloatware and everything else runs just fine and smooth, calls, GPS, email, etc. (with Gapps) so if you never flashed a ROM before, I recommend to keep the China ROM instead of the Global

Haha, many Chinese flash the global rom just for the clean OS and the AOSP notification bar.

If I was to get the device with the Chinese ROM installed is it simply a case of downloading the global ROM from the mini website and installing it via the updater app or will the bootloader need to be unlocked? Seen a couple of good deals but all for the Chinese version.

its not so easy, you need to get a unlock approval from xiaomi, then you need to wait to unlock the bootloader, and then you can flash whatever you want.
From getting the approval to the finished unlocked bootloader, it will take about 3-5 days

i am looking to purchase mi 9 once it is released in china, but how long does it take for the MIUI 10 global rom available to download?

Ah ok. You need to deactivate your Xiaomi account for the phone. Registering throws up all sorts of stuff including ads etc. After that you should be good to go.

It's just bugging me that I can't use something that is part of the phone. I also can't use the Mi PC Suite either, it doesn't detect my phone. Not that it's dire, just the fact that it won't work irks me ;p I'm using Havoc rom atm anyways, but knowing me I'll be switching around a lot

Custom Roms

Considering the Kernel source is already available, how soon could we expect a custom ROM like lineage OS to become available?

Maybe some months

Is it worth it??
Ive been using this phone with the global one and the only issue I found is the auto brightness. Sometimes the screen is too dark and is not so accurate tbh.
I would like maybe more battery duration but it seems fine (far from my ex phone, a huawei honor play) but in general terms the ROM works pretty good.

so, no kernel sources yet and therefore nobody is working on a custom rom.
are there plans to start so?

i thought it might depend on the sources that some motivated people are going to build a rom. but yeah i definitely willing to wait for it.

Based on the dev work done with it's predecessor mi 8 se, I'd say there is **** all chance of this phone getting custom roms.
It's a pity, I much prefer the smaller size of this phone, but I'm ****ed if I'm going to have a phone stuck running miui

There was no global version neither release for the Mi 8 SE, things are quite different.
We just have to wait for Qualcomm 712 sources to be released, exactly the same as with the 855.

As stated on another thread, there is no point in waiting for a full ROM when device is Treble enabled.
FlokoROM is already working fine on Mi 9 SE, you can download Aonly GSI img from https://treble.andro.plus/ and flash it.
On top of that, it looks like someone is already reworking the kernel using CAF sources.
For some reference and a full ROM list, you can check https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble

Move from V11.0.3.0.PGGEUXM to V11.0.6.0.PGGMIXM, possible?

My device seems to be Europe due to the default OS that came with the device, I have never unlocked the bootloader or done changes to the ROM, however I'd like to move to Global because it's said to have differences among the EUROPE version? If so, how and if I can move to the global version?

Words of advise, just do not attempt to do anything without UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER FIRST!!
You simply cannot switch regions before taking that first preliminary step.
That's the way it goes.
Hope this helps,

I asked the same question, because i am on the global euro firmware, and my phone is not detecting my NAVIGO transit card through NFC. I was wondering if the global international was better regarding this matter.

I've moved from EEA to GLOBAL with Xiaomitool 2, it changes my firmware to 11.0.2 GLOBAL without unlocking the bootloader, and then I manually push the full upgrade through the update app. Then I restore my phone for a full restoration.
Working smooth without issues.

When I am unsure what the real differences are because I think HW is the same for both Global and Eu phones, I am pretty sure Laws regarding privacy of users are more strict in EU and there are probably some alteration of bundled software to abide with them.
Those privacy laws are the main reason why neither of those Roms have default MIUI dialer + recording and Messaging, because Xiaomi collects quite a lot of data. Not saying Google does not, but they already had to abide with those Rules and Regulations, so was probably way easier to bundle default android apps, rather than patching their own apps and doing so ending up having 2 versions of the same app.
Besides that, I am pretty curious too what really are the difference between EEA and Global versions with same number. Of course if we compare two different versions of MIUI, we will always find something different.
I am not sure where we can find an official info.
UPDATE:
As I was suspecting looks like main differences are related to ads and how/what datas can be collected or not.
From this post here where users were speaking about it too, differences seems to be summarized to those main differences:
EEA is a Global Rom specially designed for Europe - which basically is just saying they are taking GDPR seriously. You won't get ads and you will need to accept a prompt on every instance where they would collect data (unlike standard Global one).
Global ROM:
This is the official worldwide ROM for all countries except China
The Global ROM has also a Beta Program
The Global ROM receives updates every 1 to 2 months
EEA ROM:
This ROM was specifically designed for EU countries
During the first setup, one can disable all ads inside Mi Apps globally, whereas in the Global ROM, one needs to do that in the Apps themselves
The EEA ROM doesn't have a Beta program
Updates seem to be slower

Use xiaomitool v2 to change from EEA to global stable.
Just search it at xda forum, download it, and follow the instruction o both screen, PC and phone.
I had change the rom without unlocking the bootloader, no problems at all. But do it with your own responsability. I made it following the instructions from the forum of the Xiaomi Mi 9, that someone make it without unlocking bootloader. So I think than on ours phone, it was the same thing.
I delete my gmail account and the rest of account, then I follow the instruction. Clickin on My phone works correctly and i want to mod it, when Xiaomitool v2 ask me what i want to do. Then, click on global, the program itself download global rom 11.0.2 and then install via fastboot. Then i initialised the phone, put the full update global 11.0.6 zip in the phone storage, then go to update app, touch ten times miui 11 logo, and then, tap on the tree dots, manual upgrade, select the update zip. The phone installa the update and you will get your Redmi Note 8 Pro EEA 11.0.3 rom moved to Redmi Note 8 Pro GLOBAL 11.0.6.

EEU Roms really dont have ads ?

Click to expand...

Personally after I have debloated the phone using Saki tools (I was not aware of that 'option' to disable ads within the settings) I dont get those MIUI ads everywhere. Of course that does not remove the 'Free' applications ads from the 3rd party application you may install (freemium games and such). Adaway might deal with those, or patch of culprit app with Luckpatcher or such. Or just dont install Adware apps.
I also did not really read what was asked of me when I first started the phone, but as a general rule I answer NO to every thing
For example an other girl friend of mine, who has no computer skills and just started the phone out of the box gets ads everywhere.
An other example the MIUI app installer, which I thought was essential to run the OS, adds ads for every apk installation. You get rid of that, you fall back on regular android stock installer and it has no ads.
Basically all MIUI apps shipped with the phone en EEA has ads. So if you have no use for them, get rid off them.
Once you have removed/disabled all of those, you'll get considerably less ads showing for sure
Hope this helps.

Use debloated miui 11. Good roms are MIUI eu 11.0.11 and MiuiMix 11.0.11 (favorite). It's okay with stock kernel but I use agni kernel. Here's a page with many resources for curtana in one place but be careful before installing anything you haven't seen anyone using.
Curtana Premium
Almost forgot... You can use gcam for slightly more detailed photos than miui camera. There are numerous versions. Check out curtana photography in telegram. Personally I only use gcam for raw images. But for quick shots that you won't be doing pixel peeping on, stock camera is enough.

Hello ftriends, I'm a little confused, are all the ROMs on CurtanaGang valid for the international, European version of the phone? I am very interested in this. I have a new Redmi Note 9 pro bought in Romania. Thanks

That website is not known to a lot of people. Roms made for miatoll will work on your phone. Be careful to NEVER install a rom that's made for curtana only.
The roms listed usually have a support or discussion page linked so look for it. Information in the changelogs can also help you decide. Just make sure that you confirm a rom will work on your phone. The installation guide or the rom thread will usually tell which phone the rom is made for. Look for it and post questions there if possible.
Oh! You said you have a new phone... Don't do anything regarding flashing ROMs before you unlock the bootloader.

I know I must not sign out from Mi account, don't reset phone...etc... but nothing, same 168 hours to wait... I don't know what to do anymore... any advice is welcome! Thank you.

I used these instructions to unlock my bootloader. My phone came with miui 11 but these instructions should work with Miui 12 also.

Thanks again @twistyplain, I know all these steps to unlock ... it doesn't work unlocked. My phone came with MIUI-11 but it was updated to MIUI-12. Probably because the SIM card is not activated on their server (server error ... etc) and is not activated after restart, reset (three times!). Maybe it will work with another SIM card...I'll try it...

I think that's the problem. You must make sure that the sim card to be activated is able to send an international SMS (Mandatory) and it should (maybe) be the active data sim. When you try to activate it make sure you're using mobile data using that Sim card to be safe. Also, try to activate it without another Sim installed.
My primary Sim card activated properly the first time but Sim 2 has never successfully activated. Every time I reboot it tries to activate Sim 2 but always fails. I just wait for it to fail and clear the error message because it affects nothing.

Use debloated miui 11. Good roms are MIUI eu 11.0.11 and MiuiMix 11.0.11 (favorite).

Hi there, so where can i found those?
I'm on the same train, i'm searching a debloated firmware for my new 9 pro.
From what i gather through forums and posts is that the Havoc-OS is the custom firmware+official with the less issues, unless those you mention are better.
I searched both rom subforums but i can't find them.
The closest i find is this which for some weird reason doesn't have as many posts as one could expect Lol
[ROM]-MiuiMiX_2.2.0_joyeuse-[Android 10 - MIUI 12]
I'm not involved in MiuiMiX team nor its development. I only love and would like to share this fantastic work. Hope you enjoy it. * Your warranty is... still valid? * * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear...

Havoc is AOSP meaning it is based on vanilla Android (not miui). It has a large thread on xda so you can browse that to know about the rom. Official means that it's the one recognized by havoc os developers -- not that it's in any way affiliated with xiaomi. The AOSP rom that most people agree is better than most is Evolution X. However, better than other AOSP roms doesn't mean it's better than miui based ROMs. I always use roms based on stock hence the reason i recommend them. They're generally more stable and require much less effort to get going.
Regarding the source of MiuiMix, you can follow the telegram link in the thread you just posted just under "We follow also other devices, you can know more and update in our telegram channel". I won't repost the link because I'm not sure it's even allowed. When you get there search for your device codename. For instance mine is curtana so i just type #curtana in the search box snd i see a list of the roms released for my device.
Miui eu has a dedicated website so look for it.

Thank you for all the info!
Yeah, i think i will go the same root and use MiuiMix which is a stock based rom, that's why i asked where did you get the ones with miui 11 since i can't find them on sourceforge.(there is only a curtana 11.0.9)
I think i made up my mind and since i have joyeuse i will go with the MiuiMix miui 12 pointed in the thread linked above.

Good choice. Im using it right now. It seems to be a nice rom. Better than eu in ram management. Dark theme has some bugs but I don't use it because it has no energy saving for ips display.

Hi, i'm waiting for official Pixel Experince custom rom for the Redmi note 9 pro (joyeuse), I asked them on their twitter account they told me to wait, you can do the same it will convince them to do

Go here and search for #curtana
You'll see the ROMs posted for your phone. There are five so far.

I upgraded to MiuiMix 12.0.2 and it's been perfect for almost three weeks now. I don't use dark mode because it's the only bug i know to exist with this rom. And I can't blame the MiuiMix devs because it's a xiaomi fault.

May I ask if you use wifi calling and if so does it work as well with MiuiMix as it does with Miui ?
