Hello all,
I am looking for a stable fully functional rom for my 3GB/64GB Helium.
I have tried Miui - but when I found out that there are (major) issues with using a smart watch (or more specifically with android wear and notifications) I decided to look for other options (as my watch has to work!)
I am trying now Lineage for Helium - what other options would I have?
What would you all recommend?
Thank you for any suggestions...
I use RR 5.7.4, I have zero problems with it.
I use Global Beta 7.1.19, I have zero problems with it )))

I tried the global ROM and had several issues when using my smart watch:
the silence / DND toggles are mixed up ( I select "silent" and it triggers "DND" on the phone)
no notifications of any kind arrived on my watch.
I did some search and found no solution (other than others confirming they had the same problem).
If I cannot use my watch with the phone then it is a no go.
Or are you successfully using an Android Wear watch - can you please tell me how?
"I use RR 5.7.4, I have zero problems with it."
Thank you for the reply. Do you use by any chance a smart watch as well ? Do notifications work?
sorry, i don't us smart watch.
I'm using the Xiaomi.EU Rom.
https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
I've also rooted and xposed without much problem. While I'm interested in LineageOS, Xiaomi.EU Roms are much better than the official ROMs and the development team is excellent.
I hope someone can help. I restored it with an official rom but for some reason there is no sound as it boots up. Is there any way to enable this? Thanks for any help.

Hello dinkmack,
Indeed, at least two issues so far are related to sound in 3 last Android 6.0 OTA updates for M2-801L model (EU versions) :
- No boot sound anymore, even with all sound options activated (only a small vibration is emitted during starting logo screen
- Touch sound / keyboard typing sound remains active even though all related options have been deactivated.
For both of the above at least, I'm still looking for (official) solutions / workarounds, but none found so far.
If found, I'll provide another feedback here.
Hope this helps anyhow.
Have a nice day.
Kind Regards.

Hi guys,
is there a way to get into the Google smart lock settings manually?
Unfortunately you will only see this menu by pairing a new bluetooth device, then you will get a popup regarding the smart lock settings.
This has been discussed a lot in the xiaomi forum, xiaomi just removed the frontend from all of their roms.
I tried a few apps like Smart Lock Launcher and Quick Shortcut Maker, but they do not work.
The build in feature in the lockscreen settings is only working for xiaomi devices.
Any solution?
No idea?
You're talking about MIUI? For the relatively short period that I used it, it looked to me as if Xiaomi had completely replaced the Android code with their own version that only worked with Xiaomi devices. I never found a way around it. It's one of the many reasons why I only lasted a couple of weeks on MIUI.
same
Likewise, seems Xiaomi only allows their own devices to be able to smart unlock the phone.
Google smartlock seems to be disabled.
I also don't get google map notifications on my lock screen.
Will be my last xiaomi device unless they fix this soon

Don't really know enough to do that - plus I hate having to tinker with things. Wish I went with the One Plus...only issue I had on my One Plus 5T was the issues with the sound recording on third party apps
On MIUI EU I found that if you pair a bluetooth device it gives you the option to enable smart lock for it then you can press back and setup smart lock for onbody / location however smart lock doesn't work.
Even when connected to the bluetooth device / at home etc it still wants a pin if you just try and swipe up.
Pretty disappointing

Yeah, if I'd bought this and was stuck on MIUI, I'd be pretty unhappy. Have you tried it with one of the supported Xiaomi headset devices?

That's what makes me leave miui every time, you can install smart unlock from play store, everything looks like it's going to work but it doesn't.

It's like night & day being back on stock Android. As soon as I started using the PE rom I was overcome with an immense sense of relief, I'd been starting to wonder if I'd made a very expensive mistake by buying the MM3.
Just seeing on openkirin.net that Honor View 20 seems to be supported. Did anyone try?

Tried RR Beta 1 and OmniRom Beta 2. Really liked both of them but had a few issues:
-Camera (app) is worse than stock
-No rise to wake (or comparable)
-No wake screen for notifications as far as i remember (really grown attached to it)
-Bluetooth issues, cannot connect to my Jabra Elite 65ts
Especially the Bluetooth thing is a big problem for me. At the moment i'm staying with stock EMUI + root since you can just reflash the stock recovery_ramdisk and then update normally.

I heard normal treble RR rom's should also work and be more stable. Maybe you can give it a try.
For treble modified cam can be an option https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/huawei-stock-camera-app-treble-roms-t3735169

Not gonna change OS again for a while. Problem is, there is not a lot development going on for the Honor View 20. Most probably due to missing bootloader unlock codes...

Have not had the update to 9.1 yet. There are like 2 to 3 months between updates for me, which is pretty slow.
So far I would definitely prefer stock android (as in RR for example) over magic though...

Redmi note 5 pro AI miui 12
Hi, I have a few questions about miui 12 RN5 pro AI
This is my only device, so I can't flash the xiaomi.eu and test it.
1. The android still version 9 Pie in miui 12, so does it come with privacy protection ?
2. Does it include the features Virtual ID in privacy protection ?
3. If xiaomi global / china already reach the final rom version and no support anymore, does that mean xiaomi.eu will stop updating the rom too ?
Tbh, I just want the privacy protection features, it looks awesome :good:
We can give access to app permission only while using the app, and disable them to use the permission in background is great.
I just want to give online banking to use permission all the time, and other application only while I am using it
Yes it does come with privacy protection
Yes Eu roms will be stopped after Xiaomi stop releases for whyred (as Eu builds are based on China stable/weekly

Does Virtual ID included too ?
Have u ever used lineage os before ?
How is the privacy guard / trust compared to privacy protection in miui 12 ? Kinda curious :highfive:

Yeah i have tried Los, but I wasn't impressed with it.
The privacy protection is much improved and implementation is also good.
I was fooled by this as I was using the rom and whenever i tried to register on Banking apps "No sim card card error was popping", after searching on xda i found that this privacy feature blocks imei and sim card acesss to ? apps and u have to manually change it.

Right now I am more focusing to privacy because I get hacked a few times before, well at least I learnt a lot after getting hacked :highfive:
Lineageos trust only can allow, deny and ask everytime
Meanwhile privacy protection in miui can allow, deny,ask everytime, or only use permission while in-app, that's huge + already.
Can't wait for the miui 12 on whyred global. I hate to changing rom again because it breaks a lot of my apps, most of them crashed, stopped after restored.
The worst is one of my banking apps can't backed up, and the bank is not available in my town, I need to use hard token and get it fixed when I travel again :crying:

Well this is gonna be a long story, but the most important thing is never use weak password.
1. Check at https://haveibeenpwned.com , see which one of ur email already got breached in the site, if u got breached, and use the same password for all account, u are dead :good: , that's why I am using password manager and generated unique long, strong, mix password for every account, if one of account breached, the rest will be fine. Bitwarden is the best to go :fingers-crossed: and I am gonna using keepass for now, just search a lot on internet which password manager u want and comparison, bitwarden and keepass just my own preference and experience :good:
2. When you search on the internet, what's the best antivirus for mobile, most people said android don't need antivirus, yeah that's true if you are using app from play store only :silly: , what if u are like me use modded whatsapp, instagram, etc ? First, download from trusted source only such as mobilism, and from truster user only, not some dude that signup today, and u use his mod apk, u are dead too :laugh: , and I don't said u should use antivirus either, but just use the default miui antivirus, at least it scan every apps after installing, then if u really want to use modded facebook, whatsapp, instagram like that, make sure to use 2FA on the account :highfive:
From here on out is the extra tips I suggest.
3. The reason I ask for privacy question here is to prevent some apps using my permission in background, and make sure every apps u installed got the permission it needed only, u don't want a flashlight apps request permission for contact,sms, gps, and u didn't read, and just press ok while installed, u dead once more again :angel:
4. If you really like to use custom rom, make sure to scan with virustotal on every zip u downloaded, u don't want any malware,keylogger attached, I realized many custom rom appeared and some tech wannabe in youtube just recommend this and that saying this rom is the best,etc. You never know if one of them got malware,keylogger,etc. The most suspicious one I have right now is mi globe, it offer a lot of customization based on user preference and based on xiaomi.eu but there's no much mention about it, and they don't allow comment on their site, and no community. It kinda make me curious, why such great rom don't have reviews ?
5. Check this https://www.privacytools.io for a lot of privacy protection, their site includes a lot of thing, adblock,etc, so bad guys don't store and sell your data. And of course more secure :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the information that's very helpful
Peace
is whyred still in MIUI 12 BETA program?
2020-06-23, whyred is still on the MIUI-12-xda-release-list of devices that MIUI 12 is being tested for.
The next update, 2020-07-01 whyred disappeared from that list.
What am I missing here? Are those xiaomi.eu-ROMs only? Has anyone information regarding that? I would love to see MIUI 12 for this phone, miui has improved in every update and the new features look great. Somewhere was mentioned that the gfx will mostly be turned off for this device but the dropdown menu looks better than thatvon an iPhone

There's no official release about miui 12 yet for whyred, probably 1-3 months for global stable release.
And yes, they are probably from xiaomi.eu
Just check where you got the rom, as far I know there's many of them.
Revos, mi globe, mi room, xiaomi.eu, all of them got whyred miui 12
Device reached EOL status (no beta anymore), so they will continue to release only stable roms (every few months).
I'm not sure that there will be miui 13 for this device.

Unfortunately, I do not understand what you meant.
How can you be sure there will be an official update for whyred anyway ?
I interpret the disappearance of whyred from the beta/stable ROMs list that xiaomi just stopped to develop it any further. Why else would they stop testing it? There is a list of reported bugs but no releases that have fixed those.
There are 29 ROMs in development in the main MIUI12-beta/stable-thread and since 2020-06-23 nothing happened in regards to whyred. I know the rule is to not ask any questions about expected release dates but I just wanted to ask more basically:
what does EOL imply? will that be the last MIUI update for it? how reliable is your source regarding a MIUI12 release for whyred at all? I saw the list of devices that should get the MIUI12-update but they stopped to develop it for the Redmi Note 6 Pro, too, despite it being listed in the initial presentation. (reason was brick-rate was too high iirc)
The funniest thing about MIUI update is the option to "get updates sooner" (using native language-own translation). It has never worked and in case you are right in regards to further updates, it will never work.
How did one apply for beta testing of official Xiaomi ROMs ?
If my whyred-display continues to deteriorate I will need to buy a new phone anyway. One cannot read it in clear daylight if the sun burns as it does in Europe at the moment, bleeding from four or five point on the side gets worse and the ghosting with the display gets worse too.
I still like the phone as it served my well over the last two years and still can provide me with every tool I need (ok, the camera is a good point in favor of a new phone- was hoping for the POCO F2 zoom in case POCO can get their hands on the K30pro zoom ed. and rebrand it.)

EOL means End Of Life. Whyred was released back in February 2018 and it was supported till 20th of June of 2020 (I think it's Enough support).
Stable version will be available soon as it is first released for Chinese users then it is made globally.

Expect late 2020 or early 2021. I would recommend you go for custom ROMs.
