About MIUI Rom - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

Will it is a wise decision to flash MIUI china beta rom from MIUI indian global rom??

Why to do this ?

as global rom is not regularly updated

IMHO, It's not worth it ! If the phone is working fine now, leave it that way !

well I tried chinese beta rom few weeks back because I just have a nack for beta versions lol..anyway..the only thing I had to deal with was the huge amount of bloatware(even more than global roms)..full of chinese crap..and even file manager and themes app ask for IMEI and IMSI permissions...also it doesn't have google apps installed so you have to flash gapps separately(not an issue for me though)..now if you wanna stay on china rom then I recommend uninstalling all the bloatware and even file manager and then use file manager by xiaomi.inc from play store(or any other file manager)..Only other issue you will face is all the bloatware will come back after updating your rom so you have to remove everything and flash gapps all over again..
For this reason I suggest you use some other miui based rom preferably EU[no not the stock eu... find eu rom here](stable or beta is your choice)..EU stable rom is based on china stable and beta one is based on china beta. It'll have all features of china rom, debloated and much more customization, tweaks and optimization..other miui based roms include miui mix,mi room,mi novo, revolution os miui.
Hope it helps.

Global Developer 7.5.25

Hi everyone!
I have a Mi 5s with MIUI v8.2.1.0 (MAGMIDL, Global Stable), but I want to switch to a Nougat ROM.
I saw on the official site (http://en.miui.com/download-314.html#465) MIUI v7.5.25 (Global Developer), but I have few question about that:
Which language are included? I need Italian
How can I install it over my current ROM?
In case Italian is not present... could you suggest me a good and stable (enough for daily use, with FingerPrint working and a decent battery life) Nougat ROM? I don't mind if it is MIUI or not. I can unlock bootloader too if needed, but I would prefer to keep it locked.
Thank you in advance!! Have a nice day!
Hi...in the first....that 7.5.25 build is based still on android 6....and yes it have italian cuse its global dev rom....Now xiaomi is testing the android 7 for our devices....but if you want Miui on 7....you can do like me....unlock your bootloader, chaange to TWRP Recovery, go to xiaomi.eu website and download latest weekly rom for mi5s....it is based on android 7.0, it is verrryyyy stable and have the 3d touch feature....
Thank you! Think I'll go with your solution!

Latest MIUI version? - is Xiaomi.EU good?

Well, i recently bought this phone, already applied to unlock bootloader but i have to wait a week, so in the meantime i'm learning about roms based on xiaomi and custom roms...
My main concern is, i'm running MIUI Global 11.0.3 | Stable | 11.0.3(PCOIDXM) with security patch from 2020-01-01. I saw other guys with newers MIUI versions than mine, so i found about Xiaomi.EU, i read it is the best MIUI rom but i would like to get some recommendations...
Also, my main objective is to get an stable rom with good battery usage, having root and maybe install xposed with magisk but this last is not that important.
I 'm also confused about if when i charge Xiaomi EU to my phone will it keep receiving OTA? or what should i do in case i want to go back and be able to receive OTA?
Las question is, i found this site https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/20-3-19.54975/ and the last version is xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote8_20.3.19_v11-9.zip, is it compatible with all variants of Xiaomi RN8?, i found that there are 2 RN8 versions, a Global Version and an Indonesian version, comparing MIUI version i think i have and indonesian version, does the variant is important in case i want to use xiaomi eu?
Ohh, i see a did a lot of question but i post this in the hope that you guys can help this newbie to tweak his RN8

Actually RN8 has not 2 but 4 versions; Global, Chinese, Indonesian and Indian.
You can use it on any RN8 unlocked version no matter regions, it's set to global.
Since years I'm using Xiaomi.eu ROMs and over other MIUI based ROMs it's way better, great battery performance.
This ROM ever has the latest security patch updates cause is built over the Chinese version.
And regarding OTA updates; Xiaomi.eu ROMs have weekly updates.
What about the Dialer and Messaging apps? Is it the stock MIUI one or the Google ones?

honestly it doesn't have the latest security patch versions....they use old ones and advertise newest....latest beta version for example use security patches from September and they change it in build.prop so that in phone settings it says latest march/april whatever security patch...following are the two lines :
Code:
ro.build.version.security_patch=
ro.build.version.security_patch_real=

I didn't mind that they do that, I would expect from other non reliable site to do such bad practice, many people trust in their. I didn't check from the other ROMs that are based on their too, eg., Mi Globe, etc. Let me ask you how do you know or you have some source regarding to share with us?

I know because I'm using EU beta myself..so my source which is me..is never wrong..I don't trust other websites etc too...other miui roms like miui mix,minovo,mi room etc are all built on EU so they have the same thing..old security patch..advertised as new one.

Apart from the weekly securtiy patches, is it any better than the indian rom (11.0.3) for the note 8?
Secondly, is the Indian version really behind in software updates from the global version (in terms of changes and security patches) or is it just the numbering of the versions different?

Well like I mentioned in my previous replies, you won't get any weekly patches or monthly patches for that matter...EU uses september security patch and changes build.prop so that it appears latest in phone settings...among other things it is better than stock rom (indian,global,etc etc) as it's debloated,optimized,deodexed and tweaked a lil bit..also it has all features included in china roms every week so that is cool...it also has all ads removed...although I debloat more..sure you can debloat and do everything else on your indian rom too but you have to wait for stable builds for long and you gotta repeat the debloating all over again everytime you update...
regarding difference between indian and global...mainly it is the miui apps on indian rom and google apps on global..also a bit of themes and stuff on indian and wifi calling on global...rest it's all same....don't go on the numbering of versions too much...it's all the same with a bit of this and that difference like I said.

Here's the thing..Most miui custom roms like miui mix,minovo,miroom etc etc are all based on eu so they don't have updated security patches....try aosp based roms or stick to stock roms if you really want updated security patches..
i like miui eu

You guys should go for miglobe.com rom. Based in miui.eu with cuztomizations to be baked in the rom that you can choose by yourself. Really cool!

Can confirm this ROM is better than the stock. But don't build it with magisk, it bootlooped for me, just flash it after. The beta seems to have new features to, such as when installing apps, you get options to clear cache or delete the APK file if it's sideloaded. You also need orangefox recovery, didn't work with twrp when I tried.

They dropped so early, the bricks issues were solved without almost any risk following the proper steps and all the anti-brick files are there. I didn't find nothing based on Android 10 but only in Pie, this is the recovery to use for https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-5OlIttlKKI82_AD3q6WFaI0J34pfbDe/view and this is the ROM https://mega.nz/file/9BIiQQzL#YKRjCr5tQCb6LcKluKpVl2BsQaZ2e6jD2W-IoN-afhE
I don't know if some of them is the same version but through this tool https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/ you'll found the Xiaomi.eu v11.0.2.0 stable and the Xiaomi.eu developer 9.11.21
I'm currently using the Indonesian v12.0.2.0, rooted, debloated unnecessary apps and is smooth so far, I used Xiaomi.eu by years but I don't miss it at all.

ok so basically there isnt any other rom based on android 10 i needed to ask one more thing can i flash global stable or china beta in my indian variant because the indian variant lacks nfc and a slight change so will the global rom effect the device or is it safe?

A guy here is claiming to have a Miui Pro ROM based on Android 10 https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/xiaomi-eu-hmnote8pro-mtk-begonia-support.53542/post-522711 and asking to Google this is the result https://forum.miuipro.info/viewtopic.php?t=4432&start=200 I didn't checked my self so is a downgrade (not interested).
As per flashing a firmware for other variant you can flash the global (also the EEA included), the Indonesian too, I don't recommend the China version BUT as far as I know the indian version came without NFC capabilities to hardware level and i found someone more that say the same https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/how-to/guide-redmi-note-8-pro-megathread-t4056527

Question [Poco F3][MIU13] Why no custom ROMs are using the latest firmware from MIUI ?

Hi, I've seen most ROMs recommend firmware from MIUI 12.5.x and not the latest is there any reason for that ? Does the latest firmware could break something ? Or lead to weird bugs/new bugs ?
A11 miui based roms have hit their end of life for the most part (12.5.19) almost all the bugs have been worked out and is very stable. Imo, as well as many others, the A12 based miui roms are sometimes if not always missing import features such as face unlock (at the time of writing this). The A12 based roms, imo, are not the most stable roms for the poco f3 atm (I've tried both, and ended up sticking to 12.5.19 xiaomi EU stable)

Additionally, if you look at the Firmware Updater thread the Global firmware is still 12.5.x.

Oh interesting so we're kind of a lab test for the new firmware in EEA, I thought China would have been the test case first and then they would deploy it to others ROMs (Indian, EEA, Global, etc.) once it is stable enough

Question Suggestion for a Custom ROM for Mi11x

Hi All,
I have a Mi Device Mi11x from India. With help from users on this forum I was able to install custom Miui EU ROM in my device back in May 2021. Have been updating the device with the updates till Miui EU 12.5.18.0. Post that two more updates got released with Miui 13 being released too but the present issue is that the developers have removed support for Mi 11x devices aka aliothin devices since May 2022 released updates.
My query is that now that I want to keep my device updated, how should I proceed further? I installed custom MIui EU ROM by replacing Miui official ROM because now Miui Indian ROM doesnt come with Mi Dialler and Mi Messaging app which I find very useful for my usage. The default Google Dialer and Messaging app is too complex and unuseful for me.
Hence please help me as to which ROM should I install so that I have Miui Dialer n messaging apps. Or can I install any custom ROM and can I get Miui Dialler and messaging app installed separately??

Miui dialer only works with Miui os.
Some AOSP(especially the vanilla versions) roms have the call recorder.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/xiaomi-poco-f3-xiaomi-mi-11x-redmi-k40.12161/?prefix_id=33
xiaomi.eu rom is the best if you want miui features. i switched to eu rom because of the same reasons i.e. the miui dialer, msg app and removing the bloatware.
you can try the latest V13.0.7.0 which is a recovery rom.

But they removed support for Mi 11x which is a aliothin device. They remove code for aliothin. And bcoz of which installing the latest eu rom created certain issues in Mi 11x.

Not just for the call recording feature but for unlimited call logs feature. I like the miui Dialer and Mi messaging app the best. Then there is Notes, gallery and Mi File explorer. I mean overall I like the Miui.
Now thinking to go for Indian Poco F4 5G which is universally the same released everywhere and shouldn't be a problem to get a EU ROM for the same.
There is EU rom for alioth. They are based on Chinese miui version. Aliothin is basically the Indian variant. But you can flash any region. And yes even I had issues with EU v13 rooms which is why I'm still on v12.5.
Hi all,
Thanks for everyone who has been active on my thread. My question is can I install the indonesia ROM over Miui EU ROM. The present Miui EU ROM I am on is Miui 12.5 version 12.5.18.0 RKHCNXM Stable. I guess this was a fastboot ROM.
How should I proceed with installing official Miui Indonesia ROM over Miui EU ROM without loosing data. Or what should I do to keep my data while changing ROM. The latest Miui Indonesia ROM is V13.0.2.0.SKHIDXM which is based on Android 12. I am on MIui EU ROM 12.5.18.0.RKHCNXM which is based on Android 11.
Please guide me. I want to be on latest software updates but badly need Miui Dialer n messaging apps.

Changing version involves the loss of data.
