How to Save more battery in mi max

Hello everybody,
-I have bought lately used mi max 32GB (Hydrogen) on miui 9.5.2 global stable
-I use my phone for browsing internet and social media-no game-no calls(Data sim)
-I disables (all notifications-led lights-second space-quick ball-etc...)+battery saver+restrict background activity
-I only get 9 hours sot on 3g or 10 hours on wifi+4% or 5% battery drain in idle mode.So downclocking the cpu may help me to save battery
Question:
1-What can I do to save more power in miui 9?
2-I heard of ultra power saving mode is found in miui 8.How can I downgrade to it?Is it helpful?
3-What can I do to save more power using root (custom rom-custom kernel)?
Waiting your feedback

You can't... Ultra power saving is present only with MTK SoC's (& it's still much behind SD). Either switch to older MiUI 8.2~8.3 or to costume ROM.

Thank you for your reply,But I have two questions:
1- How can I downgrade to miui 8 without unlocking bootloader?
I`am now on Global beta Miui 9 -8.4.19
2-How Can I achieve 0% power consumption in idle mode without root?

1. The same way you installed that one & from the same place, just pick older version & download it.
http://en.miui.com/download-302.html
2. You can't it sucks 0.3~0.5% per h.

1-I installed miui 9 Global beta 8.4.19 using updater app.Can I install miui global stable 8 using the same way?
Because Some people say you should use mi flash +edl mode
2-I used before another phone(alcatel pixi 4 power)+greenify without root ,and I could achieve 0% or 1% at maximum in 15 continuous hours in idle mode
I don`t know why it doesn't work well in miui 9?
note:-I disables (all notifications-led lights-second space-quick ball-etc...)+battery saver+restrict background activity
3-Is there any app that can disable everything in mobile (calls-sms-notifications-wakelocks-background apps-any other feature)?
Because I don`t use mobile at all for at least 15 hours daily!!

1. Depends on availability Mi recovery or Mi flash package available.
For more we do costume ROM's around hire with root & unlocked bootloader.

Which you can get when you: unlock boot loader, root, flash a costume ROM & take a control of the phone. In the meanwhile address your complaints to the one's in charge on the official MIUI forum. This is costume ROM's community and we wouldn't make our efforts if we were really satisfied with what OEM's offered.

A) Nope. So called "ultra power saving mode" is tied to vendor not MIUI or Android version.
The MIUI 8.3 is based on the Android 6 and whose one of the better firmware releases regarding battery life. That's why I recommend it in the first place.
B) it's MTK own frequency scheduler set of restrictions ment to extend the battery life but in generally their SoC's are less efficient than Snapdragons. Only Sony has an rather good "Ultra power saving mode" included in their firmwares and disregarding of the SoC vendor.
C# Unlock the boot loader, root, make recovery & kernel backup with flashify (or something similar), install latest unofficial TWRP by nijel8, flash the unofficial LineageOS 14.1 by nijel8, latest firmware & Open Gapps (micro or pico), install the script of your choice from power/performance thread (post no#5) & let it boot. In settings enable the hotplug option, reboot and enjoy. This end's this discussion for me.

Quick Snap Mode

I am using Global Stable ROM v9.6.1.0, the Quick Snap Mode in MIUI Camera disappears. Is there any MOD that can enable the Quick Shot Mode?

I have replaced the MIUI Camera app come with the global stable rom with that from Chinese rom, the quick snap mode appeared again.
Work with MIUI 10 global stable.

You can use Root Explorer or other similar apps to replace MiuiCamera.apk under /system/priv-app/MiuiCamera with the attached file. You must have your phone rooted for this operation.

Does this also apply to the Poco M3 global version? Thank you!

wew very quick tho... Gonna install this when my brother's Poco M3 will arrive... He's an IPhone SE 2020 user and just purchased Poco M3 because he thought the smoothness of the X3 (its 120hz Refresh Rate) (I have Poco X3) will be the same on the M3... he's really obsessed with my X3 tho because i dunno... I was really shocked when he asked me whats the review of the M3, it is good and something like that and finally he said to me he purchased it online like it was nuts! Hahaha
I hope he will not be disappointed by the camera of the Poco M3 and its capabilities...
btw² how you managed to make a debloated rom of Poco M3 afterall like it was released just 1 week ago?

Coming from a phone that have an A13 Bionic chipset, that was on the last year Iphone flagships to a Poco M3 that have a midrange SD662 from 2019 (technically it's from January 2020, but the performance is equal to SD660 and SD665 from 2019 midranges), will be quite a shock in performance for your brother.
POCO M3 is nothig like the POCO X3, i am sure that your brother was tempted by the 120hz RR, the Poco M3 as peer the reviews cant even push the 1080P screen to display 60FPS.

Haha As writing on this time, my brother has now refused to receive his order online because he was so frustrated that its not as fast as the Poco X3 after viewing MKHBHD's review and he has just shared it to his friends girlfriend so there will be no time wasted ordering again.

Just installed this ROM yesterday. So far the performance is pretty good, I've even rooted with Magisk to debloat further and for some modules I use. The only issue is excluding the dark theme from certain apps, but after searching online it seems to be a known MIUI 12 problem and I was able to work around it.

Great always great roms by eu. Will install as soon as I unlock my bootlaoader hopefuly in a week

Here's the full instructions. https://www.thecustomdroid.com/inst...hing-magisk-patched-boot-image-using-fastboot
After you install the EU rom just follow method 2. You can find the stock boot img inside the EU rom zip file in the firmware-update folder. Just make sure your Magisk app is set to the stable branch v 20.4 I'm not sure if the betas are reliable yet.

When you flash the xiaomi.eu rom, it will replace your current ROM. So whatever if you have a global or european one, it will be replaced with xiaomi.eu.
So it doesn't matter the rom you have, it will work.

Question Current Version of Mi Camera? MIUI 13.0.8

Hi Guys!
I just realized that the Camera version installed on my F3 running MIUI 13.0.8 seems to be older than what can be found on other APK websites, could you please confirm your current camera Version?
Mine is 4.3.003960.5
Thanks!!

I *think* we are not supposed to manually update the MIUI Camera ourselves, but rather I think we should let the ROM handle it.
It works, but one time I updated to a MIUI Camera version and it had a Leica-Theme (White/Red UI Theme). That specific version was probably meant for that one Xiaomi phone with Leica-branded camera.
Also another time I noticed that a MIUI Camera update I installed, had Quick Snapshot Mode removed. The feature where you could press Volume-Down for ~4 seconds while screen is off, to take a picture.
But yes, I think we by default run older MIUI Camera version.
To be honest tho, I think you can just go ahead and update it, if you want. ^^

Question Poco F3 EU Rom Beta + Android Auto + FERMATA Auto Problems...

Hello,
I would like to ask a question about a subject that I have been dealing with for weeks.
I have been using Eu beta rom on all my Xiaomi devices for many years. And now i'm using Poco F3 with EU Beta (lastest)..
About 1 month ago, I bought myself a car with Android Auto support. Eu rom is working fine except 1 issue on car screen. There are several programs on the multimedia device that can be used to play the screen of the mobile phone and/or the files on the connected mobile phone. The most famous and beautiful employee (youtube and web browser supports) is a program called FERMATA Auto . When installing this FERMATA Auto on the phone, it is necessary to install a tool with the installer program so that it does not get stuck in google blocks. However, although I have done all these correctly, FERMATA Auto does not appear on the vehicle screen while it is working properly on the phone. Other programs that do similar tasks don't work either. Although I tried dozens of times, I couldn't run it, and when I installed and tried this FERMATA on another xiaomi device, it worked on my first try. So I tried switching from eu beta to eu stable to see if the problem is with my device or the rom, but it still didn't work. When I installed Pixel expirence and tried it on the same day, it worked again on my first try. I think there is something in the rom that is preventing this. Especially because of call recording and continuous support, I don't plan to switch to another rom other than EU rom.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
