Can anyone explain to me what the difference is between all those Miui builds? I just got mine (I live in the Netherlands and bought it at a local store) and its running 'MIUI Global 10.1.3.0 stable' from the box.
Should i, or is it worth upgrading or downgrading to something else? However the heck that works? XD
I'm not new in rom hacking, i owned a Moto G5 Plus (Potter) before this one. But this phone is really something different. Lol.

Just live your life. If you notice major problems with the current miui, then consider changing stuff. It's too much of a hassle anyway..

I would suggest just to wait for the 10.2.2.0 update. Its being rolled out now, you should get it any moment.
I, personally, am still at MIUI, only unlocked bootloader and rooted in order to be able to apply Google camera fix patch and to enable notifications in the notch area.
Oh, also installed AdAway to get rid of the ads. This one requires root, too.
Switched to Lawnchair launcher.
Quite happy with it at the moment.
Cheers.

Same reasons, give or take.
Well, first of all, I cannot decide which one. Second, I'm being lazy since have already set all the apps and layout and what not.
Also, xiaomi promised some great miui update in February. Wanna see what they got.

Well ive been out the loop for a month or so. But a while back Xiaomi were making a big fuss about 8.2 about to come out... Redmi note 4 will get it by the end of feb....
I just got back and put my phone online.... and no new updates. Still running 8.1.4.0...
Was 8.2 pulled?
You have to check if you Rom is xiaomi official one, many shops put some fake miuis so that could be a reason. By the way miui 8.2 is what made me switch to lineage because in miui 8.2 there was a bug in fingerprint sensor where sometimes the unlock wouldn't work and led you to lock screen so you had to press 2 times the fingerprint sensor.

No 8.2 for MTK variant yet.
ohh so its not actually out yet...
I didnt really want to go with a third party rom like lineage as much as im sure its great, simply because I use banking apps... and my one actively blocks root phones.

Lineage OS is for Snapdragon varient, just saying. If you have the Snapdragon varient, they might already have 8.2.
Where did you read that 8.2 will be relased by end of the februar?
Sadly no im on MTK...
And i read it on the MIUI forums when they announced it... They cant be dropping support the MTK already? (though i guess it wouldnt surprise me) Android security patches are... well theres been a few since feb...
Is there any work for lineage to be ported to mtk?
I only rooted my old LG P500 dinosaur because it never go upgraded. Came with Froyo. Before it died, I was running Kitkat omnirom, apps that were not supposed to be on it, quite well. Xposed, of course.
I have gotten two upgrades already on my Note 4. Have 8.1.7. So I am staying stock for now. Want to see Nougat running on this thing, though the UX will not change so much.
BTW, certain setup features that seem to be missing on Miui are still there. One can get them using QuickShortcutMaker. Goodies like app management and setting home launcher, many more listed!
your on 8.1.7? im still on 8.1.4 and the updater still says no new updates... what is going on?
Am i missing something?

Still not sure what's going on with the official updates, as the version available for download from the miui site is 8.0.4.0. There have been a few subsequent versions that went up but were taken down again, due to stability issues (i think). I've seen the official China ROM had an update to 8.2 (still based off marshmallow), but it seems like it needs some further work as it's a bit buggy.

I went to WETA for customization and the aroma installer had a bunch of stuff I could choose from, rooting in general it's just something I've been doing since my first Android phone, I'm amazed at what I can do with basically complete control, as I say to my friends that don't know what root is, if I want to do something I more than likely can, music didn't sound good enough to me so I installed viper4android music sounds amazing and I couldn't go back to stock, I wanted my battery to last longer so I installed greenify to force doze when I turn my screen off so I can get iPhone levels of standby drain, also it's just something fun to do there's always new stuff going on, Xposed just got released officially a few days ago and I honestly can't wait to see what comes of it.

Yeah i had started with the VS995 Verizon variant when I first went to the V20.. but after we switched to MetroPCS (via TMobile service).. I noticed that without all of the GSM bands.. my connection was HORRIBLE.. plus I did not have the WIFI calling / SMS features... so I switched to the H918 variant... SO Glad I did.. love the knowledge I could unlock my bootloader.. and it seems to have some of the default features that Verizon had locked out... IE FM Radio.. etc..
right now i'm on the 10q software.. so not sure if i'm locked out of anything or if thats still able to root / unlock and flash safely.

Hey does anyone know if installing open Kirin on the US variant of this phone will work? Their site does not show BLA-A09 as supported, but I am curious if anyone has gotten it to work.
My reason for this is because obviously the US version lacks software support.

What else would I lose besides wifi hotspot? Are there any noticeably annoying bugs? I am looking for a strong daily driver. The lack of support on stock is not cutting it for me.
Can I flash from patch .119 c567?
Also is LOS 8.0 or 8.1? Battery better/worse? Camera quality? Root possible?
As for updates how do they go? (coming from a previous lineage version) Just flash the newer system image over the old one?
It appears openkirin gives monthly updates for this device which makes me really happy. Please let me know I am very interested!

You can flash from whatever rom your on but you will loose data so make sure you backup first cause it's not a upgrade it's a complete rom reflash.Camera works but you get no bokeh effects and there is a delay switching between modes.Battery life is reduced but performance is much better.
I'm possibly interested in this as well. As a US user on 119, I know that there are options. Pie roms even exist, though something tells me that they won't work on our variant.

Hi Justintime,
i'll just copy the text from another forum:
China Build (CN)
The China Build doesn't contain Google Apps and Services (GAPPS) and contains some Chinese apps and services, which according to some is called bloatware, but for Chinese people those are actually very useful. The problem of not having GAPPS can be easily solved by heading to this thread:Find all the Google Apps in Google installer! Just install the app then in it contains all the Google apps, Google Service Frameworks, Google Account Manager and Google Play Services necessary for you to use it as a full fledged normal Android phone. China ROMs usually comes with more features than Global ROMs, as they have no conflicting copyrights issues and have less restrictions than the Global market. There will be certain elements of Chinese within, as translation work might not be absolutely complete for certain parts of the ROM. Also, Google integration via installation through applications might be imperfect and could cause issues.
Global Build (MI)
Preferred by most global users, this build comes with full GAPPS without the Chinese apps and services. Usually updated at a later period than the China build, the Global Build comes with English as the default language, with multilanguages for certain devices. In exchange for full GAPPS, users lose some features such as online music and Xunlei download accelerator, but gains some more usable storage space. The Global Build usually comes with only Stable ROMs, but the Redmi 1S is the first devices to receive a Global Developer Build. Today, nearly every internationally-launched device by Xiaomi has a Global Developer ROM. You get a native GAPPS integration, but loses on some functionalities, still a pretty good trade-off for many as installing GAPPS on a China ROM might still give problems with use of Google services. The other significant benefit over the China ROM is the language packs within (which is one of the reasons MIUI Global ROMs are usually bigger in size than MIUI China ROMs), which is great as many prefer their native tongue over English.
to tell you simple: xiaomi.eu rom combines all advatages of both roms in one

There won't be.
Just curious, was debating picking up the Explorer Edition from Giztop, but will it's slightly different hardware cause problems for custom ROM's etc?
I got my Transparent version (Explorer Edition) yesterday. I had to go get a new sim card because the sim card holder in my S7 is broken and won't open. Cricket was a nightmare to deal with and tried to tell me the phone won't work with US carriers. They also kept telling me the IMIE was one short, which a quick google search (while at the store) explained to me, we had to look it up via the dialer and not in the settings screens. After that drama, I had to move everything over manually from the S7 as it didn't have GAPPS and didn't auto sync from the S7. So far like the phone, but am not a big fan of MIUI. I requested it be unlocked and now have to wait a boatload of time before I can remove the ROM that came with it. It sucks that the AI button is going to be useless for a while.
Nova launcher is working great though so far. I am not a big fan of how the notification bar works (I think I would like a two row option, lol) and for some reason gmail notification doesn't include the subject line. I also am mississing having the middle button at the bottom (of the screen) to wake the phone up. It's nice that they provided a case, but I wish it wasn't dark tint as it hides the cool back side of the Explorer Edition and I also would wish it was thick enough so the camera didn't stick out a little. If anyone has found a good clear TPU type case that is thicker, please do share/tell. Last, I am going to miss the notification light changing colors like it does on the S7, but overall its an awesome phone.

even after unlocking bootloader (2 weeks, so mid-April) there still wont be any Custom ROMS available for this phone (except for the slight variations of the MIUI Official\EU\China Firmware) ..I would suspect nice Roms like Syberia will come in June at soonest.. maybe even July.
I myself also bought my mi9 WAYY too early and now regret it.. Should have waited a few more months when Development starts and I also may have gotten it cheaper later
(I installed Syberia on my Mix 2 immediately after getting it and unlocking it -which I also bought for just 249 a year ago- because the phone was already out many months.. I wont be able to do that with mi9 ;-(

Whilst there aren't many custom roms, it's still cool to be able to root and install Magisk, along with xposed too! You can tweak quite a bit with this, adblock, viper4android, substratum theme, debloat etc
Development is fun and believe me I miss it too, but we get weekly updates from roms like the EU rom, which has additional features and debloated too.
Give it a chance. Definitely early days, but we already have a great gcam port and whilst not many roms, it's just a matter of time surely

I am probably one of the only people that liked the Samsung dialer (lol). You can still use the Google dialer, I found an apk here on xda that works with our Mi9 EE. I never used that, I like a dialer that opens with the dialer screen, which is appears the Google one doesn't.

Just throwing this out there, I recently picked up a P20 Lite here in Canada through a carrier deal, admittedly it is a downgrade from my last phone regardless not the point of my post. I have never owned a phone that I didn't unlock the bootloader, root and install a custom ROM, until now (I'm too cheap even for the $5-$10 it costs to unlock.
Here's my question. With the state of custom roms for this phone is it really worth it? I have the 9.1 update, remove all the bloatware through ADB, install a decent launcher, happy with the camera and battery life. I do miss the familiarity of Lineage/Cy but can live with it. Am I missing anything earth shattering, again it goes against my core not to hack, but also to pay ?.
