It's a beta, so i don't recommand you to install it for daily use. And i have just installed it on my phone, so i don't know if there are bugs for the moment.

You're welcome. The stable build will be available normally in June for the china and Xiaomi.eu versions, and later in the year for the Gloabl one.

Sure, I have installed it by this way. But if you have a Global or European MI 9, you must delete the compatibility.zip file in the rom file.

This file check if you have the china version of the mi 9, so if you have the global/european one you will get an error. So it's important to delete it (don't worry, it will works), to do that, you just have to open the miui_CEPHEUS_20.4.27_2b15191b0e_10.0.zip file with an unarchiver like winrar or even the windows 10 file explorer. Then you can find and delete the compatibility.zip file.
For the stability, i didn't find any bug for the moment, everything is supersmooth. Anyway it's a china version, so some features are only in china (like mi ai a Google assistant replacant in China), and the languages available are basically Chinese and English. And you have to enable manually the Google services, play store, ...). So if you prefere to have a version without chinese only features and fully usable for daily use, I recommand you to wait for the global build, or at least the beta by Xiaomi.eu or other.
But if you don't worry about this, enjoy :good:
Edit: I will post some screenshot of this beautiful version in a moment

I'm french too ^^. To enable the google services, open the "GetApps" app, and search for google, you will see an app called google services (with an icon like the play store one, but composed of puzzle pieces). Install/update it, then you will see the play store in your apps. If it crashes when you try to connect to your Google account, keep trying until it works. I hope that will help you.

This is not what we saw during the announcment, so for the moment this is a static wallpaper, but it adjust anyway with the dark theme. WE will have to wait a future beta for this. But de can download aod from the theme app right now.

Okay, but normal or play store installs are fine? Any other major bug? I'm trying to figure out how to install with stock recovery.
