[Guide] [Rom] [Beta] Xiaomi eu MIUI 12.1 weekly - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio

OTA Updates
- 20.6.4, which fixes a few small bugs.
- 20.6.11, with a few more small fixes.
- 20.6.18, with a few more small fixes.
- 20.7.2, with a few more small fixes.
- 20.7.9, with a few more small fixes.
- 20.7.16, with a few more small fixes. Note this version includes the July 2020 Android 10 security patches.
- 20.7.23, with a few more small fixes. From the changelog, this is a minor update.
- 20.7.30, with a few more small fixes. Note this version includes the August 2020 Android 10 security patches.
A few tips for OTA updating after a first xiaomi.eu install:
1. Use the included Updater app.
2. Be patient. The screen will go black for quite a few seconds, just wait. Also, wait a few seconds at the MIUI logo.
3. Note there is no need to wipe or format data or any partition for OTA updates. The Updater app takes care of everything and no data is lost.
I managed to install xiaomi.eu MIUI 12 ROM, latest beta 20.5.28 on my Mi 9T. This is done in three basic steps:
1) Unlock the bootloader. Note that you don't need to wait 168 hours anymore, just use the Mi Unlock app and you can do it in a few minutes (requires a PC). Check the Mi Unlock app for detailed instructions. Link to Mi Unlock tool: https://xiaomitools.com/mi-unlock-tool-en/
2) Install TWRP latest version. Note that there is a trick here because if you reboot into recovery just after installing TWRP, the normal Mi recovery will overwrite TWRP. Instructions to avoid that are found on the TWRP website. Link to TWRP for Mi 9T / Redmi K20: https://dl.twrp.me/davinci/
Instructions to flash TWRP: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimi9t.html
3) Flash xiaomi.eu ROM. Again there is a little trick here that you must format data partition with TWRP before flashing the xiaomi.eu ROM. I forgot to do that the first time around and got a TWRP bootloop, solved by recopying the xiaomi.eu img file using adb push and then reflashing the xiaomi.eu image. Again here the correct instructions are found in the xiaomi.eu website.

4) Definitely enjoying Dark Mode on MIUI 12! Try it!

I have configured AOD and yet I only lose around 5% charge overnight. So not a problem in my case.

xiaomi.eu has a forum specifically for bugs. I think it's just you. Solution: reflash stable MIUI 11 ROM, reset to factory settings, test sensors and incoming calls, and retry with another MIUI 12 ROM.

Just OTA updated to 20.6.4, it fixes a few small issues and for me, it's working fine as far as I can tell. :good:

On Titanium atm, and wondering whether I should try latest xiaomi.eu but had a few questions:
- How do you install v4a on Miui 12? Is it as easy as audio compatability patch, install driver, reboot?
- Can you just replace the stock gallery app with google photos? Will this open from Camera?
- Does xiaomi.eu come with vendor if I flash it? Currently have OSS vendor.
- Is it less laggy than the first beta release on davinci?
- How do you get the Global theme gallery?
- Can I flash, THEN wipe data before reboot?
- Is OTA supported with Orangefox?
Thanks for any answers.

which recovery do you use?

All I care is the lag situation. How's the lag thing? Last time I used miui12 beta the system launcher was laggy as hell

TWRP. It's the one xiaomi.eu recommend, it works fine and has never, ever, failed me.
