Just to remind everyone that I had started a petition for MIUI 12 (Android 10). Sign if you are instrested .
Nothing is certain except taxes, deaths, and Mi Pad series not to receive any major system update. The Mi pad 4 was launched with a Snapdragon 660 chipset (14nm). Nevertheless, this is not an excuse of it to not to update to android 10. It is evident that there are devices that have a lower level processor than the Snapdragon 660 like Snapdragon 625 on Mi A2 lite, which is on the roadmap of Xiaomi devices that will receive Android 10.
Yet, the support guy behind the screen rejected us for the second time for a newer android version (both 9 and 10), only supported by the aforementioned lame excuse which is evidence-lacking. We do not understand why Xiaomi ignored THE FULL MI PAD SERIES FOR ANY MAJOR UPDATES, WHICH IS AS SAME AS SAYING 'Don't ever try to buy Mi pad series as we will NOT provide any major update to your device.' How ridiculous is this? Even Huawei Tab M5 with 16nm chipset and lower clock speed had updated to Android 9. This force us to either stay on the ancient android Oreo, which was present on the significantly older and less powerful Mi 5 (2016) smartphone, or go to custom roms which requires quite an amount of computer knowledge and is very easy to brick your device with one click.
We only ask that you to push MIUI 12 based on Android 10 to Mi pad 4, which has the certain right to update to android 10. We are all going to sign this petition, not only the carriers of a Mi Pad 4, but also anyone which thinks their phone deserves a new operating system. We strongly demand Mi pad 4 to update to Android 10, globally and stably.

xiaomi stop update after one year, they want poeples to buy new stuff..... but no mipad 5 for now

it is a treble device, so the old vendors can be unmodified and only modify the Google Offical GSI and theme it as Miui, right?

I am confused in buying this tablet ...I fear that kitkat will soon get outdated and i will not be able to use some apps... I have read many forums but nobody discussed of the update for pad to lollipop...Will it ever get updated ...and if not will I be able to use apps even after incompatibility with kitkat(if there is any way to get out of the problem)???
there's no way to get any decent rom out of xiaomi as they don't release the source code.
there's a few ported 5.0 roms put there but many things are not working yet and development is very slow (it's been months and there's no updates)
MIUI 7 is just released, but still in kk.
i don't think xiaomi will move to lollipop anytime soon.
save yourself the trouble, go get other tablets.
sad to hear that, i'm planning to buy 1, i want this this tab just because of it's powerful specs, high battery and size.
hope we can have at least lollipop update from Mi
After experiencing the lack of real updates on the Mi Pad, I've given up the purchase of many Mi devices.
For example, the Redmi Note 2 is a great device at a killer price (about $130 here) with near-flagship specs. But it is stuck on 5.0, so of course I'm not getting it because I know it'll be stuck down for a long time simply because MIUI never releases code, and never releases kernel even though they're supposed to.
If the kernel was released by Xiaomi you'd have killer roms on these devices in a single week.

There won't be one. Xiaomi only has 4 developers working on Mi Pad, part time. And the support has been terrible. As a MiPad owner, I'm horribly disappointed. Their support for their other phones are just as awful.
according to miui forum they need beta tester to apply global beta team for miui7 MM base for xiaomi device http://en.miui.com/thread-197475-1-1.html
lets pray sodamn hard mipad will get it too
Other then 4.4.4 updates as in just the apps here and there Mi Pad will NEVER be getting Android 5 nor Android 6. They the MODS that have no idea either since launch been saying "wait and see". If you search you find MIUI said about marshmellow just what would be getting updated and MI PAD is NOT there.
Yes, MIUI 8 for Mi Pad is available now, I think so
Miui 8 is available on the Chinese ROM only.
A general point is that in the fast moving world of mobile telephone sales, to stay profitable, you must come up with new and better models regularly. This means a limited software shelf life for old phones, where 'old' means over 2 years. Of course there won't be support for older models, most owners have bought other handsets by then, anyway. Of course xiaomi should release the source code though.
Well, I cannot say much about MI Pad support as I do not have that one, but pretty much ANY MI devices got MIUI 8 now. Yes, some are running on top of old Android, but it does not matter much for most users, and please tell me which company supports such old devices as Redmi 1s? What is offered with Huawei T1-A21L tablet still commonly offered across Europe by 3? Correct 4.4 with no plans to give any updates. So let us be more objective. Well, I agree, to get sources would be nice. BTW, di we get them for Nvidia own device?
Its time to let the source kod loose...why are they Holding this for them selfs ? If they are smart release the source kod and maybe just maybe we forget about that they didnt support us.... 1 thing is for sure, i will never ever buy a Xiaomi product again! And i hope you guys are with Me on this One, this Company is a joke !
Good news, the Kernel just released. Finally! https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/mocha-kk-oss/kernel

Im with you. the support for this tablet has been pathetic. Really regretted buying it. Hopefully now we have source code some good folk will make it usable again
Only custom. Not by xiaomi
it seems that its about nvidia... because mi 3 td also use kk in miui8.mi 2s use lolipop in miui6(5.0.2).also,cm12.1 is better then miui now.and i suggest you to flash cm12.1

Guys I request everyone not to purchase these honor branded devices, even though they are marketed as flagship killers they won't receive proper updates once the device gets past the 6-9 month period, you can't even expect security updates one has to literally beg them, its better to purchase one plus, Samsung and Sony flagships because they are at least guaranteed to receive security update when ever there is a bug and proper OS upgrades, they ditched their flagship honor 7 from receiving nougat update stating Kirin 935 soc isn't compatible with newer update, similar lines this year they ditched honor 8 which boasts another flagship SOC Kirin 950 , stating the same reason its not compatible with newer Oreo update, so it clearly means that kirin 9xx is a flagship grade chip set series from Huawei which is not supportive for future upgrades? So is it good to buy them even after knowing their compatibility issues with future upgrades? I had invested 29k INR in Nov 2016 during honor 8 launch time, India and purchased this device over one plus 3T trusting their 2 year software update policy and security updates for every 3 months, clearly they cheated me and I regret buying honor 8 using my hard earned money instead of one plus device, so i request everyone to boycott honor devices, but the strange thing is honor mid ranges like 655 equipped devices are confirmed for Oreo, its a clear case of cheating to drive growth of newer flagships by ditching older flagships, Huawei as a brand itself has lot of conspiracies surrounding it, its better if we developer community boycott such brands, Good that US regulatory authorities are imposing ban on huawei, I can see the future of this company going down the drain in the similar way they expanded
I request xda please don't support this brand for monetary gains and spoil your reputation!

considering oreo beta 2 is taking place at he moment within Europe, i can't expect any more than 1 month until it at least becomes available in the firmwarefinder app
Wow, just wow. Are you on a spam tour? Why do you post this in every honor forum? To bad you're sour about not getting an update. Stop spamming.

Ok, i believe i was mistaken on that one, i was pretty sure i'd read that oreo beta was taking place on both the honor 9 and 8, BUT iv'e just checked and it turns out that the honor 8 isn't officially getting oreo.
Either way, as iv'e already stated, once official oreo for the honor 9 is out, and devs get hold of the source, since its a fully supported treble build, i can only assume the custom ROMs should start to appear.
The SOC in the honor 8 is not too different from the kirin 960 (going by the actual ARM cores used in it 4xA53 in both, though the 950 has 4xA72 rather than A73 in the 960), so i can't see there being too much difficulty in porting the source code for the 960 to the 950 (i'm not proficient in this topic, so please correct me if i'm wrong, I stick to application programming, not OS core stuff)
Either way, I HOPE with project treble porting to different CPUs should be easier than it is now (requiring source code from manufacturer etc...) and hopefully we see some more custom ROMs.
Just waiting for lineage 15...

I'm very much hoping there's an 8-inch model of the Mi Pad 5. I can't bear to think that we won't ever see a more powerful 8" tablet than the Mi Pad 4 :'(
IMHO, (Android) tablets are the best for media consumption and heavy reading.
I've had two Asus, one (pricey) LG, and the Mi Pad 4 and I like them very much.
What I don't like is to get expensive, outdated and/or unwieldy hardware, and that's why I don't care for low-rez displays, feeble processors and 10-inch form factors.
Granted, tablets tend to last much longer than smartphones but when companies say there's no demand for tablets, what they really mean is there's no demand they are willing to supply for the profit they want.
Build me a tablet with a FHD color e-ink display, medium to high processor, decent stereo speakers and long battery life, along with amenities like sd card slot, headphone jack and USB OTG and I'll reach for my wallet in a second....

Looks like the Mi Pad 5 is going to launch tomorrow. I've seen the specs on Geekbench and the look really good, snapdragon 870 and 120Hz display. I'm still happy with my Mi Pad 4 it's running great on Android 11 only thing I don't like about it is speakers on the bottom, would be nice to have a speaker on left and right while using it in landscape.
If I do get one I'll wait for a bit for the price to come down, I'm in no rush to get one.
How do you have android 11 on Mi Pad 4?
Mi 8 pro is 2 years old, has a snapdragon chip and is powerful enough not to take advantage of. My question is why has not anyone done that? There's next to no support for this device on XDA.
Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8-pro/development/rom-lineageos-17-1-xiaomi-mi-8-pro-t4114271
Compared to Pocophone and Mi 8, the Mi 8 Pro is really abandoned. And to make this 2018 line worse, it will prematurely lose Xiaomi support this year, receiving only security updates. The right thing would be to be abandoned on MIUI 14, but at most he will receive MIUI 12 running android 10. Lucky for those who bought the normal Mi 8, which will run up to android 15 thanks to the support for custom rom that he has. That is the price you pay for wanting to have an exclusive cell phone, in our case, the Mi 8 Pro. Honestly, my next cell phone will not be a Xiaomi, but a One Plus. Look at the One Plus 5, which was released with android 7.1 is officially receiving android 10! Xiaomi Mi 6 died on android 9 having launched at the same time as Op 5
The thread was created and thinking that they share and add all the information they find about the update to MIUI 13 or Android 12 on the Xiaomi Mi 9, thinking to make a request if this does NOT change.
Why do I think Xiaomi does not plan to update the Xiaomi Mi 9?
Browsing in different news articles, analyzes, reviews investigating the Xiaomi phones that will update to Android 12 or failing that to MIUI 13 note that among the device lists there is not the Xiaomi Mi 9, in some they do include devices of its variants such as the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G and Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer, but not the Xiaomi Mi 9, this information is anticipated, it may change, because of course being ancipated it may change, currently in Their update lists also include very lower-end devices such as the Redmi Note 9s and it will be updated with a Snapdragron 750G processor hardware that is well below our Xiaomi Mi 9 that has a Snapdragon 855 processor hardware if this is A final decision by Xiaomi to include the Redmi Note 9s device and its variants in its update list, but excluding our Xiaomi Mi 9 would be a too unfair decision and not so successful because no Our Xiaomi Mi 9 has a hardware almost equal to the Black Shark 3 Pro that has a Snapdragon 865 Hardware processor, another top of the range from Xiaomi ... So far there is no official information on the update of Xiaomi devices, they are still highly anticipated things, Android 12 has not been officially released on the Google Pixel (the first to receive the update), but we already have some ROMs such as Arrow OS 12 based on Android 12 AOSP, I think it is too fast and unfair if this is a decision final so that the Mi 9 is obsolete in terms of software, in a mobile that supports ultra graphics and high FPS in games like Fornite, PUBG: Mobile or Call Of Duty: Mobile, or high-end emulators ... we are in the flagship forum for custom ROMs, which adds support like six years later but this decision also affects how ROMs are created and the errors in them but it is always better to have the official version or, don't we think about that here? more in a high-low end mobile like the Xiaomi Mi 9, what do you say? Shall we create a petition on change.org? Do we write emails to Xiaomi reminding them of the update? Do we post notes to press on Xioami? Do we make requests at c.mi.com?
You tell me what you think Xiaomi does not want to update the Xiaomi Mi 9 at the moment and what you propose to do if Xiaomi does not update our device officially.
This phone is over 2 years old, meaning it's over its support period. Eventually it will be EOL on November 27th. Whatever comes after that, is a gift from Xiaomi, if any.

Unfortunately, it's not specs that matter, but time. When the device was released, there's already a deadline for how long the device will receive updates, be it base Android version, MIUI version or even just security patches. And until the recent 11T series announcement, it was 1-2 years only. Anything after that was always a bonus.

Hello Mi Fans
I got reports about a behive link which is recruiting users. Actually its an old MIUI 12 recruitment link which is getting updated time to time when new devices launched.
Users who applied at the time of MIUI 12 and received mi pilot update for MIUI 12, will get mi pilot update for MIUI 13 too. They don't need to apply again.
This link is from MIUI 12 and still live to apply in recruitment. If we change anything in recruitment like criteria or link we will inform you via community. Kindly follow Community not the unofficial telegram channel, websites, groups or any unofficial social media account.
Link is given below of the thread where we started recruitment
https://c.mi.com/thread-3719103-1-0.html
And direct link for applying is
