My supplier says Miui6 or should i go Miui7 - Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just received my phone and it has Miui 6 installed on it, Miui version 66.66.77.00(LHMCNCF) I queried it with my Chinese supplier his reply was ……
We flashed the phone to Miui 6. Because Miui 7 is not stable now. Pls don't update to Miui7.
He supplied this link to download the above rom in case I lost it off my phone: http://www.miui.com/download-290.html#430, but this link does not mention the above version.
Should I stick with his advice or is there a reasonably stable Miui 7 version out there.??

I am running the china dev rom miui 7. It performs far better than miui 6. Btw, my phone came with exactly the same rom as you. It is filled with bloatware and some functions dont work. I suggest you flash to the stable miui 6 or go for beta miui 7. Either way, you will be in a much better position that you are now.

Thanks for the reply, did not have much bloatware so guess the supplier took it off before he shipped the phone, tried the apex launcher with this rom and it has various problems so gone back to the rom launcher, i guess you mean one of the roms from this web page, http://en.miui.com/download-218.html.

Can you share with us what version of MIUI you have used? Does it work with OTA updates?

Minimalistic MIUI Rom ?

This is a request if someone can make a minimalistic rom, preferably for the SNapdragon version (both would be even better)
This rom preberaly runs on a custom kernel tweaked to have less logging and a minimalistic approach.
It should have only the minimal software needed for the hardware to function, the rest could be an optional flash package where one could choose what they need, this will not only help run the phone cool and smooth but also improve the spectacular battery life.
this rom if built on the global beta could have root built in , since bootloader would be unlocked to flash this rom.
Thoughts anyone ?
Nice idea! I also have the feeling MIUI is too bloated and that too many unnecessary services are active. I hope someone would consider this idea and if someone misses any functions, they should be able to flash a zip file or select the functions via an AROMA installer when you first install the rom.

Wish you luck, unlocking the bootloader officialy is indeed quite the hassle. Hope they fix the problems with mi flash unlock tool some day. I'll try to help you out when I can unlock the bootloader as well.
I also would like to see some slim version, especially one that doesn't consume too much ram.
The lightest edition I've found until now are the xiaomi.eu roms (around 620MB zip).

thanks for that , it seems the xiaomi.eu roms are based on the latest CHina beta with all the chinese stuff removed, waiting for my bootloader to be unlocked. this seems like the best bet to use on the phone.

Hmm, invalid link.
But anyway, I have a global stable based xiaomi.eu rom. And a theme app is a proof for that (no customize menu on global roms).

I didn't notice too big difference. It's faster, leaves more free ram and has more international languages. Bloatware removed.

New camera features

Hello,I just got my redmi note 4 mtk and was wondering if there was a way of editing some lines in system files to get tilt shift and fish eye for redmi note 4 mtk? Thanks in advance
Actually you don't need to do that, just installing some third-party camera apps, most of them have these additional features.

Yes, it's for mediatek varient.
It's a bit tricky to find the links 'cause it's a Russian ROM.
The official page it's: miuipro.by
This is the link of the last version they are gonna support of MIUI 8. Until our device gets MIUI 9 there would be a new version of the ROM. https://miuipro.by/obnovleniya-miuipro-7-8-24-opublikovanyi/
By the end of the page there is a picture of a orange cloud, Clic it and it will reach you to Drive. Look for the nikel version.

Big thanks to you I only had one little "bug" (i guess) . I read you had to wipe system,data,cache and dalvik,and I had cofface twrp.I tried to wipe all of those,and data cache and dalvik did wipe but i couldnt wipe system,so I installed zcx team twrp,and I wiped all of those,installed rom,but when I booted I didnt get setup screen,I got to my old homescreen.I have all the features of the miui pro rom but it didnt wipe any of my files,my apps,or my password,saved wifis and all that ****.Weird lel

Could you please send me an apk of your camera app (my rom didn't come with one so I'm surviving on a crappy one I found on xda) you can use an app like apk extractor off of Google play to get the apk.

Which is better: globe rom or xiaomi.eu?

I like miui rom better than stock android roms. Because of that I found out that there are two miui based roms. Globe rom and Xiaomi.eu rom. Can you tell from your experience which one of them is less buggy and a better customizable ?
Eu miui is more customizable but tbh i didn't try it yet i use V9.6.25.0.OEJMIFD global stable its very smooth and give me great battery life more than a day with 10+ hours of sot and i don't face any bug what so ever i was before on miui 10 beta its was less smooth and less battery life
I'm using the EU beta version already and I have to say it works very well.
It also has more options than the global version.
Just try it yourself and be surprised.

I'm not talking about the global rom. There is a customizable rom based on miui rom which called globe rom.
I tried globe rom today (first time flashing for poco) you can set it up wit the globe website.
But not all functions are working, i switched off browser, included root/magisk/ad away but it diddn't work.
I renamed the rom zip to rom.zip (so not the orginal name)
Rest of rom function i'm testing atm
Could that be the problem

adaway (or other apps you chose) are stored in sdcard/globeROM_apps for you to manually install after flashing, they are not (i believe) installed automatically.
it says on the site that sometimes magisk doesn't work or doesn't even allow boot. if that's the case just manually flash/install it
are you also saying that the browser didn't get removed? not sure on that one, did you clean flash - wipe data, cache, dalvik, system? you could try re-building the rom or flashing again

The globe rom IMO is just stock global rom with a little of customization. EU version is better for me.

No, I'm not sure! I've just read at the rom builder website people asking for gapps to be optional in the expert settings. So thought I'd ask. Hopefully I'll get the device through the post this week and will try it. I'll report back!
I reflashed without wipe data with orginal final name, it worked better. Apps got deleted and it update magisk from .1 to .2 version.
I only can't find center clock mod and adaway, it is stated in the install log as succesfull. First have to look into what i'm missing.

Might be a shop room. Got one from AliExpress and was unlocked so loaded xiaomi.eu on myself. If it says MIUI Global in the about section. Don't do anything until you have flashed China stable or xiaomi.eu

There are some text issues with the xiaomi.eu tools (their built-in tweaking tools), which doesn't affect functionality.
Then, there is the widely-reported issues of the Power app crashing whenever you're installing an app. You can read similar reports at xiaomi.eu forum.

Hi installed the latest January release, and it seems like double tap to wake and raise to wake is missing?
I'm sorry but this is a multi-languages ROM, isn't it?
As I saw its name has a "CN" inside: "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIPAD4_V10.2.1.0.ODJCNXM_v10-8.1
I wonder if I flash this ROM, it will be back stock ROM with China apps, no Google Play and only Chinese and English languages
Please help to answer!
Thank you so much!
Hello. I decided to use eu-rom since magnetic cover does not work on the other custom rom.
On the rom I encountered that system partition does not allow "write", but read-only even I rooted with magisk and I use ES explorer or root explorer to modify the system file.
The purpose of changing system file is I like to use my favorite font on the device.
Is there any solution and why it does not allow the change?
When I install a custom rom like hovoc, permission is granted and I can change the font, but magnetic cover does not work....
I appreciate your advice to solve the problem.

Mi 10 - M2001J2G?

Hi alll,
I was recently gifted a Mi 10 and looking to retire my Pixel 3. I'm not a huge fan of the MIUI firmware and was hoping to flash with a more vanilla Android ROM.
A few questions:
- this specific phone is the mi 10 5g...can I flash with one of the roms posted here?
- in the event of a brick, is the stock Xiaomi firmware available for download from somewhere?
- any suggestions for cases/protection?
I've been on pixels for over 6 years now, and love how easily I can flash Google's stock firmware. Is this possible with a Xiaomi?

I managed to boot TWRP and formatted then flashed the latest Global ROM (12.5.4, I believe).
All is well for now. Had to manually remove all the MIUI system apps, but otherwise running smooth on MIUI 12.5.
