Best MIUI for stock RN4 Snapdragon? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hey sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this but I'm still new to the Xiaomi community, I bought a RN4 Global on August which came with MIUI 8. I was wondering if I should update to 9.5.10.0 ? I keep receiving the OTA update but right now my phone works perfectly and I've heard that MIUI 9 drains battery too fast and has other bugs as well, is this still true? Should I update to MIUI 9 (or even 10) ? Not really interested into Gcam and stuff btw.

revolutionOS miui10. it's the best of miui

I tried MIUI 10, didn't much like it. I've since downgraded to 9.5.10.0, quite happy with it.

So you recommend MIUI 9 over MIUI 8? You think it's a good idea to update?

The last version of MIUI 8 (8.5.8.0) was released in October 2017. I doubt whether it has a fix for BlueBorne (reported in mid September 2017) and for KRACK (reported in mid October 2017).
If you decide to use that version of MIUI, you better disable WiFi and Bluetooth.

A new 6.0 Marshmallow rom for Redmi note2 ?
I had found the below link which said that a 6.0 Marshmallow rom fro redmi note2 , Are there anybody try this? is that true? Since I can not download the file.

Classic Trap.
Yeah, sure, especially before Nexus phones
First Google nexuses get marshmallow update and usually after 3/4 weeks later other brand's flagships get update

HTC have confirmed that the M9+ is getting Marshmallow, so at least we know Mediatek will give the Helio X10 Marshmallow
How long does it usually take until Miui upgrades to the latest Android version?
Miui 7 with 5.0 came out in August, that is almost a year later.

When the Android version is official, builders normally have 90 days to implement it but this is often not the case
wooow
Why, why, why???
THINK befor you post!!!
(T)rue?(H)elpful?(I)nspiring?(N)ecessary?(K)ind?
This is obviously a fake. Why are you posting this?
Let's hope we get the Marshmallow update before Redmi note 3 releases.
I wonder if Xiaomi stopped development on the Redmi note when the Redmi note 2 was launched.
I won't get any hope from Xioami. Even now, a lot of bugs in current version haven't been fixed.

Exactly. For example screen brightnes. I opened thread to miui bug section. But nobody cares or stupid MTK's lux sensor sucks and they cant fix it -_-
I read that xiaomi confirm marshmallow for RN2
But i found no date
I hope cyanogenmod make a Rom earlier
*a developer make a rom earlier
Cyanogenmod don't make anything, only developer do it and, if they want, they become a cm official maintainer

Can someone explain the MIUI versioning number strategy? 10.x vs 9.x

I'm a little confused here:
I'm currently running 10.3.4.0 Global on my pocophone, but when checking miui forums I see new beta's arise like 9.4.26 and now 9.5.6.
So why is that version number lower than the current stable one?
Can someone explain the approach Xiaomi has on this?
Previously had an S7 edge, there it was simple: higher number = newer built.
Beta numbering depends on release date.
For example,
9 means year, 5 means month and 6 means date.

Actually I think the first number is based on the Android version.
For examply 9.4.25 is the April 25th release version of the Android Pie (9) MIUI skin

You are on MIUI 10.3.4.0.
The latest is version of year (201)9 of MIUI 10 that came out on the 6th of May (5th month)
EDIT: sorry, hadn't refreshed and didn't see it had been answered.
Slightly confused, am on 10.3.4.0 so what does it read as? Because it is Android 9 .

I think it means miui "10" March 4th release or something.
Edit: hmm.. For stable version, I'm sure that 10 stands for miui version. But "3.4.0" can't be explained by same logic like beta because there's 10.0.6.0(oreo). Well, at least it's not android version.

MIUI 10 is based on Android 9, but it is MIUI 10.
MIUI 10 for poco had 3 major updates (10.3) the 3rd update had 4 sub-updates (10.3.4) and no bug-fix updates (10.3.4.0)
The 9.4.26, 9.5.6, etc of the beta versions is "year"."month"."day"
Thanks to a for explanation. How often do Xiaomi update with security patches or are they only updated with MIUI updates? Current security on my phone is 1 March 2019.

Poco frequently updates security patch quickly in Miui Beta

Android 10 for Mi 8 Lite

Do you think Xiaomi updated the Mi 8 Lite to the recently released version of Android 10?
Will someone give development to customs roms of Android 10 for the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite?
Hold your jets pal. We dont even have a rock solid Pixel Experience on Pie.
My advice. Go test the latest builds, use the phone, report back and then maybe we will have Android 10.
Eventhough not officially announced, it's almost guaranteed at this point Xiaomi will update it to Android 10. Usually it's 2 years of version updates and 3 years of security updates. The estimated release date is somewhere between Q4/2019 (Mi 8) and Q1/2020 (Redmi Note 7).
That beeing said, don't hold your breath on it. Kernel sources usually get available at a much later date. Until we have high quality, rock stable custom Android 10 ROMs, most likely another year will pass.
I'm optimistic about this. @nysadev even made a guide on how to install Android 10 GSIs on platina, so i think soon we'll have (not stable) custom roms
there will be an android 10 miui for mix 2s. miui 11 will come first as android 9 later it will update to android 10.

Apparently no one has new issues about what will happen with Android 10 in the Mi 8 Lite, in the same way my cell phone was stolen and I'm not interested much because It makes no sense to remain interested in something that I no longer have :/

Mi Pad 4 is NOT getting MIUI 11

So, Xiaomi just released their plan of updating their Chinese devices on MIUI 11. You can find the plan on their homepage here (scroll to the bottom)
As you can clearly tell, Mi Pad 4 is not on the list (neither is Mi Pad 4 Plus), so unless they change their mind, we're stuck with what we already have.
Thats utterly incredible incompetence...
If it would stick with 8.1 Android ok... but at least MIUI 11
Will it be possible to develop unofficial MIUI 11 or Android 9 and 10 roms if they release sources?

Mi 8 Lite/Youth is getting MIUI11 in the first batch, it also uses Snapdragon 660.
As well as Redmi Note 7, Mi 6X,...
I am really courious what devs maybe can do with it.
We should waiting on Friday. I think we'll got MIUI 11.
Some times in the past Xiaomi didn't mention MI Pad 4 in the releases, I hope we will see MIUI 11 next Friday.
It seems that we're getting MIUI 11 from xiaomi.eu

Pixel Experience Plus on Android 9 will keep getting monthly security updates and a few new features at least until the end of the year.
Meanwhile, our friend @rcstar6696 is working hard to get us some Android 10.

I agree with gaja22.
I'm seriusly thinking about to switch to Pixel Experience Rom for many months. I have 2 questions:
1. What are the difference between Pixel Experience and Pixel Experience Plus roms? I'd like to use a stock rom without developers personalizations.
2. Are OTA updates available or I have to install manually every new update?
Thanks in advance for tour support.

1. The difference between Pixel Experience and Pixel Experience Plus is that the Plus version has a few extra features, while maintaining overall the Pixel feel. Some of the features on the Plus include Navigation Button Invert Layout. integrated Screen and Sound Recorder, Status Bar Customization and many more.
Currently the 2 variants are maintained by 2 different developers.
2. OTA Updates are currently not available for neither Pixel Experience, nor for the Pixel Experience Plus.

Pie MIUI 11 seems pretty nice and stable so far. But why stop here..
Edit: Tablet mode enabled screens, and yes. It's very smooth. Even manual camera settings work.
It's a port for MI Pad 4?

I'll upload it only when I'll get Android 10 MIUI 11 to work and most/all bugs will be fixed. Official Pie vendor from Xiaomi would help a lot, but seems like Xiaomi doesn't care at all about their tablets.
Right now I have to stabilise Pie vendor, then I'll try different bases to see which one will work best, and after that I'll try to upgrade Pie vendor to Android 10. It's a ton of work but in the end we hopefully will have mostly working MIUI 11 Android 10.
I've been using Pie MIUI 11 for a day now and it's really amazing. But we all want Android 10
I'll post pics as soon as Android 10 MIUI 11 boots. (Might take a while as I just realised Q needs System as root)

Most Stable official Rom?

I recently bought Mi note 10 lite and its on miui 11 right now. Since I won't be able to roll back the firmware I wanted to ask which one should I use to update. Should I update to lates official rom from ota? Is there any complaints about the updates?

Wait until MIUI 12.5 as MIUI 12.0, 12.1 and 12.2 drains battery crazy.

If it can be reversed, at least I did it from Android 11 (miui 12.1.1), I was in global miui 12.0.3 and also tried miui eu, however I ended up going back to the factory ROM.
The best ROM for the mi note 10 Lite is miui 11.0.8 in performance and battery.

This can be concluded as 'Do not update.'
The main concern now is about the old security patch, which may risk the data in the device from hacking. An alternative attempt to fix security problems is to install trusty ( I mean famous and good rated) antimalware app(s), which may take a little bit of storage and use a little bit of battery.
AOSP or debloated roms can be also nice battery-wise and speed-wise, but there are stability concerns, bugs and can also affect security.

The issue of security is relative in the devices because it will depend on the type of use you give it, personally I still do not think there is a stable and secure ROM better than Miui 11.0.8 (at the moment).
As I discussed earlier, I have tested all the official ROMs on this device and none will be better in fluidity and battery management than the factory ROM.
We'll see what happens to miui 12.5, but for now I'm staying where I am.

You are absolutely right, it is better to wait a few months while we see how the official and custom ROMs evolve because at the moment there is nothing stable.

It may be worth mentioning that it is rumored that MIUI 12.5 is fluid but battery is still kind of, bad. The MIUI 12.5 is still in alpha state (China devloper version) though, hope that the battery drain is fixed in the final stable build.
We might need to wait for MIUI 13 and probably battery life will get better...

Unfortunately, because of warranty concerns, I don't want to unlock BL. This breaks the warranty. Hence I dont have chance roll back.
Right now my rom is 11.0.4 and I found a problem where I am not able to use slow motion recording. Camera just stops responding.

Hello friend ..
I found the performance and battery problems in the global versions 12.0.3 and 12.1.1, in the same way in the custom ROM of miui.eu 12.0.3.
I understand that Xiaomi does not remove the warranty for unlocking the bootloader, but still, I think you can try updating to the version of miui 11.0.8 because it runs very smoothly for me and is the best.
Regards.

Download the Zip and move it to the downloaded_rom folder.
Then go to settings, About the Phone, then update system and on the miui 11 logo, touch several times to activate the advanced installation options.
Go to the 3 points on the top right and select package to update. Select the package saved in the downloaded_rom folder.
The download link is from miui 11.0.8 global, if you need the miui EEA tell me.

Although Xiaomi does ot care about BL, distributor in my country does. So in my case I wont unlock until warranty time is over.
