MIUI12 'Final' just hit my Mi9, here's the changelog! - Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

well, im from Portugal and the update notification popup came around 7 P.M. today...i will update it now but since im rooted and using twrp i will need to do a reflash of the 11.0.9.0 in MiFlashTool and then update to MIUI12 with all stock. Here's the screen:
Lets see if the main bugs with dark mode and audio are fixed, tomorrow i leave a "note" about it!

Received and installed update yesterday.
There is still bug in dark mode.
In some apps looks wrong. Opera browser for example. And status bar icons are Black in allready dark background.
Not sure it i like MIUI12 atm.

i have strange issue: when i try to send a picture from the gallery to someone with whatsapp, i have a short message: "unsupported format"....
(if i pick the picture directly in the whatsapp conversation, no problem, strange...)
Same for you ?

Here's the biggest change for me - took my phone off charge yesterday morning at 9am, didn't use it, checked it around 12noon - 95% battery life. Updated the phone last night then did the same today, 61% battery life. Something wrong there!

I can confirm. Huge battery drain in this update!
But i was using super wallpaper. I will try normal wallpaper.
And one more thing. Google assistant still not fixed. Keeps opening by itself.

Also there is a issue that there is no more possible to uninstall "com.mi.globalbrowser" package through adb shell, only disable.
When I have tried to uninstall from adb shell I get error "Failure [1000]".
Anybody knows solution?

How about ADS in EEA build? How to disable? will that revoke MSA work? no any one switch for disable all ads...

well, 24 hours with MIUI 12 and bugs until now are almost none, battery life are amazing, way better than V11.0.9.0 - the last one.
Only bug is inside chrome app, the 3 dot menu in the left are too dark almost dont see, and with snapchat while using dark mode (dark mode in phone not the app since there's no dark mode for snapchat) the text of the settings and so one are white, cannot see them at all.
My bank app are dark pink background with black accents and they are in light pink and grey now, is like a negative of the original colors...nothing special, i can use the app anyway.
Otherwise i can complain about...its solid, but they can improve little things like dark mode, the way they trying to push every app to use it are ruining the experience.

I noticed too that battery life is lot better than before miui.. so i think this can be now used

After updating yesterday my phone started locking up by itself and flickering lockscreen (until rebooting) shortly after boot.
Couldn't figure what was wrong so did complete wipe and during reinstalling managed to pinpoint the problem to WorkingHours app.
It's an excellent time tracker that I've been using for quite some time, but something doesn't seem to play well with MIUI 12.
Anyone have an idea what might be going on?

Settings Missing
Hi all,
I was excited to update yesterday to MIUI Global 12.0.1 and see some settings to be missing.
For one I don't have the option to change the battery icon in the Status bar because the Status bar entry in the display settings is just not there!?!!
Also the data plan settings seem to have vanished for me. I can't tell if that's all but it seems odd to me. Did anybody else notice something like that?

Great! Thank you!

i'm interested in the camera changelog, hopefully the pro mode contains manual video. But I'm still hesitant to update, I'll let you guys be the early adopter to find critical bugs.

I set notification shade back to android but somehow still can't see buttons on Gmail notifications to start actions right away, am I missing something?

The notification LED stops working when LED bar is enabled. Could you fix that? I would love to use your app but would want the notification LED to keep performing as lots of other apps use them.

Here is the link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.illuminatic
or you can search for 'Illuminatic' in play store
I know but when i try to search for it in the play store app, i see some results but not this one.
And when i try to download it from the play store webpage i can't download because it says this: This item is not compatible with your device
Now i know at least what the reason is why i can't find it with the Play store app.
Strange... do you have any restriction maybe for carriers?
maybe the problem is really my phone but i can wait, so i'll see maybe the next update will work
very nice app! :good: I like the way it blinks
I really missed this "always on" feature, but it does not really work with your app. After a short time the bar illumination is off

this feature was added to save battery life.
our future update will have the option to leave it on always...
If you can be the first one to put in the adjust bar light settings to brightest then that will be the time that this app will be better than the first one released.

Saving battery life is okay, but when I have screen on I want to see the buttons and not search in the dark...
Thanks fab !!
Bar light was set to brightest as default indeed. But only prob is that it doesnt stay on. It keeps waiting for the light to turn off before it turns it back on. Then after a while it goes off and the bar light goes back to your default accorfing to your display when you force it on again.
Hopefully the next update will fix this and let the bar light stay the brightest even if its not always on i dont mind. This app is good. Oh by the way, also doesnt work when screen is on.
Other than than, i appreciate your work illuminatic! Thank you for developing this app!

[BUGS] - Speed 7 stock ROM ZP951 20150820-222143

Hi,
I have purchased a new Zopo Speed 7 and, only with one day of use, I have found several BUGS. Almost all these bugs are registered in Zopo official forum:
I discovered these bugs:
1. The language "Deutsch (Österreich)" = German (Austria) does not work. Use "German (Germany)". "German (Austria)" causes a system crash if you use the volume button. Please see here:
2. The speaker is not really loud. "Cesium" ringtone - 90dB metered on the backside. 80db while the phone is on the table. Changing from 248 to 255 in the engineer mode does not really help. I can also hear that it is not possible to make it louder. This is an issue if you disable vibration. You won't hear your phone in public.
3. Push for notifications do not really work.
Working: phone calls, SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger
Not working: Telegram, AquaMail, AlarmDroid, Amazon, Skype
Telegram and AlarmDroid do work, if I don't close them (in the multitasking menu), but it is annoying to keep them there.
4. Widgets still do not work after rebooting the phone. You have to remove them and add them again.
I hope Zopo solve theses BUGS asap.
More bugs
In the current Rom there are More bugs:
- when using Google maps navigation, the screen switches oft after a while. Then I can reactivate the screen one or two times and then finally it switches completely off. Powerbutton doesnt help, even the double-tap doesnt work. The device must be rebootet to recovery and reset to factory state.
- GPS lock needs more than 2 minutes
- using the smart cover is hell. When you close it, the device switches its screen off. OK. But when you reopen it - screen stays black. Power has to be pressed multiple times to reactivate the screen
- gestures do only work one in five times
- the mini Windows APP (this nasty little round thing shining through the smart covers hole, is not localized and crashes offen
All bugs discovered in one day. Rom: 20150820-222143
Hi.....Good Thread!
One other bug is that if someone would like to install one new launcher like Nova or others ...it or them will not apply because the Original launcher is fixed how the default.
I use in the time one good app to change the launcher this is called HOME SMACK but it here, in the speed 7 firmware , not are able to change launcher.
The original launcher3 remain fixed to the default.

Maybe every seventh-eighth reboot start with stock launcher, but in the settings I push on NOVA and everything ok ( next seventh-eighth reboot). My biggest problem are the widgets!
After all, I think that the main reason for half of bugs is stock launcher.
I hate the problem where i am not getting notifications for whats app. Only when the app is open in the background i get notifications but when the app is closed the notifications dont come through. This is probably also affecting other apps. THe email and SMS notifications are ok.
Also there is a problem with Widgets. They only update when you open the actual app.
How can ZOPO get these little things wrong!
Look at my posting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62702453&postcount=7
Maybe it is a workaround for your Zopo Speed 7, too.
Sorry, was really hoping not to root the phone and for ZOPO to actually fix this problem themselves.
hey guys, got a wireless update with a new build today ... in the bug description it seems to cover most of these things. Check your wireless update!!!
However, the build doesn't apply properly to my phone for whatever reason... it fails because of a signature/figerprint mismatch.
So, good news, we can't be too far away from a proper fix.... I hope
Updated to ZP951 20150911-194355 and by the moment the notifications bug seems to be solved!!! I'm going to test the rest of bugs and will post the results ??
If you use the smart flip cover, when the phone receive a call and the cover is closed the phone doesn't ring :crying: :crying:
If the official (OTA) update does not work (mostly due to missing/deleted files) try to install "Speed 7 and Speed 7 Plus Galaxy Style V2 " from known source. This ROM is based on the official ROM and comes in two tastes: Updatable through flashing or through recovery.
Does anybody has the problem with a zoomed in front facing camera? The last firmware update resolved all of the know bugs for me, but front camera is slightly zoomed in right now. Does anybody has solution to (or has) this problem?

Hi,
to this bug:
In my case, phone with smart cover doesn't ring after reboot for FIRST incoming call. Every next incoming calls works correct.
And persisting bug - receiving of incoming call in Mini Windows App still causes applications crash.
Rejecting call works fine.

Hi, is there also a fastboot Version available?
Want to Flash with mi Flash comming from Xiaomi.eu and do a lock all bat thing.
Thanks
Yep!
Everything is working as i can see for such a quick time, even VoLTE and VoWiFi works and phone seems somehow smoother.
For now, excellent!
I too think the MIUI11 Android 10 feels a bit smother! It's going to take some time to get use to all the notification icons that all of a sudden clutters the notification bar! Think I have to disable some, or all!
VoWiFi and VoLTE works fine here too not a single thing so far to complain about after a couple of hours use.
after this update my usb tethering working no more..
solved.

Can someone check if Miracast works please?
Just installed update. All good for now.
What i hate is that there is still no app drawer option so i am forced to use Nova Launcher Prime. Still better than stock as i need app drawer.
They should give option for app drawer in stock launcher.
Edit: is it just me or autobrightness is still not fixed?
Still goes to minimum in dark.

Had this too, i disabled the GSM alphabet in sms settings and seems to fix the problem.
At least for me
Just installed this update, personally I think everything regarding the design looks worse than before. There's a bit of lag in almost every transition/animation. Checked the camera, photos come out blurier now than before and it seems the phone takes longer than before to process the shots, even for the easiest ones. I guess I'll see how it develops and maybe reset my phone because as of right now it looks and feels like crap.
Hi, just updated to the latest Miui via OTA, what should i after it?
Cleaning just cache will be ok, or i need to do a full data wipe?

Do you maybe know why it's failing with GSM Alphabet turned ON?

The only bug I found so far is with one handed mode. When you switch from one side to another it jumps to the middle of the screen for a second
Anyone managed to do the Miracast (cast) work??
Chrome runs like **** after this update, lots of stutter and framedrops. Xiaomis own browser runs smooth and even Microsoft Edge!

This is the usual way Xiaomi releases firmware for the Mi9. It’s been like this for the last year that every other firmware is more like a beta and only a limited number of users will get it, then after some time there is an update or it will be pushed out as OTA again.
I’m not that picky, I can tolerate the odd bug, so I have set to get early update notification in the settings.
So if you see the notification and you want early updates, don’t wait as it often will get pulled.
I don't have your problem after upgrading firmware from 11.0.8.0 to 11.0.9.0
My ROM is PE+ 10 wo Edxposed.

I was able to solve the Google Pay problems by clearing all data of the google pay app
At me everything works as it should. I even have a feeling that I have longer battery life (I hope it's not a placebo effect )
I was expecting a wallpaper fix but it's still the same, once dark mode is activated the stock 24 hours wallpaper automatically turns to night time. I haven't noticed any bug so far, and battery life seems to be the same.
After this update TWRP is unavailable. A MIUI screen instead (rebbot / wipe / assistant). Magisk also removed.
I just installed it via the OTA file because the update wasn't available on my device
I'll check if I see any differences with the battery life
I just got a message saying that I can't see the changelog because my account is not allowed to do is, because I flashed it by myself but it's okay
Google Pay works without any issues here
I have had this update for a couple of days now and I haven’t found anything that bothers me. Battery time is a bit better, instead of 55% left at the end of the day I now have 65% left. This gives a couple of extra hours before it runs out of juice the next evening if I don’t fill up. Not much but still, good to see.
For me, battery is better, but I'm experiencing occasional stuttering, choppiness and lags while scrolling content, it isn't related to the app, it happens in Chrome, Play Store, Mi Browser, etc... This didn't happen on 11.0.8.0. They've probably changed something in the way cpu is boosting, which is probably causing longer battery and occasional stuttering in content scrolling.

I see this happen only if I enable anti-flicker under the display settings. I do not use this as I do not like what it does to colours, but I was just trying out some settings just for fun!
For me it was most noticeable in Chrome but was present in other apps too.

This option is already disabled for me. So that's not it. It seems like it's slow because it's dynamically loading images. When I navigate to a web page it is extremely choppy while scrolling until the entire page loads. After it does load, it scrolls fine. I did not experience this issue while on 11.0.8.0.
Ok, this is nothing I see at all.

Question Change Default apps including Launcher

Nubia hides the default apps deep inside settings. I even saw multiple reviewers saying it couldn't be done.
1. Download your 3rd party app/launcher
2. Settings>Applications>App Info>Tap on the three dots on the top right>Tap Default App Settings>Desktop (on the top)>select the launcher on the top.
I can finally get nova7 running as default

There is no bug? I heard Nova had some problems in Red Magic OS 4 before:
Need to know these before purchasing a RedMagic phone
Hello guys I have some questions crossed my mind before getting it : How's red magic ui skin? Is it good? Any bugs? Can you set nova launcher as default launcher without any issue? totally using a launcher instead of default redmagic launcher...
forum.xda-developers.com
Yes but if you like say are in an app and you back out too much you back to the original launcher but when you click home you get sent back to the default launcher.

So did it fix in OS 5? I want to buy this phone but not sure about its OS 5 yet.
OS 5 has a ton of bugs, the reviewer all complained about the bugs but I've had Chinese phones before so I thought I would be ok with a few bugs/spelling errors. But Its kind of ridiculous some of the bugs I've seen in the week of ownership. It took me half a day to even setup my Google acct(In redmagic's defense, it did seem like google was having purchasing issues that day with people reporting multiple purchases and failed downloads but, I could even login in. It would refuse to connect to google servers at all and I had factory reset a few time so I don't know it was google fault or Red Magic but I didn't see any complaints about login in, just purchases when searched)
There are a ton of spelling errors, words outside of boundary boxes so you cant even read what its trying to say, nonsense names/translations for settings. Phone has the weakest vibrate for notification and calls that I often miss them and if you go to settings called "vibrations and haptic strength" there is no configuration for strength, only on or off. If you select show full notifications on lockscreen they are still hidden/collapsed If you get more than one so I have to swipe open to read the notification making it pointless. I can set the clock on lockscreen to 12hr but AOD is 24hr and there is no way to change that so far. AOD also showed no notifications so whats the point. I turned off AOD The flashlight is a joke and is dim as hell.
Yes but if you like say are in an app and you back out too much you back to the original launcher but when you click home you get sent back to the default launcher.

This does happen if you don't do the steps I mentioned in the original post.

Is there anyway that you can upload your OS in here?
Ok guys i didn't know this was a thing and gave up using 3rd party launchers. But oh boy it's really working after doing that default app setting stuff and the latest update.
i recently got an update on my red magic 5 (still android 11) and yeah now i can use nova launcher even with the nubia gestures beeing the navigation method. and even after leaving gamemode and killing all tasks in recents i still get Nova launcher.
so yeah I'll probably go with the upcoming redmagic 7 pro. being able to change the launcher is the game changer for me.
only thing I've noticed you have to slide slightly higher to open recents using the gestures otherwise it will act like the home button
I literally got rid of my Redmagic 5G because of this and right after I sold it, they released another update and tons of people were reporting using Nova hidden in settings. I'm glad it's still hidden on the newer OS.
Question though, do you think that even after it's set to the default, and going back from apps and such will restore the default launcher. If you uninstall the default launcher using ADB. Think that would stop it from restoring back or just break the entire OS?
Cause if it can't restore back, cause it doesn't exist anymore.. It "should" default to the only other launcher on the phone. Unless Nubia specifically designed the OS to have their launcher embedded as the safe mode default, rather than the system selected default.
