I bought this Redmi 4X yesterday, it asked for update and I did it. I'd like more of a stock andro experience but I'm not yet sure if I won't lose some camera capabilities (I never had a smartphone with camera that makes people look better before). So I read that Xiaomi gives different MIUI versions to download and supports this fully. But then I learn that "older" version of MIUI that I have (MIUI 7 vs MIUI 8 I have) has newer android 7 compared to my android 6. Why is that?
Is there any consensus on least bloatware on Redmis? Also, is MIUI the same as rom, or it's just an addon installed on top of AOSP? Sorry for asking such questions, but in my case I always understand things after I already have flashed some roms, but don't have any backup phone in case I brick my phone.
Current stats:
6.0.1 MMb29M android
MIUI global 8.5 Stable
8.5.2.0 (Mammied)
Hi
Sorry but did you buy a xiaomi smartphone without take any information about it ??
1st question : will you try to root & install custom firmware ?
If answer is yes, you should first use method to unlock the bootloader.
After that, everything will be so easy !
hello i need help i become today my xiaomi mi 8 with Global Stable rom and i like to install the Global beta rom via recovery thanks for help it comes.
couldn't verify. looks like current android version is different from that in the recovery package. Try flashing your device in the Fastboot mode.

This has been answered and mentioned several times unfortunately. Please use the search function before posting threads
You cannot go from STABLE to BETA without unlocking the bootloader, and you especially cannot do it from the updater. It must be flashed. I'm going to assume that you are trying to "update" to the new version with Android Pie. The Mi Mix 2S just a day or two ago received stable MIUI 10 with 9.0. Be patient and wait for the update for us as it should be arriving soon. Beta versions were intended for developers and for testing purposes and may have bugs. It really is not worth the trouble of unlocking the bootloader and jumping to a test version for a newer version of Android even more so when a "stable" version is just around the corner. Most things will remain unchanged from MIUI 10 based on 8.1.0 to MIUI 10 based on 9.0. People have been bricking their devices due to little experience with Xiaomi smartphones, and it would be terrible to see another one join the list.
How long we wait?

Sorry for the late reply. I believe it may possibly have a vendor ROM. Your phone should have updated over a month ago to MIUI 10. At this point I believe the only solution would be to unlock the bootloader in order to flash the latest version. Unfortunately this takes about 30 days after the unlock is requested.
That's the 3UK version of global.
No updates as of yet,either be patient or unlock bootloader and flash global stable of Pie.
Yes. And to be honest, DO NOT rush for 9.0. There is severe battery drain on 10.2.2.0 and 10.2.3.0. I used to get 6+ hours of SOT (screen on time), on 10.2.2.0 I would get about 5hrs, on the latest 10.2.3.0 I get 4 hours. Others have complained about the same. In my opinion, the added features aren't worth the battery life lost.

We have 3 Mi8's in our house
Personally I am using the Mi-Globe version " globeROM_v10_dipper_9.3.21_cfg" it is fantastic! It has all of the features such as dark mode, AOD options, face unlock, charging animations, the best themes from all over the world and zero ads.
On the other 2 phones we have the official 10.2.3. While its not as good as 9.3.21 the battery life is still about 8 hours SOT.
hello, I'm using xiaomi cc9 meitu edition, and few days ago it got an update to miui 12.5 from miui 11.
I'm very new about this, i would like to know how to downgrade my phone back to miui 11, or miui 12 based on android 10. I'm okay with chinese rom, but i dislike miui 12.5 because my applications cannot work properly since it doesn't support gms.
Please help me
Thank you very much
Actually i do have the same phone. I have been trying and searching so long but there are solutions.
I also had lots of problems with the update of the official rom. I am using the Globalrom for the Mi 9 Lite/CC 9 so far and it works fine. The Meitu Cam App will be lost but it is not that necessary to me.
All you have to do is delete a few lines in the flash_all.sh and you are good to flash to a older rom or like me to the CC 9 Rom.
Maybe one thing to mention is that the battery life is a little worse than the official Firmware. But with fast charging nowadays that shouldn't be a big deal

thank u for the reply. may i know which version of global rom that u use for flashing ur phone?
Hey guys. I know this may have been discussed previously. I have Mi9 and still running Android 10 (MIUI 12.0.4 | Global). Is it ever going to get Android 11 ?
Also, please point to a post that helps in updating to Android 11 step by step.

Bro, you will probably get no official updates anymore for MIUI but you can install custom ROM on it and you can also get Android 12 on it if you want. If you wanna install it, text me in DMs.
Thank you.

not sure if this is what you want (
). I haven't found any other official Realme ui 2.0 yet. You can try to install a stable custom rom like (https://pixelos.net/download/RMX2020) or (https://arrowos.net/download). Instructions for installing, rooting or saving the phone when it fails see at (https://www.youtube.com/@DeroxOP/videos) I find this tutorial channel the best.
I absolutely do not understand why there is UI 2.0 with Android 11 only for the Indian version of Realme C3 (RMX2027) and not for the global version of Realme C3 (RMX2020)? Is there any hardware difference between RMX2027 and RMX2020? It has been a very long time since the UI 2.0/Android 11 for RMX2027 was released to auto update, i.e. it is practically certain that the UI 2.0/Android 11 for the global version of Realme C3 (RMX2020) will not be released through the normal route. The last update for RMX2020 was 2022#05, i.e. already one year ago. Wouldn't it be possible to solve the problem by switching the RMX2020 to the Indian mutation and using some proxy/vpn server in India to simulate the situation that the mobile is located in India on the Indian Internet? Maybe then the official UI 2.0/Android 11 update would automatically jump to RMX2020 as well? Has anyone tried? Can anyone recommend any suitable software for simulating Indian mobile IP address?
