I couldn't find a way to do this and believe me, I've looked for it.
I have it now under Lineage OS. If you find it in xiaomi's miui let me know.

Same for me. I looked for it on MIUI but couldn't find it anywhere, while on LineageOS works really good.
The only way I found on MIUI to use home button to unlock was to add my fingerprint and use that along with unlock code or password to unlock the phone, but that's not what I want.

You can find this option in RR custom

Few things are kinda broken, there are few issues with camera, then some echo problems when calling and so on, you can find them out in the LineageOS thread.

Check miui forum, i saw something there about it, your phone needs to be rooted

I got a Nokia X2. What should I do with it? Root, dump img,...?

So, I just received this phone and starting to play around with it. Although we know this might be the last Android device from Microsoft, however I got to say this one brings lots of improvement from the lastest X family, such as: smooth, Android 4.3, better UX.
I did some research and find out that this phone's so new and would love to help the community to answer, as well as testing something to get it hacked.
Cheers
At this moment, there isn't much to do. You can root device, that shouldn't be a problem. As the kernel source is yet to be released, there is no option of original development. You just have to wait for developers to arrive.

I really wanna know - how?
on adb devices - blank list. fastboot- blank list. It doesn`t say - waiting for device - just blank list.

Need your help. X2 needs it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x2/general/wip-rooting-procedure-x2-t2824711/post54330429
Nokia X2 only has a home key and a back key, so how can u for example reach to "Settings" in WhatsApp, or to "Fast Access" in ES File Explorer? Isn't this a huge problem? Or is there a way to make up for the lost "third key" in the bar? We need this key for most apps!

Yes I was wondering the same. I couldn't find it though.
Till then you can try acdisplay or wave unlock from play store which uses proximity sensor to unlock.

Maybe we'll have some hope, as I've flashed the China Developer Rom (5.12.24 it is based on Android M), I can unlock the screen by press the capacitive home button. But I don't know if it's a bug or a new feature yet.

just wanted to know from which forum you got the links

There are many who want extended partitions from miui itself so that miflash is supported

I'm actually Chinese, I got these from some post on official Miui forum (www.Miui.com) and baidu.com forum both of them are popular forum in China.
Forget to tell you, You cannot easily downgrade from 5.12.24(still doable but little harder) since the partition table is different from older versions.

Allright, well thats not a big deal since I am more interested in merging of partitions
I use custom roms and not miui
Still double tap on home button to wake is awesome feature if implemented in this version

Why dont you use kernals which have DT2W double tap screen to wake rather than flashing new rom. Stellar kernal is good with moderate battery

1) DT2W kernels are generally battery hungry... but I will try the one you mentioned
2) I am flashing the rom for extended system partitions. I know there are scripts which do the same but lot users faced problems with fastboot and miflash. An official merge from xiaomi is reliable.
3) Double tap on hardware buttons to wake, if implemented, might save more battery than DT2W on screen.

MIUI Global ROM for Oneplus 3T?

Hello,
I am new to this forum and got my OP3t updated with Chinese version of MIUI with help of this forum. but i don't like it. i like MIUI the most in androids.
is there any chances of availability of MIUI global ROM sooner?
What other OS do you suggest i should try for simplicity and best performance?

I don't think that will be happening anytime soon..
That is something that I have been looking for as well but to no vail..
So far there are three Roms.. right now I am downloading the third one which is taking like forever.
I will let you know how it is.
When it will be outdated?

This is something weird. MIUI ROM is available for outdated mobiles and not keeping it self with latest models? It's very good chance for MIUI to take over the legacy system of Android with new flavour as i found most people loving it. I hope they will lunch soon before the OP3T model also become outdated and i change it with something else..

Yeah, you are right..
I actually have been looking at the possibility of porting the Global myself.
The closest phone that matches OP3T specs is the Mi 5s Plus.. so porting it should be fairly easy for Rom developers.

Hi. Did you do a port or did you build from stock ROM?
I have a oneplus 3t and i have worked on miui patchrom in the past with another device and couldn't get it to boot.
I may try and attempt porting for oneplus 3t, i guess the options are to either port from Mi 5s Plus ROM or use patchrom from stock Oneplus rom.
I didn't use patch rom. I tried to port it following someone's instructions but I couldn't figure out why it keep failing.

I did have a flushable build but I think my updater script was what was causing the problem. I needed the phone to be working at all times so I had to leave the project unfinished.

PLEASE SHARE AROUND IF SOMEONE WOULD KNOW THE ANSWER
OTHERWISE WHATS THE XIOMI MI MIX 3 LIKE.?. IS THE 5G VARIANT FAR OFF?
Thanks GitHub coders
Hello XDA Fam, I've come to you for help.
Before it is asked, I did search around forums/threads but I really do have a hard time navigating around this site. And from what I seen there was no answers that I needed. Currently my Moto X4 XT1900-7 which I believe is on a factory image, no longer connects to my carrier. It is able to tell me the actual carrier but that's about it. The reason why I ask is because I'm on a completely stock image that's been updated via OTA.
I believe I lost my IMEI, carrier connection ( call it what you will) and orientation ( when you rotate your phone) after flashing this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3876195.
Since then I've been lost. Please if anyone has a recent up to date fix for this I'd be very keen to hear from you.
I've heard of injecting the IMEI, and tried but some guide I followed on XDA was unclear. And I'm not even sure if it would fix anything .. So again if you have a clear up to date guide on this, I'd be very appreciative.
Thankyou for your time to read through. Any info you may need I can try and provide. I hope that I haven't upset anyone with posting this in the wrong section. Or the fact that it's been asked before. If so you could attach a link for me to follow

You can try doing -
Flashing the firmware again(stock), then try locking and unlocking the bootloader again, then, installing PE or HavocOS or any other ROM you like.
Just give it a try!

It appears that no English speaking developer has this phone. This is bad news, because even if you buy it and send it to your favorite developer, they will not be incentivized to do the work. The parent company, ZTE failed completely to market this phone as a global heavyweight that it is.
I still like the hardware and what Nubia is doing with the rom.

When I installed NA 1.16 for the first time, the problem was completely fixed. Then I rebooted the phone, and the problem came back. It looks like they tried to fix it. Maybe they will fix it in the next version of the rom.
