What are some good roms for the mi max 2 thats not MIUI with NO issues. And one with the ability to install Substratum?
The stable ROMs from MIUI are the only one with NO major Issues. And none of them support Substratum yet. There are some custom ROMs, but they are not Stable, most of them are on Beta/developer ROM.

Hey man,
I'm not a big fan of MIUI. It really sucks big time. Its too simple and plain. Do you know if theres a way to change the background color of the system and phone?

Download Oreo/Nougat theme on Theme Store. Install Nova launcher and find yourself an icon pack. You should be able to have 95% android stock look.

Appreciate the link but this theme is in chinese. If I get this phone it'll be for the global version since I'm in USA. Will; this theme be in english?
Other than that MIUI is soooo outdated looking. It looks as outdated as win 95. Very disappointing.
The theme will be in whatever language your phone is.
I don't know which version of MIUI you are looking at, but it has come a long way. It's not as bad as it used to be and in terms of design it doesn't look outdated at all except for the ugly icons, which you can easily change. The Themes app allows for a lot of customization which on stock Android can only be done on a rooted phone, too.
Anyway, I still prefer stock Android over MIUI as well, but before Lineage OS is stable enough for me, I'll have to stick to MIUI. These are my settings in the themes app to make it look more like stock Android and darkish enough for me:
Lock Style: Default
Status Bar: Clean
Icons: Limitless
Messaging: Default
Dial Pad: Simple & Clean UI
Favourites Tray: Default

I'm on the "Global" version of the phone there are plenty of dark themes available in english, visit the themes sub-section on the official MIUI forums at http://en.miui.com/forum-7-1.html and take a look for any that take your fancy... On a side note there are way to many iPhone themes there,,,
i can highly recommend lineage os 14.1 currently the most stable and bugfree non-miui custom rom based on android 7.1.2 with october security patch. very fluid, performant, battery friendly with lots of settings, options, customizations.

None.
Yet.
At least, according to your criteria. Especially the "NO issues" part. (Current LineageOS for Mi Max 2 still has some issues - for e.g. IR does not work yet.)

That's the only issue (usless one)
IR has probably been fixed by now, it's just a matter of time until xuefer posts his updated build here. There are devs actively working on Lineage based builds for the Max 2, I'd say a couple more weeks until we start seeing more ROMs here.

Better depends on what you need and entirely subjective - if you're happy with what you have then stick with it. However, if you're curious, I'd say make a Nandroid and flash it for a trial to see what you think - you can always go back.
I don't want to get into a 'how is this better / not better than ROM xxxxxxx' as, aside from being subjective to one person's likes and/or needs, it's unfair on the devs who give up their time to create them. It's a can of worms best left closed.
These are required for dt2w not preinstalled on miui

Hey Guys,
I have a question..
I'm looking for a nice rom for my Nexus 6. But with a total different interface. And not the standard Google Launcher lay-out. I mean roms like Flyme OS (only google apps will not work on that). So i'm looking for another nice option.
Thanks!
Stuff like Flyme and MIUI aren't available for the N6.

I know that, Flyme is possible btw. And they are busy porting MIUI to N6. But maybe someone knows other roms that have that kind of lay out.
If you search on general forum theres a post by me about flyme os.

You get an Android developer device and dont want the Android ui? They are not gonna get miui to work completely due to the changes they make and then they would have to release the full kernel source which we all know they don't want

I just like the lay out of MIUI, i had a Redmi Note before it was stolen. And i liked the lay out. Maybe there was a rom that kinda the same lay-out. Doesnt need to be MIUI in specticulair. Like Flyme is awesome tho, but gapps dont work on that.
Why don't you just use Layers or CMTE themes and mix/match different themes for how you want it to look. Then using xposed you can use things like Flat Style Colored Bars and do even more customization. You can even use a different launcher and customize that further. AOSP > things like MIUI or Flyme IMO
How about trying the Chinese forums ?
bbs.gfan.com
bbs.zhiyoo.com
romjd.com
bbs.loorin.com
There are probably links to others within the ones above.
Does any have no calls receive on flyme ported rom?

Tbh, nothing excited me. I installed it (previously was on NucleaROM) and while it was downloading I was thinking that I'll be losing my Google Assistant but if the rom is great then it is worth losing it. After using the rom for like 6 hours, I found out only battery life is great, and this rom is really not worth losing the Assistant. So came back to NucleaROM!

____Update 12/01____
Since a couple of days we now have v 9.1.2.0. I haven't noticed any differences yet, but the wallpaper carousel is functioning again. They also implemented fixes for problems that I personally did not encounter. ...aaand the notifications are slightly improved! Some of them evene expand and allow for direct interaction. Breathtaking development.
Get it while it's fresh on en.miui.com.
Should you not be rooted, I can recommend installing it via XiaoMiTool. I used this to flash the last MIUI 8 Global Stable, and then got 9.1.1.0 and now 9.1.2.0 via OTA. I've read that for some people here fast charging isn't working on th 9-er Firmwares. I have had no problem with that at all. Maybe it's because you guys are rooted, or because system wasn't flashed properly? I don't know, but I feel with you...
____Update 11/16____
The MIUI9 release has since been officially announced. This XDA article sheds some light on the release. However, as of today, the ROM is still not available for download on en.miui.com.
If you don't feel like waiting for OTA hitting you, shadowxaero has provided a link to download 9.1.1.0 (NDEMIEI) in post #7.
To enable VOLTE in presumably every MIUI realease, KevinLuong has shared a great link to an explanation including an easy fix in post #2.
Update 11/17
The Firmware is officially available on en.miui.com now. Should you not be rooted, consider installing it via XiaoMiTool, which will let you chose and download the Firmware within the programs flashing dialogue (give that man a beer).
_____initial post_____
..but there is no mention of it anywhere (yet). Why is that?
It's Version 9.1.1.0 (NDEMIEI). Got it OTA on Friday night, but it isn't even yet listed on the official site. Whats up with that?
Everything seems to run great, except that VOLTE can not be activated, which I find a little weird for a stable release. Oh, and notfications are still not up to scratch in MIUI 9, which is the single most annoying thing about MIUI.
Anyone else on this ROM? Maybe with tips, tricks, htoughts or insights?

Hmm. Why would they do that? I'm not even participating in the user feedback program (at least not willingly ). Usually the nightlys they push out clearly state that they are nightlys, don't they? I saw this with the Mi 6 when it got v 9.0.1.0. In this case on Mix 2 the ROM clearly states "stable" though.
Well, I don't want to complain. I feel special now. :victory:

You can flash it with fastboot, but you have to convert the system to a system.img in order to do so.

I used sdat2img.py
https://github.com/xpirt/sdat2img
Use that to make a system.img, flash that with fastboot.
Then flash all of the other partitions with fastboot from the unpacked zip, following the pattern of the Xiaomi fastboot updates so you know which thing needs to be flashed to what.
Kind of difficult to explain and probably not worth putting together a whole tutorial, but that's how you do it.
this build passes safetynet with Magisk 14. I also installed this over Epic rom and not over v8 stable.. works fine anyways. I did format userdata and cache from fastboot before i flashed.

This will most likely not work coming from the developer ROM, but try the regular manual update method:
Download the ROM and copy it to your device. Then go to settings > About Phone > System Update and chose your update package from the extended menu (three dots, top right).
Should the regular method not work, and should your device not be unlocked/rooted, then simply use the XiaoMiTool. If you follow the instructions this program works really really well, so consider donating that guy a beer or two.

Hi guys,
If you installed the Official MIUI 9.1 Stable can you please report on battery life ?
Regards.
and I have to re select my wallpaper. Anyone else see this?
I experienced this issue back in MIUI8 when setting wallpaper via Nova Launcher. If I set it via Settings, it worked as expected. Eventually it stopped happening, I don't know if it has to do with Nova updates or with Xiaomi OTA updates. All I know is that it stopped happening around the time I got the MIUI9 update.
Thanks for the feedback. I have been setting mine in settings all along and its' done this consistently from day 1, both on MIUI 8 and 9. I do use Nova...google suggests that its' more a problem with Nova users than not but i'm not willing to give up Nova

I still use Nova as well, no issues now. Just tested setting the wallpaper via Nova again and it doesn't zoom in like before. Are you using the Stable or Dev ROM? Now that I think of it, maybe it was fixed when I changed from Stable to Dev (which happened to coincide with the change from MIUI8 to MIUI9).

There is no need to root to install the dev rom, all you have to do is download it from Xiaomi's website and install it with the updater app. You will lose all your data though.

And you would still get OTA updates?

Of course, you get them weekly. That's what the Dev Rom is for, you always get updates first.
I've downloaded it and when I try to install via installer it says it's not allowed to upgrade to an unofficial Rom version and stops.

Did you download from MIUI's website? (here)
You have to chose either Global or China Rom according to your version. What does it say in Android Version on the About Phone section?

Yes I downloaded from there but didn't see a choice between global and China.
My android version is 7.1.1 nmf26f
When I click k the download link it just starts but it is the global Rom.
I meant to say MIUI version, not Android version, sorry.
The page opens on default on the global section, you can change it on the right of the header with the device name. If that's the one that doesn't work, you probably have the Chinese Stable version and in that case you must flash the China Dev ROM

I got it. I had cancelled just into installing and then when I started from scratch again it worked. Up and running on Dec now.
So far so good with the wallpaper zoom. Fingers crossed. The fitbit notifications still turn off every reboot. Boo
Now I'm battling the stupid install over. USB permissions so I can drop the dpi settings. Pita
UPdate: Wallpaper zoom issue still exists on Dev rom
Wallpaper zoom in issue still present in MIUI 9.0.3.0 Global Stable on my Mi Max 2.

I tried setting the wallpaper actually in Nova and for the last 2 hours it hasn't done the zoom thing. I'll update later when I'm convinced one way or the other this did it.
