Always on display - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

So. We have it. But do you think Xiaomi Will customize it like Samsung or Google!? I sure want notification icons on there.

Well i think they will, i already noticed that i have a facebook messenger icon on AOD since flashing china dev rom.

I don't think we have any customization for always on display atm. Besides, mine got turn off after 5 or 10mins, not sure why but it's a bit annoying...

I've the same problem with my Mi 8. I've the official Global Version of the phone with MIUI Global 9.5 Stable (9.5.13.0).
I've tried anything I could think of so far (turned off even all the energy saving options) but nothing will stop the Display from going completely dark after some minutes.
Can anyone help?

Ok. The phone got 2 updates since reporting the issue and is now running 9.6.7.0 and with this version the issue is gone. Now the Always on Display is always on. Fine.

You have also notifications on AOD?
When i was on miui 9 official global rom, i've notifications for email, sms and whatsapp.
Then I've installed miui10 xiaomi.eu rom, but with this version I've lost notifications....

Same here, with the same story. Still no solution.

Yes, with the new Version 9.6.7.0 I've notification icons on the AOD. It's just the small Icon for e.g. Whatsapp or Google-mail.
So no info about the content or the sender of the new mail or message, but at least there is the info in which app there is new content.

modification enabling notifications on AOD from all applications.

Hey, I have a question, is there any mod that would enable notifications on AOD from all applications? On the development version of xiaomi.eu they work and on xiaomi.eu Stables are only basic notifications.

Hello, I was thinking about this too. If there is system apps updater, maybe there is any way to export from xiaomi.eu AOD app and make update on global rom. Currently AOD is the weakest point in global rom and lack of notification for missing calls and SMS because of Google dialer and messages is quite big big.
Solution
Hi, I was thinking about this what I wrote, finally I checked apkmirror. It seems like obvious but for me it took a while. New version there MIUI Always-on display 1.9.234-12311014 is working with SMS and Calls notifications for Google apps. It is not for all apps but for sure more than this what was in Miui 11 firmware.
So if somebody is trying to solve I hope I help.

I downloaded the apk but I cant install. Not installable from that source.
Any solution for that ? I'm on MIUI xiaomi.eu latest stable, rooted.
Just try to use a different app like "always on amoled" (newGen Mobile) from Play Store.
4 me it's even better than default aod, highly customizable and shows much more notifications.
Have to be pay for pemanent unlock all features , but worth those few coins.
Always On Amoled is good, I bought it, but unfortunately it cut my battery life by 8 hours compared to the stock AOD (phone not used, from full charge). I'm not sure of the effect in a real-life usage situation, as it would be overshadowed by everything else, but it was enough to resign myself to not having proper AOD notifications.

Question Rear display not showing notifications

Hello guys,
I have an issue with the notifications not being displayed on the rear display of the phone.
I have them enabled and they work perfectly fine otherwise on the main screen.
Anyone else has this issue or knows what needs to be done in order for these to work on the rear screen ( other than enabling them from the rear display menu )?
I'm running the latest china rom 12.0.10
Thanks !
Factory reset ?
MINE ALSO....
my rear display won't pop up/light up notification when theres msg
Will wait until 12.5 to do any factory rest, really not interested on loosing all my setup because of this.
Moreover, there is a thread for the similar issue on the xiaomi.eu forum of the mi 11 ultra. the reporter there already did a factory reset without success .
Maybe future updates will fix this.

Its a software bug. Wait update.
After the OTA 12.5 update the notifications still doesn't work..
Did someone managed to get them to work ( where it didn't worked at all out of the box ) ?
Thanks !

Was there any increased functionality in the rear camera view finder in 12.5 ?
It was exactly the same app version with the same functionalities...
@speedtripler , you flashed the stable xiaomi.eu ROM ?
Are the rear display notifications working on your side ?
I use the corporate outlook client and the last time i used xiaomi.eu on my mi9, outlook didn't want to work with my corporate account any longer...
I don't generally use the rear panel, update 12.5.2 didn't add any new functionality to the rear screen that I have noticed but I haven't tested extensively
You still can't use it in portrait mode or to record videos which is still disappointing and it still has a 10-15-30 second timeout as far as I can tell
Did anyone manage to fix the rear display notification issue?
I tried in eu rom its working but don't know whats wrong un china rom
Nope. Sometimes, mine show WhatsApp messages for 3-4 seconds. But most of the time.. nothing. Threema messages dont show at all.
I also facing the issue, that Settings->Special Features->Rear Display->Use rear Display disable itself.
Very annoying for such an expensive phone. MIUI EU 12.5.7 - Rear Display Version 1.3.3
I got the same problem, keeps disabling by itself and notifications do no show up
I was actually talking about the main display lock screen but yeah also rear one doesn't work, so nobody knows a fix?

Go to notification access > rear display and give permission for it
It's a simple step
It doesn't work...trust me i tried it the first time...
Heck i even gave permission to xiaomi framework google services etc...restarted phone, uninstalled app updates, reset data...nothing works
I assume there is some sort of privacy option enabled on the CN ROM that is different to xiaomi.eu or GLOBAL/EEA roms and it gets activated when the region is set other than China or some other region
I'm set to Romania/EU, some other people from EU don't have issues.
Maibe is somehow related, don't know.
Good luck!
Mine is genuine EU model with original EU Rom and rear notifications don't work as well, only received phone calls (all permissions granted).
The rear screen only turns on, showing time, date and battery as usual, nothing else (no red dot).
But I use third party SMS and email apps, maybe only stock apps are monitored...
From the videos i saw , a lot of third party apps like WhatsApp are supported.
I'm using the stock messaging app dialer etc.
I do get phone calls popping up, that i can reject / accept and i can use it for rear camera selfies etc.
Other than the notifications ( red dot ) everything else works
Apparently notifications from these third party apps of mine are not supported:
K9 mail
QKSMS+
Jorte
Home alarm app
Home banking apps

Question Notification sound for Viber keeps returning to default?

So, I am trying to change the notification sound on my new Mi 11. I select a new notification sound, first few messages that I get use that sound, and after that, sound "magically" returns to default Viber notification sound. Has anyone had similar problem, how it can be fixed?
Same issue with my Poco F2 pro. Still cannot get it resolved.
Same thing with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro on MIUI 12...
Disable MIUI optimization in developer options, it might be the reason.
The reason is new update fo themes app. On old one is without any problems with it.

Please, what "fo themes app" are you talking about ? I have same issue on MIUI 12.5, cannot resolve problem, when close viber sound notify reverted to default.
You can set sound by theme app but the newest one is with this bug. I uinstaled this update and I do not have any issue with sonds or ringtone.

Question MIUI 13 Global/Android 12 What the hell happened to all the features?

I finally got the MIUI 13/Android 12 global release on my Mi 11 a few days ago and I am quite frankly disappointed. What happened to all the features they announced? The new widgets are no where to be found, battery life feels worse or at the very least not improved -though I gotta test it more- the new super wall papers aren't around and even the new font for crying out loud isn't included.
So my question is whether this is just a temporary release that will get updated to include these things in the future or not? and if so then when?. Also, what is the european version like for those who have it, do y'all got the same missing features or not?
As far as I'm aware this is a release for pilot testers, I'm sure if you look at the telegram message on the release it says that.

Hmmm it does say its for pilot testers.....I never signed up for the pilot program though so I do not understand why I received the update then.

My error it was the partial release, I got the pilot testers release away last month but some testers phones bricked so I thought it was a new release for testers.
The new widgets are coming, I would suggest just use Xiaomi eu or MMX which are based on latest weeklies. I'm running latest Eu and I have all the widgets and battery also is doing better. There's an option under developer settings "suspend execution for cache apps" according to a post that I read it helps with battery I have been testing it out as of now to see if it does. Anyways latest EU or MMx are by far very stable with few bugs for a weekly, with all the new functions. (MMX has the new control center style but that is easily done by just updating the control center APK.)
I have heard that the missing features will be added in the global version of Miui 13.1, but I do not know how much is true and when it would happen.
They have officially released eea version 13.0.1 and 13.0.4 which is very close to global. So far I'm disappointed, lots of bugs. Very old bugs.
On top of that, DND feature has gotten all broken after miui 13 global update. I heard same problem is with Redmi Note 10 series after the update. DND mode doesnt silent notifications at all so whats the use of it then? Cant put it overall on silent mode as important calls are at times needed to be picked whereas notifications can be put to rest. Used to be working great in 12.5 but not anymore. Hope they fix it in MI11 soon. Secondly some apps which previously turned on dark mode due to dark mode enabled are again gone white so another bug. Cant find force dark mode option in developers option too so helpless in that regard... Hope someone in Xiaomi software team takes note of this as these are both annoying bugs

You have to enable app vault, once in app vault download the widgets and from then app vault screen drag them to the other screens.

Hi,
I assume that on MIUI 13/Android 12 they have locked even MORE the fact that you CAN NO use another Launcher and make the Navigation buttons disappear.
Is that correct ? Or is there a "simple" workaround for that ?
Because I have installed DerpFerst (which is now discontinued) just to be able to :
1°) use the launcher of my choice (as I do not like the iOsish ways of the MIUI Launcher)
2°) use my own gestures and use the full screen without any naviagation bar.
If that can be done in MIUI again, I may switch to MIU (or Xiaomi.eu) again...
If anyone knows, I'd be interested in the answer.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I've searched the Magisk modules that were available online from the Magisk menu but haven't found one that is called "Hide Naviagation Bar (Xiaomi)".
Can you tell me where I can find it ?

General Global miui 13 - link added -awesome update

Update: this is only for mi pilot program accounts, I didn't know that I am part of pilot program until this update. Many people are commenting in here without reading comments that says it is for pilot accounts so I had to add this update.
-----------------------------
Hi everyone,
I got the update just now, still have not updated yet. Will do when I am home in a few hours and report to you, I'll also make copy of the ota file for anyone looking for it.
------------------------------_
Thanks munky-head for link, saved me time of uploading it

----------------------------------------
Guys, device is awesome, not many new features but you can see tweaks here and there, but performance, battery and camera has improved. Result of almost 18hours usage since update
Oh, its really new fw, still cant find it on Internet
Wow cool.

13.0.5.0 is EEA stable rom
Uploading link for everyone, taking some time. But for 1 hour usage, feels way smoother, scroll is better, camera usage warning added which also works with face unlock (confused me at first).
Settings same, rotation is way better especially with camera.
Opening camera seems faster.
First time I see loud speaker phone calls this loud and clear, I'll test it more today and let you know.
Notifications changed, phone call notifications looks cooler. Widgets different. Battery seems better.
Other than that nothing I can tell by now, just 1 hour usage
Oh btw, rear display video is now available
Normal photo camera shutter speed is UNAVAILABLE!!!!!! I can keep clicking on the camera and it takes a photo of every click not missing one and no delays.. camera is AMAZING.

yeah, time to go back
Im tired of EU after back to it only in 2 months
I flashed EU 3.3.22 this morning. If I'm switching to Global, it'll be for a while, got tired of backing up and restoring all the time.
So, the Global is so much better?
hey guys happy to see the update, but my question is how to install the file? its fastboot file or i have to install it with xiaomi Mi Flash tool?
Download it on your phone, then go to update through settings and then local update from the three dots, select file and then will start
If you cannot see (local update) then in the update window keep pressing on 12.5 big logo until a message appears, once appeared then open 3 dots again and you'll find more selections
