I'ts nice, but it doesn't solve some issues such as notification on top bar, lock screen.. etc..

yeahh it doesn't but I guess this is the closest you can get without bootloader unlock & root + custom ROM.

I believe the first option is "double tap to wake", the 2nd option is "draw a circle to fire up the camera and the 3rd option is "draw a double line to play or pause music" not sure whether to draw horizontally or vertically though.
Great, thanks!

So dt2w actually works with latest MIUI with this fix? Was waiting for that.
pardon my ignorance and noobness, but just wanted to know, can i install this on a stock OPO or only with MIUI rom running on it, or is it a MIUI Camera for other custom roms for OPO??

hope someone with no root can confirm.

MIUI isnt pre-installed on either the Chinese (ColorOS) or International (CM11S) OPO.
From my OPO
any camera app that has at least 60FPS mode as the stock one? i cannot find the option in the miui app nor in this one...

What I meant to say was the gestures, being pre installed also how is this better than the one that comes pre installed ?

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
Who want to get gesture app in english. I did it for you. Not all of them was translated, but most of them yes. Please dont forget click thanks button https://mega.co.nz/#!pMpT0ZSb!4BfYSXBbrDUxv0DE4TaJMmIb8bHgfNeP8oxf3EZ2hpk

No expandable notifications in Nokia X2?

I'm using Nokia X2 stock. There are no expandable notifications. Even tried a couple of Xposed Modules, All notifiactions expanded and Always expandable notifications to no use. Is there any way to have expandable notifications on Nokia X2 stock?
[Btw on custom lock screens like HiLocker and AcDisplay there are expanded notifications.]
Any help will be much appreciated.

Questions and Issues

Hello !
I have some question, hope that you can help me.
1. I want to install the Xposed module but i want to knw if it's stable on the Mi Mix ROM.
I'm asking that because i came from a Xperia Z Ultra and the Xposed module wasn't that stable...
2. I want to change of ROM, how can i perform a clean install and kepp my actual apps, is there a way ?
ANNEXE : I encounter some issue on my Xiaomi eu ROM, hope you can help me to find something
Here is my problem :
1 - The first one is my fingerprint sensors works 1/2 on the lockscreen, it's like that since the stable update of the 14 jun 2017. You need to know that the fingerprint sensor works well for unlocking app and else..
2 - The research function doesn't work at all, I have an error (cf : video). whatever the choices that i make the problem will still the same...
Can you please help me ??
Best Regards,
LordBli
Sorry, I wish I could help. I to want to root my device so that I can flash custom roms too, but I've all but given up on that. I don't know why you mean though, when it comes to your second question -
"The research function doesn't work at all, I have an error (cf : video). whatever the choices that i make the problem will still the same..."
Xposed works great on MIUI 8 (8.5) (Android 6)
If u want keep MIUI or change ROM to pure android :
Universal method >
1 - Titanium backup 'but need some permissions for MIUI to works and need confirm manually for each apps who will be restored (MIUI and AOSP/LOS)
MIUI specific >
2 - MIUI integrate a similar function in backup/restore item in settings under factory reset (work like a charm too and no action is required > MIUI only)
Both store backuped elements in internal storage then u can easily clone it on ur desktop !!!

First of all you have to unlock your bootloader then flash your recovery, here is a link that might help you : http://en.miui.com/thread-424221-1-1.html

Settings » Installed apps » All(tab) » Search » App permissions; give these permissions(if did not). Besides; some themes have ability to disable the 'Search' feature on notification panel. Just saying.

Without additional information, it's quite difficult to assist.
Firstly, you came from the Z Ultra. I too purchased the Mi Mix to replace my Z Ultra, with its stock firmware being stuck on MM and the aftermarket support not being brilliant the Mix was a suitable choice. However I had no issue with Xposed on my Z Ultra, perhaps your choice of Xposed modules was the problem???
If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, then you need to do that first. Bear in mind, once unlocked you will lose all android pay functionality.
Which Mix do you have...? Mine is the 6GB/256GB variant, and certain system modifications only work on the specific versions.
Have you flashed TWRP, if so which version?
In answer to your first problem - remove all fingerprints and re-add them. On some of the stock miui.com firmware releases, it doesn't migrate fingerprint information correctly.
In answer to your second problem - you *should* try running the current weekly release from xiaomi.eu:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi.../files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-WEEKLY-RELEASES/7.7.20/
If you are running *stock* firmware, you *will* need to factory reset.
-----
With regards to your "research" problem, I assume you mean the global search from the phone (If this is not the case then let us know what you mean).
Again, I've not experienced issues searching the phone since changing to the xiaomi.eu (weekly) global firmware which is based on Android 7.0 however Xposed support is minimal.
If you want to change firmware, unless you change to the same build structure then you won't be able to keep your current data.
e.g. stock miui.com firmware to xiaomi.eu firmware.
In this situation, root and titanium backup is your friend.
Thanks for your answer, it is really helpful !

The only change I would personally use on a mi-globe firmware would be the three-way reboot menu, however that can be substituted with an application.
IMHO, I don't see any real reason to use "their" firmware as all they're doing is tweaking an already good release by an established team of developers

Any ideas for the fingerprint issue ?

Wallpaper randomly zooms in...

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).

I'm on stable. I've been trying to avoid rooting/flashing and just trying to enjoy the phone out of the box(aside from the DPI drop). Not sure this alone is annoying me enough to root n' rom but if DEV fixed my fitbit notification issue as well I would likely do it in a flash

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.

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

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

What are the Best Roms with no Issues for the Mi Max 2?

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.

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

So yes it is in English
Though I am also waiting for Custom ROMs

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.

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.
have been running it on my mi max 2 ever since i got the phone and very happy with it

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.
