Seem Nexus 4 will never get official MIUI ROM

On Sina Weibo,when someone from Xiaomi posted a tweet
"We again urge those who familiar with adoption of MIUI help adopt MIUI v5 to more phone. Our upcoming plan is develop for Galaxy S4 and HTC One. Bevause we seriously lack of developer, that's probably all we can do before end of the year. Contact mcming_小米 if you are interested"
A user asked in reply "So how about Nexus 4?" And he said "already given up, I think Stock is better for Nexus 4"
And another user replied subsequently "Why you think Nexus 4 better stay stock? Is it because you want to reduce competition of Xiaomi MI-2?" he replied "If you don't think stock rom is good, why do you buy Nexus 4?"
and he also said in another post:
"Adoptation of MIUI on third party devices are based on their active user count within China. We believe stats from Baidu and Taobao. And we also support some local brand quality phone with fewer user base because of our love on Chinese local phone. They may not buy Xiaomi for some purpose, but as far as they buy quality Chinese phone, they are user of MIUI. For non-Chinese brand's phone, other than Samsung/HTC, user base are too small amd it's meaningless to support them."
*All quote above are translated by myself and sorry for poor translation.

But he's right, Miui is not good on our phone... It runs pretty bad. Gone are the gingerbread days. Most people just use miui only for the lighter theme anyways...

Have you ever tried MIUI on a Nexus 4? It runs nearly perfect and faster and smoother than the stock Rom.
A nice video to see what I mean:

What are you talking about? MIUI 5 flies on N4.
MIUI 4 ran pretty bad but on Galaxy Nexus

Miui is smoother than stock AOSP 4. anything to me. Just try it out it's crazy how smooth the transitions are comparably

"Android Firewall" app from the play store is working for you or do you mean the one built-in by miui?
If you can please confirm I may just switch with Ak kernel...

Well, if you ask me, this thread is insignificant. No offence at all.
MIUIAndroid mako builds are being taken seriously by Mark. He never abandons anything that he has already started and so is in the case of N4.
We don't need to worry, once Mark sets out the word that his builds are stable enough with every App and feature working, Xiaomi will surely consider it in :good:

The nexus 4 beta roms are being posted at miui along with 48 other devices, so its not completely unsupported. My personal experience is the ROM is very smooth and performs really well. And there are a number of efforts on this from itself, at last count 3 threads in the dev forum on miui roms.
The latest 3.6.13 posted gets around 17250 on antutu stock and is buttery smooth. The one by Soul_Raider on this forum is also excellent and extremely smooth. Most of the bugs have been fixed. Its definitely worth trying.

Same thoughts here. But only thing I'm really missing - full working miui camera app. Stock google cam, kinda out of overall design(

Build process
Can anyone elaborate more on the work of individual developers regarding this rom?
I do not understand the players in this game. what does Xiomi develope? and what does Mark and others developing? how do they use Xiomi work?
I really love MIUI (back from the days of S1) but i want to know development is not going to stop on this before i install it.

Phone Upgrade

Hi everyone! It's my 1st time posting here. I will be upgrading my plan and i was thinking of getting P9. I just need quick opinion if its worth choosing this phone based on everyones overall experience here.
Would really appreciate your inputs. ?
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA-Developers mobile app

Don't do it i came from samsung note 3 en have now the P9. I wish i never buy it ......i go back to samsung.

On the other hand, I came from an S5 and the Huawei is a far better phone...

I've had Samsung Note 2, LG G3, OnePlus 2... The P9 has them all beat if you ask me. Great design, great camera, good battery life, fast and smooth processor. EMUI takes some getting used to and takes a bit longer to set up, but after that everything just works. No little quirks, no overheating, no random reboots...
I've had it for 3 months now and I still see no reason to root it. Very happy with the phone.

I came from Windows and Lumia 950XL, tried a couple of Android devices before finally sticking with the P9.
It's a great phone and is much more stable and less issues with apps running and permissions etc than I found on other Android devices.
The only problem for me would be there with most devices..there is no dedicated camera button like I had on Windows for last 6 years.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have tried the demo unit and so far everyrhing seems really nice. My only qualm I guess is the slow support in terms of software development but I could be wrong as well. After all this is a new phone that needs some familiarizing.
Thanks again everyone ? ??

Official Android 7

Would we ever seen a Official Android 7 Miui?

not likely and I don't think they are caring about mi mix atm

Remain waiting, there is a big chance it will get an upgrade in upcoming months.

of course, there is a change in the next months, I mean come on seriously?
the other dev will likely be getting their hand of android o and miui just trying to get miui9 ext its ****ed up system going down there
but their products are amazing just if they release the sources of the devices and everything gonna be just fine
then we can get whatever we want

MIUI is already far ahead of stock Android IMO, just look at all features we have and stock Android doesn't have.... Except Multi window for now.

Not working wallpaper carousel and not a proper working push notifications
But the other useless things yeah they have something going with uselesles
Btw I don't screw with MIUI yeah they are good but I just need a good notifications that's all I sent need anything I'm a simple man

The works on nougat on mi 5 is still beta dev rom. I tried and fairly stable except a few minor error. At least until nougat for mi 5 is stable then we can see about mi mix

Probably MiMix will not receive N
http://en.miui.com/thread-562495-1-1.html

dun need android 7 for multi windows... samsung and LG already done it since android 4.. is see whether miui developer want to add or not

Do not hold your breath waiting for android 7 in MIX from xiaomi
Better try this rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/development/unofficial-mi-mix-lithium-lineage-14-1-t3574745

$1000 Phone no update ?? good joke!

No need for android 7 for me, 6 it's working fine till exposed it's official of course.

Nougat isn't limited only for Multi Windows, there are a lot of new APIs (for example, Vulkan)

It will come, had it on the Mate 9 and Honor 8 ... its not that good over 6.0 ... just wait and it will arrive.

The only thing I really miss from my pixel, and Android 7 in general, is expandable notifications. Makes everything else seem ancient.

The only nougat features I want are expandable notifications and double tap to switch between last 2 apps. But I have a grim feeling that these features won't make their way over to nougat based MIUI.

Which version of the stable international officiating ROM are you guys using? My phone came with the 8.2.19.0.0, and the latest one I see on Xiaomi page is 8.2.1, which I downloaded to "update", but the system tells me it's older than the installed one...
The thing is, the current one is the same that came with the phone when I bought, around Feb. 20, in Thailand. And the latest stable was released at some point in March. And I just can't find anything online about that .19 version, just one mention in some western European language, in one single post in one forum...
Any ideas?

I have just went from the S8+ to the X2 Pro and I was surprised how much the X2 Pro is advanced if you compare to it to the S8+ .... loading times, installing apps, GPS catch, network, wifi retention, don't want to talk about the autonomy or the screen on time.... it's just another world. You can switch to the X2 Pro without hesitation. :good:

Thanks mate. So decision is simply. Time to upgrade.

I also would say go for it , this phone is really great. i have the chinese version and i love it (just takes some extra adb commands and patience to work well in the usa). if you can get the global id say grab it and enjoy !!!

I'm in the same situation, I am currently using a Sony XZ Premium. Also, can any users confirm that it supports Netflix

Oneplus One X Realme X2 Pro?
Hello guys, I have a Oneplus One and I have been very happy with it during these 5 years, mostly because of the support it has at software level (many custom ROMs are available for it), but now it is old and it gives me some performance errors. So that I want to upgrade my phone and I have seen this Realme X2 pro pretty interesting, however I am hesitating if this phone will have as much support as Oneplus brand, because I want it to last a lot and I think this is only got thanks to the community.
Do you think this phone will have a big community behind? I would like to flash it with an AOSP custom ROM sometime.

Question Change my mind: I bought a Xiaomi Mi 11 but I dislike MIUI

Hi all. I recently bought my first Xiaomi phone taking advantage of a launch offer on Amazon Italy (phone + Xiaomi Mi Smartwatch for 650 euros instead of 830 euros).
I was happy to have a device with a Snapdragon 888 processor, a super camera and an excellent 120 Hz screen but it took a few hours of use to realize that the biggest flaw of this device is the operating system.
I have been using Google or OnePlus phones for years, currently I also have a OnePlus 8 and I must say that the switch from OxygenOS to MIUI was devastating.
Handling background apps and notifications is awful. Often the notifications are not grouped or are identified correctly (those of Telegram are associated with a contact even if they are from another), in the background applications I find the same application several times. Using a "Pixel Experience" theme didn't improve that.
I prefer a device that is more like stock Android than a badly made iPhone.
I think about returning the product to Amazon but I'm here to ask you: why should I keep it? Am I wrong with my approach?
Help me make the right decision. Thank you.

I dislike MIUI as you. Nevertheless i use Xiaomi phones since 4 years. I use the developer rom (weekly) from Xiaomi.eu in combination with nova launcher. I like the multiple options (extras) of the rom based of latest android, the removed ads and bloadware and their grandiose community/ forums for the rom and the phones.

Wellcome to the club
You are on the righ place.
Here you can learn how to customize the hell out of your device. I also use "Nova" launcher and that makes experience so much better for the start. And I apply "viral" custom icon theme pack across all of the apps.
In time developers will start releasing custom roms here that are maybe for your needs and likes. So just be patient and you will fall in love in Xiaomi and the device. No need to return it, it a good device that will just become better in the near future with upcoming updates. There is a 12.5 update coming sometime in April which will have much improvement in many segments.

Weird. After buying why this question?
New trend?
Just buy Pixel or OnePlus.

Ciao compa'
Coming from a Pixel 4XL and yes: devastating.
Using Nova Launcher or installing Xiaomi.eu will solve none of the problems that you are having. Actually Xiaomi.eu, even if based on 12.5, may make experience worts since you'll get Xiaomi apps for browser, dialer, contacts etc. Although Xiaomi.eu does not have the notification problems that you, me and everyone else with a EU Android 11 ROM is having, also on Mi10T phones.
If you contact me via pm I can try to provide some hints to ease the pain...
