[ROM] MIUI v7 Developer ROM (5.8.13)

Hi Guys,
In case some people were not able to download MIUI 7 for any reason I have uploaded a download link for it to MEGA. Here is the download, make sure you flash either using Stock Recovery by going Updater> Choose update package or if you have TWRP installed do it using that.

Thanks mate! Great upload.
And It's available on the Chinese download page on the bottom (developer): http://www.miui.com/download-279.html
But not on the English version of the same page.

Thanks for all the hard work

What's the actual difference of flashing via stock recovery versus TWRP?

None. If you keep stock you will have OTA working

Hello friends, I'm new with Xiaomi, can you please tell me what is actual differences between Stable rom 6.6.3.0 (which is on my phone) and devs versions 5.8.13? Basically I'm understand that the one is rooted and other is not! What is the others differences - battery life, work which one is better ?
Thanks in advance

Dev is like beta. You get weekly updates, all the newest features, root access but you might get some bugs

Thanks for answer my friend! DO You have an idea when we can expect stable version for Miui 7? And if you are with dev version, How is your battery life? Is it for real 5.8.13 is on KK? Because mine stable version is on Lolypop?

I got Mi Note Pro so I have lollipop, the battery life is amazing with miui7 comparing to miui6

A little bit yes but not too much, i ll be flashing 5.8.26 later today.

Battery life just keeps on getting better for me, used it more than ever today still no connect to charger.:good:
The only problem with the phone I have is bluetooth calls sometimes not working correctly.

Just an FYI for everyone, I've found that downloading the ROM from Baidu requires that you use Chrome (to avoid creating a Baidu account) and launching in Desktop Mode. Then I've had to set my phone to never turn the screen off. Otherwise, it fails every time. Hope this helps someone else

Where are you finding 5.8.26? The developer rom say 5.8.20 still and the Updater app also.

Im part of the MIUI Beta team so I'm a couple updates in front of everyone.

Just got my Mi Note Pro and had flashed some dev rom and I have some problem.
1. Tried to flash MIUI ROM 5.8.20 and to start with I could not copy the file to my Note Pro, message was "The phone not connected to the PC" (It was), so I used Mi PC suite to copy the the zip file to thr phone storage.
2. Then when I start to install the rom via TWRP the install process just start up, the TWRP shut down and restart.
Anyone who can give some help/solution/explonation, thanks?

I just downloaded and flashed the ROM from my phone, no problems. I used stock recovery.

Thanks, I will try to download direct to my phone and hope it works.

You do not need gapps, as this rom comes prepacked with the essentials, including the play store.

thanks for the answer, appreciate it..
anyway, #asking, i tried to flash the rom V7.1.2.0.KHJCNCK & the V6.2.18 into my prime with custom recovery (twrp 2.8.7.1) ,but it fails.. it says 'failed to extract dir.....' and 'E:Error executing updater binary...'.
Have you ever faced this problem?
#solved, so actually the problem is the flashing method/step. If you flash the rom directly after wiping up the cache-system-dalvik, (likely) you'll get error message. But if you reboot the recovery first after the wiping, and flash the rom afterward, the problem won't be appeared.
Hope it helped for other who face the same problem like me

Can SMIUI be installed to HM2014817
Hi. Can SMIUI be installed on Redmi 2 HM2014817 ? I've read somewhere that it's basically the same as HM2014811, so in theory I should be able to install it. However, I have tried installing it over TWRP and I get an error saying that my phone is not version HM2014811, and installation is aborted. I'd like to install it and try it out, in hope of finding better multitasking performance(more free RAM) and better localization support.
Can anyone help me by telling me how to install it? If not at least tell me, is multitasking any better compared to stock MIUI experience.

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

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

MIUI 9.1 Global Stable is out for Mi Mix 2! (v 9.1.1.0)

____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:

Yes, I had Global Stable (v8.5.1.0).

It's a global stable beta (stable beta = what exactly??) according to the miui forums. There was an announcement about it. I put a link to the download in the reverse engineering thread.
I haven't actually tried it yet but I would be interested to know if it passes safetynet, I guess.

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.

Try disabling VoLTE carrier check with *#*#86583*#*# That did it for me. Make sure the little pop-up screen says disabled

No notification update no fun

Jesus when will it be officially available OTA?

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.

Android 9.0 - Global Beta

Looks like we have Pie now, no one talking about that it seems. But latest beta came with Android 9.0, I believe. With Dark Mode in Display settings, pretty good.

Also noticed the update. However, I'm quite hesitant at first due to earlier info's that states recruitment is suspended for pie update. How's the update btw? Is there any bugs that might affect a normal day to day usage? Planning to install this rom. Tnx in advance!

Yeah, I though it was weird a swell since they told that they cancelled pie update for 6A, but still, we got this... Everything working perfectly, for me at least...

I'm using it since the day it was released, no major issues. Didn't notice any bugs. Battery life is pretty good as well.

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated

Is there any link where we can get the update?

https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-6-redmi-6a-alpha-builds-android-pie/

I tested it, it made my phone run slower and kill background apps. I see no real benefit in updating. The only new feature i noticed is the dark mode.

Does this ROM have AOSP Pie features, like Dashboard, Digital Wellbeing, AI Brightness and Battery, Copying text from Recents screen previews, etc. ? I'm talking about THESE features. Does it have these?

You extract the folder inside the .tgz file then use mi flash tool to flash it.
It didn't have any update, and it doesn't have any new function except for the dark mode.
I installed stock rom rom again because the phone was running slow and killing background apps too frequently.

Need tester
To test the beta rom, xiomi needs beta tester for redmi 6a. Search Google with "redmi 6a pie beta update". I can't paste the link here for restrictions

i wanted to try it and eventually rollback to Oreo : but i can't !
So be careful, cause there are some bugs that make it difficult to use as a daily driver.
For example, brightness is very very low and it's hard to see anything under the sun, hotspot security is useless (makes you hotspot opened)...
I try to flash many other Oreo global official roms without success using mi flash tool. Though it says ok, it's always the same rom that boot (android 9).
Tried to flash twrp , but every version i installed boots on an snowy strange screen (like old tv without canal).
So be careful if it's the only phone you have.

Have you tried flashing the Oreo ROM with fastboot? That´s what I did and it ended up working.

Maybe try using ADB directly instead of MiFlash? Download the command line tools ZIP from here, extract it in the same folder with all the .bat files and execute flash_all.bat while phone is in flashboot.
