I'm really liking the Mi Mix but concerned about security with the device. Is the OEM planning on updating the latest security patch or move to Nougat? I'm on a April security patch and using the latest Global Rom. Thanks!

If you want nougat you can try the global beta
(Im using epic rom based on miui beta 7.6.8 nougat with may security patch)
Do I need an unlocked bootloader to apply the beta? Oh, and is it pretty stable?

You dont need an unlocked bootloader, there is a flash guide in the beta download section.
I prefer the global stable, in my experience it was faster and more persistent than the beta, And if you will regret flashing the beta you will have a hard time going back to stable (unlocking bootloader and flashing twrp and downloading all your apps again...).
But if you want to flash the beta you should unlock your bootloader and flash twrp so when you do flash the beta you will have a backup (backup in twrp before flashing the beta) of your latest stable miui.
Its your choice

Okay, so I really don't want to mess with all of that if the stable version is better. I'm just hoping we get a OTA update soon. I used to have the Honor Note 8 and they had the Nougat update back in March and some updates since then. Hope the Mi Mix keeps getting supported.

Hmm. I was under impression that to flash ANY other ROM rather than factory one, you need to unlock bootloader. To go from original factory Chinese rom to stable Global ROM - do you need to unlock bootloader or no?

Just checking if there are any updates with the Global Rom, such as Nougat or even a security update? I'm currently back to my S8+ until I hear about an update to the Global Rom. I'm curious to see the level of support when you go with this company.
Android 7.0 is in beta testing, so should be coming out soon as a stable/global rom.
I can't handle my S8+ and want to start using my Mi Mix again. Should I be concerned that it's still on Marshmallow with the Android security patch from April?
I want to ask how to update to march patch? Before this i already update to march patch then my phone soft brick.. i already format my phone using fastboot method and install magisk patch.. i follow all the step just like before this.. but when i tried to update the installation problem showed.. i dont know what the problem.. the only different i notice is that when the first time i use magisk on december patch it is slot a.. after update to march it is slot b.. after the soft brick and fastboot methods.. after install magisk.. it is slot b.. now im stuck with december patch.. i really want to update to march patch and have magisk.. because i use gcam as my main camera.. and march patch really good with gcam because when i use the march patch the gcam totally stable.. this december patch sometimes force close.. can anyone help me?

If you have any others method i'm willing to give it a try
Just do one thing unroot your device..
Then reboot..
Again unlock bootloader & enable cam2api through temp root .. every detail is in XDA & then you are able to update security patch updates directly..
I also enabled camera2api & now my bootloader is unlocked & successfully updated today's security patch update !!

One more thing, front camera is improved alot by Xiaomi in march update ,but back camera still need more improvement , so try using gcam of poco f1, it's too impressive in MI A2 !!

Currently I'm using gcam by backrider.. I think it is the best so far for my mi a2 because everything is working so far including slow mo.. But sure will try poco f1 gcam later.. Thanks for the recommendations
I am starting to be a little disappointed on the frequency of security patches for my eea mi 9... Is this substantially better on xiaomi.eu?
On the latest Xiaomi.eu we are running the September Security Patch
I think that Xiaomi is waiting for the release of Android Q to update the security patches
It's pretty odd that the mi9 SE has been sitting on MIUI 10.3 with july security patch for 2 weeks now while the mi 9 is stuck on june SP with miui 10.2. Basically the cheaper version is getting updated faster, so I guess they have some additional bugs to fix on the mi 9.
Well if they would fix idle battery drain I'd be happy with waiting...
Mi9 and I'm still on june security patch

Cool thanks. I will flash tonight. .
What's the latest EU Q build and is it relatively safe to dirty flash and not wipe ?

Latest EU Q is supposed to be 9.8.22 (eu versions read as 2019.August.22, I've learnt that recently)
> Wiping is MANDATORY
> Backup using Titanium Backup only, not TWRP
> I suggest using TWRP 3.3.1-41 and using F2FS conversion in one go

Being a lazy guy I always do dirty flashes. Coming from Global Dev (9.6.27) I simply flashed Xiaomi.EU (9.8.10 Android Q) over. Since then upgraded to 9.8.15 and now 9.8.22. Runs like charm.
Of course, recommendation always is 'clean flash'. But this one can still do in case a dirty flash doesn't work, isn't it?
Cheers

Yes you can use it as a daily driver for sure, there a few minor bugs but they doesn't affect your daily experience
I switched on another ROM only because I can't use the Google passwords autofill in third applications (outside of Chrome I mean)
Thanks All who replied. I am now running on EU Q ROM appears perfectLy stable and I love the enhanced dark mode that forces some apps without dark mode to look like dark mode.
As my boot loader was locked, unlocking wiped the phone so a dirty flash was not relevant or required

Unlocking my boot loader wiped the phone but glad to hear I can dirty flash future Q builds
It's quite obvious why this is happening. The Mi 9 is going to be one of the first phones in the world with Android Q, so it's obvious they are just developing for it, and stopped patching for Android Pie.
After all, this is a flagship, they will want to showcase Android Q on it as soon as possible.
I've got August security patch with 10.2.30 on EEA

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to acquire the One UI 3 beta for my SM-G973F but I recently updated to the December patch. Is there a way at all to downgrade to the November patch without losing data?
Thank you.
I think if you downgrade it wipes your phone.
I know that you can go back using smart switch and that definitely does wipe the phone. If you take a look at this thread, it seems possible to downgrade without harming data: https://www.droidwin.com/downgrade-samsung-android-11-to-10-oneui-3-oneui-2/
Hi guys, using latest TWRP (3.7.0) I installed Evolution X of January 22nd on my K20 Pro but I forgot to flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt. Now, if I want to update the ROM, what should I do? Thank you very much.
