Hi all,
there are already a couple of threads about the new Android 7/N upgrade but I would like to focus here on user reported changes.
- First thing I notices is the improves camera app. Having access to full manual as well as various filters on the main screen is great! It also have touchless shutter. Not sure this is that exciting, but we'll see.
- Split screen allowing used to have 2 apps at your finger tip at the same time (this is probably an Android update)
- on the down side, I have not managed to set my custom launcher as default home... will have to look into that.
-> FIX: install nova launcher and go into its own setting screen, from there you can successfully set the default launcher (including an other launcher then nova itself!)
Misc and fixes:
- a significant good news for me (certainly not one I expected) I can now get Uhealth in French!!! This is brilliant
because as some of you might know, however much the system can only be set up in Chinese or English there are apps that trick ALL the apps to believe the system is in a different language (I use Locale More Pro).
For instance, I use to have Zui set up in English and all the apps 'in Local more pro) in French. Great thing, but the system apps that don't exist in French go back not to English but to Chinese... Bad thing.
So the great news here is that since they seem to have developed french for Uhealth so with my settings I no longer have to use it in Chinese!!!
- Also when changing the language to something other then english or Chinese, the phone app no longer crashes.
Ok guys, feel free to add what you found or what you gathered from Zuk
Cheers,
------------------
Please don't post questions about Z2 plus or about how to upgrade, get OTA...
------------------
Agree. I have to check the uhealth thing with German. Most annoying thing is the launcher Problem... Cant set a different launcher as standard.
I set Google Now Launcher as my default. After upgrading some apps may force close and it will default to the ZUI launcher but you just have to change it back and after a few times all the apps will open properly and it should all be good.
It would have been nice if they had completed the English translation of the ROM. Maybe its just Lenovos attempt to get us all to read Chinese!
Though has anyone figured out how to get the Easter Egg working?
FYI on AnTuTu I'm scoring 144315
There is a new equalizer, Snapdragon Audio+. You can access it in audio apps such as Spotify (go to Settings-Equalizer).

So in line with the thread title it seems the new update may provide wildly different performance increases over zui 2.3

Sorry this is not the topic, but as anyone could directly see: in your screen gmail is running, wifi is on and connected, BT is on and probably searching all the time - and maybe 1000 other stuffs Oo
Here is a new fixed issue I found:
When using an app to change language for the apps like LocalMorepro, the phone app no longer crashes!
So we are getting very close to a multi-language phone!

My phone app never crashed even with the previous ROM 2.3.044 + MoreLocale 2.
Is it working with the Zuk Z2 Plus aswell?
Can anyone kindly provide links for it?

If you want the highest AnTuTu score do a bootup on a cold device with all settings turned off. The biggest detractor on benchmarks is heat.
Nice antutu score after I updated:
(fresh reboot, screen brightness on minimum, cleaned memory with safecenter)
Has anyone found the new Android Nougat daydream/screensaver function? It seems to be missing from the settings. I use chronus, a homescreen clock/weather/calendar widget that also has a daydream / screensaver function, but it wasn't working in ZUI 2.3 and it's still not working now.

Where do you access that setting? I can't find it... But I don't have a 2nd SIM installed at the moment, maybe that's the problem?
My LTE keeps switching from 5 bars of Band 4 to one bar of Band 2. Massive battery drain.
I am unable to deactivate SIM 2, only SIM 1 gives the option.

Hi All
Currently running the china rom until I can flash the eu one in 7 days. Was just wondering is there anyway to use Nova and gestures?
I've installed fluid navigation, granted over adb and it works perfect until the screen goes off. As soon as the screen goes off it seems to kill fng which then doesn't work again until a reinstall. It's really weird
Hello,
Heard that it has something to do with miui optimizations, try disabling that from the developer options and let us know how it goes.
Cheers !
Thanks, tried that but still no joy. Works fine until the screen goes off then it completely kills it. Must be something with stock gesture taking over but they don't work with Nova
Using the edge gestures app and this seems to work..
sorry to hear that, i also have the premium Nova launcher app and waiting to see whenever they will make this possible. i even bought sesame integrations for it .
saw a workaround on the mi.com forum but that guy was using xiaomi.eu
https://c.mi.com/thread-3660446-1-0.html
Not willing to flash xiaomi.eu only for this functionality, not to mention that they really improved the stock launcher in miui 12 and 12.5 sounds even more interesting .
Cheers !
Working well now with edge gestures, even from the bottom.
The nova Google now page doesn't work though for some reason. Ive still got 6 days to decide whether I'm flashing eu or not lol

how did you now get it working?
Edge gestures from play store works great. Doesn't even need adb permissions.
My Google feed page randomly started working too on nova :/
Only issue currently is now with Google news widget. I can press the buttons to scroll through headlines but can't open it by pressing :/ unless I open the app first then the widget works again for a short while lol

Same, I thought I would have to flash the eu rom and use nova launcher but I can't live without gestures but after a day I figured out how to turn on the app drawer and get rid of the vault and all that Chinese nonsense.
They're is a lot of crap I could uninstall from the cmd line but I'm getting great battery life already and I don't want to break it .
After Watching a YouTube video on miui 12 features I learned how to make miui launcher almost like nova
Still have 5 days to decide whether to install the eu rom but I heard you can't relock the bootloader ( or it bricks ) and this will break all your finance and banking apps which would be unacceptable...

Guys i recently jumped from stock Chinese to XiaomiEU. I noticed that the phone became laggy with animation.
This thread for those people who actually tried both choices (stock/XiaomiEU stable/beta)
Besides animation with micro lags on opening apps (a specially if they closed in recently menu) there is other weird stuff, example YouTube started to lags in scrolling. Google keyboard sometimes comes up late. Phone after restarting laggy first 2-3 min.
I switched back to full Chinese stock and im shocked how quick and smooth this phone is !
Please share your statistics if you switch from XiaomiEU back to stock.
In my opinion (with full respect to developer) stock debloted root it rom with adaway bringing you a Pixel smoothness... however I can't say similar about EU rom...
Regards
Yes I noticed it's not as smooth as well like not 120 fps all the time while navigating. Also noticed the YouTube scroll lag. If you turn on show fps in developer settings when you load up the YouTube app it drops to 60 fps only.

I am planing to move to xiaomi.eu as I use android auto most of the times. But the above comments lead me to think twice..
I might keep my CN rom..

Move it for experience and for fun. Comeback later and vote it.
I noted the same thing, but it's not that big of a difference. I also have a question if your main screen starts lagging when you wake up the rear screen?

Definitely download getapps as your system apps won't update without it. The EU rom should be coming with it, it shouldn't be deleted it's imperative.

Yesterday, I manage to complete the task of intsalling xiaomi.eu ROM. At first it felt slow but looks like I was spoiled by 120hz on Chinese version. After changing back 120hz, it feels much better.
I will not vote yet as I am stil catching with my apps and awaiting first stable update to see the update process before making any decisions.
All in all, the main reason for this change was android auto for me. I tested and working which makes all this hassle worth for me. I will revert in due course about the smoothness...
Is There still a difference in speed and smoothness or has it leveled out by now ?
Recently purchased a mi 11 ultra, and I immediately noticed a few problems with it. Namely, the notifications seemed to be simply not working for some apps. Chinese apps like Wechat still work fine, but "western" apps such as discord and reddit simply do not show any notification at all. I tried some simple troubleshooting, and I enabled autostart, checked all the notifications in the settings, and even disabled miui battery saving options, but to no avail, still discord and reddit was silent. I'm trying my best to avoid a factory reset, so I would appreciate any help I can get. For reference, I am currently using miui 12.5.4, and a chinese rom of the system.
Hi I had a similar problem, notably with Acalendar, my favourite calendar app. Furnishing the app with every permission, autostart and as much battery as it likes did not help.
In Acalendar, there is a notification test option. This did not work and I got an error message that the notification was blocked, but Acalendar did not know why which didn't help much.
In Acalendar, there's and option in setiings/notifications called Sticky Date. I read this was a fix for some Huwaei phones, turned it on and now notificatons work.
I'm not sure I understand why this works, but hope it helps a little.
Cheers
Steve
ps I'm on 12.5.4 China Stable too

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I don't see an option for "sticky dates" for apps such as discord or reddit. On the topic of using chinese rom, do you have a solution for changing the app search bar to change search engines? it seems to only have tou tiao, baidu search and sogou as options by default, and I would be delighted to know if there's a way to change it.
Hi yes I realise the advice was for Acalendar only - sorry it didn't help more. I've updated to EU weekly now, so can't check any Chinese ROM features.
Cheers
Steve

Sorry dont know what phone the thread is about, im talking about the Vivo IQOO 9 pro, i dont think it has a global version and doubt it will ever have... But yeah i will google and inform myself to see if flashing is a good idea thx
hello all
Someone was able to resolve the issue with standby notifications? (
It's because of battery optimization, just turn it off for the app that has the problem. If you don't see that setting, try the app 'Hidden Settings for MIUI' from the play store. Make sure the app is allowed to run in background as well.
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.

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.

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
