Prethemed? You mean from Team Blackout?? If thats what you mean, they stopped doing that months ago.
I'm not just looking for a dark youtube app. I'm looking to darken many apps cuz it hurts my eyes.
Do you know if substratum works on the mi max 2?

aaah gotcha. then you shouldve asked for "many apps" directly, here i thought it was just about youtube.
i guess it depends what rom ure on. on LOS, for example, substratum works, albeit in legacy mode.

But cant substratum work on mi max 2 miui?
Also I want to ask you a question in pm about backing up and restoring my app data before I reinstall N.

no idea, ive been running lineage OS since day one on my Mi Max 2, so I dont know much about MIUI (as crazy as that sounds )
if you want to install another MIUI rom, you could check for a backup app specifically for MIUI (play store or maybe even built in), i think its calles MIUI mover or something?
otherwise, u can use titanium backup, google backup service or super backup apps

Hey man,
I needed to know if I can run substratum on it before I buy the mi max 2, just to be sure. I really need substratum for my weak eyes. I dont want to install another rom, I just would want to run stock rooted MIUI.
With the phone I got now (samsung j7) I cant use titanium since I'm not rooted. I want to know if you know how to back up the app data using ADB. Let me know.
let me inform u then that substratum does not work properly in miui. I have a rooted mi max 2 with global miui 9 and I tried to use substratum on it. Result was patchy and buggy theming which caused more problem. Ultimately had to uninstall substratum. The unofficial versions on lineage os and resurrection remix ought to support substratum but these roms are too buggy at this point of time.

its true in any case that substratum doesnt work in "fire and forget" mode. ull need to check and test each single part of a theme to make sure that there is not bugs/bootloops. afaik the los and rr roms support substratum in legacy mode only.

Hey jbmc83 & Suryashis,
Since substratum is buggy in stock mi max 2, is there anything I can do to theme or darken youtube and a few other apps? I ask cuz viewing apps in white really irritates my eyes.
What do you mean by "legacy mode?" Do you mean that the roms you mentioned work with old versions of apps?

there are two modes in which subtratum can work. the current "full function" mode allows u to apply themes on the fly, meaning u can see results right away. legacy mode, however, requires you to reboot the phone in order to see results after every theme being applied.
substratum definitely works on lineage os, no doubt about it. enough users have reported so while running that rom on mi max 2. BUT: its not "fire and forget", so u cant just take a whole theme for system, menus, system apps, third party apps, navigations bar, etc, apply it and expect everything to work without a hitch. so best to activate one theming item of a theme package, then check if it works properly. if it does, on to the next item. if not, revert the change and continue testing.
so if its really worth that much to you and your eyes hurt so badly, its worth testing all the individual items so you can have a working substratum theme to your liking
nothing really worth having comes easily.

Swift Dark works great on Lineage OS 14.1, check out my YouTube app...
As for me I have given up on darkening youtube whatsapp and chrome. For YouTube I use a patched version with dark theme and ad filtering and in whatsapp I have set a black background.

Hey xiaomi 4X,
So Swift Dark works on your phone! Good! But what about playstore? Is that themable on the XMM2?
Hey guys,
As you know I got bad eyes. They hurt when i look at a white screen and need darkened apps. Would you guys please install, 'J Dark Ice Substratum Theme' and substratum on your xiaomi mi max 2? Would you theme youtube and playstore and tell me if it works? Very importantly, could you test it with the stock rom? I'm asking cuz I dont own the phone yet. But if this works I'll buy the phone in a heartbeat. Thanks guys!!

I didn't do anything special. It was functional from the beginning.
I have this in maps as in below attachment

I turned on everything but still I can't share my location and I can't view my timeline in Google maps

Alright, I checked back and found location history off in the setting showed in the attachment. Did some digging and found that it's a widespread problem for china rom.
So, trying global rom is only option left.
Hi!
I have same problem and I think it have to do with ROM we are using. I'm guessing you are on CN ROM (as I am) and kibria.mgk is on IN version of ROM.
It must be something that Xiaomi removed from CN ROM.
I also have problem with using AR in Google Maps and guess it is all connected.
We have to wait for Global (EU) version and then it will work.
It's really disgusting that Xiaomi choose to lock the bootloader according to region,
I thought Android was open source and end-user is is free to choose what he wants ,how he wants his device to be,but these kind of things, I don't F*going understand,if I had brought something from someone then I don't have right to do to anything with the product I have purchased and I own ?
It's like you have freedom but still it's been regulated
WTF ??? Common man!!
Unlocking bootloader is like potential risk of your device to get hacked, at today everything is on phon. I mean literally all your personal data and Information regarding your bank account or your contact or your pictures,you name it you have it on your phone
And most recently it saw a news update that snapdragon proccessor has been hacked,it's named as repawn or snappawn I don't remember exactly
But what the ****???
I spent alot of money on a new device that it's better and secure than my previous device,but I'm so restricted???
I don't really understand
I feel like I should get back to my old Nokia black and white phone where I don't have to face all this ****
And just play snake game for fun

What are you complaining about. All regions are bootloader locked. All regions can unlock the bootloader. You are free to install anything you like on all versions of the phone.
The only restriction is that you can only relock the bootloader with the official ROM from the same region the phone is from.
Try buying an iPhone and see how much freedom you get to do what you want with the phone.
Same issue here on Taiwan telecom usage.
No Google Location History function in Google Map.
Can not Enabled it even install Apk from APKMirror.
On my Mi 9T Pro (global rom) everything is turned on, nothing paused, no battery restrictions, no monkey business whatsoever. Still, when I during one day by car visit six places, only 2-3 places is 'recorded' and visible on my timeline. What could possibly be the culprit here? Any suggestion appreciated.

China set is sold much cheaper then global ,of course they want to control sales within their country,but many want to save $$ and buy china set ,so it's really the user choice to get china or global set. And don't ask me why china set are sold so much cheaper.
i flashed miui eu rom, location history is on but still, my timeline is can't record any place i visit that day...
Does anyone know of a work-around on China ROMs, as that is the issue.
Possibly a patched Google Maps app or system mod?

This is a thread for Google Maps issues, but I'm on EU ROM and am using NFC happily for Google Pay after following the guidance found elsewhere, so the answer is yes.

sorry for late respond bro,
update your ROM MIUI eu stable 11.0.4.0
it works
Has anyone tested it and does it work?
I have tested and it does not work. Security hole that LZPlay uses was patched in EMUI 11.

Thank you, it is the same story like with all current chinese How-tos, LZplay does not work after restored from backup.
I've found an App which gives you GMS on the Mate 40 Pro, although its more of a Virtual Machine you run on your Mate 40 Pro so it's not as Snappy like the Phone itself but it works. So if you need to do some Banking or use one of thoose E-Scooter Apps it'll do the Job just right.
Basically you just need to Install the VMOS Pro apk, and boot the Android 7.1 System Enable the Google Services in the Settings, restarting the App and you're good to go.

Notice: Gpay also doesn't work with this Method
Sorry, but VMOS is not really an option. It's like having 2 separate mobile phones...

Yeah, international versions definitely do not work. I was hoping that after FW update on the Mate 40 pro something would change but there is no change. I am actually fine with MicroG now but still missing just a couple of GMS features.

It does not really improve anything. It could maybe help to recover licenses of Google linked premium apps (not purchased via Google Play Store!).

I need a new phone with NFC and am considering Redmi Note 10 Pro. I need NFC because of a medical device (glucose sensor). Does NFC work well with custom ROMs? Can anyone check if the device is compatible with the LibreLink app (app for the sensor)? The app should be from Abbott but it may vary depending on the region. Lastly, if it is compatible can you try to install and open the app when I tried the app on Oneplus 6T it just crashed.
I'm using NFC for payments with google pay without problems on custom rom.
I was able to install mentioned app. However after launch it stuck in the something that look like splash screen. This was tested on PixelOS (A12) rom.

Not really the sensor, in my case Abbott's Freestyle Libre, measures blood glucose and transmits the data with NFC to the phone. They are called Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) and there are other companies that offers different CGMs. If you want to learn more about them you could search CGMs and if you or anyone close to you needs one of these you should talk with your endocrinologist.
