Hi there. I have a Xiaomi Mi 8 (from Three) which I have currently got the region set to India, mainly so that I can use Face Unlock, Theme Store, etc.
What I'd like to know is, if I continue to use the Mi 8 under the India region, will I still get the MIUI 10 update when it's released, as its not set to UK?
Thank you for any help on this matter.
Unlock your BL, install MIUI EU and you can freely choose any themes you want without any stupid restriction from Xiaomi.

Thank you for your response, but I haven't a clue how to unlock the BL and where I'd get a non hacked version of MIUI EU from.
I'd probably end up bricking the phone. lol
I'm just worried that if I keep using it under a different region, I won't receive the update.

Usually updates are pushed to phones based on the build number. If yours is a UK variant then it'll have a UK variant build number (most likely). I wouldn't have thought the region setting you put in when first starting & setting up the phone would make any difference. But don't quote me on that...

Many thanks for that.
I initially bought this phone as a work phone, but I actually enjoy using it more than my S8+, plus I've heard that MIUI 10 (plus Android Pie) is way better than MIUI 9.6.
Thanks again.

I'm actually not an owner of the phone myself (yet) still torn between this and the Honor 10. Hard to choose between such good budget phones these days.
Glad I could help though.

I can confirm that MIUI 10 based on Pie is WAY better. Just the "OK Google" hotword detection to fix and it'll be pretty much perfect.
I'm in the UK, use mine with both my work and personal SIM in - I'm running the latest ROM from Xiaomi.eu (MIUI 10.2 - Weekly 8.11.23).
It's great.
Also have installed the custom GCam for it, which is superb! I use the Xiaomi cam for video and portrait mode and the Google Camera for everything else - night mode is seriously impressive.

I bought my daughter the Honor 10 for her last birthday. It's a great looking phone with a very good camera/cameras. The back of the Honor 10 (blue) has to be seen to be believed, it looks amazing.
I must admit, the Xiaomi does have the edge when it comes to the screen, but it is a close battle.
I do love the camera slightly more (it's very close) on the Xiaomi too, but everything just seems a little more stable with the Honor 10 and it's EMUI skin on Android 8. I've had a few older apps that have refused to run on the Xiaomi.
That will hopefully change on the next Xiaomi update.
How

As no one is not giving a answer, so I'll try to help you out.
It's no matter what you have chosen, if you have the stock recovery, you'll always receive OTA updates. You can not change the stock recovery without an unlocked bootloader which can be achieved by the official tool provided by Xiaomi, for further information, use Google.
Unlocked bootloader gives you access to all functions of your device, and this means that you can use even a Pixel device Android "mod", and it's the closest to the native Android.
If you are using IM apps too often, you'll notice that your notifications are not being delivered just in time. also, MIUI has tons of bloatwares and limitations that won't allow you to use your device freely, and appearantly Xiaomi is collecting some "not innocent" data from your phone, so you might want to consider your privacy. These are just my perspective as an user that was on Android for 7 years, I hope you will enjoy your device.
Have a great night.

Unlocked bootloader won't let you to receive any updates. Do you use Global rom on aChinese variant?

I haven't got an unlocked bootloader as far as I know, bought the phone as a global stock phone.

Perhaps you will need to update it manually. Get the very first Android 9 release from official forums, and try to sideload it.
Hi.
Im quite New, so might be a bit stupid.
Im trying to roll back the EMUI 10 beta. It has disappeared from My Beta App. When trying to do a factory reset it just starts up with EMUI 10/Android Q.
Have tried to flash it with a 9.1 version, actually with several versions, it always fails..
Any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.
Reason that a want to roll back is because i cant use Android Auto buildt into Android Q in Denmark, and cant install it from APK.
Kind regards
Morten
For me project also disappeared in BETA app... I wonder whether Huawei decided to go live and make that build official?
And I don't see any option to downgrade either

Connect to PC via Hisuite, you should have an option under system upgrade to downgrade to 9.1.
Talking to Huawei rep today, it looks like that they have already started the official rollout of v10, so that it probably the reason why that is not a beta anymore. I asked them because I wanted to know on why the new P30 Pro purple was sold with V10 when black version with V9. I was very curious to know if there was any hardware difference or just software.
Hi guys, I tried to install apk to enable native call recording for Amdroid 9 but on EMUI 10 it doesn't work. Do you have an idea how to enable it?
Call recorder p30
Never had it on my P30 before, but would really like it now. I'm on EMUI 10...
Only solution for now is to downgrade to EMUI9.1, install Call Recorder and then update to EMUI10. After update from 9.1 it works well.

emui 10 call recording
dears final saying
does call recording work with emui 10 or not. some say it does and some say it doesnt
mate 20 pro or p30 pro devices
It works on EMUI10, but can't be installed on EMUI10. You must have it on 9.1 and do upgrade to EMUI10 via OTA without factory reset.

I am able to install it on version 10. It shows the record button but not working. Im sure a developer can help with this issue.
I am able to install it using apk editor pro. All I did is changing the install location from auto to internal. I don't know why it is making any different, only remember that I read this solve the same issue.
So im sure that if an android developer will take a look at this and change some other thing with apk editor we will be able to install it properly.

That would be great! I saw that there is a beta version for EMUI 10 for Mate 20 Pro, maybe soon there will be for P30 Pro.... hope so! :good:
If someone could help finding a hack, please post instructions on how to install native call recorder for huawei p30 pro emui 10.
Downgrading involves wiping out the device, so that's not an option for me, even with backup and restore.
:fingers-crossed:
At this moment You can not do anything else. You must go back to 9, instal recorder and then upgrade to 10. If this isn't option for You the You must stay on 10 without call recording future.
anyone found a working call recorder for emui 10?
Downgrade to EMUI9.1 (with HiSuite), install Call Recorder and then update to EMUI10. HwCallRecorder.apk works fine.

I've just received a new Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite (MIUI Global 10.3.1)
is it safe to update to 11.3.4.0 or it's not a stable version?
Update ?: after wasting this whole couple of days searching and reading forums, it seems that all Xiaomi's updates for "Mi 9 Lite" are full of bugs and issues, so I'm going to stick with the old (Global MIUI 10.3.1) Version.
it's the first & the last time i buy a Xiaomi phone. ?
they don't give a sh** about their customers.
As long as you don't update to Android 10 you will be fine.

Thanks for your reply, but as i see a lot of people reported bugs after updating to this version. but most of it was at the end of 2019. I'm not sure if Xiaomi fixed it since then.

Thanks for the infos, but that's not the global version. i guess it's EU version. I'm afraid to update the phone to the Global 11.3.4.0 without knowing that Xiaomi fixed the bugs in this version.

yesterday i spent the whole day reading forums and most users are not happy after upgrading to Android Q (10). so you are lucky ??

I'm using MIUI 11.0.2 (Android 10 with April Google bug fixes) on T-Mobile in the US and VoWiFi and VoLTE are both working great. There are a few bugs, but nothing preventing me from doing anything I need to do. The biggest one I have is file managers (built in and third party) crashing trying to render certain thumbnails.

@Serjgor
If you are rooted you can try this it is not my work and was made for op9pro color os android 12 don't know how dated it is.

Re-uploaded with location from op10 pro oos. Please try
