MI Note Pro - ROM

What is the actual need of installing a custom ROM for a MI Note Pro device outside of China for a basic user. Does the original ROM provided by Xiaomi not stable one, I believe the Google services can be installed in the original ROM itself. Does the inbuilt ROM not support English within MIUI skin.
Appreciate the feedback
Regards,
Nibin

I have been using the original rom since last August and managed to install all Google services. So far very stable and have not experienced anything wrong. It does support English.
So I don't see any reason you must use a custom rom, but because android is an open platform and the fun part is to modify things to make it more "you" so people like to have options to install custom rom.
That's my 2 cents, and yes, I am Chinese and I do have other xiaomi devices so I don't mind the Chinese apps, xiaomi accounts, etc that pre-installed on the device. If I were a nonchinese user, I would probably just move those in a folder called "not used" and forget about them.

I use the Chinese rom and yes it does support English and works really well the only thing with modified rom you will get is probably improved GPS and thats about it

UK too, I had GPS problems like once but the reason for that was miui update. So instead of downgrading I installed a modded rom and it fixed it

Hi Mr. Kahun
I see you are an experienced user of Mi Note Pro
I have received my Mi Note Pro for few days.
I dont have root and I can not install TWRP on my phone due to the phone had been upgraded to 7.1.5 and 6.1.29 before I got this phone
I researched some forum that 6.1.7 can be rooted. I managed to install on 6.1.7 Chinese Dev Rom via Updater. But it does not root
Can you share me something that I can root my phone
Thank you

This has been answered and mentioned several times unfortunately. Please use the search function before posting threads
You cannot go from STABLE to BETA without unlocking the bootloader, and you especially cannot do it from the updater. It must be flashed. I'm going to assume that you are trying to "update" to the new version with Android Pie. The Mi Mix 2S just a day or two ago received stable MIUI 10 with 9.0. Be patient and wait for the update for us as it should be arriving soon. Beta versions were intended for developers and for testing purposes and may have bugs. It really is not worth the trouble of unlocking the bootloader and jumping to a test version for a newer version of Android even more so when a "stable" version is just around the corner. Most things will remain unchanged from MIUI 10 based on 8.1.0 to MIUI 10 based on 9.0. People have been bricking their devices due to little experience with Xiaomi smartphones, and it would be terrible to see another one join the list.

How long we wait?

Sorry for the late reply. I believe it may possibly have a vendor ROM. Your phone should have updated over a month ago to MIUI 10. At this point I believe the only solution would be to unlock the bootloader in order to flash the latest version. Unfortunately this takes about 30 days after the unlock is requested.

That's the 3UK version of global.
No updates as of yet,either be patient or unlock bootloader and flash global stable of Pie.

Yes. And to be honest, DO NOT rush for 9.0. There is severe battery drain on 10.2.2.0 and 10.2.3.0. I used to get 6+ hours of SOT (screen on time), on 10.2.2.0 I would get about 5hrs, on the latest 10.2.3.0 I get 4 hours. Others have complained about the same. In my opinion, the added features aren't worth the battery life lost.

We have 3 Mi8's in our house
Personally I am using the Mi-Globe version " globeROM_v10_dipper_9.3.21_cfg" it is fantastic! It has all of the features such as dark mode, AOD options, face unlock, charging animations, the best themes from all over the world and zero ads.
On the other 2 phones we have the official 10.2.3. While its not as good as 9.3.21 the battery life is still about 8 hours SOT.

Download Link OTA
Let's discuss pros and cons on this Rom.
1. Performance
2. Battery
3. Features
4. Improvement
5. Found Bugs or Lags
Cheers

Downloaded via DownMi. I cannot install it as i get the message ''packet cannot be verified. Sorry flash to this stable version is not allowed'' . Do i have to install via Recovery Mode? Do i have to unlock bootloader?

It's for testers registered in program. you can sideload it via TWRP

When i click on update button in settings i get a 2gb update of V11.0.11.0PCOMIXM . I didn't receive the newest v12 update yet

Nothing Android 10 Gesture

Do you know when it´s going to arrive as an OTA update? i think this beta is only for the ones who are registered in the MI PILOT

I have android gestures on MIUI 11, just turn it on

Hello, sorry for this noob question. For sideloading (TWRP), what's the installation instruction?

I think this version is only for BETA TESTERS because I download and try to flash and I can't, always got different errors, so if you are registered in Mi Pilot sure you can flash, I have locked bootloader ...

Question Should I stay on MIUI 12 while waiting for custom ROMs to be compatible or is it safe to update?

Basically what the title says, I just got a brand new Xiaomi 11T Pro and it came with MIUI 12.5.10. I know MIUI 13 with Android 12 is already available, and in fact the phone is asking me to update it, but I saw that apparently TWRP is (or was?) not compatible with MIUI 13, so...
Would it be safe to update or is it better if I remain in my current version in case a custom ROM is released for the device and it requires TWRP?

No need for twrp to install a ROM.
You will need to unlock the bootloader for a custom rom. and it will erase all your data.
updating or staying in Miui 12 will not change anything, especially since the hypothetical customs roms will be in Android 12.

Alright then, thank you!

You can also just downgrade to any version via fastboot later. I recommend using a GSI rom though, they work pretty well.

It depends on you, android 11 and 12 are basically the same with miui, the only thing you missed is monthly security update.

Question stock Android 13 for Redmi Note 11 ?

Hello,
after two month of normal using without any experiments or flashing / rooting my Redmi Note 11 stuck in an endless bootloop similar as descriped here: Xiaomi Note 11 stuck to rebooting into recovery mode 5.0 after unlocking the screen
I was not able to do any recovery so I ended up to wipe all data and now the phone is booting normal and can be used again.
But befor I'm going to start setting up my phone again from the scratch (because Google backup did not work) I would prefer to use a custom rom without all of these ****ty MUI apps like cloud, video and pdf viewer and round about 7 billion other apps which are anoying me with endless popup messages and registration requests.
This will be my first try to install a custom rom but I already found this tutorial: [GUIDE] How To Install A Custom Rom On Redmi Note 11
First of all thanks for the work of this tutorial I think this will help me doing the first steps.
So here is the question:
Is there any working stock Android 13 custom rom for the Redmi Note 11 without any unneccessary extra stuff?
seems that crDroid could be close to what I want: [ROM][OFFICIAL][12.1-13.0] crDroidAndroid 8.x - 9.x [SPES|SPESN]
what would you suggest to me?
thanks and regards
Stefan

Hi Stefen,
Seeing as how long it has taken Xiaomi to get Android 12 to our devices via OTA, and even there it appears most have STILL not recieved A12 via ota and have had to force the update...
It's unlikely we'll see Android 13 / A13 anytime soon.... I reckon we won't see stock Android 13 for at least another year or more...
Not to say we won't get it, as our devices are supposedly supported to A13 and Miui 14.... but based on timescales, we're a long way off yet...
Cheers, Lister

ah ok, thanks for the clarification. I thought Android 13 is possible yet.
So I guess the right question is: is there a clean stock Android 12 for the phone?

Hi Stefan,
No probs, depends on you're build of current official stock rom. The easiest way to find out, is download the Miui Downloader from PlayStore.
Then head to this page, and find the appropriate rom for your current rom.
This Windows app, will also help you find what you need....
Thanks, Lister

I think the xiaomi.eu roms are debloated but it's still miui

Xiaomi.eu performs better than stock MIUI but worse than AOSP custom ROMs. Based on my experience with 13.0,5, it took almost a minute to boot whereas with Evo X 13 and PE+13, it boots half a minute

Can you use stock camera with AOSP roms?
