My company uses the the VMWare HUB application to provide email ect to personal devices. That app uses the Android for Work profile to create a second workspace on the phone. With the MIUI software this is broken because there is way to much customization done to Android. With other roms i run into different issues which is due to the GAPPS not working (not correctly signed / trusted). So for my MI 9 there is no option to get the Android for Work profile working as far as i know. Some XIAOMI.EU roms kinda work, but not really reliable or always with some bug / limitation.
So.... is there anyone else that tried Android for Work on a Xiaomi phone? And got it to work?

The opengapps work just fine with Android for work. I've used them (nano) with custom roms like Omnirom with no issues at all.

Ok, good to know. I see it creates some apps in the profile but not the play store, so i suspected some issue there.
Wrong forum section.
Hi all,
I was one of the lucky ones to be asked by OPPO to test ColorOS 12 on my X3 Pro.
Because of the NDA i'm not allowed to show screenshots, but I am allowed to answer questions.
In general I can say it needs a little bit more work.
- There is an issue with the fingerprint access in some apps.
- My Bank app does not start (not even after a reinstall).
- The Wifi icon in quick settings looks like wifi is disabled, even though it's enabled.
- At first there was a floating icon for Bitwarden that I could only move around, but not remove from the desktop. After two days it disappeared.
- The power menu now finally shows available smart home commands to use from the menu.
- I'm using Nova Launcher, and that still seems to work fine.
- The screenshot functionality has been improved a bit.
- There is an occassional freeze
- Not all of the new gestures work as advertised
- The speed of the OS is quite good
- The refresh rate seems to be locked at 120, except when watching a YT video at full screen
- one time I got a call and my screen remained black, I couldn't take the call
Hi and thank you for your feedback from using ColorOS 12.
Interestingly. Is it for global or Chinese version of mobile?

The global version. I'm in the Netherlands.
Hi. I was checking the APKmirror website and it seems that they have uploaded some of the apps extracted from the android 12 update. So far I have installed the Photo APK, the files manager, the clock, the screenshot, compass and maybe some more. I have to say that they look very nice and a little more elegant than before.

Oops, now i got two annoying floating icons that do nothing and can't be removed.
Has anyone seen something like this in ColorOS 11?
Device: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra
Carrier: T-Mobile
Rom: Xiaomi.eu (12.5.4 Stable version)
So last year when I was unable to purchase a Samsung 21 ultra I decided to look at other devices and purchased the Xiaomi with the understanding that it was a good device and the .eu version ROM is relatively good. After having the device with this ROM on it for several months I find it overall lacking and wanting to switch to something else or just load the default Xiaomi Global ROM on it.
I've heard of other ROMs like Pixel Experience and LineageOS but when I try to research it I'm finding unreliable resources. Due to this I figured I'd ask a few questions here. After the questions I'll leave a pro cons list of the device and the ROM Version I've been using.
- Does changing ROMs change the bands used from a reception standpoint?
- Does anyone else have my device and used another ROM? If so what do you like about it.
- Does anyone have experience or know reliable sources to research other ROMs for my specific device?
- has anyone that used the .eu ROM switched to back to the original global version and did it change anything regarding battery life or all functionality with recent updates?
Pros:
-fast charging is amazing fully charged from less than 10% in 20 min or less
-best camera I've found on the market with more features than I you'd even think of!
-smooth functionality for native applications
-abundance if settings for security that while can be cumbersome give you a lot of choices about app access and how they interact (with other apps, home automation, etc)
Cons:
-battery life doesn't last more than 4-6 hours with use of light gaming even with settings turned mostly to power save
- .eu Google integration is very clunky and seems to conflict with devices natural system which leads to missed/texts calls, reception issues, delayed or poor integration with other apps like Android auto
- odd bugs happen where mutli screen will randomly turn on or keyboard in text apps (all of them) will randomly disappear and you either need to restart device or go through multi-step process to bring back up
-Too many security settings. While it's nice having higher levels of control it would be ideal to have the ability to set a default security level when downloading applications vs having to do make changes when you download or after the fact

Hi Elul,
First of all, you are on Xiaomi.EU very old version, SEARIOUSLY OLD, right now it is 12.5.20, which results in a very old review of your device, many things has changed.
I use this device since May, I am using global device with global rom (international version). there are different roms for this device as follows:
-international version RKAMIXM
- INDIAN version RKAINXM
-Indonesian version RKAIDXM
-Europe official version RKAEUXM
-Chinese version RKACNXM
-Euro rom (not official) which is RKACNXM modified
I've done a research on this device bands and there are different outcomes, CN and global are all using same bands. or that international version got different band coverage than CN. you can search online and you'll find same result.
I've checked on T-Mobile coverage online and you are covered mainly on everything missing 2 bands on 5G: https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/xiaomi-mi-11
Check T-Mobile section.
As of my experience, my device is the international global version, I've switched to EU rom (not official) and tried it for about a month, and I regret it. switched back to the official global rom and since then device has improved by much. I found EU. rom is so buggy and battery drains really fast, even though i've removed bloatware which did not help. and memory management is pretty messed up. with global version i have late updates but very stable device, smooth, very good battery performance, camera is really nice (i know it is behind CN and Xiaomi.eu versions but still really good). so as of experience, i'd say official roms are best.
A bit of research in this forum and you'll find all possible roms you can install, and methods to install them, issues you might face and how to avoid, and it is really simple. spend a day of reading here and there in XDA and you'll be surprised of what information you can find.
Update your device to latest rom of EU version which you are on, and you'll eliminate a few Cons, and if you jump to global rom, you'll eliminate all of them except camera will fall a little behind (still not a Con, just falling a little behind CN version).
At least this is my experience (and a few others) with the device. other people might have different thoughts regarding how efficient is EU (unofficial rom).
hope this helps.

Thank you so much for the info. Can you tell me about the functionality difference between the .eu and current global version you've seen?
Specifically integration with Google apps (photos, auto, etc)

With global version, they come preloaded with google services, and set as defaults, (except for gallery, music player, and video player), that can easily be changed through settings to whatever app you have. but for me I replaced only gallery, even though gallery has some really great features which I use sometimes, but because all my photos on the cloud I have to stick with google photos. Video player is really good, music player I don't use since I use youtube music.
default search engine is google and no Chinese topics or wording anywhere at all.
all of useless MI apps are not installed by default.
Simply saying, a normal global device, not a Chinese one.

Oh lord. You need to update to the latest. EU rom.
12.5.20 contains fixes for all the things you mentioned, plus already features the Global Enhanced version tweaks to performance with refinements to make it even better.
If you switch to a Global stock rom on a China only variant, you'll loose the ability to use Google Pay and a lot of features so only do so if you're happy to lose out.
As your complaints stem from just not updating for months and months it's not something you'll solve changing roms, instead install the. EU rom update via TWRP.
I'm in the US on t-mobile with a china model flashed with the global ROM. you will not have access to 5G. It is however, very easy to root it and have no problems with google pay or any banking apps.

Hello, I have the Chinese version, which originally came already with the bootloader unlock and with the global version unlock. I really like the global version, but couldn't use a couple of my banking apps, I tried installing magisk and the fix to hidden it but for some reason the device wouldn't pass the safetynet test causing my device not to be certified and my bank apps not to work. Because of this I had to move to xiaomi.eu version, now it pass the safetynet test and all my bank apps work as expected but I really prefer the global version. Is there an easy way to install the global version but passing the safetynet test so my bank apps would work? Like I mentioned I tried different guides to install magisk and the fix to hide it but it wouldn't work, not sure if I did something wrong.

Use V1.2.0 of the SafetyNet fix. Not the latest version (2.2.1).
https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/download/v1.2.0/safetynet-fix-v1.2.0.zip
Just remove the latest, reboot, then install 1.2.0

1st, U must understand what is weekly rom and what is stable rom
And depend on what u need, u will find the most suitable rom for you
Dear mi11ultra users, I have received a good news. Our device has finally ushered in AOSP. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. I am not a developer. He comes from a developer: akashniki.
I am only responsible for reprinting his achievements.
The ROM address is as follows：ROM
Did anyone try ? Bugs ? Can this be used as daily driver?
I really hate miui and wish to shift aosp very badly
At present, I have found the following bugs: 1 Infrared sensors cannot be used. 2. The 5g signal in China is getting worse. 3. The back screen cannot be used

I dont use infrared and in india no 5g... So these compramise are better than miui ... Idk why lockscreen clock fonts are so bad.... I have to keep some good custom theme... Where i cant even change background...
the 5G requires someone with a global version phone with root to send some files.
infrared is going to be fixed soon, back screen is still a WIP.

The lock screen large number will only be displayed without any notification, which is the same as the pixel mechanism. Google's built-in wallpaper software has many good dynamic wallpapers, which are still good

There is updates comming as soon as the developer find reasons, for the moment 3 updates is released!
I tried the installation. Followed exactly as written. I installed the lastest .EU weekly, replaced the recovery, factory reset/data wipe and installation of the ROM with ADB sideload. All smooth without any issues. Afterwards rooted the phone with Magisk 24.3 and started reinstalling apps/restore from Swift Backup. Until now I didn't have any issues. Pictures look similar (as far as I have seen) and phone is very fluent. I don't use the rear screen - so not really missing it. For 5G - at least it shows 5G here in Germany. If it is really connected with 5G I can't really say. On MiUi it always showed the type of connection in the status bar. Here it is not the case. But until now I don't regret it. No china spam . But I replaced the launcher immediately with lawnchair. The standard pixel launcher is too simple for me. Thanks DEV !!! Looking forward to further updates.
What are the advantages of this rom compared to the EU one? Thinking of switching but being hopeful to know what I'm heading towards
Very good question. In general I would say the biggest advantage is just a pure and actual Android without any Chinese bloatware and MiUi. For the rest I can't say much at this point as I just installed it last night. But so far it looks everything works what I need (Face Unlock, Fingerprint, Camera....).
Correction. Once you are not connected with WiFi anymore it shows if you are 4G or 5G connected. So all good .
I always have issues understanding slot a and b..I tried flashing..it was showing active slot a... Fw done ...PE ROM done... Active slot changed to B (not sure if it's normal)..then when I tried to flash magisk error occurs
Don't flash Magisk at that point. When you have setup your phone you can install Magisk as a normal APK. Then copy the boot.img from your PC to your phone and run Magisk. If you want to install it - it can only patch the boot.img at that time. Let it do so. I will create a magisk_patched boot.img. Copy this one back to your PC and bring the phone into fastboot. Then with the command "fastboot boot magisk_patchedxxxxxx.img" the patched file will be used for booting but not written on your phone! In case of any issue you can easily restart and no bootloop. Once the phone started correct you can go again to Magisk and use the first entry for installing it. This time you can select "direct install". Let it work its magic and you are fully rooted.
I noted a new issue... During call...due to proximity screen turns off..and it's very difficult for me to turn back on...
Only issue noticed so far... Remaining is so fluent as expected
After knowing the amount of process in rooting...and things that can go wrong...it's better for me to stay unrooted.. lol...
And wish to know he is battery backup ?
