i understand there is a site called eu.miui but i see there only the chinese rom...
and whats the diffrent between 6.x rom to 7.x rom
i want miui on my xiaomi mi4c, i already asked for bootloader unlock 5 days ago so i want to get the rom ready for flashing as soon as they unlock my phone.
so my quesiton is, what good miui rom are there to flash? or where can i find this en.miui rom download.
thank you!
Hello,
Mi4c is officialy sold only in china, so the only roms avaible are china version.
Actually we have 6.x developer rom, which is rooted, and 7.x stable rom out.
You can find modded version of the official roms that include other languages than english and chinese, and get rid of Xiaomi bloat, made by Xiaomi.ue and Smiui.net.
sMiui here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/orig-development/rom-smiui-rom-ultimate-custom-rom-t3242215 or http://www.smiui.net/mi4c_libra.php
Xiaomi.eu here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/miui-eu-weekly-builds-t3236773 or http://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
I was looking to do the same thing and customizing in the kitchen is always super convenient, but I'm torn between starting off with the latest stable or dev.
I'm not afraid the dev would lock the bootloader or anything, I know they already removed that right away :good:
But I've not seen miui since v1 and I was thinking I'd use the phone out of th box 'as is' for a week or 2 to get a feel for performance and usability, and judge other roms based on that experience. But I'm thinking there's a good chance the phone ships with some reseller bloat so I might want to wipe and flash on day 1.
There's also a chance I stick with that rom for longer since I might be traveling. So am I best starting off on stable? I don't really know the big difference between the 2, does the 6 in the dev version imply it's still miui 6 so it won't have the performance improvements? I assume both will be full rooted coming off the smiui kitchen so that's basically all I need to start with.
If the dev build has any particularly good tweaks I might want to start with that as my benchmark for future roms..
Don't worry, dev 6.1.14 for mi4c is stable and fast, you can use it without issue.
using dev version I usually wait to update for 1 day to see if rom has big drawback checking comments on Xiaomi.eu threads
Just discovered a small bit of info on their forums, of what I was wondering about.
The version number on the dev simply means the date so 14th of januari 2016 is 6.1.14
First time I've seen a company use a datestamp where the year is one number. But like you feel about most other things when looking through their forums; information is obscured
So in the stable the first number does stand for the miui version, in the dev not at all.
I will be going for the dev then, since that is where all the informed people are so there's the best chance of knowing what you're getting.

Hi guys!
I installed yesterday Miui 8 alpha from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-295006-1-1.html
ATTENTION!
This will be locked your bootloader!
I tried the recovery image, but it didnt work. I flashed first stable miui 7 from eu.miui than got I drecly a system update to Miui 8.
Unfortunately it's still based on android 5.1.1.
Here are screenshots.
How is Battery life... SOT? Thank you!
I dont know. I didnt so much used. Now Im back to sMiui. But I think its not beter than sMiui.
I use xiaomi.eu version which doesn't lock bootloader. Everything works well...somewhat. Back camera got downgraded features (only 720p max?), front camera can still record 1080p. Battery life, SoT and RAM consumption are similar to 6.5.26. I enable the battery saver, though. Plus only some apps are allowed for full background processing. I'm sticking with it, next updates should be better.
I'm using MIUI8 for nearly 24 hours now and I'm quite satisfied. Have not recognized heavy bugs (not even small ones).
The battery life seems to be similar to MIUI7 builds and worse than CM13.1 from TeamSuperluminal, which I used over the past few months.
I've been using first version of MIUI 8 from the first day it came out, on xiaomi.eu and I haven't got any issue what so ever. I find it works well, no bugs on my type of use so far. The thing is I don't find a significant change over Miui7... Do you guys? Generally speaking. There are a few functions on sharing that are diferent but it isnt something you should worrie about to hurry up updating.
My suggestion for everyone is that if you are in Miui7 (whatever stable or dev version) dont feel you are loosing something without having version 8... it is almost an appearance thing only changes. I'm not dev so i dont actually know what changes in the inside code and stuff, just speaking over a consumer and tester view.
If there is some devs who can tell what important changes are made over I would appreciate.
miui 8 6.6.23 beta. full wifi usage

what i feel is xiaomi added new theme to MIUI 7 and brand it as MIUI 8.
Nothing significant, everything same as MIUI 7.
totally agreed, i had some overheating and touch issues btw
I'll wait Miui8 on android MM for Mi4c before installing that...
Hi! Please help me out
I will receive my new Mi 4c with the Bootloader Unlocked from the re seller , Rooted and with Multi language ROM.
Do I have to unlock the bootloader with the official method (which means flashing Cina Dev ROM -to re lock the bootloader- and go on with the Xiaomi's code procedure..) or it is possible to get all things done by choosing an unofficial weekly miui.eu international ROM and install it normally from the Updater app as soon I get my device but also be able to update it every week via Updater without issues?
My problem with flashing is that I don't have my laptop and the one I have now runs win xp.
If your MI4C is rooted you can install Flashify. With Flashify you can flash TWRP. Then you can download any desired rom and install that from TWRP.
No need for a computer.... unless you brick your phone at some point.

First, just see first if you can access to the recovery rebooting with Vol button pushed.
What's your rom version.
Hi! it's been a while since I made this post and I've changed the MI4C with a Mi4... thanks anyway! Best!
Hey guys, I've been searching for ROMS that are for the SM-G925P (I have found some but they're not being maintained anymore). There is a specific one I'm looking for, which goes by the following guidelines:
Deodexed for Xposed (Systemless)
Debloated
Multi-User Support
Using Android 6.0.1
Works with a SM-G925P
That's pretty much what I'm looking for in a ROM.. the only one that's pretty close is Renegade HD, but like I said, its not being maintained anymore
I'd say your best bet is AlexisROM, so far its quite good for me, twisted kernel is also great for Android OS drains (If you do get them with this rom which I use to). I dont think most of the good 6.0.1 Roms are being maintained anymore as theyre getting ready for Android N, they're all quite stable though.
Does that rom run on the SM-G925P? I'm really curious since the last time I tried flashing firmware that wasn't compatible with my phone, it COMPLETELY bricked my phone. Even to the point I couldn't get it repaired. I got lucky the fact that it died and decided to start up again.

Hi guys,
I always read in the Xda forum but never wrote or asked a question...usually someone already asked them.
so I have the Mi 5S PLUS...but I hate the miui UI. can't get used to it. And yesterday I finally found that there are custom ROM for this device.
So I got few questions.
1. As far as i know, the source code hasnt been released but should be released soon. should I wait for a ROM that uses the source code?
2. I see that the most popular costum ROMs for this device are - Lineage and resurrection remix. In terms of battery life, stability and bug free rom. which one is the best?
3. I see there is one ROM with the tag [OFFICIAL]....does this mean it uses the source code? if not, what does it mean?
thanks a lot to those that answer

1. Source code is released but rom based on source code are not released yet .You can use them but their are some bugs,
2.You can check yourself
3. Official means official rom from lineage team or other maintainers just like Global MIUI rom from xiaomi is official while xiaomi.eu is unofficial .
You can check for source in rom page for more info about what device tree and source code it uses

Thanks for the answers. But I asked because I prefer to install one and that's it. and if someone used the both ..why not to hear opinions.
I recomend RR

The reason that people don't recommend one over the other is because YMMV. I know I came from a cyanogen ROM with my previous phone and dirty unicorns on the phoen before that (along with a whole set of custom ROMs). In the end though, I found them all to be "similar". Yes, some do some things differently like some offer a lot of CPU governors, while others keep the list pretty tight. Some default with swap space on, some don't use swap space at all (this phone shouldn't need swap space). Sometimes the difference between two ROMs is just the launcher.
For me, I don't really like the MIUI launcher. It feels a lot like an iphone. This isn't a bad thing. Some people like it. I just install Apex (from the play store) and my issues with the ROM were mostly resolved. The only remaining problem is MASS STORAGE. But, based on my experience with mly previous phone, I doubt I'll find a ROM that natively supports it. But I know how to hack my way in and get that going (just need root... which requires an unlocked bootloader... and if I am reading things correctly, you need to wipe everything which I currently not willing to do... but may have found a workaround... going to test it out tomorrow).

Wipe everything is very simple connect the phone via USB cable to PC and via twrp wipe everything then past a Rom on the phone and flash it, that's it

Wiping everything is easy, yes, but I want to avoid wiping if I don't have to.
Got the phone rooted without needing to wipe it (yay), but getting mass storage enabled failed on me. I can't seem to write to the file I need to which confuses me... but that is off topic so I'll refrain from boring you with details on that.
Back on topic, if you are switching to a custom ROM you will need to wipe things. I personally would wait for a custom kernel to come out before you start playing with custom ROMs unless the custom ROM has a feature you REALLY want. With my previous phones, the one that had a custom Kernel as well as custom ROMs was a lot more stable and had a lot fewer bugs. The one that had only factory kernel, the custom ROMs were flaky. They mostly worked, but they did have bugs. If I got a phone call or called somebody and they hung up first, it would crash the dialer and the dialer would fail to start again until I rebooted. Now a custom kernel may not have helped that, but since the kernel was based on a previous version of Android, it was unstable.
The current custom ROMs (that I have seen) are all based off of the stock kernel and not newer ones so I personally do not expect to see much benefit in changing ROMs except having different bloat and a different launcher. Well, at lest for the things I use my phone for. But YMMV.
hi
i bought mi mix 3 last year and i think its time to play around with phone
can someone outline the step i should from unlocking the boot loader to installing a new ROM (i have limited knowledge of this but i did root my previous phones) ??
whats the latest magisk version for mi mix 3 and updated links or post i can follow ?
anyone have tried a good ROM with good battery life and performance with good stability ?
my current build i am on is stock 11.0.4.0(PEEMIXM) stable
Unfortunately if you want custom android 10 non miui roms like lineage or etc. They have bugs and currently developers stop developing for them, but if you are ok with xiaomi(miui) roms and you just need to access latest features or more light weight roms you can try xiaomi.eu roms. But first you need to unlock your bootloader which will take about 7days(168 hours) then you can try above said roms.
Which rom would you say is the best for oneplus 6 ?
This is really subjective. Only you can know which ROM suits you the best.
A lot of people really like OxygenOS (the native OnePlus OS).
It can be customised and tweaked a lot without replacing it with a custom ROM
... and if you don't know what you're doing trying to load a custom ROM will cause you a lot of headaches.
If you really want to try a custom ROM, try reading threads from ...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development & https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/oneplus-6--6t-cross-device-development
(make sure you backup your stuff first and read a lot. You need to understand the whole process because it's likely you'll encounter a problem or two if this is your first time installing a custom ROM)
Personally I'm currently trying Paranoid Android Quartz 1.
I installed it a couple of days ago so it's too early for me to give a strong opinion, but so far I like it a lot.
I think quartz and treskmod have been most stable for me while still having great battery life and good features.
