[NEWS]Official Android Nougat update coming to Mi 4C

Heads up guys. Official MIUI based on Android 7 will be coming to our device. Just like the MI3(and MI4?), Xiaomi decided to skip an Android version which totally makes sense for obvious reasons.
From the official Xiaomi English forum:
A very good news for all Android version lovers and geeks ! The Product Manager of MIUI, Ranger has just*revealed on his weibosaying that Mi 4c to be upgraded to Android Nougat very soon ! Let me translate the whole Chinese sentence to all of you.
Mi 4c, Mi 4s, Mi Note Pro and Mi Max will be upgraded to Android N soon. Please download MIUI Forum app to obtain the latest information and updates.

Big question is when. Anyhow, not really excited as the MIUI skin makes Android OS barely noticeable.
EDIT: Forgot to add the link to the source: http://en.miui.com/thread-439882-1-1.html

as long as kernel driver is shared to dev, then good news. otherwise, i won't even touch MIUI again.

Thank you for the great news, but for what I know from Xiaomi, I'll belive when I see it.

I think miui is Rubbish,so i Like RR or CM or MK(AOSP,AOKP)at all

I'm looking forward to it. I have no problem with MIUI as it is fast and delivers the best camera results. I believe Nougat will have much better battery life than Lollipop. Also, Mi5 nougat users noted that mpdecision was enabled. Hope it's the same for 4c!

I'm pretty sure that won't happen because they released a version of the source and further updates are not required by the Linux licence from what I know.

Miui is on the don't touch list for me ... (Yuk!)
At least we'll have proper/updated vendor blobs & baseband to use on our custom roms.

Hmm... Just wait for it... Probably its coming when Android M announced..haha (random guess).
For now they (xiaomi) support latest OS on latest device too...
All we can do just hoping for old device to get Latest OS..

Hello !
Question is:
What will "Teh Scene" make out of it.
SMIUI= global Rom, and company. If the obtain it, I will give it a try.

Miui 9?

Good news
Envoyé de mon Mi-4c en utilisant Tapatalk

Great news! But I'm not sure if that will make a difference to MIUI 8. If it's MIUI 9 on Nougat then I'll probably try it.

I hope they will release kernel, so devs could make custom Nugat roms, that have good driver and kernel base.
Then I will order one more MI4C with 2GB of ram for 100$

Good news. But i hope improvement camera too. Because imx258 in mi4c is not powerfull. ?

i couldn't believe it actually, i had to double check when i saw it on gsmarena. that's excellent news ! i wouldn't expect this kind of support. i only hoped for some marshmallow back in the summer and that's all. however, i believe the update should at least improve the atrocious standby power draw and the camera's low light abilities, even the cheap p9 lite with a dated im214 does better in low light. i would also love some long exposure options.

Yesterday there was no weekly update for mi4c is published, so they are working on Android N for mi4c for sure...

Thanks. Yup, official word: "1) Update for Mi Note Pro, Mi 4c, Mi 4S suspended because we’re working on MIUI based on Android 7.0."

Thing is, MIUI is rubbish. UTTER rubbish especially after they introduced MI-Cloud (iCloud spoof) feature to their phones.... Im never going back because my phone appears to be MI-Cloud locked while I have no idea who and what has possibly the resetting feature for this. I cant even upgrade to MIUI 8 due to this crap lockout feature.

You'd think that some people would want a custom ROM though

There are a lot of Treble roms available for P20 (Pixel Experience, RR, LOS).. just take a look on the internet !

Would you recommend switching to LineageOS/AOSP? Why (not)?
Anything you miss in particular? Is the camera quality bearable?

There's a quite buggy port made by phhusson, but ported from Mate 9 so pretty useless..
The camera quality is actually bad. It is the main reason I'm not switching to LOS.
The notch is not supported at all, some texts and icons are hiding behind it.
No FP sensor too.
I've got no issues for booting Treble roms with EMUI 8.1, but some are getting issues with 8.0
I opened this on phhusson's github, you can take a quick look.

I like clean and uncluttered. So i buy my phones with unlocking and custom romming in mind, as i have a choice of software at that time. It's a personal preference.
That said, i find something that is closer to AOSP, always recommended. I'm sure there are people that don't agree. Tastes differ and i like to have freedom and own my device. I paid for it, so i can do with it what i want.
I don't miss anything, i don't have high quality standards for camera and such on a phone. There is specific equipment for specialized tasks.
It is good enough to send the odd photo or video on my messaging app.

Thanks Androlark.
Did you try the phhusson's GSI LineageOS version or LuK1337's Unofficial LineageOS? Is there any difference between them?
Are the bugs you mentioned fixed?
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/39
If I had a spare phone, I would have tried these treble roms on my device, but P20 is my main daily driver. But, I (and we all) would love to have a fully working LineageOS for P20. I am watching this space closely.

RR rom is possible?

I can't test for myself since I'm on the 360hours period before unlocking my bootloader

7/23 GSI RR isn't really a daily driver. Camera is not good. I tried Open Camera and it just flashed color to b&w and back. Picture quality was still poor. Bluetooth headphones don't work--audio doesn't come through. No VoLTE (of course). Probably other issues I didn't notice or forgot.

Xiaomi makes nice phones but they aren't considered development friendly. It might be a while before a few AOSP ROMs are available for the Mix 2S and there won't be as much development for this phone as for the cheaper Redmi models since those sell a lot more units.
The Mix 2 had global LTE bands out of the gate and because of that it was available on Amazon right away and was reviewed by tech sites that pointed out it was the first Xiaomi phone fully compatible with LTE in North America. There is official TWRP for the Mix 2, official Lineage and some other development although it is pretty limited.
For whatever reason Xiaomi did not do the same thing with the 2S. It initially came out with much more limited band support than the Mix 2 unless you purchased the 256G model which had global LTE support. There was also no announcement at launch that there would later be a global version so reviews in the west said the 2S was incompatible with North American LTE unless you purchased the most expensive variant and those reviews were never updated after the global model was released.
Because of this a lot fewer people (in North America at least) ended up purchasing the Mix 2S compared with the Mix 2.
The result is no official TWRP and no development so far even though the release of the Mix 3 is just around the corner.
Official LOS is apparently in development but there probably won't ever be a lot in the way of AOSP ROMs available for the 2S and the handful that are will be buggy because the devs will be auto-compiling those ROMs since they aren't likely to be using the 2S themselves.
The Mix 2S is probably never going to be a good phone to own if you don't want to run MIUI. Maybe Xiaomi's policies will change in the future but at the moment they seem to have no interest in encouraging third party development for their phones. They see themselves as competing directly with Apple rather than as an Android brand which is also the case with Samsung.

I used the official and the unofficial version found on XDA. Both worked fine for me, expect some minor flaws, some glitches as it's a work in progress.
I used it as a daily driver and for what I'm using it it's working just fine.
I'm on pixel experience now and it's really good too, will stay with it for now.
RR has lots of customizations that's where it shines. As I don't need all the features and prefer a clean AOSP near experience I switched to PE.

Where did you find PE ROM for mi mix 2s?

Yes, go to the Project Treble section of XDA. It's available there.

It works, but Bluetooth and some dedicated functions seem not working. And it is so stable, especially if you rely on Xposed and Magisk for daily use.

Bluetooth is broken on all GSI Treble ROMs for this device. The Mokee ROM posted in this forum is actually stable enough for daily driver IMO. Just make sure to follow the instructions in the thread from Hyapatia.

2 Questions about camera & ROM

Hi,
I hope that this is the relevant forum, if not, please transfer the thread for the relevant one.
I have Xiaomi Mi Note 3, very enjoy with this phone, I have 2 questions please,
1. When We will get OTA Oreo update? Currently I use MUIU 9.6.2.0 version.
2. How I can install Google Camera? I understand that it's better then phone regular camera app, is it's true?
Thank you.

Hi, Miui 10 is still under development - there is only China beta rom. Global developer rom is not released and probably won't be. For Google camera you have to root your device and install Magisk. In order to work properly follow this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-3/how-to/google-camera-how-to-mi-note-3-t3757049

Thanks for reply,
I prefer not use the China version.
About the camera, there is any chance not to root my phone and use it ?

Unfortunately there is no other method - you can enable Camera2 api without root but in order the front camera to work you have to install a Magisk module which requires root.
As for Miui 10 you can flash xiaomi.eu rom but the Google camera cannot be used.

The google camera is worth it ?

Google camera is taking better pics in low-light situations. The daylight photos are on par with Miui camera.

different project https://github.com/DerpFest-OP5T . clone of that aosip. with built-in gapps and pixel pieces.

On the build and seems like everything is working fine and on the Indian vendor even the widevine l1 certification is also working..
No dialer app is set as default but u can manually set it

Could you provide a list of known bugs please?

Seems stable so far for my usage. Battery is solid but at times, there are minute UI delays while opening Apps.

1. Depends upon your usage. I primarily use Social Apps, Watching Videos, Calls with no gaming and the rom is pretty stable for my use. Some people have reported BT Audio issues though. Battery is outstanding so far but can’t say how would it flair with gaming.
2. MIUI Camera is only limited to stock roms so far. You could use the ANX Camera which is the next closest to stock MIUI cam. I use Gcam with modified config and it is more than enough for my needs.

Thanks for the revert. My usage is similar and i have absolutely no gaming appetite. However bluetooth is important for me and i have a limitation to not root my phone (and magisk). I have my office emails on it and it would not proceed the safetynet. MIUI currently is not supported by airwatch and i cant get my office emails registration on it. GCam is good for me too.
Would you be able to confirm if bluetooth works please?

bluetooth worked for me. safetynet without magisk will not work. it sees an unlocked bootloader. need to patch the kernel, but most likely I will not do this.
