I see something new in the miui lab and face unlock works like a charm.

I get some real high drain when using YouTube (45 min around 25%), but overall I have some great sot when I don't use youtube.

They Also made something on the sound output. On my car the bass is so strong I can't listen to all of my songs (stock settings no equalizer)

Strong and clear bass, not in a bad quality in a very good one but I got 3 different type of bass in my car so.. To strong for me.

From 2.1 to 8.1 Version Changes:

- smoother (like xenonhd 7.1.1 android)

- less laggy when using keyboard to type in a message but still a little bit laggy

- more battery friendly ( around 7h sot with lte)

- killed some bugs

- add some new bugs (can't install apps need adb for it)

- worked even more on pip mode ( can now also make the next Titel on Youtube, pip open just with a random trick)

Overall

U can run it as a dd. No random reboots, everything is working. China beta.

Feel free to ask for more. :)

I don't think there is any link, it's a closed beta, testers receive the update over the air.

Can anyone help getting Google play store installed on this beta I tried using Google installer v2. It's probably not for Oreo so getting a bunch of force closes. Google doesn't work. Bunch of Google play services errors. Play stores working but I don't think there is Oreo play store available for MIUI devices.

Update I updated play store and play services through apkmirror.com. I get a Google services error when opening a Google application for the 1st time. But 2nd time no error. Get a force close from Google app downloaded directly from the play store.

Oreo twrp keeps encrypting the SD card. I've wiped the device twice now (data wipe by typing 'yes' ) and restored all my files, anyway to get it to permanently stop encrypting
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Mines doesn't do that, instead after 3-4 phone reboots it reverts back to the standard miui recovery which is annoying.

Yeah im going back to epic rom, annoyingly, after i restored my TWRP backup, I cant unlock my pin, as it says its wrong ( Its not).
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Yeah that's annoying as well, when ever you back up you need to remove the password etc before doing it. It works if u do it that way but I usually forget and have to install everything again.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] punkmonkey1984:

I tried that the first time. It just kept rebooting to TWRP. Do i have to flash ROM in Oreo TWRP or the older version?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] allrockedout:
Yeah magisk is doing that. Magisk is stopping it from booting. You have to flash rom in Oreo twrp. Boot to system. Go into developer options and turn on USB debugging. Connect to computer via adb. Adb reboot bootloader. Fastboot flash recovery twrp-oreo.img. vol+ power to boot to Oreo twrp. Flash magisk. I know a bit tricky but works.

Using magisk 15.3. Oreo twrp and lasted Oreo rom.

Only other thing if all fails is your phone's encypted might have to do a full wipe data.

Can't get this daily to boot workout replacing TWRP with stock recovery.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PoDgAnA:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nvrh79gbgrgio6d/Twrp+supersu+oreo.zip

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] punkmonkey1984:
I'm using the Oreo TWRP already. Just gets replaced after I setup the phone.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hawst:
Yes, global daily oreo builds dont have MIUI wizard, but use stock android wizard. While china oreo builds has proper MIUI wizard
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] punkmonkey1984:
I'm still thinking after I have to setup security, it encrypts my device and wipes everything as all my files I place on the SDcard are missing.

EDIT: So nothing I can do that stops the encryption returning with TWRP.

I can get it to boot with magisk installed for root, but when I boot back to TWRP, encryption is back on the SD and I can't flash any other files (updates).

Slightly pissing me off.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PoDgAnA:
Here is what I did exactly.. I flashed the zip using the same TWRP via the mediafire link (oreo one). I then flashed just the rom and let it boot into MIUI. You have to setup the pattern lock and once that is done (setup the phone) you reboot into fastboot and flash TWRP via fastboot. Then you go directly into TWRP and it will ask you for the pattern to decrypt the files (use the same pattern used on phone). Then it should stay TWRP but you will have to decrypt the data everytime meaning you will have to use the pattern.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] punkmonkey1984:
