oh really? please go ahead and list the missing ROMs! :) as mentioned in the OP, im always open for suggestions by the user base here. Since im mostly on xda this is my primary source for ROM listing ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:
what group are you referring to? telegram? if so, thats unfortunate, because i dont use telegram...

besides, from what ive heard thus far, the ROMs floating around in telegram are usually alpha or even pre-alpha builds still being tested. they usually find their way onto xda eventually once theyre ready for publication ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:
then by all means, go ahead and post links to the ROMs! :) ill be sure to add them to the OP!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] lekhraj.gupta@gmail.com:
I didn't ser any alpha rom link on telegram. If any one want to test, than only developers provides link in pm.

It's easy on telegram to discuss bugs and features in a huge group where everyone is in a single group. Telegram group is same as WhatsApp but with additional features and options.

You should try once. I am also new on telegram.

If all else fails, we should at least see some official lingeage 8.0 roms with the official kernel source released true?

Hey, quick question. I want to use Textra, but the default google messaging app (green icon not blue version) doesn't want to let go and keeps interfering. I've set all defaults and permissions off but Textra didn't have any messages go through and I missed a bunch of messages. Any suggestions?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:
which rom are you on?

you could always try and just disable the default app or uninstall it altogether if youre rooted.

and yeah, i should hope to see some LOS, RR, xenonHD or whatever roms coming our way, especially from official side! :) should still take some time though, especially seeing as LOS for example still hasnt released any official stable or even nightlies based on oreo.

Very good source will be great if you add last updated date on these :) i know alot of work but amazing
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:
thx for that, much appreciated!

as for last editing date, just check the current edit date of the OP. i made sure to only use general links either towards download section for all phones or specifically for the mi max 2. so the links dont change when the respective rom is updated ;)

to everyone: if you encounter a link that doesnt work anymore, please tell me! so i can properly update the first post :)

first thing you can try is disabling the app, no root needed for that. just go into the app settings and click on disable, done ;)

as for removing system apps, ull first need root. u can get that by activating developer options (tap several times on build in about phone to activate) and then switch on root access in dev options.

then u can either use titanium backup or system app remover (play store) to uninstall the app.

btw, post no. 2500! w00t w00000t :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] raddest:
Grats on 2500! Awesome stuff.

I've tried the Disable option, it just stays greyed out. That's ok, I've installed system app remover and I'll give it a go later.

Cheers!

Hi guys, a question about software:

It's my first experience with Xiaomi and MIUI. Absolutely happy about Mi Max 2 hardware, it has everything I really need, not so happy about MIUI software because things working on previous phones and useful for me doesn't work here. Probably a custom Android ROM would solve all my issues but at the moment the only RR available has still bugs.

So I would like to ask if according to you changing to another MIUI version (developer, xiaomi.eu or other) will solve the following issues:

1) Notification management not like Nougat (quick reply, one finger drop down etc etc). I've read it should be "solved", but according to me not in the current global stable ROM for Mi Max 2.

2) Smart Lock with bluetooth devices not working (Huawei Smartwatch, Car Audio). It seems it works only with Mi Band. Always worked with AOSP/LOS/Touchwiz/ZenUI ROMS in my previous phones, very unconfortable for me.

3) FM Radio without RDS. Quite unhappy about this, mitigate a little because quality of sound is very good. I always had RDS before, I've read Spirit FM should be ok but I need root and I can't because I need some streaming/banking apps.

4) Mi Remote working only with my TV, not with Sky Box in Italy or my Blue Ray. Here I've a good workaround in Peel Remote working perfectly, however a working remote without ADS and integrate in Mi Home would be really cool.

5) To install update apps from Amazon App Store I was forced to disable "MIUI optimization". That's crazy for me, even if disabling the option didn't bring me any apparent problem until now.

As you can see installing something like Resurrection Remix would automatically solve all the problems I listed, and if now magisk is able to hide itself well having even root I could have really everything.

Only a last general question. I bought the phone on GearBest, unlocking the phone will void the warranty? Not clear for me, would like to have some answer from direct experiences.

Thank you all in advance
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:
if you dont want to root, you can always switch to latest developer rom and check if it has the features u want.

otherwise, id recommend LOS for now (until smth better / more stable / official comes along), coupled with magisk hide / systemless root you should be fine :) as for IR remote and FM RDS, thats app specific and has nothing to do with the rom.

while in beta, LOS is completely stable for everyday usage, just be aware that IR blaster is not working!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] dagosjt:
Unfirtunately IR was one of the most important "selling point" for me, I use a lot :) As I wrote in my initial post, I think I'll wait for a LOS/RR without "big" bugs. For what I understand notification will be updated with Global Stable 9.2, and I think that's near, for the others who knows, and about "app" problems I understand your point but there is no real solution on MIUI without root, while with a different ROM I should have what i want even without root.

Thanks for your answer!

Any update on SlimRoms?!

I used SlimRom (hydrogen) on my mi max. I was wondering if anybody on the Dev team is developing a SlimRom for mi max 2 as well.

They already have custom roms for most Xiaomi phones like the Mi5,Mi3,MI note4 etc.

I have found no news at all regarding this. I hope they are in the development stage.

Please reply if you have any idea.

If not whats the best custom rom in your opinion. Is it ok to with lineage rom or should I wait for Slim release?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:
kernel sources of the mi max 2 have only been released quite recently, its been 18 days now. so i guess we will have to be a bit patient before anything flashable comes along :)

until then, i can warmly recommend lineage os, if you can live without the IR blaster. RR brings more customization options to the table, but ull have to live without fingerprint and headphone jack.

Thanks for this list so i found a speed as hell rom:

Mi-globe.com Rom with their Rom-Builder is in compare to multirom.me and MIUI global Dev official faster and more settings. And you can disable in ROM Builder the Pre installed MIUI Apps.

Battery in Standby is also better than other Rom. 1% drain from 23:00-08:00 in Standby.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:

Back to LineageOS 14.1.

Battery was 9h Display on Time > wooow

Cons to Globe (ALL MIUI):

Google Assistent delock Not working

LED Notification Buggy

Notification in Statusbar dislike

WLAN (MIUI Globe or Multirom.me) slower or Buggy

So i am hoping for an LineageOS 15.1 official.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] pranavaryans:
try xiaomi.eu

you won't regret eu ROM
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
Multirom.me and Globe Rom Basic is xiamoi.eu with Pre Root or by Multirom.me with better German Language so i think the Bugs are the Same.

Unofficially LineageOS was the best. Bad that Development was Stop. Official LineageOS should come for us. I Read it somewhere at Google. Mi max 1 has LineageOS 15.1
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] pranavaryans:
yes, max 1 has 15.1.

Today i tried to sync repo of lineage myself 11GB downloaded still going on. haha

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] ymca:
Same disappointment from the globe.rom.

And I found it really buggy.

I came from LOS and wanted to try something new with active development, but that rom for me isn't a valid answer.

Thinking of giving a try for the miui.pro , or go back for LOS and wait patiently for the asop officials builds.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
MIUI pro unfortunately not an option for me because of no German language. So i stay at LineageOS 14.1 Till 15.1 will developed or Fingerprint and Led fix in RR - Rom

And the Update from Globe Rom is too complicated because you have for each Update build a new Rom with Rom builder.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
Oh okay. In the first Post from XDA for MIUI pro there was only show: languages ​​- Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, English Chinese

And the following sentence let me think there is no German language include.

If your language is not in the firmware, then we do not have an interpreter who can translate our settings into your language.

So i dont installed the Rom.

The creator could once update the whole thing in his first post.

Okay now, first of all, no matter. I am staying with LineageOS.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:
yes, the OP of the xda thread was generated before the german language was included in december 2017. best to google and check for current language implementations of miui pro :)

im doing the same btw, sticking with LOS until rom development is a bit more advanced. really happy with stability, battery life and customization options, so why bother? ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] alexep:
I don't think development has stopped, if you look at [MENTION=5137837]xuefer[/MENTION] github page there are quite a few recent commits and comments saying the build was successful using the open source kernel. I don't know what's taking so long to post it here but I'm sure there's gonna be an updated LOS build before long.

If [MENTION=5137837]xuefer[/MENTION] reads this, are you still working on it and do you plan to release a new version?

Hi all !

first thanks to jbmc83 for his very handy thread!

Is there anyone using MIUI Globe rom ? I'm very interested in using a very customized rom but for now I'm a bit hesitant coz my mi max 2 is very new!

I'm very interested for this feature "automated tasks" that disappeared from miui9 (too bad! especially for the automated airplane mode)

Someone can confirm it's there in the last buids?

Last question : I saw a weekly build (last 8.1.25 V2) and a 9.2.1 (is this the stable global rom or stable china rom?) Should I use the stable one instead of the 8.1.25?

Thanks in advance for your lights

Use Miui Globe Rom compare to LineageOS14.1

- LED Buggy for notification,

- Android Wear not working as it should,

- no unlock with google assistant always have to put in your PIN after "OK GOOGLE"

- install / update complicated because for each Update you have to remember the settings for the ROM-BUILDER.

- Updater APP show new update but beware of installation > it override your Globe Rom with the normal Xiaomi.eu Rom.

+ Fast as hell

+ best Battery in compare to LOS, Multirom.me and original dev global Miui

+ all chinese Apps away (also the MIUIDaemon)

+ nice Statusbar with the Statusbar mod
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] ed57:
Hi Andyxmas,

Thanks for your detailed reply. As I can see you're a big fan of LineageOS14.1 :)

That makes me re-considering my wish of a new rom :confused: My main wishes are the speed, battery life, the tweaks and moreover the automated airplane feature as well as others.

How long ago did you try a globe rom? Is the notification led always buggy? For the rest I could live with it I think... maybe...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
Here some Details Whats stupid For me in MIUI 9 Based Rom and why i Go Always Back to LineageOS after Testing other roms:

LED goes only on when Display off and suddenly Led goes Off as soon as you switched on the Display.

In LineageOS Led blink Always since you read the Message or delete the Notification in the Statusbar.

So i Received one Mail and one WhatsApp in Globe Rom: i Check Display > Led off.

In LineageOS i Check Display okay no Import to read it Immediately, Display Off , Led still blink for the reminder that there is a Message.

exactly the same when i watch Video fullscreen and have mute the Ringtone without vibrate. In all MIUI 9 Based Rom > no Led because Display on. Thats stupid. In LineageOS Led blink.

I have SmartWatch with Android wear.

All MIUI 9 based Rom the Mi max 2 vibrate simultaneously with SmartWatch Although in Android wear App settings apply MUTE Smartphone when connected to Bluetooth. Or Set Up the DND Mode and after 3 Sec my SmartWatch Set to DND to. So no vibrate on my handwrist.

In Globe it was mute Very variable. 1 Message it works next Message not

In LineageOS works perfect. And when disconect SmartWatch from Phone > LineageOS goes Back to the Last Tone settings.

MIUI 9 based Rom Always Set Ringtone to on. So my Smartphone beep when i am leaving my Office for a Moment without Phone. Stupid.

And at least: in Car i use Google Assistant for WhatsApp to send my wife or to my Office a Little Text.

MIUI Forums from Germany to England full of not getting unlock with "ok Google" Command and no really solution.

LineageOS is There also Not perfect.

Sometime it is an failure on Lockscreen with: "Google voice has Stop until you unlock with Pin"

But this is from 100 Command only two or three Times. And with opengapps nano sometimes after an Update you have to wait for the next day Update that this Feature works again.

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

Forgot Something:

Camera in MIUI based Rom Always better. The build in camera is very Low Quality in LineageOS but i installed:

MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Min_v.1.4.apk and with HDR+ Always on Pictures nearly the Same.
