I'm amazed at MIUI.AM, definitely the best customization of MIUI to MI MAX 2. The use of RAM is very optimized, the audio was bestial with the ARISE SOUND SYSTEM modification and the use of the poweramp music player. Opening applications and multitasking is great. The updates follow the official versions. The only thing to improve is battery consumption, but I think I'm to blame for using many apps on ARISE SOUND SYSTEM ?. I have already used LineageOS, RR, MIUIpro, GLOBErom, I intend to stay with MIUI.AM for a long time, recommended friends :good:
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
Do you know if there is German language include? Then i can Test.

LED Notification Work? Not how all other MIUI 9 Like This i explain here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75390748&postcount=96

Btw tomorrow i get my Amazfit Pace so i can compare with a Android Wear 1.5 SmartWatch if the Notification better with MIUI. So i want to Switch to MIUI Back only it Led Work Like it should and Like MIUI 8 or i stay on LineageOS.

1. Yes it has multilanguage support

2. The notifications LED is still buggy, it only works with the screen off (I just noticed now that you mentioned it).

I think it's worth testing, especially if you used globerom, you will see that the difference is huge! even more with OTA update support
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
Hm than their Homepage have to be updated. All language 0% Translation Status Except english.

No then i stayed on LOS.

Maybe the Led behavior is a Feature and Not a Bug. :D
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ferreci:
btw is there a chance to bypass the "after 72 hours of trying unlock" error in mi unlock?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:
its not an error, u have to wait 72 hours before you can unlock the bootloader. try again in three days ;)

Xiaomi is going insane day by day. I was wondering if they thought they could prevent users to not install custom roms or suspend from the development? I will never ever buy this dumb ass brand's products.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
This Bootloader lock for 72h and i think 5 Devices per account is for us as buyer(!!) because some Shops in the Internet sell the Xiaomi Phones with OWN Shop Rom with ad or with Spy software.

Furthermore you can not updated this shoproms and they are full of bugs.

So Xiaomi decided to put this 72h lock to the devices...

Wait for 72h i dont know where the problem is?

The bigger problem for me as german user was to find an VPN-Software to get a China IP on the Smartphone to unlock then the bootloader.

please be glad that we are allowed to unlock at all. The Amazfit Pace watch could not be unlocked until recently official from Xiaomi only with User help. Even some Sony smartphone could not unlock

The information on the site is out of date, the ROM has all the languages. But the LED bug remains.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
Same by me ;)

Cyanogen now LineageOS i used since Samsung S1 and Galaxy Tab p1000

When the Bug with Led is away (because i hope its a Bug Not a Feature) i will change to some MIUI Roms.

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

Hm now 8.2.1 was released from Xiaomi.

Why they made Always different between their Devices. For some Devices 8.2.1 is Oreo For Mi max 2 it is 7.1

Nobody understands that.

And changelog nothing said about Led. :(
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] fillerbunny:
I believe the LED behaviour that's bugging you is a feature. I actually prefer it implemented the way MIUI does - if the LED blinks, I can check what's up and acknowledge the light without opening notifying apps or swiping the notifications away. Then again, I have a habit of keeping unread notifications till I have time or feel like reading them.

The version number for weeklies is just the date of their release, e.g. 8.2.1 = 2018/2/1.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
1.:

ok it is also a solution but why they deactivated LED by Display on?

Fullscreen video without Vibrate mode on, you missed all Notifications.

This was definitely better in Miui 8 and it is in LOS better.

I am waiting for my Amazfit Pace and then i test again some MIUI Roms because the second bad thing was the behavior from Android Wear on Miui. For the pace i dont need the buggy Wear app from Google :D

Google Assistant unlock also not working on MIUI 9 but this feature i only use in Car and is not so priorarity.

One important question:

I dont find any Install step by step guides?

Factory reset

Format data (because of beeing on LOS that was really problem to switch from LOS to Miui because of not format data)

Install Rom

But:

Then OPENGAPPS?

Then SuperSu?

Or are there GAPPS and SuperSU/Magisk included?

the installation is as follows (for those who have custom roms like LOS, RR, Globerom ...):

1. wipe system, data, dalvik-cache, internal storage is optional

2. flash MIUI.AM rom (microGapps is included)

3. Flash Supersu or Magisk (not included)

4. Enjoy!

Any rom have quick reply in notifications in statusbar?

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] vassRKO:
data != internel storage

data and Internel storage are different from each other

so u need to wipe only , cache, system, data

NOTE: After wipe, U should do following steps in TWRP recovery:

-Reboot to recovery again

-then Flash any ROM and njoy :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
Is it install by default? Dont find it on miui.am rom. Or a setting / app for this...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Workaround for my LED:

Double tip to wake then the Led continue to blink.

When i use the Power Button then not.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Adaway dont work with Magisk so i have to use SuperSu. The Window with ROOT Access dont work in Adaway. This was a bug in all MIUI Roms with magisk.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In my opinion Globe-Miui was faster but Miui.am anyway it is a good Rom.

Arise Sound System is an audio modification for. android (maybe the best). You have to download, configure and flash via recovery (my attached settings).

I also use a specific modification to improve the audio of Mi Max 2 (via magisk).

To block ads I use the lucky patcher application, including blocking Google ads.

all of this with MIUI.AM works perfectly (with the LOS arise Sound System works partially).

Hi ! Hope you're enjoying your Miui.am :D I'm in the process of unlocking my bootloader and wonder what rom I should try:confused:

I'm tempted by globe.eu but I read that you have to download the whole rom and flash it again for each update (I assume all the data is wiped each time and you have to set it up all over again?)

I'm also tempted by miui.am as you can update via ota's (but less choices of customizing) Are you satisfied of your miui.am or do you miss lineageos ?

If you had to compare both of miui.am and globe.eu what would be the best choice? (miui.am don't say much on their site)

Looking forward to reading you
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
No you dont have to Setup all new when you Update globe-rom.

But you have to remember the Same settings before Download. So this is stupid to me. When one click wrong it can be that Bugs or FC can Happen.

I found Globe Rom much more faster and beautiful. The very Smooth Animation and the mods for the Statusbar.

But MIUI.am better battery.

13h since last loading. Still 73% battery. WhatsApp Facebook and some Internet Sites.

Cannot Test then OTA because no Update to 8.2.1 which is still the latest official Dev global Rom

But i have to say: i dont Like MIUI after i installed the First time LineageOS on MiMax2. I switched only to Test other roms. And Test First my Amazfit Pace from xiaomi with the MIUI to compare with Los. Tomorrow i will Switch to LineageOS back.

LOS is Always for me the best.

Dont know why especially.

But all works how i Like it.

The one Hand Mode in MIUI Not working properly. Swipe from Home Button to Back Button in MIUI works only coincidentally. Under LOS i Set Up Double Tap Homebutton and it works and works...

The Led works for me in LineageOS better. I Like when Led stay since i read the Message.

Google Assistent works only in LineageOS how it should include smartlock unlock the Lockscreen. Under MIUI you have to Type in the PIN after :"ok google"

Under Los it unlock Direct.

I Like the Mi max 2 very but Constantly annoying me the smaller things that so Not works under miui.

And I never use the infrared transmitter so this Bug dont touched me.

Best thing i want to have is Like the xiaomi a1 with Stock Android. This original stock Android on the a1 someone in German Forum Said is very very good and very good battery but it is only for a1. Not for MiMax2
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] ed57:
Nice ! Thanks for you prompt reply. :)

So in terms of speedness and features I should try globe rom? (I like miui so far) and that led notification feature does not bother me tbh.

So if I update the rom do I have to wipe cache and dalvik first?

Also is there a risk to lock the bootloader again by flashing a custom miui rom? or it just happens with stock miui rom?

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

... just one thing I dislike on miui: there is no caffeine like mod or tile to prevent the screen to sleep :( I tried many apps from the playstore but none of them works on miui9. It seems something is missing for the apps to work properly... too bad

On the other hand I would like to see the automated tasks back on miui9 (saw many requests for this but nothing for the moment, wait and see...)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andyxmas:
When I flash from one To another Rom i always:

Wipe dalvik

Wipe Cache

Wipe system

Wipe internal

Format Data.

Reboot TWRP

Then Copy necessary files to Smartphone

Install all.

When i Update the Same Rom only to new Version then only wipe Cache / wipe dalvik. And For Security i always Install supersu or magisk Direct before reboot to system.

Bootloader never locked even when i installed official Rom. But official Rom you lost TWRP. Then after that you have to Install twrp new.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbmc83:
well, would you look at that...

seems like someone over at Meizu decided to port their Flyme OS to our beloved Mi Max 2 (it actually even looks like official support from meizu, which would be sweet concerning future updates!):

https://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-164.html#7

thanks goes to user [MENTION=2692378]nikz106[/MENTION] for pointing out the link!

if someone would be interested to check this out and report back / open a separate discussion thread, that would be great :)

edit: interesting, looks like there is already a custom rom based on that flyme 6.8.1.31R build

link: http://m.rom.7to.cn/romdetail/66834

since i dont really understand chinese (even with google translate), could someone check and see what exactly is the difference to the stock flyme rom? the rom size definitely differs by 100 MB, so there must be smth...

Next Round is the FlymeOS when the biggest bugs are away.

And i think after that back to LOS again because its Homecoming :D

But can't compare MIUI 9 to LOS with the new Amazfit Pace Smartwatch :(

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] causal_andy:
Hey guys,

I've noticed a problem with my OP3 ever since upgrading to Android 7 that I can't seem to find any information about.

Since the upgrade, the volume of the speakerphone when on loudspeaker is deafly quiet. I've tried both FreedomOS and AOSPA and both have the same issue.

The speakers work fine in every other way and the issue only presented after upgrading to Nougat, which leads me to think it's a software issue rather than hardware related.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I've searched and only find references to low in call microphone issues with the OP3; absolutely nothing relating to the speakerphone's loudspeaker.
