well, actually due to the Ads of MIUI OS, you can see the ADs everywhere: forecast, calendar, phone app and so on, even in typewriting...so many china users complain about that so they download the ROM from EU or EN official website, people are more likely to make DIY ROM based on them because they seem more 'pure'. Another reason is China version has a lot of abundant apps which common user will not use them, that can be regarded as another ADs approach...But I don't like global one is the theme store just so awful, however, CN theme store is more diverse...From my perspective, they just the same when I using them...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] ArctiX:
You can root with magisk to debloat the rom from unnecessary system apps and adaway to get rid of the ads.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Saiger:
someone should link them this https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] jayxiao171735:
Bro, I know root can deal with everything, but for a common user, especially people know nothing about IT knowledge, they even don't know what is ROOT and Magisk, they just want to use the phone in an easy way...so ADs is definitely a bad thing, but the ADs will disappear in foreign countries, I guess that because the AD server cannot send ADs your phone...

china update 8.8.16 (ota was 160 mb)

http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.8.16/miui_MIMIX2S_8.8.16_f50f148a4e_9.0.zip 8.8.16

Also apparently the global version is still based on an older adaption version of pie which would explain the long delay of updates. Tomorrow or next tuesday im sure.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] PWn3R:
Can you install the global OTA from the MIUI beta using the updater app without unlocking the bootloader? It's been over 400 hours of waiting and I still get the wait message in the unlock tool. Getting kind of pissed about waiting.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Saiger:
not unless you are a beta member

OK, this morning it finally let me unlock my bootloader. What is the best process for installing the global version now? Flash from TWRP?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Saiger:
yes flash the pie beta build with twrp (wipe and format data). but you if you flash back to oreo your camera will stop working.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] ArctiX:
If you do a full twrp backup before going to p beta and restore afterwards you'll not break anything. I was on global beta and went back to xiaomi eu this way without problems.

You need to flash a factory Oreo image through miflash first. Can go back to .eu rom after if you like.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucas_Maximiliano:
So where do you read 8.8.16 was released for closed global beta?

I cant find anything about.

Also theres no open beta update this week, again.

What is going on mix2s?

Enviado desde mi Mi MIX 2S mediante Tapatalk
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
There's no beta update for the Mix 2S because the current updates for the 2S are Android Pie and for beta testers only. We won't receive another OTA of the developer ROM until the Android Pie build goes into public beta.

In Xiaomi-speak the version being used by the beta testers is an open beta. Public beta is the version non-beta testers can use and that gets weekly updates posted in the Xiaomi Community App.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucas_Maximiliano:
Maybe for "china beta testers only". Because it seems global testers arent getting any update since 8.8.7 :(
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Saiger:
no closed global beta got the 8.8.16 update yesterday. but its more of a bug fix update. Its is still based of an early and outdated pie adaption version.

Closed beta updates will be suspended from 20th august to 29th to get the newer versions of pie.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucas_Maximiliano:
Glad to know that, so after 29th could we expect developer version of Android Pie?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Saiger:
we already have one available
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Z953RR:
Both global and china???
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Saiger:
yes both versions.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucas_Maximiliano:
I think no. Theres a developer (open) Miui10 Oreo (not Pie).
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Saiger:
8.8.7 and 8.8.16 based on pie were released for closed beta...

did u even look at the first post?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucas_Maximiliano:
Maybe you didnt understood my first question, wich I meant "developer" wich is NOT the same than "closed beta".

I asked if after 29th there will be soon a DEVELOPER (open, public, and downloadable from miui download page), NOT a closed beta, wich is right here at first post.

So you answered me saying there is already one of them, but you didnt understood what I was meaning.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
My guess (and it's only that) is mid-September for public beta (downloadable developer build) of Android Pie on the 2S global ROM. China version will probably come out sooner. Stable MIUI 10 is supposed to come out for the 2S around mid-September so that will have to be the Oreo version and not Pie. I think Xiaomi normally goes about 6 weeks with open beta (beta testers only) before switching to public beta (the developer ROM the rest of us can use).
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] PWn3R:
I have installed the Pie MIUI 10 beta build. However, MMS is broken at an APN level on this build for my carrier. I can't edit the settings because it's disabled for a long time now on MIUI. Is there any way to get back to MIUI 9 or 10 with a working camera if I don't have a TWRP backup?

http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.8.16/miui_MIMIX2SGlobal_8.8.16_50fc174388_9.0.zip 8.8.16

This is going to be the last update for a while because they are upgrading the baseline pie version to a newer one. No updates from 20th of August to 29th of August.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] mattman83:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisvuong:
thanks for sharing.. i'm in 8.8.16 China beta P. do i need full wipe to switch to Global beta or just flash on top of it?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] mattman83:
Going from global to China you need to format data and flash again from scratch... I assume it's the same going the other way too. Encryption is done different and /data and internal storage get messed up if you don't format.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] arddy1:
Awesome update. Annoying bugs are fixed in this update. Heres previous bugs:

- cant dismiss some notifications

- autobrightness too dark, sometimes not working

- long press after selecting text in browser url bar causes permanent watermark

- double sound notification in message

All are fixed. The autobrightness is even better than miui 9. Plus the addition of 60fps video recording (even still dark and buggy). Ui animations are blazingly fast in android p. I'm quite satistisfied now and able to use this phone conveniently until next update. :o
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] DungHD:
Clean install with 8.8.16 global build. Everything work fine, no error on my phone. But screen is darker than others ROM (xiaomi.eu or miuipro) with same brightness level setting.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] PWn3R:
I tried to install the global this morning. I can't get my Google backup or my MI Cloud backup to restore. Both just sit there. Anyone got any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I'm not sure how people are installing this. I used the latest unofficial TWRP, formatted the data on my phone, sideloaded the zip but after I booted up and was a few steps into the setup process it asked for my password. There shouldn't have been a password since formatting data is supposed to remove existing encryption. I screwed around with this for a couple hours but could never install the zip through TWRP where it would let me go through setup after the ROM booted up. Is there something that I'm missing?

I was able to install the China version without the same issue but I didn't like the China ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] Saiger:
your xiaomi account is bound to your device and will stored on a special partition for it. You cant wipe it since its a security mesasurement. Why dont u just log in with your xiaomi account?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
You can log into the Android setup screens with the Xiaomi password? I thought it was looking for a device password like a pin. I didn't run into that issue with the current China Beta or previously when I flashed the MIUI 10 Global Beta with TWRP before the beta went public. I thought the problem was caused by TWRP not being compatible with Android Pie yet.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] damironi:
I have done a ADB sideload from 8.8.7. to 8.8.16, don't lose any data.

Fix:

+ Gallery has now again the options for blur, light, studio

+ After locking screen, and unlock the device not stuck so you don't need to lock and unlock again

+ No watermark when you copy links

Thank you Saiger
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] arddy1:
I think its not encryption password if you can enter to setup screen. Maybe its a google device protection. That happens if you dont log out google account or activate oem unlocking before wiping data.

To pass setup screen, just rename SetupWizard.apk in system/priv-app to other extension in twrp, it will skip the initial setup..
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] mattman83:
Password on setup can either be Google protection (will say it needs password of previously logged in account) or Xiaomi can do similar too, will specifically ask for Xiaomi login details. Shouldn't be anything else at all. It has nothing to do with encryption, it's all about making the device useless if it's stolen or lost.

For the google account at least, if you plan to sell device, remove google account and then use the rom-side factory reset, will be OK for the next user without requiring previous account.

what would happen if I were to dirty flash the global rom 8.8.16 from EU rom 8.8.3?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
It's not asking for a Google account password. I purchased a used phone a couple months ago from somebody who didn't remove their Google account. I know what that screen looks like. It's also not asking for an Xiaomi password. I know what that screen looks like as well. It's asking for the encryption password immediately after the setup screen when it asks whether I want to set up my device fresh or from a backup and whatever I choose it asks for the device password before it will go any further. If the memory on my phone is reformatted that screen should not come up. That's the screen you get on a phone if TWRP can't decrypt properly and you flash something with TWRP without first removing your screen lock.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] e2vinay:
First thing it's wrong section

custom ROM depends on users choice and usage and different people may have different views

if you look for best stability but limited customization opt for omni ROM or AOSP-E

If you looking for super customisations then go for CrDroid, Resurrection Remix, Havoc-OS etc

but if you looking for balanced one along with decent battery backup go for MiracleDroid

my recommendation CrDroid

daily driver ( must try) : MiracleDroid
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] BentMetal:
I found that the latest AOSiP (Illusion Project) combined with Stormguard kernel gave me really excellent battery life, had lots of options and good performance.

I also really like Alexey711's LineageOS Extended. I don't think he posts here on XDA, but keeps his wares on AFH. He updates regularly and provides lots of good options.

Then lastly, I also love MIUI 10. I prefer Xiaomi.eu's version, but also really like Escobar1945's version (eagerly waiting for that update!).

In the end though, every single user has different needs and different usage patterns. Best thing is to try them all. Try different combinations of ROMs and kernels until you find one that works best for you.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kmp14:
Just got Pie on my pixel 2 xl. Since Bluetooth Volume control is horrible on pixel devices (i.e. Volume level 3 too quiet, level 4 too loud, annoying) I was pumped to find the "Disable Absolute Volume" developer option in 8. In Android 8 that option would allow for more precise control of Bluetooth volume since it separated Android and bluetooth device volumes. Well, in Android P that option is still there but DOES NOTHING. Changing the volume on the BT headphones also changes it on the Pixel. I have tried all the usual tricks like removing all paired devices, rebooting, etc. Argh. Anyone know a trick to get this working again? If not, does anyone know of an app that can achieve this without ROOT? (I use Anroid Pay a ton and don't want to root and lose that).
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kheltek:
Got the same issue on xl2. I was told that it works, but the behavior changed. It is now intended to disable or enable individual volumes for each connected device, as opposed to separating the headset volume rocker from the phone's volume setting. Sucks on many levels, not much can be done about it.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kmp14:
Thanks for the response, but NO WAY

Thanks for the reply, but I can't see how what you are saying is accurate. 1st, the saving of individual bluetooth volumes has been widely reported as a new feature in Pie, and I can't find anywhere that states that the feature has to be turned on or off in Developer Options.

Even IF what you are saying is true, there is no way they would bury a toggle for saving bluetooth volumes in the Dev Options, AND hijack a feature named "Disable Absolute Volume" to control it. That does not make any sense.

"Absolute Volume" is the "feature" that ties changes to the volume on a bluetooth device directly to the phone (or tablet) volume. They wouldn't dig into the code of the "Disable Absolute Volume" and totally change its' function but not change the name.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kheltek:
Okay, first, the use of all caps is unnecessary. Second, it’s not a matter of what I’m saying as true or not true, as I stated in my post, I was told, plain and simple. I’m equally frustrated about the button not working, it’s messing with the audio quality for sure. Good luck finding answers.
