I have read both opinions about ARB on xiaomi.eu ROMS. Some people say they still have ARB and some say it does not. I am also on 8.8.9 and waiting...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexusPenguin:
Hum,

So it is not confirmed that this has no ARB ?

I don't want that. My battery life is not as good as I'd expect it to, but not that worse either... I'd rather live with that than have an ARB triggered device...

Regards.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
You both can flash latest. I'm on latest. They do not have ARB.

You need to do the following:

1) Download nijel8's twrp or stock twrp 3.2.3.0, download xiaomi.eu 8.11.15 (latest Oreo), and download xiaomi.eu 8.12.13 (latest Pie).

2) Backup your system, data, and boot only.

3) Flash 8.11.15 directly over your current 8.8.9 (this is called dirty flash), then wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot to system (these two options are always there by default after flashing anything). Let your phone boot up - it will take some time, so be patient.

4) Reboot back to TWRP and dirty flash 8.12.13. Wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot to system. Be patient. It will be boot.

5) Done - no issues - wiping cache and dalvik cache will remove your app permissions/defaults sometimes, so you'll have to enable those and re-add your home screen widgets and give them the necessary permissions if not already checked.

6) Magisk will be gone, so reboot back to twrp and flash magisk 17.1 first. Then 18 on second reboot to twrp it you want to. Some say 18 doesn't flash correctly by itself.

If you run into error, let me know. Biggest bug - bluetooth bug, which randomly shut off and could not be turned back on unless rebooting - is gone in pie.

I know for a fact there is no ARB because I dirty flashed to latest pie without latest Oreo 8.11.15 and it did not boot. I restored my 8.8.9 backup without bricking or any issues. Then, I did the installation I gave you above - no issues.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] diegoocampo:
wow thanks a lot for taking the time on the step by step tutorial. I will try this as soon as I can. One extra question: once a stable Pie build is out, will we be able to dirty flash the stable build over the beta build (for example this 8.12.13) without wiping our data?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
You're very welcome. :highfive:

I don't see why not if it's from xiaomi.eu, but I also don't see the point since it's all working without issues. :svetius:

Hi opasha,

Thanks for your answers.

You're really helpful here...

There is no Adaptive Brightness for MIUI 10 Pie right? It is still automatic brightness for me.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
There's automatic contrast in display settings. There's a good brightness value fix that makes auto-brightness work better:

https://xdaforums.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/themes/miui-auto-brightness-fix-magisk-mod-t3834013/page2

It's a magisk module that you just flash in recovery. You will need magisk installed obviously.

I noticed that too..watching youtube or just randomly popping up when Im at the desktop not even using any app.

Perhaps you can write in the thread or on mi max 3 section.

I can't see anyone mentioning this yet.

And send feedback through the settings app, not sure how to do that.

Data roaming

Anyone knows what are these two options in Data roaming settings:

National roaming

Overseas roaming

I see National roaming is on by default. What it means?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bartos81:
National roaming is useful when your operator uses gsm transmitters from other operators to send your signal.

Confirm. In addition, I noticed that Gmail does not always inform me about new mail, does not send notifications.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:
I noticed that too when I got my mi max 3 and now their other Inbox app is due to shutdown early next year and it did not have 18:9 optimization so there is always a black bar in the bottom of the screen.

And Gmail can't remember to open the consolidated email folder to show all emails from all my connected accounts on opening the app and it didn't handle threads/conversations very well..

So I switched to Auqa mail and have been using it since then. I have the paid version, it says the free has ads in it.

Outlook app was mostly fine but I cannot disable the calendar, I already have a calendar app!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.AquaMail

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.AquaMail.UnlockerMarket

My requirements for an alternative email client app is one that is either native to the provider aka google gmail or a true "client",

That means it does not have a back-end that connects to their companies servers via my login and fetches my email through the servers then syncs my data from their servers to my email client app..

Frankly almost all apps works this way and there is just a handful off apps that are true email clients and not an email-sync service provider.

Always read the fineprint faq on their website, privacy policy and terms to see exactly what they are doing with your data.

Those two still maintained apps are (I'm sure there is more apps but not as often updated or abandoned apps)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maildroid

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.AquaMail

Edit:

It seems that flipdogsolutions making MailDroid will soon be out of business, their website is all gone and now only host basic information

http://flipdogsolutions.com/

Play store lists it as last updated on May 24, 2018 and clicking their website link from play store leads to a 404 page

That leaves only Aqua mail left in the category of still maintained apps..

Good list

The thread opened again a few minutes ago and files are being uploaded, folder was created on sourceforge a few minutes ago and uploading to the mirrors

Edit:

Google also said they will merge the Inbox app into Gmail until its finished and then they will shut down Inbox and its servers altogether.

Mostly the first merges was only cosmetic and sorting emails but we just have to wait and see if they will improve on the app.

Thanks. It is something to do with the built in weather app. I filled in my location in the app, but the pop-up message still appear from time to time. I froze the app from Titanium backup 2 days ago and the annoying message is gone.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:
Good, I had a feeling that I was right.

I opened that app by accident and just had a look around and in the bottom there is a string saying that the data is provided by accuweather.

Then I didn't think of it any more. This company is not to trust. I will disable or uninstall the app next time I flash xiaomi.eu

Well...xiaomi calls home as much as microsoft but all oems does, you cannot stop it all but you can try to limit the apps that do send telemetry.

Accuweather was in hot weather about their privacy issues last year: there was an old apk before it started leaking, we talked about it on mobilism when the story appeared

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...p-sends-location-data-to-advertising-partner/

Even that the articles only mention ios, android and all platforms they serve is as important in the topic.

And lets be realistic, no one reads the eula, we all just press accept and get on with our day without a clue what happens in the back-end.

There was an article posted last week for whom may be interested to read further in the topic:

Might be good to mention the change in the wifi bands in the 5GHz range starting 12/19/18.

I am still unsure how this affect xiaomi.eu rom device specific to the mi max 3.

But this is a more general change in electronic devices and not limited to xiaomi so It might be good to check all your devices and routers/access points.

There has in some way been negotiations in the bands on wifi and xiaomi will drop band 1 support that is 36-40.

The H band or band 2 that begins at 100-140 is what you will have to choose from.

The high ISM band 155 to 171 is only allowed to be used outdoor or with special equipment present (check your country law).

I have an advanced router so I have the ability to set the bands individually.

I set my 5GHz to 140 which is the highest allowed band where I live and I have my wifi to myself, no one else is using this band.

Hello everybody, New to this device (coming from mido) and actually waiting for unlock my bootloader (next week). If someone can answer few questions before.

I'm on global nitrogen with actally global miui 10.0.1.0 based on oreo

- Can I flash xiaomi.eu roms (based on chineses beta) on a global device ? Read that flashing chineses rom on global device end with a brick. Xiaomi.eu are concerned too or it's not a problem since the bootloader is unlocked ?

It's these lines which stress me "Here’s something VERY important before you flash or update the ROM.

1. Xiaomi Phones manufactured for Chinese market are not able to run MIUI Global ROM.

2. Xiaomi Phones manufactured for Global markets are not able to run MIUI China ROM."

Source : https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-miui-global-locked-bootloader-xiaomi-brick/

- Can I flash directly latest rom.eu using instructions on first post or I need to go to some beta before flashing rom.eu ?

- It is possible to lower the dpi on miui 10 using building.prop (like any custom rom) without getting bootloop ?

- As you guys are testing these builds since a while, which version should I flash ?

- pie/oreo ? Don't really mind just want to clear some ****ty apps and take back the admin/root privileges. Better to go to stable 10.0.6 or jump to pie with beta 8.x.xx ?

Thanks for you answers

Regards
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:
dpi I would instead recommend changing "smallest width".

The build prop is very crowded and I could not find the string in the file.

Low dpi works great, no issues.

I use smallest width 597 which is around dpi 289 and then I set the font size on 80%.

smallest width often resides in developer option in the settings app.

I use the pie and I have no issues..other than the weather app that was mentioned a few post back.

The app prompts to enable location services randomly all the time having to do with accuweather service.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] martin.burgas:
Unfortunatelly it is not the weather app, cause it is frozen, but the pop up message to turn on the GPS appeared again. It happened in the previous version and now in the latest one. Never happened to 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu. I have no explanation why it is happening.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SUPERUSER:

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Theseusperse:
That might be your opinion but it's a fact that they've been restricting 5Ghz wifi, not for just normal use and also hotspots for certain regions. I have no idea why, they probably don't know themselves. It's like themes work perfectly well one day in the EU, then the next they are locked but still work in Switzerland.

Anyway the best region to set your phone to is Japan as you get more wifi bands anyway (channels 13 & 14 etc), especially if you have control over your router. You can get a nice strong signal even if you live in a densely populated European or North American city.

Yes it's easy if you have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery such as TWRP. Just wipe your system and install the ROM as you normally would. Remember to disable encryption so your bootloader doesn't accidentally get locked again (although it shouldn't using this method anyway).
