[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Just use the June 26 version of Mi-Globe, or use the current version with the camera update ( mentioned above) I installed Miui Pro today and although I raved about it in the past. I have now changed my mind and now prefer the Mi-Globe rom.

Miui Pro has some features, that are both nice and yet also make it feel a little dated. My biggest issue with my current install is that the screen doesnt look right, its too large, and the corners are too rounded even when the rounding feature is turned off. To be fair I installed the 6.27 version which is linked for free on this thread. The link comes from 4PDA and according to what I have read in the Miui Pro forums, the developers are fully aware that its being shared. Maybe this is improved in the most recent build?

However, I feel that if you want to use Miui Pro, you may be better off just going to their website, registering and downloading it from them directly. To answer your question , yes you have to pay them. Frankly, I am surprised that they are able to get away with it, since it's really just the Miui beta Rom, minus ads, ads with a few extra features.

However, they don't really promote themselves and only ask for $1.50 a month. They definitely have a loyal following but I would guess that they are not making any worthwhile money. In my opinion, they would be better off freely offering a fully functional trial download link and asking for a donation for future updates. In my view that approach would likely generate a lot more interest.

My favorite things about Miui Pro : wide range of animations, and iOS like notification system. Otherwise Mi-Globe offers pretty much the same package. But the biggest issue with Mi-Globe is that every 3rd or 4th build, the phone runs a little too warm. It's really better to install a good version and stick with that version for a long while, and you will have zero issues.

Thanks for that information, can you share some details about how you came to this conclusion?

I ended up having some bad issues this past few days. Issues with my phone soft bricking twice! The first time, It immediately turned off and Twrp, and my OS completely disappeared. The second issue was with not being able to mount user data, even after formatting.

I ended up using the fastboot flashall method to repair the brick, and flashing stock for the second issue. However, that only temporarily resolved the mount issue. Today I found that I was able to completely get rid of failure to mount issue by formatting user data , then changing the format to Ext2 rebooting to Recovery and changing it back to Ext4. It seems that simply reinstalling the factory stock rom does not fix this issue, it has to be done manually. It's weird because myself and others had this exact same issue with the same solution on a different device ealy last year, and I had forgotten about it.

Hopefully, you never have the issue.
