.5 animation did help. A bit. Still there's that bit of delay in the response time every time I go home from any app. Made my theme and wallpaper default, no dice. Tried Nova launcher and everything was buttery smooth. But I do prefer just using the default system launcher. Let's hope they fix this on the next update.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Hmm, I am not seeing that issue at all.

As a long Nova prime user myself, I highly recommend checking out Smart Launcher Pro 5. if you install the trial for a day, you should get a popup offer to buy it for just $3.99 and along with the addon package ( I think I paid $1.99) its amazing and can be configured to look like anything you want. I cannot say enough good things about it.

Although the stock launcher has improved a lot, there are still little quirks that annoy me. such as when adding items to custom categories, those same apps still appear in the list when you move to the next category. Maybe the developers will get to it eventually. At least they are continuously trying to improve things.

On a unrelated note, I am really enjoying this new build. If I was a development manager at Xiaomi , I would hire the developers of Xiaomi.EU to develop the Global stable rom. The Global rom is so far behind the China build that it's ridiculous. I recently tried the stable build and while the battery life is good, it is missing almost all of the really cool features that make Miui 11 so different and worthwhile.

Maybe try V2 of the .EU ROM, they fixed a lot of bugs users reported.

20.2.20 v2

- Split screen works

- Recents suggestions showing

- Swipe up from corners for Google assistant switch is back and works

- -1 screen options works immediately without rebooting device

- Tap on background on power menu screen issue fixed

- Browser night mode toggle issue in system wide dark mode fixed

- Health app ok

Note: Animation & Button Line gesture removed due to causing bugs.

Yep, I saw all the issues users were reporting and skipped this version. I would flash a different Kernel over it if you are staying with it. Unfortunately the alternative factory MIUI Global Stable Q has its own set of issues, mainly GPS. Xiaomi needs to step up bug squashing in both China and Global versions of Q.

Yep, it's been all over the .eu forums. Just wait until late tomorrow evening when the new weekly is out, hopefully they fix the issues. The sad part is that there are no alternatives that can replace factory or .eu versions. All custom ROMs have their small issues where certain parts of it don't work correctly (like Android Auto or BlueTooth issues or GPS, etc). All custom Kernels also have their issues too (GPS, Bluetooth, Brightness, etc). Sadly, the Mi8 has yet to get a factory or custom ROM where everything works the way it is supposed to as well as stock (after Android PIE anyway). :(

Thank you! This worked
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Wow thanks!

I temporarily switched to the global fastboot ROM, due to recent issues that I was experiencing and you were right. The latest build may be missing a few features. However it is definitely fantastic.

The last time I used it, I flashed a recovery ROM. The performance is absolutely better this time around, with a proper complete reset.

My guess is that your fix would probably have resolved the issues that I was experiencing prior to the full reinstall.

However, it seems that Google reverted the problem and CTS no longer has issues, without modifications needed.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier87gav:
Hi, is this procedure updated?

I have some questions:

1. After executing flash_all.bat do I have to boot into system? or I just reboot to fastboot to install TWRP.

2. Do I have to format data (format data=yes) before installing latest EU Beta?

3. Do I have to flash magisk? I think there is no need to do it.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CMBoii:
Didn't you say that you should only flash your own persist partition?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Yes I did, but I was talking about a recovery persist restore.

You should only restore your own persist partition, and never someones else's

This one by Agimax is different because it's the clean image from the fastboot rom and your IMEI is not yet linked. I actually created a similar file on the persist thread a couple of months ago.

The issue that I was talking about previously pertained to people were sharing their persist twrp backup and telling people to use TWRP to restore it. That should never be done and although it will temporary work for the user ( who it doesn't belong to) it will eventually fail and it creates a much worse issue that likely cannot be fixed, unless you have copies of your own original QCN file.

Otherwise only way to resolve that issue is by using a Hacky fix, and spoofing your IMEI by using QPST and an alternate QCN files and creating a new IMEI. This used to be common, but now it causes your phone to be flagged. So If you ever see someone begging for a QCN file, dont give it to them because it's a good way to get all of your private details hacked. Even if they have no bad intentions your phone could be blacklisted if linked to a duplicated IMEI.

So back to the original question: flashing the default persist image will not hurt your phone. Your Imei is not linked until it's installed and authenticated.

Also there is no longer a need to change the persist due to recent CTS issues because the API change by Google API was reverted by Google themselves. My guess is that they will wait and do it later after the COVID-19 threat has waned.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Fastboot Flash.all is only needed when you are experiencing a lot of issues, that happen regardless of how many times you have formatted or updated firmware. Basically it resets the phone to stock but without relocking the bootloader. You should only need to do this occasionally, and if you flash things all the time.

You do not need to complete this procedure to use Xiaomi.EU. To use Xiaomi.EU you need recent firmware, and a fully wiped device including formatted user data.

Backup any wanted files first, then the fastboot flashall method does it all for you.

You simply put the phone in fastboot mode, and doubleclick the batch file "Flashall"

The phone will be wiped, in fact most of the partitions are wiped and overwritten with the default stock images.

The phone will reboot itself to MiCloud setup. ( Note TWRP is overwritten and so is root) Regardless, if you have been experiencing major issues, this will most likely resolve those issues.

Miui 11 beta 20.3.12 by Xiaomi.eu

I haven't seen this comprehensive thread for mi 8 before. It's a great effort highly appreciated. I am not a developer.

I have Few questions on user's end.

1. Widevine DRM L3 to L1

Is it possible to get L1 certification?

If yes, How? I read somewhere that it's not possible with unlocked bootloader and Netflix not supporting mi 8 is also an issue. Is there a workaround?

And if that work around involves relocking the bootloader?

2. From 20.3.5 the UI is laggy as hell.

---------- Post added at 05:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

Yes it's quite laggy and the issue is not only with mi8 but with other phones too it is persisting since 20.3.5 and it has been reported on Xiaomi.eu byany users lets hope they fix it in the next update.

Have you returned to EU rom? and have you seen persist issue recently? I moved to EU rom with Mauronofrio TWRP. Should I move to the latest beta ofox recovery?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
No I'm currently still on the fastboot stock ROM, the latest version.

However I'm certain that I may have had driver corruption, which is why I flashed the stock fastboot rom in the first place.

I will surely go back to the xiaomi EU ROM soon, since generally, I dont have issues using it. Another option is the next xiaomi.eu stable rom. That Rom may be my personal favorite for overall consistency and long battery life.

I have been content with the latest global stock release, I have root, so I see no ads. But I definitely miss some of the battery saving features, a better themes, offered by Xiaomi.EU. Plus it definitely has better battery life than stock. I was easily getting 7.5 hours on Xiaomi.EU and using stock I am barely getting 6 hours SOT.

Regarding official TWRP, I hate to say it but I had encryption issues when trying to use it just recently. It would not decrypt the Pixel ROM and the recent Orange Fox recoveries have decrypted everything that I tried with no issues at all.

So yes, I strongly suggest switching for me it's been great, plus it has all of the additional features that TWRP lacks.

I just installed 20.03.19, and it solved the the hang issues...

Looks nice, only that permission control app is strange and in Chinese...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
For the people experiencing display issues:

Aka ( what some on Xiaomi.EU are calling the blue monster) the solution is to use build prop and change the display size to the correct settings for your device. This seems to be a simple oversight, and the settings for a different ( test) device possibly the Mi10 was accidentally left, and left uncorrected for other devices. that some of us are experiencing

Personally my issue is resolved by using the default mi8 display size: Build prop: "sys.display-size" set to "2248 * 1080"

Also in developer options change smallest width to 390 . This will put the display back to the default proportions. I will post a colour solution as soon as I have figured that issue out.

Still Mario kart hang after 10sec... :'(
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
I used Root Essentials.

If using Kernel Auditor make a new entry instead of editing. Kernel Auditor has always been not so great at changing build Prop. You can also change it with a rooted file manager.

It seems that changing DPI to 440, also works. I will install and try Mario Kart later when home.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lcarolo:
Thanks for Replay, but it is not thé issue...

I finaly found :

It is not enough to hide Root with magisk.

It also check for any file like 'magisk' on the memory ans also check if there is a TWRP folder!

I read that somewhere in xda...

Changing names of files and folders solve the issue !

Maybe some other app check that also...

Sorry, I was distracted by a personal family matter and never got around to testing the app myself.

Maybe the bootloader, being unlocked is the issue? I am sure that you recall the CTS Issues that everyone experienced a couple of weeks ago? Although, it hasn't been a problem in the past - Google could dismantle our ability to hide root or even access the Playstore at all , whenever they feel like it. So our days of using root tools may be numbered.

On the other hand, try today's release. Maybe this update will return things to normal for you for a while. Personally. I haven't seen any issues, but I dont typical use that app and I dont use this phone for Pay. ( I have used Samsung Pay, and Samsung Gear watches for several years.)

Edit, after reading your post again, I saw that you changed the names of folders, good thinking! Instead of Twrp, try the most recent beta Orange Fox, it has been dramatically improved. I have been using it throughout the alphas build ( for the past 6 weeks) and It's become my personal favorite.

I have tested the latest mi-Room rom. It does not have that annoying issue., the updated security privacy software is still installed. but it is not as annoying.

Just like the Xiaomi.EU rom, the Mi-Room rom it is based on the latest Chinese beta. But it is made by different people who have implemented google services differently ( Dare I say better? Its pre-rooted and has no safety net issues.) Plus, it has a different kernel.

It has some features that Xiaomi.EU does not have such as the new gestures and the new variable Milan font. It is absolutely a solid rom, and I have been using it for 2 days with no issues other than it's theme store has some themes that have Russian words. Otherwise, no issues.

I made a local backup before migrating so I was able to bring my favorite themes from the Xiaomi.EU theme store with me to Mi-Room. We probably will not see any new release of Xiaomi.EU for a couple of weeks so this is something good to try while waiting or if you are bored.
