LIST OF CHANGES VS Miui 11 - Click to reveal

On Monday, April 27 this year, Xiaomi presented the twelfth installment of its overlay on Android phones to the world, i.e. MIUI 12, of course. Since then, our Xiaomi.EU builds have been tested. Today we can present you with screenshots comparing the changes between MIUI 11 and MIUI 12 in the version from Xiaomi.eu. The following phones were used for the presentation: Redmi K30 (MIUI 11, 20.3.26) and Redmi Note 7 (MIUI 12, 20.4.27). On the left, there will be screenshots from the MIUI 11 version, on the right - from the 12th.

Not all changes that were included in the Chinese version will be included in this Rom - Some of those changes were intended only for China and are not well adapted to global conditions, while others have problems with the work with our software - they will be added when it is possible. Without extending, let's start!

Desktop, recent applications, wallpapers

The launcher has not undergone significant changes between versions - the desktop still has a flat form; you can also switch to the application drawer depending on your preferences. One of the biggest new products is certainly the so-called "Super wallpapers" that imitate the appearance of Mars and Earth, creating a very nice and effective animation. Unfortunately, I am not able to demonstrate this function to you, because Redmi Note 7, which I use every day, does not support this functionality (an example from another device is attached below). Currently, the Xiaomi.eu team is not planning to unlock wallpapers for devices other than supported ones.

Update to MIUI 12. This update must be downloaded manually.

The updater will not download it; and an error will be displayed. Next, please also watch for bugs that may appear after the upgrade - some basic recommendations are below the list of changes.

Below are changes recorded between March 26 and April 30, based on applications that appeared during this period, as well as the Chinese changelog:

System Appearance

Novelty- dark theme version 2.0.

According to Xiaomi announcement, it is to, among others, automatically adjust the thickness of the font or contrast to the prevailing conditions

Novelty - a new look for all views

Novelty - new animations

Novelty - the possibility of using floating windows

Novelty- greater focus on user privacy (virtual ID, rigorous control of application permissions, notifications regarding the use of permissions)

Notification panel and switches

Novelty- division into parts only with notifications (dragging from the left) and part only with switches (Control center, dragging from the right). Split can be turned off in the status bar settings

Novelty- new Control Center, including the new appearance of the Time on-screen switches

optimization- visual changes, the new appearance of functions and statistics

App Changes

Camera

Novelty- a new look for the Camera. Currently, it is only available in selected devices - the next ones will receive support gradually as part of the update (according to Xiaomi until the end of May).

Scanner

Novelty - the ability to generate a QR code from the application level (in the settings - gear icon) and save it

Novelty- the ability to enable the history of scanned SMS items

Novelty- the new look of the weather contact selection menu

Novelty- a new look of the Gallery application

Novelty - more sky styles (static and dynamic)

Novelty- the ability to choose transitions between videos as part of the video editor

Changes based on translation - may not be present yet in version 20.4.30

Health

Novelty - the new look of the application

Novelty - dark theme support

Novelty- Xiaomi Watch support (under Data Sources)

MIUI Assistant

Novelty- a card that allows you to view the battery charge status in connected devices via Bluetooth

Safety Guard

After the update, the device memory will contain an image file containing a copy of your / persist partition.

This Precaution was made because of the Xiaomi.EU developers do not know when Google activates new changes in SafetyNet, which will cause the SafetyNet test to be unsuccessful on newer phones.

When these options are activated, the only possibility for SafetyNet to continue to work will be the need to clear the / persist partition, and thus - in the case of new phones - to lose the Widevine L1 certificate (necessary e.g. for watching Netflix in HD quality).

Therefore, the copy is a safeguard against you being able to restore your original / persist and keep your L1 certificate if necessary. The backup will not restore the certificate if you already cleaned the / persist partition and you do not have the Widevine L1 certificate before performing it.

Important

These are recovery based roms which means you install them in recovery, for the absolute best performance, and to avoid issues make sure that you have the most recent firmware installed on your device. Get it here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/dipper/

Important

Additionally ensure that you always have a full Recovery backup, that includes the persist partition. The link below is for the latest Orange Fox and for the older LR Team version of TWRP both of which will allow you to backup persist separately.

Personally I use the most recent stable version Alpha Orange Fox and in my opinion is now the best recovery for the Mi8.
