Is there a folder to automatically install .zip (magisk) after each firmware update?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
My best practices instructions are here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/9-12-19.53895/post-521845
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lycanwrath:
Ok thanks, not possible to auto install .zip after update then.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] najabi:
Anyone can't see floating (pop-up) notifications on stable or weekly? I can't see them on weeklies since november or so and there are users complaining in xiaomi.eu forums aswell. I have them enabled for all apps, Android-style and with highest priority on Whatsapp for example. In whatsapp notification options I get the 'floating notification' setting blurred out, and when touched a pop-up says 'Floating Notifications are not working anymore on your Android version'.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
It is possible to auto install if you don't mind slow download times, when you see the update click it and wait for it to finish. A md5 means it's not finished downloading. Also make sure that the "downloads" app isn't stopped by the battery manager. You can lock it to stay open and downloading. When finished click install, most of the time no issues and you can guarantee no issues by removing passwords. Before install.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
I get them consistently on the weekly build. Check your downloads program permissions and battery savings. If you are experiencing an issue it likely permissions based.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lycanwrath:
Sorry, by auto install I meant auto install of magisk.zip file after the firmware is updated
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Here are my settings
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
No it was working and was persistent. But not on the past couple of installs.

I use MK File Manager from playstore and it allows you to copy files from a zip without unpacking it, it's a little out of date but still very good. With MK FileManager you can just grab the boot image and place it in downloads as I mentioned on the link above.

The update installation and Magisk reinstallation will only take a few minutes.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] najabi:
Thanks. However, option is still disabled like this:

I'm on latest weekly 9.12.19. On settings>notifications they are enabled and highest priority in WhatsApp individually as per group and contacts.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Sorry brother, I am not much help with WhatsApp. Although it is extremely popular throughout the world it is practically unknown in the US, so I don't use it.

Do you flash dfe before or after magisk? Or even better, is dfe the last thing you should flash? Even after gapps?

Thanks.

[MENTION=7672955]tsongming[/MENTION] Hi again, seems my issue with phone calls sounding muffled/buzzing to the recipient has returned. And redoing what I did last time didn't fix it this time. I'm at a lost as to why this is happening even after multiple clean flashes and fastboot using XiaoMiFlash.

Started a week ago while I was still on MIUI 11.1 9.11.28. I use Magisk with only two modules (auto brightness fix and systemless host), which wasn't causing any issue as calls were clear while using them. I tried using ainur narsil audio mod to see if that may fix the issue, but it did not.

My only options is to turn on loud speaker and then off as a temp fix or downgrade to MIUI 10 (prefer to stay on MIUI 11 as playing games run a lot better). I must be the only one or part of an minority with this problem as not many (google searches) talks about it for Mi 8 (or not searching with the right words). I went ahead and flashed persist.img and that didn't do anything, but it did fix my slow data (or the latest beta fixed it) that I was having, been thinking it was from t-mobile's end.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
I have two Sims ATT and T-Mobile, I am not have speed issues with either. Although, I do have a consistently stronger signal with ATT.

Have you tried taking the Sim card out and put it back in again, and rebooting?

Have you tried using alternate Apns?

I would suggest never ever flashing persist unless you have no signal at all. One single time I had an issue with the party on the other line not hearing me, I rebooted the phone and haven't had the issue repeat.

Why use an auto brightness patch those patches are seriously out of date and could contribute to your issues. If you have a chance problem with auto brightness just turn it off in settings, and changed sleep to a longer period.

You could keep auto brightness on but have be consistently brighter by using Velis Auto brightness

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness.

At the end it the day, Xiaomi. EU is a beta rom. However, it's code is 2 months newer than stable. Some people who had issues, a month ago were able to sort them out by backing up everything, formatting storage, flashing stable, format storage again and flash Xiaomi.EU.

The only Magisk mods that I use are energised protection and See sytemless host.

I would not suggest using alternate kernels. Also do not flash DFE or vendor patches they are not needed.

Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sld_Ultra:
I've tried switching sim card slots and using alternate Apns (epc.tmobile.com and fast.t-mobile.com), that didn't solve the issue but things seem okay now with my t-mobile data.

As for the auto brightness patch, I use arddy1 's auto brightness fix for Mi 9 V5b. I use it because MIUI always (no matter what) just kick my brightness to the lowest level and never go to the point that I have set after detecting light (it increases the brightness as it should, but moving into darker areas it'll go down to 0% instead of 20% as how I set it). This fixes that issue and I only have auto brightness disabled when playing games using game turbo. I'll give the app you provided a try after I figure this issue out (don't have magisk installed yet), thanks.

Xiaomi. EU's stable MIUI 11 (which is based on android 10) have the same issue which calls sounding muffled. However, MIUI 11 V11.0.6.0.PEAMIXM (which is based on android 9) calls come out clear without issues, but than I have to go back using android 9's not so smooth gameplay, when android 10 is much better (I could be wrong, but it feels better to me).

I don't use custom kernels and I already have DFE (disable forced encryption, right?) turned off in orangefox from applying DFE automatically. As for "Disable DM-Verity" option, the check always come back on and after flashing it patches boot and vendor. I wish a clean flash will just fix the problem. I don't even flash anything other then the ROM and let the phone prepare it self for first boot up, go through startup wizard, then test to see if phone calls or sounding muffled.

I'm finding out that either having Bluetooth or wired headsets connected temporally fixes the issue just like turning on loud speaker. So audio is not being routed correctly or permissions (as you mentioned before) are not being enacted when MIUI 11 is being flashed? Meaning something is persisting or not being changed/updated with the flash?

Same to you, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays. :)

Settings keeps crashing when adding fingerprint or face unlock on the 9.12.19 and 9.12.12 build. Anyone facing this issue ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Absolutely not, try removing

ALL PASSWORDS

dirty reflashing the rom, reboot then re-add passwords. The face ID, fingerprints and pattern

I did experience a couple of issues with Apps ( Ported Google Camera) freezing. But I was able to resolve those issues by uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Always use Magisk Canary and never have issues.

I don't actually know because I switch it a lot. I have found the best themes on Telegram and occasionally Mi Community.

Also try searching for 24hours, Quick settings, and dual.

Here are some screenshots of what I have installed. By the way, you can find the best Chinese themes by searching Wallpapers. Just choose key phrases that appeal to you.

Since updating to MIUI Global 11.0.6 my MI 8 has been receiving phantom calls, nothing on the screen, but just rings aloud! Anyone have any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Definitely have never had that issue. Are you sure that its not a notification? Maybe you have the sound notifier turned on and everything else enabled? Try taking out your sim card, rebooting the phone then put it back in and reboot again.

Edit: This is the Beta Rom thread, did you ask on the Global rom thread?

Still everything perfect with wzsx150 TWRP? No problem at all?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xneoon:
Hello.

Why since Android 10, I nerf to do fresh install for keep Root with magisk (same with stable, beta, canary)

If I do update, reflash magisk, I am not Root. If I do magisk uninstaller, wipe dalvik & cache, reboot and réinstalle magisk same result. I try with and without modules installed.

If I do fresh install :

Flash global from Xiaomi Flash

Flash twrp

Format data + reboot recoveryr

Flash xiaomi.eu rom + magisk canary + Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt

Reboot

All is perfect... But for one week because with update Root is lost.

So... Why ?

I try to install latest canary 20.2 build 20110 today After last update 191226 same problem...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mar.ur:
Don't flash dfe. It's not necessary. Install rom and magisk 20.1 stable. When you update install newer rom and magisk stable. That's all.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
I still haven't had any issues, at all.

The developer of WZSX150 stated that "Some bugs were fixed by modifying the source code, some functions were added and improved, and they were finally compiled"

I can attest that I have had zero issues using the Q version of TWRP. Also, I was able to confirm that this exact issue happened on multiple devices, from multiple manufacturers. Without a doubt not specific to our Mi8. Furthermore, I would post links, but the most relevant links contain ADB repair commands that are not relevant to our partition structure, as you are aware, so people who are new to using these tools don't always understand, the implications of flashing without researching first. Anyway, I absolutely recommend these versions of TWRP, for daily use.

Note that I did not develop these builds, I am merely sharing the work of the Chinese LRTeam. The original link is on a Chinese server and will be difficult for some to access. So I reuploaded the builds to Android File host for the benefit of the Xiaomi Mi8 community. This version is for Android Q

For Android 10

This version is for Android Pie

For Android 9

WZSX’s TWRP is a well-known as the Chinese version of TWRP which explains the default language being set to Chinese. However, you can switch to English within TWRP user settings it's easily. switched. You can follow the instructions on this link to change the language to English: Sorry no other languages are included.

Hi everyone! Been a lurker for a while now but I've always wanted to flash the EU rom. Seeing so many cases of edl authorization problems and bricked phones, I've decided to keep my phone stock and settle. But since I've started having problems with Google services, specifically location history and ok Google, I'm thinking it's time to dive in. I haven't been active in this community for a while now so I've a few questions:

1) how do you backup and restore? (specifically all my photos, vids, call history, contacts and sms)

2) is there a possibility of bricking my device? I'm running MIUI 11 9.12.19 china beta.

3) what are the possible problems I might encounter and what steps should I be following? I plan to flash the weekly eu rom.

Thank you and Happy New year everyone!

Hello,

I have a question regarding encryption under Q10 TWRP.

Can you confirm if encryption is done as it should be.

If yes; what TWRP version is advisable.

If No, Fstab modification confirmed working on Q10 EU rom.

I do not see people reporting too much on the subject, but I fear many doesn't care of encrypted phone.

Many thanks for your support.

Edit:

Fstab.qcom modification is still doing the job well on Q. The same way it was on Android9 with old TWRP version.

Sorry for being late to respond, I have been busy and haven't used XDA for a few days. You do not need to worry about vender files and drivers when using a Miui based rom. Many of those files are overwritten by the rom at installation.

Edit I used the TWRP that I wrote about here : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81329605&postcount=366

Personally, I like the latest Sanity Gcam the best: Everything works as expected. Including Astrophotography...excellent!

Hello, I update my mi8 like I do every week, on 24/12/2019, used it for 10hours, then my phone randomly restarted, and it don't detect SIM cards and don't turn on WIFI, and the phone restart every X minutes.

Already tried pixel experience, and other miui 9.0 Roms.

Baseband, MAC address is missing.

I still have the IMEIs.

What should I do?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
If coming from the Pixel 3 rom, need to flash a fastboot stock rom ( using fastboot) before attempting to go back to a Miui build. I would guess that the large majority of people who have experienced persist related issues had previously used the pixel rom.

You have an encryption issue, I have provided steps on this thread many many times. about what steps to take for updating and your issue was absolutely not caused by this rom.

Your issue comes from your base firmware being changed by using various custom roms, so I am guessing that your have old outdated drivers installed, along with the build you recently flashed. Weekly updates do not affect every partition, including some base drivers. So it's very likely your persist partition is encrypted.

You can fix this easily by restoring your full TWRP backup that you hopefully made and saved to your desktop. Restore the backup and then do a full clean wipe, then install your Rom.

I have already provided extensive solutions for this exact issue on the numerous persist threads: You will need to read those threads for the solution, this thread is not for persist issue discussion. However, if your recovery restore doesn't work or worse...you never made one. Then read my post here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80623541&postcount=5 I have also written numerous alternative methods on the many many persist posts.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
For astro mode, simply use night mode, and if taking a picture of the night sky, astro is automatically enabled. Atro shots take longer than usual. hold the camera very sturdy, or use a camera mount. I have taken some pretty amazing shots of stars.

For updating, I always do the steps outlined in this link: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81372749&postcount=74

By the way, the OP has been updated with the new build.

Why am I getting only like 3h SOT? Using this latest Xiaomi.eu beta update...Used to get the same with pixel experience, the only time I had like 6h30/7h SOT was with MIUI11 official ROM when I first used this phone.

Bought it 2 months ago brand new and getting poor battery life.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Awesome! That would be fantastic! No doubt, I am annoyed about it not being Q as well. But maybe we will end up getting it at some point. Especially when we if the Poco gets Q.

I would definitely use any of your updated mods. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ammaralidj:
Sorry to bother you again and again. Is there any perfectly working dual speaker mod? i installed one but that was giving echo and after installation i feel overall sound became very low from both of the speakers.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
It's no bother. I am not sure how well these mods will work with Miui 11, my sound is good. By the way, by default Xiaomi EU uses the dual speaker simulation. Its uses convolution reverb to create the stereo effect.

But there are definitely plenty of mods available.

For example [MENTION=2158849]Agimax[/MENTION] has some great mods here including Audio boost: https://xdaforums.com/mi-8/themes/mods-miui-global-beta-region-free-t3898459 He said that he plans to update these. Note: I have used the Agimax mods and the worked great!

You also have the option of using mods available from the Masik Rom ( Note I have not tried these, and they are about a year old.. Be prepared to reflash rom or use TWRP system recovery if needed. However, my guess is that they will probably work. )

Dipper Beats Mod Audio.zip

Dipper Harman Mod Audio.zip

Dipper XLoud Mod Audio.zip

Then there is the DSAM option ( Maybe the one that you tried already? )

DUAL SPEAKER AUDIO MOD FOR MI8

I have used the Agimax mod and it worked well.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ammaralidj:
Really amazed to hear that xiaomi.eu have preinstalled stereo effects. Never notice or may be in MIUI 11 they disabled them?

UPDATE:

Just installed Audio Boost mod by agimax and got bootloop :(
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Agimax:
I have tested Audio Boost mod without issues on Global Stable 10.x.x, Beta 9.1.x, and now have successfully used it on .EU Multi ROM 11 in this thread. There are no bootloops. Let's see if we can find your issue.

Pre-Requisites for the Audio Boost Mod:

- TWRP 3.3.1-1 or 3.3.1-2 on (MIUI 11 .EU) (i use unofficial)

- NO OTHER AUDIO ENHANCEMENTS or MODS

- Disabled DM-Verity by flashing 'Disable DM-Verity' zip or Magisk (only certain versions of Magisk work for root on MIUI 11 .EU)

- Be on latest firmware from Global MIUI 10.x.x

I have successfully tested this audio mod on almost every version of STOCK Global Beta and Stable, and now on STOCK MIUI 11 .EU without any issues.

Best Practice For MODS:

-Flash STOCK

-Flash DM-Verity Disabler or MAGISK (version matters)

-Boot into ROM and setup

-Reboot back into TWRP

-Flash the Audio Mod Zip

-Reboot and Enjoy

I don't even think a corrupted audio file can cause a bootloop -usually just no audio output. Please see if it works on stock first before any other modifications. I will be glad to help in any way i can. [MENTION=7672955]tsongming[/MENTION] can you please verify if it works for you on a stock copy? It works for me on a clean copy -and WOW it really boosted this MIUI 11 audio almost too loud.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ammaralidj:
Thank you so much for your detailed reply and your work for us.

I never used any audio mod. I am using latest TWRP which is mentioned in your thread. My fw is 10.3.6.0. DM Verity is unchecked in magisk. So if it is working for you than i guess something is wrong happened from me [emoji17]
