For those that want a cleaner ROM, I recommend you use a terminal and disable these apps and services. You can enable them back in your settings app manager at anytime since we are not uninstalling them. I replaced messages, music, browser, health, weather, pay and mail with Google equivalents. I don't use Xiaomi cloud or backup, cleaner, updater, assistant board or pull down bar manager either. No issues. This will survive reflashes/updates.

Terminal command to disable:

Hello guys is there anyone else having problem with whatsapp contacts on MIUI 12(Xiaomi EU 20.4.30)?

It shows me phone number of my contact sometimes and I should refresh contact list in whatsapp to see their names

PS : I have allowed permissions and auto sync is turned on
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Sorry, I don't use whatsapp, But try removing it and then allowing the security manager to clean the leftover file remnants. Then reinstall whillowing each permission.. Better yet, enable whatever permissions manually. This usually works for me whenever I have app issues after fully wiping my phone and then restoring all of my apps and files from Google and MiCloud.

Here is how I solved an unrelated issue will phone calls)

I had an issue with phone calls not working. Data worked without any issues but regardless of what I did, I could not make a phone call.

Finally was able to get it working by dirty flashing the 11.0.4 firmware drivers package from [MENTION=6084385]yshalsager[/MENTION]'

websiteand then after deleting /re-entering my APN's I selected LTE/WCDMA and now per Network Signal Guru LTE, 4G and 3G are all working

Hi, I had such problem on miui pro roms, fixed by formatting data including internal storage.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
I haven't tried it, but it will likely work. If there is an issue just dirty flash the ROM.

Or better yet make a system back up in recovery and if you have problem restore the system.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raminta:
Hello again guys

I found a fix for WhatsApp problem (contact sync) on MIUI 12 EU rom

1.Backup your chat history

2.Clear app data

3.Then when you go to app again make sure you tap "once" for contact permission (instead "only while using app")

You will see that WhatsApp will never lose permission again

Problem occurred because of that if you tap "only while using app" for permission the app will lose permission and contacts won't sync in background

Almost everything it's working fine for me in MIUI 12. I don't receive email notification unless I open gmail app and battery life is not as good as MIUI 11. Another thing that I don't like is that swiping at the bottom to change between apps just works with the default launcher.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Agimax:
You have to set permissions, allow startup on boot, and change battery optimizations to none for Gmail.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Agimax:
Thank you as always tsongming for your always helpful posts for all users you are a great asset to the community. That said, no disrespect in this post.

I just want to help keep information accurate, it appears EU ROMs have started including firmware updates in the recovery zip files (in the firmware folder) - at least for MIUI 12. I don't doubt it was required to have the new 12 completely functional.

Also, I fully agree with tsongming in that users having any major ROM issues with partitions or drivers should flash the boot loader images (without locking the bootloader back) as they contain complete partitions including the persist img. This will fix 99.9% of any issues you are having, especially with junk and corruption in partitions.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
I am not experiencing any issues like that but I did have an issue with phones that was resolved by reflashing firmware...apparently the modem only was needed.

My guess is that your issue may be causing the problems that you are experiencing and there is a quick solution, you can update your firmware drivers by dirty flashing them in recovery, or worst case reflash the stock 11.0.4 rom

Thanks to [MENTION=2158849]Agimax[/MENTION] for letting me know that the persist along with the usual firmware was included in the recent build.

FYI: Miui Recovery roms, do not include the complete set of firmware drivers, the complete firmware package is only found on fastboot roms. This has changed

Thanks to [MENTION=6084385]yshalsager[/MENTION] you can easily download just the firmware from his website I have a global device so I am using the 11.0.4 stable firmware. Also, I recommend changing your animations speed to 0.5

Edit fixed typo concerning kernel.

Check your permissions, and battery settings and avoid using a third party kernel for now.

You could try flashing the firmware, or better yet the 11.0.4 fastboot rom and your issue will hopefully be solved.

After examining the firmware differences between 11.0.4 and the recent Miui 12 Xiaomi.EU rom the Xiaomi.eu appears to indeed use a different modem than what is in the stable rom. See attached image.

So it my issue was indeed possibly resolved my flashing the stable modem.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Just now seeing your post and as usual you are correct., Plus they mention it here : https://miuipolska.pl/d/xiaomi.eu/updater/changelog-pl/20.4.30.html ( I had to use translate) Thanks for the correction, its seems that it now backs up the persist partition as well, and that is good news!

It's weird because I had trouble with phone calls after installing the last build and I reflashed firmware and was able to resolve it. It seems that i just thought it was the firmware and that the actual issue came from my carrier, confirmed by a text.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikosshi:
help
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Sorry I never saw your post

First you need to extract the boot image from the Rom zip file.

If you have a PC this is very easy.

Right click on the rom and choose open. You will immediately see the boot image.

Copy it into the download the directory of your rom.

Now on the phone, Install magisk manager, and give if permissions within miui. ( It's in the miGlobe apps folder ...if using mi Globe otherwise download it.)

Open Magisk manager and choose install and choose "select and patch file"

File Manager will open, in right top corner choose show internal drive.

Choose menu on top left and go to the downloads folder and select the boot.image

Magisk manager will now patch the boot image with root binaries and the system signature.

Boot to recovery and flash the "patched boot image to "boot"

Restart to system, you are rooted.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CROrION:
So is miui12 worth it on this early builds, or should we wait for now?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
It's great but it has a few bugs. :

My notifications are only showing on the lock screen and occasionally showing under quick settings, just occasionally. Such as right after I switch themes. Edit , notifications are selected by swiping down on the top left side.

The screen seems a little brighter with more clarity and the new animations are really nice., especially when set to 0.5 .

Next, battery life was a lot better on the Miui 12 China beta version, but it lacked a lot of Google features. The battery life using 11.0.7 Xiaomi.EU Stable build was also a lot better. But to be fair, I haven't finished optimizing everything yet and overall, I like Miui 12 enough to want to keep it, even though I am getting less battery.

SOT (for me so far) averages at 6 hours and 38 minutes according to Accubattery. No doubt, I could save even more battery by following the guide that Agimax posted a page back, and if you don't like Miui apps. I will definitely get rid of a few things such as : messages, contacts/phone, calendar, music, gallery and health features.

Everything seems to work fine; I did have a problem receiving calls at first, but I believe the issue was due to a problem with my carrier service. At this point I find that the system is balanced and fluid, and I haven't experienced any heat issues.

I really want to switch to AOSP roms because of their customization options but due to some MIUI features are really awesome and not available on awesome. So everytime i flashed AOSP roms, i ended up flashing miui again due to these camera / gallery features.

[emoji3590] from [emoji1191]
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Yeah, I agree the AOSP ROMs are great. However, Miui is consistently stable, has wider theming options..for free and is generally safer, due to having full access to the source and not relying on hacks from other devices.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ammaralidj:
Yes but i really miss customization options and stock android feel.

Today i installed RevOS Miui 11 test build which is also working fine

[emoji3590] from [emoji1191]
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
You would probably like Miui Pro slot since it incorporates a lot of AOSP features. However, to gain access to recent builds a small donation has to made, and to join and enroll is a long process that takes several days.

However, I used to use this rom slot on my old phone and it's always been fantastic.

Just wanted to share that I just experienced a system crash and now cannot access data thanks to Google. I started receiving popups wanting me to re-enter my Google account details and then all Google apps started failing. I wiped Google, Playstore, and play services cache which didn't help.

I rebooted to a bootloop and data is no longer available within TWRP.

This is a bug, and Xiaomi.EU roms have had this issue in the past. I am thinking that the crash happens when PlayServices is upgraded. This issue will probably not happen to everyone, but everyone should make a copy of the persist backup that is located in the SD Card root, so if this issue happens to you flash that signed image to persist and you will be able to regain access to your data. In the past I was able to regain access to my data by reflashing the patched boot image. Unfortunately, I did not make a backup of that image and place it on my usb drive,like I usually do.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nortuzar:
Wow thanks for the advice, its always good to be remembered about backups. I'm not expert and I made the following backup, are those files ok?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Yes that will take care of you.

But make sure that you place that backup on your desktop, or on a flash drive. Because if the data becomes encrypted so does your TWRP backup if its on the user data or " SD card."

I already had BL unlocked with TWRP installed as well. Please include how to flash Magisk too.

Check if these steps is correct.

1. Off phone

2. Put phone to recovery mode (TWRP)

3. Clear data and cache

4. Install miui 12 rom

5. Install magiak.zip

6. Clear dalvik cache

7. Reboot to system

Check above steps correct ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
[MENTION=544809]dvdfreak[/MENTION]

You must format user data ( type yes) Reboot to recovery anytime that you are leaving a stable rom to use something else.

Also, for better stability when using any Android 10 rom. do not Flash Magisk until you have booted to system and setup rom. Otherwise you will have issues, the biggest being a potential bootloop.

1. Back up any files that you want to keep

2. Boot to Recovery

3. Format User Data

4. Reboot to Recovery

5. Clear data and cache Then For

6. Install miui 12 rom

7. Setup Micloud and Google

8. Install magisk manager, placed extract boot image from rom and place it in the downloads folder.

9. Give Magisk manager permissions, setup developer options ( You should know this part)

10. Use Magisk Manager to patch system binaries and root to boot image, a filled called Patched boot image will be created in the downloads folder

11. Reboot to recovery

12 Flash Patched boot image ( dont forget to change option from zip to image)

13. Reboot to system, Verify that all is good, enjoy

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Although I turned animations down, I am certain that the kernel is different and the overall fluidity and affecting speed. Because I have found that I get much better results by patching the boot image from The 4.27 China build, with magisk manager and then flashing it to boot and using it instead.

It appears that the kernel is different. Although this is guess, I have not yet unpacked the boot image to find out if the Fstab is different. However, this guess seems to be confirmed by better performance and a longer battery life. Next I plan to test tweaking it further by patching the 11.0.7 boot image because I was getting crazy good battery life on that build.

[MENTION=1074825]ammaralidj[/MENTION]

I wanted to make an edit and let you know how changing the boots/kernels worked out.

11.0.7 does not work at all, it's completely incompatible.

On the other hand the original boot.image from the 4.7 China build works beautifully, along with flashing the firmware from 11.0.4. I immediately noticed a faster load time and my phone and VoWifi connected immediately. I would suspect that the battery will also be better but I will need to wait and see. My gut feeling is that it will be alot better because using Gsam battery manager the live idle drain percentage is half of what it was on the original boot
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
Respectfully, you have been making posts for days about these issues and it has nothing to do with this rom.

Did you try the steps that I suggested yesterday: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82518685&postcount=8

You must follow those steps and format user data again.

To be clear, the issue is related to Fstab, a couple of day's ago another guy asked for you what version of recovery you were using and you replied was that you didn't think that recovery had had anything to do with it. However. recovery can absolutely be part of the problem, because alternate recoveries uses their very own separate kernel.

To avoid those issues use the version of recovery that not only correctly checks the build dates of the rom versus recovery but also have the ability to backup and restore important partitions such as persist, and DTBO . As mentioned on the OP, I suggest that you use the latest April build of Orange Fox or the Q version of LR Team by wzsx150. Be sure to follow the steps in the link above, change the format type at least once a month, and I rarely ever have those issues anymore.
