Maybe you are right. Can you provide the link for the battery that you bought, how long have you had it, and are you getting exactly the same battery life as you did with the original battery. I would like to order a battery ASAP.

I usually rely on the reveiws and at least I know that Amazon reviews are legitimate and that they will reimburse you if a vendors lies. However that Battery just looks cheap.

On the other hand, I was considering buying from this company who claims to sell the exact battery that Xiaomi uses in the Mi8 (made by Fujian Electronics and specifically for the Mi8) https://www.witrigs.com/oem-battery-replacement-for-xiaomi-mi-8

Awesome, the one that I found with a quick Google search had zero reviews. This one, your link has a lot of positive reviews, so I will give this one a try. thanks!

I think this battery is little bit better than the original.

Is there a way to install bigger capacity battery??

[emoji1191]
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
No, you can buy a bigger battery but it will only use and recognize 3300 mah. We are better off using a battery built to the factory specifications below.

Charging Voltage Limit: 4.40VDC

Rated Capacity: 3300mAh 12.7/13.0Wh (min/typ) 3300/3400mAh (min/typ)

Rated Voltage: 3.85VDC

I can't find the posts at the moment, but people have bought larger batteries and they made comments on XDA that only 3300 was recognised. Plus, they said that the battery life was not as good as the smaller battery...weird.

New: Xiaomi.EU Stable build has not yet been announced, but it is posted and ready to checkout!

FYI: The Xiaomi.EU Stable releases are similar to the weekly builds, but incorporates only the bug-free aspects of the latest developments, and it is based on the recently released China 11.0.7.0 Stable release.

Update : April 10, 2020

Xiaomi.EU Stable Release Miui MI8 Version 11.0.7.0-

Stable Build Download: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8_V11.0.7.0.QEACNXM_v11-10

SourceForge Link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...lti_MI8_V11.0.7.0.QEACNXM_v11-10.zip/download

No mentions of update have been made by Xiaomi.EU and they have not yet posted a changelog.

In my experience these stable updates are fantastic.

can it be installed from the system updater? as a normal EU installation?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
No, it's a stable ROM.

I have not installed it yet because I haven't had time. But usually it needs a fully clean instaltion.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
We have 3 mi8's in our house and I installed the Stable rom via the Mi-Globe Rom, on one of my Mi8's yesterday.

The Mi-Globe version of Stable 11.07 does not have the notification icon issue, and it's getting a whooping 9 hours of SOT without missing any notifications or alarms and definitely no battery heat issues. This is the same phone that I thought needed a new battery!

It can be downloaded here: https://mi-globe.com/miui-firmware-rom-builder-features/14/

With Mi-Globe Rom's you build your rom by selecting which version of Miui you want and then your preferred options. It's basically Xiaomi.EU but with few more features and an apparent a different kernel.

Be careful to choose the best options for you... such as your continent, Miui version and which features you want built into your rom. Do not pre install Magisk or you may end up with a bootloop.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] guitarbite:
So do you recommend the 11.07 in terms of speed and usability or?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
I do not play games so I am not making any type of gaming recommendation. With that being said the OS is just as fast as it usually is, and I haven't noticed any type of throttling and absolutely zero heat when doing anything, even if the battery is low and charging the battery stays between 84F and 92F.

The main thing that I like is the battery life : https://imgur.com/zfBFd8k

My phone is now getting the same type o battery life that I had when it was new, I haven't missed any notifications, and I was able to restore my local backup with zero issues. To be clear, I definitely setup correct permissions on every app that I want notifications from.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ammaralidj:
Wophing 9hrs SOT is awesome.

Did you tweak kernel setting or its just with default kernel setting?

Also mi-globe rom is March edition, but xiaomi.eu is releasing weekly basis

[emoji1191]
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
In these last few post on this thread, I have only been talking about the Stable version of 11.0.7 by XiaomiEU ( Which is forked by Mi-Globe) I am not at all talking about the weekly builds, plus, that has stopped for now, and the last version 20.3.26 had a few bugs and the battery life was definitely not as good as usual.

Officially, Xiaomi.EU never released the 11.0.7 Rom. Well they did not publicly announce it. and I have no idea why. But I downloaded it as soon as it was posted to Android File host.

Stable Xiaomi.EU version : xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8_V11.0.7.0.QEACNXM_v11-10

With Mi Globe, you need to manually select your build by choosing which options you want and by choosing which build you want it based on: The link will take to to 3.26, change it to 11.0.7 : Take a look at the attached screenshots to see where to select the stable build.

Hey so tried as recommended and i see the screen on time stats don't reset... I'm going about the same as miui.eu
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdominazer:
Latest xiaomi.eu stable lags from Time to time, enough often to irritate the hell out of me.

Back to global stable for me. The smoothest rom att this time.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
I have been using and have been recommending the Mi-Globe version of the rom and have not had a single issue with anything.

I have used the 11.0.3 stable and I agree that it is equally smooth, but it's also missing a lot of the newer 11.7 features. Additionally, I suspect that a new global stable will be released soon, that is unless they go ahead and release Miui 12, which is rumored to launch on April 27.

To go on further about the Mi-Globe version, I uninstalled a couple of apps that I no longer use and I am now getting almost 10 hours SOT, and I haven't witnessed a single lag. But to be fair, I dont play games.

In other news:

The Mi-Room version of the 11.0.7 build has now been released and it can be downloaded by clicking this link

mi-Room has some unique features, one impressive thing about Mi-Room is that it has additional battery saving functions, and relies on the default Android 10 battery savings manager instead of the the altered Miui Security manager version. It also has has built in System as Root, and yet still passes safetynet : https://portal.mi-room.ru/spisok-izmenenij-miui-mirum-v11-20-3-26/

To be clear, I have rooted Mi-Globe, using the patchboot method and I am also passing Safety net CTS without issues.

One last thing that I failed to mention. By default the 11.07 build is set to a balanced power mode. Using any miui secret settings app you can change it to performance, and of course you can change the profile within a kernel manager. So if experiencing lag, while playing a game, simply change to performance or gaming mode. Also, I always change the animations to 0.5, I have been doing this for years out of habit. I like the animations better when set to a faster speed, or just turned off.

Just installed mi globe as per your recommendation. Any idea if there is a way enable encryption on this rom, I have been trying to figure out a way of doing it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
It's hidden under privacyand permissions

The easiest way to get there is to: Go to settings/search/ then start typing " ENcr then look at the results >

click encrypt phone> Go to bottom right corner and click encrypt phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abmoh13:
When I press encrypt it asks for my pin then it just takes me back to my settings screen. I am not sure if this is supposed to happen or if the encryption function is broken on this rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mar.ur:
The same is on Xiaomi.eu both stable and dev.

You must do it in another way.

https://xdaforums.com/mi-8/help/xiaomi-eu-rom-encrytion-t3846726/post77721399#post77721399

Probably you will have to do that after each update.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] abmoh13:
yeah i tried following that thread, but it didnt work. I may have used wrong command i tried using:

set /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom "encryptable=ice" "fileencryption=ice"

unfortunately did not work
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
You may just want to leave it as is then. Because, there was an encryption bug, that is possibly not sorted yet and it definitely affected quite a few people including myself.

The issue: the phone would randomly lose your encryption keys to where the only solution was to restore from fastboot.

If you need encryption, A new Stable Rom update just came out, if you are interested: It probably will not have the same long battery life as the 11.0.7 build and it will have the usual stable bloat and will be missing some options.

I had done it once and I was successful. Copy fstab to download folder. Then copy to PC and change "encryptable=ice" to "fileencryption=ice" and replace it. You have to do format data by "yes" after that.

But in my opinion it has no sense. Better do what [MENTION=7672955]tsongming[/MENTION] mentioned.

However, he did a great job with all of the included information. Here is the link to his thread

Personally, I am hesitant to try it because my new battery hasn't arrived yet and I am averaging 10 hours SOT and experiencing no issues with the 11.0.7 build. So I may wait for the Xiaomi.EU version on Friday.

Anyone that is currently using Miui 11 who wants to try using the new Miui 12 should make a Miui local backup and a full Orange Fox / or TWRP backup up of your data and store it on your PC before beginning the installation process. I use OrangeFox.

As long as your firmware is up to date you dont necessarily need to flash the stock rom. For the record, The Xiaomi.EU rom does not affect firmware because it's a recovery only rom. it you are experiencing any issues, you should flash a fastboot rom or flash just the firmware by itself [MENTION=6084385]yshalsager[/MENTION] keeps a database of the latest roms and of extracted firmware on his website.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikosshi:
thank you. ill try to format and flash dm verity.

it got me thinking. as you said the latest xiaomi.eu has issues and as we know mi global is based on xiaomi.eu. is it fixed on the latest mi global rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
The Mi Globe 11.0.7 roms is one of the best roms that I have ever used. I did not personally try the Xiaomi.EU version, they are indeed the same rom. Apparently according to people on the thread with Mi8's the Xiaomi.EU version of 11.0.7 has an issue with status bar notifications, the miGlobe doesn't have that issue. Also, I use the Root Essential app to change the DPI to the standard 402 which I like better.

For the record the Miui 12 rom has equally good battery life as the 11.0.7 once everything is installed and setup completely, it is an amazing build. but has unwanted Chinese bloat. I would expect the upcoming Xiaomi.EU based on miui 12 will be flat out amazing, and likely the best rom yet. I am now getting 12 hours SOT according to GSAM battery manager and I am using custom themes that I found on telegram...sooo good!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mar.ur:
You are right. I tried install mi-globe over LOS 17.1 and was ok. I am confused, sometime ago I tried install dev mi-globe over aosp and got an error that xiaomi.eu system requied. BTW you needn't flash dfe because xiaomi.eu and mi-globe are decrypted.

https://t.me/MIUIThemesOfficial This one has a couple of the newer themes

https://t.me/MIUITemas Check out the LineUI themes ( Currently only for Miui 11 but still nice and you can use the multi optioned lockscreen)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsongming:
I would recommend that you stay with Miui 11 until the Xiaomi.EU comes out and we ensure that it is stable. We already know that it will have some bugs on the first release, per the developers.

The best battery life came from the MiGlobe Stable 11.0.7 build, I made a post about it on this thread a page back.

If you battery life is not as good as you want, lower the profile settings so that the cores, are underclocked, you do this by using a kernel manager . I recommend EX Kernel Manager or Franco kernel manager. Both are outstanding, Franco is a bit more of a learning curve. Tell me which kernel manager you use and I will give you some steps for editing the profiles, be sure to use stock kernel.

You can do a lot of different things and a custom settings thread will be a better place to discuss optimizing our setups. In the future, I will probably make a thread that will get into specifics, and I would suspect that it will be a very lengthy thread so if someone else beats me to it, that would be tremendous and fantastic!

Here is an article by Franco that describes the features of Franco kernel manager : https://medium.com/@franciscofranco/faq-for-fk-kernel-manager-android-app-f5e7da0aad18

As a general rule, simply underclock your kernel speed by 25%

This alone increase your battery life by a couple of hours. Go through your system and check the permissions and settings for all apps, I only have only given permissions for the apps that I am okay with running in the background the ability to AutoStart and I use the Miui built-in manager to turn off WIFI, Bluetooth, and GPS when I am not using the phone. You can also set the phone to shut down while you are sleeping.

The best results come from trial and error and I don't have time nor do I want to write a book today. So, here is a summary for how to easily underclock cores, but without directing limiting the cores. You are essentially making a small edit to the schedutility governor.

If using EX Kernel manager.

Schedule utility: go to CPU/ governor profiles

Take note of Cluster values for Clusters 1 and 2: or just make a backup of stock settings giving it a name that will be easily recognizable.

Cluster 1: Click Hi-Speed Frequency - and change setting to 1228

Cluster 2: Click Hi-Speed Frequency - and change setting to 1536

Save Profile - This is a medium ( balanced setting) You will notice no speed loss or lagging with this small adjustment.

Select Apply on boot.

If using Franco Kernel manager

Make a Backup of the default settings: in Settings Backup & Restore

Next, Go to CPU/ little Cluster/ governor parameters/

Little Cluster: Click Hi-Speed Frequency - and change setting to 1228

Big Cluster: Click Hi-Speed Frequency - and change setting to 1536

Click to load at boot.

Save Profile - This is a medium ( balanced setting) You will notice no speed loss or lagging with this adjustment. If wanted, you can slightly undercut your GPU as well. I don't because with Miui there is no need.

Again, this a super basic change, but you can get much, much more in-depth with more advanced tweaking, which I am not going to write about today.

The simple changes that I listed will make a big difference. In addition to this, you should know that the display uses more battery than anything else. So make sure that auto-brightness is turned on, it will provide better much battery life. Finally, I stick to dark themes and only use white themes if I am outside. Dark themes definitely save battery on phones with AMOLED screens and they are better to help avoid burn-in.

I hope this helps.
