[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomasxp:
Thank you, I didn't know new Samsung devices don't support fastboot (or at least this one specifically).

On the other hand, when you said it, I tried other thing. I repacked AP image with Magisk modified boot.img and empty vbmeta.img I had from other tutorial and after flashing with Odin and factory resetting it stopped showing the boot error and booted the Android up. Long 1st boot tho, about 6 minutes. So far the device appears to work fine, will update if I manage to complete the root process.

EDIT1: The phone appears to be working with patched boot.img and vbmeta.img but Magisk can't detect that boot.img is pached. It only gives me the option to download zip (which I can't install because I don't have TWRP installed) and patch the boot.img again. Well atleast we are getting somewhere with this, I'll try to figure it out later.

EDIT2: I successfully rooted the phone. I had once again to extract the modified boot.img from the AP, modify it the second time with Magisk. Then I put it back into the AP file, deleting all other images, leaving only boot.img and META-DATA folder. Flashed it through Odin once again and this time Magisk waited 30s at launch and showed that everything is ok. Root checker is also showing that device is rooted as superuser asks for permissions.

after sending a little bit of texts and using the audio manager for a bit im left with very little program memory, sometimes as low as 4 or 5 megabytes even though on startup i had something like 20 mbs, and it just decreases with time, even turning off teh applications doesnt give me the original number back, why is this so? and how can i reduce this loss?

im using mrh 8.3 sun shower

the ROM u using probably has a bloated windows folder. just a different lite ROM
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] softonic123:
try to open the program "close Apps" or "oxiox close apps" in this rom... this will give you the lost megas back and you'll be happy again, I have this rom, too ;-)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lord_BlackAdder:
Windows Mobile by default doesn't quit the application even when you hit the "x" button. It minimizes the application so that the next time you launch the same application, it starts straight away.

You can install HTC-X button cab that would quit the application instead.

There are plenty of ROMs out there with HTC-X cooked. Currently I am running PDAVIET ROM and the free program memory is around 25 MB RAM.

[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] jirka607:
Hi just bought this device and I would like to ask few questions..

Is there a way to force activate VoLTE

If I register for the oppo account does it matter which region I choose if I want to use themes?

Also I suppose I have global version is there any way I can use theme store or download Themes?

Thanks
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] koloure2211:
Sorry no, about themes you need the Chinese version for that.

And I might add it's nothing to write home about.

I have both, and the global works on volte when I cannot get a signal but have WiFi?

My Vodafone one supports hd voice and WiFi calling.

VoLTE is similar to HD Voice.

Hi,

I never worked on custom stuffs with samsung devices before. I was on devices where flashing was easy and simple but here when there are so many variant and flashing so much stuff before you can flash a custom rom.

An tutorial post will be really appreciated that can help everyone (maybe from rooting to flashing).

I wanted to go AOSP but couldn't really found a clear instructions anywhere.

Not even on YouTube.

Thanks.

Just received official Global miui 12 update. Did you guys too?

Tip: I did factory reset after miui 12 update & most of my bugs got fixed, make sure to make backup first if guys are doing that
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Edgaras111:
I still didnt received miui 12 on my note 8 pro.. Im from Europe maybe it takes longer :D
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Have you installed it yet? Does it lag?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Nouman112:
I had checked received early updates option under update settings, just for the info:
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
I got my device 2 months ago and it is very snappy. I have no interest in having it become irreversibly laggy because of a major update.

I would love to hear if anybody had applied the update yet and if it slows the phone down.

If it does I will not update-- I'd rather have a snappy phone than one with the latest bells and whistles but sluggish!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Nouman112:
Yep using it & yes it lags sometimes
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Edgaras111:
Enabled that option still no update. Cant wait
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Nouman112:
Then you might have to wait for the comments of few more people & yes i have noticed little bit lag, & also my chrome is lagging for some reason & i am not sure it's because of my 4g internet or my browser, just received update two hours ago

Thanks, I will wait!

I've had this happen to me with previous phones. It's hard to resist the impulse to update, but sometimes it's really a big mistake.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Sk0rpi0n89:
Im from Europe, but i install global version over twrp, for me, everything works just fine, without lag for now, and one big plus, camera is way way beter now.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
I'm also of course curious if some of the issues with the previous version (BT/Wifi interference, etc) are resolved
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] beachfl:
Are you saying you installed the downloaded zip file over TWRP? Or did you take the OTA file? I'm wondering because I have TWRP and Magisk installed. I've been notified for the OTA update, but I've also already downloaded the stock ROM.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Sk0rpi0n89:
Yes, but first i rollback to a9 version, install twrp recovery and install ota file and thats all.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pujolsk:
Don't update. It looks nice, have some cool features, camera is better, but it feels like it is not the same phone anymore. It lags, some animations are perfect, but many are not. Icons animation is ugly for me, text size is also not OK for me, some is bold and some is not...

The best firmware was Android 9, all after that is worse and worse.

Btw I did factory reset after I updated, like I always do after major update...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Thanks!!

So glad I checked with you guys!

I noticed the slight slowdown also between A9 and a10 within MIUI 11 itself.

Still fast, but an ever so slight lag that wasn't there before.

I assume there is no way to revert to MIUI 11 without unlocking the device....

I'll pass!

---------- Post added at 04:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 AM ----------

This whole episode makes a good argument for unlocking and rooting. Even though I have avoided doing that since I had my Nexus phone, it would seem that this is the only way to prevent your phone from becoming obsolete.

The RN8P is not an old phone and its such a shame that Xiaomi would release an update that would degrade the performance so much...and not give regular users the option of reverting....but then again, I have seen this happen on my previous phones too.

My previous phone was an LG G6, a flagship from a few years ago. When new it came installed with A6, and by the last update was A9, which literally made the device unusable.

Manufacturers are in a dilemma, because on one hand power users demand updates for the latest versions, yet inevitably these newer updated versions use more resources and aren't optimized as well for a legacy device.

At the very least the manufacturers should provide an easy method of downgrading.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pujolsk:
I really do not know why Xiaomi doesn't offer official method to rollback as Huawei does via PC Suite.

I am about to unlock my bootloader, but I am not sure what to do next, as all of these tutorials are so confusing.

I think I have to root then, and no idea what comes next...

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Yes it is confusing, Xiaomi does not make it easy to root, I suggest you submit your questions for guidance on unlocking in one of the dedicated threads

Why do I have the option to update my device to miui v11.0.5 while my

current miui version is 11.0.6

Help me pleasee :crying:
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] beachfl:
I'm guessing that it's your Android update, updating from Android Pie 11.0.6 (PGGMIXM) to Android Q/10 11.0.5 (QGGMIXM). If it is, after that you'll get your MIUI update to 12.0.x.x, with the same Android version label (QGGMIXM).

Annoying bug: after update to miui 12 dark mode produce low brightness screenshots. Fix switch to light mode take screenshots and go back to dark mode.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
From the review videos there are lots of visual bells and whistles in MIUI 12, but what stuff is really useful? Floating windows are cool, but how much do you really use them on a phone screen? Is the notification shade/short cut pull down really more functional than before? Does dark mode really help with battery life?

What do you guys think?

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Edgaras111:
Hopefuly this week we are gonna receive update
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pujolsk:
Dark mode is different, Control center is cool but not a game changer (bad copy of iOS if you ask me), camera has some cool features/different settings, sunlight mode is great, floating windows is cool but I don't use it. Animations and rendering is not OK, too much stuttering and glitches simetimes. I can't speak about battery yet. Chrome acts so strange sometimes.

I just hope this is still considered as a beta, and we will receive some patches soon...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] particlemaniac:
On my phone, Miui 12 run great! The best release so far. Animation runs very smooth, great battery life, no problem so far.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
That's good to hear. it seems there are mixed reviews

Often with "version creep" the newer interfaces assume newer/faster hardware, like the newer Snapdragon processors.

it would be a shame if the RN8P would become laggy because of MIUI 12
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] anguslaw:
Where can i find the sunlight mode?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Also, we have not even touched on the subject of battery life, with all those additional animations...

Anybody with impressions yet?

A google search on the this topic (not specifically for this phone) reveals reports of decreased battery life.

I have exactly the same issue too, and it's a bit confusing. I am currently on android Pie MIUI PGGMIXM 11.0.6 . My system update shows Download available is MIUI V11.0.5 QGGMIXM instead of the expected MIUI 12. Does anyone know why this is so?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
The recent OTA of MIUI 12 is in fact a beta release and was sent to a random small group.

It appeared available on my phone for a day and then disappeared.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] beachfl:
See my above reply to the exact same question. Very likely, you need the underlying Android Q to be in place before the (smaller) OTA update to MIUI 12 can be installed.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kdnmobile:
But, do you think it's worth upgrading first to android 10 MIUI 11 instead of directly upgrading to android 10 MIUI 12? I have root and TWRP, can I still use OTA?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] beachfl:
I'm not aware of anyone who's reported an OTA update that takes them from Global Pie/MIUI 11 directly to Q/MIUI12. It seems to be the two updates.

So if you want MIUI 12, I think you either have to do the two separate OTA updates, or you could download and install the entire image.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] anguslaw:
no, it's not beta, I didn't root my phone and still I can download the miui 12 rom and install manually.

working good .
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Thank you for the correction, it is a limited release, as quoted:

According to a member from the Mi Device Team, the MIUI 12 update for the Global Redmi Note 8 Pro has rolled out to limited users. The wider rollout will begin once it’s clear that the build does not have any major bugs. The same comment has been shared a few times (1, 2, 3) with multiple users.

Here’s the entire comment from the Mi Device Team member:

For Redmi Note 8 Pro Global, the update has rolled out to limited users, will be roll out to all users once devs determine it is ok to release all users based on user’s feedback.

For other roms of Redmi Note 8 Pro, there isn’t exact date when it will be rolled out but since there was tester recruitment for them, it is expected to be release once the test is finished successfully by pre-selected testers.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

What is your impression of battery life?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] anguslaw:
Not much different from miui 11. I experience no lag at all. Just do a reboot after the install of miui 12. Everything is fine.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kdnmobile:
Can I do OTA update manually while still rooted? If I move from android 9 to android 10, will I have to unlock bootloader again (168 hours) in order to root? If I have the entire image, I can use fastboot method I guess?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] beachfl:
Yes, but you will lose root when you update, and have to re-root.

No. Your bootloader is unlocked until you re-lock it yourself. The waiting period is a one-time deal anyway.

The only full system image I have seen is for Recovery installation, so you could do that. I have not seen a Fastboot full system image yet. I'm sure it won't be long.

Press several times in miui 11 logo, then addition options will appear in the menu.

Then click the menu and you can click choose update package to find the package that you have downloaded and flash.

But you have to make sure the ROM you downloaded is a real stable version, not beta stable. They are in the same version number.

How about somebody post a brief review of this release?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Sk0rpi0n89:
This?

I can write a short review on my behalf. I have an EU version of a mobile phone, ie an EU rom. Of course, there is no miui12 for the EU yet, but I'm impatient, so I installed it in another way, more precisely via twrp. I went back to EU A9, installed twrp recovery and installed the global version of miui12 (the rom version is below in the picture)

I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, and in those two weeks I haven't had any problems when it comes to calls, gps or the internet, both volts and regular 4G. I don't use NFC, but it works properly, my Bluetooth connects properly every time I get in the car and even on external headphones, even a computer. In my opinion, the camera is far better than the miui 11, in the gcam range I could say, in some conditions even better, with the proviso that there is no need for any config for lighting.

My fluidity is without any strong jerks or that my cell phone has slowed down in any way, and I use it every day, in several ways, because it also replaces my computer while I'm not at home.

The most urgent of all to me is the battery, and I trust you too. So far I haven't monitored the consumption too much, but if I don't use gmaps, 2 days of medium use. With gps, maps, calls, texting and watching videos, I get around 8-9h SOT per day.

No maps, 10-11.5 SOT. I don't know what else I would write, except that I can try to give an answer to every question, so here, ask. :)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] anguslaw:
I've upgrade from the method i posted before . My phone ia not root.

It's been around 2 weeks also. The user experience is perfect.

1. The new control center is cool, it is convenience to adjust the brightness with single hand.

2. The new gestures are useful too. You could easily toggle around different recent apps.

3. There are new slow motion options in video recording.

4. You could force dark mode in other apps.

Those are the features that impressed me so far.

Xiaomi has a strange update policy..

For the second time I was offered to update to this package OTA. I downloaded the package OTA but didn't update right away by rebooting. when I then try to update by selecting the package from the updater, it doesn't allow it! I get a notice that "updating from an unofficial package is not allowed" LOL.

Oh, and "check for updates" shows no updates available.

What's up with that? Kind of messed up.

I guess I'll wait to get the offer again, because I have no desire to unlock bootloader and all that stuff.
