[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jackw0lfen:
Hello there, I was wondering what could cause such a dramatic battery drainage. Under dramatic battery drain I meant having SoT around 3-4 hours of screen if not even less (percentage is going down on my eyes). Accubattery showed that my battery is around circa 60-70% (did a month ago) if I'm not mistaking. And I had such a problem on every build of PE. Does anyone have such issue? And did the replacement of the battery worked or this OS is just eating too much power anyway? Appreciate everyone's reply.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] moviefirst:
In playstore don't update carrier services and speech services by Google. I think these apps are causing the huge battery drain. I haven't updated these apps since previous build, and do not have any battery drain anymore. So I do not think it's a battery issue.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] najabi:
I'm using latest PE12+ and it runs very well, great battery time, for a 4 year old battery, quite happy.

I'd like others to tell their experiences with PE13 beta, if everything runs well: GPS, NFS, gcam. For the moment I'm watching 😌 it looks promising. Regarding your battery drain, try MIUI and see if it runs like PE, to discard the cause.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xandreasx:
Sorry but if your battery is at 60% this is the problem 😅. After 3 years i changed my battery and now i doubled the battery life. I'm very happy with PE12+ for the battery life.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
Android 13 build has exceptional battery management. Just replace your old battery.

I've got 2 Mi 8 and test them.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MTG03:
Same for me. I solved the problem downloading from "uptodown" or "aptoide".
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foufos:
Question : I installed Pixel Experience Beta but somehow i can't go back on another custom android 12 rom! It stucks on logo "forever" despite i changed recovery to TWRP! Does Android 13 has restructed the partitions and can't go back on android 12 roms maybe? Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
flash latest global fastboot rom then proceed to A12 ROMs
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
Just clean playstore storage and it will show up again!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
Standby battery management on A13 on Mi 8 is FANTASTIC.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foufos:
Any rom i'm trying to flash (from latest global Miui to any custom rom) is being stuck on logo...I can only install the latest beta android 13 rom, any other rom downgrade is stucking on logo!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
Fastboot flashing of global rom goes well without errors ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foufos:
Yep, no errors during flashing but after the rebout it stucks on logo screen!

Actually almost any rom i tried to install throught TWRP, from global (which is still on android 10) to any custom android 12 rom just stucks after rebout on logo screen! Something has changed i think on partitions after the pixel beta and android 13 and it seems i can't go back to any rom!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xandreasx:
But, have you installed the PixelExperience Recovery? You don't have to use the TWRP
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foufos:
I'm not a "noob"...I installed pixel experience beta with the correct recovery and i wanted to go back on older android version so i installed back the TWRP recovery and wanted to install again an android 12 rom or the global but always stucks on logo screen (every rom i tried) after reboot!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ntouris3:
My tip to you would be to make sure you are flashing the fastboot rom (not recovery) and that you have MiFlash set to "clean all" or "clean all and lock". It sounds like a partition format gone bad issue to me.

As long as you get a working MIUI you should be able to flash A12 roms as normal.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foufos:
Well, that sounds as a "fair" answer and i might use MiFlash again but i didn't want to...since the unlock years ago i used recovery to install any rom! Weird thing is that installing back on Pixel beta is working flawlessly!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
Try this one, use a china fastboot ROM, then use a global one, and report.

I know it's a hassle, but I think something has been left out.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ntouris3:
So you didn't try this at all? It would be my first thought, go ahead!

Same thoughts.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foufos:
Pfff... too much trouble! I think i'm gonna stick on pixel beta at the end! It is weird because that didn't happened with pixel experience 12! Since the beta android 13 update everything were ****ed on those partitions...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] antifocus:
Been using the latest A13 build since the release, everything is super smooth and the battery life is great, huge thank you to OP. I also found out that the data and cache partition is now f2fs instead of ext4 on A12 builds.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hoobecky:
Flash pe 12 recovery than format system data cache then flash twrp or orange fox as usual..thank me later
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hacking67:
I installed "PixelExperience_dipper-13.0-BETA-20220920-2210-OFFICIAL.zip" with clean way. I did not get any unordinary error. As a Google Camera installed BSG's MGC_8.6.263_A11_V5 app and it worked without problem exept slow motion did not work same as PE Plus 12.1. I can not found face unlock, possibly main reason is the first release of A13. I hope in future releases add this unlock option.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hoobecky:
Use pe 12 recovery format system than flash twrp or orangefox as usual
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foufos:
Well, i already used the PE recovery and format everything (date, cavhe and partiton), i installed then the latest TWRP recovery and after that i tried throught TWRP recovery to install global and custom android 12 roms BUT none of them seems to work! While the installation goes smoothly after reboot every rom is stacking on logo screens...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pekkle_hksar:
Which custom A12 ROM you are flashing? You may have to re-flash the required firmware.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foufos:
Any rom if i flash it stucks on logo after reboot....ANY!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Dracozirion:
It's because this is beta and not the plus version.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pekkle_hksar:
may be your last resort is to backup everything, then flash the fastboot miui rom via miflash
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foufos:
Indeed, that what i was thinking...Mi flash is my last resort! Thx, anyway!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hacking67:
After 2 day usage, I decided to turn back 12.1 Plus, I flashed PE recovery. Then make "Factory reset" I formatted all partitions multiple times. After that I sideloaded "PixelExperience_Plus_dipper-12.1-20220829-1239-OFFICIAL.zip" and reboot phone with recovery menu (not fastboot reboot). Successfully I reached welcome page. I thing, your phone memory disk corrupted or something like that.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] razenxd:
Any idea when the plus version will be released?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] foufos:
That what i was assuming to...How am i suppose to fix that corruption? Flashing global rom through MiFlash will be able to solve this problem?

I used MIUI global fastboot, latest MIUI global 12
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] emil123456789:
when you installed the global firmware, did you boot into the global firmware?

YES.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] emil123456789:
did you go through the initial setup?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
No. Just went into fastboot
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] emil123456789:
How did you flash the fastboot firmware?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
In unzipped folder

fastboot sh flashall.sh

(Linux)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] emil123456789:
So. 1. You flashed fastboot miui global 12.1, then booted to system, booted to fastboot. 2. In fastboot flashed pe recovery, in pe recovery you did format data. 3. You flashed system via sideload? It's all?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
Exactly.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] emil123456789:
Can you send me your tg. I want to try to do this and in case of an error write to you
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
Don't be afraid, its bulletproof since there's fastboot always available and recovery partition.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] emil123456789:
when I did the date format, the recovery wrote "failed to mount /cache: File Exists", and when i started sideload, i catched 2 errors: 'Logical partiton metadata has invalid geometry magic signature' and 'Couldnt read partition table'
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
format cache,system then again data and try again.

As last resort fastboot MIUI China ROM and then try again.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] emil123456789:
I can't wipe system, I catching error: failed to find dm device path for system: no such device or adress. And at end : System wipe failed

Hi, I've been using Pixel Experience 10 build 20200921 and wanted to update to pixel experience 13. is there any steps that I can do to update safely to pixel 13?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
It is written in wiki on PE 13 dipper page.

Long story short, you have to wipe data as it involves new partition scheme retrofit.

So flash new recovery, wipe data/cache/system then flash through ADB.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] seargex:
should I flash to global rom first? because I never got the chance to do any kinds of update. or just follow the installation dipper steps?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
Just follow the installation steps. They include a step where you flash firmware but if you have free time I would flash latest global ROM first.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wseric:
You can do it cause there is a latest firmwire in the global ROM itself.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] seargex:
pardon for my slowness, but on the installation step is divided into three part right?

1. unlocking the bootloader

2. install pixel experience recovery

3. flash the rom via recovery

which parts that covers on the firmware? since i have already installed pixel experience that means my bootloader is already unlocked. then i can jump straightly to the number 2, is that correct?

otherwise,

if i'm gonna flash with latest global rom, can i jump straightly to the android 12 or should flash 11 first then 12? and the latest global rom is V12.0.3.0 right?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] UnNamedChronos:
Pixel experience no need firmware because is already inside ROM... So just flash ROM and be happy
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Manosdocpap:
PLEASE FIRST FLASH NEW PE 13 RECOVERY, FORMAT DATA, THEN FLASH ROM*

- Initial android 13 release.

- PE recovery is REQUIRED

- DO NOT use any other recovery

- Partition scheme has been switched to retrofit dynamic partitioning because polaris is running out of system partition space. No actual re-partition is involved. Instead, the physical system and vendor partition is mapped together to form a logical “super” partition. The size of super partition equals the sum of the physical system and vendor partitions. After that, logical system and vendor partitions are created on top of this super partition. In this way, we are essentially redistributing space between the physical system and vendor partition to accommodate for the increase in size of system libraries and prebuilt apps.

The firmware is included with a different keymaster.img from perseus. DO NOT flash your own firmware.

To switch to other ROMs, format data in PE recovery first, and then install another recovery. You may need to re-flash the required firmware, if the ROM you are going to flash does not include one.

**

- You cannot upgrade from android 12 builds. Formatting data is required.

**

PE recovery flash guide

Download PE recovery from the official PE website

Boot your phone into fastboot mode. You can either

hold power + volume down button

or adb reboot bootloader

or use the Reboot to bootloader option in TWRP/OrangeFox

Connect your phone to a computer

Run fastboot flash recovery pe_recovery_file_name.img in your cmd/powershell/terminal

Hold power + volume up to boot into recovery

**

- PE 13 flash guide

Boot into PE recovery

Select Factory reset" --> "Format data/factory reset. You phone should say that /data, /cache, and /metadata have been formatted.

Go back to main menu and select “Apply update” –> “Apply from ADB”

Connect your phone to a computer

Run adb sideload pe_rom_file_name.zip in your cmd/powershell/terminal and wait until it finishes. It is normal if you see “Failed to find payload_properties.txt” error. Ignore it.

Reboot to system

So, its up to you if you want to flash MIUI FASTBOOT ROM first but yeah you can skip that and install straight PE13 recovery then format data,cache,system and flash through ADB.

Hi guys, i'm stil on the latest 12PE+ release and i need a way to use digital stabilization when recording a video.

-For photos i use Gcam that is amazing but works only the optical stabilization.

-For cinematic videos i use Filmic Pro that i love it, but is not good for stabilization and "fast" videos.

In the stock MIUI ROM the stock camera app is very good in video stabilization, so is there a way to install it without root or maybe is there a good app on the PlayStore?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] najabi:
I use Mercalli pc software for digital stabilization, much better than in-phone, less crop, incredible results, it can stabilize a bumpy motorbike ride.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xandreasx:
Thank you, but i need it for fast video to upload directly on socials as IG stories etc.

With the stock MIUI camera videos were very stable without any post processing

I've had to take my mi8 out of storage due to having no phone. Just installed android 13 rom and wow it's amazingly smooth, its like having a new phone not a 4 year old device.

But I don't know if it's my phone or the ROM but the battery drain is so quick. I've ordered a new battery. Will update once Ive swapped it out.

1. Vpn not working.

2.When I open the notification panel, the battery icon disappears.

Exm;
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] petersaints:
I have noticed the first issue. When I use the native Android VPN feature to connect to an IKEv2 IPSec VPN the phone just reboots. As an alternative, I use the strongSwan VPN Client to connect to the same VPN and it works well.

Regarding the battery icon disappearing, it does not happen on my phone.

BTW, shouldn't we have received a newer build by now?

October Update: The final month for the beta

We hope everyone is doing well. As per usual, the latest security patch has been merged into our sources and under the hood improvements and fixes were made for the Android 12 base. For the Android 13 we are expecting this month to be last of the beta period, hence

The last build for the Mi 8 is from September.

Maybe just be patient. He's doing it for free, what the company doesn't do. If you want to have the newest android you can try to build it yourself while the stable isn't out yet
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] petersaints:
I didn't mean to be rude. It was just an observation, Maybe there were some technical issues, or some challenges while fixing some nasty bug, that are stopping a new build from coming out. Or the maintainer may just be busy with something else since all the work in this great community is voluntary. No one has an obligation of sticking to a fixed schedule. However, we can also wonder if something unexpected happened when things don't get released.

Sorry to report that i cannot install PE_recovery latest... I have the previous version that worked fine on Android 12.

My MI8 is very difficult to boot because of the flickering display bug: it took about 45' before i could Boot...?

Now on Fastboot mode all my attempts to install the latest Recovery.img fail : cannot load Recovery.img?

I put the img.file at the root of /C:

After many hours of unsuccessful attempts it drives me nut...

Thanx for a fix
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bergui45:
I'm happy since i found the trick:

it's mandatory to make a right click + shift in an empty space inside the adb folder where the recovery file has been transferred from the download folder, to open a PowerShell:
