You have a week until you can unlock your bootloader, so try MIUI for a week and decide for yourself. I would recommend to debloat Miui first. I am counting final hours, before which I can unlock..

Can't stand MIUI for more than a week
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zimmster:
So true those 10 seconds of waiting for many changes become incredibly annoying vrey fast.

Arrow OS is really fast booting and incredibly smooth interface, to bad in the customisation department is a little lacking
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] acbdo6:
What's the best rom for gaming in your opinion? I have the stable xiaomi.eu 12.6 but i don't know if there are others better than this one. Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] fonzserge18:
same question. installed aosp based roms and CODM does not work properly. its lacking of graphics
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] acbdo6:
Good to know. Waiting for another answers from others members. Have you tried egg ns on aosp as well?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] maahmd:
the same here for me....in eu miui fast and stable for games...any good ather rom ?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Games Goblin:
My advice - use MIUI EU stable ROM first and see if it suits you - if not, then explore AOSP ROMS
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] uriii13:
AOSP always, but it's nice to try MIUI first! It's improving. Specially when in some month it will be updated to MIUI 13, and our F3 will be one of the firsts MIUI's devices to do it. So I would do what people said, but I'm completing it:

- Ask (yes, you have to ask first) to unlock your bootloader. You'll have to wait for a week before unlocking it.

- Try MIUI relaxed for a week. Take some screenshots about battery... and try to feel how smooth and performant can be

- (7 days later asking unlocking bootloader) Unlock bootloader. It will erase everything. Take advantage of it to change to some AOSP Rom, like AICP, ProtonAOSP, ArrowOS (never tryied), or whatever. You have dozens.

- Compare and decide some days later. You can always come to stock. And in the while, in some months you will have MIUI 13, so yeap
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Depends on your taste! If you like MIUI over Vanilla Android, you can flash Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM for the best MIUI experience.

I dislike MIUI, but I use Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM, because the Vanilla Android ROMs I've tried don't have Dolby Atmos (or a good version implemented) and lackluster Camera-App.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] m0lly.:
The sound is so good on eu that I just don't wanna leave it, btw there's this bouncy scroll sometimes on eu, I'm on latest eu beta, same for you?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Yup, also Beta! Also, when trying out AOSP ROMs I noticed the vibration felt really cheap, and I think Xiaomi has done vibration motor calibration on MIUI, to make the vibration motor feel as good as it does. If you set a Custom Vibration Time in Gboard (MIUI & AOSP), it also feels weird and cheap.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] m0lly.:
Does the bouncy scroll thing happen on your end? ++ moto dolby on aosp doesn't sound good.

you can try out hentai os
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Yup, but i think the Overscroll effect only happens in the Settings unfortunately. I tried Moto Dolby and didn't like it at all, it didn't sound anywhere near Xiaomi's Dolby Atmos?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ClementNerma:
My experience so far is:

* Yes, MIUI is very nice and the new UI (e.g. control center) is very nice as well

* MIUI has a lot of bloatware but you can remove them all

* Battery life is fine as well (getting 6h ~ 6h30 of SoT without gaming)

* The Xiaomi.EU ROM is as good as the stock one but with less bloatware and some nice additional features, still 100% compatible (so both camera and Dolby Atmos speakers quality are preserved)

ArrowOS is very nice and smooth but not really much faster to stock anyway. Camera quality is worse, speakers quality is way worse due to the lack of Dolby Atmos support. There are a few bugs here and there and globally you aren't getting the stability guarantees of the stock ROM as with all custom ROMs.

So, finally:

* If you want maximum stability to avoid all problems, or if you are fine with MIUI's UI, stick with the stock ROM

* If you want good stability and 100% compatibility, go for the Xiaomi.EU ROM

* If you want stock-like experience, ArrowOS or crDroid are both very good (although I've had problems with crDroid, but it's my personal experience)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] m0lly.:
moto dolby is downright bad ive tried all aosp that have it, tbh theres no effect its just sound and hurting sound no effects whatsoever.

miui dolby is really nice and i love it it gives a sourround feel

if only it could be ported to aosp
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
I love it if it would get ported into an AOSP ROM!

Also small tip with Dolby Atmos: You can enable Video Toolbox in your favourite Music app (Spotify, YouTube Music, whatever) and customise the sound of the Dolby Atmos Video-Preset. This way you can adjust the surround sound of your music. ^^
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] m0lly.:
ive turned video toolbox on but how do i toggle it? i mean how can i open it in app?

if it'd be ported it'd be dope,

you have any idea how to debloat all the tracking analytics i mean literally everything?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] m0lly.:
@dreamytom

The only reason you should quit using meme ui however bad aosp is atm.

I was having a blocklist on and it was constatly trying to call back home, how much ever debloat you do it doesn't matter

adv.sec.intl.miui.com

sdkconfig.as.intl.xiaomi.com

api.sec.miui.com

tracking.miui.com

sdkconfig.ad..com

this on eu beta

all these keep getting blocked with the firewall they'll try 10 fold more but won't be able to reach home

This is the amount of tracking that is going on feels so **** scary seems like they f* log taps too

def use a firewall

this is the only reason you'd rather prefer using aosp
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
You will see a transparent line on the upper left side in the app that you've enabled it for. Swipe from that line to the right.

About Analytics, I just revoked all the rights for Xiaomi to track me. Settings > Privacy & Security > Authorization & Revocation (vague settings-name ^^).

I also disabled Google Ads Personalisation and the standard Android Usage Analytics. Both settings you can find in Settings > Privacy. Also disabled some tracking in my Google Account + I logged out of my Xiaomi Account.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
I hate that. I knew they'd track us, doesn't surprise me.

It's also not wrong to think that they may be sending that data to the Chinese Gov't, seems likely to me.

For what it's worth I rooted my phone and use AdAway. I hope its blocking those servers...

But yes, it's fair to say they're literally spying on you...

What also bothers me is that MIUI may have other shady stuff in its ROM.

You know how there's been a scandal over some phone manufacturers having implemented logic to detect Benchmark apps and purposely boosting them for better scores? I assume Xiaomi does the same + more shady stuff. ^^
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] m0lly.:
great that youre using adway it does block them from calling home and yes they do send stuff to china but if youve got adaway youre safe to some extent,

btw the score manipulation thing maybe possible but from what ive understood its something like this

All cores do not run at its full capacity on meme they are capped a lil so youre not using max frequencies what really happens is that when it benchmarks or when it needs more perf it enables the top table frequencies max frequencies, i think thats how they get better scores prolly becausing of raising freqs but it hardly is small time boost and later goes into throttle after a few mins.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] bwanapete:
A few weeks ago I installed Pixel Experience Official ROM. I was enjoying it and installed the first System update without a hitch. A month later I got the second System update. After installing the phone got into boot loop. I had no option other than installing the Redmi Note 8 pro ROM. I'm on Miui 12.5 with locked boot loader and have decided to stay put.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
How long did you wait for it to boot? Sometimes after an update it can take 10 minutes to boot, which is crazy, but it is like that.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zimmster:
People who install non MIUI based Roms try to leave behind the MIUI bugs and limitations Xiaomi implemented in order to restrict users. MIUI is not all glamour and joy, is NOT BAD! Is smooth and looks good. But is not everyone's cup of tea. Yes you lose in the camera department, but you gain alot more in usability. Sound can be better in my opinion if you install Viper4android or even Re-equalzer. You get sound profiles, higher volume, alot more effects and filters. You need to spend a little time to tune your smartphone to your preference.

If you enjoy getting your fingers dirty you can tune the phone to your liking.

I, a casual user of ArrowOs, do not experience issues. I pay using NFC, i use wireless headphones, colors are as vivid and punchy as in MIUI, all sensors work ok, i can control battery/charging settings using Acca, i can Uninstall unwanted system apps even though there are only few beside Google's, i can use gestures with any launcher i want.... My options are limitless in comparison with MIUI and the trade-offs are minor. People, don't think that the experience of having a custom ROM is inferior to MIUI
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] dcmandrel:
Do you receive updates via OTA in Xiaomi.EU stable ROM?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] m0lly.:
Yes you do. Haven't updated using ota tho. I mostly flash with twrp

Hello I installed this GT-I9195: https://www.mediafire.com/file/9gmf...8.1-20210912-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip/file

It works fine But I have a problem with the Instagram app, I can't post a video And when I installed Android 10, I don't have a problem with the Instagram app Do you have a solution to this problem or a bug in Android 11 ??
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] michelD:
As already said, it's mainly a question of taste, but objectively, MIUI is not that bad: basically, everything is working fine, it is stable, fast with extremely low power consumption (1% during 8hours night)

If you don't like the camera, install gcam and you can use both in parallel in order to get the best of both worlds.

If you don't like the launcher, which is very understandable, you can easily replace it with others like Nova whose version 7.xx is working fine. And you can even use gestures with it, but needs your phone to be rooted to work correctly.

After testing different versions (EU, MMX, OneOS, VN) I slightly recommend EU which seems more polished.

And finally, don't hesitate to root your phone in order to suppress ads with Adaway, fine tune the sound with Viper4Androidfx and ACC to preserve your battery by limiting the max charge to 80%.

FYI, I tried few AOSP ROMs, but not really convinced especially with (idle) power consumption that was never as good as with MIUI based ROMs.

I hope it helps
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] m0lly.:
It'll take up battery life if you can root and use host files
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Darkaeluz:
CrDroid is working wonderfully and has great customization
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] huotg01:
In my opimion, there are some really ennoying problems with MIUI.

One of them is that MIUI is not working well with Android Car. When Android Car starts a dialogue by asking more questions, only the first answer is processed. It is well reported on the Android car forum, and all those talking about it are ...Xiaomi owners!

Another problem seems tp prevent you from using a fundamental Android function: unlocking when you are at a specific location, or connected to a spécific wifi network, or...etc.

Therefore, the added MIUI layer is very irritating, and my next phone won't be a Xiaomi. That said, it is a good phone, but I just don't understand why they "break" Android basic functions.

Number of questions...

I currently live in the UK and use the following mobiles the MDA Compact IV and the Samsung U900 soul as my back up phone (both currently locked to T-Mobile). I am about to move to Dubai and would like to know:::

1) Will these phones work over there... really confirm what I think (IE they will provided they are unlocked).

2) Does T-Mobile operate over there? If not what service providers are there and how competitive are they? I benefit from being on an employees tariff with T-Mobile at the moment.

3) Does anyone want to buy a T-Mobile branded Athena with the AP4.0 Rom?

Got my classic Friday along with the wife's z flip 3
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 2015Ducatimulti:

But mine was an order, not really sure why this had to be an issue? Went from excited to disappointed REAL quick. Whatever, tomorrow is fine. At least it's not delayed.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] STRUZZIN:
I bet but anything is better than Amazon not showing anything at all.

I don't get how Samsung can ship them out since the 11th and everyone else has a hard date.

If we can have them tomorrow then why can't Amazon or BB ship yesterday or today

so we can have them on the 27th >?

I may just have to cancel my Amazon and go pick one up at BB then.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mheisig:
I purchased a used Galaxy Tab S5e with the hopes of installing LineageOS on it. I got the SM-T727U based on the (perhaps faulty) understanding that it would not be tied to a carrier and would have the OEM Unlock option after enabling the developer options. So far I don't' see the OEM Unlock option at all, which means I haven't made it past the pre-install instructions for LineageOS.

Device Info:

SM-T727U

Android 11

Baseband: T727UUEU2DUG2

CSC says "VZW/VZW/XAA"

I saw other guides recommending flashing the US Cellular SM-T727R4 firmware. I've tried that and it's failed each time, put the device into the "Your device failed to update" error screen, which required me to re-flash the latest SM-T727U firmware to just get it working again.

So, is it possible to enable the OEM Unlock for this device? If not, what specific hardware would I need to purchase to be able to install LineageOS on it?
