[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] gjongbloed:
After having good results with a Redmi Note 8T*, I installed EvolutionX (230901.b1-10300100) on my Redmi Note 11 (spesn). Everything works fine. But... I forgot to re-install TWRP prior to rebooting. And now I can't possibly re-install TWRP. I'm used to 'fastboot boot (twrp-img file)', but everytime the process ends in exiting fastboot-mode and ending with the mi-logo. TWRP just doesn't open. Prior to EvolutionX, I had PixelExperience and SuperiorOS installed. Never had a problem with re-installing TWRP. Any ideas?

Addition:

After a second look at the - I thought - default recovery mode, I discovered that this mode is in fact an EvolutionX recovery mode with some advanced options (see below). This at least allows flashing of an update or even of a different ROM: the option 'Factory reset' includes 'format data', essential for flashing a different ROM or to flash the (coming?) A14 EvolutionX ROM... (Would like an option to wipe cache and Dalvik only, in addition to Format Data/Factory reset)

By the way:

Meanwhile, I do have EvolutionX (A14) with November security patch on my Redmi Note 8T, a telephone about 3 years older than my Redmi Note 11...

Will there be Android 14 for Xiaomi Redmi Note 11?

I found more (although still A13) updates at

And this pages also shows - a still empty - A14 folder....

Is there a vanilla release ?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Rafaru:
Hello , I am just about flashing this ROM , I hve redmi note 11 for around 1 year but have not used any custom till now , does this one worth it ?? Still developing or discontuned please ??
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] ZeultyX:
after flashing rom everything looks good but can't boot into twrp anymore tried several times its just stucks at mi logo but if you do reboot again recovery turns to stock recovery and phone opens without problem
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] gjongbloed:
I had the same experience initially, but it proved less problematic: the recovery LOOKS like stock recovery, but in reality it is EvolutionX recovery, with features that approach those of TWRP. See my entry, earlier this thread, Nov 15.

Meanwhile, I had success with OrangeFox: the most recent OF file in

Recovery for Xiaomi devices - Browse /spes at SourceForge.net

List of relevant recovery in one place

sourceforge.net

Unpack it, and use the file recovery.img. fastboot boot (this file) worked for me! And after installing OrangeFox recovery, you can also install twrp 3.7.0 if you like...

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] zacc10:
I have seen people on Telegram using EvolutionX with Android 14, but it's unofficial and has some bugs. It's not yet 100% stable
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] gepeapan:
this twrp is compatible with android 11? to installing EvoX? I'm using MIUI 13 A11
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] NeoPreacher:
Yes. It's for flashing A13 roms like evox. It doesn't matter from which android you come. The compatibility is for the rom you flash, not the system you actually run.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] gepeapan:
Hello, i flashed this magnífic rom. Congratulations to the developers! In my use, I percept a problem, the fast charging not work. How do solve this?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Seren557:
status bar bugs sometimes when i pull down on it, any fix? this also happens to pixel experience and i solved it by using the circle icon for the battery, but for this rom ive tried everything and nothing works
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Seren557:
solved by setting the 3 animations in dev settings to atleast 0.1 i dont like having animations but ig its better than having the ui bugs out on you
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Walterkom:
Too bad it's the last custom ROM for the Redmi Note 11

Try a different rom......

When I start with this rom I delete everything from google, is this normal? I don't understand why anyone uses Google apps, but that's my personal opinion. I have one question, why FM Radio can't be uninstalled? and why has permissions to phone?

etar calendar stop working, It's a little weird, It's open source apk. Edit. I disable calendar storage APk
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Rafaru:

How is it nowadays with latest patch.

Battery life has improved or still the same?

ive read its about 5h sot with 1440p 120hz and 7h sot 1080p 60hz, what about standby drain?

And pictures? did they improve in quality?

And you think its still worth as a used phone in 2022 or i'm better with another? Example Huawei P40 Pro

Hi,

Do SM-S908U1 receive OTA outside the US? (OS updates). With out any problems?

Or do I need to update it manually each time?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] PapaDocta:
Receives updates without any issues anywhere in the world... I bought my Sm-s908u1 outside the US and received updates in Poland and Austria as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Abaddon:
Receives without any issue.

Your csc will be XAA so you will get an update the moment they drop an update for XAA.

I bought a u1 and constantly travel to Asia/US back and forth since the Galaxy S1 and have no problems with a U/U1 device receiving updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] malikin:
no issues or usa US VPN for ota updates if getting errors
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Aftashok:
....how much time before a ROM like, becomes obsolete, per se? like, would i be missing something were i to have the same ROM for like a month?

like what really happens to a ROM within a week-to-week basis? cuz i see some of the ROMs in the section are constantly being updated....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Junner2003:
Once you flashed your device, you have what you have - until you reflash it again! :D

Just like on a desktop computer: if you install Windows XP and Microsoft later releases Vista, your computer will have XP until you decide one day to actually install VISTA on your computer.

Chefs continiously improve their ROM's by fixing BUGs and adding new cool features to them. All those changes are posted in the related threads in the ROM DEVELOPMENT section.

If you flashed your device with a cooked ROM and you're happy with it, well, nothing wrong with it! If you flashed your ROM and you encountered a BUG, post it in the related thread or read the posts regarding a newer release of that ROM in order to see if that BUG had been fixed. The same about new features, simply keep reading the posts and decide for yourself if it would be worth upgrading or not ... ! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] typo:
Lots of things can change between releases. The chefs fix bugs, add or remove bundled programs, change features, change skins and appearances. Luckily, most chefs are pretty good at noting the changes they make.

There's nothing wrong with sticking with a ROM for a while, though. My usual habit is to flash a fair number over the course of a couple days, then stick with my favorite of them for a month or so. Trying to flash a new ROM every time one is released means that you'll spend more time configuring your phone than actually USING it. And some people are just fine with that -- but my Kaiser is a tool for me, and I need to be able to use that tool.

Some of the more passionate folks here might try and evaluate new ROMs far more often, however, and there's nothing wrong with that, either.
[Android Head-Units] DexterMorganNL:
I have unmasked Saab Unleashed: he is mainly promoting, headunits send for free by resellers. He says he isn't paid for it or whatever, and even denied at first for deleting my comments on YouTube.

Several times I mentioned AlliExpress, both times my comments got deleted. But the second time I took a screenshot, because I was expecting this to happening.

So a fair warning: take the reviews from Saab Unleashed with a grain of salt, he is heavily sponsored by Chinese resellers. Please don't trust him, as he makes these Android head-units look better than they are.

This guy is what we call a person, who isn't honest and basically just an influencer. And the point being, he is just promoting all these unknown brands. While avoiding his viewers, of getting knowledge of others places to buy these universal units.
[Android Head-Units] Griffinous:
Hey Dexter / Wesley,

Let me begin by saying that I am extremely disappointed that you have chosen to brand me as dishonest, especially as you are an active member of this community.

I said in response to your comment on my video that you are entitled to your opinion. However, as you have deleted the conversation that we had on my channel comments, let me reiterate what was discussed and add a few points.

1. I don't delete comments on my channel, ever. If they are deleted, it is for reasons out of my control, something to do with YouTube. This should be obvious due to the back and forth we had in the comments; surely I would have just deleted that instead of responding to you? (I see you deleted it once I provided information in response, but I still have the comments in email notification)

2. I start each of my videos expressly saying that I do not get paid to endorse any companies or products, and I further explain the circumstances of how head units are sourced in my latest video descriptions. The main point here is that a free head unit does not guarantee a positive review, and I have proven this multiple times with scathing reviews on bad products, to the point that I have been asked to take down the review from the manufacturer (which of course, I don't). If there are negative points, I always mention them. I always score each of the head units based on my opinion of using them, and there are plenty of low scores. That's all.

Regarding your comment suggesting that I make head units look better than they are; I try to be as transparent as possible with my reviews. I show clearly everything that I am doing in various tests, showing load times, missing features etc. I have a unique perspective of being able to play with multiple of these head units, so I can see where one is better than the other. But the idea is that others form their own opinion based on what I show.

I'm a guy who has a personal interest in electronics and gadgets, including in-car technology, I use my platform as an opportunity to play with these head units and show people what I think. I do it for fun, not for profit, but I understand that not everyone will appreciate my content. That's fine. But I do feel the need to say something when someone publically suggests something which is simply not true.

Anyway, you and I share the same interests, and rather than assuming the worst about me, I'd much rather have constructive feedback from you (and anyone else) on how I can make the videos better.

Best,

Stu

Saab Unleashed @ YouTube
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I´ve seen some of your videos.

One thing to mention:

Most of these are just labeled by the reseller as their own units and they are most probably also delivered by other reseller with the same back, the same firmware and MCU and even the same packaging.

Example: Pumpkin... They are just reseller and buy their units at different manufactures and just put a sticker on the screen... nothing else.

So may be a good idea to have a look at the MCU which is installed in their units, so you are able to tear the units down to the real manufacture.

...but... I appreciate your videos, even if they are not relevant for my personal decisions.
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
Huh? You do reviews without a teardown? Count me out.
[Android Head-Units] Griffinous:
I know a few of these head units share the same base hardware, however, some have their own variations of specific components, and indeed, firmware. It's true I don't do teardowns, mainly because that gets ultra-technical and the majority of people that watch are just looking for something cool to put in their car, so I mainly focus on the end-user experience.

That being said, what I am thinking of doing is creating a sister Insta account which goes into more detail to answer those more technical questions.
[Android Head-Units] Griffinous:
Yeah, the reviews are definitely not XDA-worthy.
[Android Head-Units] Renate:
I wasn't trying to be mean. I was just speaking as somebody who has broken things that I paid hard cash for because I reached for a screwdriver/guitar pick before I ever even powered the brand new device on. :p
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I really feel with you. :D

In the past I was exactly on the same page... Buy, disassemble, reassemble and test. May be some occupational disease to look inside what I spent money for.

But as I am becoming old now, I buy them, test them first, and then tear down that stuff. :D

I think this is the best foldable phone ever.

[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] carrieta17:
I have had mine for a week, agree best foldable to date.. Has anyone rooted yet ? other than mild annoyance with delayed notifications despite the regular setting changes in place in my home security and outlook all is perfect. Notifications only come in once I unlock the phone... No issues with google messages or whatsapp
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] AndroPlus:
I rooted.

These may fix delayed notifications:

Disable "Sleep mode" in battery settings

Disable "Suspend execution for cached apps" in developer options

Disable powerkeeper (Most people including me can disable it safely, but somehow few people got bootloop so take backup)

Install Global ROM-ify Magisk module

[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] ajschill77:
Is there a global rom for this phone? Do you need to root to install that? On my phone it does not say Global by MIUI version or anywhere, Im on stable Miui Fold 13.1.16. Any advantages to the Global rom? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] azim.esmail:
There's no Global rom, and likely won't. There haven't been any announcements or rumours about brining this phone to the Global market. I'm hoping it does. Maybe if enough people import the Chinese model, they will bring the Mix Fold 3 to the Global market.

You can keep an eye on Xiaomi.eu to see if they develop a global rom for it, but as of right now they said they have no plans on developing one. If they do end up developing one, you will need root access to install.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] Glesi2323:
Are you in the US? What carrier are you running? People I know are running T-Mobile on 5g without editing settings but my 5g does not stick and nothing I do in settings doesn't help (it isn't location either, 5g is right where I live)
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] Glesi2323:
Anyone in the US who has this phone, did you mess with any settings to get 5g? I know there's some people on TMobile that are getting 5g out the box with no settings update but with my T-Mobile sim, it resorts to LTE/LTE+ even though I have 5g preferred and all 5g switches on.

Can you please share your rooting method? I am not a novice when it comes to rooting. Custom recovery etc, but finding it hard to locate a proper guide, or custom recovery. Did you use Magisk for patched boot.img method? TWRP or OrangeFox custom recovery.

Any help or pointing in the right direction would be really helpful!

yes, I got my fold yesterday and I'm going insane with no gmail notifications if screen is off. can you please post the guide on how to root?

You don't need to uninstall the powerkeeper; turning off sleep mode in the battery saver scenarios should help.

and now i'm in an endless bootloop. i really need help

if anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it. I've wasted so many hours now already since this happened. Damn near ready to cry our of frustration after importing this device to the USA and only having it for two days.

My device is not unlocked which from what I read means I'm screwed.

I can get into fastboot but that is it. My device is recognized by miflash but I think I can't flash anything because my bootloader is locked.

I keep searching, reading and trying things but my knowledge is not great. I can't get out of this bootloop or flash anything with miflash

oh man this is so bad, and I got rid of my fold also and don't have another phone.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] ThatsJustLogic:
Have you tried booting into recovery and doing a factory reset? You would lose your data but I'd imagine it would reset any package changes you made allowing the phone to boot again (I haven't actually tested this nor do I even know if there is a recovery as I haven't tried to boot into it)

Can someone confirm the following

I installed the Google App but when I search for it in the app drawer it is not present.

If I search for the app in playstore , playstore indicates it is installed and I can open the Google app inside the playstore app. I rechecked in the app drawer and it is not there. Is there a solution to have it in the app drawer ?

Same issue. I got annoyed having to open the PlayStore and search for the Google App to open it from there, so I used the Activity Launcher app to create a shortcut for it

Much appreciated 👍
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] dee163:
I tried activity launcher but I am getting this error

What am I doing wrong
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] frcraig:
Not sure why it won't work for you, but there is another method you can try. Press and hold on a blank space on the homescreen until it brings up App Vault / Add Widgets; scroll down past all the MIUI widgets until you see 'Android Widgets'; they aren't in alphabetical order but keep scrolling down until you see "Google" which has two options "Search" and "Calendar Search". Add the "Search" widget and you will get a search bar with the Google App icon, a space to enter searches, and a microphone to be used for voice searches. With this small search widget permantently on your homescreen, just click the little Google App icon that is part of this widet and voila - the Google App opens.
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] dee163:
Thank you for the 2nd option

This works. Activity launcher requires root?
[Xiaomi Mix Fold 2] frcraig:
I created my shortcut with Activity Launcher after rooting so I'm not sure if it would have worked for me before I rooted.
