They do actually ✔️
What I meant was that you can't update via OTA. You just download the update via OTA ... It takes you to recovery, and then you flash the update from there.

if u wan move to pie, just have it at the back of ya mind that ya battery life cnt & wunt remain d same..
I assume you meant it'll get worse? Yeah, I've been on Pie, and I wasn't impressed, trust me. Sometimes battery discharges in 2%s..Strange. That, with the display colour, convinced me to embrace Oreo. I ported back in hours.

MIUI 11 Stable ✔️
Wow. Fresh material design.. Looking good. The stable release isn't out on RN5 pro yet. Patiently waiting. Miui 11 may force me to give pie another try... Let's see. Rocking my EU Miui 10 Oreo for the meantime.
Mind giving us a quick review of this stable release, bro..? Battery performance, display colours (very important), cam and all that. We'll appreciate.

First of all Xiaomi.eu is a miui based custom rom.
To be Frank there is no noticeable changes in miui 11.
Miui 11 is not yet out on stable rom only on China rom on some selected devices. Maybe if it does come out on stable rom there maybe noticeable changes. I just like miui 11 only because it new. Most themes on the theme store is displaying a compatiblility error message.
I use Xiaomi.eu too...have been using it ever since I got my phone. I'm just interested in the content of Miui 11. I don't just upgrade because it's "a new update", there has to be hugely significant change(s) before I do. You may not believe it but I'm still Oreo just because of its superior display colors and insane stability. I installed pie minutes after it came out but downgraded in less than 2 days because I don't like it - the dark mode is cool tho, but Oreo has it too. Until there's absolutely a need to, I may never leave Oreo/Miui 10.
Thanks for your review tho.

Looking good. Pls bro, can you give us a quick review of Miui 11? What are the major differences compared to Miui 10? Would you pick 11 over 10?

But the Mi band was never advertised as a smartwatch it is the Amazfit that carries that title
Never heard of Amazfit.
I'm just saying Xiaomi should consider going full smartwatch mode on the fit tech, or they can accommodate both - designing a smartwatch while also retaining their MiBand series.

Mi band 4 is very great gan.

Just go to Gsmarena and read the review.
Sure Mi band 4 is awesome. However my only problem with it is the design...It has this 'toyish' look despite its incredible features. The look is not even remotely close to what you call a watch, which, I guess, is why it's called "band" in the first place. I personally prefer the smartwatch design. Fitbit is what Mi band 4 should be. It's arguably the best... Very popular in the US, but very expensive. My uncle uses it.

I hope we haven't forgotten that the Redmi note series are higher than the Redmi series? The note series even older ones pack superior hardwares especially with display. There's no Redmi series with full HD display save for the abandoned Redmi 4 prime ( looking at fibonacci2526 tongue). As for camera, even the Redmi note 4x can hold its own against the Redmi 7 both on gcam). As someone already stated, theirs a tiny notification light underneath the phone, you won't see it if you already installed any tampered glass with black borders. For support, the note series naturally get better treatment, no surprises here.
I agree. I've never been really interested in Redmi series. My friend asked me to order it for him, so naturally my interest peaked when I got the phone. Had to compare. The Note series is without doubt more superior.

Redmi Note 5 pro is a superior device to the Redmi 7
Yeah bro. That was my original belief. But feeling it firsthand today removed a few doubts that have been lingering from the day it was released. Some persons will still go for R7 tho.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by Reddington(m):
Ordered Redmi 7 for my Infinix friend... Arrived yesterday after 15 days. He's absolutely loving it.
Personally noted a few things tho during unboxing (which I made sure my fairly noob friend didn't notice, to avoid dampening his joy). I use Redmi Note 5pro, and I can confidently say RN5pro is a better phone, both in display and support, having felt both phones. I'm not a fan of notch which happens to be the only design feature missing on RN5 but present on R7. Both phones have same camera pixels, but RN5 produces sharper images... And some other slight differences like absence of front flash & notification light in R7. RN7 has software advantage tho - comes with pie OS out of the box. RN5 - Oreo.
I hope this info will be helpful in the future for prospective Xiaomites who may find theirselves torn between RN5pro and R7.

Install a download manager like ADMPro

1. Use Ucbrowser to start download, pause, click and hold the process, click details and copy file URL, if ADM Pro is open it will pick it up automatically, if not paste the link in ADM Pro

2. Use Mozilla browser, download managers work with it seamlessly
UC browser is a faster download tool in my opinion...

One of the major problems of Mediatek soC is lack of development... Don't expect much on custom rom dev... App porting (like Gcam) etc.

Lol, boss you know how e dey be na.

Custom ROM addicts go dey say MIUI too dull or pure Android dey boring but ironically the same person go flash & manage ROM with major bugs like no Bluetooth driver, dysfunctional FP scanner etc just coz na custom ROM
Louder, pls.
Some would even finally settle for MIUI secretly after hopping from one AOSP rom to another. Have been using my RN5 for almost a year now... Flashed Xiaomi.eu (pure miui) rom the day it landed - smoothest, cleanest rom ever. And switching to a different rom isn't even in my wildest plans. I used Samsung for 5 years plus (Galaxy S2, S4 & S5) before switching to Xiaomi, and in those years I flashed a lot of custom roms (from Omega rom to Paranoid android to Resurrection Remix to AOKP rom to PACman rom etc). And I learnt one thing: NO custom rom will ever be as perfect as the original roms from OEMs! Forget customizations. There is always gonna be bugs here and there compared to original roms. There's always something the original rom does excellently that custom ones don't. Don't forget that most of these guys creating custom roms are just like you and me.. They do it at their leisure times without much critical considerations. They're not really professionals compared to the OEMs who created One UI (previously Samsung Experience and Touchwizard) for Samsung devices, Miui for Xiaomi devices, Oxygen OS for One plus devices.. The list goes on..
Look, guys if you can, stick to Miui..It was specially designed and created for Xiaomi phones for a reason. However if you can't control your urge to explore customisations & the urge to always be ahead of others, then AOSP roms (and some very customizable miui-based roms like masik, miuipro) are always there with open arms...It comes at a cost tho - random bugs! grin

Mind made-up. Even after few complaints on forums plus my feedback reports, the newest RN5 xiaomi.eu update (10.3.3.0) on pie, still retained the horrible display colours. I no just fit shout... I'll be downgrading to Oreo tonight. Pie is great with the dark mode and all, but I can't stand the display colour...it's beyond horrible. #BackToOreoTonight!
Finally downgraded. My beloved Oreo is back. I have my display colours back! So happy now. Pie is a little overrated. Same way lollipop was when it came out... Kitkat was always better! Upgrade is a 50-50 stuff.
Won't be shifting an inch from Oreo again until Android Q roles out on Xiaomi.eu.

I asked because I need help installing the ROM.
And please, you didn't answer my first question.
Also, if I'm porting from Chinese to eu will my data be lost?
Yes, coz you're coming from stock miui. It is always advisable to clean-flash when flashing Eu the first time... It's stated on their website.

I plan to flash Eu ROM soon, will I lose all my data?? and how do I flash the ROM through TWRP??
Yeah. If you're coming from AOSP-based rom or stock miui, you'll lose all user data, but not files on internal storage like songs, videos, pics etc. Just wipe data/factory reset from twrp before flashing and you're good to go.

So you're saying every update is about a Gigabyte?
And did your device come with the ROM or did you install it manually?
Lol. You sound like you're new to roms. I manually installed it. Xiaomi.eu is a miui-based custom rom... Just like miuiPro

PEICNXM is actually a code for the Chinese version.
Judging by the size of the update it looks like you're downloading another Room entirely. No slight change should be 1.6gb.
Not sure tho.
Eu roms are actually ported from Chinese roms, with few tweaks but far cleaner. Eu roms doesn't support incremental updates.. You flash the whole rom for any update. But you can dirty-flash, that way, 0 data will be lost.
