That's why it doesn't come so frequently Unless of course for those using the beta rom, all the best to them
Correct. Weeklies, as most developers call it.. They drop virtually EVERY week!

Flashing hefty ROM of over 2.5Gb whenever there is an update doesn't make xiaomi.eu ROM to be attractive
It's no biggie bro. I flash stables which drop every few months..
Besides, OEM roms (including custom OEM rom like Xiaomi.eu) are very notorious for their larger sizes.. Those Samsung days (TouchWizard then), rom sizes are always from 1.9gb up, no matter what device it is.. This is mostly due to heavy theming/skin and bloatwares.. So it's really nothing new, man...

Welcome back home after the sojourn to land of custom ROMS (Masik, Miui Mix, RevOs, RR, Derpfest and Corvus). No place like home!!

Tweaking suspended until further notice cheesy
Welcome back! Indeed, no place like home grin In my case it's Xiaomi.eu... Never left home in almost 2 years grin

You should have added a disclaimer that it's not the official stock Rom but a custom Miui Rom.
Disclaimer? When I clearly stated everything including rom name? I posted the news on "Xiaomi tweaking" and not the main thread... wasn't by accident... It was purely on purpose.

Thanks a lot sire. I really want to understand how 15% could be drained when the phone was idle. I will update it later.



As for AOSP roms, the number of complaints and problems I see on xda really scares me. Almost all of them have a major bug on rn8.
Although I'm yet to spot a single bug in my virtually two years of using Xiaomi.eu, most custom roms have bugs which are inherent of their respective rom bases. But Aosp-based roms are evidently buggier.

Since the creation of this thread, people have been dropping loads and loads of bug reports. I've equally seen several complaints on different threads online and on Telegram. In most cases, people still come back to Miui. My brother's friend left AOSP November last year after his frustrations with AEX.. He used to love the rom until the rom decided to barb im head grin

Most AOSP roms are far more customizable than miui-based ROMS which explains why lots of persons go for it despite a slightly poorer battery backup. Some of them are quite okay for daily driver TBH. Users endure painful bugs of different forms, but will keep mute about it, just for bragging rights and customization.

In the end tho, everything is down to your stroke. Customization over stability ? The decision is yours bro. smiley

This is the craziest battery drain I've ever seen on MIUI.

This miui12 beta eu wants to finish me oo.


From 70%-55% and I was asleep. I'm struggling to reach 7 hrs SOT on rn8
Been using Xiaomi.eu for over a year now... Never seen anything like this. From your screenshots, it is apparent that something has been keeping your phone "awake" even when it should be "sleeping", hence the battery drain.. Probably a combination of core system apps.. Not sure. Wait for stable builds if a standard wipe, reinstallation or reboot doesn't solve your problem.....or..... you can join the AOSP wagon.. It's a pretty popular wagon, by the way!grin

That said, going through some replies after your post, I found it utterly hilarious that some persons have chosen to take this personal given our earlier disagreements on ROM superiority... Another bold testament that some people badly need to grow up, on a more serious note.

Xiaomi.eu remains the most stable & cleanest ROM ever!; that's not my opinion only; it is the opinion of hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. Can't wait for the next stable build.. I refresh links twice a day in sheer anticipation grin

EducationNigeria Considering GCE As Replacement For 2020 WASSCE- Minister by Reddington(op): 8:41pm On Jul 24, 2020
NIGERIA CONSIDERING GCE as REPLACEMENT FOR 2020 WASSCE- MINISTER

The federal government has said Nigerian students may be asked to sit for the General Certificate Examinations (GCE) holding in November if the country fails to meet up with this year’s timetable for the West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

The GCE is a private examination which is only offered in November and the results are available by December.
The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, made this known at the bi-weekly Presidential Task Force (PTF) on
COVID-19 meeting on Thursday.
The minister explained the shift may become necessary since the WASSCE cannot be rescheduled for any reason.
PREMIUM TIMES reported how the Nigerian government reversed its earlier announcement on the resumption of schools.
It also said no Nigerian school will participate in the WASSCE earlier scheduled from August 5 to September 5.
The decision was made to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among students who usually gather in large numbers during the yearly examination.

Also, Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, and Liberia have begun discussions on postponing the WASSCE.
However, Mr Nwajuiba said there was already a negotiated timeline to move local language subjects such as Ibo, Yoruba and Hausa as offered in Nigeria, behind from their usual spots as first written subjects.
This is to allow all participating countries the needed time to write the general subjects at the same time if Nigeria is able to meet up with the WAEC timetable.
“Nigeria is not moving away from it, the option would have been to go to November to take the GCE external exams. Nigeria is carefully studying that if in the event everything fails, we may go to that,” he said.

“In the guideline, there is a checklist of the requirements to be put in place and we have given a cut off date so we can know who needs help,” he said.
According to him, “we need to know if the teachers cannot be provided with masks, if the school is unable to do that we need to know ahead because states that have given dates for resumption of schools are setting a timetable along the lines we have already explained and they are free to do this.
“Many states have come to say they are unable to meet up with that date that is why the minister requested WAEC give us and the schools some time to meet up,” he said.
He said the government will work out a ‘domestication module’ that will take “our peculiar subjects behind after we have done general (subjects). This will buy us the time we need for all of us to be at par with the rest of West Africa and operating at the same time because the unanimity with which WAEC has always worked is still very important to us.
“WAEC unfortunately, is unable to wholesomely move the exams but we have also worked out a negotiated timeline with WAEC on what we call peculiar Nigerian subjects. These are subjects that are only held in Nigeria such as Ibo, Hausa, Yoruba. The Ghanaians will take examinations peculiar to them,” he said.

Battery drain issue during idle time with Masik 15 still raised it's ugly head embarassed with MIUI MIX despite doing a clean flashing, a total formatting of data undecided. Lost 2% (70% to 68%) btw 12:44am to 5:19am. No any other major issue. The ROM is stable, no lag, no any weird behavior or performance.
I missed the iOS features of Masik like the central placing of time in status bar, iOS notification sound. Let's how it goes.

Cc: Reddington
Lol.. grin I'm surprised that you expected customisations.. MIUIMIX is a spitting image of Xiaomi.eu nah... No fancy customization whatsoever... More like a debloated Miui..

But why the fvck am I seeing Chinese inscription on your Bluetooth? Resultant effect of unmodified vendor? Looks so out of place undecided

Thanks for your review tho..

Try MIUIMIX even if it is just for a day and then share your experience with us. I'm rocking Masik 15 on Raphael, the only con is the battery drain like 3%-5% in idle mode overnight which can be attributed to dirty flashing I'm doing bcoz I don't want to lose my data
MIUIMIX?? I'll think about it bro.. For now tho I'm thinking about the best way possible to rock the hell out of Xiaomi.eu Miui 12 stable .. Can't wait grin

He has a long way to go. A lot of developers don go solo because of rude indian users. The best roms these days Na the ones with less followers. grin
"He has a long way to go..." I'll take this as a joke bro..
Few years ago, I used to hop from one rom to another like some guys here when my loyalty was with Samsung... They had arguably the best rom support. I was a ROM freak and customisation maniac. It was crazy grin... Check my post from 2019
https://www.nairaland.com/3092803/xiaomi-thread/5582#80578853

These days tho, I go for smoothness, simplicity & stability. And believe me when I tell you that I know a whole lot about Indians and how virtually impossible it can be to please them.. Go to XDA, GSM arena, GadgetNtv, Telegram groups... They're everywhere always determined to find faults...Chronic faultfinders. They can drive a developer mad grin I simply ignore them... just few of them are rational. So if I tell you Xiaomi.eu has a far better review I know what I'm saying.. Fan base aside.

That said, this thread will be far more estimable if we start applying the simple act of respecting people's opinion/choice and quit making undermining comments abeg.

Of course, you opinion remains unchanged which is highly respected. I just gave my opinion on the two coz I've used them.

Now, ain't fan base, Xiaomi.eu is larger which I already stated in my response to Grand.Mufti. Plus, they started first so it is expected that their fan base will be huge. If we go by that, same can also be said about other ROMs. How many people here knows about Hellas MIUI, EasyROM, even RevOS? MIUIMIX is so new. Not up to 2 years.

Few people do compared to Xiaomi.eu.

I'm part of the few that used MIUIMIX and also used xiaomi.eu and based on my own experience, I can confirm that MIUIMIX is the cleanest and smoothest due to the unmodified vendor which aids battery life too as I already mentioned in my first post to you.

Also, shifting from ROMs, how many people know about Xiaomi or Redmi in Nigeria compared to Transsion? At least average phone users will always pick Transsion over the new entrant. Same logic applies to Xiaomi.eu and others.

Plus, I'm not even arguing that Xiaomi.eu is not their daddy. I'm just stating my observation from using both ROMs.

The only edge xiaomi.eu has over others is large fan base as stated in your post (undisputed) and large developer support. Other ROMs uses xiaomi.eu as a base for theirs with little changes. So this is expected. Xiaomi.eu is the AOSP of MIUI ROMS. It doesn't mean it's better given that you are yet to try others. If you do, we can continue the discussion.
Don't push me to try this ROM bro.. I refuse to be tempted grin
I read A LOT of user reviews before flashing ROMs and some reviews from people worldwide who've tested MIUIMIX are not exactly flattering.
But as you say, it's still a budding ROM that needs to be given some time. Until then tho, allow me to cruise in the cradle of Xiaomi.eu unrivaled smoothness grin
Thanks your understanding grin

MIUIMIX is based on xiaomi.eu and not EU ROM.

The lead developer uses Redmi 7 so I'm very sure. I've used both MIUIMIX and Xiaomi.eu ROM for said device and I can confirm what I posted up there. Even miglobe is based on Xiaomi.eu

And there's no MIUI ROM that I haven't tried. Including Masik.

The only ROMs not based on Xiaomi.eu are Miroom which is based on Chinese rom and EasyROM which is based on global stable ROM.
Lol.. How about this XDA page? Anyways, whatever base it is, my opinion remains unchanged. How many people even use MIUIMIX? grin Coz I'm yet to see on this thread. People hardly ever mention it here!.. I mean, compare the Telegram subscribers of both ROMs..That of Xiaomi.eu is almost four times the size of MIUIMIX, and that's not even the accurate figure as lots of users don't use Telegram. Xiaomi.eu is based on China ROM, while MIUIMIX is based on... well... Xiaomi.eu (as you say).. What does that tell you? Can you trace the hierarchy? Now tell me; who's the real boss? grin Who's your daddy? grin
Check xiaomi.eu web and you'll see why users worldwide unanimously agree that the rom is the cleanest...

PhonesRe: ### Xiaomi Thread For Tweaking Of Phones & Help Spot ### by Reddington(m):
olayinkajnr:
Actually, MIUIMIX which is also based on Xiaomi.eu is the cleanest ROM. Xiaomi.eu vendors are modified. MIUIMIX uses stock vendor which gives smoothest experience and good battery backup.
Actually MIUIMIX is based on EU rom, not Xiaomi.eu.. There's a difference. And while I haven't actually tested MIUIMIX, I've studied the features and user reviews & I can't imagine it cleaner/smoother than xiaomi.eu. I flashed this rom same day my phone arrived from Aliexpress, and it's been almost two years now and the thought of porting to something different haven't even occurred to me yet, because Xiaomi.eu is simply the best! cool

Hello xiaomi.eu fans, if you use RN7, stable Miui 12 just dropped... Finally! This should give RN5pro users a glimmer of hope. Whyred will likely be released in the next couple of days/weeks. I don't use weekly version of their roms, otherwise I would've been rocking Miui12 since last month. I prefer stable versions.

It is. I have compared both from 100%. Normal and Battery Saver. Battery Saver consumed more. But from 20% there were actual savings.
Wow.. I use RN5 pro and it's mostly on battery saver mode. Haven't really noticed the impact on battery performance compared to the normal mode, coz I haven't been paying attention, apparently. If your comparison/test result is accurate, then Xiaomi have some explanation to do. Thanks for the heads-up tho.

1. Remove your phone from Battery Saver, at this stage it is draining battery more
2. Disable WiFi and Bluetooth scanning, search for it from settings
3. Which MIUI Version were you expecting to come with your phone before?
