Thanks for sharing. Must it be orangefox(why not twrp)? Also can I restore my restore my system app(the note app particularly) after porting to the ROM. Thanks.
The instructions insisted on the use of Orangefox recovery. It is actually easy to flash. Just download from the link I provided and flash from your present custom recovery.

Provided you've set the Notes app to sync with Mi Cloud, you will get all your notes back on your latest rom install after setup. All you need to do is sync with Mi Cloud.

Data of other apps like Messaging, Contacts, Phone records etc. can also be synced. Avoid syncing Gallery though, unless data subscription is no issue.

i will give it a trial, but am on MIUI 11 Stable rom, what's the difference?
The rom is pre-rooted. It has the latest security patch and Cam2API enabled by default.
Battery life has also improved tremendously. There is system wide dark mode, Ultra Battery saver and one or two additional features missing on the official stable update released for the phone.

Are you a Redmi Note 4 user? And you wish to give your device a breath of fresh air.
I just recently stumbled on a MiUi 11 based pie rom that I have been using for a couple of days.

Download the rom from the following link: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261625952

Use OrangeFox recovery. You can get that from this link: https://files.orangefox.website/OrangeFox-Stable/mido/OrangeFox-R10.0-Stable-mido.zip

Instructions to flash:

1. Boot into Custom recovery (OrangeFox)

2. Swipe and accept modification to system

3. Find your way to "Wipe" section and wipe System/Vendor/Cache/Dalvick/Data partitions
(Warning!!! Don't wipe your Internal storage)

4. Find your way to "File" section and select rom package and swipe to install.

5. Wipe cache and reboot.

Reboot might take a few minutes.

Bug:
Potrait in stock cam is not working.(GCAM can substitute for this)

Thanks
In other words, the global rom, fixes all these concerns?
Just to be sure you got what miss Fibo meant, you will need to get the Global version of the phone to enjoy specific features missing on the Chinese version.

Installing Global rom will NOT rectify the hardware features missing on the Chinese version.

The distinction between the two versions is officially from Xiaomi.

Any suggestions to fix this plz??
There is probably no content update on the present page. I use the same browser now and the refresh feature works well. Infact, you can make one of the navigation buttons below to serve the purpose of refreshing when you long press it. To do this, find your way to Settings - General - Gestures; from there you should see options for each button.
There is also the pull to refresh option.

Beautiful. I just got the Redmi 8a. My first Xiaomi device and I must say, it's the best choice I could've made at this price point. Everyday's a new surprise with this thing. Fingerprint was a very small insignificant price to pay. Miui sexy dieeee.

This update thing. How do I know when/if it's safe to download?
Update at your discretion. No need to rush and there is no reason to be afraid on the other hand too.

If you update and you notice bug(s), do a factory reset or re-download the full rom and flash.

call it porn... Go to second space settings and go to move items
You don't need to create second space to hide porn. There is a private folder feature in both the file manager and notes app.

Open both apps and do a drag down motion. You should see a pattern/fingerprint UI come up.
You will be prompted to set up the password/fingerprint for the folders if you haven't before.

Long story short..
I am not talking about price or whatsoever.
I am talking about my mi9t n the camera ain't dope as you portray it to be.
The gcam is for mi9t,the stock is better than d gcam.
Short story long...
You're expecting too much from the camera then if you're saying pricing should not be added to the equation.
I am not potraying anything about the camera because I don't use one.
I am judging based on expert opinion from seasoned reviewers on the net.
At the emboldened, taking a cue from your earlier submissions, I doubt you know what a well taken picture looks like.
My advice to you is to read on mobile photography and play around with the camera on your phone(not just gcam alone, use the stock too).

Lmao .. Xiaomi camera is not as good as you portray it to be jare. I have used Samsung, Huawei, Sony, they are miles better than Xiaomi. We all know Xiaomi is a good phone cos it's cheap with good specs but camera wise, it's average cos they don't do well for me. My cousin gat redmi note 7and I have mi9t. I am not a camera freak but the few shot taken from my mi9t ain't that dope abeg. I used d gcam, it was worse.
You keep reiterating you used "the gcam" undecided na one version GCAM get? Is it the version specifically modified for your model?

And why exactly have you been dodging the price point question?

How many phones at the price point of the Mi9T have a better camera?

Like someone stated earlier, you might be the one lacking in photography skills. And there is also the issue of you not being a camera freak. I doubt the pictures from a DSLR will even freak you if you see one grin

After viewing countless number of video reviews and reeading written reviews on the net, I don't need to be told the Mi9T has a wonderful camera for its price.

Use the drug you were given for a while and observe changes. Incase you've been using the drug and there isn't any improvement yet, visit a state specialist hospital closest to you. They should direct you to run some tests or if it's anything serious, a visit to the dermatologist might be recommended.

I doubt this phone runs MiUi. Any device running MiUi have those features by default.
Go to Settings and post a screenshot of the "About phone" or "My device" depending on the label.

Download and install telegram if you don't have it. Search for rn4x Miui 10 port, join the channel and you will see a host of roms to choose from. Check and download the latest Miui.eu10 version 9.8.29 for oreo or pie.

which device? I only tested it on rn4x. There is a rom port Miui 10 for both oreo and pie. You can also use gcam on it unlike Miui 10 on rn4x where gcam does not work. The only bug I noticed was mi cloud force closing but was rectified on the next update.
Na RN4X. I will appreciate a link to the exact update you installed that doesn't have any bug. Thanks in advance.

Good initiative. However, a telegram group would have been a better choice considering the limitation of Whatsapp in terms of maximum members allowed per group.

I have Reboot several times but still the same.

If I install updated rom will I loss all my file or present settings? I'm using a global rom with bootloader unlocked
To be on the safe side, backup important apps and move your media files to external storage.

Thanks bro. But I don't think that's the issue. The phone is not in mute
Reboot your device then. You can also do hardware test to check if it is not hardware problem.
A factory reset or reflashing your present rom might also help.

Why am I having this in my RN7? My phone can't ring out when I receive calls
You've put the phone in silent mode. Draw down the notification panel and unmute from there.
The dark mode is seriously clashing with many UI elements. The silent dialog below the volume level should normally be grayed out too to indicate your phone is in silent mode, but thanks to dark mode you wouldn't see that.

True but mtn is also a data demon! This glo band 28 has transformed my life ehn, now mtn is just for backup. Using mtn as main data source is a risk factor for suicidal ideation
You will have to explain what you meant by "MTN is also a data demon" cos I don't understand.
Glo is a fantastic choice when it comes to allocated volume to price, but how good is their signal all over Nigeria? undecided
What's the joy in having large volume of data and being unable to use it?
I stick to MTN because they have been the most consistent not just on Internet connectivity alone but also on all services.
However, I use other ISP when the need arise. A good example is 9mobile; their internet connectivity works exceptionally well abeit very expensive.
