Nope, I'm on the EU firmwares, weekly builds. I don't like the global stable/official firmwares. Too bloated with unnecessary apps.

I'm still not used to full screen gestures or navigation bar, I'm still relying on the buttons. Yes no touch lag on PUBG or MoBA

Well is a sort of a hate and love relationship. Either you like using or hate using the gesture. But generally is being accepted by many people and everyone is actually praising Android for this gesture function. Because of the bezel-less screen, the hardkeys are slowly becoming obsolete in the future.

But I doubt Android would remove on screen buttons. Because there will be people who still use it,

Yes, first thing is to quickly apply for the unlock authorization. Or if you have an account associated with a number which previously had unlocked bootloader, just sign into it, no need to wait for 72 hours.

Awesome, going to update it now, hopefully no battery drain. This weekly build still have some bugs, the themes some of them are not working well, some disoriented, some modified your whatsapp colour, and one was even worse, can't do scroll screenshot as the button is bugged out by translucent background, very hard for your eyes to notice it. In the end, back to stock MIUI POCO theme. But I'm kinda eager to test out Android Pie material design.

EDIT: Uc Browser still no luck, I'm guessing this is Xiaomi firmware fault not the EU fault. Unfortunately, I wouldn't want to risk relocking the phone just to be on official weekly builds. Screw it.


Apparently is a new cleaner incorporated by MIUI, because prolong use of FB causes data to build up in the app, sort of like clear data or cache options, except is clears up all the images,gif, or whatever not without you need to relog in to fb again.

How is franco kernel?? Ok? I tried out Sphinx Kernel, ended up with no WiFi, laggy graphics on Mobile Legend, and lower Antutu scores, and that wasn't even meddling with any of the settings yet. Regretted and straight away reflashed back stock kernel. Which I find still is suitable for daily driver.

Strange, when I bought my Pocophone on first day, I didn't have to wait at all. But I was previously using Redmi Note 4 unlocked account to log on to Pocophone.

You should, very straightforward and no ads or what so ever like Clean Master. and the newest version has Whatsapp cleaner & Facebook cleaner. Very innovative. I don't think most mobile OS incorporate such apps into their system, usually you got to rely on 3rd party apps and is full of ads and junks.

Recently Clean Master was reported worldwide filled with adwares and malwares.

unlock phone and test it out with custom ROM. That's the only way to go. This is also one of the advantages of this phone, shorter unlock waiting time and no Anti Roll-Back protection.

You don't have to root, but of course rooting provides even more customizing options.

Back to EU weekly 8.11.23, the latest one is causing intermittent WiFi lag, my lag is spiking non stop when playing Mobile Legend.

Roll back to .23 at first, but the Mi Cloud backup crashed. So I got frustated, backup all my files and apps manually and reflashed .29 again, no more spike lags while gaming, connection all back to normal, Mi Cloud back as per normal.

Method, clean flash, wipe data,cache and dalvik.

Lesson learnt, always do clean flash when upgrading version. Better results and more safer.

Guys any idea how to add more apps under the homescreen dock/ favourites tray? Just now somehow managed to squeeze in 6, all of a sudden is fixed at 5 when I was trying to rearrange.

I see..will try out different launchers then. But previously I was still on stock, Poco launcher.

Xiaomi MIUI is seriously fun, the more you use, the more bugs you will discover.

I'm contemplating into flashing other custom roms like LineageOS. But their Pie based firmware is not stable yet still a number of bugs present.

thanks.

Yes. You should, quick charge 3.0 is going to help you a lot since you game alot, a typical 1 hour charge can last you up to 5hours or more of non-stop gaming. I've tried from 100% to 20% with Moba, for at least 5hours without stop.

If you don't mind the notch issue, just stay on global stable roms. But if you intend for more customizing please go for the weekly builds, which addresses a lot of the multi-touch,ghosting, notch and stuffs.

But no matter what it is, flashing rom opens more customizing possibilities depending on your usage.

I did, but it wasn't really a tempered glass, well I can't complain since the price for it was less than RM10. and no, I don't think it will affect the camera picture quality.



By the way, any good recommendations for a microSD card for this 12.12 sales??? Worried getting fake sdcards which does not perform, am looking at 64gb sizes.

Yes I saw this as well.. Quite good pricing. Was wondering if the write speed is good enough for storage. Was actually planning to get a Samsung evos, but that would set me back at rm45++

Thanks...will further check on the both platforms. Don't wanna regret over after buying a piece of card where I can move my apps peacefully.

Cool, but the prices almost the same as Samsung EVOs range...I'll probably opt for samsung ones.

Guys, if you want to update ASAP, I suggest you to unlock the bootloader and start using TWRP for flashing or the stock MiFlash,MiTool.

There's a lot of guides over at the official Miui forums on how to flash to the current latest roms.

and yes, there are hiccups over the new rom, but bear in mind this is still a recently launched product, which I think will need sometime to iron out all the issues.

As for me, I'm running on the latest 8.12.7 EU rom, so far so good, there is the 960fps slow-mo, night mode, but I'm not a camera guy lately, so wouldn't dare to comment about the photo quality wise.

So far so good, no issue under this rom. Except for the Wechat Pay thingy, still can't use the top up function.

your rom version??
