    MIUI 12.6 21.6.2

    Thank you so much for the detailed reply! It helps a lot! If these are the only limitations and there are workarounds, then I can deal with that :) If others have anything else to contribute or elaborate on, feel free to do so.

    MIUI 12.6 21.6.2

    Hi there, I would appreciate your quick explanation of the dual app issue, just to make sure I understand it correctly and decide on the best way forward. I have never needed dual apps before, but soon I am going to have to add a work mobile from a 2nd sim to my Mi9 Cepheus, and would need to...

    MIUI 12.6 21.4.21/22

    I still have L1 on my Mi9 ... but always kept to the same flashing procedure (probably I'm OCD!) - as I only update every 2 to 3 weeks. • Factory reset the phone, then clear internal storage • Flash the latest EEA fastboot rom (currently still 12.0.5.0 I think) with XIaomi's flash tool • Flash...

    Hi There, just to confirm if the clock issue relates to the Mi9 as well? And if so, if the ROM has been or still has to be uploaded? In other words, is the Mi9 version with MD5 (dc39adb761a45187a2747af08514bd42) ok to be flashed? Cool, thanks!

    You do realise that there are 2 development branches, right..? - Beta builds which are made available on a weekly basis, where all devices are on a same MIUI version, and always the latest point release (which currently is 12.6) - and has a new support thread for each week's release - Stable...

    Hi there.. where did you find 12.5 stable for cepheus or do you mean weekly? Another possibility is maybe just me getting blind..

    MIUI 12.5 21.1.13/14

    So my experience so far for my Mi9, coming from a clean fastboot flash and installing TWRP and the ROM brand spanking new: - Battery life is great. - Disabled the voice stuff and the google app... it really makes a big difference! Apps like Google Maps and Keep were extremely slow until the...

    Resolved 21.1.14 mi 9 friezes appeared.

    From your experience, how much of the google stuff can be safe to uninstall or freeze on the eu roms, so by default these bloated features of Google do not cause further troubles? I really only need Gmail, Maps, Keep and maybe Fit.

    MIUI 12.5 21.1.13/14

    I'm going to be brave and make the jump from A10 to A11 (currently on 20.12.2), as I have been checking the last few builds for major issues. So I'm thinking, I'll do the effort to flash back to complete stock like a fastboot ROM and then start the whole process from there. And then root just...

    MIUI 12.3 20.11.18

    Hi. As per my post for last week's ROM, my Mi9 seems to continue to have a problem syncing the birthday calendar label of my google / contacts. Only workaround is to install the google calendar, then magically the Mi Calendar app adds the birthdays labels. So far this week's rom has good...

    MIUI 12.3 20.11.11/12

    Thanks for letting me know, I will do a clean install when this week's rom is released and see if there is a difference. But I did do a proper clean flash for 20.11.11 anyway. Guess phones are now so smart, each have their own personality disorders :D

    MIUI 12.3 20.11.11/12

    Ok, so an update on my post below: 1. I tried installing another calendar (Google Calendar) to see if the sync works properly. And it did. 2. Strangely, after installing the Google Calendar, now the Mi Calendar also shows the Birthdays. So there has to be a sync issue with the Mi Calendar app...

    MIUI 12.3 20.11.11/12

    Hi all - this version works great on my Mi 9, rooted for the purpose of Ad Blocking and it also works great with the latest Magisk (banking apps are fine!) There are only some issues like improper application of dark mode on Swiftkey etc. (not all buttons contrast correctly) - but that Xiaomi...

    MIUI 12.2 20.10.15/16

    Hallo, I successfully flashed the EU Rom for the first time (high five to self), coming from V12.0.2.0.QFAEUXM. Now I have a couple of aesthetic questions: Mi Weather - How to disable automatically adding the current location region? I only would like to have the regions manually selected. Is...
