    Google Maps Direction Beam Problem

    There is no fix currently -- it's been reported many times in all of the MIUI14 build threads. Use another map app such as Here Maps, Waze etc, or use the built in Xiaomi Compass app for direction relative to your location in Google Maps.

    Couldn't Unlock Bootloader on Xiaomi 13

    It is not. Go back a number of years and the wait was 30 days (Redmi Note 5 Pro Global). The unlocking app will tell you how many more hours you have to wait when you try to unlock it. It varies device to device. For example the Poco F3 was 7 days (168 hours).

    MIUI 14 23.3.7

    Your font size, icon size and layout make it a lot bigger than it needs to be. Even with full screen gestures on (and indicator hidden), my gap doesn't seem as big yours because most stuff ends up with similar spacing. By the same token you could say the gap at the top row of icons to the status...

    For some reason he wants anyone near by to be able to see his message previews all of the time without touching the phone when it's just sitting on the table. Meanwhile privacy conscious users don't even want to show message previews on the lock screen if someone touches their phone...

    MIUI 13 MIUI 13 STABLE RELEASE

    Well it's more that you bought a device with too little internal storage. If it does support A/B that'd be a big reason why you have so little free space left on the device out of the box/even with a clean flash. Generally I'd recommend 128GB as a minimum these days due to the system taking up...

    I'm not 100% but I don't believe that device actually uses Treble (A/B) properly. I think you can install Treble Checker from Google Play to check that. By default MIUI will keep updating on the currently selected slot, so usually A. Switching slots will probably just result in bootloops as the...

    Only removing apps installed on the data partition will save you space. Using root access to remove system apps won't gain you anything because the system partition size is fixed, and you won't be able to use that space for anything else easily. There are other roms available for that device...

    The rom is compressed when you download the zip. I'm guessing you didn't look at any unboxing videos showing how much the factory MIUI used out of the box.

    Check if memory extension is turned on. Turning that off will free a few GB, and if you haven't deleted the file you used to flash it (if you used TWRP to do it) then do that too. I'm pretty sure you have a micro SD slot on that phone for storage expansion as well.

    If you're looking for the image from the .EU rom, pull it from the zip file on sourceforge in the OP. If you're looking for Xiaomi originals, try: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/

    MIUI 14 23.3.7

    Try disabling screen time in the settings menu (I personally don't need to know how long I've spent looking at each app every day). I found that helped a little on the F3s. I've also disabled AOD and 120hz refresh to try to squeeze as much as possible out of these last few builds without...

    Yes you're in the wrong thread, but I'll answer you anyway. This is what is there on the current dev build for Alioth (Poco F3) for comparison. Just look at the screenshots below. Relevant areas are highlighted in red. The normal android widgets are still there too -- just kinda buried.

    MIUI 14 23.3.7

    If you clear google services app data it'll work for a few hours then stop working after a reboot or an arbitrary amount of time. If you clear maps data before launching maps, it will work once, then the next time it will ask to calibrate, and at least in my, case won't calibrate. So I've just...

    MIUI 14 23.3.7

    Mine isn't any slower than the previous build after using it for a while, and comparing the Antutu benchmark, but battery life is still pretty terrible. I haven't used it long enough yet to know if its exactly the same as the last build, or if its worse. Compass issue still exists in Maps, but...

    Probably just a bug and a missed translation. If the phone is working fine otherwise, then you're fine.

    You could have probably flashed it directly from eu 14 without even bothering to downgrade first. I never had a problem going back to stock on my older Xiaomi devices, but I haven't had to in a while. There have been a few threads asking about how to return to stock recently. You should try the...

    Just because the latest stable was released after the EOL weekly doesn't necessarily mean it is newer and safe to dirty flash to. You'll probably want to reflash that EOL weekly and see if you can get it to boot, then backup your important data to try wiping \data\. If it still won't boot...
