Hello again
After unlocking the bootloader (with some issues and unlocking application workarounds needed) and installing xiaomi eu Hyperos 2 I'm sad to say I had to switch back to stock HyperOS 1 ROM on my Xiaomi 12 Cupid.
Battery drain was insane. I tried everything, factory resets, battery management tweaks, debloating, turning off advanced textures, reducing background processes etc. I work till 3 PM, without heavy usage (even little usage only), I don't play games at all, I have only few apps installed like banking, whatsapp, outlook etc. (I have 45 apps in total in my app drawer, including system apps) and still, my battery was almos dead just after work every day. The phone itself constantly warm, cold only after locking and putting on the desk for a few minutes then immedietaly warm after a minute of any usage. There was not a day when the phone lasted until like 5-6 PM within a 2 weeks period. The situation was a little better with HyperOS 1 xiaomi eu version, but not much really.
Sudden Gpay payment problems disqualifies the xiaomi eu ROM definitely. Despite regular fixes, there were at least three times, when I had to use cash or my previous phone (which I was always carrying as a backup for these situations I unfotunately expected). The need of manually installing gpay fix package makes this process unreliable, even if fixes are issued regularly.
I really miss these cool features xiaomi eu ROM provides like advanced textures, more customization, full support of phone link to Windows, newest system updates, tweaks etc. but after all, I value battery time and reliability most.
I reverted to HyperOS 1 Indo (just for Mi Dialer and contacts) and I have 30 % battery left till nigth. Gpay works well, just needed to lock the bootloader. The phone does not get even half that hot as on xiaomi eu ROM, remains cold most of the time.
Maybe Xiaomi 12 is just too old and can't handle Hyperos 2 and even for HyperOS 1 with features unlocked by xiaomi eu. I might consider buying a Xiaomi 15 later and then I will try xiaomi eu ROM again. But surely, it was fun to play again with android ROMs, tweaks and customization after switching from an iPhone after years, even if it ended up like always - returning to stock
