Just installed EU.ROM 1.0.8.0.UKOCNXM on my new lisa (since I gave up on hoping for HOS.EU for renoir). Everything works so far, brilliant. Thank you for all Your hard work and expertise! I even got the Saturn-Super-Background to work after beeing stuck with it not working, when installing it...

Hi, I think, some of us are also interested in this rumor. Most of us are on the same Dev. Beta 14.0.23.4.17 for far too long but are not willing to give up hope for the still beautiful and slim Renoir. What has been the source of your information? Is it maybe out somewhere without me noticing...

Try twrp-install your / a previous version to return to your last system. Then do a backup. Then twrp-format data and twrp-install latest version. Then setup your fresh system. Why you could not dirty flash while others can, I do not know.

1) is solved, I noticed. 2) remains mysterious, is it still missing sometimes? 3) The answer is no. Does it bother you though?

No Problem. The site twrrp.me is off course the place to go as source for recovery ;o) Is the mi8 encrypted right away or did you probably try it via twrp, maybe?

Thank you for the many ways. The methods of installing twrp is not my point. I will manage that. But the "test" encryption done by it. If the system later struggles with it, that would be a potential loss, I guess? So who has his mi mix 2S installation encrypted and how safely, that is my question.

Thanks! Ah, that explains why you are guessing. Tell me one thing: if I test the encryption on twrp and it did NOT work, my data-partition will be lost also. Right? Maybe someone go first, who still owns it. :)

Thank you for explaining. That sounds reasonable. I would like to hear from someone first hand though what works and what not. My setup takes some time and I do not want to ruin it for nice to have encryption that does not work in the end.

So you Format Data and what else is left to do after installing eu.rom and Magisk? How can I activate the encryption, so that it sticks? Who has done it and succeeded and if so how? Thank you for sharing.

brilliant question. There seem to be some software-versions out for recent models. EU-Roms are ported versions of those codes.

Usually Yes, as long as it is 12 and 12.

Anyone? Please help. Even if it means formatting, could somebode veryfy the validity of the quoted procedure? Thank you.

Can you specify, what lag on what occasions you are referring to? I am not experiencing lag at all. It helps if you deactivate Super-Wallpaper (Mars/Earth) and speed animations up maybe (dev.options, speeds to x0.5).

Yes and Yes. Just dirtyflash, restart system once (takes a bit longer), then restart into recovery and flash Magisk again. This is standard procedure, if you stay in the same MIU.EU-Version number (i. e. 12) - if not noted otherwise.

+1 for your points 1 and 3 on a MiMix2S (polaris) (So sad, that it will be abandoned in September already. OIS and Notchless with SDM845 is still unmatched on a Xiaomi device. The only thing missing for me is an oled screen and two days power / 10h+ Screen time). Auto brightness is 50% too...
