    MIUI 10 8.10.11

    Overall very satisfied with this ROM on my Mi Max 3. One minor bug I noticed - I like having a lock screen music notification but for some reason it's not showing up. I'm using Pulsar, not the MIUI music app, and I have set it up to allow lock screen notifications, but still no luck. I didn't...

    MIUI 10 8.10.11

    Very satisfied with this ROM. However, I note that the details state that this ROM is deodexed. Does this mean that it'd be possible to fully strip Google Services out of it and install the MicroG project instead? Also, I had some paid themes from my time on the China Dev ROM, and I was...

    MIUI 10 8.10.11

    I've got the 8.10.11 China Developer ROM installed on my Mi Max 3. Can I install the 8.10.11 Xiaomi.eu ROM without triggering the anti-rollback protection?

    I thought it had something to do with that, because when I kept my VPN on I had no issues with location. But again, like GPS, keeping VPN on all the time is wasteful for battery. If I was living outside China I'd definitely stick with the Xiaomi.eu ROM, though.

    It wasn't really GPS I had a problem with, it was getting location without GPS (i.e. using network location only), as I didn't want to have to keep GPS on to keep geolocation working (not to mention that it entirely didn't work indoors when GPS wasn't available). Network location failed...

    I had to go back to the official ROM. I don't know what the Xiaomi.eu team took out exactly, but whatever it was it made any app that required location unable to work correctly in China. I wish I could stay on the Xiaomi.eu ROM so I could keep using TWRP and XPosed, as well as having proper root...

    Found a big problem with this update for users in China. Apps that require location (weather, photo geotagging, etc) can no longer obtain location without the use of a VPN. I'm assuming these apps are now relying on Google to get location, since Google is blocked in China and can only be accesed...

    Where Can Buy The Mi Max

    I live in China so I bought mine at Xiaomi's official Mi Home store. ;)

    Updated. Google Now On Tap still not working (long press of home button still brings up Google Now, rather than On Tap). However, bug with the camera being unable to record video if the language is not set to English has been resolved. I can now record video even though my phone is set to...

    Does anyone have Now on Tap working with this week's release? If so, can you please share how you got it to work?

    D Don't flash GApps! You'll get a constant 'Unfortunately Setup Wizard has stopped' message that cannot be cleared and prevents you from using the phone!

    After uploading Google Now on Tap no longer works. It shows as being on in the Google Settings, but long pressing the home button just brings up regular Google Now. Any ideas?

    Why wouldn't you want to use Mi Cloud? It backs up your data automatically so if you have to reinstall the ROM for some reason you don't lose anything. Mi Message is also useful for communicating for free with other MIUI users.

    I just checked. It doesn't work for me either. I press the red button and nothing happens, not even a beep.

    Xiaomi Mi Max...!!!!!!!

    Yes, the battery life on this phone is excellent. Definitely one of the main reasons I bought it, and I'm pleased as punch that I did.

    Confusion With Mimax / Mimax Pro Naming

    I think it's just an unofficial name, because Xiaomi themselves don't use it. It's used to indicate the fact that the processor is different than the 32GB version. The 64 and 128GB versions both use the SD652, but the 32GB uses the SD650.

    The way I have it set up is to enable Google Now by short pressing the home button in Nova Settings and setting the long press home button setting in the MIUI settings app to Google Search. This way, once Google Now On Tap is set to enabled I get both Google Now (short press home from the home...

    Are you using the Xiaomi root, or SuperSU? I had the same problem when I rooted using Xiaomi's own root access, but with SuperSU root access is working properly.

    I just switched back to the Xiaomi.eu ROM after using the standard China Dev ROM for a long time. I really like it, especially the much better integration of Google Services into this ROM compared to the standard Chinese ROM. However, I have some questions. 1. If I flash weekly updates through...
