Im thinking of getting the redmi note 11, what are your thoughts?

The Poco F3 is also nice but its just too big in my opinion.

I would like to know too. According to the specs, is the redmi note 10 pro a better deal?

Hi

I just need some help regarding my miui rom, I just received my new Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G. It came with miui 12 and I updated it to miui 13, please see the picture below.
I only noticed that this is the EU stable bata rom after I updated it as seen in this image below.

I want to load the Global Stable Rom(V12.5.7.0 RKTMIXM) on this phone

but this phone already has miui 13 and the Global Rom is miui 12.

What's the easiest way to get the Global Rom on this phone?

Anyone have a preferred importing site for Xiaomi? I used to use AliExpress, however they're charging R4500 for shipping (almost more than the phone) to get it here.

Giztop for China Rom phones. Amazon has a lot of different Global Rom Xiaomi phones now.

I used the bug report feature on my Redmi 9 (notifications issue) a while ago, I also had to send logs. Now I get a pop up every time I reboot the phone. How do I get rid of it permanently? Phone is not rooted.

Whose Redmi 9A/9C devices have been filling themselves up with useless crud, leaving you to do a factory reset and recover from backup?

I haven't done a reset yet, but I found a few gigs worth of logs - allied to my problem in my post above yours - and trashed them yesterday. I'm just waiting for my phone to be unlocked (7 days waiti.......) then I'll try a custom rom.

You might want to try this app to look for errant files/folders that you can bin:

I recovered 2GB by deleting all files in Custom and Other Files using the Storage Space app:

I can't seem to find the link now but try this

Turn on "Permit usage access"

Has anybody ever downloaded the app called MIUI Updater off the Google Play Store to update their Xiaomi phones. I downloaded and installed the app and it immediately indicated my version of Android and MIUI and said that there is an Global Android 13 update available. Unfortunately my phone is running the "Vodacom" version 12.5.4.

Have you got a clock widget on your homescreen?

Note 8 went into a boot loop out of the blue this morning.
Got it to Fastboot mode, removed a few apps & working again.
First time having issues in probably 2 years of use.
Thought I'll try another firmware, what you guys been using on your Note 8

Android 12 has been buggy in general. I have tried Pixel Experience, Pixel OS, Evolution and have returned to Arrow OS currently which seems to be lighter than other builds so far (supposedly the rom known for battery life preservation). If going android 11 most builds are stable I think the last one I was happy with was Evolution X for the customisable nature. Note: I do prefer ASOP roms with native GAPPS, hence the mostly google/stock recommendations. Used memeUI for a few days and figured not for me. These ROMS do work with banking apps and have DRM support as long as you don't root (for those wondering). Want to give crDroid a try after years but maybe later.

There are some android 13 builds out but imo some things are missing/not worth it to migrate over just yet from what I've tried.

Besides XDA, I look at this telegram channel for ROM updates/news

Have you got a clock widget on your homescreen?

Had one once, but removed it. About three weeks ago IIRC

Edit - if I default back to the default launcher, clock and notification area displays

If I switch to Nova launcher, they disappear.

Will fiddle around with Nova settings and see if I can find the bugger.

 

[The_Librarian]

Current Nova settings saved, then resetted to defaults (clean Nova install).

Hey, what do you know? The issue is gone.

Either a corrupt setting, or something invisible landed where it shouldn't.

Cool, thanks!
