My friend just bought a Redmi Note 5 Pro and it has a weird problem.
When viewing an instagram or Whatsapp story,it automatically gets cut in both sides vertically.
Maybe it's because of the 18:9 ratio but I haven't found anyone else with the same phone having same problem.
The device has the latest 9.2.7.0 MIUI version.
What's the cure here?

Yes it's because of the 18:9 display. I have the same problem too...
Too bad the Instagram developers are lazy and mark their app as optimized, yet aren't at all!
It's the same problem for even flagship-level phones with non 16:9 displays (such as S9, G6, etc)
The only way to solve it is to pray to God that these devs realized their mistake and fixed the matter.
Though I insist you (or your friend) opting for Instagram Beta, as it should receive new features and fixes faster.

Well that's surprising. I thought since mainstream phones like S8,s9,pixel now use 18:9 ratio, instagram must've added support for it like they did for Iphone X within months of its release.
I also wonder if there are any unofficial workaround for it :/
Go into settings--->fullscreen display (I'm translating from polish so it may a bit different) and find Instagram and force it to work with 18:9 ratio. I had similar issue with Worms 4. After forcing it from that menu to work in 18:9 everything is alright

Even though I'd followed the video above, the Instagram toggle is greyed out, hence it's state can't be changed.

Yes it is greyed out for me too.
So I am in the process to unlock bootloader and flash the updated 9.5.6.0 version or the latest xiaomi.eu version.
That will most probably let me change Instagram toggle.

Can you confirm if particularly the instagram app toggle is changeable in your ROM version?

Hi everyone.
I am fairly new to ANdroid phones.
Recently I purchased the 9 SE and received yesterday. Absolutely love the form factor and feel as well as the HW but the Xiaomi SW is shocking.
The issues I have are:
1 - Waveup does not work (wile I understand there are inbuilt alternatives DTTW etc, I like using WaveUP)
2 - Unlock with bluetooth (will only work with Xiaomi devices)
3 - Notifications disappear
4 - No LED to nofify of incoming items
5 - Much Mi bloatware that cannot be removed
I am considering flashing XenonHD + Okita Kernel.
Can anyone advise if this will resolve any/all of my issues?
Thanks a million
Basically, yes. But there are other bugs in the aosp roms. Also we have no led light so nothing will fix that.
I would suggest xiaomi.eu 11 it's the fastest and most stable ROM without bloat right now
Either way you need to unlock the bootloader which can take time. I would start that now.

My main gripes are the bloatware and bluetooth at the moment.
Yeah, read about the LED and am a little surprised as this is a very useful feature.
Also the weird way notifications are handled are well, just weird....
While the handset is really nice and sleek the OS is not great at all

Stock Miui 10, I agree with you. All those issues are fixed by xiaomi.eu 11 beta
Bloat removed, notifications working well, generally closer to stock than Miui has ever been

I have updated to 11 stable but unfortunately it has not resolved my issue with smart unlock.
I have a Garmin Vivimove HR and no matter what I do, I cannot get the phone to allow the watch to unlock the phone.
Actually, the phone will not stay connected to the Garmin watch at all.
Very frustrating
Help with Bootloader unlocking and ROM selection
So finally getting round to unlocking Bootloader as I recently bought Sony WH-XB900N and cannot get the phone to make calls via the headset (apparently something to do with (selecting HFP or HSP for the profile - can't find it anywhere in teh settings) and, along with some of the other issues described in my original post, I've had enough of this ROM (MIUI 11.2.0) and Xiaomi believing they are entitled to control how I use a device that I own (Xiaomi are worse than Apple at this point)
Was about to do it earlier with the miflash_unlock tool and received the message "unlock will erase user data" which I didn't realise would happen.
I discontinued the operation.
Will unlocking the Bootloader on the Mi 9SE erase all my data? - If so can anyone advise the best way to proceed?
Also, is there a ROM that will address:
1. Unlock with bluetooth (will only work with Xiaomi devices)
2. Much Mi bloatware that cannot be removed
3. Allow calls from Sony WH-XB900N wireless headset
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I bought the Mi Airdots Pro 2 and I'm not getting the pop-up battery info.
Is there something I've missed or do I have to wait for another miui update? [I'm on global stable 11.0.4(PFBEUXM)]]
Same situation with my mi9se and airdots pro 2
Can someone confirm that animation is working for his airdots 2?
Pop up notification is available only on CHINA BASED ROM (china stable, china dev, xiaomi.eu)

I have a European mi9 rom and it worked until I updated to version 11.0.7. with the previous rom the animation worked every time I opened the case of the Mi air 2.

I went to official xiaomi store in russia and checked this earphones with every fcking device, even cheapest redmi, and animation works perfect. Except of Mi9SE.
WTF wrong with it?
So I think that it might be due to mi9se being one of the devices that got the update very early on and might lack this feature until it gets updated to Android 10 but that's just a guess.
Hi, with rom xiaomi.eu 11.0.2 (Android 10 stable) the animation still doesn't work.

Hi.
I have a Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro with global stock rom installed on it and 2 pairs of Mi AirDots Pro 2. The first pair i got showed me the pop-up on my phone while i was on Miui 11.0.1.0 but right after i updated to 11.0.4.0 the animation stopped working. Now i got a new pair of airdots pro 2 for my sister and i wanted to test if the pop up works with these but no, still nothing. However, i tested both pairs with my wife's Mi 9t on miui 11.0.5.0 and for some reason my airdots only pop up every once in a while but my sister's are popping up every time.
I noticed that the Mi 9T has a feature under the bluetooth settings called Connect to compatible devices but my K20 Pro doesn't have it which is weird and i was thinking maybe this is why no pop-up works on my phone. Does anyone have a k20 pro with global rom 11.0.5.0 that can confirm if that feature is being added back with that update?
Does anyone else have any experience similar to mine and found a solution?
Please let me know.

While I still can't get pop up to work, infrared works just fine on global, so that's probably MIUI.EU rom issue.
Redmi note 5 pro AI miui 12
Hi, I have a few questions about miui 12 RN5 pro AI
This is my only device, so I can't flash the xiaomi.eu and test it.
1. The android still version 9 Pie in miui 12, so does it come with privacy protection ?
2. Does it include the features Virtual ID in privacy protection ?
3. If xiaomi global / china already reach the final rom version and no support anymore, does that mean xiaomi.eu will stop updating the rom too ?
Tbh, I just want the privacy protection features, it looks awesome :good:
We can give access to app permission only while using the app, and disable them to use the permission in background is great.
I just want to give online banking to use permission all the time, and other application only while I am using it
Yes it does come with privacy protection
Yes Eu roms will be stopped after Xiaomi stop releases for whyred (as Eu builds are based on China stable/weekly

Yeah i have tried Los, but I wasn't impressed with it.
The privacy protection is much improved and implementation is also good.
I was fooled by this as I was using the rom and whenever i tried to register on Banking apps "No sim card card error was popping", after searching on xda i found that this privacy feature blocks imei and sim card acesss to ? apps and u have to manually change it.

Right now I am more focusing to privacy because I get hacked a few times before, well at least I learnt a lot after getting hacked :highfive:
Lineageos trust only can allow, deny and ask everytime
Meanwhile privacy protection in miui can allow, deny,ask everytime, or only use permission while in-app, that's huge + already.
Can't wait for the miui 12 on whyred global. I hate to changing rom again because it breaks a lot of my apps, most of them crashed, stopped after restored.
The worst is one of my banking apps can't backed up, and the bank is not available in my town, I need to use hard token and get it fixed when I travel again :crying:

Well this is gonna be a long story, but the most important thing is never use weak password.
1. Check at https://haveibeenpwned.com , see which one of ur email already got breached in the site, if u got breached, and use the same password for all account, u are dead :good: , that's why I am using password manager and generated unique long, strong, mix password for every account, if one of account breached, the rest will be fine. Bitwarden is the best to go :fingers-crossed: and I am gonna using keepass for now, just search a lot on internet which password manager u want and comparison, bitwarden and keepass just my own preference and experience :good:
2. When you search on the internet, what's the best antivirus for mobile, most people said android don't need antivirus, yeah that's true if you are using app from play store only :silly: , what if u are like me use modded whatsapp, instagram, etc ? First, download from trusted source only such as mobilism, and from truster user only, not some dude that signup today, and u use his mod apk, u are dead too :laugh: , and I don't said u should use antivirus either, but just use the default miui antivirus, at least it scan every apps after installing, then if u really want to use modded facebook, whatsapp, instagram like that, make sure to use 2FA on the account :highfive:
From here on out is the extra tips I suggest.
3. The reason I ask for privacy question here is to prevent some apps using my permission in background, and make sure every apps u installed got the permission it needed only, u don't want a flashlight apps request permission for contact,sms, gps, and u didn't read, and just press ok while installed, u dead once more again :angel:
4. If you really like to use custom rom, make sure to scan with virustotal on every zip u downloaded, u don't want any malware,keylogger attached, I realized many custom rom appeared and some tech wannabe in youtube just recommend this and that saying this rom is the best,etc. You never know if one of them got malware,keylogger,etc. The most suspicious one I have right now is mi globe, it offer a lot of customization based on user preference and based on xiaomi.eu but there's no much mention about it, and they don't allow comment on their site, and no community. It kinda make me curious, why such great rom don't have reviews ?
5. Check this https://www.privacytools.io for a lot of privacy protection, their site includes a lot of thing, adblock,etc, so bad guys don't store and sell your data. And of course more secure :fingers-crossed:

is whyred still in MIUI 12 BETA program?
2020-06-23, whyred is still on the MIUI-12-xda-release-list of devices that MIUI 12 is being tested for.
The next update, 2020-07-01 whyred disappeared from that list.
What am I missing here? Are those xiaomi.eu-ROMs only? Has anyone information regarding that? I would love to see MIUI 12 for this phone, miui has improved in every update and the new features look great. Somewhere was mentioned that the gfx will mostly be turned off for this device but the dropdown menu looks better than thatvon an iPhone

There's no official release about miui 12 yet for whyred, probably 1-3 months for global stable release.
And yes, they are probably from xiaomi.eu
Just check where you got the rom, as far I know there's many of them.
Revos, mi globe, mi room, xiaomi.eu, all of them got whyred miui 12
Device reached EOL status (no beta anymore), so they will continue to release only stable roms (every few months).
I'm not sure that there will be miui 13 for this device.

Unfortunately, I do not understand what you meant.
How can you be sure there will be an official update for whyred anyway ?
I interpret the disappearance of whyred from the beta/stable ROMs list that xiaomi just stopped to develop it any further. Why else would they stop testing it? There is a list of reported bugs but no releases that have fixed those.
There are 29 ROMs in development in the main MIUI12-beta/stable-thread and since 2020-06-23 nothing happened in regards to whyred. I know the rule is to not ask any questions about expected release dates but I just wanted to ask more basically:
what does EOL imply? will that be the last MIUI update for it? how reliable is your source regarding a MIUI12 release for whyred at all? I saw the list of devices that should get the MIUI12-update but they stopped to develop it for the Redmi Note 6 Pro, too, despite it being listed in the initial presentation. (reason was brick-rate was too high iirc)
The funniest thing about MIUI update is the option to "get updates sooner" (using native language-own translation). It has never worked and in case you are right in regards to further updates, it will never work.
How did one apply for beta testing of official Xiaomi ROMs ?
If my whyred-display continues to deteriorate I will need to buy a new phone anyway. One cannot read it in clear daylight if the sun burns as it does in Europe at the moment, bleeding from four or five point on the side gets worse and the ghosting with the display gets worse too.
I still like the phone as it served my well over the last two years and still can provide me with every tool I need (ok, the camera is a good point in favor of a new phone- was hoping for the POCO F2 zoom in case POCO can get their hands on the K30pro zoom ed. and rebrand it.)

EOL means End Of Life. Whyred was released back in February 2018 and it was supported till 20th of June of 2020 (I think it's Enough support).
Stable version will be available soon as it is first released for Chinese users then it is made globally.

Expect late 2020 or early 2021. I would recommend you go for custom ROMs.
