Latest & Greatest, Multilang Dev MIUI v7 ROM - v5.10.16 by Xiaomi.eu [With GApps!]
Edited October 16th: New ROM is out today.... http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-15-16.28809/
For those wondering what the difference between ROM options for XRN2 (Hermes):
Chinese Developer: Only Chinese and English, no PlayStore, Official, Chinese Servers Download
Global Developer: Multilanguage, PlayStore, Official, only for some devices, Chinese Servers Download
Xiaomi.eu: Multilanguage, PlayStore, Based on Official ROM, European Servers Download (but also American)
Edited October 9: New Rom v5.10.8 is out: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-8.28692/
I have also just discovered that since Sept 20th, some cool software called WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.5 now supports the Redmi Note 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499926
WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit takes many ADB and Fastboot commands and puts them into an easy to use toolkit that supports a ton of Android devices. It's goal is to simplify the process of unlocking a device's bootloader, flashing a custom recovery and gaining root for the newbies of the Android world.
This should make it easier for those not so familiar with Android!
Edited 25th Sept: The latest weekly just dropped v5.9.24 which you can get from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347822062
ROM thread: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-9-24.28459/
For the new contestants to the show, this is the best ROM available for this device because it has no Chinese language at all, no bloatware apps and should have Google Apps baked in.
It is a chinese holiday for the whole first week of October so there won't be another ROM for a couple of weeks.
My updater app doesn't show any new versions, because it is unofficial I guess and doesn't work with the updater app.
I am still on v5.9.9 so I guess I will be wiping cache and dalvik cache and trying to do a "dirty flash" and crossing my fingers that it doesn't wipe my data.
Edited 19th Sept: There is now a new version v5.9.18 available here, thanks to the xiaomi.eu forum: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347818342
This fixes a critical bug in v5.9.17. However, one user on the xiaomi.eu forum has reported a wifi issue with v5.9.18, however this version is so new, and one user is not a big sample size.
http://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
However, I am not 100% sure that this isn't just the China DEV ROM. I am also unsure if this one has Google Apps baked in or you have to add it afterwards via TWRP.
I am still running 5.9.9 which is working great 99% of the time for me, however and I have a bug in which many programs that stream live video, after the video starts, 20 seconds into the steam the audio stops but the video keeps going. Can someone who installs the latest v5.9.18 please test and see if they have a problem with Livestation app, Al-Jazeera app, or NHK world app. Thanks!
This is the changelog for v5.9.17 which is the latest I could find. It is for the China ROM not multilanguage but I assume the bug fixes are the same.

10th September - v5.9.9
OK Boys and girls, if you have this device, have TWRP installed, then backup all your data and install this new ROM, it is awesome.
When I first got my device, it was chinese keyboard, no Google Apps and even after updating to MIUI v7, I still had issues with contacts not syncing.
I downloaded and installed this ROM which just came out today or yesterday: (I uploaded the file, hosted in my google drive as it disappeared from Android File Host): http://gdurl.com/Ww2J/download
I went into TWRP, wiped data, cache and dalvik cache to start from scratch.
After rebooting, I find this multi-language ROM is great, no chinese keyboard and it asked me for my google account details. The contact that would not sync to my phone is in there straight away.
Under settings -> Accounts -> All -> Google -> Contacts is slow to sync and most of the time just says "syncing now" but I did see it also say it was successful, "last sync 9/10/2015"
There is no Chinese bloatware at all, no chinese ANYWHERE which is good because on the China Dev ROM from last week, the Theme store was all chinese. Now my theme store is in English
Because I am signed up to a Mi Account, it actually restored an SMS I had just sent before I wiped my device, also very nice. Unfortunately still no easy backup for Whatsapp and Viber I assume.
Incidentally, even with an X10 processor and wifi, telling your phone to install 76 apps at the same time still takes a while.....
Again, incidentally, it tells you when you install Aptoide that it contains a virus and even gives it a name, something.expense.aptoide which is probably the payment gateway but anyway, in the older China Dev ROM, this didn't happen, and but it would see Aptoide as a security threat when you did a manual scan of your device, with a "fix" button that doesn't actually tell you what it is fixing so I had to install Aptoide again after I pressed it. Anyway, now I actually like this feature, I mean besides Aptoide, if I install something that might have a virus, MIUI will warn me before I even install it, nice.
Has it improved battery life at all?
What makes you think I can tell if battery life has improved on a ROM I installed 15 minutes ago?
Thanks for this , could you please post a link to the TWRP you used ( and if possible instructions to install it ) ? I'm sure this can be found online but I'd rather have one that worked and which I know is in English.

Sup guys,
So if I understand it correctly the stable version for Redmi Note 2 is MIUI 6.7.5. and if you're prepared to go a bit more beta MIUI 7.9.10/11 is also an option, right?
If I would install the multi-version from Xiaomi.eu (7.9.10) would I be able to install updates from the ROM itself, like OTA? Or do I need do manually download and use recovery every time?

The correct stable version is MIUI 6, which came on the device. The beta is MIUI 7, chinese edition, on the official site. The version number for these start with v5.x.x
This thread is regards to the un-official multi-language ROMs which are floating around now. This one is v5.9.9. There is a v5.9.11 around, however the changelog just says something about supporting a tiny change to xiaomi headphones.
I just used updater to check and it said no new updates, it just says I am running v5.9.9, and that it is a weekly development cycle. I think since the updater fully recognizes this is a MIUI ROM, the OTA would work, however I am fearful the OTA might switch it back to Chinese, so I intend to stay on this ROM until they release an official Multi-language version. I don't know if TWRP did anything to prevent OTA, however I made sure that I didn't modify the setting when TWRP was telling me that it could affect OTA updates if i enable a certain setting.
It is confusing because the file name is telling you it is running ON Android 5.0, using v7 of MIUI, and the codename of the device is Hermes, and the ROM version is 5.9.9
....
I'm going to flash this beta ROM because I want to have MIUI V7 so my question is whether this beta ROM is stable enough since the phone is going to be a present and I don't want it crashing all over the place.
Thanks.
So as you know our S5 mini isnt loved by devs and no custom roms are available for it
so how about we mod the stock rom by our selfs !!!
@xXx made a script for his Galaxy S5 that will clean your rom the way you like it and fortunately its working on the S5 mini as well
so i will copy his thread nothing more i asked him to do so and he said its ok
so lets get started
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner
Features & Benefits
Free Rom choice:*Choose any Samsung Touchwiz Lollipop Rom and cleans it down to a core level. This way you can choose a Rom which fits your personal liking and requirements and clean it down to your comfort level.Reduced to the Max:*Reduce Rom A full blown Samsung Rom comes with about 300 apps which can be brought down to about 75 core appsFaster Rom:*After a full clean you will have about 1.1 GB free RAM available which is about 300-400 MB more compared to a full blown Samsung Rom. This increase the performance.Individual Cleaning Definitions:*The BareBone Cleaner provides you with plenty of options to customize the cleaning process and make sure you prevent apps you want to keep from cleaning.Compatible:*Several user feedbacks confirm that the BareBone Cleaner works with odexed and deodexed as well as Samsung based Lollipop and KitKat roms on all kind of S5 variants.Saved Profilesnes you have defined your individual profile it will be saved as an editable text file on your SDcard (URWsoft folder) and next time you flash a Rom you can run this profile with the exact same settings with no additional effort.You will have predefined profiles for one click cleaning available. One save Default Profile and an Extrem BareBone Cleaning Profile.You can reset your profile to default setting anytime and start to define a new profile.You have a Bypass option available which will keep you defined profile and just present you with a complete unselected profile. This will help you to just select one or more apps for addition cleaning or select one of the Install optionsMulti Window Operation:*On the first customization window you can select which further menus you want to enable. Only these windows will be presented.Alternative Apps and Tweaks:*You might want to get rid of the S5 stock keyboard, or the TouchWiz Launcher. As an alternative you can select the S6 keyboard or Nova Launcher etc. from the Install Apps menu and be able to remove the stock apps without being left with an unusable rom.Rom Specifics Menu:*Most of the rom chefs implement different kind of apps to their roms which are additional to the Samsung standard Rom content. In order to give you the opportunity to get rid of specific unwanted apps which I started this new section. This will grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options.Users Selection Menu:*Some users requested me to clean even more content which I either didn’t test sufficiently yet or might remove rom functionality which is required for a seamless rom operation. These requests can be found in the Users Menu. If you tested these selections please let us know your experience is with it. If everything works fine for daily use these cleanings could be easily shifted into the standard cleaning options.Additional Features:*The BareBone Cleaner will further grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options. The profiles will help already to combine a feature rich utility with ease of use and fast track profile executions.
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner Project
I’m not a developer but I’m flashing ROMs since quite some years and today I’m experienced enough for this project.
The BareBone Cleaner is an Aroma Installer based tool which will debloat your TouchWiz Lollipop rom up to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So get rid of all the Samsung crap, bloatware, the annoying “check cover” warning or other apps which you could easily add again to your personal liking from the Google Playstore.
I’m sure many of you was looking for this kind of solution in order to choose any rom fitting your personal liking.
Background of this Project
The original kick-off for this project was a longer temporary absence of*Edgarf28*who provides us with his awesome*XtreStoLite*rom. I used his rom since the very first day on my S5 and even I tried tons of other roms, for some reasons I always returned to XtreStoLite.
Therefore I started to develop the BareBone Cleaner to be able to choose any TouchWiz Lollipop rom and clean it down to the same level as Edgar is doing with his rom. Short after I decided to share my BareBone Cleaner in this thread Edgar returned and provided an updated rom version.
As I enjoy this project and got several motivating feedbacks from users who would like to clean the rom of their choice, I decided to continue the development of my BareBone Cleaner and bring it to the next level by porting the cleaner logic to a user friendly Aroma Installer. Now users can individually choose what they would like to clean and I will step by step add more options now.
The most important factors for me, beside the combination of performance and battery life is the fact the I’m able to run the original TouchWiz rom but maximum debloated to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So what happens if you use my script?
The script deletes all kind of apps from your installed rom based on your selections down to a core level what is required for a stable operation. From that level you can add any desired app from the Google Playstore to satisfy your personal requirements and style.
Important notes
The BareBone Cleaner is designed to clean TouchWiz Lollipop 5.0.x roms running on the S5 G900F which are either odexed or deodexed.
Currently I’m not planning to support other rom types. I’m happy to get your feedback if you tried it successfully on other roms as well so other users can benefit from that information as well.
Best use is running the BareBone Cleaner from recovery right after flashing a new rom but you can also make use of it if you want to clean your existing installation. In this case you might experience that apps like Google maps, Youtube etc. will be gone. In this case just load them again from Google Playstore.*
! Flash this Script at your own Risk !
!! - I don't take any responsibility for any Damage - !!
Create a Nandroid-Backup before flashing the script!

yup i used it on my s5 mini and ive removed 83 Samsung system apps
the device is very fast now and smooth
as for installation download the ZIP and flash it via recovery
it will open a window with an aroma installer
follow the instructions that will show
and just in case make a backup for your current rom so you can restore it if you removed something you need
So I can flash any S5 ROM on my S5 Mini (g800f) ? And then I have to flash this Mod, and ROM should work, right ?

Can you post a comment in his thread of twrp with the problem so he will see it just in case he didnt noticed your message
I think the problem is related to hardware overlays and not handled correctly for this build. There is a workaround in the r4 build of the same TWRP source rev. for the Moto X Play. Aroma hangs when the zip has loaded and the splash screen should be displayed on top of the TWRP interface. It just hangs and all you can do is reboot. Just run this installer from the latest TWRP. It won't change anything until after you have made all these choices. So it should be safe to try.

The BareBone Cleaner is an Aroma Installer based tool which will debloat your TouchWiz Lollipop rom up to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So get rid of all the Samsung crap, bloatware, the annoying “check cover” warning or other apps which you could easily add again to your personal liking from the Google Playstore.
I’m sure many of you was looking for this kind of solution in order to choose any rom fitting your personal liking.
Background of this Project
The original kick-off for this project was a longer temporary absence of*Edgarf28*who provides us with his awesome*XtreStoLite*rom. I used his rom since the very first day on my S5 and even I tried tons of other roms, for some reasons I always returned to XtreStoLite.
Therefore I started to develop the BareBone Cleaner to be able to choose any TouchWiz Lollipop rom and clean it down to the same level as Edgar is doing with his rom. Short after I decided to share my BareBone Cleaner in this thread Edgar returned and provided an updated rom version.
As I enjoy this project and got several motivating feedbacks from users who would like to clean the rom of their choice, I decided to continue the development of my BareBone Cleaner and bring it to the next level by porting the cleaner logic to a user friendly Aroma Installer. Now users can individually choose what they would like to clean and I will step by step add more options now.
The most important factors for me, beside the combination of performance and battery life is the fact the I’m able to run the original TouchWiz rom but maximum debloated to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So what happens if you use my script?
The script deletes all kind of apps from your installed rom based on your selections down to a core level what is required for a stable operation. From that level you can add any desired app from the Google Playstore to satisfy your personal requirements and style.
Important notes
The BareBone Cleaner is designed to clean TouchWiz Lollipop 5.0.x roms running on the S5 G900F which are either odexed or deodexed.
Currently I’m not planning to support other rom types. I’m happy to get your feedback if you tried it successfully on other roms as well so other users can benefit from that information as well.
Best use is running the BareBone Cleaner from recovery right after flashing a new rom but you can also make use of it if you want to clean your existing installation. In this case you might experience that apps like Google maps, Youtube etc. will be gone. In this case just load them again from Google Playstore.*
! Flash this Script at your own Risk !
!! - I don't take any responsibility for any Damage - !!
Create a Nandroid-Backup before flashing the script!

I have the Xiaomi.eu version (which has the updated weather app I've been waiting for, so it's based off this release) with Xmister's CPU handling app and there were no surprises with this update, battery-wise or performance.
Through OTA i got 940MB update for this 6.1.8. It is not incremental update size, more like full rom size. How about you guys? I still didn't update it yet.

If you have the xiaomi.eu rom it's normal. Xiaomi.eu release only full roms as OTA updates, even if nothing has changed

Can you please tell which Stable version are you using and what is your Screen on Time and with what kind of usage. I was only getting 2 hours of Screen on time with MIUI7 7.0.12.0, so I installed Custom ROM Angel's and Demons and it gives me nearly 4-5 hours SOT.

Moderator Information,
Thread closed, there is an existing thread here: [OFFICIAL] OxygenOS Open Beta 6 for OnePlus 3T
XIAOMI.EU MIUI
Xiaomi.eu released their version of MIUI for Mi Max 3.
Weekly Beta and Stable are based on Android 10
Both Weekly Beta and Stable are based on China Rom
Xiaomi.eu forums: here
INFORMATION & FEATURES
So why is this rom important for us?
The answer is very simple, Its a good replacement for a global rom. (the global 9.6.4.0 | 9.6.6.0 has lots of problems and stable MIUI 12 has a lot of ads).
This marks the beggining of Mi Max 3 custom roms development and I hope that we are going to get more roms from the community and developers.
Ill be updating the thread with every new weekly release for Mi Max 3 and with every stable release.
Have a great day and happy flashing

report this bug on xiaomi.eu website
what is the bug? can you describe it?
during a call my microphone does not work anymore, so the person can not hear me anymore. It has already been reported ?
Why wipe internal storage before flashing the rom? From what I understand, it's generally not wiped in other devices. and what is the problem with wiping system? its not done anyway by the rom install?

Click to collapse
1. We want to have a clean installation for less problems, wiping internal storage will clear the device from folders and files that were on the previous system.
2. Xiaomi.eu doesnt work like a normal custom rom. it acts like an update to your MIUI which is installed over the previous installation of official MIUI so basiccly it changes the previous system. Wiping system partition before installing the rom will cause a lot of problems later and might not even work.
V8.8.3 was released!

Also are there any call issues for you? (Microphone not working?)

Not yet. Im on 8.7.26. No microphone issues but I have only made 3 calls.
Do these need to be updated every time or can you skip a few weeks and only update as you feel like it?
Just a quick question. Can I request to unlock bootloader with the vendor rom installed or do I need to flash another rom first? My Mi Max 3 should arrive tomorrow and it will definitely have a multi language global (vendor) rom on it.
Also, can I follow the guide on the first post to flash Xiaomi.eu rom directly over the vendor rom?
Thanks for any info..

The bootloader will be unlocked by the vendor so thats not a problem.
I suggest not to install this over the vendor rom as the vendor rom broke some partitions on your device and has an unofficial system partition which will be flashed by Xiaomi.eu rom.
Follow my tutorial: here
you will be on latest china official beta and from there follow my instructions for xiaomi.eu

Thank you so much for the detailed reply, I really appreciate all the information.
Just the confirm, the moment I get the phone I would be able to enter fastboot mode, flash the official chinese rom, then return to fastboot, flash TWRP and from there flash Xiaomi.eu and there will be no 15 day waiting period for the bootloader unlock?

Well I can not be sure about that, but when you get the phone go to developer options and check if your device is unlocked, even if it says its not try flashing twrp it might work.
