is MIUI 8 for redmi 3s worth installing?

I just got my redmi 3s and noticed that officially the MIUI 8 version is still a "develoer rom".
Does it works well? any performance or important battery life issues that makes it better to wait for a more polished rom for my 3s?
Thanks!

I tried it a few weeks ago - Could not get google services working so reverted to the 7.x stable build.
Downloading MIUI8 now though

it has some new features
if it's better or worse (i have 3 , not 3s) i don't know , but i don't have a reason to go back to 7 (i didn't notice any problem yet)

Not stable yet but it have great feature, maybe a little bit more drain on battery but with a 4100 mah, who cares??
Try it, myself i will not return to miui7

It is NOT Redmi 3S forum! PLEASE write in the right forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xiaomi-redmi-3s

Hi, sorry if in wrong thread. I bought 3s prime for my son's Xmas present and wondering whether I will eventually receive an ota. Current miui version is Global 7.3 stable 7.3 .10.0.0 (MALCNDE ). I know some have 7.5 but mine says no updates available. Will I have to flash something different to enable ota or will I just receive it in good time ? Thanks

@timbohobbs You will need to flash official Global via MiFlash. Your version is modified by vendor.

Try global beta rom 6.9.1 (miui 8) with miflash beta and you will get ota

The dev update is going well, update every week and has a lot of features, current problem is blocked 4G LTE for some devices, but it could be done by root via TWRP

I saw that once you upgrade to 7.0 (for example v7.2.9) that bootloader will be automatically locked, and we will have to unlock it once again.
Can anyone confirm if this is true,

Bootloader cannot be locked unless its instructed by you. Flashing process doesn't have any interference with the Bootloader. Still, about my personal experience, I migrate from custom roms to MIUI 7.1.12 and back atleast twice a week. Its not the case. And given the reason neither its supposed to be. You can clear your doubts.

Yes this is my understanding too, and i myself flash constantly -
but according to xiaomi.eu page for build 7.2.9 : " RELESED Android 7.0 for MI4C, Mi4S, MIMAX, MIMAX PRO, MINote PRO
Your BOOTLOADER will be relocked after upgrade to Android 7.0 so unlock it by en.miui.com/unlock after ROM installation again!!!"

No worries, I flashed today without knowing above and my bootloader still unlocked.
After flashing gapps I get lots error messages. Otherwise no big difference in miui.
Worked ok with supersu 2.79 and twrp 3.0.2

No way! I've been looking forward to properly implemented multiwindow since I first saw Android N. That's such a shame

yep, xiaomi took android 7.0 and transformed it to MIUI 8 based on 6.0 i was hoping at least for display resolution support from 7.0 but no, you still have to edit build.prop and distort apps and icons in default theme. i don't need 6.5" screen because of 1cm fonts

According to this: http://www.miui.com/thread-17532427-1-1.html , you are so close, that stupid bug starts from next update V9.6.12 so be careful you don't have the ARB bug.

I have china Stable MIUI 9 V9.6.12.0.OEDCNFD with ARM. Bootloader unlocked since buying.
Is it possible install xiaomi eu ROM Miui 10 8.9.6 or other dev ROM with Miui 10?

Just got mine today with Global stable V9.6.7.0.OEDMIFD, so I should keep this version until I can unlock it in 720h?

Okay! Please be patent with me and allow me to ask one last time to make myself very clear.
I'm now running Official China 9.6.12.0 (ARB).
Can I TWRP to the official Global Recovery 9.6.6.0 (Non-ARB) without bricking my Max 3?
I always have the impression that cross-Family rom TWRP / Miflashing from official China ARB rom to official Global Non-ARB rom is not being restricted by the ARB?

Thanks!!! It is great to have some development ?

Hm.. This is confusing. According to xiaomi.eu link you provided, Redmi K30 Pro has "lmi" code name (starting with lowercase "L"!), not "imi" (lowercase "I"). Pro or not, I'm fine with each. But even Google mixes all possible combinations, so it's hard to say whether it's "L" or "I".
That aside, and what worries me more, down the same page it's noted for MIUI 12: "SUSPENDED due to upgrade Qualcomm baseline: cmi, umi, lmi". Now, this "lmi" (with capital "L") indeed points to our K30 Pro in the table according to them. Does that mean this 20-6-4 version (June 4th 2020) is the last beta for MIUI 12? Or are they pointing to K30 non-Pro version? Maybe even older K30 non-5G version? Confusing.

Correct me if I'm wrong,
"lmi" is for K30 Pro, while "lmipro" is the codename for K30 Pro Zoom Edition.
Also the last beta for miui 12 for our device was 20.5.24 (at the time of writing), and not 20.6.4. In the xiaomi.eu latest thread (20.6.18), the dev stated that lmi got delayed, so I am convinced that the beta development for our device hasn't ended yet.

Correct, meanwhile I have found that was the case. Meaning OP was incorrect when said "our codename is imipro".

It seems I wrongly assumed weekly releases are beta firmwares. Now in another thread just few minutes ago I found last beta was indeed 20.5.24 as you say, and that MIUI 12 is stable now. Doesn't that mean there's no beta firmwares anymore? Btw, again, if you open MIUI 12 link from OP, Xiaomi.eu webpage clearly says that codename "Imi" (together with some other) is suspended. Explain that, I can't. That's what I tried to find out in my last post.
