Hey guys, I have very limited time and internet access this week, but I wanted to give a heads up in case any of you receive a phone with 'extra' software on board.
I've just received my 32GB Prime and there have been issues right away. Although it has a 'stable' international ROM on board, it repeatedly hung in the first thirty minutes and I was repeatedly prompted to use apps like DU Speed Booster and another memory cleaner app to 'fix' the problem. These don't look like part of MIUI to me, but they can't be uninstalled, so somebody has clearly cooked them into the ROM. This reeks of phishing malware to me so I'm going to download the latest official stable ROM and flash that as soon as I have time.
If I'm wrong, please let me know and I'll update or delete this. If not, please check your phone carefully before entering any of your data or account info.
Same issue here. However, I have been trying to download the stock ROM from the miui website for a full day. Cant seem to get it to dowanload past 50MB. If you figure this out please let me know.

Lol, same problem here. I've given up for now. I Googled earlier on and it would appear that MIUI servers are absolutely rammed because so many people are trying to download.

That is a relief. I thought it was just me all day. I ordered mine and it was already setup when I opened the box. I did a factory reset, but it didnt get rid of those apps or issues. I am also assuming that Xiaomi doesnt include that bloatware on purpose.
Also, now everytime I browse to a new link in Chrome it rerouts me to some spam ad page. I need to get this fixed ASAP.

Did yours come with MIUI 7? Mine came with MIUI 6 installed.
Download and flash developer MIUI 7 version. Use a download manager like IDM. The ROM that the sellers put on the RN2 is not optimized and causes issues for everyone who got it that way (sources: XDA and another non-English forum).

It's a bit confusing. According to this post only these models are supported: Redmi 1S, Redmi 2, Mi 4i, Mi 3, Mi 4, Redmi Note 3G, Redmi Note 4G.
Edit: Found it here.

Mine had MIUI 6. Now I've put the latest stable MIUI 6 on which lacks Play store/Google services and only has English and Chinese language options.
Had the same problem, you can get miui 7 developer rom from zan5hin link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/general/server-issues-preventing-updating-to-t3188967
Most bloatware isn't in it, then flash gapps-5.0.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip (can't remember where I got it)
not had a Chinese popup for a while and everything seems stable, this should do me till an international rom appears
MIUI 7 developer version 5.9.2
Recommend this developer version
I have the heating and lagging issue after root, sometimes even the phone call need to wait about 1 or 2 secs to see the caller ID.
The MIUI website unable to download, too many people try to download maybe, so I google and find a Chinese guy share what his experience with this version and provided a link to download ROM on Mobile - 1
I flash it with xiaomi updater, and I can see the difference right away.
The CPU won't be so hot (before even high to 72), and all apps respond much faster than before and more smooth.
Suggest everyone who has Redmi Note 2 should try it.
I am not able to provide link cause I don't have 10 post.

I have actually noticed my phone is a bit slower than when I first got it, was it the root that I managed to achieve a few days ago causing this?
Are you talking about this ROM? http://en.miui.com/thread-157254-1-1.html
I think the other guy who also can't speak english or post links is talking about this ROM, v5.9.9: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811823
chinese rom
NO I used the one from a Taiwan or Hong Kong website
call Mobile-1
the zip file is about 651MB
I start using the new rom for 2 days
what I noticed is that the apps are more smooth and fast respond
the cpu wont get too hot
and Yes, I have those issue after root, and don't worry about your root
after flash, still have root access if you dirty flash
BTW, the new rom can get root permission in security
hope you can find it
Hi guys, I've just received my Xioami Redmi note 2 prime and have the same problem! Avast antivirus finds malware installed. The problem app is called Fun Weather funweater.apk. Avast says it is Androidropper-BT(PUP)and Android.Troj.ya_funsms.gf. Factory reset doesn't solve the problem. Uninstall also. It is integrated into the firmware. I have read in one article that if it is into the firmware I am screwed up and this cannot be cleaned. Should I try to return the phone back and get my money back? Is it sure that installing new rom will clean up my phone from the malware? One is for sure I am totally done with Chinese stuff. Xiaomi, Aliexpress and everything Chinese will be totally avoided from now. I am so frustrated! I don't know what to do. If I return it I have to pay shipping costs. I feel totally screwed up.
Why not install CM12.1 on it and call it a day?
Slow download on bigota.d.miui.com just add o in front to obigota.d.miui.com although i suggest you use http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-22.28856/ instead.
Putting a new rom is a little bit difficult for me, but even if I do it, is there slightly probability the malware to stay in the new rom too? If so, may be it is better to return it. The article I've read about malware says "contact your vendor for replacement or refund" Does it mean that if the seller infected the phone, it is unrepairable? If a new rom guarantee a clean phone, maybe I should try because the phone itself is not bad. But I will never feel comfortable using it having doubts about security.
Wiping it should remove any conventional malware - you will be wiping it in order to install a clean ROM anyway. Installing a clean ROM is not difficult at all, though I can understand it might look like it the first time you attempt to do it. You could use this tool to flash TWRP, then you just boot into it, wipe data/cache and flash the ROM .zip from the SD card.

There is a CM12.1 for RN2? AOSP != CM
Bloatware and malware are installed as system app.
You can remove it only installing another rom.
~ Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime ~
i got my redmi from ibuygou so there were no chinese shady apps, but i still wiped all data and installed xiaomi.eu rom, i think everyone shoud do at first, we never know what's inside the "stock" roms from chinese resellers.
The A7U with MM (as I have modified it) has been very satisfactory, but I continue to debate over the upgrade to N7.0.
I did try some early Nougat versions on the old Nexus 5 and a Samsung tablet and ended up reverting back due to various performance issues, but that was a while ago.
Also, some here have reported problems either with the process or with the function of the end resut, so I am looking for some recommendations pro or con about making the move to B15.
Thanks

I'm on N and the only reason im on N is because ZTE fixed the VoLTE and its not roaming on Verizon any more. Pretty much works as it should and acts just like a Verizon device which is impressive, because we never get to play with unlocked devices on Verizon.
Now to the actual B15 stuff. Its a bit more laggy then MM and a few apps are pretty much unusable on N. Those are WhatsApp and LinkedIn on my device. I think I've seen another one or two somewhere else.
Camera is definitely better for me. Battery is great for me but it was great before the update.
Pretty sure im forgetting a few things. Overall im happy with the device and even happier that VoLTE works now.
7.1.1 should be out soon, hopefully that takes care of these few issues.
All of this is covered in the nougat thread.

This is the thread that was started when nougat was released.
It mostly covers flashing issues but there is feedback as well.
You can also read the zte forum for lots of N opinions, probably more then anyone could ever need.
Personally I think its ok, but only with custom kernel to speed it up. Hoping 7.1.1 will be better.

Thanks, hadn't seen it & gave it a read. I loaded Stock (rooted) 7.0 and found it fine. Perhaps a touch slower than MM, but certainly no noticeable problems (or benefit).
I had Substratum working 98% (including Android System) in MM so missed the darker theme. Also TB was unable to see its archive on the extSDcard, although worked fine when I moved it to the internal storage.
Also tried RR, but couldn't get Gapps to install over the ROM (TWRP errors: either unsupported device or incompatible ROM errors), so reverted back to B29 for now.
I saved a TWRP BU of B15 w/ all data for a starting point when 7.1 is released.
Hey guys,
I am currently running a beta of MIUI EU (it was one of the first original ROMs) however I want something new and stable. If I flash the stable MIUI EU I need to flash it from scratch and delete data, so I might as well see whats out there.
What is the most stable ROM for us currently?
My requirements in a ROM are the below;
- Fingerprint Sensor
- Encryption
- No bloatware
- Stable
- Receives OTA updates
- Good battery management (MIUI actually does a pretty good job of this AFAIK)
I am currently looking into EPIC and Resurrection however I want the one that will be receiving updates going forward etc.
Please let me know your thoughts of what you guys are using and why etc.

Try FlymeOS, but as some bloatware... There's no Custom ROM with OTA. Only MIUI and FlymeOS

Currently the only custom rom that usable is mokee 6 by razziell, but no OTA. Else use xiaomi.eu like your current choice.
All nougat custom rom currently suffer from either fingerprint, gps and camera bug due to lack proper driver from xiaomi. MIUI 9 based on nougat will fix those problems.

When you say "the only custom rom that (is) usable", are you taking into account the latest unofficial lineage os 13 by Jacoghi? I'm referring to lineage-13.0-20170506-UNOFFICIAL-markw that isn't available on Xda, but only on Bruno Coghi's YouTube channel.
It has everything working and covers all the items on that checklist, except for OTA updates.
It's my daily driver and it works great.

I guess it is already unusable on the sole ground that is hasn't June security patches.

If you go by that criteria, then probably 99% of all Android devices are unusable...
What you probably mean is that it is not the best case scenario. But there's a huge difference between not the best and unusable. And having just the May security updates, although not absolutely great, is still pretty good.
Sure I'd love if the dev kept releasing updates, but i think my device is pretty safe for the time being.
go for Epic, you wont disappointed

Thanks for all the replies. I am really torn between them now. The Miui EU stable offers a lot, but it's still bloated like anything and will prob run very heavy like the current one I'm running.
If I opt for something else no OTA and some features will be broken.

Yeah so what Im saying, is it worthwhile using something that maybe I sacrifice the OTA but the rest is absolutely amazing, or stick with something a bit heavier but it has the OTA ie. MIUI EU Stable.
I use my phone for work so I cant really be messing around with something that isnt pretty stable and reliable you know.

Personally I have never ever used OTA, and can't really understand the requirement of a ROM to have it.
There are a lot of stable ROMs out there. Mokee, Lineage OS 13, and I'm currently using AOKP with no issues.
If you want something more like stock try Epic ROM.
Else just use MIUI EU Stable.
I tried a few roms. Epic seems steady for work n battery.
Think it's about half the weight of global about 900 mb approx.

Are you able to use fastboot? If not then you bricked your device, either deep flash cable or test point could bring back your device. Never trust someone to flash rom to your device before you do research on the rom, kenzo and markw is different device and have different SOC.
It only make sense if you try to flash mido (Redmi Note 4) rom since they have same SOC, but don't try this. Only flash rom that are build for markw.
Just got Mi A1 today and it says an update is available. I thought it was the Oreo update they announced a few days earlier but it's not. They call it "Transition version for Android O".
Reading here and on Xiaomi forums I found out that both this update and Oreo have a lot of problems so now I don't know what to do? Install this update or wait for a stable 8.0 version?
I didn't have any problems with the update you mention.
I'm also not having any problems with Oreo.
You won't be getting the update to Oreo that everyone else updated to, it's been pulled so you would end up with this December update, then would have to wait for the next Oreo update.

yes oreo is not stable.
I don't understand why 1GB update is needed to go from Android 7.1.2 to 7.1.2 again with just this changelog:
1. D2Acontinuous annoying sharp Sound problem in A1
2. D2A is transferred to 112 when the local emergency number is called in the Czech Republic
3. Transition version for Android O

Same here. No issues at all apart from the well known Bluetooth battery statistics issue. I didn't do factory reset after the upgrade.
No issues with Oreo, works as good as Nougat did!
Only a minor cosmetic issue with battery stats.
We do have some problems after the update to Oreo, like Mi remote not working in India
Swiping the fingerprint sensor for getting status bar is not working etc

Yes, you should absolutely install 7.12.19 as it is a security update. This is still Android Nougat (version 7).
The update is stable on my phone and actually improved some performance aspects (e.g. the time lag of the fingerprint reader is gone).
For Android Oreo (version 8) you should absolutely wait another month or two.

Any final version release date announce?
Since Oreo official release is somewhat obscure, need some enlightment before flashing this :
1. Kindly confirm I will not lose any data
2. It's WW/Global version
3. In case the official ROM becomes available, can we use the same recovery method to flash it.
All those who are eager to try out this rom but are skeptic as how will it work ,and the the bugs.
To them i will say that go ahead and flash this rom & u will never regret.
No whatsapp bug encountered,its fixed.
The rom is perfect without any bug, no lags infact it is quite stable as an official rom.
and yess the battery backup is better than any of the roms i ever installed on this device,let it be marshmallow or noghat. i usually on my usage would get around 5 hrs sot on noughat, but on this i am glad to inform that i get aroung 6 hrs of sot.
this rom doesnt seem to be a beta.........it is perfect to release officially.
Go ahead and try out the rom guys, and you will thank me the for the advice.
Just installed, seems to be ok for now
Thanks

Since Oreo official release is somewhat obscure, need some enlightment before flashing this :
1. Kindly confirm I will not lose any data
2. It's WW/Global version
3. In case the official ROM becomes available, can we use the same recovery method to flash it.

1) On this new update, please backup all of your data because you will lose it.
2) It's WW version (CN,TW, JP will NOT WORK)
3) I will suggest you to downgrade your phone to Nougat (WW 14.2020.1712.85) and upgrade to Official Oreo ROM by ASUS; if available)

The bug on WhatsApp is fixed. Remember, it doesn't matter if you are staying in Europe , Japan etc if your phone is WW SKU.
This ROM is for WW SKU ONLY!!!
Have fun flashing

1) The battery backup isn't great on this Oreo ROM (because it overheats our devices). Marshmallow is way way better in terms of battery life. Nougat ROM is pure sh*t.
2) This ROM contains bugs (for example OIS stabilization, overheating, 2nd row of status bar touch problem (hit or miss), APK installation problem from Telegram etc. So it's partially stable I would say.
Has anyone else realised that battery lasts longer with data saver on
I did not lose data when updating... Even my chrome tabs are there

Well thats wierd because i didnt encountered any of the above problems you have listed.
my phone doesnt gets heated even on heavy usage. battery backup is great (3 cycles with 6 hrs sot each)
no apk installation error i got, even ive installed telegram.
only one bug i encountered was while using twin app feature for whtsapp, the twin whatsapp profile pic was not able to upload, but thats nothing.
i love the fluidity of the rom.
The lock screen clock is the worst looking clock I have ever seen on Android. Is there a way to change it?
