[Google Assistant][Mido] No-Root - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi guys today I wanted to share you guys how can you get google Assistant on your Modo without Root. This method is safe and advantages are
As I said no root hence you are not breaking your ota, no need unlocked bootloader,no need to root your device,no need to edit your build prop.
All you need to do is to sing up for beta tester of google play service and beta for google app.
Google play service (beta)
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.gms
Google app(beta)
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.gms
It worked with miui 8 and miui 9 and o even tested it with other handset like Lenovo k5 and it worked successful.
And yes a reboot is compulsory. After that and here you go . And now I tested it on 5 device running with different skin and it worked. It worked on miui 8 miui 9 Android 6.0+ on funtouch os of vivo and emui and also on le eco so yes it's good I haven't tried it on Android lollipop if anyone is there they may try it and inform me. I guess a little build prop editing may help

Mi Max Helium 3gb/64gb - first review (and ROM flash tips)

Hi,
guess this will be more of a review as it is hard to say which feature i like BEST:
Got my MAX 3gb/64gb (helium) delievered yesterday. Since it came with the 7.3 MIUI first thing i had to do was read up on how to install the MIUI8 China dev rom to the device. After a bit of fiddling and translating chinese / indian websites i came up with a workable solution, even with the bootloader locked. So since yesterday evening i got MIUI8 6.6.23 running on the device - weeded out some apps i did not understand (chinese) and installed Play Store.
So far i must say - this phone is glorious. MIUI8 is fast and seemingly stable, i did not come across any big bugs and there doesnt even seem to be the typical micro-stuttering. Im really happy i bought the phone and hoping there will be a multilanguage (i.e. german) MIUI8 for it. For now im perfectly good with the Dev Rom and english localisation.
Thanks Xiaomi!
To anybody interested - flashing the China Development ROM (MIUI 8 6.6.23) with the locked bootloader was not exactly easy, here is how to:
- get the rom image from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-299033-1-1.html (be sure to download the Mi Max Pro fastboot image - 1418mb)
- get MiFlash Beta from here: http://xiaomitips.com/download/new-miflash-beta-one-click-install-miui-fastboot-rom/
- extract tgz fastboot image - keep folder structure!
- enable developer options -> usb debugging in additional settings then turn off phone
- boot phone into EDL mode (phone off, press simultaneously vol+&vol- then connect usb cable)
- open miflash beta - there should be an entry with "id 1" and "device" something like "COM10" in the bottom table now - SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS!
- select the folder where extracted image is located
- tick "clean all" in the bottom right
- hit flash
- enjoy.
First of all, thank you for sharing this. I went step by step (vol up and down didn't work for me, tried power and vol up and device didn't show up in fast boot, did vol down and power and it showed up) then I flashed the image and it successfully flashed, when the device booted it still showed the 7.4.16 global stable Rom the vendor installed : /, I did it again and the same thing, the rom didn't change. could you please help/?
Sorry, I followed the steps exactly as described and it worked out perfectly, thank you very much, its just that when I pressed vol + and - I didn't see anything on the screen so I thought it wasn't working, miui 8 is nice indeed, could you explain how you installed the play store, the one on the Mi store is crashing on me.
it's a little tricky but there is a thread on here that should get you started. you have to use the Google installer and then update some Google components before you restart your phone.

6.6.23 is older (june 23)
6.7.7 is the newest sofar (July 7)
I use the weekly multi rom on my MI Max since its better tuned with translations and the china apps that I don't use are removed
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-7-7-11.32639/
the process for installing the new Version does not change with the newer miui8 6.7.7 so you're good to go with the same Instructions from OP.
Meanwhile on my Max I have boot loader unlocked and root. Works flawlessly with the new MIUI weekly Releases.

Would you mind pointing that thread where it's explained?
Thanks a lot for you experience sharing,
I was wondering maybe you solved this: i can't get whatsapp to run on this rom, even with all permissions given, whatapps and skype cant access my contacts. I got my contacts on the system using the old google installer apk which worked wonders except now i can't get past the looking for backup screen in whatsapp.
If anyone has ideas pls let me know and in the meanwhile i will try to flash other roms to see if one works..
I answered my own question playing with the settings. You have to register under accounts mi accounts to unable contact sync for all apps .... ? anyway it all works now!
BTW I have updated MUIU using http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#446 new dev rom and followed instructions.

Thanks heaps for the tutorial about installing Google Play services
By the way, can this rom you're talking about be flashed following the instructions by original poster?
Do I need to flash in first place the rom from original poster (MIUI 8 6.6.23) and then flash your new one (MIUI 8 6.7.14)?
Or can I flash directly latest one?

I can't tell you for sure but i think you have to use the instructions from the muiu site if you want the lastest dev rom.
1- I used OP instructions and links to install muiu 8
2- updated to last china dev rom following muiu site instructions.
3- installed all gapps stuff
PS if you want to ROOT, do this between 2 and 3: (unlocked boot loader)
1-Download SuperSu to root Xiaomi Mi Max and copy it to your phone sd card from this site: http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
2-Download xiaomi twrp flasher and use it to flash from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/tool-xiaomi-twrp-flasher-mauronofrio-win-t3405207
3-Follow instructions from step 9 : http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
Last thing im playing with trying to activate LTE bands on the phone. If anyone can help for that, i can't get the drivers to install propertly

No need to go for a Nougat ROM.. You can enable it on Marshmallow as well. Try the below tutorial
http://www.droidape.com/get-google-assistant-marshmallow-devices/
I have installed the app directly and I have not had to change anything in the buildprop.
Sorry, install on MM Rom.

Unfortunately you need unlocked bootloader to install TWRP and get full root. You can get partial root from the security app permissions on the china developer ROM but from my experience you can't modify system partition.
I would try request unlock permission again and type in something like you want to unlock to try out some ROMs.

Hi,
I am glad you found a way how to install twrp, root it and to get xposed installer installed. I am also a happy owner of the Mi note 2 (global). I've just unlocked it but don't exactly know how to install twrp and how to root it. Could you please explain how you did it?
Many thanks + best regards,
Xsandro
Thanks to this forum I actually found a way to successfully install TWRP (http://en.miui.com/thread-415853-1-1.html)
In order to root it I just downloaded SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2, copied it to the TWRP folder of my note 2 and installed it via TWRP. Now I can install all my Titanium backups from my old phone.

[Discussion] Crashing/Not working Google apps

Some days ago the meizu m2 of my brother started having problems with the google apps not working any more (completely white screen in Play store and nothing working well). For this reason I decided to unlock its bootloader and install Lineage OS but after flashing Open Gapps I noticed that the google apps keep crashing all the time.
Looking around these forums I noticed that there are a lot of people with the same problem and for this reason I wanted to open this thread to collect all the discussions on the problem and to track any possible news about the problem itself and possible solutions if found.
I think that the cause of the problem may be Google discontinuing support to Gapps on phones not certified (I read some news on this topic some months ago).
I would like to know if someone has already found a solution for the problem to make the Phone usable again with the original Flyme OS or also a custom rom.
Thanks in advance.
[UPDATE] As a first solution for now I installed an old version of the gapps (You can find all the open gapps by date on the tags of the open gapps repository on github i.e: https://github.com/opengapps/arm64/tags?after=20180622) like suggested by someone on other threads. It seems to work for now because just after installation I deactivated the play store from the system settings so that google play services cannot be updated. I use yalp store (available on f-droid) to install apps from the play store
hello , i have a same problem,
this problem is with OpenGAPPS and MindTheGapps with 4 testing roms (Lineage, Viper, CrDroidAndroid, Resurrection_Remix),
in original Flyme OS is same problem.
I've tried Lineage 14, Resurrection Remix, Viper OS, Lineage 12, MIUI and everywhere Google Play Services crashes. As "whole m2 development is dead now" there is no hope that this will be solved.
At the end I installed AOSP 8.1 and it all working fine.:fingers-crossed:
Let me check it and find a solution for this. I will remind you guys what we can do to use it without issues if i found some. M2 is a secondary phone for me now. So let me try.
Updated first post with a possible solution
Uninstall the update (google & google play services), and turn off "auto update" on play store. Hopefully it can help.

Could you specify exactly which open gapps version you used (5.0-9.0?, nano/pico?)
And did you install open gapps on the Lineage OS you already had flashed on or onto stock ROM?

I installed OpenGapps Micro (of the 1st of August 2018) on Lineage OS
Solution:
1. Install 4.5.4I firmware
2. Root your device
3. Unlock bootloader
4. Install twrp 3.2.1
5. Flash AOSP 8.1 Rom
6. Flash arm64 8.1 micro gapps
Working all fine. Good luck.

Hey, I have a few questions regarding this.
Does FlymeOS 6.2.0.0G (or 6.3.0.0A for that matter) not work at all with open gapps?
Is there a point to install that instead of AOSP 8.1?
I still use FlymeOS stock 4.5.4l and I don't know why it would be more beneficial to use AOSP instead of a recent version of stock FlymeOS.
Does AOSP 8.1 have a lot of bugs?
I checked its forum page, it seems quite a lot of things are broken.
The ones that mostly concern me are the battery problems (though I have battery issues with the stock 4.5.4l FW currently as well), bad headphone sound quality, no navbar and sensor issues. Can you confirm that those are still present or has been fixed since?
hi

Hi, I am the one that posted the mega link but you will have to rename it as update.zip I had to change the name to make it more clear in my mega account sorry about that.
