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.

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.
I just spotted this at the mi mix download page
http://en.miui.com/download-317.html#471
Some screenshots
is there a way to flash this rom with locked bootloader?
Can u flash this using Twrp
Anyone having issues with FC of Gallery and Notes?....I am getting multiple repeated messages making the phone very difficult to use since the update from EU rom to this Global rom. Also when I go to settings/about phone/system updates/ reboot to recovery I am getting the picture of the phone with the cable plugged in and the web address at the bottom of the screen. Will I now get the OTA with this rom?
Thanks in advance

The previous EU-ROMS ar CUSTOM made, the Global is official. So noo need for a Xiaomi.eu ROM. And yes, cyou can flasg the OFFICIAL Global without unlocking the bootloader IF you are on a OFFICIAL Stable or Developer. Not on any "EU"-ROM

Mi Mix with no micro SD is not easy for backup !
Sorry for my english ...
I bought my Xiaomi Mi Mix recently (should be arriving tomorrow). I have a feeling that I will receive it with MIUI Chinese Stable. Is there any way for me to update to the MIUI Global Rom (http://en.miui.com/thread-526390-1-1.html) without having an unlocked bootloader? Please let me know. Thanks
Flashed the 8.2.1 Global ROM using a PC and it works great. GAPPs installed and less bloat.

Dislike ? I have all Samsung Note Series, as well more S series and here is conclusion.
MIUI is great dissapointment comparing targeted phone price...As I wrote in one review, it looks like little children "played games on Ferrari car"...I have all weird chinese letters as "houses,dots and boxes" instead normal text or keyboard...also..everything is chinese or some sort of...can not sync my google accounts,doesnt have possibility to import of contacts even can not create one, can not normaly type SMS messages....can not upgrade it to normal operating system because there is suported...none !! It is unbeliveable slippery. Official support is..none ! Camera is also very cheap one and images are unbelieveble bad for that devices price tag.
also needed to create weird MIUI account, or something to get support for nothing...bootloader is locked and if you are happy they will unlock it.so ou can not even change rom to something usable.
Let me be straight...phone looks very good...but usebillity is ONLY for Chinese people...for 800€ I should buy new S8...but I am lucky that I will get my money back and it was good school...Chinese devices...never again...Anyway, I could count disadvantages countlesly, and there is also one good thing...design.
Very very dissapointed..waste of money indeed....it was my notice for people to rather spend 700-800€ on something more usefull.
Big phone, great concept, big fail.
my device is 18k , 6gb, 256gb.black.

hi everybody,
i'm planning to buy ZUK EDGE from Zuk Official Shop (http://www.zukmobile.cc/buy-zuk-mobile.html)
I'm just concerned about 2 things before my buying :
- Android 7.0 (for the multiwindow mode mainly)
- Multilanguage ROM (French language mostly)
I asked (and a lot of people too did) on the questions page but the people who are answering are once saying "multilanguage is available" and sometimes "just english & chinese".
They updated the sheet recently and it seems clear that Android 7.0 is preinstalled. But which build? They are unclear about it.
I did some researchs on the internet and i found that the most recent and stable build of Android 7.0 for ZUK EDGE is : ZUI 2.5.406
It is apparently bringing every features of Android 7.0, the ability to show "on-screen buttons" (back, menu, app view), and even multilanguage...
Do you have a link to download this 2.5.406 ROM for ZUK EDGE ? Does someone already have it / tried it ?
Thank you!
Hi,
For what I have seen so far, you'll have to choose between ZUI 2.5 or multi languages. The custom rom are built on 2.3.
Only official rom is 2.5 (my phone came with 2.3 but there was an update ready for 2.5).
I try the 2 Italian rom mention in other post, there is French.
The CM have French too. I'm back on official 2.5,camera is a bit better.
Hope that help.

i need this . how can i update to ZUI 2.5 ?
With the OTA,of the update app of zui.
But if you're already rooted, that won't work, you'll need to use the qualcomm tool QTFIL I think, i found the tuto on zuk fan europe I'll try post the link later.

This is the link, might still work for you.
I'm just a forum follower, I'm useless with out a good tuto....
From memory it is the official zuk rom, so locked bootloader might work.
fyi, to open the port for qfil i struggle a bit, and once open you need to start the download very very quicly, less than a second....good luck with that.
Bye
Hi everybody
I buy zuk edge soon. Inside there is zui 2.3 android 6.0 custom rom multilanguage with playstore. I would like change for android 7.0 with French language. Where I can find this Rom please?

What i am confused about is the phone is advertised as being released with Android 7.0 and i purchased mine directly from ZUK and they say it's Android 6.0, how is that possible? Did anyone here buy official ROM and if so was there an update to 7.0?
TIA.

Also i am trying to use Flixter movie app and it saying location not set, when i am inputting a postal coder it says i should be more specific, and when i put in a city it states the same. Anyone?! Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all m3 users,
Planning to Take POCO m3 6gb variant as a primary device . But read many post about the dead boot issue after update .
So is it happening to all ? What if i did not update any other 12.0 versions from stock version and wait till 12.5 stable to get released.
Only cons about m3 i understand was Stock Camera and was planning to put Gcam. Other than that phone has VFM factor for 12k. [Currently using redmi3s prime] .. Planning to keep it for a long term and not for gaming office use .
So cant tolerate the reboot or dead issue even for a day ..
Thank You
If I'm not mistaken, the deadboots are caused by hardware issue - something related to a chip inside . I don't think updates directly cause deadboots; they are probably just coincidence. (I'm not an expert on this, so don't take my word for it.)
Personally, I've had my M3 for almost 3 months, flashed roms many times and no deadboot. That said, flashing roms does come with risks which we accept if we choose to customize our phones.
About waiting for 12.5 stable. You definitely can do this for custom roms. For official roms, I don't know if they allow skipping versions, or if they require incremental updates. You'll just have to try when 12.5 comes out.

Thank you. Also read its a h/w thing..bt.most cases issue comes after udpate and poco said its was due to memory related code in firmware udpate which is pushed along with os udpate.
Ya i know till 12.0.9 its incremental updated.
Thought 12.5 is a major update on A11. So it will be completely new..

Ah, I wasn't aware of Poco announcement about the memory issue.
My phone came with OS version 12.0.8.0 (QJFMIXM), then I updated to 12.0.9 using the official updater. I never got the deadboot problem. So either the problem was with previous versions, or I was just lucky.

For whatever the reason my poco m3 global is not getting the latest updates though the ota updater.
I'm still on 12.0.11 and judging from the reports around the net everyone else have received the 12.5 at least.
So now what?
IS there any official way to get the update myself and have the updater see and install it?
I don't want to get random Google results because I have sensitive information coming through the phone.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I have the same problem, I am stuck at 12.0.11 and does not detect any updates.

There are ROMs floating around that we could try to flash but I would love the get some confirmation first for a trusted source.
Poco support does not exist and they never answered my email about the problem and if they can provide the official ROM to sideload it myself... the local xiaomi don't provide support for global versions either.
Terrible support overal.
