Guide: (17-06-09) Flash Global/China ROM, Root, gapps, Xposed, TWRP + Nougat

WARNING: The MIX is still my device, but it runs so stable on Epic ROM Nougat + Xposed Nougat, that I don't need to tinker with it anymore, so I don't have the time to update this thread.
Some great people made posts about TWRP, root and gapps as well as great discussions for how to install particular ROMs.
I try to compile all informations for newcomers into a guide here.
Feel free to discuss. I will update the first posts to reflect any updates and incorporate all your suggestions if possible.

2.0 How to start? (Do I have vendor ROM & how to remove vendor ROM)
First, check if you have a vendor ROM, which is bad. Security issues, malware and no updates are just three reasons to move away from a vendor ROM.
How to check, if you have a vendor ROM:
Go to Settings > About phone
Check MIUI version
If any of the following conditions are true, you have a vendor ROM:
If it says "global" and after one month there is no update available in the updater app
If it says "global" and the version number has not the format: V8.0.4.0 LHOCNDG, (the numbers can vary, and the letters in the end can vary). Vendor ROMs often have one additional number, in total 5 numbers, which then is a vendor ROM
If it says "developer" or "beta" and after one week there is no update available in the updater app
Additionally you can read this very good article, on how to spot Vendor ROMs: http://miui.my/miui-identify-rom/
To get away from the Vendor ROM, you can either Unlock and flash another ROM (see 3.0), or you flash the official Global Stable ROM which can be flashed without unlocking the bootloader. (See 3.2 and ignore the requirement for the unlocked bootloader)
3.0 How to unlock the bootloader
Create Xiaomi Account, if you don't have one
Start the phone, login with Xiaomi account
Apply for bootloader unlock, and wait for the confirmation SMS to enter
On the unlock page, download the unlocker app and install it
After your request for unlock has been granted (waiting time usually a few hours to a few days), open the unlock app to unlock the bootloader

4.1 MIUI 8 xposed Tweaks
If you installed Xposed framework, there are 3 tools you can choose from, to tweak MIUI 8:
xMIUI by solarwarez
MIUI 8 Tweaks by hartec
exMIUI by Ty3uK
Some features of them:
change miui launcher row/column count
change icon size
use AOSP notification icons
allow widgets on lockscreen
center clock & signal bar on the left (like iOS)
hide battery icon, only show percentage
etc.
4.2 Disable MIUI battery saver and fix missed/late notifications
Settings > Battery & performance > Manage apps' battery usage > Off
Settings > Battery & performance > Power > Battery saver > Battery saver toggle off
Settings > Notifications & status bar > App notifications > select apps that can show floating notifications and notifications on lockscreen
Security > Permissions > Auto start > select apps that should get notifications after reboot
Security > Settings icon > Cleaner settings > Clean automatically > turn off / Update automatically > turn off
4.3 Better camera
The stock camera suffers from repeated auto focus while recording video, as well as strong image post-processing. The stock camera automatically changes to high ISO mode, on low light, which is leading to noise in the image.
An often suggested alternative to the stock camera app is Snap Camera.
4.4 Hide navigation bar
Settings > Additional settings > Buttons
Check:
Screen buttons can be hidden
Automatically disable navigation buttons
4.5 Change DPI
Changing the DPI on the Mi Mix on MIUI 8 without corrupting the Icons or having problems?
Confirmed resolutions:
MIUI default 440
Safe 370
Native resolution of the display 360.66
Lowest confirmed working 320
If you are rooted, simply install a build.props editor from Google Play and change the value of
Code:
persist.miui.density_v2 = xxx
to any DPI for xxx, and then reboot your device.
Remember to keep a copy of your original build.props file, in case anything goes wrong! If you're in a boot loop, just use the file manager in TWRP to copy your backed up build.props file over the modified one.
There may be problems with the MIUI weather app icon and MIUI calendar icon, which will be both invisible in the MIUI launcher depending on the DPI.

Hi.
It's looks very big and complicates jobs.

Thanks for the helpful guide and your comments on the other thread. I have a couple of noob follow-up questions. I managed to install TWRP and EU Rom (not root) and all works fine. Moving forward:
1. Can I root anytime now without wiping anything?
2. How do I update to the next version of EU when it is released? Do I just install via TWRP as before and will this erase anything? I don't want to have to re-install and re-setup everything.
I know these are basic questions but the number of guides out there with conflicting advice is overwhelming.
Thanks

Why do you provide gapps when in xiaomi.eu all is included?

Because the first guide written is for the Chinese Stable ROM, which doesn't contain gapps.

1. Yes, just flash SuperSu in TWRP without wiping
2. When I was on xiaomi.eu ROM with my Mi Note Pro, I had to download the full xiaomi.eu ROM and flash it in TWRP. No data will be lost.

Thanks for doing this and here is the latest EU weekly rom

I flashed this & my screen is unresponsive in TWRP.
IDK if anything in the update caused a mismatch, a la Global ROM & EU TWRP.
Also lost root, but the phone is still working otherwise.
Calling it a day, work beckons in a few hours.
If you have any suggestions, I'll check back in later today.

I flashed the fastboot China Dev ROM through XiaoMiFlash, installed gapps with google installer v2.0 apk and installed/updated google play services from apkmirror.
I want to add root, so I booted to fastboot, opened a console on my computer and typed
fastboot boot C:\twrp.img
to temporarily boot into TWRP.
TWRP touchscreen is unresponsive.
I flashed the original twrp of course (for dev and stable China ROM). The EU-TWRP is for xiaomi.eu ROM and not for Chinese Dev/Stable.
So I don't know what to do

Sorry for the noob question, but I've unlocked my Mix, but when trying to go from the Chinese Stable Rom to The Eu Rom i get a Can't Verify Update, how do I get past this?

I applied for my unlock code is the code generic since they didn't ask what device I had. Just my number name and reason

Once they give access to unlock, they will text you a link with which you download an app sign in, put phone in Factbook mode, and then follow the instructions in the app, was pretty painless.

You need to boot into fastboot, then follow the thread to flash the TWRP EU recovery. Then you need to flash the Stable ROM through TWRP EU.

Unlocking is tied to you Xiaomi Account. You can unlock your device, if you logged in with your Xiaomi account onto your device, if your account has unlocking privileges. Because my account had Unlocking privileges since 1 year, I could unlock my phone instantly after logging into my Xiaomi account, without applying for any Unlock code again.

Final Words
I am not the Developer of this Rom, i am Just Sharing this Rom, Thanks To MS ROM MIUI, The Dev of This Rom DEVELOPERS

Like this Rom but I just hope it came with Magisk not with SuperSU. Everything is good so far. Battery is good better than MIUIPRO with so many unnecessary tweaks that the battery suffers.

i like this room but no greek language

[ROM-sGSI] [ZUI 10.0]/[ZUI 5.0] From Z5 FOR Z2 Plus [Oreo]

What is this?
- sGSI of ZUI 10.0/ 5.0 from Lenovo Z5pro/Z5, based on Android 8.1.0, June 1,2018 security patch.
Since this was requested in some comments, I flashed it and found working for our device flawlessly, with some bugs.
Features?
-All features of ZUI 4 + Soft Charge, gestures, multi space ( dual apps ) etc. Split Screen is also available.
How to flash?
ZUI 10 :
1. Download the flashable zip from the links.
2. Boot to twrp, and wipe dalvik, cache, data, system and vendor.
3. Flash the zip.
4. Reboot.
ZUI 5:
Method 1 : (Recommended)
- 1. Download any treble based 8.1.x rom and ZUI5.0-sGSI.zip (link below).
[Please use MIUI 10 8.11.1 by Narshi Shukla as base ROM, as it seems it's Vendor is most compatible.]
2. Extract the zip in your storage. You will get three files ( two flashable zips and one folder "sGSI.....". [Folder name might differ, there will be only one folder, so no worries])
3. Boot into recovery and take a backup.
4. Clean flash treble based Oreo ROM that you downloaded.
5. From your twrp, use file manager to move " sGSI...." folder to backup folder of Twrp.
6. Mount system and vendor and wipe cache/delvik, data and system.
( Don't wipe firmware and Vendor )
7. Goto restore in your twrp and restore the system from "sGSI....." folder.
8. Flash the remaining two zips.
9. Flash magisk if needed.
10. Wipe cache/delvik and reboot. Done.
Method 2 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78389810&postcount=320
(You need treble based twrp, search if you don't already have).
After following all these steps, if your phone is stuck in Lenovo powered by android screen for long, then force reboot the phone and it will boot up to system.
What works?
-Here:
Call,SMS, VOLTE, Data, play store, Utouch, Fingerprint , Navigation, Double touch to wake, GCAM, Face Unlock, Hotspot, Banking apps, nearly everything.
What doesn't work?
- ROM specific. Bugs depend upon the treble ROM that you used as base. In some ROM, system sounds does not work. In MiUI 10, video recording might not work. Game Mode has some issues with global apps.
*FOR VIDEO RECORDING - see this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78219358&postcount=93 ****
*Update GPU drivers for VULKAN support. Link in the links section.***
Performance?
- Better than ZUI 4, smooth as butter, no stutter playing games like PUBG, notifications on time, decent SOT.
Can it be used as daily driver?
- Yes, if you can live with some Chinese texts in certain apps.
Any other thing?
- Because the ROM is ported from Z5 which has a notch, total area of the notification bar cannot be used. To see things like real time network speed and battery "percentage" you have to pull down the notification bar.
What should I do first after booting the device?
- Install play store from App center. Install magisk to remove bloat wares. Install any music app, since there is none. This will make the system optimal for us.
Also, Turn "True Full Screen Mode" ON in display settings for full screen in Apps.
Install Magisk and download and install "SafteyPatch V2" within Magisk to pass safetynet and hide banking apps in magisk hide to use them.
Open security app and give all important permissions to the apps you use, including system apps. Also include them in autorun/whitelist section.

******************************** FLASHING ISSUE ******************
While flashing this ROM, try to follow the guide above as strictly as possible. Use the ROM that is recommended.
If you are facing bootloop, download the vendor that is provided and restore it in twrp and then flash patch 1 and 2.
Also remember, during each and every step, your TWRP should have system and Vendor mounted. Check after every step.
Your phone might reboot once or twice during first boot, which is not an issue.
How to know if you flashed it correctly?
-If your phone boots into the system with "Lenovo bootanimation" , you flashed it correctly.
If your phone is stuck in "Lenovo - powered by android" splash image for more than 5 minutes, you got something wrong.

what about gcam nd notification bug? and one more doubt, can we flash it over treble pie ROM?

I have one question. If i install a sgsi rom can i back to trenle, non-treble rom just with a simple flash method?

GCAM is working.
Notification bug is not there. Only sometimes, it seems that we get late notification.
You have to flash it over Oreo because the GSI is Oreo based. Flashing over pie should work as well, since treble ROM is required. Take a backup of your system so you can restore easily, if you face any issue.

Yes, you can get back to the ROM you want with simple flash, no problem.

Custom kernel flashable?

Haven't tested, but should be flashable.
Edit : Custom kernel might brick the device. Will test and update.
Donot flash custom kernel, it causes self restart of device.
Note: Moxie kernels can be flashed, you should flash patch2 after flashing kernels. But, MIUI 10 comes with moxie R5.1 so no use flashing Moxie again.

link not working

Wow it's so beautiful!

I used Arrow OS 8.1 but it got stuck in bootloop and does'nt boot at all.. I followed all the steps accordingly but it did not boot up even after i kept my phone overnight to let it boot. I don't know where i did wrong.

Use MIUI 10 port of Narshi Shukla latest build. It works.
May be Arrow OS cannot be used.
You can also try using Vendor of MIUI 10 once. Restore this vendor and the system image of ZUI.
Here is the vendor:

I think only MIUI 10 rom works flawlessly for this GSI. I will update the main page details and ask to use MIUI 10 only.
You couldnot flash patch 2 because it requires vendor, and may be your vendor is now messed up.
So use MIUI 10 port, it works without any issue.

Glad To hear.

So in whatever rom I am in Oreo , I can use that firmware if I use vendor only from your backup? And shouldn't wipe it?

Well, that's how some people got this working, so yes, it's working that way as well. ( Your ROM should be treble based though )
I will attach the "Vendor" file in the main post as well, so other members can use it too.

Nice work

SHRP is now officialy supported.

Flash to active slot doesn't work, it still flashes roms or updates to inactive slot

Is there a .img file of the recovery? I mean, the .zip file suppose we're already on TWRP to flash. Am I wrong?

does it support official android 10 rom, i have used it on android 9 but not on android 10, it either boots into fastboot or recovery, meaning i cant boot to rom,
very elegant recovery though, and thanks to the developer oddlyspaced (interesting name)

There's and unofficial img file of this recovery, which can be found here: https://github.com/oddlyspaced/shrp_xiaomi_laurel_sprout/releases
It's not linked because official shrp is only supposed to be an installer.

It does support official Android 10 ROM. It always did. Not sure about your issue. Can you describe you take to flash the rom?

this recovery works fine on android 9, but if i flash the img file on android 10 it (stock rom) it boots to fastboot and some time it boots to recovery and only in recovery, if i press reboot to rom it boots to recovery not in rom.

The img file is not supported for Android 10 as of now, since the sources aren't yet updated for 10. However the installer works fine.

Is there persist.img flashing feature

Ensure you perform a proper clean flash on the right base and make sure you are formatting data using the specified TWRP or OrangeFox for Android 13

I've installed the orange fox for Android 13 roms and had a bug that caused the data partition not being able to mount and it wouldn't flash any rom so i had to downgrade , but ill try it again in the near future, so i need to update my orange fox then clean install the android 13 rom

If you are on Android 13, you should not have any mounting issues unless you have something messed up. Keep in mind that the recoveries are tested extensively before posting

I am on Android 12 as for this moment, i have the Evo x 6.5 omega.

I know that, but it is not the question i did. Simply i can avoid to reflash the original MIUI if i know the version i have already installed previously. Anyway i reflashed the original firmware before installing evox 7.1 to be sure.

There is a separate recovery for each Android version. So I don't understand why you are using an OrangeFox for Android 13 on Android 12. Stick to the specifications and follow instructions

Just flash the latest firmware if you are not sure what you have. You don't need to flash the entire MIUI 13.0.2.0 stock rom

- Install latest TWRP you can find in the other thread (using fastboot).
- Flash the lastest MIUI via adb sideload and perform a format data (backup your data before this).
- Reboot to system and let the MIUI to run.
- When the MIUI is ready (on the welcome page), reboot the phone in fastboot.
Then:
- Flash the TWRP again via fastboot (the MIUI restore the standard boot).
- Reboot in recovery mode (TWRP).
- Flash the new evox via adb sideload
- Format data
Reboot to system.
There is nothing else to do or explain. It must works.
Evox 7.1 works a lot better then 6.5. I have a good improvement in performance and battery life.
If you want to root when you have configured the phone and it is ready to be used:
- install root explorer from google play store
- download and install magisk app downloading the apk from github and installing it by root explorer (i recommend to not allow the browser to install apks).
- on the pc, extract the boot.img from the evox zip.
- attach the phone to the pc and transfer the boot.img to the phone.
- run magisk and patch the boot.img
- transfer the patched image to the pc
- reboot the phone in fastboot
- flash the patched boot.img via fastboot
- reboot to system
Enjoy!

Thanks i must have missed this for sure , im pretty basic at this custom rom stuff thanks a lot

Double tap to wake does not work after ~5 seconds after screen off (after the always on display dims down)
* Might be related to a broken screen replacement.
* I DID verify that the problem is a software problem - flashed xiaomi.eu rom and it DOES work there.
* I'm NOT at all sure it worked even with original screen (screen was fully functional, just a few cracks in the glass)
Update:
Tried derpfest and project elixir, same problem.
also found this on pixel-experience github issue tracker...
exactly the same issue - AOD becomes too dim and tap to wake stops working.
seems it's a known problem.
