Xiaomi Mi Max - Part 2

[Nakedtoes]

Mi MIX, a conceptional phone, a prototype or "beta" model in that context, and with a price tag of between $800-$1k. No no!

Aiyah. That time u canceled the deal.. If not u should be holding and using the 256gb until Chao sng already.. What is mi max. Lol

Just add on.

You still need to check coz there have been 1 or 2 cases of 3rd party or hacked Global rom + Playstore being reported. Those rom will not get OTA.



If you are not too sure after getting the new set, post screen shot of About Phone and post it here for us to double check.

Thank you.

Sour grapes drama....

However, I may regret now if I have not cancelled the Mi MIX order as for that price tag, Mi MIX camera is still a lower than average! A blessing in sour grape lah!

Qc3.0

Anyone using QC3 charger? Does it really cut down the charging time by a lot? If so, any charger to recommend?

QC2.0 is slow on charging max. takes about 4hrs to fully charged.
using aukey QC3.0, not more than 3hrs fully charged.

The photos from the camera are actually quite good. Of cos serious photo taking I is using d750 with my primes lenses.. Bad thing is u didn't get to use and touch and molest this chio phone but the cold and hard MAX. Recent deal 256gb at 700 is a steal... Great many bros caught it

Ya! I saw the deal actually.....but I have totally forgo the Mi MIX already!

Thats a dead model even in China. Not very well receive by consumer.
Wait for Mi6 to be launched on APR/11, currently priced at rmb1999.

Well. My next new phone must has a solid camera especially in low light. Don't tell me about S8, I don't like the curved screen.

hopefully mixmax2 come out soon.

mimax camera over saturated yellowish photos under florescent lighting condition is terrible.

 

[1982-1994]

i don't expect high quality pics from the price i paid.

anyway, does the quality depend on the firmware too?

Yap! Bug with 8.2.1.0! Just lower the saturation to "Lower" for the time being under florescent lighting condition.

Before 8.2.1.0, it wasn't there. Hopefully that the 8.2.3.0 fixed it.

Are you with 32 or 64/128? . I have the 128

32 model is on 8.2.3.0 now. Not fixed yet?

Yap! If want good camera especially in low light / Night, Mi Max or even Mi Max 2 is not going to make it lah!

As for the camera quality improvement o different firmware. It does to a very small extend. The limitation is the camera hardware used. Software can't push much.

I thought that the current Android 7 based Developer rom improved the low light quality just a bit?

I think if i remember not wrongly, you need to mount partition at the twrp manual. As for what mounting, kinda forget lol.

====
11. TWRP can ask for password, press cancel and allow modifications by moving slider.
If you just need ROOT and your current rom, skip to the step 16. Also there is a recovery from boot in system folder. If you won't remove it, recovery may be replaced with stock one after reboot. Keep it that way if you want OTAs.
12. Format data.
13. Enable MTP and put modified zip in your phone.
14. Go to mounts and unmount system **
15. Flash your rom.
16. Flash latest supersu.
17. Reboot the phone.
In case u got NO OS message, then it means that u probably ignored step 15.
Also first boot may take like 15-20 minutes, since eu rom is deodexed.
Just to be sure, after installation mount system partition and navigate to the /system folder using TWRP's file manager and make sure it's not empty.

* In my case system didn't install because script could mount system partition since it was already mounted.

Today, I have plenty of time. So, after re-reading, I'm trying to install twrp and eu.rom 8.2.2.0 again...

....At the moment, my Mi Max is booting up after installation of eu.rom 8.2.2.0....Fingers and legs crossed.....hopefully it goes well...Kekeke!

In the worse case scenario if I don't like the eu.rom, I can just enter EDL mode again in eu.rom and miFlash back to official Global rom, right?

I see. I can't remember which previous version of "good" non-yellow fever rom. Let me check the China based eu.rom 8.2.2.0 which I'm setting it up now to see if such yellow fever happend in China based rom as well.

Will report back later so that we at least, have an idea what is going on or if MIUI team has fixed it in other versions of ROM.

 

[kelvinti]

Finally, managed to install twrp and flash to eu.rom 8.2.2.0! First time on Mi Max or rather on Xiaomi device! A bit scary sia being a virgin...but WTF...just take the risk lah, else never learned!

Big Thank to few of you who have advised me and guided me through...

 

[1982-1994]

first time?

 

[kelvinti]

first time?

In a way, this is my first time on Xiaomi device, with Mi Max Prime, successfuly!

2 days ago, I screwed it!

The last time I played with twrp and custom rom thingy was on HTC One X many years back! That's why I have became super rusty about this stuffs!

 

[1982-1994]

ok. just curious got miui 7 eu ROM boh.
