Anyone have tested this? Is there any improvements from V8.2.1.0 or still prefer the old V8.1.2.0? So, here i am waiting for feedback.

How is your experience with the temperature & battery life? Can you share some screenshots of your SOT? Did the bugs at V8.2.1.0 finally fixed in V8.2.4.0?

Bet this rom weighs more than an average car....
I was using stock 8.2.1 Global Stable. After auto-updating to 8.2.4, had sound glitches, unlock lag and Telegram bugs I've never seen before. I don't recommend to migrate to this version from 8.2.1.
I haven't had any sound glitches or unlock lag (I don't use telegram).
As for battery life it's great, 2 days use, 6 hours SOT so far and I have 50% battery left (4G on all the time).

5th day with the phone. i got it update it to 8.2.4, charged it, unlocked bootloader, installed twrp/root and i had about 10 hours sot during a 3 day period on 2g and a little 3g and wifi disable when screen is off. those 10 hours included a lot of restarts that consume energy a lot of copying things via wifi browsing messenging and a few calls. no problems so far hope i helped.
This update don't bring big changes. Don't understand why you afraid of update. All work's fine including battery life and performances.
Upd:
1. Sound issues and Telegram bugs - no more. One-time glitch?
2. Usual Xiaomi micro-lags when switching apps seem to disappear. So 8.2.4.0 feels way more smooth for me.
3. Battery life - no noticeable changes.
4. MiPicks app added along with annoying ads.
I wonder Why eu version not yet published ?
Sorry for this silly question, how can i update to 8.2.4 if I have TWRP recovery? Can I just take OTA update or do I need to flash the zip file via TWRP?

You'll have to flash via TWRP cause the OTA uses the built in Xiaomi recovery (which you dont have anymore since you installed TWRP).

Yeah you should wipe the cache and davlik cache at least before flashing the new rom. Full wipe would be best.
To get root you'll have to re-flash the super su zip file after you flash the rom.
Re' 8.2.4.0 global
Just did a clean full wipe and flashed epic zip again for another try, though I still have noticeable battery drain.
Thinking of going 8.2.4.(and then uninstalling a few apps n' make a few minor mods for better battery life)
I have twrp installed, read somewhere I can not get rom updates via OTA due to this. (As MIUI recovery is needed for update?) Is that true?
In which case does that mean when there is a new global rom update, and I flash zip in twrp(if that's the case) I would lose my settings and aps? (Guess I would) Or as it's newer/similar global update could I get my settings back from mi cloud or Titanium back up?
Tired of changing roms and then setting up all the apps.
Sorry if this a newbie type question.
Thanks for any info (=
Tried to delete my last post, without luck, found answer/s in other threads (=

Lol nothing real noticeable or mind blowing, pretty sure it's just some tweaks under the hood and patches.
Mobile hotspot not working to good. Although I didn't factory reset after update, something I usually do cause things tend to not work right. Until I do can't say too much about it.
Does this have the latest radio from At&t?

The KS for posting this. When debloated, deiq'd and greenfield I find stock far smoother than the various variants derived from an international base.
Installed this ROM on my wife's new phone last night using Bump TWRP. Everything seems to work great which is what i want. Thanks.
Was concerned about the infamous overheating problem about this phone with simple video playback. Play video (not game) for a few hours and can barely feel the temperature difference. May be the problem is about video game but that is not my concern.
@1Cwulf: Care to elaborate on the "some tweaks" that you mention in the second post? I tried the international ROM, and it has a few lttle issues that is making me want to try back a proper D850 ROM.

Just something to help with lag and possibly improve battery life a bit.
Its not intended to be a full feature Rom (at least not atm), just something as close to stock without losing functionality.

Unroot before updating from OTA or else you will face bootloop. If you have the recovery rom you may be able to flash thru recovery. I haven't tried it though.
After installation, you can root it easily again.

Got me into a bootloop but that may be because i was using a twrp as recovery, but yeah the update didn't go ok, got a bootloop, was forced to recover my phone through fastboot, then the fastboot file on xiaomi's website was actually giving the latest file the one i just announced in this thread, the link was broken, so i had to use beta file, I flashed the beta, then through Mi-recovery i am flashing stable.
Now on stable Ill try to update to the latest stabel (the announced on this thread) will report back.
updated, everything went smooth, the failure earlier may have been due to the custom recovery.

Got myself in a boot loop as well due to previous root as I didn't unroot. Is there a way to flash via fastboot without deleting all current user data stored? I'd like to avoid setting everything up again. Or at least a way to still rescue what is still on it right now? Would be glad for any assistance.
its not glabal stable its a beta rom. don't flash bros!! still many bugs there. battery drains like hell
After several weeks of battling terrible battery drain, lag and sluggish performance I am back on Stock Nougat, build number NPJS25.93-14-8. With moderate use, my battery is now averaging less than 2% per hour ( < 1% while sleeping), where on the custom ROM of choice it was running over 5% per hour, even while sleeping. I tried every trick and tweak I could find and Better Battery Stats didn't show anything that could account for the high drain. I even tried a different ROM to no avail. So I threw in the towel, returned to stock, and did the latest OTA updates. I am now running rooted with ElementalX kernel 1.04 and I couldn't be more pleases with the overall performance and battery life.
I am sure it was something I missed but I got tired of spending hours trying to get back to the original performance and battery life the custom ROM had several weeks ago. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

None of STOCK ROM or OTA updates can be flashed/updated by TWRP, you need to be on stock recovery as well everything stock (unmodified system, boot and all).
I faced this problem too, but I fixed mostly of the battery drain tweaking the kernel with the ElementalX app to ~0,80/h. I had to set the little cores working like big cores do, because all little cores and one big were in use always; and applied LightingBlade profile.

In order to use the OTA path you have to be on stock recovery, boot and kernel, not on TWRP. Otherwise you get the error that you experienced.

I went that path but it didn't seem to help much. Besides, I am happy with this stock setup. It is much better than when I was on Marshmallow stock and went over to custom ROMs. I can do anything I want to do and install any app I desire to use. Good performance, great battery life, and customizable as much as I want. No need to be on custom.

Instead of asking questions that have been answered numerous times (ad nauseam) you should try reading through the forums.

But don't do anything until you have read through the procedures and fully understand. Above all, make a backup of your system from TWRP before you do anything else.

If you're rooting on stock Nougat, you must have a custom kernel flashed (or used the temporary dm-verity disabler on the stock kernel) before you root. Else, without the mentioned modifications, you'll trip the anti-rooting protection built into the stock kernel, and you'll have bootloops unless you reflash your stock ROM as you experienced.
Easiest way, as per the guide is to:
Flash/boot TWRP.
Backup.
Flash ElementalX or vegito (any custom kernel will do, as these kernels do not have the anti-rooting protection).
Reboot to test.
Boot back to TWRP
Flash SuperSU v2.79 or newer, or magisk 13 or newer
Reboot.
You should be rooted, on stock, and if you've flashed magisk, Safetynet should be working It's working well on NPJS25.93-14-8 and it's stable. Granted, a few apps now seem to detect root/magisk (and fail to download/update from the Play Store, with an error 0), but nothing that a sideload from a legitimate source wouldn't solve...

Hi, sorry for ask, do you know where can i find the temporary dm-verity disabler?
I tried with a script named "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" (this works for the G5 Plus 'Potter') but i haven't had any success. Even i unpacked the stock boot.img and i tried to manually patch it, but i failed here too.
Honestly i would like to test the stock kernel, because i never used it, i am always attached to flashing EX to get root access. Thank you in advance.

I don't know if this will still work on later builds than the November/December 2016 builds, but here's the kernel with dm-verity disabled: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...t-how-to-root-n-firmware-npj25-93-11-t3532556 Seems to cause bootloops though on the later builds however
Strictly speaking, I misspoke - it's not really a dm-verity disabler, more a stock kernel with dm-verity disabled. I think EX kernel is still the more stable and more reliable option. It would be nice to be able to root the stock kernel though...

Oh, i see, thanks for your response. I'll look into it to see how he did to by-pass the dm verity, and try to modify the last boot.img that we have.
I mentioned earlier in this thread about getting Error 0 whilst updating apps in Google Play. As it turns out, thanks to this tip here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73552496&postcount=57 it appears to be an error with permissions on the /data/media partition.

You may wish to back up your data with TWRP or ensure you have your photos and videos somewhere safe prior to flashing this.
Reboot to TWRP and backup your device.
Flash the above script.zip in TWRP and wait for it to complete. (it should be fixing the permissions in /data/media)
Reboot and you should be able to download/update apps again from Google Play afterwards. You may have to uninstall the app and re-install the app if it keeps failing.
I've got this working on a XT1642 running June 2017 stock ROM, rooted with magisk 13.3 and apps including Snapchat and Google Chrome update without issue now.

Useful info, this happened to me a couple of days ago. I thought it was something related to the integrated Chrome WebView in conflict with the system WebView, because it only happened when i tried to update Chrome, or any of his variants (dev, beta, canary, etc). Thanks.
This is a list of Nougat ROMs for this device and it's clones.
The list will be in the following format:
ROM : Version : Device : Tested/Untested
LineageOS : 14.1 : MMXC5 / E481 : Untested
Resurrection Remix : 5.8.4 : MMXC5 / E481 : Tested
crDROID : v3.5 : MMXC5 / E481 : Tested
AOSGPX : 7.1.2 : MMXC5 / E481 : Untested
There are also ROMs for the Elephone P8000, however the first time I tried one I got into a bootloop. It could just have been that I didn't wipe my caches, or it could have been a fault in the ROM; nonetheless I haven't tried any others from that device.
I couldn't find any for other devices, let me know if you see others.
Here is the factory firmware, as according to this post (Direct Download).

Im currently running crDroid and I couldn't be happier. Runs far better than the original firmware and the useless marshmallow update.

Have you encountered any bugs with crDroid? Did screen on time and standby increase by any good margin because doze and other os optimizations? With stock I get 7hrs SOT with LTE half the day. 5hrs if Skype calls and such.

Only bug so far is the kill app button not working (long press the back button) and sometimes after reboot sim cards not being detected. Usually it corrects itself after a few minutes. If not, I'll just re-flash the fix
Battery gets drained pretty fast compared to lollipop, but then again I used lollipop with xposed, greenify and amplify.

Happy to hear only minor bugs. I'm waiting on black Friday SD card to ship and then I'll be able to test too.
On lollipop all I needed to use was power nap to kill unwanted wake locks. I'll definitely try to get it to work because batter life is important to me. Only reason I'm upgrading is because of older exploits that stock didn't get updates for. Other than that stock with xposed is extremely stable for me.(30-60 days between reboots)
Do you know if crDroid is using stock lollipop kernel or is it a ported kernel? That would effect battery life greatly I suppose.
review of roms
Review time. Installed and tested these roms by wiping dalvik cache, system, data, cache and internal storage. Flashed ROM then gapps then "front camera flash" patch lastly flashed sim patch. Afterwards I wiped cache and dalvik cache again before rebooting. Once I had access to settings I disabled display live/night mode/blue filter for all ROMs.
All the roms tested used about 1GB of ram (and stock ROM being around <600MB.).
Resurrection Remix : 5.8.4 : Looks to me a part of this rom was made by another group of people that were not given credit.. Default browser loads the homepage of the other group. The system FM radio app was asking for root permission(denied it). Also it had email services running before I added any accounts can't remember this being the norm. Other than that this ROM ran the best in terms of speed and ui. Uninstalled because of security concerns.
LineageOS : 14.1 : This ROM has about the same speed as resurrection which is good but the ui stuttered/not smooth. Uninstalled because ported by same user as resurrection.
crDROID : v3.5 : This one ran the worse. It was slow and stuttered throughout the ui. Missed some customizations that Resurrection had so not sure why any one would want to use this instead.
AOSGPX : Didn't bother installing because last I heard they copied and pasted code from crDRoid.
At the end of the day I reverted back to stock because of security concerns. As well as having more ram available for apps. If I had more than one phone phone I would wireshark/test connections of the ROMs to confirm but I do not have. Hopfully this helps someone.

Just wondering with the ROM testing, did you disable the LiveDisplay nonsense? It drops my FPS to about 10, and is enabled by default.
Sorry, didn't read your whole post. I didn't find UI stuttering unless I enabled weird kernel stuff, or had L Speed installed.
Does anyone happen to know if any of these ROMs fix the problem that the official MM caused which was that all camera apps created a very dark image and took extremely dark photos?

Im using crDroid and yes, it fixes it. That is one of the main reasons why I decided to keep it and got rid of Marshmallow.

Hmm... sounds good. Any issues with that ROM? Slow downs, wonky USB port, minijack works ok, etc?

sucktastic battery life (not like the original firmware was good to begin with) no compass (gmaps will point north regardless of your orientation) as soon as you install the google app (okay google!) the device will run a bit slower.

Oh, ok... well in that case, that doesn't exactly help things. I'm gonna go back to Lollipop rooted to take out the bloatware. Can you recommend a way of doing that that is known to work well?

SP flash tool, scatter file and the original firmware (not a flashable zip). It's all in the original BLOX thread, buried somewhere there. Flash TWRP recovery using adb fastboot and flash super su with twrp recovery for root access.

Wow, thorough, thanks. Don't know what half those things are but I'll look them up. I guess there's no way to go straight back to Lollipop without flashing a stock ROM. I mean, by rooting it now maybe and then downgrading or something?

You could flash a lollipop twrp backup, if anyone uploaded one or if you made one before. But if you don't have it, only way is by sp flash tool and original firmware (which is not a recovery flashable zip).
Been using the Crdroid rom for a few weeks now. Havn't had any lag or extreme battery issues. Im interested in trying the resurrection remix rom since it was tested to be the fastest, tho them security issues are kinda holding me back. One thing im lookin for is front camera flash and back aswell. on Crdroid u cannot toggle it in the camera app, tho the flash works.

What are these security issues people are mentioning? Isn't a ROM a ROM? I don't get it.
Also, if crDroid works fine, you could just try any other camera app. There are several that are quite good. I wish there were videos of crDroid.

I mean with what's going on with Kaspersky being investigated for allowing certain trogens to work undetected and Kaspersky is own by Russians and since when does fm radio need root access.
Just a bit sketchy you know... But it could be just over-thinking it.

Thanks as you know you might be the First one with the NEW rom 131 so we all need your thoughts especialy about camera, daylight photos oversharpines....Most of users saying that daylight photos are good but most of the times HDR makes them unnatural with oversharpines effect with AI on or off....
What do you think about that after update???
Whats the changelog given? I already have 131 on my india model out of the box...want to compare the changelog with mine

OK. Sure.
But it will take time.
I'm not a professional shooter, so basically I probably won't notice the differences too fast.
One thing I have observed is that the portrait selfie mode was improved, it's more natural.
Others I will test.
But again: with HuRupdater you can update easely.
(downloading 3 of 4 files from update packages: the choice is between clt-l09 and clt-l29, after that renaming and flash via twrp. See corresponding thread)
Interesting.. so it seems indeed that many of the under the hood changes are not always mentioned in the change log.
Yeah please keep us posted on the camera improvements and performance and power consumption.

How about the front-camera, can you turn off beauty mode? i set it to 0 but still on almost the same.
I've just tried to update using the HuRUpdater method but wasn't able to boot afterwards. Tried flashing twice but it just wouldn't boot to system. I've restored the TWRP backup I made before flashing and got back into system, now settings says I'm on .131 but I can't be if I just restored a .128 backup, right?
What's everyone's update method? Did you place custom recovery in the folder too or flash without? Wipe cache/dalvik after? Boot to system first before flashing Magisk or just flash directly after HuRUpdater script?
Want to try again but just wanted to check if I've missed something? Thanks!
just flashed with hurupdater, no problems at all, had to reflash twrp and magisk though... i guess the real improvement are the june security patches

Did you use official or unofficial TWRP?
You need to use unofficial twrp as only that one can decrypt storage (remove security settings first: no pin/ fingerprint).

Tried re-downloading the firmware and flashing again without including TWRP in the flashing process and still got bootloop! I just can't figure out why it's not working. I'm tempted to try to update using NoCheck Recovery but that's how I bricked last time, so I'm apprehensive :/

I created a new folder with inside the hurupdater script and the three zips downloaded from firmware finder, no recovery img or else.
flashed the script, wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted straight to system.
rebooted to fastboot to reflash the praetoriano recovery, reboot to recovery to flash magisk and that's it.
I'm afraid i cannot help further
I see here P20 Pro users get new update 131, but just with FunkyHuawei and TWRP manual. No one gets updated from OTA. And if you looking the Huawei offical (in China) forum, they still didnt release new updates. So is this a beta updated from FunkyHuawei or how did they get it?

The cn firmware was updated too to version B123.
Remember, they have different numbers. Ex. Their B123 version is newer than our B131.
Look at production numbers in Fw.
