Download MIUI 10 Global Stable for Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro and Mi 8 Lite

MIUI 10 Global was announced back in June. The latest version of Xiaomi’s software for the international market brings system optimizations to make the device faster, nature-inspired sounds and effects, full-screen gestures, and a redesign of the recent apps overview and other elements of the user interface. The Global Stable update has been slowly making its way to more Xiaomi devices. Now, it’s time for the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro and Mi 8 Lite.

The Mi 8 Pro has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 like the regular Mi 8, but it also has a pressure-sensitive in-display fingerprint scanner. The Mi 8 Lite is a mid-range device with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660. Both of these devices launched internationally with MIUI 9 Global Stable, the download links for which we’ve posted before previously. It was just a matter of time until they received the MIUI 10 Global Stable, too. To refresh your memory, the Global version of MIUI has more localization options than just Mandarin and English and comes with Google Play Services pre-installed. Devices receive a Global Stable version after extensive testing during the Global Beta versions, so you shouldn’t be afraid of any bugs.

To install MIUI 10 Global Stable on the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro and Mi 8 Lite, all you have to do is sideload the recovery ROM via MIUI Updater in the settings so long as you’re on the latest MIUI 9 Global Stable. Alternatively, you can flash the update via TWRP if you have an unlocked bootloader.

The download links for the MIUI 10 Global Stable ROMs for both the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro and Mi 8 Lite are linked below. You can also check the Mi 8 Pro forums below. You’ll see all kinds of custom ROMs, kernels and other mods there.

Google Play Store now recommends installing previously installed apps for new devices

So, I recently received the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 as I like the idea of a slim bezel phone without having a notch at the top. However, I noticed that it was having some horrible idle battery drain even in airplane mode with just WiFi enabled. I installed BetterBatteryStats to analyze the issue and it seems to have something to do with the alarms from Google Play Services and Xiaomi Service Framework. So I did a factory reset to try to get the software as fresh as possible, but during the setup process, when updating my apps, I noticed that the Play Store had asked me if I wanted to install applications that I have used on previous devices.

A couple of other XDA team members had noticed this when setting up the Galaxy Note 9 recently and another noticed it after flashing the November factory image on the Pixel 2 XL. Then, our Editor-in-Chief saw the same notice when setting up the Huawei Mate 20 X. So it seems as if Google began to slowly test this feature over the last couple of months and has now begun to roll the feature out to more people. For those who have a new phone that’s just being set up, be sure to check the application updates tab within the Play Store as that is where we’re seeing this message.

For those of you who disable auto updates for your apps, you’ll find this message in the same area of your updates tab. After recently setting up a new phone, Google has started to recommend that you install apps you’ve used before on other devices. In this specific screenshot, Mishaal was told that Google was aware of 10 different apps that he used on previous devices. I know there are a number of apps that I always install when I am setting up a new device and it is a pain to go through and search for each of them.

Naturally, you don’t have to install all of them or install any at all. Google offers you a Review All button to tap that lets you go through and pick out which apps from the Play Store that you want to install on your new device.

How to install the One UI beta on the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+

Samsung recently launched their latest One UI beta for the Exynos Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. One UI is Samsung’s newest version of Samsung Experience, formally TouchWiz, based on Android Pie. This beta was launched in Germany, South Korea, and the United States. The US has been a bit luckier and all the Snapdragon Galaxy S9 series devices have already had the builds leaked.

Thanks to XDA Senior Member SoLdieR9312, we now have the OTAs for Exynos phones along with firmware.science for the Snapdragon phones. If you install these updates you will not receive OTA updates from your carrier or Samsung.

Here is a video on the XDA TV YouTube Channel showing how to install the OneUI beta on your device. Use the download links below for the files and the video for instructions.

Exynos Models:

Samsung Galaxy S9 update Galaxy S9 Forums

1. First, download Odin 3.13.1, the update.zip for BRJ6 to ZRKA, and the BRJ6 Odin files.
2. If you have an SD Card in your Galaxy S9, copy the update.zip to the SD Card. If you don’t have an SD Card, skip this step.
3. Open the Odin files. The zip will be named SM-G960F_1_20181031161553_2yj261n7q7_fac.zip. In it, you will see six files. In Odin, you will see 5 categories, though you will only use 4.
4. Put your Galaxy S9 into Odin mode by turning it off then holding Power + Volume Down + Bixby button.

Open Odin and put the corresponding BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC, but nothing in Userdata. This might erase all the data on your phone.

1. Hit start.
2. Your phone will flash the new firmware and then reboot.
3. After you do this, wait about 5 minutes and then shut off your phone and reboot into recovery by holding Power + Volume Up + Bixby.
4. Now use the BRJ6 to ZRKA OTA for this update.
5. Use the volume buttons and power to select “apply update from SD card.” If you do not have an SD Card, skip to step 12.
6. Use the volume buttons again to select the update.zip file and the power button to select it. The update will then start. The update can take between 2 to 10 minutes. Once you finish this step, skip to step 13.
7. If you don’t have an SD Card, use the volume buttons to select the “apply update from adb” option. Then open a command prompt/Terminal on your PC and type:

   adb sideload <file location of update.zip>

and hit enter. The update will start and take 2 to 10 minutes. 

 Reboot your phone and enjoy the One UI beta

New Android Oreo Beta Rolling Out to the Exynos Galaxy S8 Brings Bug Fixes and January Security Patch

November, Samsung launched the Android Oreo beta program for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+, which we reviewed in detail. Since then, the beta program’s been expanded to more countries and updated with the December 2017 Android security patch

A week ago, a notice in the Samsung Experience application indicated that the Android 8.0 Oreo beta would end on January 15. Now, Samsung’s started rolling out a beta build that might be the last, considering the rumored end date’s only a few days away.

SamMobile received the update on an Indian, Exynos-based variant of the Galaxy S8, but the publication said that it should be rolling out in other markets where the beta’s officially supported.

The beta for the Exynos Galaxy S8 bumps the version number to ZRA5, and has a download size of 593MB. It contains the January 1, 2018 security patch and other fixes, including for bugs that caused the phone to freeze, crash, and rapidly lose battery power.

In order to install the latest beta, head to Settings > Software on your smartphone and tap the Download updates manually button. Samsung’s expected to start rolling out the stable Oreo update for the devices in the coming weeks, but as of publication time, the company hasn’t announced the rollout’s start date. Gopal Karneedi
