Xiaomi EU releases unofficial MIUI 10 for Xiaomi devices

As surprising as it may be, Xiaomi devices are known for having an active development scene here on the XDA forums. Most of the custom development on Xiaomi phones that users come to our forums for is related to AOSP-based custom ROMs like LineageOS, CarbonROM, Pixel Experience, Resurrection Remix, and more. Fans of Xiaomi’s MIUI may know of Xiaomi EU, a ROM that doesn’t reside on our forums. While the name may make you think it’s official, Xiaomi EU is actually an unofficial project that releases MIUI builds for many Xiaomi devices. Today, they’ve released their MIUI 10 builds for many devices like the Xiaomi Mi 6, Xiaomi Mi 8, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, and more.

Xiaomi EU is a custom ROM based on MIUI China Developer ROM. The custom ROM includes all of the features from stock MIUI but also includes a few of their own tweaks to unlock hidden features or improve upon existing features. Also, they integrate Google Play apps and services by default and include more languages apart from Mandarin and English so more people can live on the bleeding edge of Xiaomi’s MIUI.

Currently, Xiaomi EU’s MIUI 10 release is available for a handful of devices. These devices are:

  • Xiaomi Mi 5
  • Xiaomi Mi 6
  • Xiaomi Mi 8
  • Xiaomi Mi 8 SE
  • Xiaomi Mi Mix
  • Xiaomi Mi Mix 2
  • Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S
  • Xiaomi Mi Note 2
  • Xiaomi Redmi 5
  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro
Here’s the changelog provided by the Xiaomi.EU developer team for the MIUI 10 China Developer ROM 8.6.19 release:

  • To install Xiaomi EU’s custom ROM onto your device, you’ll need a bootloader unlocked device. To unlock the bootloader on your Xiaomi device, follow this link.
  • Next, you need to install TWRP on your device. Just head to the official website of the custom recovery, find your device, and download the img file. We recommend you rename the file to twrp.img.

Did Einstein believe Indians were stupid? His diaries suggest so By  Robin Sinha ,  15 June 2018 Revelations made in a book compiling Albert Einstein's travel diaries have sparked a debate on the scientist's views of race and of people from India, Sri Lanka and China (Getty file photo) In 1946, physicist Albert Einstein, speaking at an American college that was the first to give degrees to black people, denounced racism in a speech that birthed one of his most popular quotes: "Racism is a disease of white people."
