[ROM][6.0.1] MIUI 8 | NEXUS 6P | 0.2b [14/06/2017]

[dariolob]

Hey xda! After a long time being retired from development, I decided to get back to work porting MIUI for our sweet Nexus 6P. Yes, this is not the only MIUI port available, but it's the most updated one, plus I've gone through some bug fixing to make it usable as a daily driver. That having been said, it has some minor bugs that will be fixed over time, also thanks to your future reports.


Changelog:

0.2b
Removed su binaries, now the ROM should be 100% root free - use MAGISK V13 to root
Removed MIUI Whetstone app/perms, no more crashes! - Thanks MrCreel for the tip!
Fixed MMS, hopefully!
Fixed some build.prop inconsistencies

Installation Instructions:

Prerequisites:

In order for the ROM to work correctly, you must be on a MM (6.0.1) base. If you're coming from Nougat, you can flash a 6.0.1 bootloader, radio and vendor! Download them here and flash through fastboot:

BOOTLOADER - RADIO - VENDOR​

Installation:

- Download MIUI
- In TWRP, wipe data, cache, dalvik and system
- BEFORE flashing, reboot to recovery again
- Flash the ROM (just ignore the data warning during flash)
- Reboot and enjoy!

If your SIM card isn't recognized don't worry: just reboot your phone and it will work fine!

Some important notice:
- First boot will be LONG! Be patient, if you follow the instructions correctly, the phone will boot, it'll just take some extra time.
- When performing the initial setup, be sure to select ENGLISH as main language (you can select your correct region though), otherwise MiCloud will crash. I'm trying to fix this, but ATM I still have no clue about this strange behaviour. After completing the initial setup, you can set your preferred language in settings!

Bugs:

- Initial setup partially broken - follow the instructions above to get over it!
- Advanced audio settings (EQ,Dirac, etc) crash - working on it

If you want to help me as much as possible, attach a logcat when reporting a bug! Don't know what a logcat is? See HERE

Thanks for coming back to maintain MIUI for the 6P man. I haven't ran MIUI since my Galaxy Nexus days, but I'm definitely excited to try it out on a stable release.

Everything seems to be working fine, but I can't get data to work, which is a deal breaker to me so I'll have to go back to my previous rom for now...
Great job with the rom btw
