Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite | MIUI Global Beta gets Pie!

[MazeMoyuX]

Hello! i have Good News, People in the MIUI Global Beta Program are getting Android 9.0 Pie!

What I have noticed currently:

The Space Between the Apps and Notch has disappeared.
The "Hide-Notch" Feature doesn't use the Notch Area as a Status Bar Area Anymore now, It now completely hides the notch, only leaving the LCD Backlight.
Camera2API is still not supported.

Cool! Is it faster or has battery improvements if you noticed anything by now?

Is there an estimated release date available?

 

[Shillopellos9]

Global Beta is available officially if you want it now, as for the Stable i'm not sure when it will be released

I was really disappointed seeing Redmi Note 7 coming with Camera2 Api enabled and the 8 Lite still with it disabled. There is no excuses for that.

It has only been a day of using it, i have not seen if it has better Battery Life, the performance seems to be the same as the phone on Oreo.

Yeah, it really does suck, they didn't even enable some Camera2API features, just none of it.

If rooted, it is easy enough to add to the system/build.prop. Sure it is a PiTA, but once added, it works well. Saving in RAW mode was pretty important to me which made rooting my device well worth it. I will wait for the official release version, or an ASOP ROM when one becomes available.

Can it be installed with the "local update" method (from the Global Oreo based release) or it must be installed withc "fast boot" udpate method?

You mean stable to beta ROM?

Probably you will need to install 9.1.17 Oreo beta and then update to 9.2.15 Pie. It'll erase your data but that's it. You can do it with MIUI installer without trouble.

I got a Mi 8 Lite Global 8.1 Beta Rom and flashed that a week ago, i later got the 9.0 beta update once it came out.
