MIUI 8 Marshmallow ROM for Yureka and Yureka Plus [Patchrom Based]

The new version of MIUI is indeed colorful with its redesigned beautiful UI. System app like Dialer, Calendar, Contacts are more colorful and the color tones used are more refreshing. The notification shade now offers a much more dynamic experience, with core functions exposed and hidden through delicate scrolling. The system UI is now smoother and battery backup is much improved. Many new features are also added.

This MIUI 8 Beta PatchROM is based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. This Custom ROM is built from Official MIUI 8 Patchrom which is fully translated into English and is multilingual. Thus, this MIUI 8 is actually a Global version with features of China Developer build.

Remember this MIUI 8 ROM is not an official release from MIUI team so don’t expect zero bug.

Disclaimer: This ROM has been tested and verified to be stable for daily use but there may be some unknown bugs. The development team is not responsible for any damage to your device or your information.

Bugs And Workarounds

No Signal/SIM icon on Statusbar when using dual SIMs
It is just a SystemUI bug, SIMs are actually working. This is a bug of MIUI PatchROM source so cannot be fixed from my side. :D

Workaround: Just change the default SIM for Data through settings or use the provided FixSignal app.


Cannot set up pattern lock in Second Space (though PIN and Password lock works)
This is a bug of MIUI PatchROM source so cannot be fixed from my side.

Workaround: Use PIN or Password


PTP not working (MTP works though)
No fix yet.

Some Tips

How to get global Music app and MIUI Browser?
Ans.: You have to edit the build.prop.
Change "ro.product.mod_device=tomato" to "ro.product.mod_device=tomato_global"
Note: This will also reduce some features of developer ROM like Root access, Quick search etc.

How to enable on-screen Navigation Bar?
Ans.: You have to edit the build.prop.
Change "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" and reboot.
Then go to Settings > Other Settings > Disable hardware buttons
