Hi!
It was a clean install from official miui (global developer beta).
Just followed normal installation procedure: twrp installation + standard wipes (not system) + rom flash + reboot = done!
I had some trouble with twrp installation though (I had to also flash misc file, otherwise recovery did not install and went always back to miui recovery).
Regards!

Hi,
first of all great work on the ROM, i really love it!
After hours of searching here and googling, I did not get encryption to work....
Is there a tutorial I missed?
My device is a Xiaomi Mi8 (Global) a.k.a. dipper
Where I came from:
- Unecrypted data partition
- TWRP 3.3.1-1 from TWRP.me by mauronofrio
- MiUI 9.9.3
> worked like a charm!
But then I needed encryption to be enabled to use MS Teams on it...
So I:
- Made Data-Backup
- Went to Settings > ... > Encrypt Phone
> Ended in bootloop and finally in TWRP with unbootable device
>> OK, this was what I expected. (Why it should be that easy)
Then I:
- tried different settings in /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom (and /system/vendor/etc/fstab):
- encryptable=ice (was set before I started)
- fileencryption=ice
- fileencryption=forced
- tried other TWRP Versions:
- 3.2.3.0 (offical) by mauronofrio
- 3.2.3.0 by wzsx150
- 3.3.1-0607 by wzsx150
All ended with the same error:
- Unable to mount /data invalid argument
- System not booting
Is there any way other going back zu stock miui global incl. stock recovery to get encryption on a Xiaomi Mi 8?
Thank you in advance!

Did you get it to work? I've updated my phone earlier this week (use to be on 9.6.27) and discovered that the tracking has stopped since then. I've just seen that my mi 8 was no longer associated to the tracking. I've reactivate it but it's a bit soon to know if this was the issue, I'll let you know later.
If you want to check on your end, you'll need to go in maps, press the three lines to open the menu and select Timeline. Then you have a location icon under World (my phone is in French so I'm roughly translating), press it and it'll show something like Location history activated Manage. Select Manage and then on the new screen, deploy Associated devices to this accompt (again, a rought translation). There you should have your Mi 9 which, if like me, is unchecked. Just check the box then test it out.
That's the I have done (in my Mix2S) and result in device encrypted (and accessible via TWRP):
* Wipe device then Format data
* Flash global ROM (not EU)
* Reboot device then configure lockscreen password (to set encriptation password)
* Reboot into recovery
* Introduce your lockscreen password to decrypt /data/data and /sdcard
* Wipe device (not format data)
* Flash EU ROM
* Mount /vendor
* Edit /system/vendor/etc/fstab.qcomm then change "fileencryption=ice" to "fileencryption=ice,quota"
* Reboot device
After that the result is:
* You need your password to access the device after boot
* You need your password to access /sdcard and /data/data when reboot into recovery (you can bypass the introduction of the password but they result in incomprensible filenames and contents in /sdcard and /data/data)
I'm using last official (3.3.1) but note that your device and mine isn't the same.
NOTE about encryption: Due to EU ROM isn't supporting encryption, after follow the instructions that I've posted a few posts above, you can wipe device from TWRP recovery but you can't format data. Also, remember to manually update the fstab.qcomm in /vendor every time you flash a EU ROM (before reboot).
If you forget to update the fstab.qcomm file the result is a bootloop...
This bootloop is easily solved restarting in recovery then updating the fstab file...
Don't forget to reboot into recovery then bypass password introduction to see if files in /sdcard are displayed normal or not.
Also, remember the notes that I've written here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/9-8-29-9-9-3-9-9-6-last-miui-10.52036/page-27#post-502179

Just corrected typeerrors in green.

Maybe after mi mix 4's release. They might release with mi mix 4. They did the same last year with mi mix 3 and MIUI 10.
Redmi note 7, 9.9.3, *no-support-for-this-app-on-this-forum* hdr enhanced mode no works. Anybody with this problem? In early versions this feature was working. Thanks .

In the last 2 or 3 releases there is this bug. If you switch to HDR+ (not enhanced) you'll have all the photo you want (with lower quality, but it works)

you guys are messing with data and partitions of the phone, dont be amazed if someday you make it unusable..if you want an encrypted device dont use custom roms..use oficial one..just my 2 cents.

If you are asking the users, the answer is "of course!".
If you are asking the devs, it's a violation of rules. ;-)

How would you downgrade? When I try it, I can't encrypt data

Anyone else having issues downloading files from Google Chrome? They act like they download successfully but never get saved. I've tried manually setting the download location but when I tap the option it just shows me Downloads as the only option with no way to change it.
Downloads worked fine previously on latest MIUI Global Stable ROM.
EDIT: Also one other small thing I noticed, but it seems like the Camera's internal stabilization was working for a 4k 60fps video I took the other day, but today I took another one and it doesn't seem to be working now (though it never worked with 60fps in the latest MIUI Global Stable ROM). However, on the plus side, stabilization is working and saving correctly in Google Photos for 4k 60fps videos whereas it would work but fail to save on any 60fps video I tried in the Global ROM (1080p and 4k). I haven't had this phone very long so I don't know how well that option actually works anyway, so maybe it is working and it just happened to work better with that particular video the other day, it's hard to say since I haven't taken many videos yet.
