[Mi 8] [Weekly Review] MIUI 12 Xiaomi.EU Beta 20.7.16

[ilove_mi8]

Hi MIUIers,

Welcome back to my thorough review of this week Xiaomi.EU beta ROM! Please report and confirmed if you encountered same issues too. Now let's get started!

WHAT'S NEW
1. Redesigned accessibility settings.
Categorized accessibility settings into general, vision, hearing and physical section.

2. Improved Always on Display (AOD) settings UI.
Added icons beside text of displayed items in AOD UI.

3. Added option to change atmospheric pressure unit on Weather.
Change atmospheric pressure to variety number of units.

NEW BUGS
1. Floating notification missing shadow underneath it.
Difficult to read the floating notification especially when on any apps that use light theme (e.g. Settings).
(Appears on MIUI 12 20.7.9 as well)

2. Settings crashed when searching for Accessibility option in search.


BUGS FIXED
1. Fix issue with widgets scrolling behavior..

2. Same as listed down on official changelog.


REMAINING BUGS
1. Picture in Picture (PiP) broke.
Youtube and other apps that support PiP can't be activated properly in small PiP window (When using full screen gestures).

2. Black screen on video panel when minimizing app to floating window.
Steps to reproduce: Play Youtube video, swipe up to float the app, and black screen will emerge.

3. Dark mode status bar blackened problem in force dark mode apps.

Nothing special to mention in this update. But the missing shadows behind the floating notification really makes it hard to separate between the app foreground and the floating notification (lack of depth).

I'm noticing that I need to click twice or wait a little bit when wanting to share a screenshot via other app, the touch doesn't respond properly, no trouble whatsoever sharing via other way. Can you check if you have this behavior also? Slds,

The one finger scroll on widgets have been fixed also...

I'm changelog mentions that steps are also shown in the AOD. However, I am missing the entry.
Incidentally, you cannot change any of the options mentioned with the AOD from superwallpaper. The option is simply missing.

Yeah I do face this weird touch behavior too. The touch also doesn't respond accurately when using YouTube in floating window mode especially when the window are small. Not sure if its related or not.

Hi, it happened to me the first time I tried to share a screenshot.
But then I tried again and it never happened again.

To me, the "old one" is much better than ios-copy-cat.
