It was there in previous Mad Oreo but it isn't preset in latest build
I m not talking about youtube freeze issue. It is about the issue that screen gets white and pixelated from the center or sides occasionally and reverts back to normal after some time.
When changing the primary and accent colours in colour engine, this issue goes, but after some time it comes again and it needs to be changed again. So i don't think this is a hardware issue.

Yes, I'm facing the same problem, my entire screen turns white with transparency and appears pixelated, please give a solution to this problem.

bugs

Open Settings>madOS extras>Color engine and change primary Color from default to dark and vice versa several times. This is what i do...

No, that doesnot work for me.

from my usage i have found the following,

1) the split-screen view is not resizable
2) lesser battery backup
3) if the auto-rotate is changed to portrait then it will remain in portrait even if changed to auto-rotate until reboot.

camera quality is not good as compare to stock,
while playing videos on mx player, videos are getting freeze ,
phone is not charging sometimes,
no fp,
4g is not working for me and phone is heating.
Camera quality is not good but better as compared to N roms.

Video freeze issue is in the old build which you might have downloaded from the download section. Download the new build from M.A.D. facebook.
Make sure you have flashed stock mm coolui 8 anytime before to get fp working.
For 4g, go to settings-network & internet-mobile network-advanced and select preferred network to lte.
Use greenify if phone heats.
But the 3 major issues are:
Substratum NOT working in the new build, occasional white screen and degraded camera quality as compared to stock.
Edit: substratum now works with the latest app only, and says after building overlays that the device needs to be rebooted for enabling overlays since the march 2018 update.
But now there is another issue, although it's only for me: Whenever i install any other rom other than madOS O, camera doesnt work and imei is empty, they now only work in madOS. Any possible fix? Although the problem looks silly i've tested it in 2 roms and 5 times. It is since the time i got the issue earlier after an sp flash. Restoring nvram is not workong in any rom other than madOS O. Any possible fix? @DerTeufel1980

Hello:)
So yeah, even I had the same IMEI issue, struggled for around 20 hours to fix it.. But the fix is quite easy. First you have to flash the stock ROM with SP flash tool with Format all+Download option and then the SIM cards will be detected.. Then you have to write the original IMEI using the Maui Meta 3G tool. The guide for writing IMEI is on YouTube:) Hope this helps;)

For installing ROMs other than madOS you need to install TWRP built by the ROM developer.. For example, you can't install Resurrection Remix OS using the TWRP developed by MAD unless you remove the assert lines in the updater-script or you have to use the TWRP built by the developer who built the RR ROM. This is because there is no universal TWRP for this phone right now..
