Flash GSI

[pengus77]

Thanks

Did you or someone noticed better Batterie Life with Havoc compared to xiaomi.eu roms ?

Of course it's better. MIUI has an insane amount of background services and, moreover, xiaomi.eu is based on a development rom. This means that the rom itself has debug enabled and the kernel too, leading to way more battery usage compared to a standard GSI (which is also compiled as userdebug) but has 1/10th of the background services and, if you flashed OkitaKernel, a kernel stripped of most of the debugging crap.

Edit: also in /vendor/overlay/ remove everything but BluetoothResCommon.apk. The phone will work just fine, VolTE will be magically enabled, network mode display will be fixed and you'll lower a bit the idle battery consumption. There is much crap left in there by xiaomi that is insane.

Sounds nice,thank you.
Last question: Havoc or Foloko for daily use and which one is better updated ?

 

[pengus77]

I'm just fine with floko. Battery life is ok, can be better but I'm not complaining. I use it for work, so about 1/2 sot and 2 hours calls, plus whatsapp web and some other apps. I manage to get home after 10 hours with 75/76 % left.

IF Havoc has enforcing SELinux, to get GPay working on GSI you should set up Google Play Services as beta tester, then you must set in Magisk Hide all the Google Play Services related apks and GPay itself.

I've just managed to get GPay working (at least configuring cards is ok, I will try to pay with it tomorrow).

I tried Magisk module that changes device fingerprint, but again I got stuck at boot animation.
Setting fingerprint manually by resetprop allowed OS to boot but ctsProfile was still false.

Finally I found another Magisk module called SafetyPatch by hackintosh5. CtsProfile passes check and Google Pay doesn't complain about rooted device.

Please let me know if it is working. My Gpay does not give any feedback at all when tapping on a POS

I've just paid with GPay. Everything went fine, just like on stock.

Now I wait only for FOD to work on AOD and all lenses available in GCam.

Actually FOD works on AOD when there is a notification. It stops working when there are only icons on AOD. Is it similar in Floko?

Which GSI are you using? I've been in Floko this week and FOD doesn't work with AOD notifications

Sent from my Mi 9 SE using XDA Labs

 

[maciek90]

Havoc OS 2.6, but it works only when there is notification on AOD. So most time I have to use the power button to wake up the screen and then I can use FOD.

Could someone do a little video review of floko and havoc. Would be very interested to see how these function. Also, to see performance in certain apps like gpay , gcam, etc

Are you using stock or custom kernel?

 

[maciek90]

Are you using stock or custom kernel?

I'm using Okitakernel 2.5

 

[Flounderist]

I'm using Okitakernel 2.5

Okita kernel should pass SafetyNet out of the box.
I will give a try to safety patch later on. I am on stock kernel and even if magisk is passing SafetyNet GPay is not working at all.

So I had the same problem! My personal solution was: I installed Okitakernel +magisk with the SafetyPatch module from hackintosh5. After this, I was able to use GPay again and also paying works fine!

Flashed custom kernel but still no luck. I won't use safety patch because it is messing build.prop.
Before fixing it, does your GPay was reacting when trying a payment at a POS? My GPay doesn't turn on at all.

I had no cards configured so I didn't try it. I flashed SafetyPatch only because ctsProfile check was failing and I couldn't configure cards in GPay.

I found that NFC antenna in our devices is in top half of the phone. It didn't work when I tried to put the phone exactly in the center.

I have two questions for Floko users.

Have you tried voice calls in Messenger, Skype or WhatsApp? It looks like my mic doesn't work at all. I tried several fixes but it works only in normal calls, Google assistant and while recording videos.

I only have front and back camera in GCam from BSG. I don't have wide or 48mpx lens. Do you have them available in GCam? I read somewhere that wide lens is working in GCam from BSG.

I always passed CTS profile on magisk since day 0. But no gpay working since I unlocked the bootloader. I tried tapping device from any possible angle, by the way. No NFC vibration at all.
I made several call with WhatsApp and mic work fine. 48mpx are a byproduct of pixel binning, so gcam read the real hardware sensor, that is 12mpx.
The wide angle works in portrait mode

Before I fixed it, I was not able to set up GPay at all. I always got the error that I have a rootet phone.
Oh and I forgot: After installing Okita, I also deleted the folder /data/data/com.google.android.gms in recovery mode. Also I cleared all data in the google play services.

I edited db file in com.google.android.gms only. Are you still getting updates and so on?

 

[GuilGon]

What camera app are you using? I'm on Floko and the rom is working pretty nice but I don't know how to take photos with Wide and Telephoto lenses. Thanks!

I solved it! I'm using gcam (just googled it) and configured settings to use both lenses.

 

[GuilGon]

Does anyone have a working NFC on Xiaomi mi9 se? NFC is ON, but nothing happens(

Same here. I need NFC to read bus/subway cards not for Gpay and nothing's happening.
