Works way, way better than I would've expected for a GSI.
So far, the only gripes I have with the ROM are:

- The fingerprint reader is not really accurate nor fast, but adding the same finger a bunch of times improves the reliability;
- Double tap to wake is missing;
- As far as I've seen, there's no way to disable the Ambient Display. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but it doesn't turn off when the device is laying flat for a while nor when it's in a pocket. Kinda concerned with burn-in;

Everything Magisk/Root related works fine, except for Viper4Android or Dolby Atmos.
Didn't have any issues restoring backups with Titanium, so far I haven't experienced a single crash.
Great job, man!

EDIT: So, three things I found out while using the ROM: first, there actually is a way to disable the Ambient Display, yay! Google simply moved it in the display settings, under the section that lets you control how notifications behave on the lockscreen. Weird, but it works.
Secondly, Bluetooth earbuds and speakers stopped working after a while: the phone connected to both devices, but didn't play media through them. Apparently this is an Android 10 bug that happens occasionaly, had to re-do a clean install to fix it.
Thirdly, the microphone doesn't work when sending WhatsApp voice notes. Haven't had time to actually call someone and see if it works there, but I'll add onto this post once I'll check.

TL;DR: Yeah, as long as you don't care about the camera and the stuff I mentioned in my previous post!

Long version: I've been using this ROM as my daily driver ever since, and I really haven't noticed any actual deal breakers.
Performances are great, I'd say on par with MIUI! No stutters, everything feels really responsive and I'm able to hit a consistent 60FPS on high details while playing Call of Duty: Mobile.
DT2W is missing, but I've been using "Always on AMOLED" from the PlayStore, which apart from offering a customizable Ambient Display with burn-in protection also sort-of enables that feature.

The microphone does work, it's just that since I restored WhatsApp with Titanium Backup I had to manually allow the microphone permission. Oops.
If you use Bluetooth Headphones, though, they don't work while using the Google Dialer.
GCam sort of works? There's a 6.2 build for the Mi 9 SE which is kind of compatible, but the experience is really hit or miss. So far, I've not been able to find a MIUI camera port that doesn't crash on lunch or a more optimized GCam.

Apart from that, I'm loving this ROM. It's really all I'll need until a build of HavocOS will be available for our device :)

EDIT: ANXCAMERA IS WORKING! All you have to do is to download the latest zip and change the "ro.product.device" value to "pyxis" inside the build.prop file ^^

I used to install Havoc GSI pie on my phone, Anx camera works, calling and stuff work, but no viper and FOD sucks. I'll try this one myself. Thanks so much

flash this first or flash the viper first man? I tried, not working. I installed Viper legacy, it asks me to install driver all the time
I got the Viper4Android 2.7 apk from XDALabs, once I installed it I flash Audio Modification Library, the module I linked and after a reboot it all worked
