First impressions
Thank you to all ROM and Kernel developers.
I've installed XenonHD and replaced kernel with Okitavera's version 8.0. I also have Gapps nano, Magisk 19.4 and ANXCamera 148 installed. I've installed it over Global 10.3.4 MIUI, so that's the firmware I have.
Overall this ROM is smooth and works well. I've tried to love MIUI 10 (until Xiaomi let me unlock my phone, I've had to use it for a week) and I mostly did, but bugs related to notifications and setting default apps were show stoppers for me.
Let me list small issues I have in hope that someone can suggest some workarounds:
1. Google Pay seems to work with this Magisk module:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...7-1-22-pie-t3929950/post79643248#post79643248 up to the point of adding the credit card successfully to GPay. But when I've tried to pay with my phone, the card terminal said "unsupported card". Is there any known way around it with unlocked and rooted phone? Fooling around with Magisk Hide Props module only makes things worse - ctsProfile turns red. I guess SafetyNet is taken care of by the kernel already?
2. Always On Display is too bright, especially at night and there doesn't seem to be any way to configure it. I liked color themes in MIUI for AOD, is there a - battery friendly - way to bring them to AOSP-based ROMs? Or an alternative?
3. Google Play Store doesn't list Netflix app at all. It did work on MIUI so I guess this is issue with Play Protect or something. Is there a workaround? I've tried adding "Google" and "Play" things to Magisk Hide list to no avail. For now I've installed Netflix app via ApkPure app store and it works (it's added to Magisk Hide just in case) but this is not ideal.
4. Fingerprint reader is much slower than it was on MIUI though it seems to recognize me better. On MIUI I often had to try 2-3 times before the phone unlocked. Here, I'm almost always recognized but it takes anywhere between 0,5 to 1 second which is long. Especially coming from very quick power-button fingerprint I used to have in Xperia XZ1... Can anything be done about it?
5. WiFi doesn't connect automatically to known networks.
I've read whole this thread and also those for other ROMs but I don't think I've found anything that would help fix these. I'll be glad to do some testing/logcatting if it's needed.
