[PATCHES] For getting the best out of treble roms. [Notch, Sound and NFC fixed]

[NielsvdS]

Hello everybody!

This patch is for getting the notch working on treble roms.
- Tested on PHH Treble (9.0)

Manual:
Mount system and vendor in TWRP
adb push treble-overlay-xiaomi-mi8.apk /vendor/overlay/treble-overlay-xiaomi-mi8.apk
adb push treble-overlay-xiaomi-mi8.apk /system/overlay/treble-overlay-xiaomi-mi8.apk

Download: treble-overlay-xiaomi-mi8.apk

To fix the crappy sound:
- Reboot into TWRP
- Mount vendor
- Use file manager to remove the whole soundfx direcory (/vendor/lib64/soundfx)

To fix NFC:
- Download the zip (over here)
- Reboot into TWRP
- Mount vendor
- Flash the zip

Current bugs on phh-treble (9.0) :
- Fingerprintscanner pretend to be an enter / select key.
- Camera is not yet the quallity of the stock MIUI
- Hotspot is not working (Bluetooth thering does work)

PS:
If you find something to patch, let me now!
Also if you got a patch, be nice to share it

All treble roms will work on Mi 8, because it's launched with Android 8.0 or higher.
The Mi 8 is an A-Only version, so you have the flash the A-only image

It's only possible some features wont work, like wifi, camera and fingerprint scanner.
I use the PHH Treble (9.0) rom and I'm really satisfied

Still waiting on my Mi 8 to arrive, but I'm glad you figured out how to implement the notch! mind sharing an image of what the notifications look like now? does it have the overflow dot when the notifications exceed the room?

At the moment I have no notifications, so I will wait for notifications and make a screen of it! :laugh:

EDIT:
I've got enough notifications to make a screen of it!

Thanks, appreciate it. looks good, only problem is now that the clock is on the left there is only room for 2 notifications it seams. Wonder if there is any way to move the clock back to the right to make more room?

It's for now possible with an Substratum theme to move the clock to the position you want.
Here is the link to the theme: StatusBar Clock
It works on the Mi 8

I've installed the phh-treble over MIUI, I've did a factory reset with TWRP and flashed the system with the phh-treble image

same. I've never touched treble before. I'm using xiaomi.eu rom at the moment but i'd much rather get away from miui to something more stock. Also does Xposed work?

Are there any bugs that u are facing?

Are there any bugs that u are facing?

Only the annoying soundbug with notification and alarm sounds, the other are fixed by ViperFX 1.7

Also the fingerprint sensor pretends to be the enter of the select key.

I have to figure it out where it is going wrong, so I can fix it with an other patch :good:

Tomorrow I will make a guide!

I also had to figure it out what to do and I have been stuck, so it's nice to share my experience with installing a full treble rom.

Can we all do this using TWRP or we need a PC?

 

[krugerbud]

Wow this is great ! Could very well be the first ever custom rom for Mi 8?
Can you list all working and non-working features on your Treble ROM?

 

[NielsvdS]

It is possible! download the apk.
Reboot into recovery, just mount system and vendor in TWRP

Use the filemanager in TWRP:
- Copy the apk from your internal storage
- Paste it at /vendor/overlay
- Copy the apk again
- Paste /system/overlay
