Hi! I am currently using LineageOS20 by @sabar_op and I am enjoying it. however, i just found out today that it doesnt support USB Audio.

Now i just want to ask. Does this ROM support it? Because if it does i will be switching right away. 😊🙏🙏
I never use USB audio so I can't answer your question but if this one doesn't there are two further A13 options.

Lineage 20 by kyasu which is on the Mi Pad 4 forum. You would need to change TWRP to install this as it is based on 4.4 kernel.

Arrow A13 by Pix106, which you can find on the Mi Pad 4 Support Group on Telegram. Your current TWRP is the one for this as it was developed by Pix106.


I've tried all four and they are all really good.

Have you used the same TWRP that you used for Lineage 19? If so you have an encryption issue as the old ROM is based on 4.4 kernel whereas the new one is based on 4.19 and is encrypted.

You need to flash the Pix106 TWRP on page 1 using Fastboot and format data. If that doesn't boot then do the following:

Format data
Reboot to recovery
Flash ROM
Format data
Reboot to System

I am not sure about lineageOS20 if it has a clover (8 inch version) and clover+ (10 inch version) indexing. But for pixele perience that is how you identify things. You download what your device is whether you are on the 8 inch side or the 10 inch.

Yeah it's been a while since i installed a rom, i am not sure why there is lineage and pixel - what is the difference? I guess whatever one i choose i need the clover+ though?

LineageOS is lineage. Pixelexperience has to be more Pixel-like in terms of features and looks of the ROM. I follow both threads and many say there is a minute difference between the 2 since both are from the aame dev. So maybe the only way to try is to flash it and see. Im sticking with lineage for now. 😊😁

Do you have the 10 or 8 inch version?

Please help - all of a sudden my MiPad-8 is now stuck in a TWRP-BootLoop 😭
I did not mess with anything recently and the tablet used to work find for weeks now.
Just felt asleep with it watching some prime movie and in the morning the battery was drained.
Afterwards it never booted into the system and for what reason ever always ended up in TWRP...
(I haven't rooted the device with Magisk or any other SU so far...)

I tried to reflash the same version again (from Nov.) I had running up to now.
Also reflashed the same recent TWRP version from Pix106.
Downloaded the newest PE version from Jan. also without luck.
Flashed the same (as I had) and the newest SouthWest Kernel as well.
Unfortunately all without any success --> Is anyone please having another ideas? 🙏
(Apart from factory resetting and loosing all my data...)

THANKS a lot

I'd say it's an encryption issue somehow so I'd suggest formating data as from what you've posted you haven't done so. You'll lose your apps and data but as you can't currently use your device then it might be your only option anyway.

Good luck 👍

I found the rom by kyasu and subscribed to the thrrad. He did confirm that usb headphones work on his rom so it's a high probability that usb audio/dac works. BUT the rom currently has a charging issue so i am waiting for the february updatr like i am also waiting for the next update of this rom. As for the arrow 13 you mentioned, google doesnt give me the results to the telegram thread. Lol

He means the Pixel Experience Plus ROM. There are two Pluses to account for. One the Pixel Experience ROM and one the device.

@CodeXter you could easily enough just get all the bits from Playstore and make your own Plus version of Pixel Experience.

Thanks for your clarification on my intention and unfortunately there are not "all" apps available via PlayStore (or elsewhere) to really feature the experience of the "real" Plus edition, but nevertheless I moved away now (see below)...

I'd say it's an encryption issue somehow so I'd suggest formating data as from what you've posted you haven't done so. You'll lose your apps and data but as you can't currently use your device then it might be your only option anyway.

Also thanks for your reply and yes, unfortunately all my attempts did not work out and i needed to reformat.
But for the reason, that I cannot explain what really happened I also lost my trust a bit into that ROM :cry:
So I decided to move away and give another recent one the chance to revive my MiPad-4:
PixelExperience Plus for Mi Pad 4 (Plus)

So far I can say:
- This one is already the PLUS Edition of PE (for either Clover or Clover+)
- It really feels like graphically optimized for a tablet (not just a overscaled phone)
- Also it seems to be performing a bit quicker on usual day-2-day actions (almost no lagging)
- And I havn't tried yet, but it also offers to flash different display refresh-rates (60/75/85/90 Hz)

FYI there will be no update of PE rom by me since other dev was built in the this thread. The kernel and device tree source is same with my build so I think the rom performance should be similar or maybe better with some improvement.

Thank you your dedication on bringing PE before the official came in.

    Fingerprint Registration does not work for my Mipad4+ (stops after several touches)
    Same here. Finger print enrollment doesn't work. Using clover+
    Aside from that and some screen transition artefacts, this ROM rocks

    Hmmm...Thanks to confirm it...I will check it...

    aside from the FP registration error, i just noticed the improvement on the audio on this initial android 13 build. Tried it on wired, bluetooth, and bulit in speakers. I dont know what's changed but it really sounds great.

    The FP will be fixed on next build.

    I have switched over from LineageOS

    Just for those reading this thread and wondering.

    I did a clean install and did not restore anything. I then spent an hour in Playstore adding back all my most used apps and logging into accounts. So an absolutely clean install. I also used Fastboot to install twrp-4.19-3.7.0_9-clover-20221007-0724 before installing this ROM. I also added the camera apk that sabar has posted for download. I do not use Magisk.

    Autorotate works in all my apps, but not on the lock screen (as has been discussed). Not something I care about my lockscreen is just black. Playstore is certified. Netflix is installable and indeed runs fine. Netflix is in SD as is always the case but on an 8" screen SD looks good.

    WiFi runs at the full speed of my Internet connection, so close to 100Mbps. My connection is via a 5Ghz channel. 4G LTE runs at about 50Mbps which is only limited by my reception. Bluetooth works and my Creative headphones default to aptX HD. I have a Bluetooth DAC for my HiFi and it connects via LDAC for the best bluetooth connection you can have. My wired headphone and microphone work as well.

    Microphone works and I can run Duolingo without problems (something that I have not been able to do for a while).

    I use external USB-C drives. They work. They also work via the Google Files app, which was not always the case. I have a 256GB microSD card inserted and set as external storage. It works fine.

    GPS locks on quickly. No issues. Compass apps and SkyMap work as they should. Google Maps and maps.me work as they should.

    I have a Google One account and the Google VPN is installed and running. I also have Avira anti malware installed - the free version.

    I use Google Authenticator and was able to use the camera to read the QR codes from inside the app. Google Lens works and will capture an image and look for results.

    All in all a very polished product this early on in development. Apart from a rotating lock screen I do not see much that needs fixing. Some have issues with the camera but mine works well enough with the apk file on the download page. For me the camera is only for using as a QR scanner, Google Translate and Google Lens and it will never get used for actual photography.

    EDIT: Inware reports that root is hidden. Thus I do not see any problem with using banking apps if you wanted to do that.
    EDIT 2: I set screen size to maximum in the settings to make the screen look right and I played with the font size to get it "just right" for me.

    Thanks for the review.
    Cam will be fixed on next build with oss cam HAL.
    Latest build will be for Mi Pad 4 8" as I see more user use 8" than 10".

    Latest rom, see 1st post for both Mi Pad 4 and Mi Pad 4 Plus.
